It is fascinating to me that Edward nygma is the only man who has someone in love with them kill their lover and justify it. Every time this happens to a character besides from Ed it happens to a female character. The fact his own desperation to not face responsibility for doing that action toward a woman makes this more tragic

Thinking about the convolution of Eleventh Doctor's expressions of love for River Song in Season 7B. He does not trust Clara. He is utterly (wrongly) convinced that he and Clara are playing a grand manipulative game together. “What are you, eh?! A trick? A trap?!!”

So naturally, the last thing he should do in this game is to clue his opponent in on something that could be used to hurt him. Something like River, so painfully near the end of their time together, whose data ghost he can always see, who “it would hurt too much” to acknowledge. He can't let Clara know of the loss which constantly floods his senses; (“You are always here to me. And I always listen, and I can always see you,” he professes, once Clara has vanished into his timestream).

And yet. River fills his every moment (irregardless of any sneaking out for dates with increasingly-young Rivers while Clara is asleep like he did while the Ponds slept, which would explain his absence when the TARDIS is hiding Clara's bedroom). Even though it's not strategic, he can’t help but tell Clara about her. The best defense he can manage is to phrase it as if River isn’t as important to him as she is. Not only is avoiding her first name in his grief; he's also completely avoiding pronouns; which seems extreme given that he's still mentioning her as often as: “Oh yeah, of course he has! Professor Song! Sorry, it's just I never realized you were a woman.”

Leave out the emotion — leave out the details — don't show the cracks in the armor — play the part — win the game.

“Well, there's no point now. We're about to die. JUST TELL ME WHO YOU ARE.”

I truly think that Ed and Oswald could’ve been drag queens ahead of their time if they had just decided to not do organized crime and really just wanted to dress up and be cool

"clara, my clara" and every single atom in my body splinters apart simultaneously

im thinking about clara’s ending, though. like, on a very self-indulgent level, i do enjoy that she gets to live (kind of) and time travel and get an immortal girlfriend to do it with. but on another level, i’m kind of curious… why? given how much emphasis this episode and the last put on how clara herself made her choice and didn’t want the doctor to go through all of this to bring her back, i mean she’s horrified by it, both for his sake but also for the sake of her own memory that was used to bring him to this point. and then, of course, the exchange at the end with Me and the Doctor, “summer can’t last forever” “it can if you have a time machine”, that is so obviously meant to be this desperate, denying plea from the doctor to a universe that can’t care about the time he wants because it doesn’t even have enough for itself to keep living, and an immortal who has all the time in the world and can’t even remember all of it, even remember herself most of the time.

which. it’s just odd, then. that the episode ends with clara getting to have that forever summer. you’d think it goes both ways, not just that the doctor can’t run forever but neither can clara. she says they’ll be going back to gallifrey eventually, but words are a bit cheap against her literally running away with the last second of her life in a time machine. (and uh. given what eventually happens to gallifrey. lol. lmao. girl no one is putting u back there ever.)

i don’t think i’d call this a criticism exactly. just a strange choice to make, that the ending there seems completely at odds with everything else Heaven Sent/Hell Bent have been about. that this grief and denial are so destructive, and to no one more than themselves. but then clara escapes through a loophole anyway.

and it drove him mad. the thought of it alone made his breathing hitch and his skin itch. no, crawl. all at once, no controlling it. all he was, was because of her. it's no wonder all she ever did was run, it's what she'd been doing before she could remember.

and all she was, well there's no denying, it was because of him. a lifetime ago, sure, but him nonetheless. back when he was a proper time lady. its sickening, really.

she was nothing more than a pet. a faithful and loyal companion to the one who ran. a human. that's all she was, that's all he'd planned for. a clever, hopeful one, easily compulsed to save all of her lives, over and over. and all because he'd given them a proper push back then. a push that was hard enough to cause his oldest friend to kill himself for the duration of half the universe's existence. all for a human.

but she was much more than that now. all that time, all that space, all that life and the lack of a-

heartbeat.

it'd be a damned mistake to call her a human anymore.

no.

she was more than that, and she's lived longer than he could possibly assume. a product of his own actions and she's just as strong as he was. just as mad. just as reckless and just as hopeless.

she was truly an impossible girl.

and he was nothing, if not tempted, to see just how impossible she could be.

Probably unpopular confession but as much as I love the relationships in the chibnall era and the rtd era, i dont think they had anything on the Moffat era relationships. And I don't just mean romantic relationships, I mean all of them.

I see people say a lot that the relationships between the 13th doctor and companions isn't strong enough but tbh I dont find them any less interesting and engaging than the rtd era relationships, but the moffat era relationships oh my god. They all drive me insane

one of the weirdest thing Gotham brushed off is Edward’s teeth. How is he not getting an infection in his molars because he fucking had them drilled into for torture. How. I can understand and see Oswald brushing that off it’s not unbelievable (his greed is all consuming) but why would Edward brush it off. How is he not in pain how is he not having issues eating why is his mouth not smelling of blood and puss. GOTHAM THAT IS A MAJOR INJURY AND HE HAS IT IN ALL OF HIS MOLARSSSS

Gotham you just missed a huge way to make the audience sympathize with Edward more since you don’t explore Jack with the shit he goes through. The teeth rotting reminder would totally show that he and Oswald are completely even now so when Oswald comes back saying he’s ungrateful we all know he’s full of shit because we explored the damages caused by Edward’s sacrifice for Oswald. Why do we only really explore Edward by other people’s eyes for most of the show I’m tweaking so bad why do they treat like a woman post femicide in their writing
