castrovalva... oh i really liked that one

i spent most of episode 3 and 4 convinced shardovan was the master

but at the last second omg behind the old man beard i realised who he was it was a great joy

interesting that in survival the doctor saw the master turning into a cat and literally the next scene he’s warning ace about the cheetah people that “they can be dangerously attractive”. yeah

ooh lots of intriguing things here... tell me about accidental baby acquisition? :D

Started writing this as a response to my @keepfandomweird bingo card and the prompt, you guessed it, 'accidental baby acquisition'. And, I asked myself, who would be the best, the funniest possible pairing to accidentally acquire a baby? And I answered myself, why, obviously Six and Ainley!Master.

Baby mysteriously shows up in the Master's TARDIS and the Master is alarmingly happy to play at being the creature's father, all tutting at the Doctor about best practices and sneering at the Doctor's clumsy, oafish attempts at handling the child, tch. The Doctor is ALARMED by this. And deeply irritated. And definitely not charmed. At all.

A snippet!

The Doctor was beginning to develop a distinct paranoia that the baby had somehow been the Master's doing. However unwise their occasional trysts— and while he was perfectly willing to concede that they were unwise, that was somehow never sufficient to stop him actually engaging in them in the moment— the Doctor had at least been under the impression that there was no danger of accidental procreation. Other species might need to worry about contraceptives; the Time Lords had done so much fiddling with their own genome over the centuries that it was virtually impossible to accidentally conceive a child. Obviously, in this instance, neither of them had literally conceived the child, but it had been two weeks, and the Master was showing alarming signs of contentment with fatherhood. It would be just the kind of byzantine plot he'd concoct.

kitty cat doing daily affirmations in the mirror. my mind is strong. i am not ruled by this disease. i will hunt and trap and destroy the doctor.

[goldenzingy46]

big fan of that early smile from the master in t5d. he goes :3 and he hasn't even become a kitty cat yet

[death-by-sc0tland]

making my way through classic who episodes with the master and a side effect i'm experiencing is my increased ability to recognise the master in whatever fuckass disguise he's wearing. like you can't fool me i can recognise anthony ainley's bone structure atp

Survival is so fucking crazy I acctually forget The Master was in the story and cackled at the reveal at the end of the episode
