You. Yes, you, the one with the blog.

Thank you for making that blog. Thank you for taking a step into roleplaying with that character. Thank you for enduring the insecurities of wondering if you’re good enough and trying to get started. Thank you for reaching out, talking to people, and creating threads. Thank you for making that character your own, even just a little bit. Thank you for being a part of the fandom, and the roleplay community. Thank you for trying, even if you had to take a step back from other characters and blogs before. Thank you for spending these enjoyable moments with us.

Thank you for being here.

//It's incredible to see you are still around! Hello, my name is Melanie and I was the mod of the themostfaithful blog once upon a time. I was looking through it and noticed you were not deactivated as many are and thought I would say hello. Thank you for all the good times back on Lucy. Had I the heart to return to her, I absolutely would. <3

[ hugs ] I am sorry for the VERY late late L A T E reply but it is good to hear of you! And I have not the heart to deactivate my account! All the posts would be gone too and I just can’t do that... But thank you too for all the good times with the Master and Lucy!! <333

I'm going to honestly say, Christmas time is busy, and i've been giving this account less attention then I have my other Doctor Who blog, i'm really sorry about that! I hope that after Christmas is done and I've settled in with work again, I'll be able to poke my head in here more again. Until then, thank you for your patience! You're brilliant. <3

The Master's 'Name Change'

I’ve seen many complaints about The Master changing his name to Mistress upon changing sex, and I have to say that complaining about this is ridiculous. He regenerates into a woman, new personality and body just like regeneration causes. Upon this change, she not only has a female form, but she apparently enjoys dresses, enjoys looking like a woman, enjoys doing things she apparently wouldn’t have done as a man in canon (such as following through with kissing The Doctor, considering The Doctor has shown a preference towards women in this area, not because The Master sees homosexual kissing as wrong or anything). She’s exploring being a woman and is immersing herself in it, not rejecting it.

So why would she reject the female version of ‘Master’ as her name? She’s already accepted all these other female attributes and doesn’t exactly seem bothered by them either. And as someone who has my own gender problems, I saw it as a victory. She doesn’t reject her female attributes and possibilities upon changing into a female simply because she used to be a male and used to conform to the male attributes she had before. She embraces them, which is what should be allowed for those going through transitions like that.

Many people write up all of these essays and metas about The Doctor and Gallifreyans and how they view gender and if it even matters. As a genderfluid person myself, all of these things are very intriguing to me. When you have a body that could actually change into the opposite sex unexpectedly, how does one go about your gender? Here we have The Master taking on a female gender role upon gaining a female body. She doesn’t reject it, she doesn’t try to fight it, she accepts it and embraces it. This is a very important way to see it and is, in its own way, a way of showing how one should accept their gender no matter what may happen to them and what society throws at them. I can see why people may twist this and think it’s sexist and conformist but it really isn’t, it’s actually hugely accepting.

I’m genderfluid, as I mentioned, and (perhaps a bit TMI), I happen to indulge in the master/slave kink at times. With my fluidity, what title do I prefer? To be honest, I don’t prefer either. Sometimes, I like to be called ‘Master’ and sometimes I like to be called ‘Mistress.’ Does that mean I dislike any title or am rejecting the other gender side of me when I choose one over the other? No. So, when she refers to herself as ‘Mistress’ instead of ‘Master,’ does that mean she is rejecting her old title? Not really. It just means right now, with a female body, she prefers the female version for her own reasons. And this should not be frowned upon. 

Let’s not forget she didn’t want The Doctor to hear about her before it was time, nor did she want him to catch on until she was properly ready for him to. She was dealing so directly with the aftermath of what he did that I’m not surprised if she’d simply embrace the new identity just to keep him in the dark for as long as possible either. This is another possibility. Not that she rejected her past name, but that she simply took on another to stay hidden.

So many people have been pushing for a female Doctor, and this is the way they’re trying to introduce the idea and see how it goes over with the public. They’ve taken a different hugely important, ongoing character and changed him from a man to a woman. How do you think they’ll see all of these complaints against the approach? Well, they certainly won’t take it as a go-ahead to make The Doctor a woman, that’s for sure.

I think we should all stop trying to change this into something sexist or homophobic and instead simply see it as it is. The Master is now The Mistress and that title change is her choice. Thank you and good day.

So it was Missy with the advertisement in the newspaper in Deep Breath.

That still makes me giggle tho.

On the other side.

Other side of what

the newspaper.

A scoff was given as he stared at the Doctor, brows furrowing. Why else would the Doctor keep him around? All that nonsense talk. Or was it because he still felt guilty about that one time. A time that seemed so long ago. They weren't frightened little children anymore. The Doctor Haag done what any frightened child would have done. The Master had long since forgiven him that.

Just that.

"Once." He repeated after the other, one eyebrow raising. We're they still? After all the things he had done? Oh, Doctor. " Am I really. If I am. Why not prove it."

Shhh.

Our muses are in the middle of a screaming match. Send “Shhh” for my muse’s reaction to yours suddenly kissing them to stop the yelling.

For a split second, the Doctor wasn’t entirely sure what had happened. One second, he’d been lost in an endless barrage of words, both of them flinging insults and pointed jabs at the other— the next, the Master was pushing him back against the wall, crushing his lips to his. 

He froze for a moment, unresponsive, several possible retorts still on the tip of his tongue, before his will crumbled and he tentatively allowed himself to kiss back.

"Oh yes. Because every tale needs its villain, doesn't it? And I can be yours. Your self made villain." he purred, raising an eyebrow when he felt the grip on his wrist tighten, almost daring him to continue doing that if he wanted to feel the consequences of it. Grabbing his wrist was one thing, but going to the point of pain, that wasn't an option.

"That's what it has been all about from the beginning. Keeping me with you. Locked in your TARDIS. Grounded like a school boy. Hasn't it? Go wherever you please and know that when you return, you're not alone. You're not the last of your kind."

Shhh.

The Master turned his head a bit, keeping his eyes fixed on the other before giving a light smirk at the expression on the other's face. Perfect. Absolutely brilliant.

He pushed away the amused smirk, instead giving him a look.

"Go on... You'd what, Doctor?"

"And make Death proud to take us."

     ”…If no other options remain,          I s’pose…”

[herestothedrums]

"But I did not so there is no need to worry." commented the male simply, giving a frown. "Oh please, Doctor. Don't play stupid with me." he spoke, brows furrowing as he looked the other over. Why did the other care? Sentiment? Ridiculous.

"The only reason you care is simply because you wish not to be alone. No need to pretend you care." he spoke, reaching out to flick the other's nose.

Shhh.

"Hmm..." he hummed softly, walking along, only to raise an eyebrow at the question where he had been. "Oh... You know. Here and there." he commented simply, lightly waving a hand in the air.

"Last had a watch to the Rings of Akhaten." he added, looking over at Sam. "Nothing too special."

"Knock it off!"(Hi ;_;)

"Oh come on. I thought you would be so delighted to see me again." commented the male, walking along with the other, flicking his nose once before pulling his cheek.  "You still look so much like me, yet you are not. Peculiar, isn’t it?"

[herestothedrums]

He took in a sharp breath when he felt the other's hand enclosing around his wrist, slowly stopping and turning back to look at him, raising an eyebrow. "... You're not done with me yet, Doctor? Is that so?" he spoke in an amused voice, leaning in. "And how so are you not done with me, hm? What more would you like to shout about? How we kept squabbling against each other through out our years? Or perhaps you want to reminisce about the good times."

Shhh.
