i so badly hope that 13 comparing yaz to river was implying their endings will be similar and they get a '24 years' type situation before everything inevitably goes horribly wrong in the centenary

something something the doctor tried to erase clara's memory of him in the snowmen to save her from the damage that knowing him could potentially cause and clara ended up having to to erase his memory of her in hell bent to stop their relationship causing more damage than it already had

not to be a bitter hater, but i wish thirteen had been even more of an engineer. we get little scenes of her repairing things, but I wish she'd had, like, a BIG ROOM full of projects and tools and mechanical parts in the tardis, and this room could've been a recurring set. maybe she works on projects or the tardis to avoid her companions! maybe they have to come drag her out from underneath vehicles to get her to talk to them, like a cat

Time enough.

(Heaven Sent // The Doctor Falls)

[likethecastle]

ok so prev tags encouraged my shepherd’s boy brainrot so i’m gonna take that and run with it, since these scenes and the use of the score in them makes me go insane. the context and feelings behind each situation are so similar. in both cases you have twelve essentially staring down an eternity of struggle (the confession dial vs. who-knows-how-many regenerations). it’s a treadmill. literally burning himself up to create another him, again and again. and in both cases, he has grown so, so tired of the cycle. you see this at this point in heaven sent, and you see it both at the end of the doctor falls and especially throughout the entirety of twice upon a time. (and there’s another point that parallels this, earlier in the doctor falls! the part where twelve goes up against the army of cybermen on floor 507 utterly alone, so tired, ready to be done. he’s not planning on getting out this time, and the music even reflects this—there’s an arrangement of the shepherd’s boy that plays over this scene that absolutely destroys me, because it’s changed to be so much more melancholy, a minor key, reflecting this change in mindset. time enough.)

and yet, despite all of this, despite all of his doubts and pain and exhaustion, he keeps going. ultimately, there is something that makes it worth it. hope, the fact he can still do good, the people he knows. and it’s when he makes that choice in both stories that the shepherd’s boy theme comes in.

it actually comes in immediately after the first gif scene in heaven sent—that cycle’s version of him burns, the cycle restarts, and the first notes of the theme start playing. and we all know how that goes (one the best 5 minutes of doctor who). but while there’s a delay for the other—an entire episode, twice upon a time—the same thing happens. twice upon a time is such a slow episode, but that’s because it’s so, so character-driven, and it’s essentially convincing twelve it’s worth it to keep going at all. at the start of the episode, he’s decided he does not want to regenerate, not because he’s scared of dying, but because he’s afraid of how long he can keep living. i’m so tired of losing people / can’t i rest? but spending that time with his former self, with bill, reflecting and thinking, he reaches the conclusion that it he will continue, even if he does have to do so alone. when he makes that choice—as soon as he leaves the battlefield, stepping into the tardis—those opening notes play once again. and over the entirety of his final speech before his regeneration, you have the original shepherd’s boy score playing. yes, it’s still a treadmill. but he’s decided it’s worth it to continue anyway.

it’s about the cycle, it’s about the tiredness, it’s about the perseverance, it’s about finding a reason to keep going and continuing to try despite everything. it’s just so good i love it so much
