If you ask the third doctor is he a man or a woman he says “I AM. THE DOCTOR” and starts doing the entirety of Who Is The Doctor including the music. playing loudly (but not too loud. comfy dancing loud) around you and youre like How Are You Doing That With Your Mouth

academy era weirdgirls!!
Tumblr media
top left is theta sigma, bottom right is koschei!
more info under the cut
first off, tysm to @kaetor for listening to me while i screamed about them and also for being a thoschei academy era weirdgirl believer. this is kind of an au?? kind of not?? depends on how much of timeless child you think is true. anyways. explanations.
how did they end up as weirdgirls?
theta sigma: i believe that during the academy era, theta sigma regenerated at least once. the theta sigma that most people draw (who i love so much also) who looks like a younger version of the first doctor is, in my mind, either the second or third time that theta has regenerated (again depends on how much u believe in timeless child), and this is what she originally looked like. why did she regenerate you might ask?? answer is i don’t know!! it could be many things, i like to think it was the byproduct of forced experimentation from the gallifreyan high council (because i’m insane) but like honestly it could also be because she fell down the stairs or something idk.
koschei: same koschei people always draw, not a different regeneration. she’s just gender-fluid, a bit younger, and got access to red hair dye (something something there’s a reason the doctors always wanted to be ginger).
this is all based on timeless child shenanigans and a one-off joke about the doctor and missy having been girls together on gallifrey, so take it all with a grain of salt. hope you like them though! i’ll be making more art of them, i’m deciding now that their official tag on my blog will be dweugals

Dude the way I'm eating your tags like they're my last meal on death's row!! I'll do the same here. Can you IMAGINE the standard Thomas sat when he became a father.
This wild, rowdy, firecracker of a man Gotham grew from golden soil and made him dirty, becoming a dad? Oh man.
Especially in the black and white era, where the most proficient job you could have in Gotham was a gangster. Second was a thief. Third was politician, but they mean the same thing anyway.
No man was particularly attached to fatherhood, " Yeah, I see my brats once a week. "
" Sheesh, you're lucky. I had to cut back work when my wife delivered. I just don't get why I have to do be there. What's your stance on that, Thomas? Does the husband have to be there?"
Thomas, smiling like a feral tiger: You know I delivered my baby, right?
OOOKAY, I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS!
Okay, be Thomas Wayne, doctor, philanthropist, old money, living in Gotham with your beautiful wife and your beautiful boyfriend, and you're having a son.
(Martha makes a funny joke about needing more girls in the house, and Alfred reminds her she throws most of her feminine relationships away after a month and a half.)
This is Gotham city. This place breeds corruption and desperation like a petri dish. You inherited the role of a founding family heir from a father you never liked and every secret organization and mobster has been trying to put you in their pocket since.
And now you have a beautiful, tender, delicate baby boy.
Absolute fucking terror.
This boy is going to be a target for every walk of life from the ground to the sky. This boy is going to get seductive offers to corruption every day, this boy is going to be a walking paycheck for anyone who's in trouble, this boy is small, and vulnerable, and yours, and he's meat and money to everyone else out there.
His future is altogether uncertain, but there's a million possibilities out there, and most of them are terrible, and it's the worst kind of anxiety.
On top of this, based on your fic, Thomas did not have any kind of healthy relationship with his dad.
This makes it so much harder. Now you're Thomas, worried to death that the world is gonna eat your son alive, and wondering what kind of father you're gonna be.
Fatherhood and manliness are two toxic chemicals that mix into the water as far as Thomas can tell. Maybe Tommy can sleep a little easier knowing Alfred will be there, knowing Bruce's other father won't be taking Tommy's shit, will also be looking out for his boy. Maybe having such a good person there, too, will protect Bruce from the boogeyman inside every other man that is Fatherhood.
Because Thomas never met a father he liked. Thomas hated Ben. And he's so terrified he's going to be just like him.
But besides all of this, Thomas is here, now, holding his newborn baby in his hands. It was crazy getting ready for it — everyone was asking him if it was really a good idea for him to be delivering his own baby, but honestly, he would never forgive himself if he missed that chance. It was crazy, because Martha, his absolute fireworks show, his light in the dark, was soldiering through all of the contractions and the pain all the way to the delivery room. And Alfred's just outside, putting out fires all over the manor as they get ready for a bump turned into a baby, Tommy's rock calmly pacing and bringing order and certainty to a day so very full of chaos and fear.
