#doctor who series 9

clara oswald is a manic pixie dream girl, but only in the literal sense of each of those words, the non-metaphorical meaning. manic not in a cutesy ‘teehee i’m so quirky’ way, but in an ‘i’m an actual control freak who wants to be able to successfully balance two very different lives and be competent in leading both of them. apparently i also need to sleep and eat and relax like a normal human being??’ way. pixie not in an ‘uwu whimsical’ way, but in an ‘assertive woman of short stature who may or may not be a mischievous trickster entity from a distant mythological past, one that looks adorable at first glance but embodies ambiguity and mystery’ way. dream not in the typical sense, but in the ‘i walk through the valley of the shadow of death and fear no evil; i appear in your mind at inopportune times; you can’t get rid of the idea of me, i haunt you like a persistent nightmare’ sense. girl as in impossible.

point is, she is much-deserving of the label in a non-derogatory, non-dismissive way, but as a genuine expression of awe and fascination

No, these people are literally, actually, dead! Wow! This is, it's amazing! I've never actually met a proper ghost.

I really like how series 9 of Doctor Who doesn't seem to have an overarching story-line like other series outside from the stuff with the hybrid and Lady Me except it actually does and it's easily the most blatant one about where the story is going as almost every episode serves to remind The Doctor that he loves Clara too much to be able to bear her inevitable death.

how many seconds in eternity? DOCTOR WHO | S09E11 - HEAVEN SENT

[foolishlyzephyrus]

12’s era is so underrated. it’s got a banging soundtrack for a start. and it feels so reasonably grounded. not to mention magnetic characters to boot. nothing to complain about.

orpheus succeeded. he made it. resurrected his eurydice, led her out of the underworld, never turned his head to peek, not once.

they were free. awake on the sunlit surface, out of the darkest pit, out of the longest night. he brought her back. he'd broken all the laws of tragedy, held the narrative at gunpoint, staved off inevitability, defied preordained fate and the will of every god who ever told him otherwise.

but when he looked around to find eurydice's face – a stranger smiled back. pretty. faintly familiar. unrecognisable.

Accurate representation of Doctor Who series 9:

so @actual-changeling convinced me to watch dw (thanks alex. I’m doing Great), and despite just having finished the second episode (and despite alex having warned me about this over and over again) there’s a distinct pattern emerging:

the doctor will go, “heehee, i’m just a silly little guy (gn),” and then immediately turn his face towards the faltering, burning husk of Earth and say, “You spend all your time thinking about dying […] but you never take time to imagine the impossible—that maybe you survive”.

Tell her that you're in love with her and that you always have been. Tell her there is no point wasting time because things happen and then it's too late. Tell her I wish someone had given me that advice.
