Funniest part of the five doctors actually is that there is a paved road in the death zone leading directly to rassilon’s tomb like a tourist trap

Hey--no need to post this, but you're, like, the coolest?? It is utterly nonsensical how talented you are in every conceivable way--or you hide what you're utterly terrible at, which is a talent unto itself. I'd also like to add that having accurate subtitles on most (or all. I haven't checked) of your videos on Youtube is extremely... touching(? I think we're going with touching. I'm touched. You've touched me. Pervert.) as someone who benefits extensively from their use.
Things I am utterly terrible at: dancing, knitting, fast-paced action/strategy video games, playing the flute, accepting genuine compliments. Hiding those is very easy, I just don't do them on camera. Thank you very much.
And as someone who really likes to have subtitles on when I watch videos, I do in fact do my best to have subtitles on as many of my videos as possible. (Any videos without subtitles are either because they're music/instrumental and therefore have no words to subtitle, or because they're older videos and I just... haven't gotten around to subtitling them yet. Whoops.)
#This has made me realize some of my older animatics probably could do with subtitles. thank you#i'll do it when i'm less terribly overworked#but thank you thank you thank you#there's been a bizarre spike of activity on my videos recently and it's always really weird and nice to see people enjoying them

Demographic of people in the Witcher fandom iirc convinced there's such a thing as 'lute oil' which best as I can tell is incorrect

Who is the Prisoner from Dellah? or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Benny Clone
In Dead Romance, what is considered by many to be the best novel written by Lawrence Miles, a young woman by the name of Summerfield who discovers a series of existentially terrifying things about her life –not only is the world that she resides within a pale imitation held within a bottle, but she herself is a pale imitation of someone else. Not only is she a clone made from a “generic human template”, but her memories are of some young blonde woman from within the bottle. Also it’s the end of the world.
So, not a great day to be Christine.
Now Christine Summerfield has some special significance for fans of the Doctor Who Wilderness Years, as she eventually escapes her bottle universe, chooses a name all her own, and makes some very interesting friends. But there's not much we know about that generic human template she was crafted from. So little, in fact, that some were led to believe that she was a clone of Chris Cwej himself (but we won't get into that).
Mr. Christopher 'Rodan's Wedding' Cwej needed to sacrifice three people, three people with minds and hearts and fingers and toes. But he couldn't do it. He couldn't kill real people. Not even real bottle people. So the Homeworld gave him cloning equipment. The same equipment they were using on the outside of the bottle on Simia KK98. And here is where Chris tells us about the sample they've been using for their sacrifices to the All-High Gods. The "Prisoner from Dellah".
So, know very little about this woman, but we certainly know slightly more than nothing from the brief conversation about her.
She is human.
She came from Dellah.
She, at the time she was captured, was a follower of the All-High Gods.
She was on "some kind of mission."
She knew is, at the time of the story, presumed dead.
She knew the "terrible truth" about the Enemy and the bottle universe.
So, let's look at what we know about Bernice Summerfield, at this present moment –starting with the immediately preceding story, The Mary-Sue Extrusion by Dave Stone.
For a start, Bernice Summerfield is a human. Relatively innocuous detail, but we’re working with so few that it bears mentioning.
At the time, Bernice Summerfield was working a job at St. Oscar’s University on Dellah, until St. Oscar’s was destroyed –with Bernice Summerfield presumed dead.
In reality, however, she escaped Dellah and had traveled to the Proximan Chain so as to avoid the overwhelming influence of the All-High Gods –an influence that “preyed on [her] mind and invaded [her] dreams…”.
But she had to return, because there was “something [she] just couldn’t leave behind. Something [she] had to find and save whatever else happened…” Her cat, Wolsey. This is, of course, because Bernice Summerfield has her priorities straight.
Now, Dead Romance takes these similarities head on –asking the question: “Was it really a coincidence that the person who got mixed up in Cwej’s life just happened to have the same surname as one of Cwej’s oldest (and apparently deadest) friends?”
Throughout Dead Romance, two things about Bernice Summerfield are true.
Bernice Summerfield is presumed dead. Moreover, Mr. Cwej is incredibly sullen whenever a possible similarity between Christine and Bernice is raised. Almost as if seeing the face of his dead friend whom he's going to have to kill is depressing or something?
Christine Summerfield feels a very strange connection to Bernice Summerfield.
All that’s really left in the air is whether Bernice Summerfield was aware of the “terrible truth"!
If only there was a story in Dead Romance where Chris talks about his time traveling with the Seventh Doctor and his other companions, ripping through Sphinx Space, and recovering the Bottle...
And if only the Seventh Doctor traveled with Chris Cwej and Bernice Summerfield at the same time at any point... (13 stories to be precise, but I can't put ALL the covers here)
As a sidenote! Apparently there was a universe-in-a-bottle tucked away in a small room near the TARDIS library for quite some time, since at least as early as Christmas on a Rational Planet.
Apparently it contains the events of the TV Movie, but that can't be the Bottle recovered from Sphinx Space. Can it? The bottle that contain's Christine's World can be seen from both inside and outside. Perhaps we're seeing the Bottle Universe containing the Eighth Doctor Adventures from the other side? I digress...
Then, of course, there are the physical appearance things. I don't try and put a lot of stock into these, as physical descriptions in novels are often inconsistent or vague, but I think it's important to document it.
While she may have had the memories of a blonde girl, she herself had "dark hair", "dark eyes", "a wide open gawping mouth, [and] skinny cheeks that were much too narrow for [her] big head." Now I'm not going to say that's a perfect description of Bernice Summerfield (especially given she's meant to be a younger version of her) by any stretch, but I am going to gesture at Lisa Bowerman as Bernice Summerfield back when Dead Romance was released.
For added fuel to the fire, here is Lisa Bowerman at 20 years old.
TL;DR: Christine Summerfield is a human clone of the prisoner from Dellah, with memories imprinted on her from the blonde woman from the universe-in-a-bottle. The Prisoner from Dellah is Bernice Summerfield. Christine Summerfield is a clone of Bernice Summerfield.
P.S. Don't ask me about The Five Christinas.
#long post#fuck okay i'll believe that#i somehow missed the blonde/dark distinction when i read it#i've been picturing eliza/christine as blonde this whole time#but oh NO

In a world of magic and dragons, everyone thought the healers needed to be protected. No offensive magic to speak of how could they protect them selfs? That’s what everyone thought. Until you proved you can actualy heal someone to death…
#i feel like if you bring someone from critically injured to perfectly fine fast enough#the shock of the transition would do them in

Well, it's done. Tomorrow sees the release of the final ever episode of The Game of Rassilon - the Doctor Who RPG actual-play podcast my friends and I have done for five years now. For half a decade, I've gotten to tell some amazing stories with some of my closest friends in the universe. It's been an honor and a joy.
If you listen, I hope you enjoy it. If you don't listen... well, there are 107 episodes. Give it a go. You might enjoy it!
