madam, what year is this? |
ao3: dragonwings948 Call me Beebs! I'm a full-time writer and fangirl who loves Doctor Who way too much for my own good. Just trying my best to love people like Jesus loves them 🧡 |
Thinking about Narvin telling Leela “I think I preferred it when you didn’t understand sarcasm” and…we know the Madame President who taught her sarcasm 🥹
Honestly? It never feels like Brax and Romana are ever actually talking in an official capacity, even when they are. It feels sorta like that tutor/pupil relationship, sorta like friendship, sorta idk what else, but it’s way more familiar than Cardinal and Madame President.
When Brax overrides Romana’s order to lower the transduction barriers, he carefully explains why it was a bad idea. Multiple times throughout the story, Romana asks his opinion/thoughts on what’s happening. Even “Et tu, Braxiatel?” when you think about it, implies that she trusts Brax quite a lot. And then there’s Brax’s happy “Madame President!!!” at the end.
Idk where this is going but I just have Thoughts and this is a super interesting nuance that the writers planted here at the very beginning
ruby-red-inky-blue asked:
Do we think Merrin kept one of Cal's bazillion wanted posters around, like Maid Marian from the Disney Robin Hood who was keeping Robin's poster stuck to the inside of her wardrobe like a pinup? Because. I do.
absolutely yes, perfect idea

Back on Tumblr for the Gallifrey relisten 👀
Curious, so I’m going to do a little research here. I want to know how many new listeners we have in this listen
have you listened to gallifrey before
I have not listened to ANY gallifrey
I have listened to LESS THAN four episodes
I have listened to SOME but not beyond Enemy Lines
I have listened to A LOT but not beyond Time War 4
I have listened to MOST BUT NOT ALL
I have listened to ALL OF IT before
I’m not participating in the (re)listen
some other answer?

Im sick of people trashing the ‘damsel in distress. That simply means a girl who can’t save herself. If you want to write a story about a girl who saves the day do so, but don’t stomp on those who can’t help themselves that’s not what heroes do.
THIS ✨
And even if the damsel can’t save herself, she maintains her kind and pure soul without hatred, which requires a whole new level of strength ✨
sometimes she can’t save herself but she is calling out for help and that in itself is a valuable thing - to emphasise that we are all worthy of help and allowed to ask for it

Just relistened to Neverland/Zagreus/Scherzo as I’m introducing my husband to Big Finish so here are some memes that no one asked for
In light of the Gallifrey relisten, I think it’s time to bring these back…

Who is behind this?
that would be me, Jae, main blog is @stopmyhearts. Feel free to say hi to me there. I’ve been a fan of Gallifrey since November 2024 and became very obsessed very fast. I am being helped by @daughterofheartshaven and @sircarolyn as well as a bunch of other mutuals.
Here are some fan-made transcripts for many of the stories if you could use them (warning for first time listeners: the transcripts for series 1 have spoilers!)
