Small Analysis On The True Names Of The Characters The Doctor & The Master:

Small analysis on the “true” names of the characters The Doctor & The Master:

Recently I saw a post about how Theta means death, and I thought why the hell not look up what Koschei means (outside of the villain archetype) and he means deathless. It had me thinking - these names that the fandom seems to have chosen from hints and archetypes are scarily accurate.

Theta; the meaning of death, the hero where we are constantly shown as the hero, is a morally gray character. They are never at the hands of death, they are death’s hands. They never welcome death, and may never die. But they welcome upon the deaths of others even unintentionally. To the point where they murder another child to protect their other half.

Koschei; the deathless, the villain which the hero can never rid of. They have “died” several times, and we are led to believe they’re really dead every time. But like a cancer that our hero can’t get rid of, they come back again and again. They are the hands of the universe, driven with a madness so pure sometimes it can be seen as beautiful.

These two are unable to be without each other, The Doctor, our Theta, cannot exist without the Master, our Koschei. To exist without the deathless brings the universe pure fury and destruction. They are two sides of the same coin, and I wonder if the fandom is even aware of how these names represent their characters so well.

i actually kinda like it when a character getting better includes them becoming weirder and less polite and more confusing and strange. no more "domestication" i wanna see the weird guy be weird!!!

the serial where the master summons satan (in the season where he was the surprise villain… every time) had his disguise literally just be wearing glasses… 

Master Of Disguise Indeed 

just so you know, you have some followers who enjoy/write fanfiction. not saying their urls rn bc i don’t wanna air out dirty laundry in public but if you want them so you can block and report, just say the word and i’ll dm you a list

Three's era is actually so funny. He's basically placed on the naughty step by the timelords by being exiled to earth. And he acts just like a child being punished and tries everything to get off earth and rebel and throws his toys out the pram when he can't leave (with the brigadier smirking in the background might i add). Then what's even funnier is that the timelords realise they actually need his help with things they just can't be arsed to do themselves so they send him out on errands and temporarily allow him to leave earth (which might are say are ridiculously dangerous errands too lol). And then once the doctor does said errands for them they return him back to earth and STILL don't let him leave earth until he redeems himself later lol 😂

My favourite thing about the Third Doctor/Delgado!Master era is that most episodes start out like this

and then end up like this
