insane master fan

Finally listened to call me master: self help. I really really enjoyed it. Fresh post regeneration master getting trapped in a cave for 277 years, going to therapy, crying and keeping some people alive on a crashing ship. Banger.

missy is exactly the correct response to "what would the master do if they regenerated into a body perceived by humans as a woman". you must understand that the master finds human bigotry funny and loves to dress up. she's doing human gender as drag and leaning into the misogyny because it's fucking hilarious to her, right down to the name missy

we need more non white writers in doctor who because realistically if the master regenerated into what humans perceive as an indian british man his instinct would not be to join the nazis, it would be to troll the hell out of everyone. the master would be like "ugh. unit is always racially profiling me" and the doctor would be like "you literally tried to set london on fire" and the master would be like "wow, doctor, racist much? just assuming i'm a criminal because i'm a brown man?" and the doctor would be like "three hundred years ago you tried to blow up the taj mahal" and the master would be like "what can i say? it was in the way"

crucially, where the doctor is more or less indifferent to human bigotry and identity (and would just be confused if subjected to misogyny), the master is really invested in human bigotry and identity and, more to the point, finds them hilarious. john simm's master would complain about reverse racism, michelle gomez's master would be catty and misogynistic to clara and then be like i can't be sexist, i'm literally a woman, i could not more clearly be wearing high heels, and sacha dhawan's master would commiserate with yaz about racism whilst telling her to her face that she is lesser than him for being human

my winning strategy for fixing doctor who is "we should make the master a reverse racist"

"We need more non-white writers" is very racist, plus the Master is evil, he is not good. Whole planets and whole civilizations have been destroyed by the Master. The idiot who wrote the original post needs to watch Classic Doctor Who, including particularly every episode featuring the Master. Watch "The Deadly Assassin," where to prolong his life, he nearly destroys Galifrey, his home planet. Then "Logopolis," when his sad attempts at power cause whole sections of the universe, including Traken, a planetary system devoted to peace. Get over your inferiority complex.

my icon could not more clearly be timothy chalamet, who played the seventh doctor??

Joking aside, I hope the bbc takes this as a lesson that relying on nostalgia all the time isn’t a good thing and they actually start to give new people a chance to tell fresh stories.

the doctor just keeps regenerating forever because they're not a time lord. the master does it because they're too gay to die

"LMAO Fourth Doctor hates the Master" Four's whole character is acting childish and rude because he's actually sensitive and wants to be loving but can't handle confrontation. He's just been forced back to his home planet, an incredibly traumatic place and sees his best friend in the entire universe painfully ROTTING ALIVE. Ofc he's a bit standoffish, of course he's trying to act like he doesn't care because that's what the Doctor (especially this version, but you can make an argument every Doctor pulls this) usually does in response to trauma, hides his incredibly damaged emotions, his fear and rage and sorrow. That's who he is!! It doesn't mean he doesn't care! That's what he wants you to think, that's what he wants to think!

The Master saying, "You may have made me but I have destroyed you. Become death, become me." in The Timeless Children really takes on a whole other level of meaning after learning that The Doctor/Theta literally made a deal with Death to make them both think that the The Master/Koschei killed Torvic making him become Death's Champion instead of The Doctor/Theta. Koschei was burdened with the guilt of an act he never committed and became death because of it. The Master was really set up to fail with that act. This + the timeless child revelation?? yeahhh I can see why he's gone insane.

I don't think dr who is getting cancelled but you have to admit generating hype for an announcement only to say "we're pulling the plug" would be kind of hilarious
