analysis and theory with soul: doctor who 60th anniversary special trailer

"i've got a memory. after a very long time, something's coming back."

i think by this the doctor means the toymaker. the last official encounters between the toymaker and the doctor were in a comic during twelve, however i'm not exactly sure if that is the long time ago which he mentions, since the comics usually have little to no relevance to the televised canon. the last time we physically see the toymaker is during william hartnell's tenure as the first doctor, which explains the very long time (a minimum of 1715 ago years for him! possibly a lot more)

this thing. this furry little thing. i have a feeling that he will be a great cause of annoyance for a lot of the characters in the special and i thank him for it. look at his face. he's allowed to do whatever he wants.

anyways, i think that the toymaker may be after him, for whatever reason. perhaps he has a special power (kind of looks like the hybrid child of a house-elf and demiguise from harry potter— teleportation and future-telling? omg it's a tardis—)

i also maybe have a theory that the rocket which we can see in the trailer is what he arrived in. in the teaser, we can see it (and it looks like something the thing would arrive in) and we can see rose walking towards it. scared, he was carried back to the house in a shed by rose who wanted to help (the box in the teaser), and then she went a got her mum because she had no idea what to do next. however, thing successfully ran away when the external forces began to attack donna's house. rose went after it, and found it there next to the trash, finally getting an answer as to what he is scared of. this being the monsters, or the toymaker's creations.

these being the monsters, sent by the toymaker to collect it. however, the human government seems to also be aware of the thing, and has sent its own forces to go get it. while donna's mum and the doctor are having their little fistfight indoors, maybe-unit and these roach-like things they seem to be getting it on outside.

next point of interest: i think this shot comes first in this specific selection of moments. they seemed to have landed somewhere, with an obviously different lighting than the shots below, so perhaps this is the exterior portion of their environment, (maybe even physically outside) and they're trying to get in through the door behind them, which donna so badassly pushes the button to get through too

they seem to be after something, after something so inexplicably bad which has made the TARDIS run away out of fear, leaving them stranded wherever they are, which is probably the location of the thing they're after. furthermore, throughout the trailer it seems that the TARDIS has been malfunctioning for some reason (having to be carried away by helicopter, this). i think this very bad thing is the reason for both the doctor's distress in the following shots and donna's surrender in those after that.

what i think this place may be is the toymaker's new toyroom. there have been multiple instances of the toyroom breaking, and if we go back to the comic toymaker he was last seen: "a lonely god, drifting through time and space in his magical toy box". (a nice note to the doctor too) we don't know what happened to the toymaker's toyroom, and we don't know how big it can get. the last time the TARDIS was in the toyroom, it was given to the toymaker for an advantage to the doctor. maybe she doesn't want to go through that again, or maybe theres something else coming.

but can we take a moment to appreciate donna's absolute slay in this scene? "something so bad the tardis ran away? then. we go. and kick it's arse!"

i don't like it how these two shots appear to be in the same scene. i really don't like it. i very much really don't like it. it's pretty obvious— same clothing, same lighting, perhaps not in sequence but probably in the same general part of the special.

there is something which has made the doctor Devastated, capital d. and i don't like it. because we've seen that grief usually, rather than causing a temperamental explosion from the doctor with screaming and crying, he becomes resigned, maybe shedding tears but quiet, curling up into himself as if he wished he could collapse like a dying star.

but here he's visibly very upset. "why does it have to be like [this]". maybe its a reflection of his frustration with donna's condition— she can't remember him or else she dies, and maybe prior to this scene something related to that has happened, causing something else to happen to her. OR MAYBE, he's being more generally reflective, angry as to why everyone he holds dear suffers at one point or another, usually because of him.

these thoughts stem from this other shot, which seems to take place in the same general location (background + lighting) and maybe even in the same scene, before the shots above. something is in front of her, and she is scared— a robot? the toymaker? it must be an aggressive object, as she raises her hands in surrender.

