Random thought: what if Theta Sigma isn't just an Academy nickname, but a designation given by the Time Lords to denote which iteration of the Doctor they're dealing with?

The Doctor doesn't know that, they think it's just a silly Academy thing. They don't know that each time the Time Lords have wiped their memory they've been given a marker: Alpha Alpha, Alpha Beta, Alpha Gamma... all the way until Theta Sigma.

Me trying to write a deca fic for the hundredth time in a row: ok I can write their personalities well enough!!! Bruh…wtf is going on with the timelines…what canon should I follow…was this fact fanon or was this something I read somewhere in the novels…should I use this storyline from the tv show regarding the academy even if it doesn’t make sense within what’s canon to EU…what the hell is going on with their appearances…are they teens? are they children? do they look like fifty years olds? If they’re all time lords why the title that the academy gives them is also time lords couldn’t they pick another name 😩? Is this description of this character accurate or is this just how I pictured them in my head and now they’re someone else 😭 fine I’ll write nothing as always

Doccy PLEASE TELL THEM THAT ALL THOSE FICS WHERE THETA IS CUTE, PURE AND INNOCENT ARE A LIE. HE IS NOT RAINBOWS, please I am going to cry.

i don't really read fics, but yeah - theta is a little bastard. he canonically scraped through his academy exams with a 51%, failed his driving test, and was born into an extremely wealthy and powerful family. he's basically that rich kid who (nearly) flunked high school and crashed his dad's car on a joyride.

i'll admit that he had plenty of positive traits - pacifism, curiosity, creativity, bravery, etc. while it's true that he killed another student (torvic) and destroyed the body to avoid punishment, it was after years of violent bullying and it was on koschei's behalf. but he's definitely a far cry from cute, pure, or innocent.

if anything, koschei (the master) was the "better" of the two. he was a disciplined star pupil and a bit meeker than theta. they were both problem-causing little shits, of course, but theta was twice as much of a mess.

Like I said - academy era brainrot.

I had fun coming up with uniforms for them! I wanted to do my own design because, well, I like designing things! Koschei wears the full uniform in this one, while Theta is wearing a more 'casual' version - meaning the coattails are removed and he's rolled up the sleeves!

"I told you we'd get caught!"

I don't usually hop on to trends like this but the moment I saw it I thought oh yeah. That's totally them. I've not seen an academy era version yet but I did see a tensimm one which coincidentally was the other way around.

happy rock murder day!!

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

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.

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

Theta Sigma my beloved.

I like to imagine the other Gallifreyan kids make fun of him for having parents instead of being loomed like the rest of them
