As green as her eyes, as classy and elegant as her ࿐ ࿔*:･ﾟ
This dress, whilst it had completely enamored me, does not make sense at all. Sure, River respects no status quo or setting at all, but what? She's wearing this entirely sophisticated gown with jewels and en elaborate hairdo and... she's just covered in tally marks. Skin and face just bearing tallies. Girl, whatever.
Late to the river-song appreciation week, but it wasn't my fault...wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey, guys! The Doctor was driving! That was why I was late!!! xd
So thankful for our pool-diving heroine. The epitome of power and fire, our River. Super appreciating this week! x

Day 4 prompt: If I could give River a gift….
F-ING WRITING PAPER SHE CAN WASTE IN DIARY 11 !!!!
...Yeah, I'm still not over that. xD
Other than that... maybe opportunities to meet her spouse? I honestly don't think I could give her any item she can not get herself. xd (Well, mentioned writing paper aside.)
Sheer badassery and brilliance at the same time.
River is not a companion, and I don't just mean it because she is the spouse of the Doctor. She has proved time and time again that she is the Doctor's equal. A great female character too, brilliant for representation.
Funny as well, but not flawless, which is good, making her realistic.
In short:
- Brilliant professor, mostly of archaeology, but like the Doctor, she knows her way around many things, most and foremost, time.
- Kickass in a fight.
- The long lasting fear of not being enough for the Doctor just because the Doctor loves so many, heavily masked.
- Viewing self as a much worse person than she really is
My favourite female character of the entire Whoniverse. 💕

🃏♥️"The Vortex Royale”
In an alternate universe preserved deep within the Matrix of Gallifrey, the Doctor and River are legendary outlaws known as “The Queen and the King.” Their exploits are immortalized not in books, but in an eternal deck of cards shuffled by time itself. Dressed to kill (and flirt), they rule the Temporal Strip — a casino realm between dimensions where time is currency, and spoilers are the highest stakes.
The King of Hearts (Doctor): Wields his sonic like a secret ace. Suave, brilliant, constantly bluffing the universe.
The Queen of Hearts (River): Crowned in curls, wine in hand, always five moves ahead. Knows your cards before you even sit down.