additional notes:

the following words will be chaotic and difficult to understand or interpret: OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD WHY IS THE TRAILER SO GOOD OH MY GOD THEY DID IT SO PERFECTLY AND THEY HAD THE DRAMATIC MUSIC AND DEAR ME DONNA NOBLE HONEY LIGHT OF MY LIFE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOU ARE YOU ARLIGHT IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOU I WILL EAT MY HAT I WANT TO CRY OMG NOVEMBER CAN'T COME FAST ENOUGH AAAAAAAAAAAH

Hellaverse Theories: Helluva Boss S2E3

Welcome to Quilly’s Hellaverse Theories, where I overthink the entire Hellaverse! Second on this freight train I’m trying to keep rolling for tonight is a VERY good episode, Exes and Oohs! Not as much to chew on here as far as predicting future episodes and character arcs goes, but good at filling in some very disturbing gaps for Moxxie, so let’s go! (Spoiler alert: last one for tonight, I take way too long even when there's not as much theorizing to be done.)

S2E3, coming in hot!

Oooh, great, starting off strong with the fat jokes again. And reminding us that Moxxie is desperately insecure. Wheeeeee.

…why does Blitzo have a stone bust of himself?

Y’know what, stupid question, I rescind that.

Also, I wish more than anything that we got clear shots of the whiteboard, because of COURSE I want to know the Secret Lore of Blitzo’s horse OCs. Because I just paused before the helicopter rips their wall out and a corner of the whiteboard says “ALL ARE TRANS <3” and I kind of love that actually. GIVE US THE LORE SPINDLEHORSE.

I love that this episode gives us some information that’s either plotholes that the creation team very neatly sidesteps with a lucky technicality, or else was planned from the beginning and they gave themselves those technicalities for when folks brought it up. Moxxie says he was born in Wrath. Animation team says: he was! But he grew up in Greed! Which. Okay. Either y’all forgot you had him from Wrath (and had Fizzarolli introduce him as a little imp from the Wrath ring at Ozzie’s), or this really has been planned from the beginning and Moxxie is a hair away from being a liar. Which. Given his dad. I don’t blame him for that at all, actually.

(King Slut the Horse OC is bisexual, versatile, AND transphobic?? Despite also being trans?? The NERVE.)

How often do you think porn falls from the sky in Hell? Bc my bet would be Often.

So there’s loan sharks in Helluva Boss and in Hazbin Hotel. However, the sharks in HB are Hellborn and have horns, and the sharks in HH are sinners with no horns. There are sinners with horns, unfortunately, but do you know how much it would help my ability to tell sinners and Hellborn in Pride apart pre-bleeding if sinners just didn’t get horns????

So according to the wiki, imps originate from Wrath because they were created by Satan, but these Greed imps look pretty different in the horn region; the male banding isn’t as prominent (ALL ARE TRANS???), and a lot of them look the same but I think that’s just animation shortcuts. But it does open up an interesting discussion: Hellborn can interbreed, it seems, and imps can be found in just about every corner of Hell, but is there some divergent evolutionary traits from ring to ring? Especially when imps start breeding with other Hellborn demons? (…sidenote, but can hellhounds breed with anyone but hellhounds? Because that’s one hybrid I haven’t really noticed and I’m curious now.) (Yes I am now thinking about furry sharks shut up)

And here we get to meet Crimson, who either has very interesting eye scarring or very cool eye tattoos. Could go either way, in his line of work.

Do y’all think Moxxie and Millie eloped? Since we find out later this episode that Blitzo knew Moxxie after he adopted Loona but before they founded IMP (and presumably knew Millie afterwards, but it’s possible Blitzo could have known her before and gotten in touch when he had a job for her; we’ll hopefully find out later this season!!), but he doesn’t really remember their anniversary despite it only being one year ago, it makes me think Blitzo wasn’t there. And when Millie introduces Moxxie to her family it’s “you remember my husband,” as if they’d only met maybe once or twice before. And obviously Moxxie didn’t have any of his family members present. So. Did they have ANYONE there? Or just the two of them and the registrar? Bigger question: how common is bigamy in Hell???

