i love having characters just say stuff. did you know you can do that? doesnt even have to be true, you dont even need to know if it's true, just that they believe it. anyway. missy voice: children love me

#children love being hung from the ceiling by their feet #i love missys children thing #i think bc to me it feels like a reaching for something slightly...like....inorganically #or. no #thats not it #but it's like the woman thing. it's. an image. an idea of something #but at the same time it's not about the optics #like it's not that she wants to present the image of a mother. at all #like shes a caretaker of children a lot. theyre never HER children you know what i mean?#and i also think theres like real needs or desires that are being expressed by how she gravitates to children #and specifically in this position to be a mentor to them in some way #easy power of course #and shaping a person #and i think theres rebellion against gallifrey in it in a way #i think she'd raise little anarchists #i also think it's fun if she repeatedly claims that shes good with children #i dont know if theres much basis tbh for all my missy&kids thoughts i need to relisten to her audios but #i have her claim this kind of a lot #and never in a situation where the other party has any way to verify #they have never SEEN her interact with children #or with the doctor it's like. yes maybe Once Upon A Time but theyre 2 millennia older now who knows maybe she HAS changed you know?#thats the recurring thing wiht missy maybe she HAS changed #but even if she hasnt i dont think the doctor would even be sure if it's true #both bc biased judgement clouded by emotion And i dont think it's entirely clear with missy #it's sort of like. yes shes good with children unless you saw the hanging the child from the ceiling incident #then maybe you wouldnt think so #but if you just missed that #anyway #i like having her claim it anyway #i think it's an expression of something too
