DOCTOR WHO | “The Husbands of River Song”

And this is why Meryl Streep is a legend.

"You can't save everyone."

"Why not?"

river's plot in "day of the moon" hurts like hell too. re-visiting her old orphanage, the site of so many of her earliest traumas. investigating the space suit that she spent large swaths of time in—perhaps even realizing some things about herself for the first time given how the Silence thoroughly messed with her memory.

in a way, she's making an archaeological dig out of herself.

The older river notes that it contains a life support system—its wearer doesn't even need to eat while they're in it—and the audience who's seen her entire story before remembers that she starved in it.

her euphoria from victory over the Silence—including the fact that she got to kill a bunch of her former tormentors!!!—is short-lived.

she thinks that this doctor, the one she's traveling with, is safe. he's flirting with her, and he knows her, and he calls her so many terms of endearments.

surely they've kissed a hundred times before.

but, no—she gives him their first kiss, and it's another reminder that their time is running out. it's all back-to-front, and he's getting further and further away from her.

and suddenly, that cell she's in has never felt more constrictive before.

"i like to think crowley and aziraphale to have a sexual relationship (and or i depict them as such in my fan work)" and "i respect the fact that these two characters in canon r asexual and there needs to be more positive ace representation" are thoughts that can coexist btw

good lord they are so made for each other

Sometimes I’m ok

Sometimes I remember this

And I’m not ok anymore

It’s essential for someone on stage to be distractive enough for the magician to do their trick undiscovered
