Tbh for a person who tried so hard to seize a future for his people to give up voluntarily in an episode called escaping the future is honestly poetic audio
#ivq listens to bf#h that will b my meta tag from now on#braxiatel#thr future is a pretty big motif for brax tbh#from beginning to end#he invited pandora into his mind but the future aspect never came#the uncarved fountain called the future#communications with his future selves literally#i mean it ties on to brax as the#archmanipulator and seeing the bigger picture#and being a timelord#but it feels more tangible than that#on another topic#brax seems to take on that bartering trade thing p seriously#like everything comes with an equal price#esp with lives#starting from the lord burner story like the president made him exchange his life for the doctor and susans#but he instead took the preseidents and the burner’s lives to let dr and susan go#another instance with clarissa and ronan#another with john and benny like john had to sacrifice his life to save benny#maggie has to become one with the ship for benny to walk free#bev (failed) for his return for control of the collection#sometimes they are not equal eg the entire mimsphere for the collection#and of course his own life for his plans and future#lives are not above anything as bargaining chips#he doesnt put too much emotions or concerns into sufferinng and life and death and all the things that would not be easy topics for others#in many happy returns he said he would collect anything the good the bad or the ugly (or along the lines of that) and he was like#heck how facinating at the writhing mutated dalek in soldier obscura when ace was like hey what the Fuck is this#like he wouldnt bat an eye to nearly everything in exchange for the future#and thats what made him so extreme
