Missy Doctor Who - Tumblr Posts
did you just--
"T'aimer est une galère" from Molière, l'opéra urbain is kinda missy/master/thoschei coded. I might be insane.
i attempted the six fanarts thing
I made twelve and missy silhouettes :)
I've been sick for the past week, so I been binging Doctor Who again. To everyone who said that I would love Twelve you were right!
I have to admit I didn't like him at first. At first he is a little darker, a little colder, and really lost, but he goes on a great character progression over his three seasons.
First of all, his relationship with Clara is so interesting and complicated. He glomps right onto to her, more intensely then I think with almost any other companion that I've seen so far. He has this enormous fear of losing her, especially in the first season. Which does make sense considering how lost he feels, but again I think this is the first time I've seen this dynamic play out.
Previous companions really push the Doctor to be better, Donna does it for Ten, Amy does it for Eleven, but it's different with Clara. There are moments where she does remind the Doctor to be a more caring person, but the feeling I got was more like the Doctor was pulling Clara down to his level more often then not, and often to Clara's determinant.
I do think a third companion could have been helpful some times, someone to provide a different, more rational perspective at times, because the Doctor and Clara were often in this intense feedback loop bubble, especially in the second season.
Clara's ending was heartbreaking and lovely at the same time, and I'm so glad he got his memories back of her at the very end, because she deserved to be remembered.
Secondly, I love Bill Potts! She was so refreshingly normal. After a couple of companions that were extra super special, the impossible girl, Amy saving the universe with her imagine alone, etc, it was so refreshing to have a companion who was just a normal everyday person. I loved her friendship with the Doctor, it just felt so sweet and chill, not that things are ever really all that chill with the Doctor, but that is the term that comes to mind. Also, Nardole was hilarious! I loved that he really wasn't afraid to call the Doctor out on his bullshit.
Lastly, Missy. I loved Missy to bits, the best version of the Master so far for me. I loved her when she was unhinged, and when she was trying to change. My only compliant is I wish we had gotten more of her. More of her being unhinged and more of her and the Doctor trying to work out things between them. They had part of one episode near the end where Missy was going to try and do a good mission on her own with the Doctor as her guide in her ear, and God I would have loved a full episode or episodes of that. And yes, I ship it! I ship it like crazy. I love a friends-to-enemies-to-allies-to-maybe friends again-to lovers. I'm so sad the Doctor will never know that she chose him in the end.
I'm probably missing a lot, but overall I loved Twelve and his companions, and his Master.
I'm probably going to take a long break before I start Thirteen's run. I just need to sit with what I've seen for a bit.
Cover art for once upon a time in nazi-occupied france by yonderdarling
In honour of Fanfic Writer Appreciation Day I created this cover art for a great fic.

On your AO3 you wrote The pieces I'm proudest of are the Broken Wheel series (Once Upon a Time) and Madness for Two (Doctor Who).
What made those two series stand out above others for you if it's ok to ask?
It's completely okay to ask!
Those stories are the ones that turned out on the page looking something like the vision in my head. They were relatively quick and painless to write, probably because they're so contained compared to my long fanfics, but also because I threw away some of the self-imposed constraints that make writing harder (if ultimately more likely to be attractive to a wider audience). They're more self-indulgent and removed from canon than I normally go for as either writer or reader.
Broken Wheel explores a Dark Castle-based romance for Belle and Rumple without really digging into the pitfalls of their relationship. They desire each other and they go for it. As a canon-divergent AU it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but as a fairytale take on OUaT's twist on a fairytale, it's kinda fun. It's quirky because Belle and Rumple are both quirky characters capable of becoming lost in each other to the exclusion of everything else. They spend the story exploring what's possible on their terms and - to deploy a phrase I didn't yet know when I wrote those pieces - matching each other's freak. I think it was the first time I wrote Rumple's POV, which I don't find easy or comfortable compared to Belle, so I'm proud of how that turned out.
