Coming off the fae thing, realised something often underutilised with Missy is the Master’s hypnotism/mental influence etc. ((not writing your story obv. but just imagined missy pulling this with yaz, but deliberately laying it on thick enough to notice, then yaz realising 13 has 100% used this to win arguments with her before lol))

ohhhhhhh my god juicy

i keep calling it telepathy but i think it's a little more than that but ive got missy in yaz's brain making her see and feel and understand things in multiple scenes in multiple ways, mostly consensual, and mostly making it deliberately obvious so yaz notices bc thats part of the game; 'yasmin look at me poking your brain imagine what more i could do with this power' but i hadnt thought of yaz then actually imagining what more she could do with that power and turning to 13 like wait a minute. missed an opportunity to make 13 worse dammit

you dont mind if i try to find a way to still get this in somewhere do you?

thinking out loud now feel free to tune out but 13's disadvantage here is that im pretty sure missy can get in someone's brain and move stuff around and get out and never be noticed. she makes herself noticeable to yaz. i dont think doctor headbutt telepathy can do it unnoticed. if she has been doing this for two seasons then the only reasons she hasnt been caught is because

1) the fam probably wouldnt think to blame something outside of themself when they did something that confused them or when they change their mind about something and then later go 'wait why did i change my mind, i change my mind back' or when their memories go a bit wonky

and 2) if it did get egregious enough that they would be like 'okay this is definitely not age/illness/trauma/grief, this is something else messing with me' the first thing they would think to blame was something alien, not the doctor. they would be like 'alien parasite' or 'planet that messes with people's heads', you know?

especially because i dont think that before 12x7 she ever gave any indication that she could do something that directly mind controlly? not 100% sure on that though

#thinking about what it would look like #i dont think i'd make yaz confront 13 about it #i think it'd be a quiet sort of delayed realisation #like a couple hours after missy when shes alone in her room #and then suddenly doubting like. 2-3 years of interactions #and then maybe i'd make 13 try to do it again in a fight and /then/ yaz would call it out as it happens #and then you can play with does 13 back off and apologise. back off and deny. or double down #would depend on the circumstances. i think - lets be nice - her first instinct would be to back off and apologise #not apologise as in 'i know what i did was wrong and i wont do it again'#but apologise as in 'i know what i did was wrong and i will definitely do it again if i think i can get away with it'#but i definitely dont think it's impossible that she either denies or doubles down #just drive her a little more into a corner and she would #'did you make me agree with you just now'#'no'#'would i believe you right now if i couldnt still feel your fingers in my brain'#the doctor winces. yaz: 'thought so'. 13: 'no i didnt mean-!'#see the problem im creating here is im not sure if this breaks too much trust #im not sure if it breaks any trust at all actually but im also not sure if putting that lack of trust out in the open like this #makes the relationship unsalvageable. okay not true it does break a little trust #but not a whole lot i think. i dont think yaz would be surprised exactly. unsettled but not surprised i think #and i think she'd have a way to deal with it. especially with what shes been learning with missy. she'd have a framework #which she wouldnt have if she realised this in like s12 #'you keep warning me about her but she ASKED doctor. and she LISTENED when i told her not to do it again'#thasmissy