The looks Crimson gets on his face when he’s faced with Blitzo and Millie’s separate aggression episodes really makes me laugh. Like. Wow he really had a script for how this was gonna go and they are not following it, huh?

…so Chaz. He exists. And provides some very funny comic relief, don’t get me wrong, but HECK he’s awful XD Also makes me curious about Millie’s backstory, which I am SURE WE ARE GETTING AT SOME POINT, because I doubt Chaz spent any time in Wrath and we know Millie left Wrath and was doing some sort of work before IMP (additional question: y’all think maybe Millie left Wrath because her violent skillset wasn’t as valuable there? More common among the neighbors, less high clientele willing to pay for bodyguarding or assassination?).

“Are you fucking kidding me? There’s someone who’s fucked BOTH of you?” And I’m sure we all heard the unspoken “AND IT ISN’T ME???” at the end of that sentence, Blitzo :P He has some wires crossed up there (down there?), but even his willingness to sleep with Chaz just to get that much closer to Moxxie and Millie is sweet, in the right light. The right, very, very generous light.

“Something about him that was magnetic” it’s the repression, Moxxie. Yours specifically.

HA Chaz’s painting of nude Moxxie has an arrow pointing to his junk and says “smaller than mine” WHY IS THAT FUNNY (hang on distracted by the cute little heart-shaped loops in Moxxie’s sock garters, please tell me that’s still part of his wardrobe). Also…yeah, at least as of five-ish years ago, Moxxie has no scars. That is very impressive, actually. MOXXIE IS GOOD AT HIS JOB OKAY.

Kinda hate how Chaz’s first reaction was to try and help, but once the gunshots started…nah. It turned out for the absolute best, got Moxxie out from under his dad and working with Blitzo instead (and eventually with Millie), but poor Moxxie. With his sad puppy sounds. I saw a theory somewhere that Millie is the one “babysitting” Loona (oh my WORD Blitzo she’s an adult you can’t just hire a babysitter for an adult—) and tbh I kinda like it; I’d always assumed Blitzo met Moxxie first but now I’m really starting to think that he met Millie first, actually. Also, the way Moxxie is heartbroken but he’s absolutely grinning at Blitzo like he’s the best thing Moxxie has ever seen—I love it and I want to cry. The friendship is so mutual.

So much of this episode wouldn’t have happened if Millie got to kill Chaz here, but it would have been SO FUNNY to see Crimson’s reaction. They should have let her do it.

The way Blitzo is keeping an eye on Moxxie here, though—Millie is keeping her sights on the threat, and of course she’s aware of Moxxie’s discomfort, but the way Blitzo is slowly putting the pieces together on his own is fabulous. Love how intelligent he is, despite how he can’t exit cars or windows without going face-first.

(…y’think that’s why Stolas is gonna teleport Blitzo outside in Full Moon? Both to get him out of that space quickly, and to make sure he goes safely? Probably not but I’m gonna cling to it anyway.)

Y’know. Crimson is very committed to the whole fish aesthetic. The plants in the house are coral, there are shark teeth everywhere, the motifs on the wallpaper are fish bones and kinda crab-shaped in places. Why???

…the Homestuck in me is seeing the hook through the tail of one of Crimson’s goons and it’s shaped JUST RIGHT to make me go “Kanaya??? Where is she????”

No, really, though, how did Chaz managed to pull one over on CRIMSON with a rented suit and a shitty car? You don’t stay a mafia don in Greed without being intelligent, I assume, and viciously so. However. The answer may be simpler than I thought when I first started typing: Chaz would be the perfect candidate to get Moxxie back into line, as far as Crimson is aware. Doesn’t matter if Chaz actually has money or not, because the goal is Moxxie’s compliance. He’s been gone for around five years, almost right after he was inducted into the family, and if Moxxie’s skills have grown since then, I can only imagine what they used to be (when he isn’t…y’know…fumbling grenades and panicking). Moxxie’s utility is less important than his relationship to Crimson and Crimson’s need to have every aspect of his life firmly in his control, however. If it was really about the money, Crimson could have married Chaz and then killed him to inherit it. Not that he would, since he’s a homophobic asswipe on top of being a controlling abusive father, but he COULD, if having Moxxie back wasn’t also so important.

