One of the things that I think makes Narvin such a compelling character is that he’s one of the only actual proper time lords we get to see in the doctor who universe. Like we see plenty of other time lords but they’re either renegades (or close enough), have some sort of importance to time lord society/history as a whole, or just aren’t in enough stories to truly get to know

But narvin is really just some guy, yeah he has a high ranking job, but he’s a time lord who (at least at the beginning of gallifrey) holds the same views about the universe as most other time lords. But unlike many other time lords like this he sticks around long enough for us to get to see him grow and change, we get to see his views/ideas/morality get challenged and the consequences of that

I just really like getting to see a time lord who has little to no knowledge about human life and culture that we also get to know on a deeper level than just a side character or someone who’s only in an episode or two

[narvin]

listen gallifrey is a nightmare death planet I have to believe that time lords can be easily converted back into terrifying apex predators if they spend a long enough time outside. like how domesticated pigs will revert to wild ones within a few generations

LOOMING AND THE IMPACT ON THE LEVEL OF INBREEDING ON THE TIME LORD POPULATION, AN ESSAY

And how inbreeding is a big issue amongst the Time Lord population, due to their elitism and strict caste system.

[gotyouanyway]

what i’m liking about gallifrey so far is that it’s structured like a sitcom without being one. these are sitcom characters in a serious genre

[cosmik-homo]

Wait, is it eventually established how old is narvin/ is he around the same age range as Romana? Not cuz it would mean anything in particular if they arent, just. Trying ot get the vibe

[theholmwoodfoundation]

"Jeremy fobwatched Narvin" would at least mean he wasn't actually related to his father so he might take that as a win...

This is a fair and valid point. Although starting with the time war and working backwards, there’s probably quite a lot he wouldn’t consider a win.

I've fallen back down the Spy x Family rabbit hole again.

They're so cute <3

I've started listening to the first boxset of Gallifrey: War Room and...I'm struggling to even make it through the second story. While I do like getting to see Leela shine more (like she did in the previous Gallifrey audios), except taking center stage this time, I do miss the dynamic of the old cast (I’m talking the Gallifrey OT4: Romana, Leela, Brax & Narvin.) It just feels weird without them. I like the dynamic between Leela and the General, and I would love to see more interaction between Leela and Rassilon, but I really don't care for the other characters. I'm honestly left wondering what was Big Finish's thoughts with making War Room? If Leela doesn’t free Romana or do something to bring back her friends or save Gallifrey herself, I’m gonna consider this a wasted boxset.

[raspberry-gloaming]

I'm curious to what type of robes she would be allowed to wear. Like everything on Gallifrey, clothing seems to be linked to rank, even if it is mainly to do with how many shevrons your robes have in classic who. Leela is different - an outsider, but also has the rank of lady. I feel like there's a big debate amongst time lords of whether its worse for her to wear time lord tm robes without being a timelord or to where her home culture's clothing with so much exposed skin. Leela on the other hand doesn't give one fuck. She is cutting the sleeves off robes and suddenly they have the worst of both options.

really the most plausible clothes for leela to wear would be modified time lord robes. like she just nicks some standard robes and cuts the sleeves off to the horror of all time lords everywhere. and rolls with it

i love that every once in a while gallifrey tumblr will just pass around a post talking about how hot mary tamm is

[cough-droplet]

So I just watched The Enemy of the World, which is the story where the Doctor is asked to impersonate an aspiring dictator who happens to look exactly like him

And it absolutely slapped and there's a million super fascinating things about it I've been rambling to my friends but the one that really really got me is the fact that it's very emphatically set in the year 2018, aka now a couple years ago

I am obsessed with this fact, I need some Doctor Who writer to pick up on it and bring it up. I need something like, the Doctor pulls out a bunch of pictures of their past selves to explain regeneration to the newest companion but then has to leave the room and leaves the pictures there and it's just like

Companion's supporting-cast family member or something: (walks in and sees the pictures) "Hey, who're these people?" Companion: "Oh, they're-" Supporting-cast family member: "Oh wait no I know this guy, he was on the news! Remember, that politician who turns out was keeping a bunch of slaves in an underground bunker? Killed a bunch of people?" Companion: "What?"

And then the companion tries to subtly bring it up around the Doctor to try and figure out if that was him without arousing suspicion but it just doesn't inspire confidence

Companion: "Hey, Doctor, you ever been involved in politics?" The Doctor: (having been the president of both Gallifrey and Earth) "Yeah, why"

Gallifrey. Ancestral home of the Time Lords. Some have lived there all their lives, some have adopted it as their own. Allies, thrown together by circumstance and strife, have forged lasting friendships in the furnace of politics, alternate realities, and the Last Great Time War. 

Gallifrey is constant, but its inhabitants must change to survive. Perhaps none more so than Narvin...

I've been keeping this under my hat for so long, but I'm afraid Holmwood isn't the only writing partnership that @georgiacooked and I have been working on this year. We wrote the second story in this up and coming boxset - The Questing Beast!

The Questing Beast by Fio Trethewey & Georgia Cook, read by Miles Richardson  Battling the Lord Burner, Braxiatel is separated from his friends as they fall through a multitude of alternative Gallifreys. He arrives in a realm where science is magic and there is a Dragon to be slain...

I made this post the same day Big Finish postponed the release by two months—but now this post is over two months old…..

I see that we have a subtitle (War Room 2: Manoeuvres), but that is extremely little. alas it seems like Big Finish is releasing story info/cover art/trailers now for August stories, which means it’ll probably be another month (I swear they used to release story info much further out from the release…..)

@ big finish can we please have a bit of info on War Room 2. a cast list. a writers list. episode descriptions. a cover. any of the above would do.

oh my god traaaaaavvveee. crazy situation to be in. this is. man time travel is messed up

Welcome to the Holmwood Foundation

Sanguis Vita Est

The Holmwood Foundation is a Found Footage Horror-Fiction Podcast created by Fio Trethewey @fiotrethewey (Big Finish: Gallifrey War Room, 18th Wall Productions) and Georgia Cook @georgiacooked (Big Finish: The Eleventh Doctor Chronicles, Gallifrey War Room, BBC Books, The Dracula Daily Sketch Collection). It is a modern day sequel to the gothic novel Dracula. 

What is the Holmwood Foundation about?

Our story follows Jeremy Larkin (Played by Sean Carlsen) and Maddie Townsend (Played by Rebecca Root), two co-workers at the mysterious Holmwood Foundation, as they are possessed by the ghosts of Jonathan and Mina Harker, and embark on a road trip across the country in an effort to achieve their ghost's wishes: to stop Dracula once and for all. This is a story about identity and self discovery, family loyalty and devotion, all wrapped around a nightmare of a road trip with a rejuvenating severed head, incredibly sincere Victorian ghosts, and an analogue recorder. (Content Warnings for blood, horror themes and possession)
