Just going to yeet nonsense into the void so it stops taking up room in my head:
12 remembers Clara at the end of his life, is overcome by such a strong impression (around 2 and a half series) of girlboss energy that he returns to what is best described as earliest known (in-universe) settings. There's possibly thoughts about Missy there too.
13 can be very inconsistent in opinions, I like that she genuinely seems to hate the Master though. Other New Who doctors were all, "Noooo..... you were my best friend, you can be good!" This is good, but 13 thinks the one version of the Master she had gotten through to just ran away and abandoned her.
Throw in a Master who's seemingly regressed to all-out mania as a coping mechanism after getting hurt as Missy, and their dynamic makes more sense.
The comment regarding de-cloaking the Master around the Nazis was still seriously fucked up. I genuinely wonder what the writers of that era were on half the time.
Flux was pretty fun, though.
A Bob be a crabbe wiรพ raised claws and it comes in manye colours, though there be also a srympe or, be it tempyrate, a manne.

Spread their names!
Thank you to everyone who got me to 50 likes!
It ain't much, but it... yeah, I'll probably do something for 100. Thanks anyway, this is pretty cool.
Can confirm, turning to dust takes less time than you might think. Unfortunately little of the post-mortem is spent as a fun calcium creature.
magical girl transformation but i just rapidly go through the 5 stages of decomposition
ok so hear me out
When it comes to artistic personification of the deadly sins, Lust is usually the ONLY ONE ever designed to be the OBJECT of the sin rather than the sinner. Greed? They tend to design some one who LOOKS greedy. Sloth? Lazy person. A lot of these design choices kinda reveal how the creator views people in general (wow you made Gluttony or Greed fat, how original, so groundbreaking) but LUST? Lust is usually justโฆ a hot chick. Who makes OTHERS lust but she herself often isn't running around acting inappropriately horny or anything. She's just kinda there. Maybe a bit flirty but otherwise the whole intent is to make the AUDIENCE feel attraction and that's how they associate it with lust. The Greed character won't make the viewer feel greedy but by god with Lust this is all we GOT. (Before you ask, I only half-count the FMA versions of these characters since they had these names but their origins were more complicated than Being Literal Sins)
I want all or nothin' here. Make the personifications ALL like Lust, maybe! Make it so their designs are only hinting at these things but the MAIN THING they can do is make OTHERS feel these things. Greed? He's a crypto guy who can manipulate people into screwing over others for easy cash. Sloth? The dude commenting "lol who cares, no one cares, just chill" at even the most horrible tragedies in the news (We can also change this one to Apathy and throw THAT deadly sin in, I just like that concept as a sin), make Wrath a reactionary podcaster or something. Make them make OTHERS sin.
Or, go the other way, and have them all LOOK like the sinners, and include Lust IN THAT. Just design some gooner who hasn't seen a real woman in six weeks and comments on every selfie they see online judging them for not looking like an anime waifu.
COMMIT TO THE BIT, PEOPLE, this mixed-up message is WEAK
I like to tell my brother what's going on in Aurora and after these last couple pages he said "when you have this much hubris and hate yourself this much I can only say not everything is about you"
It's such a shame too, the original version was a human-like group who had to change themselves into these cybernetic monsters just to survive. They wanted to convert humans as a mercy.
I feel like there's something valuable in the Moffat era in how often they independently crop up, and in the classic era for being able to see just a little bit of the actor.
Maybe there could be some kind of transhumanist story, where people actively become cybermen in an experiment to circumvent the need to terraform a planet so they can go out and collect resources on a struggling colony. It could have been going well for a while. These cybermen could have names, like the original, and eventually people decide to undergo conversion to reduce the resources needed to get by. Or the cybermen, seeing their people continuing to suffer, decide to remove that suffering by force.
IDK, just thought it'd be an interesting story idea.
the concept of the cybermen is magnificent. it's creepy. it's disturbing. it's the terror of undeath and the horror of coming back wrong. it's the endless march of capitalism, it's the commodification of disability aids, it's the ceaseless machinations of time. it's monopolisation. it's euthanasia as a substitute for healthcare. it's a lot of things. unfortunately many cyberman appearances can be boiled down to "scary army of robots invades" and frankly if i wanted to watch fiction about a robot and not the cybermen i'd just put on, well, robot.
