several photos of Simm!Master doll (wearing his F*CK YOU hoodie) interacting with the TARDIS cats in front of one of those cat-tree things that’s got places for them to climb and sit. there’s about 10 cats total, in a variety of sizes and colours, playing, sleeping, using the various compartments of the cat-playground, interacting with each other. 

M starts out the photoset sitting upright on a floor-cushion, taking a moment to glare at the viewer.

later he’s lying on the floor propped up with cushions, falls asleep with a cat curled up purring on his chest, wakes up stiff and sore... but still surrounded by cats.

those have been in the back of my mind for ages!

simm!master stands behind them, bending down to touch ten’s hair. he holds halorvic’s drawing of ten as that bird with the outrageous crest, followed by a question mark.

image description: photos of 10th dr and simm!master doll outdoors. the backgrounds are plants/grass and stone or concrete surfaces. the master has his cane near him at all times.

they’ve got out of the sidecar-vespa to take a break in the park. Ten is stretching in the background while S!M carries a blanket. everything seems fine but maybe it’s not.

Ten is standing among tall plants, staring blankly (at memories, not at their surroundings?)

S!M is sat on the blanket, motions for Ten to join him. 

the two are sitting together, S!M pulls Ten closer, but the doctor is nervous and looking down sadly.

Ten has got their head on S!M’s lap; he’s trying to help them relax, but they’re still fidgeting their feet and meshing and unmeshing their fingers.

S!M dries Ten’s tears with his thumb; Ten is still staring into some void only they can see.

S!M helps Ten sit up. the sun falls on their face unevenly. both of them are looking almost at each other, but seeing all their pasts instead.

Ten is standing, backlit by the sun, pressing one hand to their head. but it’s not headache... mind-ache, maybe?

the blanket is spread out on a different, more spacious concrete surface. Ten presses their hands to their face, burrows into the refuge of the master’s lap. he’s looking down at the doctor, stroking their hair... and their mind.
