“I appreciate River and the Doctor's relationship because it is textually acknowledged to be dysfunctional. Even though River may sometimes romanticize their relationship it is always in the context that we are reminded how young she is at that point in their timeline and that she is a fairly messed up person. It's about two seriously messed up people trying to work for something functional rather than something idyllic.” This, very much. (And whilst Ten/Rose never did much for me, I am very fond of - and have written - Rose/TenToo fic. Because suddenly there is lots of complexity.)
lost about 40 pages of rambling analyses and geek-notes in the Great Computer Crash of late 2016 and is in the process of painstakingly but successfully reconstructing it :O oh noes!!!
but I’m the person who felt the need to write a passionate two-page essay simply to refute a DW-novice-mum’s outrageous claim that 10 and 11 were not that different I literally have an icon regarding how different they are!! *points* And many essays. :)
9/ROSE IS THE SHIT, OMG! <3
I actually think the *main* problem with 10/Rose is that 10 is usually a more entertaining Doctor with Donna, or Martha, or even just when he’s a lonely emo mess because he misses Rose. People being happy & in love are not exciting to watch. And re. emo!Ten, then he always reminds me of Alexis Denisof as Wesley (on Angel), and this particular description from a review:
'I can't believe I forgot how Denisof as Wesley can stand there and exude pain. It's like a superpower.'
Make a Series 6 vid with “Take a Bow” Oh oh oh. I need to introduce you to Fear Me, I Killed All Of Them, which is that but much wider in scope. I even wrote meta about it. Still gives me shivers in all the best ways.
Second vid: STANDING FUCKING OVATION, WOOOOOO!!!! You are absolutely right to love it to pieces. I wish I could beta more vids, it's *fascinating*. Debating which clips go where, what they symbolise, how it'll flow... Pure joy. (Her best ever vid is Never Look Away which is quite simply a masterpiece.
Am now off to double check if I've watched the vids you recommend. :)
