| @grinchstolen didn’t ask for this but... | 

                           ❝ OH, BUT THAT’S  brilliant! ❞  he exclaims, a merry laugh that takes him very much by surprise falls out of a widely spread grin as he rushes over and grabs her by her shoulders, sending a short but enthusiastic tremor through her slight frame.   ❝ You’re brilliant, you know that? I can’t believe I didn’t think of it before! ❞

              ❝     I’M SORRY ?      ❞

[timeweary]

“I touch you knowing we weren't born tomorrow, / and somehow, each of us will help the other live, / and somewhere, each of us must help the other die.”

                “I want you to know that it is not always easy to love me. That sometimes my chest is a field full of landmines, and where you went last night, you can’t go tomorrow. There is no manual, there is no road map, no help line you can call; my body does not come with instructions, and sometimes even I don’t know what to do with it. This cannot be easy. But still, you touch me anyway.”

So who does River pray to?

                                                         EVERYONE has something at their core - something they believe in, or, something they have FAITH in. it might not necessarily be a god or a transcendent being - it might be themselves, or a CONCEPT, or it might just be a sense that there’s something more, or a sense that there’s nothing at all. at the very center of every person is that one thing the mind flies to in moments of danger or death or trouble or hopelessness - there’s that one thing the mind clings to in moments of complete joy and peace. those feelings and emotions are grounded in that thing, and often it’s the thing that people will pray to - even without realizing it. 

     now, prayer doesn’t necessarily mean getting down on your knees and folding your hands and reciting certain words in certain ways. it can be that, but it can also be a quick exclamation, a fleeting hope that materializes in an unspoken thought. 

     as far as RIVER goes, the thing at her core is her FAMILY. it’s something she always wanted when she was a child, and once she finds it, something she clings to. in moments when she thinks her life might end, or she might lose something of inestimable importance, her thoughts automatically go to the people she loves ( amy, rory, the doctor ). i think that, in a way, she prays to them. i’m not saying she worships them, but i think that it could be argued that she does worship the concept of family. she’d do anything, say anything, be anything for them. so it’s logical that in moments of distress she’d either call upon them or the memory of them for help. 

     however, she doesn’t rely on them for help. well, not always. she’s very capable of handling things on her own, but i think that she garners strength from them - even when they’re not there. she relies upon her own ability and also her family’s faith in her ability - and she can only rely on that by having faith in her family and their judgement of her.
