Full Metal Time Lord!!! [action figure in stores today]

[On the ground there are three chalk circles with weird designs in them. One might even call these 'transmutation circles,' if one was so inclined. Very likely, one isn't. ]

[Sitting in the centre of the first circle is an old transistor radio.]

He destroys!

[The Master puts his hands over the circle, in glowing yellow light, the radio falls apart. Satisfied, the Master kicks the pieces over to the next circle.]

He creates!

[Hands-putting and yellow light repeat, but this time, the pieces come together and the radio is whole again. Another kick sends the radio into the final circle. This time, when he puts his hands over the circle, the radio lights on fire]

He thinks this really needs some sort of incantation. And pictograms. Pictionary, now that's an idea. Magical pictionary, now with one hundred percent more setting on fire the idiot who can't get that a pair of stars is 'binary'! Buy now for the low low price of years studying molecular structure.

[The Master starts cleaning up the alchemy circles by smudging them away with his toe. He was always a very diligent student]

[ohhh, experiment is still a go!]

Because I didn't actually mean your lover. Anyway, Einstein isn't an alchemist, and don't you have that man you roll around in the snow with? That's the best choice.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Do you mean Charles? I don't think he'd be a good choice at all, though.

He's just a very good friend.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

No embarrassment, yet the repression persists.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

[frowning] There's no repression, I simply don't like men.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Very untrue. On several accounts! You should be ashamed of your mendacity!

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

What accounts?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

1: There is too repression.
1A: There is repression on sexual levels.
1B: There is repression on emotional levels.
1C: There is repression on intellectual levels.

And each could be subdivided from there, but we'd be here all century.

Then, there's the use of like. You do like men. You like their company, in a purely non-sexual way. Additionally, you're sexually attracted to men.

And there's nothing simple about this at all.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I'm not sexually attracted to them. Any relationships I've ever had with men, or anyone else, have been purely non-sexual, so you have nothing to base that on.

And why am I now repressed on an emotional level as well?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

The fact that you haven't had sex ever hardly proves that you're not repressed. It only indicates that whatever it is you want to shag is something you don't think you ought to.

Humans have an odd habit of intertwining shagging and emotions. I don't know why. Thus, emotional repression.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I don't want to have sex with anything. Anyone.

I'd like to think I'm perfectly capable of feeling emotions. a pause] Well, most of the time. I don't suppose that applies to now.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Liar.

You might be capable of it, but you still hold back. Naturally. Consciously, subconsciously.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Am not.

To some extent, yes, but everyone does that.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Are too.

Then you have to admit to doing it.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

I'm not.

But I just did, didn't I?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Yes, you are.

Immediately after denying it. How disorienting of you.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

No, I'm not.

Why are my feelings and sexuality suddenly of such interest to everyone? You never told me what I could do, to see more of the alchemy.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Punch me.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

...I'm sorry, what?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

It's the requirement. Hit me, and I'll show you more.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

But, why would you want me to do that?

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Masochism? Sadism? Sadomasochism? Boredom? I have no idea.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

-I'm sorry, I don't know what those first three words mean.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Masochism - pleasure at one's own pain. Sadism - pleasure at the pain of others. Sadomasochism - add option one to option b, and this is what you get.

[scienceandgod.livejournal.com]

Oh, that makes sense. Well, it doesn't really, not to me. But it's good to know what they mean at least, I suppose.

But why would you ask me to do that? I practice nonviolence. You've mocked it enough times to know that.

[savagestime.livejournal.com]

Because you practice non-violence, obviously.
