River asks - 22, 23, 24, 30!
22. Favourite quote about River by someone affiliated with Doctor Who -
This one is the first that came to mind and it isn’t actually applicable to this question but my GOD.
“A courtesy email would be nice if some other guy’s gonna have a go at my wife.”
23. What song or quote reminds you of River?
Okay so this is a bit of a plug so I’ve included a video link because you need to hear it. My friend Emma is a singer/songwriter/composer and she and her friend wrote this song called Beautiful Lies a few years back and it’s always resonated as the embodiment of River and The Doctor’s relationship.
The basic gist of the song is that it’s about a couple who decide to get married on the day the world ends so they can feel joy one last time. It’s haunting but it’s just beautiful.
24. Favourite River Fan Art -
It absolutely has to be the one that catapulted me into one of the most wonderful friendships I’ll ever have. I came across this in the River tag a few years ago and had to message the artist to tell her I thought it was amazing and asked if I could use it as my lock screen because I’m polite like that. I don’t know what I’d do or where I’d be without @space-and-thyme
30. Why do I love River with all my heart and soul?
She’s resourceful, clever, brave, bold... I could list every quality she possesses but I’d be here all day. The thing is, I love that even with all of those things, she’s still sad and scared and vulnerable but doesn’t allow that to rule her and it’s sort of uplifting to see a woman who has been abused all her life who can still find the strength to stand back up and say no.