And it's a lot. It's so much. But in the scrubs, with the mask and the gloves, Tommy's hands are steady and he breathes evenly, and he holds his wife's and child's lives in those hands, and he loves them endlessly. Nothing can go wrong, and he wouldn't trade the chance to be there for both of them through this for anything.
He's scared, of himself, of Gotham, but as his little boy's growing up, he just takes the moments he can get and he does everything in his power to make his little mini-me boy as happy as physically possible. He takes every moment to give Bruce what he wanted at that age.

#'soon as she unblocks me the wedding is back on' i have READ the fic this is fully 100% canon
where's the fic
WHERE'S THE FUCKING FIC
*gestures at canon* i mean, is that NOT just colony in space? and/or what the master THINKS is happening in claws of axos, before the doctor cruelly reveals that the unblocking was but a feint, instrumentally pursued to get brief access to the master's metaphorical social media account, and thereafter reblocks him?
😂😅 but also, oop, while i was MOSTLY kidding with the tags, there is a part of me that is genuinely SURE i have indeed read this exact scenario before. alas, a large portion of my master/doctor bookmarks are lost to time, bc much of my classic who reading took place when i was a foolish teen who did not yet carefully catalog every single fic she read for future rereading purposes.
after rummaging around my tragically paltry and badly-organized three/delgado!master library, the closest i can find is Bagheera_san's Placebo Effect (what if we were FORCED to unblock each other because we accidentally soulbonded, which is 100% actually a real thing that can happen, so i guess the wedding might as well be back on ...) or x_los's Killing the Groundhog and its sequel Civil as an Orange (what if a time loop forced me to pursue creative ways to DM you, despite the block and my wounded pride). x_los also has a bunch of episode-divergent post-reconciliation/post-metaphorical-unblocking fic, in the same vein as civil as an orange, if that's what you're looking for!
i definitely can come up with versions of this for other master/doctor pairs. e.g. x_los's What Rassilon Hath Joined Together… (five/ainley!master, "Utter crack. After Five Doctors, the Doctor fails to escape Responsibility and, to add insult to injury, is presented with a long-outstanding marriage contract." (spoilers, but warning for sex pollen-type potential consent issues)). this may have been exactly what i was thinking of, actually - haven't reread it in years, so it might have morphed into third doctor era in my dim memory. there's also aralias's wonderful Wonderwall/Masterplan (eight/jacobi!master, mostly, "The problem with telling your still current husband that he may ask you for anything is that he may well do just that."), which is similarly close to fitting the bill?
but - i still could swear i have read this for three/delgado!master. hmm. i will ponder on this further. or maybe someone out there in the tumblr sphere recalls a similar fic and can share!
(also, hilariously, while searching for this, i discovered that i apparently wrote a very short version of this FOURTEEN YEARS AGO - there's a brief cameo of three and delgado!master in The Many Marriages of the Master, wherein circumstances force them to unblock each other and get married For The Good Of the Planet. but 1) the fic is largely about ten/simm!master - three and delgado!master are only in it for a single paragraph - and also 2) i was an actual baby when i wrote this, good lord.)

20 Questions for Writers
Tagged by @oakashandwillow
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 100, exactly. Some of them are ridiculously short (3SF) and some are compilations (also 3SF) so not quite sure how much that number means.
2. What's your total AO3 word count? 86,252
3. What fandoms do you write for? Interesting question. I think Narnia still has the highest number of works published, but I haven't written much of that in a while. Doctor Who and Star Trek also have a lot, as do Merlin and Star Wars. I've written a couple things for Queen, Good Omens, Goncharov. Most everything else is stuff I've only written one or two fics for. I'm currently publishing my first Elementary fic and hope to do more in that fandom. My interests are pretty fickle.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
The Pendragons' Protector. Merlin. Royal(ish) Merlin. First in my series of the same name.
Breathe. Star Wars. Clone Wars era Obi-Wan back on Melidaan fic. Part of my The Absent Third series.
Choices. Star Wars. The Young offer the Vod'e a choice. Next in The Absent Third series.
Warm Chocolate Milk. Star Trek. A childhood friends Kirk&Spock AOS AU. First in my Separate, Not Apart series.
