hmm it’s something about how they’re treating leela as a prisoner but still as a person they’re working with.. they’ve ALL got guns to their heads about this mission but if they didn’t, if it was a different mission and they were all on the same side….

Romana: Well, I don’t know, Narvin! You’re the one who seems to know her better than anyone!

Is she...actually jealous here? Obviously it's setting us up to wonder if Narvin really was working with Allora when Romana and Narvin pull their trick, but they haven't conferred and thought of that yet. I think Romana might actually just be a bit jealous.

Introducing Fred, Our Layout & Graphics Mod 

Where can we find you? 

Tumblr: @v4n1r

Ao3: Gremlin_of_Space

What first drew you to the Gallifrey audios?

Honestly, I was lovingly bullied by some friends during the pandemic. Last year of high school was at the start of the pandemic and really made me take a dive off the deep end. I was on a Doctor Who server and somebody recommended the audios to pass the time. So I started binging the audios as I did school work and painted Warhammer. 

Now I’m here for the angst. 

How did you become a mod for this project?

I was contacted by Skye to ask questions about how layouts work and stuff since xe knew I had done a magazine as part of my Visual Communication subject. I was immediately brought into the team as a mod and I’m really happy I was. It’s a great way to celebrate such a unique series and its beloved characters (not you, Darkel).

What is your favorite series of Gallifrey?

Okay, for real here, I haven’t gotten past season 4. The opening for s4 ep1 literally broke my brain and I’m too attached and scared to continue listening to them. 

Out of the three series I’ve fully listened to, it’s gonna be either 2 or 3. The conspiracies were great and Narvin’s arc from “I couldn’t care if Romana and Leela died or lived” to “those are my friends/comrades” is too good. I’m a sucker for an enemies to friends/lovers arc.

What is your favorite episode of Gallifrey?

The one where Wynter died. I don’t know why it just really hit the nail on the head about how screwed they all are. 

Tell us about your involvement in Gallifrey fandom (and any other creative projects you want to share).

I am a writer, primarily. I actually worked on Address to the Refugees with Skye, and I have several one shots, mainly ot4 shipping. I can’t help myself, there’s just too many good moments and, once again, love enemies to lovers. 

Other than that, I mainly stalk the tumblr tag and occasionally reblog something. This would be the biggest Gallifrey thing I’ve done. 

Outside of Gallifrey, I was a writer and moderator for the Doctor Who Hope Zine, a charity zine raising funds for a charity that provided free help to frontline healthcare workers affected by the pandemic. I created some sweet, little announcement banners and operated their marketing and tech based jobs.

if other doctors did human nature:

one is badly cosplaying as a teacher at coal hill. susan, not having regenerative abilities, is watching over him. barbara and ian have never met the doctor as the doctor; as far as they know, he's just their crotchety coworker doctor foreman, who STILL won't share his first name. the doctor was on the run from gallifrey when he stumbled upon the family... now he's just on the run from the family of blood. regrettably, barbara got a bit too nosy in the doctor's office at one point, and took his fob watch. can susan recover the fob watch from ian and barbara before it's too late?

two lands jamie and zoe in jamie's era. look it's all very well and good that you know how to navigate eighteenth-century scotland, jamie, but i'm a bit out of my depth here!

if three did this, literally nothing would change, except that now the brigadier is being harassed by two human scientists who are smarter than him rather than one. the master lands on earth and tries to sell the doctor out to the family, only for it to backfire; the brigadier's men try and fail to shoot the family; liz insists the master pay for her therapy. the doctor barely notices the difference when he becomes a time lord again

there are two different ways i'd want to play four as a human. the first is this: harry and sarah have to put up with him. stationed at a naval base, harry and sarah must ward off the family whilst also warding off the doctor's insanity. sarah is disguised as the doctor's estranged younger brother (don't question the crossdressing) and harry is disguised as harry. inevitably things go wrong.

alternatively: rather than staying in e-space, romana returns to the main universe with the doctor. unfortunately, they manage to attract the family along the way; adric must badly pretend to be human whilst corralling two fob watched time lords who have chosen a really bad time to plan their wedding

tegan and turlough have plenty of experience with hiding from aliens, being on earth, and putting up with the doctor, but boy is he annoying as a human

the doctor gives peri exactly zero instructions and then lands them in the 1300s as an amnesiac human in the midst of the black death. peri is at her FUCKING LIMIT

much like three, very little changes for eight. this is the only one i'd still be tempted to set in 1913 à la the vna/nuwho episodes. charley gets to explore the recent past (to her, anyway) whilst acting as the severely amnesiac john smith's caretaker

honestly, rose and jack would be a remarkably competent team to be saddled with the doctor as a human... and he's falling in love with both of them, of course

amy vs the family: amy has won. rory gets possessed by the family but don't worry, it gets unwritten from time. the doctor is never doing that again, ever, yuck, he ate pears, YUCK

i don't think clara could be trusted with the doctor as a human, and if this was bill and nardole, i don't think the doctor would change much as a human. missy is not fob watched because she is in the vault and therefore simply inaccessible. bill continues to get set weird essays. the family are so focused on trying to get to missy (who they KNOW is there) that they fail to realise the doctor is there and simply perish within their three-month lifespans

