"are you my mummy?" 🤝 "hey, who turned out the lights?" 🤝 "my arms are too long."

the holy trinity of doctor who quotes that sound fairly normal out of context but are actually mildly terrifying

[dontbotheraziraphale]

ok but for real "my arms are too long" is up there with "hey who turned out the lights" as most cursed lines in doctor who history

Proposal for Big Finish: David Tennant and Alex Kingston low stakes adventure, with the twist being that it's retired Fourteen not Ten and he can't let River realise that he knows their whole deal. He so desperately wants to tell her how much he misses her, but he can't spoil the existence of the second regeneration cycle and ruin Twelve's surprise.

And that's why River thinks she's seen Ten much older than he was in the library.

conceptually the introduction of river song as a character fucking slaps and i’m never gonna get over it. like. imagine you meet someone for the first time, except she knows everything about you, even the things you’ve never told anyone before. she touches your face and looks at you like you hung the stars themselves. and then she sacrifices herself so you can live — “time can be rewritten,” you tell her, and she says, “not those times. not one line. don’t you dare.” you watch her die and it hurts in the strangest way, because you didn’t know her, not really. but you will, someday. all you can do is wait until your paths cross again.

sometimes i get carried away in the popular moffat bashing like yh fuck that guy sherlock was shite actually etc etc but then i try and list out every cool concept just in the silence of the library/forest of the dead two parter and my head literally explodes in awe like commercial space archeology? monsters made of shadow? simulation children who don't exist when you blink? a whole planet of books? a benevolent computer built from a child's mind? dr moon virus checker psychologist and literal satellite moon?!?! the perception of passing time in a simulation?? echoes of consciousness saved on communicators blinkering out into death!! the imagery of monsters who eat flesh and leave behind bone?! two shadows!!! not knowing whether the love you met in the simulation was real or a creation of the algorithm?! the tragedy of never meeting the very real man you loved in that reality 😭😭 that's not even touching on the introduction of river song and the start of a backwards love story meeting your lover for the on the day you die but he doesn't know you yet like what the actual fuck this was two episodes of television im going to be sick every one of these has kept me up at night since i was 11

i've always been curious how to watch River's episodes of Doctor Who in order from *her* perspective

and it is exactly as twisted and knotty as you'd think:

For anyone curious (and def not recommended if you haven't already watched these eps at least once): Spoilers ahead.

Headcanon that River remembers Donna kindly and with appreciation (as shown in Silence in the Library) because the version of his husband she got to spend 24 years with, the one that proved to her he loved her, the face that got to see her without her shields on, the one that finally knew as much as her (or as close as they could get) was born out of the memory of Donna and everything she taught him. And the Doctor never forgets, and she tells her, they have 24 years, they get to know each other better, and the Doctor can't not talk about his best friend, the one that doesn't remember him, the most important woman in the universe
