Some perfectly normal Doctor Who factoids
The Master is canonically Rasputin.
Time Lords can all levitate and fly. The Doctor seems to forget this.
The Doctor is canonically Merlin.
There are two different explanations for the Loch Ness Monsters.
The Doctor once had a talking penguin as a companion.
Vampires are a canon species.
Tegan and Nyssa have such a strong queer subtext to their friendship that there is a wiki page online dedicated to it.
Speaking of Nyssa, she once got turned into a vampire and became obsessed with eating Tegan.
Ace McShane once fell in love with a cat-girl.
The Doctor is both a semi-mythical figure in the founding of time lord society, as well as also being the reason for the time lords having regenerative abilities. They are also just a run-of-the-mill time lord who ran away from Gallifrey. All of these are equally canon.
The Doctor once broke the fourth wall to wish the viewers a Merry Christmas.
The Third Doctor knows various martial arts.
It's implied that Time Lords cannot get drunk on alcohol unless they drink ginger beer beforehand.
The Eighth Doctor was once sentenced to death and promptly demanded to die in the nude.
The Doctor effectively kidnapped their first companions.
Time Lords reproduce via a technology known as looms.
Okay but can we appreciate the fact that the master is always like here is my elaborate 70 year plan that involves 40 double crosses, 10 undercover roles, 12 government take overs, and 3 ruling positions and the doctor is like okay bitch I've got a bomb
“The clock will strike for everyone. Even you, Doctor.”
I mean, what was I meant to do, NOT make a thoschei Goncharov au? Honestly, this film has been out since 1973, and Doctor Who has been around since 1963, you’d think someone would have done this before me. But I guess I have to do everything myself around here.
(And yes, the Doctor is Goncharov and the Master is Katya, because these two have THE most ‘bitterly married soon-to-be-divorcees’ dynamic I’ve ever seen. Tell me I’m wrong)
Death in Heaven / The Timeless Children
on the one hand, it's so funny how every time the doctor has to introduce the master to new companions they never fail to mention that they used to friends. “this is my evil archenemy but we were in the academy together, we used to run in the red grass before the murder attempts” even though we literally just saw the master committing multiple atrocities.
but. on the other hand. the tragedy of it all. it's the doctor saying: this is the site of grief that's now a festering wound. this is scar tissue still tender to the touch, this is the relentlessness of memory. this is a ghost, this is a monster, this is a haunting, this is an unburied grave. this is love as terror, love as horror, love that came back from the dead as a hunger. this is what it means to remember. this was my first love and the only thing i cannot outrun.
and then we cut to the master who is committing more atrocities

The Master in Power of the Doctor:
The Doctor only experiences gender against their will. The Master is simultaneously a girlboss and a manwhore. Hope this helps
It’s getting a bit awkward now
It’s so funny to me that Tegan has personal trauma associated with the Master, the Cybermen, and the Daleks, and Ace just… doesn’t. She had lots of issues but none closely tied to those particular enemies. When the Master tried to drag her like he dragged Tegan he was like “remember how you um. uhhhhh. Don’t like your given name and left the Doctor off-screen” and Ace was like “Furry” and the Master had no choice but to take it.
