Thoschei but make it meeting on the turret stairs
and the master always hoped that he did not belong to this. because his doctor always loves, right? always forgives, no matter what he does, right? only all this hope is broken with the same zeal
The prey has to love the predator right? The fear of death is there, but your entire purpose is to survive them and keep living. Your body is shaped to tense at the first sign of the tiger in the grass. Your mind fills with lightning when you hear a branch snap in the trees. When the specter of claw and teeth breaks from hiding your limbs know the chase. This is a dance that lives in your hot, pounding blood. This is your purpose. You don't always win the chase, but this too is your purpose. The deer must love the wolf I think, and love it the most when the teeth close around the throat. Carried down to the steaming gore painted grass like a lover to a marriage bed. And the wolf loves you.
imagine: you get your memories back after years of amnesia to find out your whole species is dead and earth doesn’t exist anymore. that the only thing left of your culture is your weird ex and his busted honda civic that barely even works that he stole from the government when he was 13. And he’s been taking members of an alien species for trips in his honda civic and they’re all like “woah it’s so cool” and you get upset because it’s NOT COOL it’s a honda civic, the turn signals don’t even work “wow it can go up hills” yeah OF COURSE IT CAN GO UP HILLS EVERY CAR COULD DO THAT. but they’ve never seen a car before so everything it does is the coolest thing ever. And your ex’s only tool is a fucking screwdriver which is somehow also cool to this dumbass alien species even though it’s a fucking screwdriver so you just look like an idiot screaming about how none of this is even cool it’s actually really shitty but your whole planet is gone so you can’t even prove it but also you’ve had a constant drumming sounding in your head since you were 10 slowly driving you insane. I would become evil too.
The Master about the Doctor when they're not around: *heart eyes, but with panic in his voice as he thinks about the Doctor possibly dying* A cosmos without the Doctor scarcely bears thinking about...
The Master to the Doctor's face: *points a weapon at them* Killing you once was never enough for me, Doctor. How, how gratifying to do it three times over.....
And it's in the same fucking story.
Take an old IbisPaint pic where I attempted to draw Tensimm in Gravity Falls style 👍(Yes, I know it doesn't look all that good, I was like 13 when I drew this 😭)
Watching Last of the time lords and shipping tensimm but I'm shaking my head the whole time so you know I don’t approve of The Master’s actions towards Martha’s family and Jack
Master, rubbing his hands together like a fly: Mwahaha, the Doctor is going to be so mad at me for eating his precious humans. He's going to be like, 'Ooh noo, why would you do that!? You can't do that! You're so evil master!'
Doctor: You did WOT!?
Master, smuggly: I ATE people! >:) Im so evil! Fear me!
Doctor, actually cringing: ....Brotha Euuugh!!
Master: ... wot
Doctor: Do you KNOW what they do with their bodies!?? That's disgusting! You really came here, saw what they put in their bodies, and decided to put that in your mouth!???
Master, realizing what he's done: Wait... Oh.. OH, Thats- *starts gagging*
Doctor: That's just nasty...
Master: *nodding, trying not to throw up*
Doctor: Come on. We're gonna go get you checked for a disease..
Master: Thanks. You know, Doctor, you're a good frie-
Doctor: Don't touch me! You might be contagious-
Master: Never mind..
Bonus: *The master is sitting on a random picnic table at the dump, The doctor is dressed comeditically with a stephascope*
Doctor, sighing: I have bad news.
Master: You know you're not a real doctor, right?
Doctor: ...You have meningitis..
Master: ... But im already a man??
Doctor: ....
Doctor: How are you not dead yet with that lack of functioning braincells?
As a Doctor Who and Gravity Falls fan, I think the Master/Missy and Bill are very similar in many ways.
The Master has the Time Lords' march sound stuck in his head while Bill hears the Euclydians' screams.
The Master is one of the last ones from his species and Bill is the last one from his.
They are both associated with "I can't decide" by Scissor Sisters.
They both have a romantic and unhealthy obsession with a guy who travels the universe and has a group of friends/family.
They both have style and elegance ✨
Maybe there are more similarities between them, but these were the ones I could remember myself of.
