it struck me today that a massive part of what makes the Doctor the hero and not the villain of the show is that he actually is not a good guy. he's not good. he's terrible, and he could be really bad for the universe, but the thing that makes him the hero is that he knows what he is really like sometimes and he is actively trying to do the right thing at every opportunity and be better, so in this essay I will-

The Master and The Doctor dynamic is really funny in comparison to other versions of the "hero and villain used to be friends/sort of still are friends/you could interpret them as ex-lovers" trope. Most versions of this trope like magneto and sinestro are well-intentioned extremist villains so you can see why they used to be friends and where their ideologies diverged. Whereas The Master just straight up commits mass murder for fun. Yet The Doctor is so unhinged that the Doctor Who fandom universally accepts this without question. We're all just like "yeah that seems like the kind of guy The Doctor would hang out with".
