Davros and Missy finally meet! It's a huge moment in Doctor Who history, and we're discussing it on this week's episode.

Also, Missy has a daughter? There's a lot of lore in this episode...

I've seen some people talking lately about how fast clara goes from hating missy to working with her and it honestly never even occured to me that anyone would have a problem with that because its always been something i absolutely loved

Not only does it somewhat reflect on Clara's character and her longstanding ability to look past morally terrible acts, but its a really neat parallel to Missy and the doctor's relationship, except with their own personal twist. Because although they do the same back and forth 'enemies to allies to enemies' thing, its always clear that Missy holds more power (clara is the witch's familiar)

I am a HUGE short story fan, and a short horror writer, and let me tell you TAMSYN MUIR IS A GENIUS! She is listed on joint first of my favourite short fiction writers alongside Bora Chung and Angela Carter. Her writing isn’t fast paced, its still very similar to that of the Locked Tomb in that it feels domestic sort of? Like you’re being told the story rather than reading it? 

Anyway you need to read my favourite two: 

Chew - (cw) SA, cannibalism sort of, WWII aftermath, horror

The Magician’s Apprentice - (cw) cannibalism, horror

Playing Asras route first was a mistake and broke me.

re-reading the locked tomb, and i'm thinking about how harrow identifies alecto as a "girl" rather than a "woman."

obviously, john had other sources of inspiration... but did you know that the original barbie doll was only supposed to be nineteen years old?

Got to watch my sister watching The Magicians Apprentice for the first time and her gasp when the boy said his name was Davros was so satisfying