Introductions. Star Trek. Baby James Kirk and baby Spock meet. Next in the Separate, Not Apart series.
5. Do you respond to comments?
As much as I can. Chronic illness (fatigue, pain, etc.) mean that I sometimes take a long time, and if there are only emojis I sometimes don't know what to say (I still really appreciate those, just not sure what the correct/acceptable response is - I overthink everything), but I try to respond to everything.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I don't really write angsty endings. Maybe High King of All Albion, but that's more bittersweet than anything else. Goodbye, my Goncharov/Katya fic is also kinda bittersweet because it's canon-compliant and that whole relationship is tragedy. I'm probably forgetting something, but I do tend more toward healing and fluff.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I think more of my fic endings would be categorized as reflective or peaceful, than happy. Maybe Meant for the Sky, which is a Biggs Darklighter lives AU? Or Coming to Terms, which is a Merlin magic reveal story with a very experimental style? Don't really know.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I think someone once told me one of my stories wasn't realistic, but I wasn't trying to be realistic, so...
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Nope. I'm the kind of aroace who is uncomfortable with sex. I skim smut that includes plot and skip smut that doesn't include plot but could never spend enough time with it to actually write it.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Yep. Most of my crazy crossovers don't actually make it all the way to a finished product. Actually, going through my AO3, I don't think any of my crazy crossovers made it there. I did a Narnia/Sandman for 3SF 2023? I have had daydreams about putting like six fandoms and three bands in a room and just kinda seeing what happenes, but those are too chaotic to write.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
I've translated some of my own fic? If that counts?
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nope. Too anxious to work with other people. Closest I've gotten is trying to write Star Wars movies with my brother when we were little.
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
I don't really ship things in the traditional sense. I focus a lot more on platonic relationships and get obsessed with the literary things about them. Parallels, etc. Also, y'know, codependence and other fascinating psychological disorders and traumas. I was pretty into Doctor/Rose for a while, otherwise platonic relationships that fascinate me include Spock & Kirk, Merlin & Arthur, Joanlock (Elementary).
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I have a massively extensive Tarsus IV (Star Trek) fic that I've been sorta working on for close to a decade now. I doubt the main fic will ever get fully written but some of the outlying stories might.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I'm pretty good at worldbuilding and those kinda long reflective, expository sections. Relationships are also a strength of mine.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Pacing and plotting. I'm pretty good at character arcs but plot is not a strong point.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I've played with this a lot, though mostly with fictional languages. I think if you're writing long paragraphs of dialogue, it's not going to work too well, but a sentence or phrase here or there can be done just fine in several different ways. Unless it's just a word or two that you use repeatedly, you do need to have some kind of translation somewhere, though.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Harry Potter, I think, but that was ages ago and Narnia and Doctor Who took over pretty quickly.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
I'm fairly proud of Plenty of Beds, a queerplatonic Joanlock fic, but High King of All Albion, Coming to Terms, and The Pendragons' Protector are all pretty high up there, too. (Apparently I do a lot of my best writing for Merlin. Who knew?)
Tagging @grace13star, @sharpestasp, @capybaraonabicycle, @ruinconstellation, @quillsink, @syrena-of-the-lake. Absolutely zero pressure and also tagging whoever wants to do this. Curious about other people's answers!

thanks @kazimirov sorry it caused you anxiety lol
last song played: my phone recommended me the new single from winnetka bowling league called breakfast for dinner. it was ok but not good enough to make it onto my playlists. otherwise i’ve mostly been spinning my halloween playlist 🎃
currently watching: my roommate and i are in the middle of the x files right now. we just finished season 7 last night which means all the good episodes are over :(
on my own i’m watching only murders in the building which has been an absolute delight! i only have three episodes left until i’m caught up 😱
currently reading: so i’ve been on an insane reading kick this week and i’m on my third book. so in the past few days i’ve finished the giver (i liked it but i think the kid’s leaving was ridiculously rushed and i don’t think i quite understand the ending), i’m glad my mom died (i’m still reeling from this one. general tw but if you haven’t read it yet i highly recommend it), and now i’m in the middle of my sister the serial killer (really like it so far, and i’m interested to see where it goes)
current obsession: the x files of course for the millionth time in my life. and also doctor who again (for the billionth time in my life) since i finally got my bestie to watch season 11. JW’s doctor has basically been rotating in my head for over a year at this point
last film watched: roommate and i have been watching october movies, like friday the 13th (my first time seeing it, and honestly it wasn’t good lol but the last jump scare Got me). and we watched the buffy the vampire slayer movie lmao (it was her first time, and i haven’t watched it in probably fifteen years. it’s bad don’t waste your time lmao) but my most recent film was the taylor swift eras tour film 💕 as a closeted swiftie i highly recommend going to see it! it’s a concert experience for only like $20 what’s not to love
okay i haven’t done one of these in years at this point and i apologize to all the people who have tagged me in them and i never followed through! so basically no pressure to do this @scarletpapillon @lunarlesbianlove @buttfacemcgee @red-k-alex @captainshyguy

fic stats game!
