Gallifreyan society is fucked but funny

Every time I learn something new about Academy era Gallifrey I have to do a double take. Some of it is cute and very human for a society like that (etc. the Doctor keeping a pet in his dorm he wasn’t allowed, the Doctor and the Master having a band in their youth, baby Doctor being the Time Tot hide and seek champion for 42 straight years which apparently pissed off baby Rani) and then other bits is just like. The kind of straight up insanity I expected. Baby Doctor (or Theta) developing a new kind of bacteria that could render anyone that came in contact with it comatose. Theta’s cousin trying to get him executed as a literal fucking child out of jealousy. Theta’s friend group (the Deca) climbing a mountain with hallucinogenic snow. A student at the Academy turning another student into a crystal and dropping him off a tower. Magnus (the War Chief) rising to prominence amongst the Time Lords and the Borusa (the Deca’s old professor) framing him for treason out of envy, causing him to have to become a renegade.

Like imagine you’ve got a nice and well-appointed government job after leaving uni and your old lecturer who also happens to work for the government starts feeling threatened by you so he tries to get you the fucking death penalty by framing you for the most serious crime you can literally ever commit in your society, all this forcing you into becoming an on-the-run convict.

Honestly I don’t blame ANY of the renegades for running away and just being generally fucked up people. The Doctor? The Master? The Rani? The War Chief? The Time Meddler? Their childhoods were FUCKED dude, no FUCKING wonder they’re all in such desperate need of therapy. Not to mention The Doctor wanting to find The Toymaker to prove to his family that he’s not a screw up, and in that getting two of his friends killed, and then erased from ever existing because the Time Lord government couldn’t bear such a scandal.

If Gallifreyan society and hierarchy wasn’t so genuinely fucked, I don’t think any of Doctor Who would’ve happened.

To survive on that forsaken planet, you HAVE to be an awful person, I swear to god. No wonder Doc wanted to leave so bad because Jesus fuck the amount of assassination attempts and misuses of the justice system I’ve been reading about 😭🙏 basically everyone is just a self-serving dick in this society and honestly it’s kinda funny

The Master making a president die of stress because he staged a fucking rebellion with a load of uni students… multiple times. And tried to get The Doctor to join… multiple times. For which Doc had his memory wiped… multiple times.

Ah, my very favourite disaster planet. (apart from Earth ofc)

The Decalogue or something tag yourself I’m the guy from marvel

Not too happy with some of these designs yet but it’s gotta exist first for you to fix it

[d3yeeted]

all of them! at once! so I can reference them! if you're interested in any of my design choices, see below

I was kind of just winging it lol. If they appeared in visual form at some point, I tried for some to make them reminiscent of the actor. Otherwise it was free-reign.

Theta: I wanted to make him look like he goes outside. Very sunny. Catlike and a little feminine. Ever so blond. 2nd tallest.

Koschei: A bit anemic! He was so grey before I stuck and overlay on him that it was creepy lmao. His bowl cut has grown a little more tasteful. He's supposed to be a little sharp (shapewise). He's the 2nd shortest.

Ushas: I wanted her to be very mature and put-together. She is very smart in appearance and demeanor. Wears lipstick. Braid for lab safety because her hair is so long. Tallest.

Jelpax: I wanted someone who looked like he'd wear a turtleneck. I was hesitant to give him glasses, bc I feel like time lords would look down on someone not loomed with 20/20 vision, but his face felt empty lol.

Drax: He looks nothing like his actor, but I figure he'd've regenerated by that point. I wanted him to look a bit like a frat guy. Shortest.

Mortimus: Based off his actor from the time meddler serial. Full of whimsy.

Millennia: I just needed the nicest-looking person ever. Kind eyes, big curly hair, soft eyebrows. She's my fav lol. Taller than Rallon.

Rallon: I really like the "generic guy x absolute goddess of a woman" trope so. here's generic guy! I tried to make him look like someone who'd die first in a horror movie. I swear I like him!

Magnus: He's dissociating in the back lol. I basically recolored one of my old brax ideas and made it look a little softer. Needed someone who vaguely looked like they'd like politics.

Vansell: I wanted him to look chill and a little suspicious. Middle part bangs and the weird smirk did just that imo.

That's all!

If you want to nitpick please do, I lowkey haven't consumed any Deca content besides Divided Loyalties so I'm extremely uninformed lmao

Propaganda I won’t fall for:

- ttc makes the doctor inherently predestined for greatness

- saxon is a bad characterisation of the master

- spy is a bad characterisation of the master

- spy ruined missy’s arc

- koschei keeping facial hair at the academy

- millennia being “the brain cell” of the deca

- ushas being “the brain cell” of the deca
