Things what I've been meaning to rec.

Time is not my friend at the moment. Here's some good stuff I've enjoyed over the past few weeks.

Vids:
Safe to Shore by niyalune.
Summary: 'cause though the truth may vary // this ship will carry // our bodies safe to shore (Possibly the most charmingly delightful Eleven & Amy vid I think I've ever seen! ♥)

The Kill by srmcd1.
Summary: The relationship between these two Doctors never fails to fascinate me. This song is not necessarily Eleven looking down on Ten. It's more like the Doctor looking down on himself. He's ashamed of the way he used to behave, not just in his tenth life, but during this one too. So he's trying to move on from it. (I love vids that explore Ten & Eleven. Need to rewatch this one & dig trough the layers.)


Meta:
The Inscrutable Amy Pond by promethia_tenk. Thoughts on Amy in S6. Short, but v. good & insightful.

Amy, River, and the Persephone Myth by mannaplowsk. Excellent and thorough.


That's all for now. *runs away again*

Meta: Seeing EoT with new eyes (because RTD cut out THE MOST IMPORTANT PART!)

So, in my Time Lord Victorious meta, topaz_eyes posted a bit of cut dialogue from End of Time. It’s just a few lines from Wilf and the Doctor’s chat up in the Vinvocci spaceship, but it has completely overthrown my entire reading of the episode. Everything - OK, not everything, but the Doctor’s arc - suddenly makes sense in ways it didn’t before, and I feel sort of monumentally stupid for not seeing it before. Best of all, I don’t dislike Ten anymore. Oh, he’s still a selfish jerk (far more than I thought), but oh, he’s honest about it. Ramblings and a lot of repetition below the cut. (I don't have time to polish it, sorry.)
