Well Fucks? Get To It!

The doctor and the Master

|| Part 1 ||

died and came back wrong (blond)

thank u so fucking much for bringing this up bc i was rewatching this scene the other day and it made me think of how well that scared little headshake actually works. this whole ordeal is already sad as it his with the doctor pointing a literal gun at the master but the masters refusal to deliberately show a hint of emotion makes it worrrseeeee just like u said you can see it in his face and hear it in his voice but he wont say it. even in his final moments he can’t bring himself to, like u said, plead with the doctor which is so fitting for especially this incarnation of the master i think

“you never would you coward. (would you…?)”

the master getting teary eyed and scared when he realises the doctor is really considering to pull the trigger but still daring him to do it. He needs to know, he needs to see if the doctor is capable of it. is he? would he really? why is he still pointing the gun at him?

“go on then. do it.”

But he doesn’t want to die. you can hear it in his voice and see it in his face but he needs to know how far the doctor is willing to go. And besides he’s the master. He’s not gonna back down and plead. At least not in this regeneration. the subtle and terrorised headshake after works very well as there’s one part of the script missing in this scene

“don’t.”

and the doctor won’t.

Doctor. Oh, Doctor…

My experience trying to understand any of the time lords timelines: this happened. No it didn’t. That was an aborted timeline. Is that comic canon? That contradicts the show but it could work if you adjust some stuff. So that definitely happened? Oh wait no retconned again. Can it all be canon? Can I blame the toymaker for this? Oh I didn’t know that regeneration even existed. We’re just making shit up as we go along now. Woah many traumatic events I wasn’t previously aware of no wonder they’re like that. Can I incorporate this into ttc lore if I really try. How long is this wiki. Why is mark gatiss here. They’re the same person? No they’re not? Yes they are? No they aren’t? Faction paradox. Homeworld book of war lungbarrow academy. Vampires. Can I go home yet
