Like, of course, 8 wanted to be a warrior, so he became the War Doctor (I know that he drank a potion for that, but that might’ve just been lemonade according to the Target Novelization).

War wanted to be the hero, to earn the title, the Doctor, again, so he became 9.

9 wanted to be someone who was the perfect partner to Rose (human), so he became 10.

10, in his vanity, wanted his final regeneration to be young, so he became 11.

11, after all the heartache, wanted to be more distant (and also what they said in series 8), so he became 12.

12 wanted a kind, fresh start, so he became 13.

13 wanted to open up to someone, so she became 14.

14 wanted time to heal, so he split off 15.

This is not an original theory, and I'm not even saying that I buy into it fully it, but it's interesting. It would be interesting if the Doctor had a tiny bit of control over their regeneration (Romana did, somehow) and most of the time his wants either backfire or only half work.

"You might still make a family. I’ll visit, but only if you want me to.” “What kind of family would I make where you couldn’t be part of it?”

This is between the MC and her adoptive father late into the story. The way I had to get up and walk around the room after realizing I've already written the ending to her saga with her starting a family he incidentally can't be a part of..............I did not plan it that way at all.

Regenerate

"This wound shall be like the chills of winter: swiftly forgotten when spring shoots rise."

Replayed my old game that I made as my first art project after my dad died. My first attempt at processing the grief:

My second grief game was Earthsong:

Regenerate game jam is back in March, guess I'll be making a final chapter to the grief processing.
