insane master fan

reminder that if someone uses multiple pronouns, it's always good to ask them if you should alternate and how often : ) some people like when you alternate often, some prefer if you don't do it often but still keep in mind that you use more than one set of pronouns. Some are okay with you picking one and going with it as long as not everyone pick the same one. Etc. Ask.

For all its faults Tumblr has truly ruined all other social media for me because my friends all have Instagram and are all trying to get me on Instagram more but every time I open Instagram there are like fifteen things screaming for my attention and when I get over myself long enough to start scrolling it's like. Where is my chronological dash. Where is the following-only option. Who are these people. Why are there so many videos. Everyone is screaming at me. And then before I know it I'm thirty minutes into scrolling and I haven't seen a single thing that I actually care about. At least on Tumblr when I see stuff I don't care about I know someone I follow has found a new interest.

irritating as fuck when people get mad at Black people existing in premodern historical fiction/fantasy media. like first of all, you're racist. and second of all, you are acting as though Black people didn't exist in premodern Europe which is simply false. especially when we're talking about the Mediterranean, like what the fuck do you people think is along the southern half of the Mediterranean Ocean?? everyone's on boats, there are GOING to be interactions with Black people in Northern Africa, and there are GOING to be Black people in Mediterranean Europe. stop being stupid. your imagined homogeneous white European past is not historical reality, get over it you massive losers

Last night I dreamed that Harold Saxon summoned the entire population of Cardiff and shot everyone and that was it .

“Why don’t you use ai” idk man beyond the obvious environmental and “this machine causes psychosis and encourages people to kill themselves” thing I think asking the equivalent of a solid D student who is also a pathological liar if they can answer my question/do the work for me seems pretty fucking stupid

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.
