How to save a life

"Tadaaaaa, listen," he places the violin against his chin, puts the bow on and lets out a tender, loving sound. The sound resonates through the room and dances over to the thin boy.

He can hear it. The eternal white noise fades. He can hear the soft, sweet sound. He lifts his head. Something stirs inside him.

A heartbeat.

His numbness slowly falls away.

A heartbeat.

He takes a step closer. He can see it. The glow emanating from the man with the violin.

A heartbeat.

He can see the music.

He can feel it.

He can... Feel.

His hand presses against his chest.

Nadir stops playing, and is looking at him. "Hey," he murmurs and slowly comes closer, bending down to Erik, "There you are," he whispers, placing a hand on the child's shoulder.

A soft whimper creeps through the room

"He'd be nowhere without Martha."

Doctor Who: Confidential's ode to Martha Jones to The Fray's 'How To Save A Life'.

I knew Martha only had one series and I was still devastated to see her go. I can only imagine how heartbroken I would have felt to realise she wasn't staying.

Transcript:

"Where did I go wrong?

I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night

Had I known how to save a life"

"The role of a Doctor's companion has never been easy, but Martha Jones' journey from ambitious young medical student to saviour of the world has been the toughest yet. She's met Shakespeare -

MARTHA: I've only just met you

- travelled to the moon and faced up to the Family of Blood -

MARTHA: One more move and I'll shoot!

- and now, as series 3 reaches its grand finale, it's time for Martha to reach to the ultimate challenge.

FREEMA: Martha completely comes into her own and she grows up massively and proves herself to the Doctor you know, as a worthy companion.

THE DOCTOR: You'll be needing this.

MARTHA: Really?

THE DOCTOR: Frequent flyer's privilege.

DAVID: He'd be nowhere without Martha and she saves his life time and again.

I found God

On the corner of First and

Amistad

Where the west

Was all but won

But all alone

Smoking his last cigarette

I said, "Where you been?"

He said, "Ask anything"

"Where were you when everything was falling apart?"

//

Lost and insecure

You found me, you found me

Lying on the floor

Surrounded, surrounded

Why'd you have to wait?

Where were you, where were you?

Season 5 Latent Image

The Doctor is processing a morality crisis when he chose to save Harry Kim over ensign Gretal even though both had same injury and = chance of surviving. The Doctor felt wrong that he chose his friend Harry.

Instead of rewriting the doctors program again Janeway is supporting the Doctor as he processes what happened. Janeway sitting with the Doctor was so sweet 🥹

Now imagine this scene but with The Fray's "How to Save a Life" playing in the background. 😭

Let You Down

"I got the scratch together, Brooke. I'll be on my way soon... just a little longer..."

"I wish you were coming with me..."

Last pose by @busyvampire from her new pack. Always great work.

For three years now, I have become utterly incapable of listening to “How to Save a Life” without thinking about Satoru and Suguru and feeling so heartbroken.

I hear it and I see Suguru spiraling, distancing himself, the slight bitterness about being left behind by Satoru in strength. I see Shinjuku. I see Satoru questioning what the purpose of his strength even is. I see him stumbling, unable to know what he could’ve done.

Oh, and the interview with Yuichi Nakamura in which he describes the direction and the decisions made for voicing teen Gojo really hammered it home for me.
