#finds himself so fucking compromised about torvald but solidly ignores the feeling bc if he acknowledged it he'd have to give him up

[lerios]

re: narvin and andred/torvald–of course more explicit gay content is always welcome but narvin's line "torvald was a fool. but he was my fool" sounds so suggestive that I really thought they meant to imply they had an affair. especially because it's the closest thing to affection to anyone we get from narvin in the first two series at least

lmao yeah fair enough, honestly i assumed that was just narvin being A Lot and Weird, as he seems inclined towards being. like he's proper and put-together (at that point in cannon) but he's also got that gallifreyan brainrot to such a high degree that it's surprisingly feasible that he would say practically anything, if it could be conceivably justified as being in service of gallifrey. he'd call it care between brothers in arms or something

but GOD, the idea of narvin having absolutely no warmth or vulnerability in his life in season 1/2 and that causing his temptation towards an affair with torvald is my favourite thing. "it's just CIA tradition, it's just stress relief" he tells himself as he finds himself wildly biased towards his 2nd in command who, entirely coincidentally, is the only person who's touched him in a calendar year
