new doctor who tommorow. And I it’s honour- Here’s this Very Important Post

[xhellnhighheelsx]

Hi! I was just wondering what the context was for the doctor sitting in a tub with River for 8 hours is?

Hi anon! Moffat did a Day of the Doctor novelization a few years back. And in it there was a scene where 10 and River take a bath together. He even gives her a kiss on the cheek before running off afterwards. My memory is fuzzy, so others please add other good bits you remember.

I remember we all lost our minds when it came out and a TON of bath fic was inspired because of it.

Hi, I just finished re-reading the Godfather series. I think it’s brilliant and I love the dynamic between Missy, River, and John. I do hope you continue to update the series. Just wanted to say it’s brilliant though.

Hi!

First of all thank you for reaching out! It always makes my day.

I absolutely will continue the series. The problem is that the next instalment is giving me a headache and refuses to be written.

Which is the cause of the hiatus on that front. It will be finished I promise you that. Might just take a bit of time!

Love Raven

hi! I read your Godfather series over on ao3 and absolutely adore it. I remember when you were posting, you mentioned making a family tree for all the cousins. Did you ever post it? I would love to see it, family trees are one of my favorite hobbies <3

Hi

sooo….I thought I did…apparently I didn’t…

So here you go the family tree of the (main) Smith family!

Little note the numbers next to some names on the colour fields indicate which Doctor that person is.

I hope this makes sense otherwise ask questions or reread the first chapter of „Christmas Reunion“ it’s more or less explained in there😂😅.

Thanks for asking and sorry that it took so long to answer my phone JUST notified me of this ask.

Love Raven

You’re married to your phone background/lockscreen how fucked are you

[riversmithmelody]

I WIN!!!!!

Phone background is River Song in Husbands and lock screen is 12! I WIN!!!!

[heyitsspaceace]

firmly believe that if donna noble had seen one (1) interaction between the master and the doctor doing anything she would have been like “oi, get a room.” and it would do so much psychic damage to the master they would be defeated on the spot

[riversmithmelody]

Donna sure would.

Although Donna and Missy would give 12 nightmares

GENTLE MOONLIGHT

[riversmithmelody]

HOLY SHIT! Amazing!

The Doctor sitting there opening the book on the first page, STARTING THEIR STORY!!

Donna curled up in the light, under a blanket. Her being so important but yet restrained in this story.

River half in the light half out of it. HER LEAVING THE FUCKING STAGE!! The green of the communicator.

The symbolism is killing me!

The art is killing me!

AMAZING!!!

[heyitsspaceace]

12 and river have such a lovely dynamic and i want to know all about the 24 years they got together, they mean the world to me

[riversmithmelody]

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Every time I see River in Doctor Who I'm just giggling and kicking my feet.

No one:

Kate Lethbridge Steward: Have you or a loved one been kidnapped by one to possibly fifteen gay ass looking motherfuckers in a blue box from the 1950s? If so, you may be entitled to a job and free therapy sessions.

[riversmithmelody]

A job with good pay and probably one HELL of a retirement package

[luke-naberrie]

also. does the fact that fourteen and fifteen's clothes got divided up between them like this mean that fourteen lost the underwear

[riversmithmelody]

Why aren’t people talking about it?!

THE GIGGLE SPOILERS

okay okay so, there is a Doctor just chilling on earth for the next however long, taking quick jaunts occasionally, but LIVING linear time and everything.

There is an entire regular meeting support group for companions of The Doctor.

That Donna is definitely going to be invited to, right?

Does Donna open with, "Hi my name is Donna Noble and The Doctor is currently living with me 'cause he finally burnt out after a few million years and needed a break. He's recovered enough to be gettin' antsy and a nice local trip or two to see old friends would do him good! Anyone object to me binging him along next week?"

The big question is, would it be rude for 14 to show up?

On the one hand, this is technically a support group for people to talk about their adventures WITH him, in a safe space and all that.

I can't imagine he'd be unwelcome, but would it be too awkward????

OH WAIT NO HILARIOUS THOUGHT.

Donna attends the companion support group.

Donna talks about The Doctor in the present tense a bit, but in such a way that the rest of the group think he's an elderly working dog she's adopted and is rehabbing.

That she named The Doctor because of fond memories with her own Doctor.

And it's just SO clear she's talking about an elderly pet. The tone, the stories....

"Rose has been real helpful gettin' him to be more active. She'll chase him around the yard for a few laps, tossing a ball around!"

"Granddad's been trying to get him to go out and shoot moles with him, but The Doctor doesn't like guns much, you know."

"He's been driving my mum up the wall, sniffin' around the kitchen every time she's cooking. Course, he does it to everyone but mum's nearly stepped on him a few times!"

"My daughter makes lovely stuffed animals *shows pics on her phone*, The Doctor loves them! We find him napping in the yard with one as a pillow all the time. She sells them by the way. Her etsy shop is-"

And then one meeting she's like, "Oh, would you lot mind if I brought the Doctor next week? He's feeling better, I think it'd be nice if he got out of the house for a bit?"

And of course everyone is like, 'oh sure' 'yeah' 'alright' 'no problem'.

And then next week rolls around and-

That is an ENTIRE fully bipedal Gallifreyan Doctor. Huh.

[riversmithmelody]

Hilarious I want it!

Who volunteers?!

[galileosballs]

It's too bad that RTD had to go for one more joke in the 'let it go' scene, because it totally distracts the viewer from what is actually happening. It's not that Donna and Rose could let it go because they're women, it's that anyone could let it go and neither the Doctor nor Donna before could see it. This is a constant RTD theme - nobody can willingly give up time and space in favour of mundanity. You have to either be ripped away from it (the other Rose, Donna) or driven away (Martha). So, when Donna first got the metacrisis, she couldn't give it away. She couldn't choose the mundane.

But now she can. And the reason she can (and Rose can too) is that the mundane is valuable to them. They value their mundane lives with each other enough to choose them over infinity.

I do have some respect for what RTD is trying to do with the jokes. He's trying to make the biggest, dumbest, most obvious trans jokes possible so that even the dullest dad in the audience cannot fail to notice that This is a Trans Show Now. RTD is courting controversy on purpose. The jokes got an eyeroll from me, as they would from anyone who has heard a single other pro-trans joke before. But they weren't really for me, and I get that.

I just wish he hadn't put one in the middle of that scene, especially since it had nothing to do with the scene.
