thing in doctor who that absolutely destroys me: whenever some character is talking about a war or losing a loved one and says something to the doctor along the lines of "how could YOU understand?" or "you'd never understand, doctor" and then it flips to a shot of the doctor just looking so. sad and knowing. rips me apart every time it's just excellent

#it might be something that's started specifically with eleven i can't remember #i SORT of remember ten's reaction to that being more angry and along rhe lines of how dare you think i wouldnt understand OF COURSE i #-understand. but that could just be my brain filling in the blank spots #but i mean it would make sense. ten is the doctor who regrets eleven is the doctor who forgets. eleven never protests when people imply he #-wouldnt understand because he tries SO HARD to suppress and forget how much he's lost. how much he's hurt. everything he did.#and every time someone says something. demands him to understand; tells him THIS IS WAR; its another little reminder. a twist to the knife #he's trying to convince himself isn't there. but it's in so deep he can't ignore it completely #it hurts. it still hurts. he DOES understand and it hurts.#haha goodnight #magpie thoughts #dw #doctor who
