"A thing happened."

"I bet it probably did."

10: Would you still love me if I was a worm? Rose: Of course! I'd be a worm with you. 10: *happy*

11: Would you still love me if I was a worm? River: I'd crush you under my heel. 11: *slightly saddened + terrified*

12: Would you still love me if I was a worm? Missy: I'd pick you up, put you in a container and watch as the life slowly bleeds out of your small miserable body. 12: *sighs* ... I don't know what I expected.

river’s quote about the doctor giving her the diary messes me up every time I think about it. “the man who gave me this was the sort of man who'd know exactly how long a diary you were going to need.” I’m in pain

[facetheravenwood]

she lets me hit bc theres something really wrong with me

[tessaservopoulos]

rewatched one (1) series six dw episode and am now spiraling over river x doctor...i miss them your honor

[stuckwithyounotsobad]

people who do the whole “timepetals are so annoying they act like the doctor can only love rose” when i see doctorclara, masterdoctor and riverdoctor shippers do this as well! Like people in every ship has annoying people in it! this has never been new information but yall blame doctorrose because they’re popular. When I know so many doctorrose shippers who ship the master and the doctor or clara and 12 (OR THEY SHIP BOTH)

(Do you think the TARDIS would like you?)

20

(What's your favourite way she was incorporated into a Human AU fic?)

Thank you for the ask, dear!

16. Do you think the TARDIS would like you?

That's the big question, isn't it? I mean as far as I'm aware, there is no temporal anomaly or anything clinging to me, so I wouldn't feel 'off' to the TARDIS for a start. I think that's already worth a lot. And then I adore her and I think that's a good way to win her over.

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, my relationship to the TARDIS would be similar to Bill's. Because I also like to question things, which might annoy her a bit and the 'not a big time mystery but rather a normal person who thinks the TARDIS is awesome' thing is also the same.

So judging by how she treated Bill she would be between indifferent and favourable towards me. Which is probably the best anyone can hope for.

I would be so honoured if she liked me back, though. @startrekkingaroundasgard wrote me the loveliest reader-insert with the TARDIS caring for the reader once and that's the relationship I would hope for. Have a look if you like, it is so cozy and comforting!

20. What's your favourite way she was incorporated into a Human AU fic?

I always like when she's a vehicle that gets treated by the Doctor as a person. Especially when said Doctor is 13 because she is a mechanic at heart, at least a hobby-mechanic. Car or motorbike are great for example.

That said, my absolute favourite AU incarnation must be Idris the horse as seen currently in my icon. Yes, I drew her, I was pretty obsessed with the idea. I love animals and a horse is very similar to the TARDIS in character I believe. Stubborn, nervous but unafraid when it counts and contrarily to a bike, you don't drive them, you try to convince them to go where you want.

The fic in question was let's take a better look beyond a story book by @mygalfriday and I was just as obsessed with the rest of the work. It's a fairytale riverdoctor, I think you would enjoy it! (If you haven't read it already)

"Doctor-"

"Now's not the time for this River."

"Then when is? When will it be time? Doctor you keep shutting me out. I'm your bloody wife!"

"I know!"

"Then fucking act like it!" tears slipped down River's face, "Fucking act like it. I don't care if it's pretend. I just want to believe for ONE day that my husband actually loves me."

His hands stilled as he stood and turned to look at her, "River. Of course I love you! What would make you think-"

She cut him off, "Your actions."

She looks towards the invitation sitting on her vanity - the one that states ’attendance is mandatory for all unwed maidens’ - and pulls a face. Everyone knows the King and Queen - though well-loved and respected by everyone in the kingdom and far beyond that - had hit a wall in trying to find a consort for their only son and heir to the throne, John. Though the many princesses from faraway lands that have presented themselves were more than suitable for the role of the future King’s wife, rumours have circulated that John has insisted on ruling the kingdom without a woman by his side.

[daturanerium]

can't stop thinking about that river song/doctor scene from the husbands of river song but in the context of griddlehark....it's just like

random jod loyalist: but my information is correct! you are the woman that loves harrowhark the first!

gideon: yes, i am! i've never denied it. but whoever said she loved me back....she doesn't go around falling in love with people. and if you think she's anything that small or that ordinary then you haven't the first idea of what you're dealing with. moron.

harrow, who is hiding somewhere in the room without gideon knowing: [is having some sort of terrible realization along the lines of 'holy shit gideon really doesn't know i love her. this needs to be amended immediately']

Doctor who christmas 2016

I didn't know until the christmas episode how much i wanted to see the aftermath. I loved River and the Doctor together so much so i loved that they showed explicitly that her death did affect him. He couldn't just brush it off and go on. It actually made me understand that she'd died but i like that the doctor grieved and is now becoming better. He's remembering the good times they had. He won't be okay immediately but he will be someday. To my darling River Song who I have loved from the very first moment I saw you, I say farewell. I'd always been excited to see you and I'm glad you lived your life like you wanted. Everything ends but everything begins again. Happy new year.
