The Thing w Missy 2 is he's Sexy because it's fun and because its fun for Me to have and draw hot sexy cuntenserven evil poses and fits but also everything in his narrative Works OK I'm not just doing this. It's a reflection of the same boredom and attention neediness and desire to be The Most that made The Master what it is and that made him not want to be the master anymore, packed in our, and he's exploring the gaps between his self in and out of that role, and like. The reality of being Close to the doctor when suddenly you have to just, yknow, go do shit together it's less Grand then every encounter being a fight to the death, amd that whole thing was Like That in the first place because his desire for the Doctor's attention- AND he's trying to be social around people in a way he hasn't truly been for a thousand years now, having relied on sowing fear and killin goons, While deeply terrified of not being liked, so of course he's going to Play To His Assests* and be overtly Alluring and Agreeable, of course his new role he's trying to build around being like even vaguely Cooperative and Helpful is gonna be Steeped in the language of intentional playful demureness, brought to 11 cuz he loves preforming a role to the max.

*it's quite important to me that Body Wise Missy does not have a particularly androgynous face or shape.

He NEEDS everyone to go ohhh don't kill yourself you're so sexyy so badly he is willing to embarrasse himself** for it.

**being effeminate and horny is Mot Embarassing not even remotely the meaning here. This is about how time lord culture- and you can see this in master and doctor outfits throughout the ages- shows very little skin. And I've extrapolated Romana's fits to mean younger generations and students are more lenient about it, and I think get more lenient over time- but it's still like. (Missy voice) "What? Everybody on the homeworld*** is wearing this right now" and Eighteen is like yeah firstfacers in prydonian frat parties? For sure. We're 2300 get some dignity (proceeds to have 0 dignity herself in all the goofy Doctory ways and then some). Its embarrassing cuz its someone having, not even a midlife- a retirement age identity crisis cutting heart shaped boob windows into all his shirts and Over-Posing in front of his crush/ex wife. Like c'mon.

*** Gallifrey's back but there's two of them now. But it's Rarely Relevant To 18's story. Missy is running various schemes about it though. Just- don't worry about it
