...so BUSY!

This morning we bought a new bunk bed for The Cherub and Impish Girl. (eBay, £95, including mattresses!) And they could deliver. Immediately. So I've spent the past several hours tidying/rearranging their bedroom... Darcy is currently putting up the new beds, and then we're off to the in-law's for 2 y.o. niece's birthday.

And when we get home there will still be MOUNTAINS OF STUFF to sort out. It'll feel wonderful once it's all done, but zomg SO much work.

Anyway, don't expect to see much of the over the next few days.

Have fun!

... I'm really just commenting because I just woke up and when I saw your icon I first interpreted it as River and Rory being mum and dad and then I realized... that actually made sense...

Exactly like. Totally ganking that icon.

It wasn't a spoiler unless you haven't seen TIA yet. :)

I actually deleted it because someone was complaining that I was spamming their f-list. XD I'll probably include it in another post later summing up a lot of the theories I've come up with since by initial reaction post.

On that note, I've been seriously considering making a Silence vid that plays when embedded, but when you click through leads you to a page saying this youtube video does not exist. Mostly just because I know how I would do it and I have a weeeeird sense of humor. XD

LOl--I saw a comment somewhere I really liked about how exceedingly balanced the whole team TARDIS is--they each have a distinct function, they each have agency and screentime, and all of them have a meaningful way of relating to each other. There's the two romantic relationships. Then you have the Doctor and Amy and then River and Rory who are sort of confidantes for each other. And then there's River and Amy and their girl thing and the Doctor and Rory and their guy thing and both of those relationships are somehow very . . . productive? It's like they work well together and fill in each other's blanks.

And the part of this that I really like is that a bunch of people last season predicted River and Rory would have to relate in the way we saw because that was the only missing link.

Also because of their bad Bromance ;D

Seriously, though, you've said everything I was thinking without knowing I was thinking it. It's one of the (many) great strengths of Moffat's writing that he's brilliant at relating characters to each other. There is a perfect balance in the relationships between the characters here, remarkable considering you've got four such unique people. I love, too, that you don't just have River and Amy's girl thing and the Doctor and Rory's guy thing--it would have been all too easy to make them confidants in that way. I really love that they have their thing, but the confidant-pairings are River + Rory and Doctor + Amy.

I should not try to type meta-y things in class, just for the record.

That too ;)

Ooo, yay! Yeah, I wish I could remember where I saw it first because I totally had one of those YES, YES, THAT!! moments over it.

I'm in the middle of watching Press Gang, and it is equally brilliant in this respect. (Also, given Moff's habit of reusing things, it's impossible to watch without getting ~ideas.)

I love, too, that you don't just have River and Amy's girl thing and the Doctor and Rory's guy thing--it would have been all too easy to make them confidants in that way. I really love that they have their thing, but the confidant-pairings are River + Rory and Doctor + Amy.
Now that is very true. I like it.

Haha! Yes, probably a good idea.

And there's not a pairing amongst them that I don't like watching. I think I can name one show on which that has ever happened before (Star Trek Voyager).

It's just too lovely. As is my new icon, which no one will convince me I have not summoned out of the ether through the power of wanting to have it. Because apparently that is how these things work now.

Next I am wishing for 500 gallons of ice cream and a pony.
