redid an old piece of the riddle guy

[cadavers-and-decedents]

what actually rocks my shit with the moment ten finally hears the four knocks and realizes he's going to die anyway isn't just the look in his eyes - because bro, that was some damn good acting. no, it's also, mostly the fact that it's not just because he's going to die that he feels so sick. it's also because he realizes he has been on his guard, and paranoid for so long, and that in the end, nobody was out there to kill him. he's been paranoid over nothing. it made him act out of fear and do terrible stuff just to convince himself he could do anything including surviving, and that look in his eyes when he solves his case is one that says "it's always been you or them. it will always be you or them":

nine had to sacrifice his life to save rose's and then ten his happiness for hers.

donna begged him to let her stay but he couldn't bear to watch her die so he did something selfish and erased her memories against her will - not really just to protect her, but to protect himself from the pain and grief of losing her.

not that that's how he sees it. in his mind he probably thinks he did it for her.

then in waters of mars he comes back and saves three people who were supposed to die and someone knocks three times and he probably likes to think he's the one who averted a fourth one - because it would entail that he can do it: save himself and save them.

then it all comes crashing down that he can't when adelaide brooke offs herself - it's either him or them and it will always be them.

there he goes, last two episodes, resigned to his fate: he will confront the master and the drumming and die to save everyone.

but he survives.

and for a moment, everything shifts. maybe he can be happy. maybe he can find a way to bring donna's memories back without killing her. maybe he will see rose again.

finally, wilfred knocks, and it's the cruelest reminder - it will always be you or them. it will always be them.

Rewatch Catch:

When Light dies he begs for somebody, anybody, to be there for him to either help him or accompany him in his final moments. Logically, he thinks of all his paramours first. However, in the end, the person that’s there standing with him, the only person that comes even in death, is L.

Sometimes I think about how when the master is chameleon arched he spent his entire human life trying to help people and trying to give humanity hope. He was going to stay behind and die so that he could send humanity to utopia and I think that’s beautiful. The doctor on the other hand turned into a racist asshole while chameleon arched so I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean.

like ok. time lord victorious to me is ten's vanity and egotism bc of course it would not exist without it but it's also his grief and his exponentially compounding loneliness snowballed into a 5-minute delusion that he was on top of the world, he survived everything because he was better, and that meant he could extend that to the people in front of him, that meant he didn't have to stand on the sidelines and watch them die. the time laws dictate that i must be a lonely god? that i must always be the one to outlive those i care about? what if i am actually that. a god. what then.

you ever think about the rtd1? it's rusting spaceships and tangles wires. Cardiff Warf. that warm glow. Overcoats. cluttered apartments and 2000s fashion. its mascara and camp in just the right way for people to forget it. it's roses smile and donna's hoop earings. it's all the different shades of brown and that one shade of blue. it's watching the stars in the backyard with a thermos of tea. its the practical effect aliens. the coral tardis bathed in green light. its vworping/ its the history in the doctor's eyes and the way you know this man has a family. he's your best friend and your dad and you know the doctor is going to protect you. it's snow on Christmas eve. it's about being a solider in a war, any war, because it's always the same. it's downing street and those london houses layouts in every era they go to with the doors with windows at the top and staircase being the first thing on the right. it's the desperation in the doctors voice when he talks to the daleks. it's old, not ancient, but old and cobbled together. it is hope. it Is always hope.
