the thing is, the master doesn’t hate the doctor. The master hates the master. Dhawan is his self hatred era, all his issues are entirely to do with him, 13 didn’t cause Any of this. He just made his issues Her problem (and then consequentially, everybody else’s problem).

In as such, how 13 reacts to him doesn’t matter at all. She could have grabbed some party poppers and made a sign saying how much she loves her best enemy and it would have done nothing more than made it easier for him to wreak havoc.

13 not giving him an inch has absolutely no baring on how this all unfolded. Unless he changes his mode of thinking, nothing will change for him. His sense of superiority for being a time lord was suddenly knocked out from beneath him because actually, no, he was Lied to by the empire when they told him he was special and better because they can do this thing nobody else can do because they’re so advanced and amazing. They’re only that advanced actively because they abused and experimented on a refugee child, basically.

And to top it off, the child is Actually the being he’s closest to in the universe, only one besides himself he cares a whit about. And so, in his twisted logic suddenly 13′s better than him. Because instead of digesting that the empire was wrong to steal and harm and tout itself as the greatest of all when all it did was harm an innocent kid, he actually just decided that that empire was a liar and the real power here lays with the child, AKA The Doctor.

He is not thinking correctly. He viewed the doctor and himself as superior because they’re time lords and that’s Better because they live longer, are stronger, can do more, two hearts... Everything. But now he sees 13 as the Only time lord and therefore the only being worth anything. He thinks he’s worthless. He fails to view peoples worth in relation to their actions, and so ends up doing abhorrent things.

So he tries to literally BE her. He steals her body. Steals those genetics he views as superiority. And when it’s being taken away, he begs not to go back to being Him. Because to him he’s worthless without that small bit of DNA.

The Master’s a wreck, but it’s only tertiarily related to the doctor. Nothing the doctor could do for him would fix his flawed thinking (even if she knew that was what was going on. He’s lied through his teeth about it. Up until this business with the bodysnatching she legitimately thought he viewed her as less than him because of this all).

To improve, he needs to fix his mindset. His self hatred is a product of the bigotry installed upon him on gallifrey, the same bigotry the doctor has had to unlearn. There is Nothing the doctor could have done to fix him, nor is it her job to.

And meanwhile, parallel to this, we have a story where Yaz slowly becomes the doctor as a human through nothing but her actions and choices, to juxtapose the master’s flawed thinking in that the doctor is a scrap of dna and not a set of choices.

This is a tragedy, yes, but one of his own making. The spectre of imperialism ruined him, his inability to remove himself from the imperialist mindset ruined him. The narrative reminder that empires harm all but the emperor. None of this is on 13. This is not something she could have fixed by treating him differently.

#dw shit #dw spoilers #he's a hot Mess but a mess of his own making #he can't escape the privileged mindset #this is all Very well interwoven and i am impressed by how consistent the narrative #anti-imperialism is one of the main themes of this era #i don't think it can be properly assessed without going into it

sometimes researching for avatar redesigns has you 6 layers deep into the Japan's Meiji era allies wiki