(I love how Blitzo swaps it around to “horseless friend-fucker” because IT’S EVEN MORE TRUE)

The fact that Moxxie still has HOLDINGS in the organization…I wonder if Moxxie even knew that? Pretty sure he did. Pretty sure he might even care a little bit, if he can be outraged that Chaz is being brought into the family on a whim (not knowing about the marriage bit yet, of course). Looking at a post-IMP future, Moxxie replacing Crimson as a mob boss might be a pretty badass future for him, so long as he still has Millie and the ability to live his life how he wants.

The way Moxxie reacts…has Crimson ever hit him before? Somehow, I don’t think he has. I don’t think he NEEDED to; Moxxie was already plenty scared of him. Threats worked. Moxxie probably never stepped a toe out of line before he got arrested and then just never came back.

There is something so screamingly funny about a homophobic mob boss who is so desperate to have his son back under his thumb that not only does he manipulate the kid’s boss into showing up with said kid and kid’s wife in tow, not only does he kidnap his kid when stuff doesn’t go his way, but he ACTIVELY AND WILLINGLY places FUCKING DILDOS ALL THROUGHOUT HIS HOUSE AND YARD. Who does that? WHO DOES THAT??? WHY DOES HE DO THAT? THAT IS SUCH A STEP TOO FAR THAT HE DID NOT NEED TO DO AND IT IS SO FUNNY. (And so performative, too—not actually supportive, just aggressively seeming that way in a way that’s still really threatening.)

(I’m also only slightly disappointed that dicks in Hell are the same as dicks on Earth. Can’t all be tentabulges and nooks, I suppose :P)

Okay, and here’s the bit where so many people—even me at first—thought Moxxie was forced to kill his own mother. He isn’t, but I understand why people think that. Moxxie’s parents fight, Crimson shoves Mom in a closet of some kind (or just out of the room? Hard to say, but it looks like he’s locking her away), there’s a scene of Moxxie and Crimson alone at the dinner table, and then the boat scene. But even if you ignore that the tail pattern and horn pattern and height of the imp in the boat with Moxxie and Crimson is all wrong—and I WILL be posting screenshots bc I’m tired of arguing this—if Moxxie had killed his mother, there wouldn’t have been a separating scene of dinner without Mom to break up the action between Crimson fighting with her, and Moxxie helping with his first kill on the boat. Moxxie didn’t kill his mom. Crimson killed Moxxie’s mom. And then once her meddling and keeping Moxxie out of Crimson’s early training was over, Crimson took Moxxie to the place where he dumped her body and let Moxxie see Crimson’s handiwork. Which is still dark as fuck, but not as dark as Moxxie as a child being forced to kill his mother that he loved. We can all rest easy that at least Moxxie isn’t as fucked up as Blitzo :P

Moxxie’s mom’s horn and tail patterns (make sure to tap to view them to get the full picture):

The victim’s horn and tail patterns (same, get the full view):

Hhhhhgk Moxxie and Millie are so soft for each other and it makes me so weak. Not only that, but there’s such genuine TRUST there, which is so…stupidly refreshing, still, for an adult comedy show.

(The amount of times I’ve gotten Chaz’s stupid song stuck in my head should be a crime, actually. I am COMPLAINING.)

Moxxie crying so silently, though—pretty sure he learned that way too young and it hurts me.