Okay, now I need fanarts of Bill saying "I don't know what I'd be without that noise." and Ford responding "I don't know what I'd be without you." or Master in a bar (or in a hospital) asking for "One Doctor, please."
Doctor Who text posts Part 2
Doctor Who text posts
Hey guys, girls, and rodents if you ever think of listening to Ma Meilleure Ennemie you know the timebomb song from season 2 of Arcane. Just don't start thinking of watching any of the Doctor Who episodes with the Master after listen to it, trust me.
Ok, so. Does anyone know if there's been any thoschei Phantom of the Opera crossover works before?
I am having thoughts at the moment
don't let their seemingly straight-passing tension fool you, they are still very gay and dysfunctional
Except, the Doctor's more than likely to choose their evil exes over any challenger
the doctor has their own league of evil exes a la ramona flowers, except their seven evil exes are all different incarnations of the master
The Master was back.
The Doctor was walking around her TARDIS’s console, halfheartedly flipping switches and tracing buttons. Her mind was a million miles away, but she didn’t want anyone to see her sitting still and ask questions. They were the one thing she really couldn’t handle right now. Actually, she really couldn’t handle a lot of things at the moment, but she could only cop to one before the doubts poured and rushed into her very old mind.
Honestly, she should have seen this coming. No matter how many times she lost him, the Master always returned like a psychotic yo-yo. It doesn’t matter how far they come, how bloody close she gets to feeling decent about their chances and herself for once in her life. It doesn’t matter, because in the end, he always dies and he always comes back trying to take over the world again. The whole situations kinda like a rubber band really. You can move forward, but in the end, you pull too far and you end up back at square one, fingers smarting and cursing yourself. Why couldn’t she learn? Why couldn’t she let Master go?
She remembered every time she had seen him, every time he had saved her with the “intention” of killing her later. She remembered him calling her, telling her he was alive. She’d said it was unfortunate. She remembered further than that. Remembered the Academy. Running with him. Not running away. There wasn’t anything scary or shameful enough yet. Not running to anything. As far as they understood, this would last forever, nothing would flicker or fade. She remembers messing with his experiments, remembers him showing up in the middle of the night.
She remembers how desperate she was seeing him again. Her what tenth? Eleventh? These regenerations were really starting to wear on her. But whatever it was, whenever she was seems irrelevant, because he was there. He was there, with hatred in his heart and drumming in his head and he was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He’d missed Master so much. Practically begged. Let’s run away together. Effectively, it’s what he’d meant. Hadn’t worked though. But still. The Master hadn’t killed him. That had to mean something. Pathetic Doctor really. She wasn’t even totally sure which voice that was. Bit of a con of avoiding your past really, hard to keep it in line. Gets even more jumbled than usual.
She thought of River then. But River Song was different. River, armed with her blue book always knew where they were in relation to each other. River was always two steps and five spoilers ahead. And she was gone. And so were her parents. Rory Pond and Amelia. Amelia Pond. This face would never get to see her face. She clutched the console as more and more people came to mind. Sarah Jane probably wouldn’t recognize her even if she saw her now. Donna couldn’t. Clara would never even get the chance. And Martha Jones. Jo. Rose Tyler. For a moment, The Doctor wondered if Rose would choose to stay with the human version of who she was, or if she’d travel with her again. She’d promised forever. But then again, so had he. But that’s the thing. None of her companions lasted.
On a good day, they retired, middle-aged and happy. She couldn’t think about the bad days right now. There were far too many of them. Didn’t spoil the good ones, no. But it did make it harder to think. Maybe that’s what she liked about The Master. He lived as long as she did, shared life experiences and all that. She knew that was barely a fraction of the truth. She’s liked him ever since they were children. He was my man-crush. That’s what he had told Bill. Bill. Can’t think about that right now. I’ve got to move on.
And that’s another thing that made all of this so much harder. Last time she had seen the Master, he was Missy. Her hearts ached at the thought. Missy had been the closest to the boy she remembered running with on Gallifrey. It was so frustrating, because it had felt like they were so close. So close to being friends again. But then again, she never has been blameless in their dynamic. She was the one who convinced Missy ‘without hope, witness, or reward’ and she had died that way. And where had she been? Also dying. Thinking about the stars. She should have found Missy after, given her a proper rest, again. Because she had been lost. Again.