[thetardisisnotourdivision]

Ok I mean absolutely no offence to anyone but;

All the people saying that making Susan a villain would be a bold move - have you SEEN the classic series??? This autistic teenage girl has more feral energy than any other companion except perhaps Leela and was TERRIFYING when she wanted to be. She tried to stab Ian and Barbara. She fucked up a bunch of cavemen and put a human skull on a flaming torch for comedic effect.

Not to MENTION the amount of trauma that girl has. Time War? Losing her entire family twice/three times?? (Because she'd have outlived her human family on Earth. The third family is Team TARDIS btw). Abandonment issues??? It's not a huge leap to assume that something traumatic happened on Gallifrey, given how she acts. She's also related to the Timeless Child - god knows how many times she's regenerated - for all we know, she discovered a long time ago that she is incapable of dying, and she has no idea why. Couple that with violent tendencies and an extreme talent for telepathy (even the Doctor was surprised by how strong her abilities were) and you've got an extremely messed up character.

Make Susan the villain! Show kids that if life fucks you up, sometimes you fuck up too, and that doesn't mean you're unworthy of love! Have her commit atrocities to try and get the Doctor to come back to her! Let her fuck shit up!

Random Doctor Who Facts You Might Not Know, Part 20: Academy Era Edition

Please note that some Academy Era info is dispersed throughout the other parts as well; I just wanted to make one dedicated to these nerds. I am not repeating stuff from other parts (purposefully, there may be some accidents, but I'm trying not to repeat things like Koschei teaching Theta hypnosis or like the hyperball team) or including some basic info I think are decently well known (like Torvic or the Gallifrey Academy Hot Five). ;)

The Master's real name is 32 letters long.

As students, Theta and Koschei enjoyed building time flow analogues to mess with each others experiments.

Koschei once gave Susan a toy which was actually a communication node that he could use to find the Doctor and Susan if they ever left Gallifrey.

Theta and Koschei also used to sneak out of the Academy to drink with Shobogans. On one such occasion, Koschei picked a fight with six drunk Shobogans.

Theta's name day and Otherstide are on the same day.

Koschei often hypnotized people as a joke. He was never punished for it.

Drax had a home-made skimmer that he would often use to go to his House rather than stay in the Academy dormitories. He'd also give Jelpax rides home because they lived close by.

Koschei was in charge of organizing the end-of-term parties, but the Eighth Doctor remembers that they weren't very good.

While at the Academy, Theta and Koschei traveled to Gallifrey's past in search of Valdemar, an ancient entity and Old One, but they found nothing of Old Ones. Theta was horrified by Valdemar's power while Koschei was fascinated.

When Vansell broke his leg while climbing Mount Cadon, Theta created a localized time bubble with a sonic wrench and two lengths of twine. This accelerated the healing process, and it was healed in two minutes.

Koschei and Theta also once traveled to Machasma and used sonic agitation to get out of a tight spot.

Theta Sigma came fourth place in the Time Lord Academy Sprint Championship.

Millennia had a natural gift for temporal engineering, and Theta believed she would one day make great intellectual achievements.

Tebediatroculozan attended the Academy at the same time as the Deca. He was incredibly clever but also envious of the Doctor for the adventures he had. The Eighth Doctor helped him move past this jealousy.

When Koschei stared into the Untempered Schism, he noted with much contempt that the Time Lords who had taken him there all refused to look at it themselves.

Mortimus is likely about 50 years younger than Theta Sigma.

The Second Doctor recalled that Koschei enjoyed being scared of the dark too much.

The Toymaker had Theta play Capture the Flag and thought that Theta had cheated.

When the Toymaker was using Rallon's body, Rallon had enough influence over his personality that the Toymaker had a sense of "good and evil." When the Toymaker went against the Fourteenth Doctor, he was no longer using Rallon's body, so this was not the case.

Theta was Borusa's teacher's pet, and Borusa favored him over other students. Later on, the Doctor would believe this was why the Master was bitter towards him.

In fact, an unproduced story's original script originally had the Doctor’s grandfather be named Borusa, but it was later changed to Pandak.

