unavoidable that you will be the villain in someone else's story. You will be painted in an unfavorable light. You will be the irredeemable one. and all of this will happen despite how nice you might usually be or how kind or how respectful or how warm. and you will just have to move on.

The Elephant and Castle Tavern, Southwark, London circa 1895.

A busy scene outside the Elephant and Castle Tavern. Originally a blacksmith, the building was converted into a tavern in 1760 and became a well-known coaching terminus in the 18th and 19th centuries. The area was devastated during the Blitz, and a major rebuilding scheme in the 1960's changed the area completely. Mention the Elephant and Castle today and most will refer to it as a busy road junction.

Behind the Scenes of the TLOG Christmas Special

i’m trying to say this thought in a nice and genuine way because i do mean it in a nice and genuine way and i worry it will just come across as “your faves are not as hot as you think they are lol” but i think fandom, being a setting where it’s normal to publicly wax lyrical about how beautiful you find someone, is somewhere you can really see the truth of the statement that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. as an outsider looking in, you can tell how when people start loving a character or personality, a lot of the time something just switches, and they suddenly perceive like unfathomable lifechanging beauty in this person that i think they could probably see in anyone if they looked with that much love. i’m very charmed by it and what it says about how a lot of people look at who they love in the rest of their life

This. Ask yourself “what did the Doctor do for River to prove his love?”

Nothing. He left her to the weeping angels.

But Rose. He BURNED UP A SUN JUST TO SAY GOODBYE. Did he have to do that? Absolutely not. She was in the parallel universe; he could have just moved on. But he couldn’t. He HAD to see her, even if one last time.

(And let’s not forget that he literally gave her a piece of himself too)

And had Rose asked him to get her; had she admitted SHE was the pregnant one, he would have stopped at nothing to get her back.

Don’t come at me with the River shit. She isn’t the Doctor’s OTP. Rose is. Actions speak louder than words. And burning up a sun is screaming. ☀️

Never read bigger bullshit!

The Doctor and River went on a “date” for 24 years. The Doctor would never have been able to stay with Rose in one place for such a long time. He would have become bored after two weeks with her.

River is the person the Doctor spends the most time with—she is the love of the Doctor’s life. But they could never live together in a normal way, so after the Doctor hears River’s speech in The Husbands of River Song, he decides to spend time with her properly. He is not burning a random sun for River, but giving 24 years of his life for her.

The Doctor never stayed for anybody; he didn’t even stay for Donna. The Fifteenth Doctor only stayed because he knew that the Sixteenth was going on adventures.

River Song was the only person who ever received time as a gift from the Doctor.

Maybe the simple truth is that the Doctor contains too many multitudes to only love one person the most, and only one way.

He loves Rose the way Rose needs to be loved.

He love River the way River needs to be loved.

There's no hierarchy here, not with the Doctor, just as the past, present and future can exist parallel to each other, the Doctor's love is limitless and complex.

In short: Die hard antis are weird.
