i looooove the horrifying elements of the doctor and river's relationship, like not only did her whole childhood revolve around him, but they essentially trapped each other in their timelines. the doctor gave her her identity as river (and while she found independence within it, still sort of fucked (names are so important)) and river fucking DIED on his ass!! and while time can be rewritten, i feel like the doctor has a certain amount of respect for time that has already been written, that with the fact that she died for him and he apparently trusts her and maybe even loves her in the future........ they literally trapped each other

THAT river couldve been far worse #just her taunting him with the truth and not being flirty when he figures it out but condescending and mean <3<3 #a river that either hasn't quite fallen in love with him or HAS and is just pissed off that her life STILL revolves around this guy #and she knows he sort of likes it #neither of them have control so they try to wrestle for tit at the beginning of their respective relationships #doctor who
