#The Diary of River Song

[phunnyphis]

me and my boyfriend listened to our first Big Finish story and the climax is quite literally aliens trying to siphon jackie tyler's intelligence but end up being overloaded because of the amount of gossip and trivia she knows, resulting in her blowing up their home planet

this is the best piece of writing ever put to audio

[nounpolycule]

this sucks so bad i need to [remembers there's a chip in my head preventing me from assassinating the people that put it there] gaslight the woman who raised me into thinking the Furies are coming after her

the diary of river song series 12 is so sweet but sometimes so sad because she talks so much about Amy

she talks about how she can never talk to her mother again, so she stands at a safe distance when Amy and Rory go for walks in autumn, she stands where they can't see her, she watches them and waves :')

she mentions her in every episode so far

and talks about how she misses her

and how she wishes she could see her again

[asociallyawkwardduckling]

So I just finished the first series in the Diary of River Song audio dramas and while i could go on about a bunch of how amazing it was(i might in another post but thats for later) Right now I want to talk about a single line. "There are rules. There are certain Doctor's I can't play with." This line is from the final episode when River is talking about the 8th Doctor and how she can't let him know who she is because of timeline bullshit, but I love the line. You can hear in her tone how hurt she is despite how she's minimizing it.

She loves the Doctor but there are just some Doctors she can't be with even if they could use her there. She loves all of them but some of them will be unable to love her back and that can't be easy.

Big Finish really had our boy Five get shot and die while in his UNDERWEAR. The Diary of River Song has been a WILD listen.

The Wrong Doctor?

Watching the silence in the library after listening to the diary of River Song: Friend of the family hits differently after how River was running out of space in her diary, and how she gained her title as Professor.

[expectiations]

the thought that somewhere out there in another universe/timeline, the Doctor and River Song have known each other since their first regeneration, have been married for centuries and expecting many more.

The Doctor and River Song, in their TARDIS.

Next stop: everywhere.

River: I need to find someone to take his place at dinner.

Maître d': But the table is for him, n'est-ce pas?

River: Oh, that's exactly what everyone's supposed to think, but the Doctor isn't dining today.

Maître d': Oh, poor Sir! First he is shot, then disrobed, then he does not get to experience the menu. Is it possible his day could get any worse?

The Diary of River Song: My Dinner With Andrew

finished the "river song: friend of the family" box set today and oh it's so beautiful, I was genuinely standing in the middle of my room crying happy tears as I listened to the end of it, it's really incredible and both the writer and team and the actors did such a phenomenal job on it, I didn't think I could love river's character any more than I already did but I was proved wrong. what an amazing piece of entertainment <3

Why is what is essential attack of the killer time zone so heartbreaking and so emotionally charged???

Big finish was cooking with this one

[bee11037]

Her life is usually intertwined with the Doctor’s, so I thought, what is her life like after her great relationship is over?

NO NO NO NO NO N-

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
