Thoschei - Tumblr Posts
so thinking about this. @tobysrepostblog showed the koschei one to me and i remembered what theta meant. DEATH. oh where have i heard that word before? idk maybe Death from thr doctor who universe. who made countless deals with theta. theta who sent someone to death as a child. ricky when i catch u ricky-
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.
With the election coming up and the hopeful annihilation of sunak, it would only be sensible to draw the only Prime Minister that Britain needs
What if Saxteen walks around communicating through telepathy and out of no where 14 just starts dying of laughter because Sax just walked by and Donna is extremely confused, except the joke doesn't translate well to English so he cant even tell her.
He's just somewhere else and suddenly gets told "I see you" through telepathy and he just turns around like "Alright WHERE are you ya bastard!? I know you're here!" And saxons hiding behind a dumpster giggling. So 14 looks like a mad man in the middle of central London.
You just walk into the room and see them staring at each other and suddenly, out of no where the Master goes "Hey!! You take that back! I was not!" And 14 shrugs, looks away and goes "I dont know what you're talkin about. I even didnt say anything."
Poor shauns just standing there like "what the fuck is actually going on?"
Theyre so toxic I love them.
hey girl you're so sexy don't fall victim to a god complex noooo
the master killed missy because she was serving too hard
he couldn’t handle it
I don’t care how contrived it is. I will always enjoy two characters who don’t like each other somehow getting trapped in the same place, and having to work together to escape, while at the same time growing closer and learning that maybe, the other person isn’t so bad after all.
EAHHHHHHH- EAH :(
I'm sobbing I love them so much I'm so fuckin invested

so please I need someone to guide me before I start writing long angsty fic based on my guesses aidhaodnakdnkqapdiiqjsnfn
i think all these saxon things in new season are caused by simm!master just chilling with fourteenth doctor in a cottage and that's it. no evil plans, just two retired old timelords doing their retired stuff together and i refuse to believe otherwise.
Happiness have hit her like a bullet in the back,
Struck from a great hight,
By someone who should know better than that!
THE DOG DAYS ARE OVER. THE DOG DAYS ARE DONE.

«...I stand on the threshold and involuntarily look back in all senses - both material and mental. The TARDIS patiently waits for me, setting all navigation systems before its first flight with me on board. It's all going to end now, I think, catching the subtle line between what was and what awaits me ahead. And now, as I literally tear these words from my heart, vainly trying to figure out how to properly end this story, I look at the TARDIS in the yard, and it kindly flashes its light at the top, agreeing with the overwhelming nostalgia of the past, standing in this very present, into which I dove headfirst, like into a black hole. My days at the academy were over, and somehow, after everything that happened to me, it brought only a vague smile to my lips, not bitterness nor regret. Freedom was beating in my chest, and I could hardly believe that I had really managed to break free from the shackles and leave my whole life in Deca behind. I was sad, yes, that cannot be denied.
But I was free. I had longed for freedom for so long, I wanted to traverse the expanses of space without the label of Time Lord. It was all behind me - Theta Sigma's life was reaching its last moments before it would return billions of years later on the pages of this paper. The strange boy from the academy, who accidentally was picked into the group of top students and got involved in a ton of things, disappeared, leaving only a ghost of memories in the mind as a reminder. Now there was only the Doctor, who would save and protect, burying Theta's name as deep as possible in history. I didn't like Theta, and at the threshold, I felt a sharp aversion to everything I had experienced - there was no turning back, I understood that when I realized how much I hated the academy. Not in a bad way, of course, but having realized the true freedom at the doors of the TARDIS, I would prefer it to the academy.
Therefore, when I stepped over the threshold of the TARDIS and began my endless running through the Universe from one corner to another, I warmly smiled, watching the disappearing landscape of red Gallifreyan fields from a small screen, as if a burden had been lifted from my shoulders. I was not born on Gallifrey - even then I felt it, and it was not my fate to rot here until death.
The Doctor will be a wanderer. Running from planet to planet, studying and investigating new and new things. I did not know that so many adventures awaited me after the escape, but I was glad to meet any circumstances with open arms. Theta was not fond of surprises, but the Doctor craved them every minute.
Now, it seems that the Doctor's days will soon be counted. I begin to run away from him, and I realize that running is what I do best...»

