did...did ruby allow a girl to be assaulted so she could decide whether the guy who wanted to launch a nuclear attack was actually that evil?

#like is that what was being implied with marti? because that's what i was getting which is so dark for doctor who #what are you doing ruby #another 'oooh i love the vibes of this' first half of an episode only for the rest to fall off a cliff #also i never really understood why he wanted to launch a nuclear attack or even on who #and i don't believe that was kate stewart at all who was that #millie was fab though glad she got some time to shine #doctor who spoilers #dw spoilers

there is a perception filter on the old woman. people see her, but they don't really notice her. they don't see what's wrong about her.

until ruby points her out. ruby says "look at her. do you see that woman?" and they do. the perception filter falls away.

and the woman says "look at her. do you see that woman?" and they look at ruby, and the perception filter is gone. and they see her for what she truly is.

and it's beyond their brain's ability to comprehend.

#idkkkkkk #still hung up on maestro calling ruby a creature #WHAT IS SHE if it's so horrifying that no human brain can comprehend it #also explains why all of unit's psychic training was useless against it #psychic training doesnt prevenr you from perceiving the truth it's meant to do the opposite of that #dw theory #ndw.2 #dw #dw spoilers #doctor who spoilers #73 yards #lavender thoughts

> new series release (space babies) coincided with the uk seeing the northern lights for the first time in years

> the devil’s chord coincided with paul mccartney’s long-missing hofner bass guitar being found, by a doctor who fan no less

> boom coincided with an actual meteor crash

> 73 yards is coinciding with a rise in bizarre supposedly-occult animal sacrifice rituals in britain (the folk horror part) and rishi sunak finally calling a general election (the political drama part)

> hypothesis: russell t davies has somehow managed to tune in to the universe’s divine frequency ??

> conclusion: messing with the forces of fate, cause&effect and coincidence, even if it’s for the pop culture franchise you’re showrunning, actually turns it into an egregore, but only if it’s been going for long enough (sixty fucking years to the dot) and watched by enough people (tens of millions). which it has

> ergo, postscriptum: television magick is real and is being unintentionally performed by the creators + audience of the world’s silliest science fiction show

> /jk. unless?

Gotta say love (sarcasm) the episode being soooooo loud about "oh that's a bit ableist Ruby!" "People always forget the disabled!" (All fine, albiet aggressively on the nose)

While also saying "you don't look disabled" to Ruby... Who we just established 3 episodes ago has long term PTSD from travelling with the Doctor...

And I dunno! I just think Russel shoulda thought about that zinger a bit more! Even disregarding Ruby's probable disability, as someone with an invisible disability it felt like a slap in the face.

Don't get me wrong! That kind of dissonance is fine to write! Great with nuance even! But it reads kind of silly when you're going sooooo hard on the surface level progressive language and disabled people sticking together narrative

#genuinely took me out of the episode because what the fuck do you mean shirley??? we've already established you got all sorts here #do they need a sunflower lanyard to count?#doctor who #dw spoilers #wish world #ruby sunday #dw negativity #doctor who negativity #rtd critical #dw critical #i KNOOOOOOW its a nitpick #but it pissed me offfff

#mrs flood who are you: time lord edition

#dwedit #doctor who #mrs flood #fifteenth doctor #the master #jacobi!master #tenth doctor #jack harkness #martha jones #twelfth doctor #ninth doctor #*#okay here is my argument: mrs flood IS a time lord but her presence here has nothing to do with the doctor #instead she's here because of ruby. she's seemingly part of/related to the pantheon of discord & we know that ruby is connected to them too #so i think that she was deliberately placed as ruby's neighbor by the pantheon/oldest one/ruby's mom/? in order to watch over her #it also explains why she was there to check on ruby in 1.04. once she realizes she's on the phone w carla she says 'nothing to do with me'#and she leaves. which implies that it COULD have had something to do with her. if it had been something else going on #ANYWAY. to get to the time lordness of it all. rn i personally believe that she's a time lord that's been hiding on earth for 50+ years #bc i don't think she recognized the police box as a tardis initially. that first quote should be taken at face value.#instead picture this: she's watching over ruby as per usual. a police box is there - weird but nbd. then it dematerializes in front of her.#she drops her groceries. she's shocked. she kinda looks scared. if she already knew it was a tardis why would she react like that?#so imo she knows OF tardises. she DIDN'T know the police box was one. and she's worried the time lords have found her hence the fear.#but when nothing happens and nobody comes at her she realizes she's still safe #later when she sees the doctor she realizes the tardis is his/he must be a time lord. he doesn't identify her but that's happened before #so then when she asks him who he is i think what she's actually asking for is his title. WHICH time lord are you.#bc lbr if she knows abt tardises then she knows about time lords and if she knows abt time lords she knows what it means for ruby #to be joining him - and that's why she wishes ruby good luck. meanwhile this is clearly the outcome she WANTS (them to be together)#bc she gets visibly upset when the doctor seems to decide to leave without ruby.#and for once i'm not master clowning bc the list of names the doctor gives out is VERY interesting. some of them we've never heard before:#the bishop; the conquistador; later he adds the pedant and sagi-shi and reiterates the bishop AGAIN. so i wonder if she's the bishop.....

"but Pyramids of Mars established that Sut-" my friend this is the three-separate-explanations-for-Atlantis show, as far as I'm concerned they can have a free-for-all when it comes to real-world mythology

"but they're ruining the canon!!" buddy I got good news for you, Doctor Who canon is a buffet and you don't have to eat anything you don't want to

#to be clear this is NOT about disliking whatever they're doing with Sutekh #I'm going to try and watch Pyramids of Mars this week and I may hate the direction they choose to go in in the finale! who knows!#I wasn't a fan of a bunch of the choices they made for the Toymaker (though that is slightly different in that it's not a real world myth)#but there's a specific type of comment I've been seeing mostly in youtube comments which. yeah dead dove etc #but people getting worked up over the One True Canon is like. you know what show this is right??#I personally choose to ignore the buffet dish that is the First Doctor in Twice Upon A Time #anyway peace and love #the legend of ruby sunday #the empire of death #pyramids of mars #doctor who #dw spoilers #ramblings

I actually think Dorian and Orym should fight more.

Remember when their slowly building tension over and entire episode (full of passive aggressive remarks and blame throwing) led to threats? And how after, Orym thanked Dorian for handing over the crown sadly because he knew Dorian would be mad at him? And Dorian couldn't even look at him because he was legitimately hurt, thinking Orym was disappointed in him for doing what he thought was right? That was peak.

The fact they went from that to their current closeness and trust is the best part of their entire dynamic. Their relationship was hard fought and still will be. They will fight for it because they respect and care for one another deeply, and their disagreements don't change that, only improve it.