Madness for Two is similar in a way - short, contained, smutty with feels, showing POV's I usually avoid because I find them hard. Self-indulgent, quirky, prioritising the Doctor/Master 'ship and smut over the more complex realities of their canon relationship. I wrote it for the 50th anniversary of the Master's debut on DW so I wanted to avoid really diving into the morality of it all and just celebrate my love for the characters. As with Broken Wheel's Belle and Rumple, I wrote Thirteen and the Master (and the subplot with Twelve and Missy) in an obsessive, claustrophobic, and quirky collision of personalities. Nobody matches freaks like those two!
In this case I added a MacGuffin to stop 'em actively fighting for five minutes so the story could work, not so much to enable the smut (though it was nice to do that for the Master's birthday - they've been jonesing for some quality Doctor-time in my head since the 1980's!) but to force their POV's to deal with the antagonism and intensity of their bond in words. I wanted them to describe each other as intimates and, in doing so, throw a light on themselves.
I intended both Broken Wheel and Madness for Two to be character studies first, smut second, love story third. The DW piece throws in angst and hurt comfort too, because that's my fave playground. I played with tone and voice and imagery more than I usually would and - on the whole - was happy with the results. I enjoy reading these stories back, actually seeing the story instead of the flaws in my writing/things I'd do differently now I've learned that bit more.
Lastly, they're actually finished pieces and not WIPs that keep me awake at night listening to the unfulfilled character voices in my head! I've always hoped to add a third piece to make Broken Wheel a trilogy, but it doesn't need it if I never can. I've never quite found the right narrative voice for it, maybe because it wants to be told from Belle's POV while the first two are Rumple's. It's a cute enough story from her POV, but I'd like the set to match and haven't yet figured out how to do that.
DOCTOR WHO | The Eaters of Light
Missy (Doctor Who) and Helen (Magnus Archives) would absoLUTELY be the bestest of friends you can't change my mind
morally grey villains this, emotionally tortured bad boys that, NO! I want my villains DERANGED, MERCILESS, and FULL of GIRLISH WHIMSY (gender neutral). is that too much to ask for??
After watching the first two interactions of the 12th Doctor & Missy I was thinking about something.
Missy drastically changed all of her pronouns and referred to herself as "Time Lady" & "Mistress".
From the 13th Doctor & Missy we know that Gallifreyans can change genders while regenerating. That brings several ideas...
1. Gallifreyans with a gender they like most. Like, someone who was a women 5 regenerations and then became a man and is extremely bickery about it.
2. Non binary Gallifreyans. Before the regeneration, 9 said he could have no head, or 2 heads. That means there were cases of not just changing genders, but species. So what about Gallifreyans changing into "humans" with no genitalia? Like, is it a Time Lady or a Time Lord? Wrong! It's a Time Maniac!
3. No gender related... Basically nothing on Gallifrey is gender related. Except maybe clothes and interests (cue to Missy saying slaying a Dalek is Time Ladies golf). Because at any point anyone can die and change genders. How are you not gonna let a lady inside a men pub when she was the one to establish it? Before she died of heart failure.
4. Marriage will be 100% built on love. I mean, how can you marry someone when you know they can change any minute? Only if you love them so much you don't care.
5. Not about genders. Age restriction. How would it work?? Do they also have a not drinking before x years? Do they have elderly homes for people on their 12th life? If one life lasts about 1000 - 1500 years (11th Doctor spent 800 years alone after the Ponds accident, and then about 300 years on Trenzalore.), people can live up to 18000 years!
6. Conservative Gallifreyans. In Japan we already have problems with the aging nation and a lot of rules benefitting the old, now think if the old generation loves to 18000 years.
7. Child birth. If their pregnancy is like ours , 9 months, and let's say about a child a year... Gallifrey would be over populated.
Update: I have checked "looms". First off, oof. Second, that brings even more questions.
