i don’t know how to articulate it but the doctor asking rose, “how long are you gonna stay with me?” makes me want to break every bone in my body and crush them into dust . here you have the doctor, a near-immortal, asking a question he knows the answer to. he knows any response of rose’s will ring hollow in his reality. two months, ten years, four decades—the numerical value doesn’t matter. the problem with the answer is always going to be that it’s not enough. he knows it, but he asks her anyway because he loves her. he loves her enough to ask.

and rose! beautiful, human rose tells him, “forever” and the doctor smiles so widely that it’s electric. he knows her forever will never be as long as his, but the easy way it fell from her lips…she loves him. she knows she won’t be able to have his forever with him, but she promises her own forever. she gives herself wholly to him. he loves her enough to ask and she loves him enough to answer!!!! isn’t that crazy isn’t it batshit insane to love like this these were literally VOWS!!!!!!

sounds an awful like the midnight episode in season four, from doctor who if you ask me

i feel terrible for 13 in this episode. you can tell she’s trying so hard to be loving and trusting after her years of distrusting people, always expecting the worst as twelve. and it blows up in her face.

when she “works out” the master it seems like she’s just making an observation—“I read your file, you’re a good sprinter” or something. she isn’t looking to catch him out. she hasn’t started suspecting him yet. up until this point, she honestly, genuinely trusts him as a friend. after a series of her laughing hard and being kind, are we gonna have to watch her put up her walls again? especially with what looks like a storyline with the companions beginning to distrust and doubt her. i know this is what i was asking for but i yam..... unprepared

Just rewatched part of A Good Man Goes to War for gifmaking purposes and good lord, the ending scene with Eleven understanding what River is saying, and then River’s reveal to Rory and Amy is just *chef’s kiss*

What I wouldn’t give to have gone blind into this series and not known until that scene that River was Amy and Rory’s daughter 😭

Well, [the Doctor] was devastated. I think Rose had helped him reform himself. I think Rose had influenced who he became when he regenerated into me. I think her influence was very formative for the Doctor, having come out of this terrible war and all of these extraordinarily awful things that he'd been to and been borne witness to. And that she helped him recover, helped him become the man that he re-found. To lose her was devastating, and yet, as it went for the Doctor, kind of inevitable. That's part of that tragedy of that character, that every relationship that he forms with anyone other than a Time Lord—and of course, there were none of them left—was, by its very nature, transient, because he's effectively eternal next to a human being, who might get a hundred years if they're lucky. So that's one of the tragedies of that character that makes him sort of timeless. So yeah, to lose Rose—the woman who'd helped him rebuild who he was, and the woman he almost dared to fall in love with, I think—was devastating for him, and took him a long time to get over. And maybe he never did. He was certainly never quite over it while he was me.

“fear me, i’ve killed hundreds of time lords.” / “fear me. i’ve killed all of them.” 11 is soooooo so so complex to me. outwardly he’s one of the goofiest ones, probably the goofiest nuwho doctor. he loves a good fez, is obsessed with bow ties, has questionable taste in food. but his anger… 11’s anger is cold. it’s vengeful. 9 and 10 were angry, yes, but they burned in their rage. the war isn’t fresh anymore like it was for 9, or he barely healed during 10 but 11 compartmentalises and it’s quite deadly honestly
