sometimes I feel like when I'm watching 'doctor who' my brain finds narrative connections to the master that aren't actually intended by the writers

and then sometimes the villain of the week taunts the doctor by playing the master's theme

i love unrequited love, i love blind devotion, i love guard dogs. i love being desperately obsessed with the object of your affections. i love when devotion rots into cruelty, i love when love doesn't know any better, i love when love is ugly. i love defanging and declawing yourself just to be loved. i love when a character will wait for the next time they will be loved like a bird or a dog at their beloved’s door. i love when love is insanity and by the LORD do i love betting on losing dogs

i’ll gladly eat my words if i end up being wrong but i am POSITIVE that jinkx monsoon’s character is not the master. naming her “the maestro” has to be a misdirect. the master has had a prominent role in five of the last six seasons and i’d be hard-pressed to believe RTD would bring the character back so soon. THAT BEING SAID. if the master doesn’t come back at some point in fifteen’s run and make out with the doctor onscreen for real i might commit a crime

imagine: you get your memories back after years of amnesia to find out your whole species is dead and earth doesn’t exist anymore. that the only thing left of your culture is your weird ex and his busted honda civic that barely even works that he stole from the government when he was 13. And he’s been taking members of an alien species for trips in his honda civic and they’re all like “woah it’s so cool” and you get upset because it’s NOT COOL it’s a honda civic, the turn signals don’t even work “wow it can go up hills” yeah OF COURSE IT CAN GO UP HILLS EVERY CAR COULD DO THAT. but they’ve never seen a car before so everything it does is the coolest thing ever. And your ex’s only tool is a fucking screwdriver which is somehow also cool to this dumbass alien species even though it’s a fucking screwdriver so you just look like an idiot screaming about how none of this is even cool it’s actually really shitty but your whole planet is gone so you can’t even prove it but also you’ve had a constant drumming sounding in your head since you were 10 slowly driving you insane. I would become evil too.

The poem is referred to as "To His Coy Mistress." !!!!!!

Thus, though we cannot make our sun Stand still, yet we will make him run.

To know that they will never be able to truly escape time, but they're going to try..... it's them. It's Them.

This is sick actually, who was gonna tell me the title "World Enough, And Time" is a phrase from poem about a man who would be willing to wait forever for a woman to love him, but since they don't have forever he asks her to love him now.

Like hello?? Who decided to name the episode that??? The first part of the 2 parter where the doctor believes missy will finally stand with him but never finds out she chooses to??? I'm going insane.

Drax: Let's play Fuck, Marry, Kill. Koschei: okay. Drax: Theta- Koschei: Theta. Drax: I wasn't fin- Koschei: Theta. All of them. Final answer.

I need a nu-who master to meet Jo Grant. I need them to be going feral, only to see Jo Grant and stop immediately, fix themselves up, and say “Hello Ms Grant” like they weren’t just breaking Geneva conventions a minute ago. It would fix me actually

on the one hand, it's so funny how every time the doctor has to introduce the master to new companions they never fail to mention that they used to friends. “this is my evil archenemy but we were in the academy together, we used to run in the red grass before the murder attempts” even though we literally just saw the master committing multiple atrocities.

but. on the other hand. the tragedy of it all. it's the doctor saying: this is the site of grief that's now a festering wound. this is scar tissue still tender to the touch, this is the relentlessness of memory. this is a ghost, this is a monster, this is a haunting, this is an unburied grave. this is love as terror, love as horror, love that came back from the dead as a hunger. this is what it means to remember. this was my first love and the only thing i cannot outrun.

and then we cut to the master who is committing more atrocities

the master always has some cyberman shit going on around them (let’s be real, the toclafane count. they’re just ball-shaped cybermen). saw a post last night that said something in fewer words along the lines of… it’s another one of their warped-mirror-of-the-doctor attributes. the doctor loves humanity — the master loves humanity stripped of all its humanity

the creation of cybermen is almost like a reassurance to them; “proof” that these weird apes that their ex is irresistibly in love with really do become, with a few tweaks and upgrades here and there, nothing more than programmable easily-manipulated murderous drones. because if they dared to look past their prejudice, to see humans for all their beauty and strength and diversity — and missy almost got there, she tried — they would understand what’s drawn the doctor away from them. and that scares them more than anything

underrated master moment: when she’s running away from davros (after poking him in the eye because the doctor referred to him as his arch-nemesis instead of her) and calls for the doctor like this

absolutely obsessed w the doctor just seeing the master every time and going “i could fix them. by putting them in a cage. and keeping them with me forever and ever. so they could never leave me. but they’re definitely the one with problems. i’m totally fine.”