Rules: Give us the links to your fics with the most hits, second most kudos, third most bookmarks, fourth most comments, fifth most words, and your fic with the least amount of words.
thank you, @startanewdream!
most hits - walking on sunshine
this is a case of it doesn't matter if the fic is written well, but if it's posted at the right time. i remember reading BLOOD OF OLYMPUS in a blur and immediately writing this. it is not a good fic. it really isn't. between this and my other old pjo shame (yes, ia m talking about the hiding spot), i would rather stare directly into the sun than look at my high school era fanfics.
second most kudos - virtue is only virtue 
i have always had a soft spot for reincarnated lovers. it's all about that angst of river recognizing the doctor!!!!! theyw ere always this close to making it, but ultimately they were forever out of sync with each other. until...
third most bookmarks - Eggs 
again, not a good fic either! i was clearly in high school when i wrote this. still, i give myself some props for trying to subvert the whole "shovel talk" trope, which is something i dislike. also, it's weird looking back at this stuff and remembering when writing was so much easier. what happened to me?????
fourth most comments - no strange land 
the first fic posted for a marvellous light 😎
fifth most words - Gusts Come Around 
goddammit another old fic from high school. the prompt came from a forum on ffn, and reading the comments after my sat prep class (talk about suffering!!!!) made me want to turn it into a multi-chap fic. i would scribble ideas in between college visits, but everything sputtered out around freshman year because a) i became so tired and was unaware of several ongoing health issues b) fell out of the idea. weirdly enough, i have never felt guilty for dropping this fic.
least amount of words - my heart will go on
movie night for dresden and bob! i think this was a tumblr prompt? idk. i had a friend looking over my shoulder, telling me that it should have been princess bride instead. yeah, he's right about that.

Repressed Love: A DiaLuci Love Story
Chapter 18
Tag list: @astroseuss @zarakem @brielle043 @missloserqueen
•▪︎▪︎◇°●♡●°◇▪︎▪︎•
And so Satan moved into the castle. Diavolo made sure his almost-stepson had the best room he could offer; or rather, the best rooms.
Satan's room was connected via archway to a second room, about two or three sizes bigger than the room he was to sleep in. This was the room for all of his books, both the ones brought over from House of Lamentation and any new ones he might aquire.
This was a request from Lucifer, knowing how much his son cared for his books and therefore wanted a proper space for the blonde to put them that was close, where Satan could feel they are safe.
The father did give one rule for his son to abide by in his room though: the books stay in the library section; only books that he was actively reading were allowed in his bedroom section. The pride demon didn't want his son's new room to look like his old one. The blonde's room at HoL was a safety hazard and the dad couldn't tell you how many times his son has accidentally knocked over a big stack of books and was stuck under the avalanche that followed.
Lucifer...his heart couldn't handle anything else happening to his son right now so he was grateful the young man agreed to his rule.
Though the reason for this move was heartbreaking, Lucifer really did enjoy living with his son; the closer Satan was to him, the more at peace the man was. Both father and son needed each other now more than ever.
Each day during Audriana's nap, the father-son duo would be in the ancient library within the castle, the one with documents dating as far back as the late Primordial Era. It was part of the Royal family's duty to protect the rarest and most delicate written works, both those of nonfiction and fiction alike.
No one outside of the Royal Family have ever set foot in this specific library, a fact that was still technically true since Luce was now engaged to Diavolo, something the blonde was begrudgingly accepting.
Now, why were they in one of the Devildom's most protected locations, you may ask? For answers, of course.