Then there was another friend lost, all too complicated and too recent. O. She had liked him. Genuinely liked him. They texted, far more consistently than she usually managed. O had been nice, funny, sweet. Really smart too. And witty. He could keep up with her, which was rare. And he sent her memes. It was so hard, trying to reconcile the manic, violent, hate-filled Master with O’s peaceable façade.
Before she was fully aware of her actions, The Doctor found herself sitting on the steps in front of the console, opening her phone and scrolling through messages upon messages. And every one of them was a lie. The name at the top of her phone was a lie. She should change it, but what was the point? It really wasn’t fair. The Master couldn’t be O. It was unfathomable. He couldn’t just be O. He couldn’t just ask her how her day was and listen to her voice memos about daleks and cybermen and the fam running off and almost getting eaten by a relative of Scylla. He couldn’t just share anecdotes about his day and cooking and fixing his hut in the outback. He couldn’t just call her when he had a nightmare.
The first time that had happened, the Doctor was wholly unprepared. She was fixing the TARDIS, just routine maintenance when her phone had rang. So, she put the wire she was holding between her teeth while she answered her phone.
“Hell-o?” She said, muffled. There was nothing on the other end of the line, not even breathing. The hairs on the back of the Doctor’s neck stood on end at the unnatural stillness.
“O, is that you? Are you alright, is this a distress call?” She was well on her way to becoming truly panicked when she heard something. It would have sounded like a balloon deflating if it wasn’t such an obviously sentient sound. Ragged breathing followed after, chocked off.
“O?” She chanced saying his name again. Another sharp intake of breath, some noise that sounded so lost and pained and then.
“Hey Doctor.” Shaky, but there.
“Hey, are you alright?”
“N-yeah, of course. Actually, just being a bit stupid at the moment, instance of, of nostalgia I suppose. Really shouldn’t have called. I am okay Doctor, let me just-”
“Don’t hang up!” She hadn’t meant to sound that forceful. Both her and O had been struck silent at the force in her words. O spoke first.
“I really am okay Doctor, I just…”
“Had a nightmare?” She guessed. There was a long sigh.
“Yeah.”
“Get those often?”
“What is that, a bad pick up line?” O’s halfhearted laughter did nothing to distract the Doctor.
“It’s a genuine question.” She could practically feel O deciding between telling her the truth and hanging up.
“I’ve had them since I was a kid. Seem to be coming back more and more though.” He stopped again and the Doctor knew he was still seeing whatever had wrested him from sleep.
“Do you want to talk about it, or do you want a distraction?”
“Distraction, definitely.”
“Where are you right now? Describe it.”
“Really doctor?” He sounded rather cross.
“Please?”
“Alright, I’m in my, well, I’m outside my, my hut. On my deck? Porch? I dunno. My head is resting on a pillar. Well, my head’s resting on my hand on the pillar. My other hand’s holding the phone obviously.”
“What’s it like outside, what can you see?”
“I dunno! It’s dark. Nightfall. Um. Outback-y? Few trees, lots of dirt. It’s so flat, why’s it so flat? Um, there are a few stars.” He cuts himself off.
“O?”
“Where are you?” He sounds desperate, words rushed.
“I’m in the TARDIS.”
“No, but where? Look outside.” He demands.
“Alright, just a sec.” The Doctor keeps the phone to her ear as she opens the door to the TARDIS, sits down on the edge.
“I’m in space. Not near any planets, well I can’t see any. I’m sitting down. My feet are dangling off the edge of the TARDIS.” She swings her feet to illustrate the point.
“Are you swinging your feet?” He asks.
“Maybe.” She replies. She hears almost the breath of a laugh and can’t help but smile.
“So, no planets, what is around you?” O says hesitantly.
“Stars. Millions of them. There’s one not too far from me. It’s beautiful. Burning blue and red and orange and colors I don’t have a name for. There’s flares coming off it. And I can almost feel it’s heat, like the sun maybe, but less intense? You know I forget sometimes, how breathtaking a star can be? Thanks for this.” There no response on the other end of the line.
“O?” She asks, panic seeping in again.
