//also i love that photoset so much but it also makes me sad because it throws into relief what the master genuinely believes about himself, that the doctor is everything good and wanted and he is everything evil and unwelcome and i just. i wish that in canon the doctor would show the master that this doesn’t need to be such a forced dichotomy.  they can bleed into each other’s turfs.

I aint gonna articulate this right but I’ve noticed there’s this weird sub culture on tumblr where it’s frowned upon to say anything positive about your life. Like occasionally I see someone post something like “I love my job so much” and a few responses are like “wish I could find a job :/” or “must be nice to not have depression” and it’s really strange. A lot of people are pulling themselves out of dark places or finally figuring out how to be happy (no easy feat) and they don’t need you projecting your own demons on their moments of happiness they wanted to share.

//And you know, I’ve thought about it too, and as much as I want the Doctor to “snap” for the sake of high drama, I also don’t think it would be appropriate in this season. 

Now I could be totally wrong since I’m only ten minutes into this episode and the New Year’s Special with the Daleks is still coming, but.  

I just feel as if it would be out of place, and tremendously discouraging, pessimistic, and gloomy, for the symbol of Hope Incarnate to lose her composure and become violent and vengeful.  That’ll come in time, as a reminder that even the best of us can fail, and need the love of others to get back on our feet.  But to expect the Doctor to snap already is to underestimate her strength.
