Was having a crash out over the state of the show then remembered I could watch spyfall/timeless children/power of the doctor whenever I wanted and a rainbow appeared in the sky to a chorus of birdsong

[how-masterful]

i know part of the point of the power of the doctor was that yaz wouldn't join the master but i think after everything she went through towards the end of her relationship with the doctor and all the shit she probably found out AFTER they parted ways i think the master should start a team of disillusioned companions that were done dirty by the narrative (and the doctor themselves)

i KNOW the master's jealousy and disregard for the human race probably wouldn't allow them to share this pain because their experience with the doctor is far superior and complex etcetc bUT it would be funking hilarious and cool to have them show up like

The real reason the master hasn't been brought back yet is because there's no universe where he wouldn't beat the vlinx to death with a hammer and RTD spent too much on the prop

Nuwho doctors meeting each other: HI BESTIE 🤗 let's trade compliments 🥰 and maybe lightly make fun of each other for our silly quirks 😝

Classic who doctors meeting each other: the bbc broadcasting standards are the only thing preventing me from calling you a slur.

Laying across a velvet sofa from a planet the human tongue can't pronounce, reading a book that, without the help of the Tardis, the human brain can't comprehend. Bathing in the warm glow of a roaring fireplace, you hold the Master in your arms. Despite your current orbit around a far-off solar system, the weight of the Masters body atop your own keeps you grounded. He's always so tired, yet he never sleeps. He doesn't like where his mind goes when he sleeps. So he rests, as he calls it, laying his head against your chest and spreading across your form like a blanket, contorting himself to your shape. One arm clutching you, another curling into himself. No words, no schemes, just the gentle crackle of a fireplace and the turning of pages in rhythm.

However despite his protests of sleep, his insistence that he's merely removing visual stimulation to concoct a genius plan, you recognise the pattern of his breathing: the way his twitching hands go still, the way his lashes softly flutter against his cheeks. You never mention this to him, fearing you'll shatter the delicate glass of the moment. But inside, unspoken, you thank him for trusting you like this. For allowing himself to be so... you don't quite know what to call this yet. Whatever this is, slowly growing between you, curling around your ribs and lodging itself within your chest.

Maybe one day, when curiosity decides to take on the cat, he'll seep inside your memories and find your gratitude in place of a name. He'll see the quiet, and the calm, and the warm, and he'll know how much this unnamed thing means to you. In the infinite universe, in his infinite machine, the only place his two hearts can beat in peace is in your arms. And maybe, if he's feeling kind, he'll let you keep holding him. Kind to you, or kind to himself, he won't be so sure. But the fire will be warm, and your heart will beat just right beneath his temple. And if you promise to keep holding him the way you are tonight, The Master might just allow himself to dream.

'he would not fucking say that' maybe he would if he knew he was starring in his very own porn fic for the sole purpose of delighting some freaks on archive of our own dot org. maybe he'd play it up for the cameras. ever consider that

We never gave Roger Delgado enough credit for being able to play the master watching someone get eaten by a plastic couch with all the seriousness of a car accident

Gonna be real I didn't even read down the rest of the list you all know who I voted for

[how-masterful]

You know what. I take it back. I'm glad the master didn't appear in the reality war. I'm glad he's stuck in a golden tooth picked up by a mysterious hand with red nail polish. I'm glad we don't know where he is. Because after what he did to the rani I do not trust RTD with the master. I do not trust him to give the character the respect and truthful, meaningful characterisation he deserves.

[how-masterful]

He deserved better

[how-masterful]

I am sick and fucking tired of doctor who constantly ignoring the fact the master IS RIGHT THERE. THE DOCTORS OLDEST FRIEND. GREATEST FOE. GREATEST FAILURE. HIS DARK OPPOSITE. The master is literally RIGHT THERE IN A GOLDEN TOOTH AND THE DOCTOR KNOWS THIS but RTD is too busy with the whole "oh woe is me I'm the last timelord and now you're the last time lady aren't we a sad pair :(" NO YOURE NOT BECAUSE THE MASTER IS RIGHT. THERE. STOP IGNORING THAT THE DOCTOR K N O W S THE MASTER IS STILL AROUND AND DO SOMETHING WITH HIM!!!!!!!!!!

[how-masterful]

They're trying to break out like 12 did but because they're a little bitch every time they punch the wall they go "ow oweee ow ow" and give up for a few hours

i bet the master is feeling soooo left out in that tooth right now. the FOMO must be crazy
