Time Lords and Terror/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Complete Monster: The S'Müz. Full Stop. No Blue and Orange Morality here, it knows full well what it's doing when it absorbs PKE from lifeforms. In fact, it enjoys tearing souls apart in the most hideous fashion possible. The only reason it didn't destroy The Doctor's soul after pulling it out of his body? Spite. It wanted him to witness the horrors it inflicts upon the innocent creatures it devours, to know how much they suffered before being erased from existence. Why? Because he called it stupid in the previous chapter.
    • Possibly Hydia, the enormously powerful space witch who viciously abuses her daughters both physically and verbally. And that whole 'summoning an Ultimate Evil' thing is pretty bad too, especially when she sacrifices Draggle's life to complete the summoning spell.
  • Crowning Moment of Awesome: So so many. The most obvious being The Mane Cast making an Eldritch Abomination beg for its life But there are so many more!
    • Twilight Sparkle verbally slaps The Doctor upside the head when he explains his final option for defeating The S'Müz

Twilight: I said shut up! In case you’ve forgotten this is our world! These are our people! What the hell gives you the right to tell us that we can’t fight for our home, for our lives?! You’ve only been here a day…less! How dare you just put on a brave face and tell us to go hide behinds the sofa while you, The Doctor, go gallivanting off to stop the cosmic monstrosity or destroy our universe trying?! What in Celestia’s wide world of magic makes you think I’d let you?!”
The Doctor opened his mouth to say something before snapping it shut again.
“Now.” said Twilight. “You are going to help us, and we are going to help you. We are going to get through this without any deaths, sacrifices, tragedies, or losses. We are going to stop the Carrionites and the S’Müz together. Understood?” The Doctor stood silent for a moment, Twilight maintaining intense eye contact with him. “Understood?”.

  • Crowning Moment of Funny: Pretty much every time Pinkie Pie and the Doctor directly interact will relocate whatever you're drinking into your nose and onto your lap.
  • High Octane Nightmare Fuel: Everything about The S'Müz, it reaches almost Giygas levels of malevolence and the way it kills is...graphic.
    • Just try to get through the last 10 pages of chapter 4 without flinching, poor, poor Draggle.
