Petition for a spin-off of Doctor Who called Master Why, starring the Master as they try (and fail) to take over the universe, blow up planets, and, most importantly, get the Doctor’s attention.

// “I did God’s work in the hope that He would save me” oosh man that hits the mun hard.
this does not arouse my muse or me:
it makes us paralyzed with rage
“It must be comforting playing that role, hiding behind a title.”
Master vc: @ me next time Theta.
And then James is like “just as you hide behind Doctor”
and my mind IMMEDIATELY goes to the phone convo between Ten and Simm!Master in Sound of Drums, SOMEONE DO A GIF COMPARISON????
// HOOOOO my god the look she gives James when he says “hold your tongue or I will cut it out”
//Okay honestly here is a good example of “the Doctor is not a perfect person.” Her clinical, scientific fascination, her detachment from the fact that this girl’s beloved grandma is gorged with alien infested mud, while she rambles off excited question after question, almost makes her seem totally heartless. It’s Yaz who has to bring her back from it, and in the moment remind her “hey knock that off.”
Is it evidence that she’s on the autism spectrum and ADHD, very neurodivergent and therefore kind and compassionate but in the moment, too excitable to recognize the emotions others are feeling, beyond a cursory “I’m sorry about this, Willa?” Or does it mean she’s again being a self-absorbed jerk? That’s something to deconstruct. But the point is, the writing is excellently showing that she is flawed, but redeemably so.
//Also can we just stop and acknowledge that Chibnall gave a WOMAN reins over the witch trials episode? Once again LET THE AFFECTED POPULATION WRITE ABOUT THE ISSUE, IT MAKES IT MORE LEGIT, MORE BELIEVABLE, MORE REAL. That’s how you do multiplicity! ❤
// “Wanna come?”
“Not really.”
Okay honestly though this is a huge new Thing in the series’s writing that I love: openly admitting that people do the right thing but not always guns blazing, totally taken by the Doctor’s inspirational speeches. Some people are still scared because they’re HUMAN. Which has the effect of making the Doctor seem more relatable too: basically good, and kind, but not some infallible larger than life parody of herself, like we’ve seen in previous eras ( the weirdly Jesusy Ten in Last of the Time Lords, for instance, or the entire unapologetic “it’s okay because he’s the Doctor” Moffat era).
