Big fan of how a lot of the doctor’s closest companions have incredible amounts of similarities to the master. Clara is the obvious one, but I raise you, donna:
You know how the metacrisis doctor made that comment about donna shouting at the world because nobody’s listening. Missy says (in big finish: masterful) that she’s always been shouting at the world. I just wonder if the doctor gravitates towards people who are angry with the universe, who don’t feel listened to or respected, because that’s how the master always was. That resent, even though it’s expressed way differently in donna, is something the doctor finds familiarity and comfort in.
Donna feels average, she feels ignored and has deeply internalised that she’s nothing special, she spells that out pretty frequently. The master had a bizarre childhood, saxon describing it as a “life of duty” and never felt satisfied, they’re so unsatisfied that they’re end form in masterful is an entropy wave of pure hunger. They’re both resentful of the cards they’ve been dealt and their life. The doctor helps donna see her worth, and see the beauty in the universe. They couldn’t do that for the master. It was too late.

The doctor can never do what they did for donna for the master, they’re both some of his closest friends, but donna’s resent wasn’t too solidified by the time the doctor got to her, the master is bitter because of the doctor in many ways. They can’t listen because the master will never let them.
The doctor gravitates to people like the master, and always will. They were their first comfort and familiarity, their best friend (their crush). The master’s anger at the universe and same feelings of having to stand your ground and make people listen because otherwise they won’t (“well, why should they”) is something they will forever associate with their friend at the academy.
The doctor can tell donna that they belong together and she will agree, he can tell the master that and they’d never be caught dead agreeing, because they left them, and the master won’t make that mistake twice.

Well, this is what I'm doing with my life now. Looping bits of Masterful to the maximum of Tumblr's capacity.
Gomez!Master making chicken noises
Simm!Master shouting cooee at an entropy wave (aka Junior)
Beevers!, Gomez!, Jacobi!, Macqueen! and Simm!Masters saying I am the Master and you will obey me in unison (at Junior)
I'm making such a great use of my time.

simm master really is that girl. he put his crush in a dog tent for a year. he killed bill gates. he hates abba but loves waterloo. he watches the teletubbies. he threw the doctor into the heart of a sun. he wears eyeliner. he wanted an orgy with all his past selves. he shoved a diamond down the president's throat. he dyed his own hair with bleach. he likes jelly babies. he's suicidal. he fucked a random business man in a public toilet and ate him after. he's misogynistic and transitioned into a woman. he's gay and homophobic. truly no one does it like him, peak character design

love it when the doctor is in a horribly messy codependent platonic relationship where both of them are awful and a little fucked up and they would kill the other without hesitating but also would die for the other as easily as breathing

