The episode didn't make me cry, but Fucking A! I just saw some bullshit GB posts about how The Doctor only "guilty" kissed River to get rid of her after intentionally ignoring her for centuries and I started shaking and crying because it made me realize how much that scene resonated with me. It's so deeply goddamn real! And now I'm listening to "My Immortal" and I just want to punch a fucking wall because my laptop screen is all blurry and I'm just raging!

He literally loved her so much that he couldn’t bring himself to speak to her because it killed him inside! For a person who’s been faced with the choice to put down a pet or to continue/take off a loved one’s life support, that scene resonates to the point where I’m shaking at the accusation that he didn’t care and just wanted to get rid of her!

He knew that both of them were suffering and he didn’t know how to help them both. The longer he hung onto her, the more she hurt, and if he let her go, the more he hurt. It’s an impossible position to be in. Holding on is selfish and ignoring the situation is selfish—I happen to know that firsthand—but if you procrastinate the situation and trick yourself into focusing on other things, it gets you through another minute or another hour or day or week.

River was the one begging The Doctor for closure, he was the one who refused to let go of her because endings, especially hers, cut him too deeply. She was basically saying, “Please end my suffering; let me off life support,” and he was fighting that, because how do you say goodbye? And so she came up with a way for him to give her what she needed, without him having to do the thing he couldn’t. It was one of the most simultaneously majestic and tragic scenes I’ve ever seen!

And all too real.

It was ‘I LOVE YOU’

The only thing is, I wish he’d called her “honey,” “wife,” or “dear” instead of Professor River Song.

But I guess it was him trying not to cry.

lyras0xford:

where would you guys place the minisode last night on river and eleven’s timeline? i always thought it’d be after angels take manhattan because i didn’t think eleven had talked to her at all since clara, but i guess other people think differently, what do you think?

I think it’s her last night in Stormcage (so basically right before “The Time of Angels”), because I believe it’s only her first trip to the Singing Towers. (He is a nostalgic idiot - he repeats places important to them/her - and he doesn’t have the new haircut or suit that she talks about in FotD.)

river's little tiny plot twist.

thatfilmcomposer:

river said “if i was connected mentally with clara and she’s dead, how am i still here?”

doctor: “okay, river. how?”

then river said, “spoilers.”

did this have any significance?

like technically, clara was dead because she saved the doctor and ended up going into some sort of limbo-state where the doctor found her.

arrrrrgh. #postfinalementalcollapse

throughthewildblue:

What I loved about the Doctor Who finale:

He initiated that kiss. He put his whole hearts into that kiss. He called her his wife. I’ve never seen The Doctor purposefully kiss anyone like that. Their love is so strong it transcended CAL’s interface. No matter what else happened, The Doctor and River Song—Amy Pond and Rory Williams’ daughter—were married, and they loved each other.

I’m sorry but I can’t hear the haters over the sound of my CANON!

I love you long after you’re gone.”

I just watched the video of them to this song for four days. Looks like I need to pull it up on Infinite Looper again.

hogwartshiddenswimmingpool:

On Gallifrey, we don’t say “I love you” we say “My name is….” which roughly translates to “I trust you with the key to my tomb and the ability to literally make my life a living hell” and I just think that’s pretty great.