“I’d like to see that star. Could we go sometime? See a few stars together?” He’s speaking so quietly, the Doctor can scarcely hear him, has to strain her ears. It’s a wonder his words aren’t lost to the millions of miles between them. Something about the request, the tone? The longing? Takes her breath away.
“I’d like that. Maybe next time I visit? Go see a couple before I have to bring you back?” She says softly.
“Who says I have to come back?” There, that’s much sharper than anything she’s used to hearing from O.
“What do you mean?”
“Nothing I.” He groans in frustration. “My nightmare just reminded me of a few things. I don’t want to talk about it.” Before she can say anything else, he speaks again. “Next time your in town, eh? Might just need to invite a rogue alien incursion then.”
“Don’t you dare.” The Doctor is laughing, and so is O. And, it’s nice. And it’s quiet again. They sit in silence and if the Doctor closes her eyes, she can almost picture O’s hut, picture him in front of it.
“The sun is rising.” He tells her after a while. Quietly still, like he’s trying not to break this glass atmosphere between them.
“What’s it look like?”
“Big. Orange. It’s turning the far-off grass red. Minus the smoke, it looks like the world is on fire. But nothing is burnt.”
“Sounds like home.” She hadn’t meant to say that. She tenses, waiting for the inevitable and completely warranted questions about home. But O surprises her.
“Yeah.” Is all he says. She waits for more and when it’s obvious it’s not coming, she relaxes. O usually is really good at knowing when not to press her.
“Thank you for being here Doctor.” He tells her. She could almost swear the star is front of her is really the Earth’s sun on her closed eyelids.
“No problem, it was nice.”
“It’s not over yet.”
“It will be though.”
“But it’s not now, that’s the point.”
“I know.”
“I should go to work.”
“Go to work then.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Are you pouting O?” She asks, amusement coating her words.
“No.” He says petulantly. She can almost picture the crease between his eyebrows.
“I’ll text you later, okay O? Go to work, I don’t want to make you late.”
“Alright. Try not to get killed Doctor.”
“O-kay.” She tells him. She can hear the grin at the exaggerated pun, and then there’s a moment of silence, and then the line disconnects. She stays there for a long time after. It’s peaceful. She can’t remember the last time she felt so peaceful being still.
Then, the clatter begins as the fam wakes up. And the Doctor stands, takes one more look at the star, and closes the TARDIS doors. She walks to the console and saves her coordinates.
Just in case.

Here is the story I’d said I’d write. Title is misleading, basically angsty doctor/master. Let me know if you want me to read more. There *may* be a part 2 posted.
“You and me, Matrix Chamber, no one else, one last time!”
.... DOES SHE NOT REALISE HOW KINKY THAT SOUNDS TO THE OTHERS???????????
“Born from you, but led by me!”
Soooooo, essentially you just had thousands of children together 0-0
okay you two go have a sword fight about it
Fake dw comic cover of a thirteen+missy team up that I can dream about happening one day
i just think theyre neat
on one hand there's something psychologically fascinating about the doctor, who prides themselves on their cleverness, being enraptured by the master's mind. even when the master is disguised as o or yana, the doctor is immediately drawn to them and is even deferential to them, sitting at their feet and wanting more than anything to learn from them. because as egotistical as the doctor can be, the one person to whom they are always willing to hear from is their avowed enemy.
on the other hand it's like. wow the doctor really might as well have big ol' letters saying TOP ME stenciled across their forehead huh.
But what about the Master? He stays. And what will happen to him? Torment, of course. The pain he has given so freely will be returned to him, in full.
DOCTOR WHO The Time Monster
Like I wonder if the Master sometimes finds out about some of the Doctor’s more questionable/controversial decisions? Like they’ll be digging through stuff in the Doctor’s TARDIS and find out they just keep the Carrionites screaming for all eternity basically in a globe. They’d just be like: “Oh, Doctor! Now that is fascinating! That’s just plain cruel…. I gotta admit, I almost didn’t expect this from you!” *Vigorously shakes the object like it’s a damn snow globe* 😂
im so normal about this like this means nothing to me btw (terror of the autons / the mind of evil / the time monster / frontier in space / last of the time lords)
“doesn’t matter what face he was wearing, they’re all the doctor to me.”
*thirteenth doctor voice* not anymooore!
