Yeah thats julius' bald spot

Agatha harkness gotta be the greatest scammer of all time. Inventing/popularizing a ballad about a series of which trials that don’t even exist, gathering covens like an MLM, then annoying them so bad about their inability to access said nonexistent trials that they blast you with magic thus feeding your succubus powers. lol .

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?

Aubrey Plaza as Rio Vidal/Death in AGATHA ALL ALONG (2024) 01x08 | "Follow Me My Friend / To Glory at the End"

The implication that they've never kissed before because it would kill Agatha. Meaning in ep.4, she was about to offer herself for that boy and Rio stopped her

So true

Yes, yes I do
