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.

M-hm.
Well, yes, but then so's the show . . .
... That is very true. *remembers a world full of Masters*
I've wanted one for *ages* and finally found it! How did Ten manage to walk around the universe for three whole years without *anybody* ever calling him that? It staggers the imagination.
It really does. (Although I've seen quite a number of icons with 'alien slut boi' and similar... Still, trust River to finally state the obvious.)

And I'd like you to know that I just laughed my way through the diner scene in EoT. Obviously I blame you.

Before EoT aired there were a lot of promo shots around. The one I remember specifically was one of those HUUUUGE ones, where you have to scroll down to see the whole image. The reason I recall it so vividly is because HIS HAIR took up my whole screen. I had to page down just to see his forehead... I wish I could find it, it amused me HUGELY at the time. Also - I love this icon.

I shall just take pride in the fact that you watched RTD era Who. :)

Ha! And well you should.

You are just frustratingly difficult to antagonize.

You've read the relevant macros, y/y?

OH NOES! Make haste to
ETA: Warning - will probably eat up hours of your life. And don't have any drinks near your computer.
ETA2: And here is the relevant one - although you really should read this one first, they kinda go together. (The overall concept is very simple: Nine is upset that Ten's stolen Rose and tries to get her back/cause Ten pain.
ETA3: OK, am going to stop now, but just stumbled across this one, which I believe is the first time I came across someone speculating about what Eleven would be like. I still love it like pancakes! :)
