#and for universe's sake i trust neilman won't do anything comparable with aziraphale

Venting in a Aziraphale and the Master have certain similarities and it's not just about dialectic eroticism with David Tennant (and being foodies 👍) way, but...

man is there something similar about the audience raging about how Aziraphale choosing heaven was ooc, bc poor bby was simply scared and brainwashed all those years by bad bad *checks notes* metaphor of abusive religious sects and toxic bosses Gabriel on the one hand, and on the other the fanon I personally hate but politely don't comment on about how the Master is the way they are bc bad bad Time Lords society that's *checks notes* exclusively a metaphor of imperialist Britain and Rassilon specifically of an abusive father (now add sprinkles of Tecteun's nonexistent relationship with the Doctor to the picture), and surely the moment either of them would be presented an alternative they would immediately grab it.

Boi. If your grown ass character that's existed for hundreds if not thousands of years among various peoples and cultures holds onto a certain outlook on life then it's no longer brainwashing only an actual part of their personality. AND THAT'S OK, CHARACTERS HAVING AND REPRESENTING CERTAIN PHILOPHIES AND ATTITUDES IS A GOOD THING, EVEN OR ESPECIALLY IF A CHARACTER YOU LIKE HAS AN OUTLOOK YOU DON'T LIKE. Just. Let eldritch horrors be responsible for their choices not uwu bbies that just need their skinny assed dialectic counterpart to confess love.

While we're at it, allow me to quote a professor of philosophy and theology from one of the oldest universities in the world: Dialectics is when three drunk people go down the road and one is staggering downwards, one is staggering to the sides and one is staggering backwards but so long as they hold onto each other they stagger forwards.
