Doctor Who and its expanded universe could do a dozen dozen plotlines that ask "can a Dalek turn traitor/be redeemed/be good" and I would go absolutely insane for it each and every time.
#i listened to echoes of war at a formative time and never actually recovered from it
#that one seven and ace story in the 13 doctors/13 stories anthology.... OUGFHJFNJJNDIJJDJJHHJHH
#hashtag things that make me critically insane
#Lu rambles
#doctor who
#dw
#like... is there really anything physically and tangibly that dictates them as incapable of goodness???
#like yes they're partly robotic yes canonically the casings can't conceptualize friends or kindness
#but clara forced hers to cry mercy. it's possible even with those casings. it's POSSIBLE
#and they ARE just that it's just a SHELL there's a real living creature in there
#and if it's alive and sentient no matter how many generations upon generations of evil have been done
#shouldn't there be a chance for redemption???
#the narrative demands that the only time a dalek can even seem to be good is when catastrophically injured
#because the legacy of doctor who is doctor(+ companions) are good VERSUS daleks are evil
#and that's a hard hard legacy to change that's a hard concept to reckon with
#both for the audience who sees daleks and thinks ''unequivocally unchangeably evil'' and also for the Doctor
#there's something intensely meta about the insistence that despite being sentient beings daleks are incapable of change
#that seven and ace short story sent them to an entire alternate universe where daleks were TRULY good!!!!!!
#but it couldn't last because the narrative of doctor who doesn't allow for that. even ace questions it though even the Doctor does
#like.... IS there hope?????? I'd like to think there is. look at Jubilee - the Dalek imprinted on evelyn!!! imprinted on her!!!!!
#there was a chance!!!!!!! i am going insane!!!!!!
#I'm editing to add these tags on so i can rb with them later akfhskjfskjfskej i just. yeah. the concept gets to me
#meta finding tag
