"are you my mummy?" 🤝 "hey, who turned out the lights?" 🤝 "my arms are too long."

the holy trinity of doctor who quotes that sound fairly normal out of context but are actually mildly terrifying

ok but for real "my arms are too long" is up there with "hey who turned out the lights" as most cursed lines in doctor who history

Brilliant. Fifteen, you can bring a dead butterfly back to life.

Now go get your wife out of that goddamn Library.

I am once again asking for recommendations of Greek myth inspired books 📖 So far I loved reading the Maidens and The Song of Achilles, but my favourite has to be Pandora by Susan Stokes! Absolutely hated The Silence of Girls by Pat Baker, don’t understand why it exists. (Update: tumblr book recs post here [x])

"So, if you are too tired to speak, sit next to me for I, too, am fluent in silence."

– R. Arnold

"I'm a master of speaking silently—all my life I've spoken silently and I've lived through entire tragedies in silence."

– Fyodor Dostoyevsky

The Husbands of River Song // Silence in the Library

[thekinglemingle]

Proposal for Big Finish: David Tennant and Alex Kingston low stakes adventure, with the twist being that it's retired Fourteen not Ten and he can't let River realise that he knows their whole deal. He so desperately wants to tell her how much he misses her, but he can't spoil the existence of the second regeneration cycle and ruin Twelve's surprise.

And that's why River thinks she's seen Ten much older than he was in the library.

conceptually the introduction of river song as a character fucking slaps and i’m never gonna get over it. like. imagine you meet someone for the first time, except she knows everything about you, even the things you’ve never told anyone before. she touches your face and looks at you like you hung the stars themselves. and then she sacrifices herself so you can live — “time can be rewritten,” you tell her, and she says, “not those times. not one line. don’t you dare.” you watch her die and it hurts in the strangest way, because you didn’t know her, not really. but you will, someday. all you can do is wait until your paths cross again.