Lucifer wasn't someone to give up easily, despite the guilty and hopeless thoughts that plagued him. Even if doctors didn't know enough about his son's condition, surely some record from the past did. This man was desperate to save his son.
However, Satan made no attempt to search for answers that might aid him. Instead, he read from old books and ancient parchment on topics from his wildest dreams. Even when dying, the wrath demon just needed to learn everything he could; it brought him comfort in his younger years and even now during a time he saw as his remaining, he found comfort in it.
Lucifer sighed.
"You're not even going to pretend to help me, are you?"
"This is your project; not mine." The blonde shrugged, as if this 'project' didn't concern his own life.
The blonde was sitting on a bench, currently reading a record from the one of the deeper sections.
The father huffed and decided to climb down from the latter he was on and sit next to his son.
"What did you decide to read then?"
"A personal account from the Loving Enlightenment period." He answered with a frown. "So many children were abandoned in the end...many more taken from their parents."
"Satan..." Lucifer frowned back. Somehow, it really didn't feel appropriate for him to read about such an event.
"So this is how humans were made." The young man said aloud, more to himself than his father before he looked up to meet his eyes. "Your Father really knocked up Lord Diavolo's ancestor just to abandon his new children in a third realm?"
Lucifer pursed his lips.
"From my understanding, yes." The older demon admitted. "Though it happened long before I was born."
The blonde's eyes dropped back to the page, though Lucifer could tell his son was not reading.
"Satan?"
The blonde pursed his lips, mirroring his father from moments ago.
"Were...were you ever tempted to?" He asked quietly. "When I was born, did you ever think of getting rid of me?"
After all, most children like him and his sister were cast aside as soon as they were born. Not many were strong enough to raise children born from their own trauma after all.
"Not even for a second." Lucifer answered, not missing a beat. "I...I was scared, confused even...but I have been raising children since I myself was a child. The idea of...sending you away. In my mind, that wasn't an option."
Lucifer still remembered that night, experiencing a pain so strong that he blacked out, only to wake up in a pool of his own blood with a tiny baby who wailed in pain and needed his comfort.
"You know...you were born in this very castle."
Satan raised his head, his whole body tense.
"I...what do you mean?"
"I gave birth to you my first night in the Devildom." Luce explained. "At first, we had no home here and had to live at the castle with Diavolo. I was still...well, what happened to my sister was obviously still fresh in my mind and I tried bearing that pain on my own. I retired early to my room because I just...couldn't keep my composure any longer. I was angry. Angry at myself for failing my sister, angry at my Father for starting this and wanting her dead. Then you grew and fought your way out of me, so strong yet so helpless...and that's when Diavolo found me."
The blonde's eyes widened at this, but chose not to interrupt his father.
"He knew what happened to me better than I did." The pride demon gave a small laugh, smiling with his eyes as he thought back. "He could just sense I wasn't okay and made sure to check on me. I still remember how worried and flustered he was from finding me like that. Despite it all, he still healed me up, got both of us cleaned, and never left my side that night. I barely knew him nor did he know me, but he worried for me all the same, took care of me when I needed it, despite the fact that no one has ever taken care of me before."
"Why?" His son asked. "Why would he care when he didn't know you yet?"
"Because that was who Diavolo was; who he is. He's more angelic than most angels." Luce was smiling, truly smiling as he thought of his fiancé and it took his son off guard. "He could of let me die alone in that room; he did not. He could have let me lay awake and worry about you all night on my own; he did not. He laid with me all night, assuring me that I was fine, that you were fine...that I could give you a good life. He comforted me and wouldn't let me despair on my own. That...that was the night I fell in love with him..."
Of course, Lucifer was attracted to the prince long before that night. Luce even knew Diavolo for a while when he was still an angel; the night his sister almost died was not their first meeting...just the one that changed everything.
Satan... didn't know how to respond to all of this, to his father speaking so lovingly about...him.
Luce looked down at his son, noticing a scowl on his face.
"Satan?" The father gave a worried expression to his son, who turned away from him.
"I don't like him." The blonde admitted. "I...I never cared either way for him before, but since...since my body started whatever it's been doing, I've hated him. I don't like him near you two."
Lucifer watched his son for a long moment, trying to find the right response to such crushing words.
"Why...why do you feel this way?"
