Koschei - Tumblr Posts
Koschei would've been that kid that acted all mature and tough and cool as much as possible to an almost ludicrous extent around the other young time lords, but the moment any authority figure asked him if he was ok he would've immediately burst into tears

☆ Deca Masterpost ☆
Its come to my attention that Deca doesnt have a solid list of appearances, and much less in chronological order. So I’ve created one myself to outline what stories each member is in, and to the best of my knowledge, what order they go in
There are bound to be inaccuracies or missed stories. If you notice anything, I’d love to know what i’ve missed so I can update this. I’m also interested in making a list of stories where a character is mentioned briefly, for those characters that dont have alot of info/stories.

This post is what caused me to put this book on my Christmas list this year. I got it and I’m not super far in yet (I’m in Chapter 5, shortly after the bit with Borusa, actually) but it is entirely as fun as advertised so far! :)
Honestly I just get so excited whenever they go to Gallifrey, despite the Doctor and all intergalactic tour guides’ apparent consensus that it is a hopelessly dull place. But it’s a place replete with backstory and that’s why I love it. I have an academy-era fic I’ve been working on and I’m already thinking how I’m going to have to revise my portrayal of Borusa based on what I’ve learned in this book.
And, of course, it does have that distinctive Douglas Adams tone. My dad was surprised to learn that Adams had written for Doctor Who, actually, so that was a fun bit of knowledge to impart. Very fun book :)
Guys I have a new favorite Doctor Who book
Koschei the deathless definitely respects women’s rights 👏👏👏😎😎🫡🫡🫡
Small analysis on the “true” names of the characters The Doctor & The Master:
Recently I saw a post about how Theta means death, and I thought why the hell not look up what Koschei means (outside of the villain archetype) and he means deathless. It had me thinking - these names that the fandom seems to have chosen from hints and archetypes are scarily accurate.
Theta; the meaning of death, the hero where we are constantly shown as the hero, is a morally gray character. They are never at the hands of death, they are death’s hands. They never welcome death, and may never die. But they welcome upon the deaths of others even unintentionally. To the point where they murder another child to protect their other half.
Koschei; the deathless, the villain which the hero can never rid of. They have “died” several times, and we are led to believe they’re really dead every time. But like a cancer that our hero can’t get rid of, they come back again and again. They are the hands of the universe, driven with a madness so pure sometimes it can be seen as beautiful.
These two are unable to be without each other, The Doctor, our Theta, cannot exist without the Master, our Koschei. To exist without the deathless brings the universe pure fury and destruction. They are two sides of the same coin, and I wonder if the fandom is even aware of how these names represent their characters so well.
there is no monogamous explanation for whatever the doctor has going on. whatever the doctor has going on with the master is like long term stuff but I think those guys just keep inviting people to their polycule without asking the other and that's why they're so pissed at each other.
I wonder if there's any long angsty academy fics with thoschei-centred? like the whole thing from their first meet to the final fight between them so after you read it all you just get a deep depressed feeling like a void was placed inside of you because you just know what happend to them after all of these academy years????? slowburn friends to lovers to enemies with some silly adventures and then /snaps fingers/ it's angst and depression
please im begging slap me with some links of this
cause you know what happens to a fanfiction writer when they can't find the thing they want to read.
oh shit i might actually write it.
girls only want one thing and that's more academy era doctor who lore
