the doctor dances!
The master flirting with the cyberium is the most underrated thing by far
The Doctor to Ashad: fuck you, bitch
The Master to Ashad: fuck me, bitch
And honestly they're both valid ✊😔
I have a lot of thoughts surrounding Dhawan! Master. He’s sad, heartbroken. It makes perfect sense he’s after Missy. He’s broken, betrayed and left behind (again) by the only person he loves. He regenerated alone, after changing who he was for the Doctor.
The one thing he had was that he and the Doctor were the same but they’re not. The Doctor is the timeless child and he’s nobody. In his mind why would she love him? She never chooses him and now she truly is ‘much more than him’
He’s Missy’s pain. He’s her revenge. He doesn’t just want to kill her he wants to die with her. The Master wants to die just not alone. He’s done that before.
The Master is without hope, without witness and without reward. He has nothing, and no one. The Doctor reminded him of that. He’s truly alone in his pain.

I love how absolutely unhinged the master was this episode…he made small dolls out of people and taught them a lesson as if they could hear, he went all puppy eyed “you’re gonna die doctor 🥺🥺” as if it wasn’t his fault that was gonna happen in the first place, he somehow made an alliance with the daleks and the cyberman while dancing to rasputin, he sees kate and with the upmost disrespect says “YouR faTher waS an Idiot” just because the brigadier punched and knocked his ass out years ago 💀💀, he sees tegan and was like…how’s your aunt?? still a miniature ?? you keep her in a doll house ?? I remember killing her just because I felt like it…ACE HELLO how’s life after the doctor fucking left you?? Yaz hi…will you be my companion 🥹💐, I swear we could have some fun together 👉👈 just wait until I trash the doctor’s name…wdym I’m not the doctor I’M THE FREAKING DOCTOR YOU WILL OBAY ME 🤬 no 🥺 please 🥺 don’t make me go back to being me 🥺 doctor don’t leave me here 😭😭 IF I CAN’T BE YOU THEN YOU CAN’T EITHER 😡😡 LETS DIE TOGETHER MY LOVE 🤪😘
this is how i saw the scene
I'm conducting very important, scientific research
On your AO3 you wrote The pieces I'm proudest of are the Broken Wheel series (Once Upon a Time) and Madness for Two (Doctor Who).
What made those two series stand out above others for you if it's ok to ask?
It's completely okay to ask!
Those stories are the ones that turned out on the page looking something like the vision in my head. They were relatively quick and painless to write, probably because they're so contained compared to my long fanfics, but also because I threw away some of the self-imposed constraints that make writing harder (if ultimately more likely to be attractive to a wider audience). They're more self-indulgent and removed from canon than I normally go for as either writer or reader.
Broken Wheel explores a Dark Castle-based romance for Belle and Rumple without really digging into the pitfalls of their relationship. They desire each other and they go for it. As a canon-divergent AU it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but as a fairytale take on OUaT's twist on a fairytale, it's kinda fun. It's quirky because Belle and Rumple are both quirky characters capable of becoming lost in each other to the exclusion of everything else. They spend the story exploring what's possible on their terms and - to deploy a phrase I didn't yet know when I wrote those pieces - matching each other's freak. I think it was the first time I wrote Rumple's POV, which I don't find easy or comfortable compared to Belle, so I'm proud of how that turned out.
Madness for Two is similar in a way - short, contained, smutty with feels, showing POV's I usually avoid because I find them hard. Self-indulgent, quirky, prioritising the Doctor/Master 'ship and smut over the more complex realities of their canon relationship. I wrote it for the 50th anniversary of the Master's debut on DW so I wanted to avoid really diving into the morality of it all and just celebrate my love for the characters. As with Broken Wheel's Belle and Rumple, I wrote Thirteen and the Master (and the subplot with Twelve and Missy) in an obsessive, claustrophobic, and quirky collision of personalities. Nobody matches freaks like those two!
In this case I added a MacGuffin to stop 'em actively fighting for five minutes so the story could work, not so much to enable the smut (though it was nice to do that for the Master's birthday - they've been jonesing for some quality Doctor-time in my head since the 1980's!) but to force their POV's to deal with the antagonism and intensity of their bond in words. I wanted them to describe each other as intimates and, in doing so, throw a light on themselves.
I intended both Broken Wheel and Madness for Two to be character studies first, smut second, love story third. The DW piece throws in angst and hurt comfort too, because that's my fave playground. I played with tone and voice and imagery more than I usually would and - on the whole - was happy with the results. I enjoy reading these stories back, actually seeing the story instead of the flaws in my writing/things I'd do differently now I've learned that bit more.
Lastly, they're actually finished pieces and not WIPs that keep me awake at night listening to the unfulfilled character voices in my head! I've always hoped to add a third piece to make Broken Wheel a trilogy, but it doesn't need it if I never can. I've never quite found the right narrative voice for it, maybe because it wants to be told from Belle's POV while the first two are Rumple's. It's a cute enough story from her POV, but I'd like the set to match and haven't yet figured out how to do that.
and the master always hoped that he did not belong to this. because his doctor always loves, right? always forgives, no matter what he does, right? only all this hope is broken with the same zeal
The human race was always your favourite, Doctor. But now, there is no human race. There is only the Master race.
