Thirteen & Eleven & Loneliness (Eleven/Amy/Rory writing progress pt. 27)

I'm writing what should be a minor interlude very late in the series where Thirteen and Eleven's timelines intersect for a brief moment and let me tell you, I was not on any level expecting for Eleven to be the one with more emotional baggage considering the fact that he actually spends a lot of this series getting emotionally healthy while Thirteen is just dealing with... a lot but because I intersected their timelines at just the right spot somehow she is the emotionally healthy one in this scenario which just feels all kinds of weird, y'know?

But also writing this scene (and the rest of the series) made me realize why writing these two incarnations of the Doctor have captivated me so much: weirdly enough, considering the fact that they travel with multiple companions at once, they (in canon) feel like the loneliest Doctors to me, the ones who try to keep their companions at an emotional distance, the ones who internalize so much of their baggage and don't let anyone see. Like, writing from their POVs is just opening up all of the cans of worms in terms of self-isolation and trauma and the longing for affection without knowing how to ask for it and being alien and adrift but wanting a connection so badly but never figuring out how to let anyone in without tearing apart their hearts in the process-

And I think I just figured out why I was so interested in giving them someone(s) that they could spend forever with. That they could have that guarantee with (despite their bouts of self-doubt/wrestling with faith&trust throughout this series). Because the sad truth of both of their runs is that they didn't have forever. And they only became more alone as a result (of Eleven losing Amy and Rory, beginning to cut himself off before they died and then losing himself afterward, and Thirteen being too aware of the inevitability of tragedy, leading to her self-sabotaging before she could even begin). And that's the tragedy of every Doctor, I know (save maybe Nine), but it just aches so much more with these two in particular.

Thinking about that one joke in the Book of Bill that implied Bill might be the biological father of the Flynn kids. Thinking about how Linda Flynn had a secret career as a famous astrophysicist at one point. Thinking about how we don’t know exactly what Bill was doing in the 90s, and how he seems to want to skim over that part of his life, after Ford broke up with him for good but before the twins showed up in Gravity Falls.

Thinking about how Bill frequently hung out with famous musicians. Thinking about Linda, a brilliant young woman fresh off a bizarre pop star career, wanting to make a name for herself that ISN’T Lindana, might have found a new direction with an old friend (before he showed her his true colors.)

Thinking about Bill, fresh off a devastating breakup, trying again one more time to get SOMEONE on Earth to make him a portal. Trying to make the plan WORK. Trying to get a home for his friends in the face of a home dimension that was being destroyed (again). Having someone who’s COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from the man he was obsessed with, but who was no less brilliant and no less capable. (But, unfortunately for him, MUCH less gullible.)

Thinking about how Linda doesn’t want people to know about her former career as a famous astrophysicist. How she keeps this secret, even better than she did her past as Lindana. How she keeps the lid on this even TIGHTER. How she’s almost bitter about it. As if something HAPPENED.

I’m not saying Bill Cipher WAS Linda’s partner of at least five years, even going so far as to start a family with her before she saw his true colors and filed some sort of Uber-effective inter-dimensional restraining order against him, one-upping him so hard that he doesn’t even wanna think about it, but. Holy shit. Imagine

(Also I have a new HC that the Overseer couldn’t see Blink’s face through the cog mask thing but could see wing tips and chin and kinda assumed Blink looked like Wolverine Hugh Jackman and they were totally gonna co-ordinate something less formal the moment “the right hand” was done hunting down the Inventor)

Holy mother of Chilchuck and Marcille and marchil-

I don't wanna think about my father dyin' I don't wanna hear my mother cryin' I don't wanna look into the mirror tryin' not to lose my shit Flowin' like lava down the side of a mountain Man in the jungle lookin' for a fountain of youth But he knows that fountain won't appear... fear If it all ends tomorrow I had a blast It looked so beautiful And it hurt so bad What a real good time What a heartfelt world What a fucked up place Searchin' for knowledge Walkin' through fire Man in a garden filled with desire I know my name ain't written in your book... look If it all ends tomorrow I had a blast It looked so beautiful And it hurt so bad What a real good time What a heartfelt world What a fucked up place What a real good time What a heartfelt world What a fucked up place

It’s literally got everything it’s just marchil at the end my god. Death, fear of death & aging, resignation, cheery "whatever, as long as I had a good time!", looking at the world both with romantic glasses and harsh realistic cynicism.……….. The way the first verse can apply to both of them… I am deceased
