the fact that he makes her kneel as a power move only to immediately get down on the floor with her says a Lot about him i think. not just that but also the fact that his whole 'thing' is "i want to bring the doctor down to my level" and yet so many of their interactions have him bringing himself down to her level. almost as if the last time they met it was the doctor trying to make the master more like them?
The Spymaster constantly leaning down to remain on the Doctor's eye level, even kneeling to continue on a conversation with her, is such a fascinating part of his and the Doctor's relationship but it's also soooo funny. Man is finally taller than his ex but now it's Weird so he has to keep on bending down to not be above her eye level.

I think it would be great if Adric and Nyssa had a bunch of stuff in their heads that they think is like earth culture but which is actually just Australian

I know I’ve said this before, but I continue to be fascinated by the companion dynamic of Romana specifically, because to her the Doctor is a mentor and friend, but she isn’t reliant on him to either get where she needs to be or survive out in the universe the way every other companion is. Which to me is more interesting than just the fact that she understands his technobabble

ANOTHER RIVER IS PATIENCE TRUTHER LETS GOOO
latest crazy doctor who theory of mine that i’m going feral over is the possibility of Patience and River Song being the same character. i know it sounds insane but the evidence is there for those with eyes…
-we don’t actually know Patience’s real name
-they both have pseudo Time Lord genetics while being able to regenerate
-they’re both Doctor’s wife and both claim to know the Doctor’s name
-Patience says she was born, not Loomed, meaning she was born outside of Pythia’s Curse which of course River was
-Five is told he’ll meet Patience again after she ‘dies’ and Five himself does actually meet and travel with River for a while soooo
-Patience can fly TARDISes /really/ well despite coming from a time where TARDIS travel is uncommon and ofc River can fly the TARDIS perfectly 👀
-neither character have much modesty lol
there is stuff in Infinity Doctors that sort of contradicts the idea buuutt that story is is another universe so idk if i’d count it against the headcanon. but just imagine River somehow escaping the Library and regenerating into Patience… the angst potential is immense

i love the master’s plan in the tv movie. like if he had waited five more minutes for seven to take him to gallifrey he could’ve stolen the body of any time lord. like literally anyone with 12 regenerations left. but no. this bastard goes out if his way to NOT do that. to risk his entire lifeforce crashing the doctor’s tardis, stealing an unsuitable human body and fucking with the eye of harmony (because it went SOOOO well for him last time) just so he can have the doctor’s body. the master could have stolen the president’s body and had gallifrey all to himself but he CHOSE to go after his old ass boyfriend who’s over halfway through his own regeneration cycle. and he didn’t even plan seven’s death either so he actually wanted to steal a body that the doctor himself admits was almost dead anyway. had the master had his own way he would’ve turned into that cum snake, crawled down seven’s oesophagus and then… what? die in a week and regenerate back into the doctor? 10/10 plan. what a moron. i love him
#i am being dramatic#but my point still stands#i love the movie it’s so silly#roberts master#seventh doctor

Not my usual content, but I made something I wanted to share...
Edit: Now with an ID from @a-captions-blog! Thank you for writing it!
[Art description: A Pokémon-themed comic featuring OP as a Pikachu. Long description follows.
1. The tips of Pikachu’s ears are shown with text that says, ‘I’m a Pikachu / My world is filled with lots of cool stuff. Sometimes it feels like anything is possible!’ Under this is a collage showing a Charizard, a Pidgeotto, a Nidoking, an Eevee, and an Ivysaur, all in the background as the Pikachu looks up in wonder. Text reads, ‘All sorts of types, all sorts of attacks, all sorts of Pokemon.’
2. Text says, ‘But...only two ways a Pikachu’s tail could look.’ Two boxes in the upper corners show the male and female Pikachu tails, respectively. The male has a rectangular end to his tale, and the female has a heart-shaped end to hers. Text continues, ‘So then, what am I?’ A large drawing of the narrator Pikachu is shown, with an arrow pointing to their tail, whose end is split somewhat like scissors and doesn’t match either the male or female drawing above.
3. Text says, ‘Too pointy to be [female], too much of a V-shape to be [male]. I thought there was something wrong with me.’ Under this are three cascading panels showing the Pikachu from below at an angle emphasizing their tail. The second panel shows mel further away, and in the final panel she have disappeared entirely. Text on the panels reads, ‘I felt / very, very, very / alone.’
4. Text says, ‘But then, something happened. I found others like me.’ The art shows the narrator reaching out to another Pikachu. Under this are three other Pikachu. One has a rounded tail, one has a tail that has been stitched up to be rectangular, and one has a tail with a slight spike at the tip.
5. Closeups are shown of each of the tails from the previous panel, with text that says, ‘Round tails, scarred tails, spiky tails.’ Under this is a drawing of the Pikachu all hugging with lightning coming from their cheeks. Text reads, ‘They told me nothing was wrong with me, and I wasn´t alone anymore.’
6. Text says, ‘There are many ways a Pikachu’s tail can look. I’ve heard there’s at least over 30 different variations.’ Under this are two panels. The first panel shows the narrator lying on their back on a background of male and female symbols. Text reads, ‘Some days are still hard.’ In the second panel, the Pikachu with the scarred tail is shown with text that says, ‘My friend tells me her tail used to look just like mine. It was taken from her.’
8. The narrator is shown sitting and looking upwards. Text reads, ‘Some trainers won’t accept Pikachu that aren’t [male] or [female]. They alter our tails without our consent. But things are getting better. We are making change. We’re fighting so that our tails will be left alone.’ Under this is a panel showing the four Pikachu running happily towards the right. Text reads, ‘We’re all on a spectrum. Every tail looks different; anything is possible.’
The final text reads, ‘This is a comic about intersex people.’ The watermark in the lower right says @ PostManic. \End descriptions

have a surviving group of them (led by Romana) living on one of Gallifrey’s moons or something. also bring back the General because she’s such an interesting character and was criminally underused. i think it’s important that Gallifrey itself stays in ruin though, at least at first, so we can still see the consequences of what’s gone on there in the last few eras
you could do a whole multi series sub-arc with the Doctor begrudgingly popping in every now and then on the Time Lords as they rebuild. could even include Rassilon somehow since he’s still kicking about at the end of the universe
Okay, now I’m curious, how would you deal with the time lords in new who if you were showrunner
#basically i’d do hell bent but good#oh and i’d 100% have timeless child angst#particularly between the doctor and romana. there’s a lot of potential there#gallifrey#doctor who

So… this may seem random but the way Narvin is starting to idolise Romana, basically equating her person with the presidential office or even Gallifrey as a whole combined with all the parallels I’ve been seeing between Gallifrey and late republic/early imperial Rome has made me think of Romana as a genius loci, the literal personification of her planet.
So, long story short, I decided to draw Romana with iconography matching that of the personification/goddess Roma:


Bonus Victory-goddess!Leela sketch and Narvin as genius populi, the personification of the People:
