More... *intensity*!
The Girls decided to watch The End of Time this morning, and I watched key bits in amongst doing other things. Ah, nostalgia...
The Master was delightful as always (I could watch him read the phone book), but MY GOD, TEN!
He is just this WALKING BALL OF PAIN and he DOESN'T SMILE AT ALL and at the end (when he visits EVERYONE) they ask him questions and he just LOOKS AT THEM with DEEP DEEP PAIN IN HIS EYES.
(I just kinda want to shake him and go 'It's NOT THAT BAD! get a grip already!')
Oh and then when at the end he STRUGGLES towards the TARDIS, Impish Girl started singing 'Happy Death Day to you,' and then decided that it'd have been so much better if the Ood had been wearing a fez. Heh. I love my children.
Anyway, then came Eleven and he was HAPPY and SMILING and 'Yay, I'm crashing!' and everything was well. ♥
Disclaimer: I'm very fond of Ten, honestly. But the EPIC self pity needs mocking.
ETA: Because my brain can't think about these things without a bunny hopping along.
Scene: The Tenth Doctor is STRUGGLING towards his TARDIS. There is a FLASH and suddenly there appears a bowtie wearing man in a tweed jacket, with a fez on his head and a mop over his shoulder. He looks around.
MAN IN FEZ: Oh dear, wrong place. And time...
He spots Ten.
MAN IN FEZ: Ah. Definitely wrong time.
He taps his wrist and frowns.
TEN (confused, but still weighed down by his TRAGIC FATE): Who... who are you?
MAN IN FEZ: I... Nevermind. You're busy dying, better focus on that. Ood Sigma should be along any moment. Excellent fellow, he'll cheer you. Or not, as the case might be.
TEN (even more confused, and also somewhat insulted at the other man's tone): What? Listen-
He doubles over in pain, his whole mind blanking out for a moment.
MAN IN FEZ: Yes I really should be off.
He points the mop at Ten.
MAN IN FEZ: You have fun, OK?
Another FLASH and he disappears.
TEN (looks around): Wait, what- what just happened?
Then Ood Sigma appears and suddenly there's beautiful music and Ten valiantly struggles on, desperately trying to stop his mind from collapsing and having a vague idea that something just happened, but he can't quite remember what. All he knows is that dying is UNFAIR and that NO ONE UNDERSTANDS.

And in a rapidly collapsing universe Eleven shakes his head and, smiling to himself, mutters something about youthful self-indulgences.

ILU! LOL. And "Happy Death Day", ha, your kids are awesome. If/when I have kids they had better be as awesome as yours.

Then my work here is done! ;)

Kids just are, generally, I think. Although I do my best to indoctrinate them. Their favourite shows are (amongst others) Doctor Who, Red Dwarf and Black Books, and they DESPISE High School Musical, Hannah Montana and the rest.

I aim to please.
The complete disconnect in tone. The dramatic irony. The contrast between Ten collapsing and the universe ending.
It's funny, but the level of eye-rolling was... through the roof. IT'S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD!
"You have fun, ok?"
Sad is happy for deep people. *nods*
It's like Ten--->Eleven in a nutshell, with time loops!
And I would just have called it 'crack'. Thank you! :)
Would that this had happened!!
Who's to say it didn't? It could be like Time Crash (which they also watched) - a sort of blip in time that happened, but didn't, y'know?
Also, hey look at perfect icon - I'd almost forgotten I had it! *g* (Yours is awesome too btw.)

I totally imagined the EPIC MUSIC OF TRAGEDY cutting out when Eleven appears, then restarting when Ten begins his STRUGGLE again

And that scene is comic brilliance! Little would Ten know the complete personality change he was about to undergo, LOL.
and I think that is why Eleven is MY doctor, because I like a good dose of considerable humour and good cheer, and Eleven does have that. He is completely charming. I love this line-
MAN IN FEZ: I... Nevermind. You're busy dying, better focus on that. Ood Sigma should be along any moment. Excellent fellow, he'll cheer you. Or not, as the case might be.
as well as the part about youthful self-indulgences, because despite his looks Eleven can seem very old at times, and Ten was portrayed so often as someone fighting a lot of issues, and his outlook on life does seem youthful at times.
I now really want to see this scene in Doctor Who, despite the whole 'rapidy collapsing universe'!
no subject
Oh they are. Except when they drive me mad...
that is totally what I would have been saying, at that age, if I had been watching the End of Time. It brings back fond memories of me and my sisters mocking Angel's more intense brooding angsty moments. good times.
OTT angsting NEEDS to be mocked. (Mind you they were *heartbroken* at the time, and resented Eleven for taking over. Now... Eleven is THEIR Doctor. ♥)

I would give my right arm to see them meet on screen...

*nods a lot* He's just delightful and genuinely eccentric, and I love that. And thanks for picking out lines - they sorta wrote themselves, and I might have chuckled rather a lot.

I think Ten partly just had A LOT of issues (the bipolar Doctor?), and also I've seen someone talk about Nine as a 'child' and Ten as a 'teenager', which fits a little too well. *pets him* ;)

We can but dream...

Heh.
D'you think he ever figured it out?

Probably not until he was back at the scene. A bit like Five and Ten in Time Crash. :)

HAHAHA this is SO ACCURATE. And oh Lord, THAT GIF. I cannot.
Your mini-fic: A+++++.

Isn't it just? I never quite noticed how constant it is, but wow. Whole galaxies would burst into tears if they were given just a tiny taste of his PAIN.
And oh Lord, THAT GIF. I cannot.
IKR? I couldn't not use it.
Your mini-fic: A+++++.
*preens* Miss M has illustrated it. Will scan and post in a bit! :)

And in story terms I think River is more like Spike, to be honest, except she was planned whereas Spike was more of a stealth character.
Although that was a bit off topic. Yes, you can absolutely see Ten as Angel and Eleven as Spike! And Doctor/Rose as Bangel and Doctor/River as Spuffy.
*loves them all too*

*IS SMART AND SAVES THIS TIME!!*
Tis even funnier in so many ways, because Eleven's S6 was SO DARK and yet...he was still so Eleven. His angst and horror are so much more palpable, because it is silent. He hides it all so well and just...unnngghhhh...
Sorry, sorry. Loved this. Cause yeah - Universe collapsing and him shaking his head over Ten's Man!Pain? GORGEOUS. AWESOME. AND FUNNEH, lol!!

Well it figures that we'd have crossed at SOME point. :)

Eleven is a grownup, that's why. Well - Eleven *owns* his darkness, in a way Ten never does. (I have THOUSANDS of words of meta on Ten Vs. Eleven... /o\ But - they're so FASCINATING!)

Don't apologise. 'Tis all good! :)
