i imagine that the time war went something like this: >daleks attack gallifrey >time lords immediately form a committee to discuss what they should be doing >daleks attack gallifrey some more >several sub-committees have started >daleks attack gallifrey some more >the sub-committees have formed sub-sub-committees >daleks attack gallifrey some more >a few time lords get bored and start doing some war crimes the likes of which the universe has never seen before and cannot comprehend

He wonders what age he’s finally reached. The Time War used years as ammunition; at the Battle of Rodan’s Wedding alone, he’d aged to five million and then regressed to a mewling babe, merely from shrapnel. Now, the ache in his bones feels… one thousand years old? Well. Call it nine hundred. Sounds better.

In the same way RTD's 'Doctor Who and the Time War,' where the above quote is from, is a page from a novel that doesn't exist, this is a splash page from a comic that doesn't exist. Time War PTSD, much like the war itself, is multidimensional.

Now available as a print by popular demand!

If anyone cares this is how the war timeline currently works in my head.

Do you ever think about the fact that had the Doctor not lied about the fluid links and left Sakro when everyone else wanted to leave, then the Daleks never would have discovered the Tardis or reverse engineered their own time machine.

Meaning had the Doctor not been curious and selfish that one time, then the Time War never would have happened. He never would have lost Susan. He never would be the last of his kind; forever alone and doomed to live an eternity with the regret of his choices.

Do you think he even knows that it's all his own fault or does he refuse to recognize the connection for otherwise it would break him utterly?

Are you scared of the Big Bad Wolf, Doctor?
