Talking of six word stories π
the enigma of pete tyler... not a character that haunts the narrative, but a character haunted by the narrative. its rose's (ie. the bad wolf's, ie. the narrative's) attachment to him and who he could've been but never got to be that makes him so important, but only barely. hes not part of the story-- he dies before she grows up, or he doesnt have kids in this world-- but hes rose's dad so hes dragged into it every time. he seems to know it every time too, because he always opens up to rose and doesnt know why, like he knows hes becoming part of a story he isnt supposed to be in yet. hes so normal and so essential and so tangential-- theres so much thats different about the alternate universe, but they call it petes world because he's whats the most important about it. to her.
DOCTOR WHO series one β§ 2005 β inspiration
christopher eccleston as the ninth doctor π
the master gets migraines
the master getting teary eyed and scared when he realises the doctor is really considering to pull the trigger but still daring him to do it. He needs to know, he needs to see if the doctor is capable of it. is he? would he really? why is he still pointing the gun at him?
But he doesnβt want to die. you can hear it in his voice and see it in his face but he needs to know how far the doctor is willing to go. And besides heβs the master. Heβs not gonna back down and plead. At least not in this regeneration. the subtle and terrorised headshake after works very well as thereβs one part of the script missing in this scene
and the doctor wonβt.
Welcome! Huge Ninth Doctor nerd, as you can probably tell. he/they. Do a lotta Doc Who writing over on Ao3 under the name Artron :3c
