Friending meme:
'For those of us determined to be with LJ until the bitter end, let's meet more peeps who are sticking around!'

Also: Peter Capaldi had this to say to the cyberbullies targeting a Doctor Who fan
"The essence of Doctor Who is kindness"

Lovely Capaldi link, thank you. Reminiscent of...

CLARA: You're going to help me?
DOCTOR: Well, why wouldn't I help you?
CLARA: Because of what I just did. I just
DOCTOR: You betrayed me. Betrayed my trust, you betrayed our friendship, you betrayed everything that I've ever stood for. You let me down!
CLARA: Then why are you helping me?
DOCTOR: Why? Do you think I care for you so little that betraying me would make a difference?

See, because we've been having a massive long discussion about Missy (and all the Masters) and what type they are, and basically saying how the Master has always been a mirror for 'the bad Companion', this applies so very much to Missy/the Master also.

Which of course they know.

And of course it’s left to Clara to point out the flaw in that system:

CLARA: Doctor, I'm assuming you'll remember those coordinates?
(Clara holds out Missy's thingy towards her.)
DOCTOR: No. No, don't you dare. I won't let you.
CLARA: Old friend, is she? If you have ever let this creature live, everything that happened today, is on you. All of it, on you. And you're not going to let her live again.
DOCTOR: Clara, all I'm doing is not letting you kill her. I never said I was letting her live.
CLARA: Really?
DOCTOR: If that's the only thing that will stop you, yes.

GENERAL: All Matrix prophecies concur that [the Hybrid] will one day stand in the ruins of Gallifrey. It will unravel the Web of Time and destroy a billion billion hearts to heal its own.

[enevarim]

Oh, I’m not saying there weren’t also flaws in the Doctor/Clara system, which of course Missy set up, which of course lends a whole slice of foreknowledge to Missy’s “I know” in

MISSY: Seriously. Oh, Doctor. To save her soul? But who, my dear, will save yours? Say something nice. Please?
DOCTOR: You win.
MISSY: I know.

[elisi]

Oh, what I'm meaning is that they are deliberate mirrors.

And why it would be a very very bad idea if Missy every decided to take the Doctor up on his offer of 'just seeing the universe together'.

Oh, Peter Capaldi. Bless.

He's a good egg. :)

Thanks for the rec. I'm not yet sure if I'm sticking with LJ to the bitter end or just "not leaving yet because I like the place itself but I should get around to backing up at DW and trying to crosspost from there but I would like friends anyway".

Aww, Capaldi. <3

Friends are always good. As is backing things up. I have a Useful Things For Dreamwidth post that I posted a few days ago - although if you need any help, just say. :)

And I don't think you are allowed to play the Doctor if you aren't already the Doctor... <3

Yeah, backing up and getting the feel of another site in the case things really go to hell for any reason is a sound strategy anyway. Thanks for the DW related posts, I read them all but I've been unwell and therefore too tired to comment. Sorry I still have some other comments from you to reply to, too!

That is a sound strategy. <3

I've been crossposting for a while, it's pretty straightforward once you get used to it. :)

Looking forward to your replies, whenever you are better. And that's the good thing about online stuff - there's no deadline hanging over you. Get to it in a week, a month - it'll be fine.

That is a sound strategy. <3
Little bit mad, very kind, a tendency to press big red buttons just because.

Capaldi is a good egg, isn't he?

[elisi]

You have to be, to play the Doctor! :)
