they're on a date and it is awful <3
The Master and The Rani seeing eachother while hanging with Jo and Mel and smirking like sharing an inside joke because they’re mutually thinking ‘ahh haha the Doctor isn’t the only one that can have human pets!’
And then they overhear Jo and Mel talking somewhere slightly further away, trading tales of their Time Lords, what they like eating, their favourite entertainment sources, their cute little quirks.
The Master and The Rani look at eachother again and realise forlornly that THEY are, in fact, the pets. They are resigned to their fates.
Jo: oh, he’s a big softie really! All bark and no bite, as they say!
The Rani: she’s kind of right
The Master: I have PLENTY of bite!
The Rani: you couldn’t even kill that one fuckass CIA agent, you were too busy being gay when she so much as MENTIONED the Doctor
Mel: yes! She’s just so cute when she works.
The Master: awwww, cute widdle Ushas with her widdle expewiments-
The Rani: I am going to throw you into the jaws of a ravenous t-Rex.
sorry I’m just obsessed with them as a duo. They’re so sibling-coded to me. (disclaimer: I do ship Mel and The Rani, but The Master and Jo is far more of a ‘girl and the feral tom cat she picked up off the street that bites everyone but her’ dynamic)
From Colin Baker and Bonnie Langford's Q&A with Big Finish :P
Mel having a secret affair with the Rani post-Reality War is actually the funniest thing ever to me because Mel is canonically a TERRIBLE liar but at the same time I don't think anyone would actually suspect that she's interested in the Rani like that, so everyone knows she has a secret lover but they are also never guessing the identity of that lover correctly
Oh, to be an evil scientist, modelling my new outfit after a girl I met once, tried to kill, and then fantasised sexually about for centuries afterwards.
Okay but hear me out: Mel getting the Rani a whole collection of chemicals with the labels removed and going,
“Oh dear, these appear to be unlabeled. If only someone could test and categorize them for me…”
And the Rani pretending to be deeply annoyed, but secretly thrilled at the prospect.
and yes the entire thing is a planned enrichment activity by Mel.
They should have allowed Mel in the bone palace. They could have fought again or we could have gotten more yuri. We were robbed. 😔
