Gallifrey: War Room The First Days of Phaidon really is just like “let me look at you!!”/“we thought you were dead” & “this is Narvin!! my…. Narvin…” & “together, then”/“together" & “it is lucky for us both that I do trust him. with my life.” & “how long as it been since you left us?”/“last I counted… 70 years. maybe 80. not long”/“too long.” & “do not let go of my hand” & “we’ll figure it out together.”/“together.” & “what a terrible Time Lord I’ve become”/“I only like the terrible ones” & "You risked your life. your only life”/“of course. and I’d do it all over again. Leela, I-I—“/“I know.” & so so so many soft sayings of the other's name and really I don't know how ANY of that is allowed I really don't but it's making me all absolutely INSANE

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

Mood board of Jason but it’s just one picture and it’s too real.

First look at Tom Holland as Danny Sullivan in the Crowded Room (2023)

Valhalla just confirms my suspicious that putting Heimdall and Helios in the same room would be the closest thing the Nine Realms get to watching reality television. I bet Helios could make Heimdall cry.

No but you don’t understand. The storytelling of the flashbacks to Cassian’s life as Kassa on Kenari. The fact that we get no translations for the language, but everything we need to know is communicated to us anyway. We understand which kids are In Charge, we see the leader’s prudence, how she commands respect, her generosity in allowing Kassa to join. We see the ritual of the marking application. We see jewelry, bowls, cups, toys— and weapons, though we don’t realize exactly what kind they are until they are needed, but used too late. We don’t know what the last thing Kassa said to Kerri was. We know exactly what he said. The green of the forest, the yellows greens and oranges of the kids’ clothing. The older kids stepping over a log, but Kassa, the youngest and smallest and last of the pack, swings his legs over sitting down. The shot panning from the green of the forest to the dead land near the mining site. The shot of Kassa overlooking the ridge where the mining happens. The total saturation of Kassa’s world— the color, the teeming life, the grime. Contrasted with the world of the Republic-soon-to-be-Empire, which is dead, cold, grey and black and artificial red. Glassy and clean. Literally and metaphorically surrounded by death, Kassa is the only alive thing on that ship. His shirt is the same color as the dead crew’s faces. The pop of color of the Andors: Maarva and Clem’s bickering, their bright clothes, Bee’s shiny paint, Maarva’s bright hair. Theirs are the first words chronologically that the audience can understand. Kassa can’t. Maarva kidnaps a frightened, angry, child with a community— on a whim. After the event itself, the fact that she kidnapped him is never discussed. Two people were lost to that band of kids: their leader and their straggler. Cassian is still looking for his sister. Cassian keeps going home and promising he’ll be back. Kassa never returns to Kenari.

okay so I liked pretty much all of the Anakin/Ahsoka interaction in the latest ep but what I liked the most was that their initial meeting wasn't overly sentimental. They meet and it's just silence, except for the overly loud (ominous) footsteps of Ahsoka taking a few paces towards him. She's happy to see him but she's also so guarded because sure, it's Anakin, but it's also Anakin, and that name has two meanings for her now.

And then the first exchange between them is a joke, because that's how so much of their relationship was in the past -- lighthearted, fun of the battle, the same way that Legolas and Gimli make that joke about their kill count in LotR (I also liked how Ahsoka questions Anakin's joke response after all the losses in the battle, because it shows how different she is now -- the real child version of Ahsoka probably wouldn't have done that).

(also there's the way that Anakin's always disappearing into the smoke and fog of battle, literally just vanishing, like the way the version Ahsoka knew of him, the version that was her Master and friend, disappeared, like some sort of monster skulking away into the shadows -- but I'm probably thinking too much about this).

Last Days of Freme BTS feature: ‘oh yeah, we had to figure out how to do things a little differently for this next series of Gallifrey bc ya know Romana and Leela and Narvin are our three main characters and have been from the beginning and they’re not all here together in this one’

me, vibrating in fury: HEY THAT’S BRAXIATEL ERASURE. HOW DARE YOU. HOW. DARE. >>:[

pizza tower + dhmis crossover :0?/nf

you were insane for this

Brad: Gees this episode is pretty dark, poor fans

Jen: Let’s give them a sexy stealthy Hunter scene, they deserve it

Brad: Nice! And maybe his helmet can pop off when he falls in the ocean?

Jen: No no. That plus everything else happening this episode? We’d kill them

Brad: Good point good point

“you’re worse than hunter”

“ohh, i’m much worse”

i’m going to need a moment

It's out! Beware of the spoilers for War Room 2 Transference! This project took me about a week and 120 drawings to complete. After I collected the drawings together I kinda figured out there were things that I could have done differently but I really love this draft. Super proud of finishing it. Animatics are always very exhausting to make because you need to think about so many things at once and you have to relisten to the material to see the image in your head and then decently transfer it into an image. It's also trickier when it isn't a music video but the characters just having a conversation. But surprisingly it wasn't a huge problem with this scene in particular because it was written and acted so dynamically. I think War Room 2 turned out a very solid boxset and switched my brain into "thinking about Gallifrey" mode! Big cheers to @fiotrethewey for writing this scene and supporting this project in progress. Cheers to Sean Carlsen for playing this scene so heart wrechingly! Under the cut I'll post the storyboards with some notes:

I'm 80% sure that the ATLA live action writers are fanfic readers/writers.

dont get me wrong The Outpost was a masterpiece and i haven’t stopped thinking about it since i watched it but I would do ANYTHING to see crosshairs reaction to finding out admiral rampart got got by riyo chuchi. you can’t tell me that man didn’t celebrate. i just want to know how.