just a random idea that popped into my head while I was working on a fic
like how would Doctor, now fully aware and actually free from his duties(let's say, 14th for example) would perceive himself in the past? I mean, I'm really curious about how actually 14th Doctor feels when... Welp, he doesn't have to be the Doctor anymore. There's so much to it for exploration honestly, not only his trauma healing process but finally making his mind up and proceeding everything what happend to him in the past, including his academy years (INCLUDING KOSCHEI ima make another post for this one later)
And I was thinking that maybe Donna would recommend him to start writing some kind of diary just to settle everything down in order in his absolutely chaotic memory. And he would start writing, realising so many things that he always feared, that he always wanted to run from, all the mistakes he never wanted to look onto again - and he will look, not with the eyes of Doctor, because Doctor would never look so openly back, but with eyes of someone else. Of someone who's now fully understanding. Of someone who's finally free from saving the Universe every Tuesday.
gotta take my meds now brb/hj
so let's look actually realistically at thoschei ship
and in realistically I mean looking with all the EU stuff that happend between them, because yeah that's basically the main conflict stuff
be careful there's a lot of words that I wrote without thinking twice lmao
why thoschei isn't canon yet?
so from the doctor's point of view I think the main reason is that he just cannot morally accept master as the way he is, not only due to his cunning nature which just cannot flow in the same stream with him, but also due to doctors morality codex which is fully conflicting with masters
and what hurts me even more is that it's fully doctors fault. which doctor also feels guilty of, but he never acknowledges it nor wants to because welp, doctor is a coward and that's it. he's afraid that it will eventually turn him into something else than doctor - doctor is supposed to save others, not running around with local universal criminal with weird principles
when we look from the master's point of view it's very different. master is just STUCK with doctor. he doesn't have anyone to kneel on, just no one who would be actually interested in him and no one who would give him admiration and understanding. it's so fucking horrible to be honest.
only doctor was able to do so, they had similar paths, and master was fully trusting him, and then doctor did a lot of things which resulted in betrayal. and master just didn't turn evil. hot take: master NEVER was evil and NEVER will be evil. It depends on from which eyes we're looking for.
if we're looking from the doctor point of view yeah, master is evil thats it. he's immoral and evil.
evil and good is a question of perspective.
so master did not turn evil for EVERYONE alright, he was just evil towards the doctor because of betrayal, and if you think about it - everything what was master doing eventually led to doctor
was it intentional? yeah, at the beginning of it
but with time that line just got blurred and he's doing everything instinctively.
and when there's no doctor around for thousand or so years, master isn't so «evil» anymore. he's just... koschei.
so with this I can say that the identity of master was created by doctor himself. there's SO MUCH more to it that I could write a fucking essay thirty pages long just describing all the shit they caused to eachother lifes (please god just let them reduce to atoms I swear-)
so for the thoschei to be canon(i mean healthy and almost fully established) we need a doctor who's not considering himself a doctor anymore.
luckily we have one! it's 14th :DDD
and we need a master who's not in need anymore to get admiration and awe from doctor using rage and a lot of killing in process involved
which could be anyone if doctor is able to redeem himself in eyes of master, redeem all this betrayal, give up his title
and then master will not have to run and kill everyone on sight because well... doctor-not-doctor-but-a-friend-from-distant-past is here. he's available and free™
and then they'll be able to start again from almost scratch
but through giving up themselves and building up again together.
so the main point of all this shit: saxteen is canon XDDDD
but actually I'm going to explore this deep further later in my fic for sure.
