honestly the main reason i use ‘theta’ and ‘koschei’ in fic is because i find it really hard to imagine the doctor addressing the master with ‘master’ and take it at all seriously
like at the core it’s about affirming an identity right? callling them doctor or master is in some way like agreeing thats who they are. the doctor wouldnt do that with the master, partly i think because they dont believe the master really is…. all that, and partly because they dont want them to be all that. so why affirm it. they wouldnt
the other way around though the master does i think believe in the doctor’s doctorness to a certain extent. more than the doctor believes in the master’s masterness anyway
