#btw this is NOT me dissing amy i love amy. she is like top three favorite character.

[girlmetalsonic]

something that is like the baseline of amys entire character to me is that shes lonely. shes clingy and physically affectionate in a way none of her friends really are, shes always getting pushed aside and left behind. yeah, she helps out people she doesnt know because shes a nice person, but also, she sees part of herself in them. she wont leave someone else behind because she knows the feeling —and more importantly, hates the feeling. if she doesnt have somebody to stand by her and be there for her, then shes going to be that person for everybody else. something something her obsession with sonic is really just like a manifestation of that desire for closeness with someone, and she thinks that romance is the only way to get that. idk... this hedgehog can have so many abandonment issues.

#me posts #amy rose #sth #sonic the hedgehog #and this is not to say at all that romance is the only way to have 'real' love or anything #just that yknow part of her breaking free of that would also be realizing that she just wants closeness with someone and it doesnt- #-have to be romantic #aroace amy could fit this i suppose and she just doesnt know it yknow. thats not my hc but i support their beliefs if that makes sense #she wants to be loved and she wants to love and she doesnt really get a big outlet for that so she shares it with everyone she sees #also i didnt wanna jam up the post but GAMMA!! this is partially abt gamma she helps him find out how to love and how to find joy in it- #-bc its what she wants for herself. she sees him and sees how completely alone he is and she wants to help him. idk idk something something #-when she was locked in the cell she saw part of herself staring back at her #gamma parallels to amy is SLEPT ON i stg i could make a whole other post about it #idk.. whenever im writing amy or just thinking abt how shed interact with others its always from the lens that she craves closeness with- #-others. she wants people to just stay for once. #does this make any sense. idk man im rambling here #my worst nightmare is characterizing her wrong its such a fine line and sometimes the words do not come out of my brain right #btw this is NOT me dissing amy i love amy. she is like top three favorite character. #important context: im typing this with amy firefox theme rn ok. ok im an amy fan. #she points at the minimize button like shes telling me to log off #jesus christ i just scrolled back up i love to put a whole other post in the notes dont i

I trust your taste so, I'm doing a rewatch right now but I was going to skip all of 11 cause I don't have the patience at my old age but also I vaguely remember there being some standout episodes that I probably should revisit. So, your top ten (or so) 11th doctor episodes, please?

idk why you'd trust my taste at ALL but okay! (they're in canonical order btw!! not like the order of how much i like them or anything)

vincent and the doctor - look i don't need to explain this one we've all sobbed at it we will all continue to sob at it

the impossible astronaut/day of the moon - You Gotta Have Some River Eps Okay also canton is !! so good (points taken away obvs for 11 manipulating his friends & completely ignoring amy's right to know abt her own body but oh well i guess !!)

the doctor's wife - on one hand u have the ultimate in mansplaining in this ep as 11 tries to tell the tardis?? how to build a tardis???? on the other hand. somft. and also i'm gay for suranne jones but Who Isn't

the girl who waited - real bastard hours for 11 right here but god,,,,karen gillan,,,,,,breaking my heart with her acting,,,,,,,,,,also she has a sword,,,,,,,,,

the god complex - gotta love an ep where the doctor gets called out!! god i love those kind of eps okay also rory not being affected at all by the alien's abilities is still legitimately the funniest thing ever agkdha

the asylum of the daleks - yes i'm gay for jenna coleman we been knew BUT also this is a dope plot anyway (even if the subplot makes me want to lock moffat & whedon in a room and tell them to never write about infertile women again please and thanks)

the power of three - introduction of the love of my life kate stewart 🥰🥰 also as much as i do hate 11,,,,,the ponds + 11 ARE soft ok

the crimson horror - aka that time the doctor & clara were so shit at their jobs they needed to be rescued agkdhajs but it's just a really neat framing device and the villain is legit terrifying and also the paternoster gang???? so good (but yep!! 11 sure does just kiss his friend that he knows is a lesbian huh!!! just kisses her without yknow asking or saying anything and it's played as laughs!!!!!!! ffs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

the day of the doctor - worth it just for war doctor immediately dissing 10 & 11 tbh but also! kate!! osgood!!! clara rescuing the doctor(s)!!! the moment!!!!!!!!

the time of the doctor - look i do hate 11 but matt smith is SUCH a good actor & 'amelia?' 'raggedy man,,,,,goodnight' gets me every TIME (even tho yeah damn he really just straight up ignored that clara was even THERE huh)

#asks #anon #doctor who #the doctor #eleventh doctor #yes i skipped like nearly every ep of 7b and that's v valid of me i think #u could substitute the astronaut 2parter for the angels 2parter or the pandorica 2parter if u wanted!! the main part is that River Is There #i picked the astronaut one bc it also has canton & he's So Good also the ponds all get to interact in this one #and we get one of our rare rory & river scenes!!!!!!!!!! love them wish they'd interacted more onscreen >:(
