Ninth Word Theory Masterpost

Video essay: Every Hint that Rogue is the Master

Is the Fifteenth Doctor really gone? Is Doctor Who doing TJLC? What's your mirror telling you, Joy?

The answers may lie at the bottom of another rabbit hole: is Rogue the Dungeon Master?

Video essay: The Ninth Word

Is this story really over? Why has something been off with reality ever since the 14th Doctor specials, and what does it have to do with the Tardis? What are the Rani and the Master planning? What's the truth about Omega? How does everything connect to the Doctor's personal psychodrama? And what's with all the mirrors?

The Meta:

Why Use Code? (A short essay on Robot Revolution’s secret code plot, and how it works as a microcosm for the rest of the season)

Mirror Theory and Reality War (A breakdown of the character mirrors in each episode of s16, plus a series of “discussion questions” about what they mean)

“This is gonna hurt” (A reading of 15’s self-sacrifice in relation to the season’s suicide themes)

A theory-breakdown of 15’s regeneration scene

A breakdown of the four main antagonists of this storyline

there's a direct parallel between yahoo buying [tumblr] and disney buying the doctor who streaming rights. both thought they had acquired the Ultimate Jackpot Money Machine and instead they just inherited a very strange little thing that ultimately, as it turns out, does better just operating outside of the bounds of the modern sensibilities entirely.

Went to the Aboriginal artifact exhibit in Chicago. And it’s interesting. How many blankets and masks and totem poles say ‘unknown source’, because every five seconds my mom would stop and point to something and say. “Pauline’s grandmother made that,” or, “That belongs to Mike’s family, I should call him” because. It’s all stolen

[teaboot]

“These artifacts were excavated by archaeologists from a burial site in the 1970’s. The remains were returned for reinterment” Okay cool, cool cool. So you just, like. Dug up the grave of a respected family member, stripped them naked, mailed their body back to their family and kept everything they were lovingly put to rest in. Like a graverobbing bastard

[toothmuncher3000]

Reminds me of the time when of the elders from my hometown started touching a totem pole in the Museum of Anthropology out at UBC and got yelled at by the staff, only to tell him that the pole had been stolen off of the front of her bighouse when she was ten years old.

Museum collectors did the equivalent of kidnapping a family member when they were away fishing.

The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act requires all institutions that receive federal funding to repatriate remains and artifacts so if you can identify the source of something on display absolutely get a hold of that institute’s repatriation office

The year is 2056. The 30th doctor is David Tennant. He took over from David Tennant. His companion is played by David Tennant. The villain is David Tennant as David Tennant. The showrunner is David Tennant. You hear a knock on the door. It's David Tennant. He gives you a pocket watch. You open it and remember who you are. You were David Tennant all along.

nobody is fucking the doctor more than the tardis. thats their car who is also their wife. who they live inside. never forget this

[kirianthedivorce]

Episode one Belinda: breaks up with her boyfriend because he’s a controlling misogynistic prick who wants her to conform to the role of wife and mother, when he later kidnaps her to force her to marry him she calls him an incel and explodes him

Episode eight Belinda: I can’t help you with the battle I’m no use at saving the world, the best thing I can do is stand in this box with my daughter and be a mother, I love being a mother, please rewrite my entire timeline so that I have a daughter, I’m so glad this right wing incel fascist rewrote reality so that women are wives and mothers because that means I am a mother to my daughter

[angel1573]

Reasons like this really help lead into the fanon that it's a fakeout timeline somehow. It's a huge tonal dissonance.

I want to thank Ncuti for all that he’s done as the doctor, he brought love, light and vulnerability. He’s the first black openly gay doctor. He’s beautiful. He’ll be my favourite for a while. He’ll never be forgotten. The doctor who loved wholeheartedly