Random Doctor Who Facts You Might Not Know, Part 69
One time while escaping from a cell, Romana commented that it would be child's play to unlock the door with her sonic screwdriver. She then said it was literally child's play as doing so had been a game back on Gallifrey. (Audio: Subterranea)
One of Jamie's distant relations became a spy during World War II and used the name "the Doctor." (Audio: Operation Werewolf)
On his report, Borusa gave Theta Sigma a 7 in the subject of "Physical Inactivity." He commented that his pupil seems to think he is a mountain goat. (Short story: Report on Term's Work)
Memory lanterns are Time Lord devices that resemble paper lanterns but record an individual's thoughts and memories. During the Time War, many Gallifreyans released these lanterns as a desperate ploy to not be forgotten, as they thought they would all die. (Novel: Engines of War)
Ben, Polly, and Jamie played with a ouija board on the TARDIS. This caused a dark cloud from the time vortex to slip inside Jamie's mind, affecting his behavior. The Second Doctor banished the cloud by reading a recipe for Bajaxx stew written in Ancient Gallifreyan. (Short story: Something at the Door)
Jarra To killed the previous overseer of the Axis. Eventually, a Time Lord came to investigate, but they killed them. By the time the Fifth Doctor and his companions landed there, they described the corpse as "rank" with oozing flesh and insect larvae. (Audio: The Axis of Insanity)
After leaving Nyssa, Tegan, and Marc behind, the Fifth Doctor had several adventures on his own. Eventually, he encountered his Eleventh self, and he decided to return to his companions because he didn't want to be like him - companionless and disparaged in 1892. (Audio: Thin Time)
Time Vortex leeches live in the time vortex, and the Doctor had thought they were a myth from Ancient Gallifreyan songs until one of them clung to his Eleventh self's TARDIS exterior. (Comic: Space in Dimension Relative and Time)
One time, a man called Gaylord Lefevre played a game of cards against the Toymaker. He cheated and used a needle to mark cards, but the Toymaker was aware of this and altered his cards to be a hand full of jokers when Gaylord wasn't looking. The Toymaker claimed he wasn't cheating but instead following a new rule that Gaylord had introduced - that cheating was acceptable. (Comic: The Greatest Gamble)
Gallifrey has a transtube, which is basically an underground train. It has a central station under the Capitol. (Novel: The Ancestor Cell)
One time after the Seventh Doctor was knocked out, he drowsily told Ace that he had had a terrible dream. A man with ringlets had been reaching out to him, saying, "Come in, Number Seven, your time is up." He was talking about the Eighth Doctor. (Audio: The Silurian Candidate)
Maria Mazzini once commented on how powerful the Fifth Doctor's thighs were - after slapping them. (Audio: Serpent in the Silver Mask)
One time, the Fourth Doctor decided to take Sarah Jane to Geshtinanna. The journey in the TARDIS took nine weeks, during which both became bored and tired. While traveling in the time vortex, the clocks in the TARDIS all stopped, and the Doctor then detected the remains of another TARDIS in the vortex, trapped their because the pilot had made the mistake of locking their course. They were worried that they too had fallen to the same fate and were unable to change course, but when the day of materialization finally came, they successfully materialized. The Doctor realized that the TARDIS had stopped all the clocks out of respect for her fallen fellow TARDIS. Even after nine weeks of travel, they materialized nowhere close to Geshtinanna. (Short story: Eternity)
The Seventh Doctor has shifted his genetic makeup enough to disguise himself before and mimic someone else. He admitted that he learned this trick from the Master, who frequently used regeneration as a disguise. (Novel: Original Sin)
On Gallifrey, there are two hundred and eight tenses in their languages. They don't translate well. (Novel: The Crystal Bucephalus)

So excited to be able to announce another Big Finish project from early next year! You can pick up my story "The Clockwork Swan" in the new Call Me Master boxset, starring Sacha Dhawan, in February 2025.

MORE INFO AVAILABLE HERE
EPISODE INFORMATION BELOW THE CUT
Master of disguise, disarray and disorder. The Master has always enjoyed creating chaos, but this incarnation revels in it more than most.
A new Master is unleashed upon the universe, and he is taking his time - and pleasure – in finding out exactly who he is...
Self-Help by Robert Valentine The Master is having a crisis of the existential variety.
While he may have a classic diabolical scheme on the go, the dastardly Time Lord's latest incarnation isn’t quite feeling himself. In fact, he’s not even sure who he is anymore. He needs help. But can he help himself?
The Clockwork Swan by Georgia Cook Opening night is approaching for the latest presentation at cultural theme park Historica Dramatica: Earth-set whodunnit The Clockwork Swan. But cast and crew are being murdered...
Enter a mysterious stranger. Who better to solve the crime than galaxy-renowned detective LeMaitre? Only, LeMaitre isn’t all he seems...
The Good Life by Una McCormack On a distant Island, a group of holy men and women work together to keep the Balance. Elta, one of the Shore-folk, has come to learn. But there’s a new man on the Island – the first in living memory – and it’s not clear whether he’s saint or sinner.
Is it only coincidence that the weather seems more changeable these days? That people are angrier and turning to violence? Where, wonders Elta, is this all heading – and does the stranger even know himself?

"They pulled Torvic's body from the river.. they pulled him onto a dry land, they covered his body in branches from the trees, then together as one, they set the funeral pile alight.
And together, holding hands, they watched as his body burnt."
