#a victoria is a horse

a victoria is a horse.

thinking about prey animal instinct victoria again.... biting and kicking and screaming and drawing blood just to stay alive. thrashing around like a cornered bird. she's so much more frightened than anyone else around her and that makes her capable of so much more violence

No, Doctor, I don’t care about your rules or your bloody survivor’s guilt. If you love me in any way you’ll come back.

on the other hand i think it would be very easy for victoria to tip /into/ liking it, that instinct to lash out. especially towards the end, when she's so tired, and the whole universe feels incomprehensibly, overwhelmingly frightening. she's so powerless against it, being thrown from monster to monster, terror to terror. and it would be so, so easy for something to whisper in her ear and tell her that she never has to be frightened again, as long as she's stronger. as long as she always strikes first. she's desperate. wouldn't it feel good, to feel like she's in control? wouldn't it be a relief, to know she can keep herself safe?

and yes, maybe it chips away at her humanity a little more - but what does that matter, when she already feels like she has so little of it left?

like i think fundamentally victoria is a very kind person. in her ideal world, she'd approach everything with the benefit of the doubt, and be able to solve everything through words rather than actions. but she's a terrified, traumatised teenager who is so often so far out of her depth. of course she's going to lash out first and ask questions later sometimes, even when she shouldn't. the fact that she hates it doesn't mean she's any less capable of it.

"So what you're saying is that there weren't any 'time ladies' before YOU, a red pilled alpha like myself, invented time travel. When would you say women started to forget their place in Gallifreyan society?"

"Please put me back."

the ranis needed a reality that would break. they needed it thin and weak, a reality that would not hold up to the slightest bit of scrutiny. so they chose a right-wing populist’s fantasy. amazing