Despite all that’s happening, though, Moxxie finding his backbone is highly gratifying, especially knowing how insecure and whiny he can be in the office at IMP. But just like Blitzo, when it matters, he digs down and finds a steel core and sets the rest of his bullshit aside to get the job done. It’s why they’re so in sync, why Blitzo says he’s hard on Moxxie but the two of them fight together really well when the chips are down. Also why I kinda think Blitzo might give Moxxie the company if he ever decides to retire, but eh. He’d probably give it to Moxxie and Millie both because they’re truly the best team-up.

(How upsetting is it to try and go to sleep with your shitty ex and your boss boning loudly on the other side of the wall though)

Using “down to clown” to BLITZO, though. The former clown. What the fuck. WHAT the fuck.

And despite Blitzo absolutely doing the sleazy thing and sleeping with Chaz…he’s also on the clock, just a bit. (Also also, knowing that bone motifs are a Mammon thing feels weird, but it does make me cackle to see the bone suit look showing up in s2.5 on Mammon himself.) And Blitzo spending the rest of the episode in his undies and in Chaz’s coat isn’t hot and at some times cute, shut up. (Not because it’s Chaz’s, but because it’s so massive on him.) AND THE FACT THAT CHAZ WROTE IT THE FUCK DOWN. IDIOT. But he DID get the drop on Blitzo, so maybe he’s not quite that stupid.

(The silent argument Chaz and Crimson have about which side of the table to be on. Just wonderful little details that I love about this show.)

It is CRIMINAL, in fact, that Moxxie gives such a good speech and threat, and then gets tasered and duct taped into submission. Listen. LISTEN. You’ll pry Millie’s incoming badassery out of my cold dead hands. But I hope sometime soon Moxxie gets to fuck up Crimson’s whole day on his own. Because he DESERVES IT.

The fact that the priest just doesn’t know what’s going on but is very suspicious of it. Good on you, Father Jaws or whatever your name is.

Blitzo flipping through radio stations BEFORE he puts his seat belt on. Too relatable. ALSO: all of the Helluva Boss music needs to be put somewhere where I can buy it, and if this Crashing a Fucking Wedding song isn’t on it, it will be WORTHLESS to me. I love this song so much.

“Buckle up, Millie! We’re doing a Shrek!” HOW TO TELL YOUR SHOW WAS MADE BY MILLENNIALS.

Ripping a person’s heart out with her teeth is the hottest thing Millie has ever done and it’s a CRIME her back was to the wedding altar when she did it. Also using Blitzo as a knife. Just. I love this scene so much. So bloody and violent, which normally isn’t my thing, but it feels so damn cathartic. Just. BEAUTIFUL.

Blitzo’s happy little dragon clown face when he hugs Moxxie and Millie is so symmetrically pleasing to my eyes. I don’t know why I like it so much. But it’s the same shape of his face when he leaps out of the water possessed in the Ghostfuckers part of the s2.5 trailer so BUCKLE UP ME I GUESS

I love that Crimson is going to be a recurring problem, but I am actually kinda sad Chaz won’t be.

Alright! That was fun! But the next episode is Western Energy, and it’s late, so gonna save that one for tomorrow and get fresh eyes on it. Because hOLY HELL.

band t-shirts I realised I have:

- 2x within temptation, 1 from a show (resist) and 1 as a present (the heart of everything)

- 1x ice nine kills (funeral derangements)

- 1x muse (the resistance)

- 2x the birthday massacre (walking with strangers - one was a replacement when I thought the other was missing and the original is sorta peeling anyway and at my parents' house)

- 1x green day (american idiot)

- 1x paramore (general colourful logo)

- 2x linkin park (minutes to midnight and gold 20th anniversary hybrid theory)

what kind of band clothes do other people have?? I'm really interested!!

