#11 didn't court uni River for nothing

[expectiations]

i respectfully disagree. The Doctor has been shown that he gets jealous and possessive over River.

In s5 Time of Angels/Flesh of Stone, 11 gets all jealous when he thought River and Father Octavian were engaged "in a manner of speaking". (There needs to be more GIFs of this scene)

In the Christmas special "The Husbands of River Song", 12 huffs and puffs every other moment at seeing River around King Hydroflax and Ramone.

Later as they're trying to keep the ship from crashing, they have a discussion on his jealousy and River reminds him of his other marriages and he's like "but I never told them my damn name Rivah! I never dressed up and took them on dates! I never offered them to come travel with me several times twice only to be turned down! I never preen every time before I go see them! I don't seek them out! I don't wear a wedding ring to commemorate those marriages! I don't let them assume I'm some random nobody but immediately introduce who I am! And I definitely don't let them drag me around on a 'whatever it was you had going on' spree!" Oh we didn't see that happen but they definitely had that conversation offscreen.

anyways, some people argue that they have an open marriage. it depends on who you're asking really. considering that the Doctor's line of thought is "River + marriage = love" and got all despondent watching River manipulate one guy after the other and thought oh perhaps i'm not really that special but he is the idiot he is. but River, on the other hand, is "not a marriage person" and Moffat once said she married every single species out there. at the end of the day, no matter how many others River may have dated, flirted, banged, even married with, the only person who holds her hearts is the Doctor as she once told Jack when he made her choose between him and the Doctor (i refuse to speak on how he didn't respect her 'no' and chased her all over the universe instead and even tricked 12 into leaving Darillium just so he could have River. like Jack, no. fucksake no. BigFinish whatthefuck? that's the farthest thing from being romantic. but i did say i refuse to speak on that.)

what was my point again? oh yeah, River does have other spouses but the Doctor definitely gets jealous (even gets jealous over their other selves lol) and they haven't cheated, considering that they barely know how to interact with people at times. (notice how 11 ups his flirting game during s6 onwards for and because of River? yeah)

anyway, i'd just like to do away with the notion that the Doctor does not get jealous over River Song's other spouses, including his other selves.

The Doctor x River Song:

And I love ‘em for it <3
