Academy era fans, hear me out (academy era art courtesy of @blangg)

These guys

Are literally the same As these guys

MY REASONS:

both are a tragic ship that ends with one/both getting stuck in an alternate reality (Rallon and Millenia in the Toy Room, timebomb with the anomaly)

girl with blue hair (Powder and Millenia. Yes, I know "blue hair Millie" isn't canon, but it's fanon enough to BE canon at this point.)

both part of a group of rebellious slightly burnt-out gifted kids (the Deca and whatever is going on in the divergent universe)

both ships have blatantly gay friends who won't say that they're dating but clearly are (thoschei and whatever Milo and Klagger have going on)

98% sure both have betting pools on when they're going to get married

the relationship is canon yet barely explored (both) (again, thoschei has always been the main implied ship in academy era stuff while rallenia is just kind of There) (and yes, there is the one hour timebomb deleted scene which is basically akin to if RTD was like, screw it, tensimm kiss and an entire episode about their relationship).

heck, Powder is if Millenia got some hair ties and styling tools and didn't have time travel building things in a cave with a box of scraps

Time travel. Like, I am half convinced that these two with Heimerdinger might have ended up as the Rassilon/Omega/The Other equivalent if they'd stayed long enough. And yeah, Rallon and Rassilon sound kind of similar. Which is probably a coincidence but I feel like i have to point that out.

As far as I know, Gary Russell never says Rallon was a white dude. He could EASILY look like Ekko because we basically only have a few details and the rest is up to fandom interpretation.

I could also argue that there are thoschei parallels, but like I think timedolls (my proposed name for Rallon x Millenia) fits better, strictly based on vibes.

I haven't read divided loyalties yet (or, I tried but the racism put me off), but I assume that Rallon and Millenia aren't, like, Time Lord royalty equivalent. Likely poorer families who aren't guaranteed access to the Prydonian Academy. AKA: not Piltover folks.

If this isn't the case, someone should write a fanfic where they meet

The Terrible Zodin in The Dangerous Book of Monsters:

(This book was published in 2015 and I finally got a clean screenshot of this page!)

The Terrible Zodin is a running gag in Doctor Who:

This page canon-welds the VNA novel Legacy:

The Doctor yawned. Still, he should be grateful - very few people stayed awake throughout the entire story of the terrible Zodin and her giant grasshoppers. Or was it Ch'tizz? He could never remember who had the grasshoppers and who had the mutant kangaroos. Still, it hardly mattered - it had taken nearly an hour to tell the story. Kort's intelligent, incisive and therefore downright annoying questions about Zodin's practical motives and the physics of the grasshoppers jumping eighteen-storey buildings had highlighted not only his inquisitive nature but also the Doctor's disposition to exaggeration.

The PDA novel The Colony of Lies:

"I don't think that would have been a good idea," Zoe said firmly. "I don't entirely trust them. Not all monsters have talons and claws, you know," she added. "That's as maybe, but lots do. Like those Yeti things, and the terrible Zodin," added Jamie unhelpfully.

And the SJA episode The Mad Woman in the Attic:

LUKE: Oh, last week, she met a race of aliens who look exactly like the Fimbles. CLYDE: Oh, she was winding you up. SARAH JANE: Oh no, she wasn't. I've met the Zodin before. Stripy, and they're odd. No, you wouldn't laugh. You really wouldn't.

Look all I'm saying is if you believe the theory that the Gerry Anderson shows are all in one Universe, and you accept TV Century 21s connection to the Doctor Who Universe then consider...

Time Lords are supposed to observe the Universe. They're probably assigned different parts of the Universe to observe. What if one day the Doctor got sloppy? What if one day he looked away? What if one day he was busy stealing the President's Daughter?

The Time-Lock has always existed. The Time Lords have always been aware that there's some other version of reality sealed away beyond some impenetrable temporal barrier.

The Anti-Time breach (mid Eighth Doctor) causes a slight destabilization of the Time-Lock, and for the first time, the Time Lords glimpse what lies behind the barrier: an inevitable, eternal war-timeline that the Time Lords will presumably lock away at some point in the future to preserve the Web of Time. They get paranoid and start preparing for war.

The early Eighth Doctor, desynchronized from Gallifrey-time by a Faction Paradox infection, destroys one of the War Gallifreys but only manages to delay the war, not prevent it.

Conceptual warfare wreaks havoc across segments of the Web of Time, but the two sides are well matched. The Enemy empower the Daleks to fight the Time Lords on the 3D front and thus gain a brief advantage. The late Eighth Doctor gets involved with this front of the war despite his best efforts.

Ohila tries to preserve the Web of Time by forcing two very different versions of the Doctor into existence, in the hope that a major difference in the timelines will prevent the war-timeline from taking precedence. War and Shalka coexist in different versions of the same four centuries: the war in one version, adventures as usual in the other version.

The War Doctor fights battles on all dimensional fronts of the war, against both the Daleks and the Enemy. In the end he (unknowingly) reaches the same conclusion as his previous self and uses the Moment, who forces him to live with all his memories.

The war timeline is Time-Locked out of existence, so that the Warrior technically never existed and Shalka regenerates into Nine. But because Time Lords remember altered timelines, Nine comes out remembering his time as Shalka but ALSO all the horrors of both the Dalek Front and the War in Heaven, and knowing he destroyed not one but two fully-inhabited Gallifreys.

And so the timelines actually make perfect sense :D

//So to canon weld a lil. I'm gonna have it that the casino we see in the show is A casino Husk owns. But the one I made up before we knew more, The Sarcophagus, is still his main one.

So whether someone wanna only use the canon one or my idea, Husk will still be there lol

You can almost make an internally consistent Studio Gainax Mecha Anime Unified Timeline, but the one hitch is that Gunbuster and Evangelion both start in 2015 and portray a very different status for Earth and Humanity.

Maybe Nadia is the branching off point for both. In one timeline humanity investigates the Atlantean technology in the Nautilus and by 2015 has homing lasers, photon torpedoes, and degeneracy reactors. In the other timeline humanity finds the Atlantean base in Antarctica, investigates the body of Adam, and by 2015 has armored cyber kaiju.

Maybe have the closed timeline loop of Evangelion Rebuild erase the Second and Third Impacts from history, returning things to normal by 2015...just in time for the Space Kaiju to invade.

In any case, there's a pretty straight throughline from Diebuster to Gurren Lagann. When Lal'c and Nono draw on "hard work and guts" they're unwittingly tapping into the energy source that would later be scientifically codified and technologically harnessed as Spiral Power.