While at the Academy, Koschei befriended Salyavin and manipulated him to gain access to the restricted libraries. He wanted to steal The Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey but could not find it, and Salyavin took the blame for his wrongdoing.

Part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28

[master-missysversion]

These are just some of my favourites, honestly it was hard to choose

Full quotes under the cut

"Then it was a mercy killing" "I don't see in mercy in you"

"You cannot build an ionic membrane from scratch" "if I had crayons and half a can of spam, I could build you from scratch!"

"They'll be writing operas about our pointless deaths if we don't take drastic action right now!"

"And what are you Queen of, exactly? A stolen ship and second-hand guns? A Queen of shreds and patches. You're not a ruler, you're a parasite."

"In my time, Gallifrey doesn't exist. It's gone. Forever. And if you don't know that, you're in my past. So, you are only serving at the glory of ash and bone."

"Ryan, I've lived for thousands of years. So long I've lost count. I've had so many faces. How long have you been here? You don't know me. Not even a little bit."

"You want to call it? Do it now. All of you. (silence) Yeah. Cos sometimes this team structure isn't flat. It's mountainous, with me at the summit in the stratosphere, alone, left to choose. Save the poet, save the universe. Watch people burn now or tomorrow."

"It is the Doctor! The Doctor is an enemy of the Daleks!" "Yes, it is. And, yes, I am. I called you here and you came, like obedient little pets"

"As hard as it is for you to understand, this isn't about you. This is about Daleks."

"For your guilt you mean. Sometimes men like you make me wonder why I bother with humanity."

That conversation is too long to copy here but feel free to refresh your memory here (ctrl + f the word 'beneath' to skip to their conversation)

"Yes, people have written songs about her" "They'll be writing operas about our pointless deaths if we don't take drastic action right now!"

[gotyouanyway]

i gotta say. as much as these people loudly proclaim ALL THE TIME that they don't trust each other. they sure act like they more or less trust each other

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

do you ever imagine what it would be like if instead of just dubbing and losing all the britishness in translation, what had happened with doctor who was national adaptations like they do with game shows like masterchef or whatever or uh skam thats a better comparison, and every country had their own series of doctors, all at different numbers like if the dutch show spinned off when the english was at 4 or smth but we just started with our own dutch doctor number 1

and maybe they'd like start off just sort of copying stories and localising them but then as time goes on these national spin offs would you know start building on their own lore and seasonal arcs that would get removed further and further from the british original until it's like 2024 and you've got 15 national doctor whos running somewhat simultaneously all in different seasons and all preoccupied with INCREDIBLY different stories

it'd be like 'whos your favourite doctor' and you'd be like uh the polish 3rd or the brazilian 12th it's a toss up. what if some countries go through doctors way faster and theyre like on doctor 44 and youre like WHAT are they DOING to them

and can you imagne the fucking CNAONS can yuo IMAGINE can you IMAGINE the FANDOM when SOMEone decided to make looms canon and all the losers come out of the woodwork to say well thats not REALLY canon bc it's not the british version. imagine the localisations, the reinforcements of every countrys national history. what would countries who have more history being colonised than colonising do with gallifrey. how would every Important PartTM of the show be transformed by the perspective of another team. what even are identified as the Important PartsTM of the show. maybe one country decides the tardis should change appearance every week. maybe one country is like we're just gonna put all the edas on television. the amount of OPINIONS can you imagine

[bnxxshthealien]

Predictions for Empire of Death:

Carole Ann Ford will appear as Susan Foreman

Mrs Flood won’t actually be evil

The Toymaker and Maestro will come back and team up with the Doctor to stop Sutekh

At least one of the other gods (the trickster, the mara, reprobate etc.) will make an appearance

The cloaked woman / ruby’s mother is NOT the trickster but is one of these: 1. Ruby herself 2. The Doctor 3. Tecteun 4. Jenny (and Ruby is Susan) 5. Susan Foreman 6. Susan Triad 7. Sutekh 8. The Lord President (hell bent reference) 9. The Master 10. Ood Sigma

It’s not the Rani. It’s never the Rani

A good ending, but not a complete ending: the universe will be changed forever

It will be relevant to flux & the timeless child

The Doctor will be sad

At least someone will be under a chameleon arch (i have been wrong about this enough times)

One of these people will die: 1. Kate 2. Mel 3. Ruby 4. Carla 5. Colonel Ibrahim 6. The TARDIS 7. Ruby’s birth mother

More Doctor backstory & Gallifrey lore

[sparrowlucero]

which plays are the vortisaurs in?? your designs are gorgeousss

They occur a few times throughout the eighth doctor's run but the main appearances are Storm Warning (his first episode) and No More Lies.

Though because the fx team reuses a pterosaur model to portray birds on gallifrey I personally like to think they show up in the tv show too
