with just about any incarnation of the doctor, any time they go “oh, but the master and i used to be friends 🥺” it tends to come with a sense of mystery, since they have such different goals, ideologies, and personalities. then you see some early first doctor episodes and yeah that tracks.

#smiling after starting the great fire of rome and kidnapping people #he gets better don’t get me wrong #but that’s definitely theta “would bash someone’s head in with a rock” sigma #just a bit mellowed out after a few centuries and also probably hiding a fuckton of trauma from whatever happened when he and susan left #devious gremlin old man #whenever he makes that face you know he’s up to something good or bad #iykyk #doctor who #classic who #first doctor #thoschei #if any of you know any comics or audios where one runs into the master please lemme know #it sounds so fucking funny and also rife with dramatic potential #the rasputin audio doesn’t count

Who is the Greatest Accomplice to the Doctor's War Crimes?

TOURNAMENT MASTERPOST

#greatest accomplice: quarters #okay hear me out #its still vicki #i know i know #but the romans okay #the tardis takes them to ancient rome FOR A HOLIDAY #they have a relaxing time in a town outside rome FOR MONTHS #before vicki is like 'Doctor i'm bored' #'you promised me adventure' #'doctor please can we go to actual rome' #'please please please' #'ian and barbara don't want to go but we can' #and then they find a dead body #and decide TOGETHER that the doctor should impersonate him #and they go to rome and vicki befriends the palace poisoner #and is roundly amused when she thinks she accidentaly poisoned nero #and then they give nero the idea for the great fire of rome #get out of their sharpish #and laugh together as they watch a city burn #if you believe the tardis deliberatey put the doctor in situations where he'll do war crimes #the TARDIS did not intend this #no way #it was all vicki and the doctor getting up to shenanagins #if you've not seen the romans you just have to trust me okay #and if you have and still want to vote tardis #just know that you are wrong #i am rooting for vicki for the whole tournament #she is THE accomplice #its not even close for me

For centuries Nero has been remembered as one of Rome’s worst Emperors. While he’s famously remembered for letting Rome burn, in reality it wasn’t the worst of his crimes.

Idk how big this person is but at first I thought Sam the vampire was otherkin. Then I looked further and it felt more and more like a dissociative thing, but given the fact she's obviously using AI for "Old photos of herself" I think this is some ARG or even RP thing where she pretends to be one.

#also the titanic story feels VERY fanficky #like I have a twilghtsona who might have been alive during the great fire of Rome as a mortal and I thought THAT was excessive #but she's like oh yeah I met (insert every famous person since the late 1800s
