Elsa: You know me.

My knee jerk reaction is that -- I like it and feels on brand. I mean from what I remember from the Third Doctor story, Delgado!Master almost had a breakdown when the Mind of Evil thing tricked Delgado!Master into thinking that the Doctor was laughing at him. 

The Master never did well when they thought the Doctor was better than them, equals: yes, okay; the Master slightly superior than the Doctor? SURE. 

The Doctor more special than the Master, even in tragedy? NO. 

There’s a part of the Doctor in him (and not the way they liked it😉) that made him special? Yeah, that’s gonna be something the Master won’t countenance. 

I mean add that on top of their own self-loathing issues, all the unaddressed abuse layered on, and the even more unaddressed guilt killing the Time Lords? 

Death Seeker Master, trying to bring the Doctor along the ride with him, so they would be equal. 

So the Doctor would sink down to his level, so that he would finally receive the final death from her hands and the Doctor dies with them. 

It feels on brand to a particular kind of Master. It feels both Classic and New Who!Master. 

She’s hit peak doctor style bastard!!! It’s finally happened!!! I say that like she’s not capable of very much being a Lot more of a bastard when i’m sure she is and probably will be so very soon lol  

I Love that she was such an open dork throughout it tho b/c the fact that she’s a Right Bastard is so much more fun when she’s yeeting byron across the room, walking face first into force fields b/c she didn’t even think to put a hand out first, and licking skeleton dust to contrast to her i am in the stratosphere Alone to make the Hard Choices and you’re all so far at my feet i can’t even See you bs like… Doc

but then she’s like, awww Graham maybe Ghosts Are real, messing with him like she did in Rosa with the ‘you’re not banksy!!’ ‘or Am I?’ sequence like she hadn’t just basically relegated him to the importance of an ant, potentially doomed the universe and yelled at him for not knowing what she’d not bothered to tell him despite his repeat attempts to get her to open up, like 2 hours minimum before all this happened! 

Like, what a jerk, u can’t just do that!!!! Even with the cute baby smile and cute scarf!!!! I see the bastard within the cute baby exterior! 

And the mountain metaphor tho like, imo was edging Uncomfortably close to a god metaphor, more Greek with the gods fecklessly playing with the mortals for their own agendas than other takes, but Add in the stonkingly obvious parallels between her and the master and the two bored and competing immortals that are sometimes considered as gods in Can You Hear Me? that just Decide and play with the universe as they will and i was like… 

Tone it down. 

Too Far. 

You need somebody to follow you around with a spray bottle of water and for them to spray you smack in the face with it every time you peak on the bastard arrogant scale. Literally every regeneration needs this. 

And yet, every time she looks sad i want to Hug her and make sure she’s okay because she’s got the cute ‘i’m baby’ face and honestly i made some comment last season abt how 13 got off easy with Najia because the gender roles were unknowingly working in her favour (like, arachnids happening with a doctor who looks 30 something but a man??? in that ep??? Najia hears all the stuff Yaz, her TEENAGE daughter is saying there??? 13 would have been socked by a mother again imo) but honestly i think it’s working on me too… I know she’s a bastard rat child time lord hubris ridden jerk with occasional genocidal tendencies and yet here i am… Wanting a trip in the box and to ask her if she’s okay. 

*Ahtohallan lol

Show I thought I’d hate but ended up loving:

For the longest time, I *completely* ignored Parks and Rec because season one was awful and I was sure it wouldn’t be my thing but the internet insisted it got better and LO, for once, the internet was right.

Top 5 TV characters:

41. What is your favorite milkshake flavor?

Strawberry!!!!!

51. Are you a good liar?

Ooooo... I answered a question that was slightly similar in the comments of the original story, but it only mentioned Donna in passing, so here we go!

There’s a little variance depending on when exactly they encountered one another, so let’s say that it’s during some hypothetical scenario where Donna, Jenny, and Harry are on Team TARDIS together with the Tenth Doctor. 

Mayhem. Absolute MAYHEM. Four extremely shouty argumentative motormouths in one TARDIS--despite it being Bigger on the Inside, it is NOT big enough to contain all that. Donna and Jenny would enable each other’s worse ideas, Donna and Harry would be almost as Feral towards one another as he is with Jenny, Jenny and Ten would be in a constant slap fight over who gets to touch the tech, the sexual tension between Ten and Harry would be absurd, and no one would be able to get a word in edgewise. Any alien invasion would take one look at them and straight-up Nope out of there.
