me, leela, the doctor, any non time lord that's ever been to Gallifrey:
#get fucked futuristic 18th century british facism planet#Fs in chat for narvin still having at least some of the time lord supremacist imperialist brainworms though#i am Very intrigued as to how the most religious man on gallifrey is going to take Gallifreyan Jesus coming back to life#especially given the fact that narvin seems to have the capacity for genuinely complex thoughts and ethical dilemas now - even (i think) in#regards to gallifreyan civil religion#it must be so tempting to fall right back into the comfort and simplicity of faith (or zealotry if you'd rather)#i feel like big finish is going to fumble this#but yeah no i would love to see more consideration of narvin's shattering faith (that he absolutely does not consider to be faith)#and how that affects his decision making#how much is genuine belief and how much is WANTING to still believe#like come ON‚ narvin is currently getting deprogammed from military imperialist white man's burden catholicism#HOW IS THAT NOT MORE OF A FOCUS?#or am i going mad here‚ like‚ i assumed the faith/religion/cult (up to interpretation) angle of gallifrey was intentional#but they haven't really done much with it :/#anyway i need to write fobwatched 1800s catholic cardinal narvin‚ i've been thinking about that for months#narvin would be fucking mortified afterward about 'indulging in primitive supersition'‚ but he wouldn't have actually sounded much differen#swap 'rassilon' for jesus and 'president' for pope. same shit#gallifrey#narvin
