you click on the wrong video and end up not on an analysis of the queer history of doctor who, but on someone going on a rant about how doctor who has never been queer and to shove it in now while pretending it always has been is "gaslighting" and "narcissistic" and it's not homophobic to not want doctor who, the show, to be overtly gay, because none of its fans want that
and this is why - quite apart from anything else - we take the terms gaslighting an narcissist and put it on a shelf and then go wash off the grime of that corner of youtube
but also this is why it's being so overt -- it's not to convince queer fans and just... chill fans... who already saw the queer subtext (and uh... text) -- it's to hammer it home to people who will be turned away by it, and also I guess, simply to say, "we're overt now, that's the kind of show we are"
it's not deep but for the part where anything queer text is always pulled apart, and so might as well not beat around the bush. just fuckn. is the doctor gay now? sure. to anyone who didn't already know

have fun with these in the meanwhile
Nightmare -> Moonshine (korean: 밀주/Milju, named by Ttalgi)
eats negativity, revels in negativity, spreads negativity for survival, he is functionally immortal. despite being a shapeshifter, regeneration is especially difficult for him.
Error (still Error, doesnt need a code name <- couldve been Codex though)
hunts down anomalies, allows them to live for entertainment. only destroys aus when he gets bored of them. his destruction involves reading and deleting code.
Saejun -> Ttalgi (korean: 딸기/Strawberry, named by Moonshine)
strongest healer so far, extends to his crops. being near the fields can also regenerate you. doesn't have good offensive magic, but packs a mean punch.
Killer -> Misery (nickname: seri, named by Moonshine)
decent at fighting, has at least two knives on his person at all times. he's very perceptive, predicts opponents' moves instead of reacting. cannot use blue magic or karmic retribution.
Dust -> Ash (korean: 유골/yugol, named himself)
strong magic, highly effective blue magic, quicker karmic retribution. bones can be sharp, or not. does not fight unless absolutely necessary (killing the human).
Horror -> Sanguis (nickname: ver/vermillion, latin: blood, named himself)
retains his blue magic and karmic retribution, but can only use magic at huge bursts for short amounts of time, uncontrollable. prefers to get up close and hit hard.
Cross -> Crux (latin: torture instrument/crucifix, named himself)
has full control of the body, unable to control overwrite very well. capable of decent healing magic. best at fighting, both in terms of magic and melee. does not need weapons.
