Caves are weirder and more varied than you think
i think the funniest thing about kipperlilly and riz being parallels and the narrative obviously lining up for them to go toe to toe in the presidential campaign is like… kipperlilly could plan for riz. she could meta all the rogue shit she wants and pretend to be four steps ahead like she’s ever gone on a real adventure herself.
how the fuck do you plan for kristen applebees?
So for those keeping track at home, here are the current mystery threads. There’s a lot of them, and most of them are connected. MAJOR spoilers.
Ruby’s parentage
The snow appearing. We also saw the cloaked figure turn around in Space Babies, which is didn’t do in The Church on Ruby Road
Mrs. Flood
There’s something wrong with the TARDIS
There’s always a twist at the end and the recurring appearance of Susan Twist
The strange amount of fourth walls breaks
The One Who Waits
Meep’s Boss (possibly someone else on this list)
The Master is kicking around somewhere
Harbinger is still loose
The Doctor regenerated that butterfly. Can we talk about the implication of that?
Am I missing anything?
The Master always bringing in diagetic music, (I Can't Decide, Hey Missy, Rasputin, etc) because they've always been a little miffed that THEY couldn't hear the non-diagetic theme music like the Doctor could.
Imagine your best friend swore up and down they could sometimes hear situationally relavent music. Yet you were stuck with a 4 beat pounding in your head or nothing.
Like sooooo unfair. Hand me the aux, I'm leveling the playing field
That's wrong.
Doctor Who | "The Devil's Chord" | 2024 Doctor Who | "Doomsday" | 2006 "Doomsday" by Murray Gold
If you watch Doctor Who on Disney+, it gives you a 'skip intro' button, and if anything shows that Disney does not understand the appeal of Doctor Who, it's that. Who skips the Doctor Who intro. It's the least skippable intro in television history. It never even occurred to me to do that.
Okay absolutely off the wall Doctor Who theory time.
They are trapped inside a television show. An outrageous claim I know buuuut I do have a fair bit of evidence. First something kinda unsubstantial, the sonic screwdriver literally looks like a TV remote, and in the episode the Doctor hit the Mute button.
Second: the key art for the penultimate episode "The Legend of Ruby Sunday" features a TV set
Third: The sheer amount of fourth wall breaks in the past four episodes trumps what we've seen in the whole of the revival.
Fourth: At the end of "The Devil's Cord" a music number saying there's "Always a twist", and an actress that has been popping up all over this new era is 'Susan Twist'. She keeps popping up, because 'There's Always a Twist'.
Fifth: The Doctor mentions that he thought the music was "Non-diegetic", meaning he could hear the music in the scene and assumed it was just part of the show, until Ruby mentioned she could hear it. Implying that whenever we hear the Non-diegetic music in the show so can the Doctor.
Thank you for listening to my absolute crackpot theory.
Zac Oyama is the funniest person on this show because the ABSOLUTE lack of hesitantion to move to the dm seat and not only enable but fully spur on Ally's development of K2's character- and he's so into it too like he recaps everything dramatically.
also congratulations to riz for being The dragon killer of all time. kalvaxus and oisin's grandmother took that picture together thinking they were hot shit and little did they know centuries later they'd both get absolutely rocked by the same 4'4 goblin teenager with a briefcase and glasses. get fucked losers
I interpret the scene of when Murph realising that they've gathered every single student in a big boat when their enemy has a cloud rider engine as Riz realising it and jumping onto like Fabian's chest, grabbing onto his shirt and, veins popping, yelling WE'RE ON A BOAT AND EVERYONE IS HERE literally as it rumbles and lifts from the ground
it was played as a joke but
there's something genuinely harrowing about gorgug and kristen on the deck of the ship, pelted by rain, swarmed by dragons, these two teenagers looking at each other with wide eyes trying to bury the fear down deep, and
do you remember when we died?
they were freshmen, they were children, they were two years younger but it feels like a hundred hundred years ago
it feels like yesterday, because deep down they're still that boy hiding his too large frame behind a metal flower and a girl stuffing her too large personality into the pages of her bible
do you remember when we died?
the ship rocks violently with cannon fire, hands of fear and divinity and loss creeping from the clouds
do you remember the day you lost your faith?
do you remember a forest so sharp it cut you clean through?
do you think we ever woke up?
Brennan when he is the victim of an evil plan.
Brennan when he is the perpetrator of an evil plan.
you're laughing. kristen's straight british clone (recently accepted to hudol, possibly pregnant) just encountered the divine embodiment of nightmares, said "blimey", and got immediately obliterated for it and you're laughing.
porter has always hated gorgug because their definitions/uses of rages are fundamentally different. gorgug clashes so hard because his rage DOES come from a place of protection and defensiveness (and justice...) and that threatens the foundations of porters beliefs with ankarna
Elven maidens on ships, betrayed by dragons, caught in the storm, and history repeats itself☹️
i keep having this dream where your blood is turning my hands into river stones, and i keep waking up to pale white sunlight

You know how Flamingos are pink because of the shrimp they eat. That's also why Fig's skin is pink. It's not her fiendish heritage. It's her sheer shrimp intake. Yeah, she's a fiend. A fiend for shrimp.
The thing about Kipperlilly Copperkettle to me, is this. If you’ve ever been an emotionally neglected child, or a child that struggles significantly with mental health but is able to keep up a facade of normalcy, you often start to wish you had ‘real problems’ to justify the emotional turmoil that you’re in, or to receive adult validation and support. If I was really struggling, someone would notice. Someone would help.
Imagine being 14 years old. A freshman in high school. You are lost and you are angry and you may or may not be receiving any care or attention at home. Your grades are perfect, but you’re still not receiving the validation you so desperately crave. And you see him. The boy in your class, the only one on your academic level. And he is getting that recognition. And his problems are like ‘this giant dragon killed my dad’ and the solution is ‘I’m going to tear it up with my teeth’ and everyone applauds and affirms him as he destroys the thing destroying him
But you’re struggling, too. You want to tear with your teeth, you itch for the feeling of blood hot in your mouth. You are so angry. Your problems aren’t anything you can bite into. You are the problem. You’re 14. You’re so angry your skin feels too tight and no one sees and no one cares.
And then an all powerful force, a g-d dead and buried, kills you and all your friends. And she says…your problem, it can be a solution. It can save your friends. Come back. Come back to me. Tear with your teeth. Lie and cheat and steal and kill and be enough. Be enough because you’re angry. You’re 16 years old. You take the deal.
so you mean to tell me that Gilear was cursed because his great great great great great great etc. grandfather's goddess got mad at him after a divorce because he was the wingman she met her ex through....jesus
