The Media Overanalysis (O)Mega Essay: Why Rogue Is The Bad Guy. Duh.

Code Mauve. Sorry, you’re a mutual and directly responded, so now you get The Post. It was bound to be someone eventually, and it was you. It’s nothing personal. You were just the first to dare my parapet.

@icantleave replied: rogue definitely isn’t the master because the master is simply incapable of cosplaying someone this genuine and unlike himself, his disguises are always essentially very him with a few traits hidden or amplified.

Either there is a psy-op and Disney aired a different version of this or a solid quarter of you got brain broken by American Mr Darcy- no don’t try and run, get back here. The only running you’re doing is this essay equivalent of a 10k.

You are intelligent. All of you. And yet what the hell does this mean? “rogue definitely isn’t the master because the master is simply incapable of cosplaying someone this genuine and unlike himself”

We’re going through this episode. All of it. This is not actually an ‘it is the Master’ post, it is a ‘but at the very least he sure acts like the Master would’ post, which is the above premise. But also just in general that Rogue is The Bad Guy.

Take it as the Master cosplaying Jack; a Pantheon member whose theme is Roleplay who like the others has watched the show and is deliberately filling the void daddy created and getting in by cosplaying the Master cosplaying Jack (has to be doing both to be skilled at Roleplay ala Maestro and the Toymaker’s skills in their areas, else he’d just be shittily cosplaying Jack); or literally he is just baddie Chuldur #6 fanboy who wants to bang the Doctor he saw on TV cus he’s sexy and they get Doctor Who out there as well as Bridgerton. All the concepts are adjacent:

Baddie fanboy roleplaying as Jack to fuck-slash-fuck-with the Doctor.

Places people. Let’s take it from the top:

Of course Gallifrey dies, is brought back again, dies, and is brought back again. Because that’s exactly what its lifeblood does. The Time Lords grasping for more life cursed themselves to genocide on loop.

for all i know that’s an eda subplotbut heyit’s a revelation for mehow did i get that brain blast?…wondering if the maestro and master are mirrors(or sibs w/e)cus of them both being named ‘master’and therefore could youdo anything fun with mirroringthe toymaker and rassilon(besides just having NPH play rassilon for funsies)who would have imagined that train of thought would be useful?

hi sorry i have a question. how do you become a person. how do you develop the will to be a person. i have sadly proven unkillable

intactics answered:

you have to be sincere. you have to stop being sad that you haven’t been killed and take up the burden of loving yourself and taking care of yourself. and when I say love yourself I mean pretend you are an angel sent down by God for the purpose of loving and healing one specific person, yourself. and when I say take care of yourself I mean pretend you are an alien zookeeper and your only job is to look after a single human being in the Earth enclosure, you. after a few years of practicing this, you will develop the ability to like yourself and enjoy your own company, and you’ll know enough about yourself to take it from there. I’m ordering you to do this, whether you have the “will” to do it or not, out of pure self-interest, because five years from now it will have made you good company and I prefer the human world to be populated with good companions. little lanterns against the inhospitable night of the age of Iron.

Another small reason I think we are being goaded into saying “bullshit” about the woman in the hood stuff, is because ‘it was all a coincidence/straightforward’ is fine for the real world but bad writing in a TV Show. And since one of the major conceits seems to be some people/gods having watched Doctor Who as a TV Show - we’re not playing for realism here, we’re playing for the opposite right now.

again i don’t think there’s really an argument???the memory changingthe church voiceover meaning he forgot her identityhis trauma reactionher not appearing to ruby alone in the windowand us drawing attention to thatall seems too solid to be ignoredbut we like a little meta on the meta

I’ve never been keen on the idea of Time Lords getting Loomed as adults (besides, we’ve seen both Theta and Koschei on screen as kids) but I really like the idea that they changed the Looming process during the War to churn out adults. There’s just so much potential for horror in that to add to all the other atrocities of the War. Toddlers in the bodies of adults, being shoved into battle knowing literally nothing except how to follow orders and pilot a TARDIS. The War-Looms instill basic skills like speech, walking, etc before “birth,” and the Academies rush them through a boot-camp version of temporal studies, then attach them to equally young and ignorant battle-TARDISes and throw them to the Daleks.

quietwingsintheskyoh absolutelywe’ve gotta assume that’s what they didthat there used to be loom limits:you can loom a child up toage fivebecause prior to thatthe same basic template of processespretty much works to cover all of them without issuesome houses go lower but none higherbut once a war is onthat limit is removedthe templates don’t work well any highera five year old adjusting to their unique body is one thinga twenty-one year old anotherthey try to get around this by making the bodies identicalbut it turns out that goes terribly psychologicallyblinovitch psychosis is apparently still realeven when not /technically/ the same beingbut they just try stationing them to different facilitiesso they will never meettens of thousands of functionally identical outpostsof identical staffdoing identical processesso long as they never find out about the others it should be fine