Satan gave a bitter laugh.
"Since when have I ever understood my own emotions?"
"Well, what else do you feel?" His dad encouraged, wanting to help his son through this.
"I...I don't know." He admitted. "My chest gets tight around him. Every time he gets close to you or Audriana, I want to break free from my skin. I could be happy, or at least content in the moment, and then he walks into the room and I feel like I'm being choked. I feel like...like I need a peaceful moment with you. It's just supposed to be us; you, me, and Audri."
"And why must it only be us?"
"Because..." Satan closed his eyes. "Because we feel like a family. I never felt a part of one before...when I was younger, I didn't think you wanted me and I sure as hell knew your brothers didn't."
"Satan..." The pride demon pulled his son into a hug. "We are a family. I am your father. Audriana is your sister. My brothers are your uncles. And Diavolo...he's going to be your stepfather, but he's cared about you since the day you were born."
The blonde didn't respond, just buried his face into his father's embrace.
The two stayed like that for a minute or two till the alarm on Lucifer's D.D.D. went off.
The older man pulled back to reach into his pocket and turn off the alarm.
"You're sister will be waking up soon." Luce explained. "Do you remember where you got that book from?"
The blonde nodded and rose to put the book back so they could head back to Audriana's room.

Reasons I love the Spymaster #65: Ra-Ra-Rasputin!
Find my full series under the HELP I WUVS HIM tag or at the why I love Dhawan Master tag.
#65: Ra-Ra-Rasputin!
The Spymaster's turn as a dweebily dancing Rasputin in The Power of the Doctor has caused a collective squee among viewers that even now rings in the air.
Tumblr media
So why is the Spymaster impersonating a Russian religious fanatic?
First, the song. Obviously. Clearly the Spymaster is hiding in 1916 as Rasputin solely so he can cue up this tune and get his self-choreographed [with self-designed disco lighting!] groove on in front of the Doctor when he has pulled her back to this era to force her regeneration.
We know this because that is exactly the kind of person he is: a self-dramatizing dork with an interest in gags with very long setups.
That being said, he has other reasons for imitating Grigori Rasputin.
Let's look at them, pulling from an earlier essay I wrote about what the Spymaster wants.
Born to Siberian peasants in 1869, the real-life Grigori Rasputin had little formal education, but he took a pilgrimage in 1897 that caused his religious conversion, teetotalism, and vegetarianism. His religious fervency, charisma, and alleged “strange manners” fascinated influential religious people in St. Petersburg. These influential people allowed him access to the city’s elite salons and, eventually, with the endorsement of the upper classes, Rasputin became close to Tsar Nicholas and Tsarina Alexandra.
For a time, Rasputin served as confidant and advisor to the royal family, particularly the tsarina and her kids, who trusted him implicitly. Rasputin lived with the tsarina and her kids, instructed the kids in religion, and apparently healed her hemophiliac son Alexei on several occasions. Eventually objection to Rasputin grew, and there were several assassination attempts. One of them succeeded.
Even back then, people were suspicious of Rasputin. They thought that he had undue sway over the tsar and the tsarina, especially because he regularly manipulated them into getting what he wanted. This creeped people out, along with the rumors that Rasputin was banging the tsarina, the tsarina's daughters, other noblewomen, etc., etc., etc.
Second, the Spymaster enjoys historical Rasputin's similarities to himself. Rasputin's real-life reputation fits in perfectly with the image of the Master, first established with Delgado, as a charismatic, compelling individual with unsettling powers of mind control.
Tumblr media
Third, the Spymaster appreciates historical Rasputin's position in the Russian court as royal family friend, advisor, and healer. At least temporarily, the tsar and the tsarina and family accepted historical Rasputin, trusted him, and granted him great power. He used that power [supposedly] to alleviate their son’s suffering.
By assuming Rasputin’s identity, then, the Spymaster temporarily experiences the friendship, loyalty, and affection that the tsar and tsarina gave to Rasputin. In this way, he has the chance to feel the awe, love, and devotion that companions often show to the Doctor.
Furthermore, being Rasputin allows the Spymaster an opportunity to improve a kid’s health [or at least to take responsibility for alleviating his symptoms]. In his guise as a Russian mystic, the Spymaster thus acts as a helpful provider of health care – i.e., a doctor…or a Doctor.
