#Gallifrey War Room

[georgiacooked]

Into another Droughtula, so finishing up a quick Doctor Who Sticker set in the free time.

Taking a trip back to Gallifrey for the current War Room Big Finish cast. Featuring Veklin, Ollistra, The General, Rasmus, (The War) Narvin, Rassilon, and Cresta!

(As I wrote one of the episodes, I should probably note that this design for Cresta/her uniform is in no way definitive canon. This is just how I picture her!)

Gallifrey: War Room 3 has been pushed back to November 2026 and 4 even further…

War Room I: The First Days of Phaidon animatic!

And it’s finally done! It took me about a month to finish (I think? I started it at some point, then I forgot about it, then remembered again) and for the past couple of weeks this was all I was doing art-wise after work. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out!

@fiotrethewey ‘s The First Days of Phaidon is one of my fave audios featuring Leela and Narvin and planning their acting in this scene was very entertaining. It’s so surreal to watch the final result :3

Also I got to test ToonSquid and Procreate Dreams along the way so maybe I can give you some impressions if you’re interested 🤔

I would also appreciate it so much if you take 1,5 minutes of your time and watch it and if you enjoyed it like/comment/share it. The fandom is really small and algorithms hate videos making it REALLY hard to get responses for a pretty exhausting work that goes along with making a big project. Your support means a lot to me and also gives my demotivated brain a carrot to motivate it to do more stuff like this :3

Leela/Narvin War Room Moodboard

[arkytior-lungbarrow]

I can't stop thinking about Narvin at the end of Ambition's Debt. He just sounds so hollow...lost. The war has taken everything from him that he's ever cared even the slightest bit about. He's lost his family, his beacon, his hope and faith, and once again, his rock...one of the few things that's kept him grounded throughout the war. He's closing himself off, shoving away what little he has left, keeping it all at a distance. His resolve - his universe - is just disintegrating around him faster than he has time to truly process. I'm terrified he's heading down a terribly dark path from which we he may never recover.

Someone, please just give this poor man a hug and let him cry.

[theladyjojogrant]

Having some mildly incoherent thoughts about War Room 2 and the Gally trio this morning. May or may not make sense, spoilers below the cut:

When was the last time we saw Narvin “thinking with his hearts” instead of his head like he does in WR 2?

When he tried to wipe the Daleks from existence to save Romana.

Romana wasn’t there, just like she isn’t here now as Narvin is falling apart.

Narvin and Leela have managed without Romana before, but never for this long, and never like this. When things get bad, really bad, all Leela can do is stubbornly tell Narvin that there is hope, there is a reason to keep going, but she can’t explain why because she doesn’t know herself. She just knows there is hope. There has to be.

But that doesn’t work with Narvin’s analytical, rational mind. Normally, this is where Romana would step in and placate him with facts, numbers, figures. It’s what he understands. But Romana isn’t here. Leela can’t give him the facts he needs to believe in a better future. 

Romana, Leela, and Narvin can no longer function without each other. As the gap where Romana should be widens, everything is tipping out of balance. Leela, Leela is becoming the rational one, the one who must serve the system she hates and play by the rules that go against her deepest values.

Meanwhile, Narvin, Narvin’s rationality is dissolving as he loses his grip on everything and everyone he loves. (Besides, if he doesn’t have anyone to love, who is he? The guy we all hated way back in S1. And he physically can’t become him again. So what does he become if he loses everything?)

[ozzieinspacetime]

Every day I think about the overarching War Room plot of Romana being trapped in the Matrix and every day I ponder the possibility of her coming back Wrong. Do you get me

Wake up babe, it's 2 am and the new gally war room cover dropped

[riversofmars]

It's been just over three weeks since Gallifrey War Room 2 was released and I'm in deep. I need to know their past.

Come on Big Finish, give me a bell and I'll write it for you. I have IDEAS!

the chicken reviews

after time war 3 i began rating gallifrey episodes based on how many chickens appeared in them. last night i found the reviews again, so i figured i'd post them here so i can continue the tradition when war room 2 comes out :D

(quick disclaimer: these are just fun reviews, not to be taken too seriously)

enjoy :)

time war 4

time war 4.1: deception

no actual chickens, but there is a reference to a Large Beast when leela's trying to get back to the tardis. no description is given, so it is entirely possible it was a Very Large Chicken. but, given the lack of description, we can't know for sure. 1/10.

time war 4.2: dissolution

once again, no chickens, despite them being on a luscious green planet. no chickens are mentioned. if you listen carefully, you can hear some birds chirping in the background, but none of them are chickens. disappointing. 0/10.

time war 4.3: beyond

no physical chickens yet. however, it's made clear the ravenous can possess characteristics of that which they eat, so it's possible a ravenous that ate a chicken has characteristics of a chicken, but we don't know for sure. 0.5/10

time war 4.4: homecoming

no chickens appear. no chickens are mentioned. there aren't even any animals i could try to headcanon as chickens. rassilon probably killed all the chickens. -100/10.

war room 1

the last days of freme: -100/10

no chickens, and whatever chickens may have been there previously, died. very disappointing.

the passenger: 0/10

no chickens. no places there could plausibly have been chickens :( once again left disappointed.

collateral victim: 0.01/10

once again, no chickens :( however, there was the POTENTIAL for chickens, and i will give it .01 points for that.

the first days of phaidon: 0.01/10

same as the previous story: no chickens, but there is potential for chickens, and therefore it gets the .01 points.

More information about the release under the cut:

The War Room co-ordinates the fight against the Daleks, but there is a battle for control. Rival Cardinals Rasmus and Ollistra manipulate Leela, Veklin and the General, seeking Rassilon's favour. And beyond Gallifrey, Narvin and the Resistance are making their own moves to stop the Time War...

2.1 Collaborators by Katharine Armitage Gallifrey and the Resistance are in a race to secure a vital alliance. But playing politics means secrets, lies and betrayal... and Leela, caught in the middle, must try to rescue honour from chaos.

2.2 Remnants by Georgia Cook A distress call from a Gallifreyan outpost brings the General, Rasmus and Veklin into contact with weapons of the Time War from both sides. Trapped, young Time Lord Cresta fights for her life against a relentless foe.

2.3 Transference by Fio Trethewey When a promising scientist is injured and his new technology stolen, Ollistra sets Leela on the trail. Her hunt takes her outside the Citadel to Lowtown, where a shock awaits. Narvin has returned to Gallifrey. But in trying to help his kin, he risks more than he knows.

2.4 Ambition’s Debt by Katharine Armitage Tensions run high in the War Room as the battle for control intensifies. A world has gone missing, the Daleks are too quiet, and something new lurks in the shadows... A dangerous plan is set in motion with the potential to change everything.
