The finger paint + posca pen stuff I made tonight
That's an octopus, a doctormaster and a masterdoctor. Bet you can figure out which is which. Unless you're Dimitri
#I was FIGHTING with the white pen#it made some cool effects on the first and second paintings but at the third one I was SO ANNOYED#I was on the verge of just stabbing the paper with the pen#so watch as I progressively fall into insanity#should I maybe worry about my sudden bursts of anger#or not#doctor who#the master#the doctor#octopusblogging#whittaker!master#dhawan!doctor#my art

To my great surprise, The Master And Margarita does in fact contain octopusblogging.
And then, imagine, a third stage came - of fear.
No, not fear of these articles, you understand, but fear of other things totaly unrelated to them or to the novel. Thus, for instance, I began to be afraid of the dark. In short, the stage of mental illness came. It seemed to me, especially as I was falling asleep, that some very cold and pliant octopus was stealing with its tentacles immediately and directly towards my heart. And I had to sleep with the light on.
My beloved changed very much (of course, I never told her about the octopus, but she could see that something was going wrong with me),
…
This was at dusk, in mid-October. And she left. I lay down on the sofa and fell asleep without turning on the light. I was awakened by the feeling that the octopus was there.
(Also we are currently in Crash #2:)
#tmam#octopusblogging#so the octopus is symbolic of#mental illness and loss of control over the self#…yeah i guess#also i love#“(of course i never told her about the octopus)”

FRIENDS WAKE UP NEW OCTOPUS JUST DROPPED
Scientists have found the oldest known ancestor of octopuses – an approximately 330m-year-old fossil unearthed in Montana.
The researchers concluded the ancient creature lived millions of years earlier than previously believed, meaning that octopuses originated before the era of dinosaurs.
The 4.7-inch (12-cm) fossil has 10 limbs – modern octopuses have eight – each with two rows of suckers. It probably lived in a shallow, tropical ocean bay.

you know how hard octopi are to keep in captivity and they break out of tanks and stuff really easily. is that…is that something?
the doctor and the master are octopuses #confirmed
first thought: renegades.
second thought: but what about timelords at home?
third thought: are they restrained in some way? did rassilon limit them like the amount of regenerations they get? is the multidimensional eldritch timelord shape a timelord thing or is it a gallifreyan thing? im pretty sure ive read meta about time sensitivity that said that gallifreyans are time sensitive too?
oh right found it i think:
The planet is highly temporally active
The Untempered Schism is ‘an opening in the space/time continuum, “a gap in the fabric of reality from which can be seen the whole of the Vortex”.’Let’s be horribly imprecise and call it a stable Rift. It definitely shares at least some similarities
Since most species on Gallifrey seem to have some kind of temporal senses, we can assume that the area around the Schism is not the only temporally active place on Gallifrey
It may be that something in the atmosphere occasionally reacts to produce artron energy spikes (like lightning but worse), or it may be something else. I’m going to stick with the atmosphere for now because it’s as good a theory as any
Simply put this makes Gallifrey about a zillion times more dangerous than Earth
Here are some fics to show you what I mean
Those tunnels are starting to look pretty habitable now, aren’t they? They have fresh water and the air doesn’t periodically try to kill you
(Have you ever noticed how most Time Lords are really really agoraphobic?)
i got distracted but umm i think the train of thought i was on was like, im imagining the octopus form basically as like, their shape in dimensions we cant perceive? and i feel like time is space theyre both dimensions so, is the time sensitivity and the octopus the same thing? ahsdgjkhfg oh i am tired. i mean. like theyre time sensitive bc they have that shape or they have that shape bc theyre time sensitive or like, those things are the same thing in some way. not the same but like, developed at the same time for the same reason.
but it's a gallifreyan thing then right? all gallifreyans would be like this the same way all gallifreyans are time sensitive because they live on a weird planet?
fourth thought: does it make sense for rassilon to restrict that? to control it in some way to make them all follow the time laws? and if that is the case, if rassilon like put a little cage on timelords like that, do renegades become freeer? and non-timelord gallifreyans, are they freeer? what do they feel like?
i said the other day that i definitely think about their multidimensional form as like, these partially independently acting body parts that are constantly sensing and doing stuff without the main brain's conscious awareness. like theyve got their tentacles in other minds and theyve got their tentacles in time at all times. just manipulating stuff very subtly and naturally.
timelords are sorta somatophobic right? but are shobogans too? i feel like how free any individual would be regarding touch, telepathy, time meddling, and like tentacles, would all be connected?
i mean like, do renegades get super big like the fish that if you put them in a pond instead of a fish tank they get super big?
#no idea if this is what you meant this is where my brain went so#that meta i linked concludes early gallifreyans might have lived in underground tunnels#i went through the meta ive saved and can find easily but coudlnt find stuff ive read meta or hc about like dr nya#i dont know how that name ends im sorry adhfjhgkj#also i have this hc that thoschei in childhood went to lowtown secretly and thats where they first were exposed to like#music and stories and stuff#which isnt really canonical but i like it too much not to believe in it#bc they would go down there where like all the criminal activity was to do illegal things and those illegal things would then be like#drinking. but also people down there just Touch Each Other like without any like clothes between them#and i like to think thoschei back then was very queer adn they would hold hands in secret or whatever#but then the queer bit of that is the holding hands part not the gender part#if that makes sense#i dont remember why i felt this was relevant but i did#like idk they wouldnt have been super good at limiting themselves as timelords. especially theta. and they went to these places where#peopple were just a lot freer in every way#and then they become renegades so like#they must have very different octopus Shapes then timelords that are like caged i guess#also i think koscheis shape is all twisty and turny bc of the schism and what that did to them#i dont know if im making sense im going back to my documentary now#octopusblogging