#im trying to mess with some of the stuff that feels weird about the ways the fire nation is depicted idk #like i do not feel optically it is good for like them to be so heavily based on japan's imperialist actions #while dressed in clothes that come from places japan colonized #but i dont want it to just be solely japanese though i did draw zuko and azula in hakama but its largely cause i wanted to draw hakama #and like the only place with strong japanese influence being kiyoshi island and my own frustration with the modern day samurai depiction #i think fundamentally it isnt a choice that had as much thought as i am putting in put into it but it does raise an eyebrow for me #anyway i think keeping the thai influence is fine despite the brief invasion japan had into thailand due to thailand then allying with japa #and further allying with the axis due to allying with japan #ugh and ive been told not to think this much about it because its fiction but its also fiction so so so heavily based on real places #and when you base fiction on real cultures you fall into some unintentional pitfalls #i also fucking hate the royal fire nation robes they look so meh and the most costumey out of everything in the show #they look like heavy blankets despite being a supposedly hot nation #theres ways to have heavy robes (heian era japan) but they look like i make them out of fleece and velvet blankets #back to kiyoshi island i think the really only aesthetically japanese reference in the show being an island of noble warriors is lame #plus over done #it feels like nowadays theres a lot of people who get all whiney about people saying fire nation is based off japan #but like dude the creators in the comics and korra like go even more into the japanese influence and clearly it was the original intentions #also i do think you could do some pretty interesting world building by having say there be an older cultural influence on kiyoshi island #from the fire nation especially if the place is established as a central port area then you tie in some okinawan or even hawaiian reference #and gives an explanation that makes sense to why kiyoshi stands out from the rest of the earth kingdom you have long term cultural trading #and it establishes interesting relationships even pre kiyoshi time thereby drawing back onto some real historic references #cause for awhile ryukyu china and japan used to be this trading triangle which could explain some of these various influences going on #i think you can get a really interesting harmony when you create the fire nation out of a mix of japan and thailand #i mean both have these floating buildings due to living on some pretty wet lands and theres harmony in that mix #god i did see one person go like “fire nation is more based on china because theres a lot of red and red is important in china”#my brother in christ red is also important in japan #red is important in like many many asian cultures #i mean of course a lot of that importance stems from china and cultural exchange with china but idk kinda silly to say with your whole ches #like if you want to bring china in then the dragons are the biggest thing like sure some mythos has dragons in japan #but a lot of those comes from china in some way

oh my god, they are making a queen charlotte bridgerton show. and like... why? why can't we just have actual biopic. why can't we have a biopic that shows that this was a woman who didn't take sugar in her tea to support abolition, but was part of an institution that fundamentally profited from slavery? why can't we talk about the joyful young woman who was forced to obey her rigid husband's rules, have 15 children, and could be both kind and cruel. just make a fantasy show. just. make. a. fantasy. show. i am tired.

#netflix queen charlotte #anti-bridgerton #i hate it #history is not simple #history is a hot mess #this is literally the era of william wilberforce #ottobah cugoano #and olaudah equiano #the sons of africa society #but we're not going to talk about abolition #we're just going to pretend that a girl in a pretty dress changed things overnight because magic #thanks netflix #as if persuasion wasn't bad enough

Tears of the Kingdom isn’t the first time we’ve heard the phrase The Imprisoning War in Zelda lore

It’s also the term used in the Downfall Timeline as a precursor to LttP when Ganon was unleashed from the Sacred Realm and the King and the Sages rushed to fight the Demon King and re-seal the Sacred Realm, with no mention of a hero

Could TotK Imprisoning War and the LttP Imprisoning War be one and the same, with specific details being lost to time by the beginning of the game?

#totk spoilers #i’m not going to read any tags or comments on this post until i’ve completed the game #i’ve only found about three or four memories so far and i know this is a completely far-fetched conspiracy but it’s fun to think and theori #totk #and the zelda lore/continuity is a hot mess anyway.#it could be entirely possible that the Imprisoning War took place during the Era of Time directly after the heroes death #(at a young age i stand by the theory that link was sealed by the master sword after it was sent back in time with the knowledge ganondorf #was going to kill him right there in the temple of time after following him to get access to the sacred realm)#and we never got to see the king of hyrule for all we know he could have been a goatman #and icr if the queen was ever mentioned to be canonically dead. and it’s not the first time that nintendo has whitewashed a zelda though #this time it would be retroactively. or it could be set as lore states a long while after the era of time.#it’s never stated who tried to access the scared realm just that people wanted to claim the power there for their own. it could have been a #new ganondorf. and if the kingdom had been completely ruined by the ill-fated fight between the hero and Ganon and the following battle #between himself and the sages; it’s entirely possible that afterwards the zonai could have descended from the clouds to help re-build the #kingdom; and in a fit of morale-boosting refer to it as a founding of a new nation #or maybe not every war has to have a different name and the zelda lore makes no sense #that’s the more likely one imo lol

presenting this without comment because. literally what can you even say to this he’s literally saying the quiet part on national television
