Drifter13

I reblog fandom stuff.

[the13thdrifter]

I made a thing and I'm posting it everywhere because I'm proud of it god damn it

[bluehairedspidey]

on the subject of it often being out of character for characters to be having carefully negotiated bdsm sex in smut fics: 90% of metal gear ships are insane toxic yaoi and would definitely be having sex that is neither safe nor sane and only borderline consensual HOWEVER otacon and snavid would be thoroughly negotiating kinks before during and after sex like theyre doing mission briefings on a codec call

[transfem-monarchist-laura-rolla]

[llithiumstars]

yeah sure i'll post that

[lerios]

gallifrey is an audio show and no one ever explicitly says that time lords aren't muppets so sometimes i make a scene infinitely better by imagining that leela is the only real humanoid there and romana, brax, and narvin are just. kermitting around

[lerios]

i will never get over brax deciding he could just declare himself chancellor as long as he didn't make a big deal out of it. it's got the vibes of like, when your dog knows it shouldn't doing something but figures that as long as it does it reaaaallly slowly you won't notice. as if romana's vision is based on movement or some shit

In the midst of a deep depression pit nearly half a year old, I let my bookshelves fall into disrepair, including my beloved Gallifrey shelf. Well, it’s finally been restored!

Fun fact: the bullet belt underneath the CDs was worn by Seán Carlsen for his Time War!Narvin cosplay at Gallifrey One 2025. He asked for my assistance in acquiring one, since he didn’t want to fly overseas with his and risk security getting the wrong idea. Obviously this meant he couldn’t fly back with it, so now it’s just waiting for me to cosplay Narvin I guess!

I’m always very proud of the gallifrey fandom; all of the merch on this shelf is fan made, by a sea full of talented artists and writers within the zine.

Body swap with the gallifrey ot3 as a way to explore the disabilities they’ve acquired

Narvin ends up in Leela’s body and is kind of scared to find that she, the human, is stronger than he is, not even by virtue of her having more training (though that’s definitely an aspect), but her joints are more stable (though some still ache from old, poorly healed injuries) and he doesn’t want to think what this means for the one body he has left. He also gets overwhelmed by the hound enhanced senses she has, although he can no longer see colors properly and things are a little fuzzy

Leela ends up in Romana’s body and is immediately taken aback by how much pain she’s in, Romana usually puts up a good front, but the amount of pain she’s hit with so suddenly almost makes Leela collapse. Her head hurts and it’s hard to keep her thoughts in order, her wrists ache, and it takes effort for her to make her legs function normally, Leela is astounded that she’d ever seen Romana run, though she understands why she hates it so much now. And even without Romana’s brain, her body still remembers everything that happened and Leela finds that she’s always at least a little tense

Romana ends up in Narvin’s body and the pain is so different that it’s a relief. Her joints ache a bit, but it’s not like the stabbing she gets in her knees from standing for too long. There’s a persistent ringing in her ears and she can’t quite hear what the others are saying, and there’s something off about her balance. She also realizes she’s having a harder time breathing when they start running around to try and fix this, she can barely get air through Narvin’s respiratory bypass

And of course when they get switched back they don’t actually talk about this, but they find themselves doing little things to help each other in the areas they now know they struggle

[restoranipivo]

narvin, don't say that!!!!

[punk-prydonian]

I haven’t listened to it yet, but I kinda love that Gallifrey has its own sorta separate sub-fandom to Doctor Who. Everyone is freaking out about that season finale and meanwhile the Gallifrey people are just like, “So anyway, about these messy, near immortal bitches and the attack human that got left on their doorstep…”

[mintyimperiatrix]

it's probably been done before but this came to me in a dream

[measured-robshearfan]

You know, I would still have some respect for Andred if he had talked to Leela and explained that he's still alive any of the many times during these four episodes the two of them were alone and unobserved. Instead of staying in character and being an absolute dick to her.

Or if he'd entrusted her with his plans before his meeting with Narvin.

And what makes it even worse, is that Leela suffers a bit of a character regression between The Invasion of Time and Zagreus / Weapon of Choice. She's less aware of how Gallifreyan society works, or what words mean, K9 says in Square One that she can't read (or at least not well).

And from a Doylist perspective, this can be explained as bad, racist, writing. Which, fair enough, it is. But on a watsonian perspective... how long has Leela been living on Gallifrey now, with Andred? For longer than Romana has been president, I'd assume, and she got captured and was gone for 20 years. Was she just Andred's exotic housewife during all this time, removed from society? She was curious during her time with Four, learning how to write even! I don't believe she'd suddenly lose all of her curiosity like that. Did Andred just not engage with her on any level beyond “this is my hot wife from another planet”? Did he not try to help her fulfill her curiosity, get better at reading and writing? Did they not talk about Gallifreyan politics, a topic that would have affected Leela personally, with all of the xenophobia / racism and her being a human? What kind of terrible husband was Andred, and how did Leela keep loving him for so long until his death / regeneration?

Rest in piss, you won't be missed. Someone please tell me I don't have to keep dealing with that fucker in S2...

[measured-robshearfan]

#he sucks so bad i hate him#i genuinely do not know how anyone thinks that was a good marriage lol#she was in love with a version of him that did not exist

Yes, YES! Reading this made me think back to The Invasion of Time, and I think what Leela fell in love with wasn't at all Andred, but the idea of him as a mirror of her. They were the two people leading the rebellion on Gallifrey against the invasion; her with the people who were expelled from the Capitol and the outsiders, him with the Chancellery guard. She stayed on Gallifrey because leading the fight against the Sontarans was the first time she felt like she belonged, and she stayed with Andred because he was a symbol of that fight. Only that fight was won and done, the moment over, Leela once again in a place she did not belong, with Andred being the only reminder of that brief time during which she'd felt "at home".

What I am also saying is that, had she known this was an option, Leela would have tried to marry Rodan, and probably lived a much happier life until whatever shenanigans would have happened with her in the Gallifrey series.

Time Lord historians debating:

"If Rassilon were alive today he'd be disgusted by modern Gallifrey"

"No. He wanted battle and expansion! The Daleks are a pure evil that must be eradicated! He would encourage us to continue!"

Rassilon's consciences in the Gallifreyan Matrix: SHIIIT I wish I could have Omega bounce on it freaky style and cry pathetically one last time

’The enmity of ages’

‘The Doctor… and the Master!’

Never getting over the way the High Council in End of Time pt 2 just immediately KNEW what two bitches the seer was on about in that prophecy. They all looked so resigned to their fates. Like yeahhh ok it’s Johnny fuck-you-Gallifrey and his ex husband who is so not fucking over it again. Code ASSHOLES everyone.

[d3yeeted]

that fish was only 21? they should have been at the glub! recwntly i have dreamed at night of sprouting insectile mandibles from my face and using them to tear people apart

[demilypyro]

best case scenario Digital Circus gets remembered in a similar way as Steven Universe: a show that was Really Fucking Good and had nuanced characters and interesting things to say, but the audience wasn't quite ready for it and it imploded into a discourse ball. four years from now I expect to see lesbians drawing Jax like she's a renaissance muse the same way people still draw Pearl or Lapis

[i-am-a-fish]
