something i think is funny about doctorriver’s mismatched timelines — the doctor presumably dated river for over 200 years before he married her. which is a long time, though maybe not unreasonable for a time lord,

but river only met the doctor 2 times before their wedding. both times she was actively murdering him & both times he was just like “guess i’ll die” and wasn’t even mad at her. and river was like yeah. ok i’ll marry him
