So, the Master is clearly struggling with dissociation in S12, right? Because I never saw this talked about directly, but it’s been on my mind since Spyfall.
The Master is obviously traumatised by the events preceding the season and trauma is what dissociation stems from, so I guess that’s what made me look out for it. And then it just seemed so blatantly obvious to me:
The constant insisting on how sure he is about what he is doing; how right it feels - while looking utterly lost. (Nothing he does makes him feel anything, because he is completely detached from his own emotions.) The unfocused eyes during important moments. (Spaced out, can’t focus, no matter how much he wants to/ knows he should.) The mood swings. I know, every Master had those to an extent, but while in his previous incarnations it seemed almost voluntary, in this one he seems completely overpowered by it. (Inability to handle emotions.) The way he frantically claps his hands on the plane, a typical grounding technique, the same way I nervously tap my nails on my phone all the time (driving all my friends nuts).
And then the way he needs the Doctor, this time. (Even more desperately than Missy, in my view.) From making her say his name (from personal experience: your best friend saying your name; very grounding, 10/10 would recommend) to forcing her to take his hand, just to feel it in his; a prove that he still exists. The constant mentions of their past, trying to get her to talk about who he was, to find comfort in her reassurance. And the way he reacts when she says his name; he almost breaks down. He doesn’t remember who he is, but she knows and he needs her to tell him; show him, so he can feel real again.
And then the apathy toward the end; he doesn’t care if he dies, because why would it matter, when he doesn’t feel alive anyway?
💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Bag of Goodberry Gummy Fish Wondrous item, uncommon ___
“Goodberry gummy fish" are gooey sweets that look like Tiny, gelatinous fish. When found, they typically come in bags of 1d6 + 10 gummies, which are almost always red.
A "goodberry gummy fish" functions like a single goodberry, as if by the "goodberry" spell, except that eating a gummy also grants you a swimming speed of 30 feet for 1 hour.
Alternatively, you can use an action to submerge a gummy in water to magically animate it, using the quipper’s statistics. If you submerge 5 or more gummies in water at the same time, they become a swarm of quippers instead of five separate ones. The quippers are friendly to you, but aren’t magically compelled to obey any of your commands. After 1 hour, the animated gummies dissolve and are destroyed. ___

chuuya bungostraydogs is the peak of character design because attraction to him transcends the boundaries of sexuality and gender
he’s feminine enough to attract lesbians and straight guys, yet masculine enough to attract gay men and straight girls, he’s got the charisma to charm the ace and aro folks, bi and pan folks go nuts for him, and no matter what flavor of trans you are, chuuya gives you gender envy in this essay i will…
Let’s be honest... they’ve probably done this.