#used to have a nickelback t-shirt a while back #but i got rid of it because it eventually just didn't look right #and i couldn't get used to it anymore #weird shaping of the collar #music #clothes #favourite music #fashion #positivity

Pertinent quotes from the 40th anniversary edition The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins that I found necessary to dog-ear in my book:

“In its long journey down the generations therefore, an average gene will spend approximately half its time sitting in male bodies, and the other half sitting in female bodies. Some gene effects show themselves only in bodies of one sex. These are called sex-limited gene effects. A gene controlling penis-length expresses this effect only in male bodies, but it is carried about in female bodies too and may have some quite different effect on female bodies. There is no reason why a man should not inherit a tendency to develop a long penis from his mother.” (p. 189)

“Another common sexual difference is that females are more fussy than males about whom they mate with. One of the reasons for fussiness by an individual of either sex is the need to avoid mating with a member of another species. Such hybridizations are a bad thing for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, as in the case of a man copulating with a sheep, the copulation does not lead to an embryo being formed, so not much is lost.” (p. 211-12)

“A zero sum game is one in which a win for one player is a loss for the other. Chess is zero sum, because the aim of each player is to win, and this means to make the other player lose. Prisoner’s Dilemma, however, is a nonzero sum game. There is a banker paying out money, and it is possible for the two players to link arms and laugh all the way to the bank. This talk of laughing all the way to the bank reminds me of a delightful line from Shakespeare: The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers. 2 Henry VI In what are called civil ‘disputes’ there is often in fact great scope for cooperation. What looks like zero sum confrontation can, with a little goodwill, be transformed into a mutually beneficial nonzero sum game.” (p.285)

“The two phenomena, bottlenecked life cycles and discrete organisms, go hand in hand. As each evolves, it reinforces the other. The two are mutually enhancing, like the spiralling feelings of a woman and a man during the progress of a love affair.” (p. 341)

“First, a theory about why humans have lost the penis bone. An erect human penis can be so hard and stiff that people jokingly express scepticism that there is no bone inside. As a matter of fact lots of mammals do have a stiffening bone, the baculum or os penis, to help the erection along. What’s more, it is common among our relatives the primates; even our closest cousin the chimpanzee has one, although admittedly a very tiny one which may be on its evolutionary way out. There seems to have been a tendency to reduce the os penis in the primates; our species, along with a couple of monkey species, lost it completely. So, we have got rid of the bone that in our ancestors presumably made it easy to have a nice stiff penis. Instead, we rely entirely on a hydraulic pumping system, which one cannot but feel is a costly and roundabout way of doing things. And, notoriously, erection can fail – unfortunate, to say the least, for the genetic success of a male in the wild. What is the obvious remedy? A bone in the penis, of course. So why don’t we evolve one? For once, biologists of the ‘genetic constraints’ brigade cannot cop out with, ‘Oh, the necessary variation just couldn’t arise’. Until recently our ancestors had precisely such a bone and we have actually gone out of our way to lose it! Why? Erection in humans is accomplished purely by pressure of blood. It is unfortunately not plausible to suggest that erection hardness is the equivalent of a doctor’s blood pressure meter used by females to gauge male health. But we are not tied to the metaphor of the blood pressure meter. If, for whatever reason, erection failure is a sensitive early warning of certain kinds of ill health, physical or mental, a version of the theory can work. All that females need is a dependable tool for diagnosis. Doctors don’t use an erection test in routine health checkups – they prefer to ask you to stick out your tongue. But erection failure is a known early warning of diabetes and certain neurological diseases. Far more commonly it results from psychological factors – depression, anxiety, stress, overwork, loss of confidence and all that. (In nature, one might imagine males low in the ‘peck order’ being afflicted in this way. Some monkeys use the erect penis as a threat signal.) It is not implausible that, with natural selection refining their diagnostic skills, females could glean all sorts of clues about a male’s health, and the robustness of his ability to cope with stress, from the tone and bearing of his penis. But a bone would get in the way! Anybody can grow a bone in the penis, you don’t have to be particularly healthy or tough. So selection pressure from females forced males to lose the os penis, because the only genuinely healthy or strong males could present a really stiff erection and the females could make an unobstructed diagnosis.” (p. 405-406)

“The word meme seems to be a good meme.” (p. 423)