im watching a deep sea documentary because i couldnt find an octopus one anymore im hoping for a squid and i know these arent octopuses but im definitely still adopting this for my octopus timelord headcanons
because octopuses also change their skin and everything. so they light up in dimensions we cant see
for one thing i think of course emotional expression and... manipulation? i dont think thats the word but like when 13 is doing her thing with tim shaw or the daleks “now you’re worried” or with the sontaran “youre looking at her” stuff like that when shes putting on a show and leaning into the ways shes a threat, i think in those moments if you could see in idk 17 dimensions you could see her light up in patterns that mean THREAT or maybe even, i think this is even more likely actually, patterns meant for luring in prey.
or like, dominance signals?
A dominance signal is used in a dominance hierarchy or pecking order to indicate an animal's dominance. Dominance signals are a type of internal environment signal that demonstrate the signalers attributes. Dominance signals are necessary for several species for mating, maintaining social hierarchies and defending territories.
im not sure if any social insects in colonies do this, but octopuses seem to:
Although colorblind, octopuses have excellent vision – consequently, by using highly contrasting chromatic signals, octopuses can clearly display their intent (e.g., to show dominance or submissiveness)
and right now im imagining gallifreyans as like a cross between a social insect and octopuses with super long lifespans i think (also bc like, octopuses die really quickly after mating and have this sort of abrupt aging process which might have been a reason for tecteun to be so !!! when she saw the timeless child regenerate)
anyway point is when the doctor is Showing Off theyre doing like dominance signaling im imagining something like this:
and i imagine that for timelords then the more complex and symmetrical the tentacle shapes are, like thats better, and then the more complex and intricate the patterns you can flash on them are thats also better, then youre winning. but like, this is all not in dimensions we can perceive right? so it doesnt LOOK like this this is just the closest i can come with my puny human senses. they wouldnt even be seeing it it would be with some other sense i think. anyway.
and i think other time sensitive species can also see/sense this, daleks definitely can, and theyre kinda squiddy too so like, thats why theyre mortal enemies asdkfkjhg im kidding. but i do think it works extra well on daleks
and i think they can signal lots of other things too, thats why gallifreyan doesnt translate. 1) theyre telepathic so they have fewer/different words/concepts for things, in words at least, and 2) theyve got all This to even further like, talk, i guess. everything like emotional and social and stuff all happens without words. so in human contexts the doctor must feel like, very limited, in both perception and expression
and i can also imagine there might be like, specificities to how they move or look or what shapes they tend to in certain context that are all specific to the individual. like handwriting or your face or how your voice sounds.
and i can also imagine that the way you interact like tentacle wise also depends on the relationship. like, the nuances of the communication shape themselves to the relationship the same way it does, like, with our languages
#im thinking about a lot more things the tentacles can be doing but im gonna start a new post for that#octopusblogging
