Small, Beautiful Events

Reasons To Hate The Time Lords

A stagnant, overbearing, dull society. I couldn't change it as a youth, and quite frankly I've given up on it.

Smug xenophobia. I can, perhaps, be a bit condescending at times, but at least I don't lord myself over the rest of the universe simply because I'm what I am. Well, I try not to, and if I do I hope someone kicks me.

Ruthless politics. Yes, I do know firsthand. There's a reason I turned down the Presidency.

Family.

Having a beautiful world. I miss it sometimes. They don't even see most of it.

Jamie.

Zoe.

Exile. They assassinated me, trapped me, made me despise a world I loved. It became easier, with time, and I'll admit I grew quite fond of UNIT but I left for a reason. I still wish I could have shown Liz the stars.

Having me do their dirty work. No, I will not commit retroactive genocide, thank you very much. I don't have the right and neither do you. Sometimes…no.

Souring my relationship with Romana. Yes, all right, that was mostly me. I still wonder why they called her back. And if she'll ever return to this universe. If she'll want to see me when she does.

Omega.

Borusa. I admired him once, you know. He was the professor I could never fool. Irritating, but rather comforting in its way. I was lonely, sometimes. Gallifrey isn't a good world for role models. See above.

Koschei.

Ushas.
