missy says “the doctor kills people too, i just enjoy it more. he’s the farmer, i’m the hunter, you know” and that makes me think she’s intimately aware of the sacrificial lamb paradigm. the lord is my shepherd. companions as beautiful little foals raised for the slaughter. with sorrow, of course, and remorse. the farmer loves every new creature in their flock with an emotional tenderness reserved for children and lovers. he’ll grieve when the butcher comes. he always does. but it’s inevitable. and you can always pretend your pet will live as long as you but fifty dog years are ten of your own. and when the time comes to put them down you’ll blame the vet. you’ll blame whoever has to bleed the calf. you’ll try not to blame yourself. after all, creatures in the wild alone lead such boring, listless lives. you’re showing them the wonders of the cosmos they’d never have seen with their normalcy-blinkered gaze. you’re doing them a favour. you’ll adopt another one. it will thank you as the light leaves its eyes.

but the hunter is evil, you say. the hunter kills willfully, the hunter stalks its prey, the hunter attacks with no mercy. instantly. painlessly, maybe. is that really so much worse?

after all, many moons ago, with a bloodied rock in his hands and the spectre of Death breathing down his neck, the hunter’s future had become the farmer’s first sacrifice. many moons ago, cain was the farmer and abel the hunter. and cain killed abel

Saxteen is getting ready to go to therapy, which means they're sharing the bathroom atm

14: Hey Koschei-

Master: *Stops mid eyeliner and glares*

14: Sorry.. It just kinda slipped out.

Master: uh-Huh.. right... What is it Sigma-balls ?

14: *Stops mid shave* Why would you call me that?

Master: Why did YOU call ME that?

14: Because it's your- you know what, never mind.. You said you wouldn't call me that anymore...

Master: You're really still not over that? That was like... a million years ago.

14: You know how I felt about it-

Master: Ooh boohoo. Cry about it. So you got teased in school, didn't we all?

14: That's actually what I was going to ask about. Do you think we should tell her about... you know...

Master: About what? That you're a cry baby? I think she knows about that, dear.

14: *sighs* .... I meant... do you think we should talk about that kid we killed..?

Master: *Stops mid eyeliner, again* No... We vowed never to talk about it again and here you are- Talking about it. Why?

14: I just thought that.. It might he healthy to-

Master: First of all we have better things to talk about. Me! Second of all- I'm driving today.

14, nicking himself: Ouch!- Wot!? Oh no, you are not!!

Master: Why not? Im licensed. And she loves me.

14: She does not!

Master: We'll see about that >:)

14: Don't you touch her!

Bonus:

14: Hey! Don't touch that! She doesn't like it when you-

Master: Yeah, yeah! Stop back, seat driving! *Pets her* You'd like that, wouldn't you? Someone who actually knows how to drive?

The TARDIS: *hums happily*

14: ... She never likes it when I do that.. *pouting*

Master: Oh, shut up. It's not her fault you've crashed and landed her so many times. Huh? You're just sensitive, ain't ya girl? What did that horrible mean, man, do to you?

The TARDIS: *starts purring*

14: *ultimate betrayal*.... I think I want a divorce.

It looks like I'm plunging deeper and deeper into Doctor Who lore while writing Happy Now. I'm not sure how much some of it is known.

By the way, if you do, maybe you could explain to me: why the hell didn't he regenerate?!

[sneakertin]

happy rock murder day!!

[nethnad]

just found torvics memories from the day he got murked by a rock in the matrix 🤯 (NOT FAKE) (NOT CLICKBAIT)

HOW THE FUCK DID IT KNOW

[t1me-v0rt3x]

I could write a full essay on the symbolism between Koschei and Theta's names, and i see it loads. but why does no one talk about how Torvic's name means 'bay' or 'inlet' (meaning a branch of the sea, such as a *river*). like his name means river and he got murdered because he was drowning Koschei in a river.

i might write a whole thing about the name symbolism because i feel like it

[alexmey-does-an-arts]

why didnt koschei just drink all the water? is he stupid?

[jazzrazzberry]

And together, holding hands, they watched as his body burnt. They watched as Torvic’s skin bubbled and burnt and became smoke. They watched as they sent him back to Nature.

“Jupiter was meant to be a star…”

____

probably will finish later

[drop-dead-dropout]

y'all big finish is fucking crazy anyways here's two art things I arted after listening to "master" (you know the audio drama in which it is revealed that the doctor beat another kid to death with a rock for bullying him and the master when he was eight. yeah you know. that one)

Here's the Gallifreyan translations

I spent six hours on these btw.... Totally not unhappy with how they came out

[gecko-vibes]

Wait just realized something, In the big finish I, Master we learn the doctor killed Torvic with a rock to save the masters life and then they burned the body together , in season 2 or 3 of New Who 10th doctor burns the masters corpse to make sure the body is fully destroy and not regenerated or scavanged as a standard time lord ritual, but we also learn from heaven sent that Time lords often wait weeks before burying their dead cause they re so hard to kill and have stay dead to avoid burying them alive

my point is : did Torvic not have any regenerations left? did the doctor bash his fucking skull só hard he interrupted the regeneration process all together??? did they burn the possibly not 100% dead body of Torvic ?? or am I missing something??

[sh4dz-kn8xx]

Guys... I finished the thoschei keychain

I think I'm going to burn it (rock murder reference) (torvic reference)

(I hate it/hj)

they are so silly ^⁠_⁠^

wut

[kronos-lungbarrow-oakdown]

Sometimes I think I haven't been too long in or searched much about the Master lore's, right? Until it's 11pm and I am writing a random one-shot that came up in my head and I have to stop and ponder if the drums are in the Master's head because the Doctor rocked someone and Rassilon decided to put a signal his head but he refused thus it was implanted on the Master OR in the last sanction Rassilon needed a signal thing-y to come back so he sent an order back through miss Jade-Death in time so the Doctor rocked a man to install said signall.
