bonus round 1 fill for team horror!

[laughhardrunfastbekindsblog]

With every rewatch it strikes me even more strongly just how horrific the things the Master puts Nyssa through are:

- Turns her stepmother Kassia (who as far as we are aware was on really good terms with Nyssa originally) against her, before killing Kassia

- Throws the once peaceful world of Traken into chaos

- Murders her father Tremas and takes over his body

- Uses Tremas's appearance to manipulate Nyssa enough to get a control bracelet on her and force her to attack her friends

- In his efforts to take over the universe, he destroys multiple planets, including Nyssa's entire home planet of Traken

- And again, Nyssa has to face him multiple times while he's wearing her father's face

Just... Full respect to Nyssa for facing such tragedies and not losing her kindness, empathy, and calm levelheadedness 🥺❤️

it's tempting to assume that the alien companions of doctor who speak the language of their planet. but much as earth doesn't have a language called "earth," but rather thousands of unique and varied languages, it is logical to assume that, say, alzarius has a whole variety of languages and that adric spoke one of them, not "alzarian". this is precisely what makes the destruction of traken so devastating: it's not the loss of one monolithic culture, one people, it's the loss of countless cultures and people, so many languages and ideas and ways of life. part of the tragedy is its unthinkable enormity, that traken cannot even be wholly remembered because there are elements of it which nyssa, as its sole survivor, never even knew of. that said romana does very much speak gallifreyan and this is for the simple reason that the time lords fucking suck

team five consistently had stunner outfits and adric

I dont think any other doctor could replicate his divorced single mother of 3 swag

I think Nyssa looks like a fairy in her first outfit, so
