He... totally 100% sees himself in your letter :| soundof_drums September 20 2009, 01:16:25 UTC

I would have thought you to be above such sickening sentimentality.

SORRY MR MASTER. They must share an archetype or two :| stayandgloat September 20 2009, 01:26:10 UTC

Apologies. The nature of nostalgia, you know. The longer you let it stay under your skin, the more powerful it gets.

THEY CLEARLY DO soundof_drums September 20 2009, 01:28:41 UTC

Mmm. I suppose old friends do have a way of crawling around under your skin. They're like a disease, best to be eradicated.

This is like, the CLOSEST I've ever been to truly appropriate use of this icon! stayandgloat September 20 2009, 01:34:33 UTC

And yet, hard to get rid of without clawing your own skin off.

PERFECTION soundof_drums September 20 2009, 01:48:10 UTC

And for all their condemnation, they refuse to remove themselves from our lives, either-- it's enough to make one suspect they're the selfish ones, really.

stayandgloat September 20 2009, 02:03:02 UTC

We devote ourselves entirely and--

Of course, they're not interested in us doing the right thing or leading good lives, they're just convinced that they're somehow entitled to our attentions!

1/3 soundof_drums September 20 2009, 02:05:46 UTC

Precisely! They enjoy the attention, and so long as they get it, they shall never set us free!

2/3 soundof_drums September 20 2009, 02:06:41 UTC

[In retrospect, he seems to come across as a bitter ex there.]

3/3 soundof_drums September 20 2009, 02:07:51 UTC

Not that I believe... I was speaking on behalf of an... acquaintance.

Ethan ignores your coverup! stayandgloat September 20 2009, 02:13:56 UTC

Exactly! How many of those Doctors have pissed their way through here only to do nothing? They just languish in the background and rear their heads to talk down to you once in a blue moon!

They think that the past grants them some inalienable right to weigh in on your present, but only when it suits them.

As I get more intoxicated, the Master opens up! soundof_drums September 20 2009, 02:20:29 UTC

SEVEN! Nearly as many different Doctors as I have encountered in my life! And all they do is turn up and wag their fingers at me whenever I anything more than sit around and remain absolutely silent!

Precisely. They and this Rupert Giles deserve everything we give to them.

Yaaaaay! stayandgloat September 20 2009, 02:37:38 UTC

Exactly! They think they can just preach at us then snub us in accordance to their whims, and that we'll never get sick of it!

What we do to them is self preservation of the spirit!

soundof_drums September 20 2009, 02:47:20 UTC

And I think they are long overdue for a reminder.

Private stayandgloat September 20 2009, 02:52:21 UTC

Not that I expect either of them to actually notice, but... I think this conversation should have become private about one comment back.

Private soundof_drums September 20 2009, 02:55:02 UTC

Mr. Rayne, I will be extremely impressed if either one of them actually reads this exchange.

Private stayandgloat September 20 2009, 03:02:01 UTC

They won't. Your warden might.

And I really need to work off a little of the tension I've accumulated recently.
