“It was a Halloween party, which was already a bullet point that needed splitting into two, differentiated by those little ‘i’s: i, things never seemed to go well when mixing the Doctor and major holidays; and ii, it is surprisingly hard to tell humans in rubber masks apart from real aliens.”

Ok so I recently started getting really into the idea of a role swap au and I thought of something which was a perfect crossover of 2 of my biggest hyperfixations rn. The Hannibal books and doctor who

So I was thinking of what capaldi!master would be like and I thought it would be perfect if he was like hannibal Lecter. Cold, calculating, terrifyingly intelligent, and oh so cruel.

The gomez!master would be super geeky and hippie-ish but with a hyperactive spark to her. Like she wears lots of tyedye and her hair is like michelle Gomez's natural frizzy curls. Like if the costume designer just took a blow dryer to Michelle's hair and said "done!" For reference this is what her natural hair looks like.

Shed wear super baggy puff pants and loose colorful shirts and maybe some wacky glasses or hair accessories.

Now the capaldi!master. Hes a really interesting beast.

I imagine his hair to be a lot like peter when he played in The Devils Hour. Sorta more sharp and sculpted than his doctors hair.

I imagine hed be very much like hannibal Lecter, specifically Anthony Hopkins' version. He stands inhumanly still, almost never blinking. And when he does blink, its robotic, almost reptilian. He walks in a way that looks like hes floating, his body never bobbing in the slightest.

I imagine hed be very interested in dance and ballet, like waltzes and stuff like that. He would have incredibly graceful body language, to an almost unnatural degree. Hed be obsessed with the fine arts and classical media. Hed like to quote Shakespeare a lot as well as other famous historical writers like Plato and Socrates. He enjoys quoting Sun Tzu's The Art of War, Macbeth, Othello, and Hamlet among many philosophical texts. He especially likes quoting Frederick Nietzsche cus of course this edgy bastard would.

He wears shoes that can be used as ballet shoes but youd never know until he suddenly goes en pointe and starts slowly waltzing with himself when he gets bored with listening to you.

I specifically imagined what the capaldi!master being in the vault would be like. I immediately compared it to hannibal lecter in the cage in Silence of the Lambs. He reads a ton, dances, recites entire Shakespeare plays from memory, and draws. Maybe he even sings too 👀👀.
