history is subjunctive

The Master always rags on the Doctor for hanging out with human beings all the time, but the Master also has a whole universe full of species to fiddle with, and yet! You're also at the devil's sacrament here, meddling with the humans and putting them into situations like a five year old dangling Barbies over a fake volcano. Pot, meet fucking kettle.

i like how the thirteenth doctor knows her life would be easier if the master was dead but ALSO knows that if she kills him he "Wins" which is completely intolerable. so she just keeps handing guns to random girls when he's in the room and hopes he says something nasty enough that they do the job for her

The Divorce uses the definite article bc it’s haunting the narrative of the era

interesting that in survival the doctor saw the master turning into a cat and literally the next scene he’s warning ace about the cheetah people that “they can be dangerously attractive”. yeah

This scene KILLS me every time because you can tell he's mentally pushed the action figures together for YEARS while waiting for this plan to come together and now shes actually partaking in his fantasy of control and power he can't keep it together. It's the quivalent of years of slow burn scheming/plotting/planning/manifesting/wishing/dreaming finally paying off in front of him, and he does what all good fic readers do when they're faced with there really only being one bed and take a moment to himself to go 'oh my fucking god its HAPPENING'

and the best part is that the doctor is just extremely unphased by all of it 😭
