River Song - Blog Posts
Either 14 or 15 should offhandedly mention his wife like “my wife would have liked to see that” or something and the companion preset just stares at him before going “you had a wife?!”
I would kill to see a spin-off series of that. get on it BBC!
Bill, Jack and River together. In a TARDIS. The Universe wouldn’t survive.
Jack: Kiss, Marry, Kill- the Doctor, the Master, me
River: The Doctor
Jack: Which one? Kiss, marry, or kill?
River: Yes.

Just a random thought but what if Maze from Lucifer and River from Doctor Who get to know each other?
I want to share something special for me, something that affected my interests in things I like and been a huge part of my teenage years.
This. This animation right here is what introduced me to Doctor Who. Seeing how someone took their time to expertly animate those smooth movements, incredible colours and beautiful transitions into a fantastically well-made story inspired me to start watching Doctor Who, and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
I think these amazing series will be forever my favourite 🩷
Two hearts, stupid clothes, you can’t miss him! Go on, scan the whole parsec, he’s not here! God knows where he is right now, but I promise you he’s doing whatever the hell he wants and not giving a damn about me, and I am just fine with that! DOCTOR WHO — The Husbands of River Song (2015 Christmas Special) directed by Douglas Mackinnon | written by Steven Moffat ››› Peter Capaldi as The Doctor ››› Alex Kingston as River Song
YES. Yes YES YES YES I watched Doctor Who all throughout my childhood and I was never able to explain why I DEEPLY DISTRUSTED and hated River until very, very recently.
TELL MY WHY NOBODY else seemed to have an issue with the BLATANT and CONSTANT sexual harassment. The Doctor was so obviously, visibly uncomfortable??? And she couldn't just. Stop???
Also, say what you want about tough love and whatever tsundere bullshit you think was going on but genuinely, hot take, I don't think constantly disrespecting your spouse is a good thing.
"what's your hot doctor who take?" "i like david tennant and i think river song was BAD"
Doctor Who text posts Part 2
The doctor's fatal flaw is that they can't stop falling in love.
@laxcunia-nocvatxrient Here you go! I don’t entirely like how this turned out, but I like it a bit.

i think 'I trust you with my life but not your own' as a trope is one of the ones that can always fuck me up no matter what

Bonded Universe
The Aston Martin was bigger on the inside as James Bond was crawling towards it. The door was stiff but a quick flash of his Sonic Q-driver was enough and it dutifully popped open. His whole body glowed in a mass of swirling energy. He was regenerating. This wasn't the first time. In fact he had been through this twice before. The bland and stilted features of the second Agent, Lazenby morphed into the debonair figure of the 3rd Spy. He was James Bond once again. There were still so many mysteries to solve from his last adventure, like the origin of the oldest game in the universe, 'I-Spy'. He felt the top of his head. "Hair? Check." He placed a hand on his throat, "Suave, urbane voice?" Check. He raised his eyebrow knowingly with a distinct hint of camp. "Eyebrow? Check. I can raise my eyebrow now. Eyebrows are cool."
MoneyPondy was still amazed at the dimensional impossibility of the vehicle. "An amazing car, this!" She rasped in her Scottish accent, scowling a little as she always did. James sighed. "It's pronounced Cardis, Pond." "What? Are we in Cardiff...again?!" she asked. James shooed away the question. "Hardly, we can go anywhere on the planet which has a secret underground base or nefarious organisations. But that's most places as you can see." James' movement became erratic as further regeneration energy was still being expelled. "Woah, something is definitely off with this one. I haven't had this difficult a change, in what feels like an EON." He looked at his watch which caused him further pain. He lunged forward and balanced himself on his Cardis steering wheel. Another huge flash of energy started to build up but this was the start of an even more unusual effect. James began to scream in pain as a distinct figure seemed to splinter off from his own. Bond slumped down again as this new being got its bearings. It was a man whose face was not that dissimilar to an Easter Island statue. There stood the more traditional 11th Doctor. "Hello everyone!". He looked at MoneyPondy. "Is that you Amy? You're dressed like a secretary. You're not a kissogram again are you?" James Bond thumbed his Walter PPK, eyeing up the intruder. "And you are old sport?" "I'm the Doctor. Call me 0011 if it makes you more comfortable. I'm guessing you're...." Mondypondy laughed. "Hush, he lives to say it." "Bond, James Bond. You can trust me. I'm the Spy. But how did you...come out of..well..me?" "A-ha! I'm the Doctor. I'm bigger than any story. Actually I'm just being facetious. When I realised what was going on and that I would be subsumed into your being, I took a Rolex and fashioned it into a crude Fob watch. I used it to store my personality and in a feat of extraordinary metaphysical engineering I tied it directly into the Tardis or Cardis data core to rematerialise me at a certain point. Like an alarm. The next time you checked your watch, the core would pull me apart from you and restore my memories. I'm like the radio that turns on with the alarm." The Doctor trudged around the room in a panic. "Fusion! Franchise Fusion. Of course! The Tardis is trying to import or graft itself on to something else.." Noting Bonds tuxedo attire he paused for a second, "Nice bowtie." "What are you going on about 11?" Bond was confused while the Doctor was in one of his trademark frantic rants. "Usually I'm good with explanations. No, wait. Scratch that. I'm terrible. My two hearts aren't in it when I'm explaining stuff for too long. I'm from another universe. Well, not exactly. Parts of my universe are here." He pointed to his left. "Like I definitely recognise that chair." MoneyPondy grimaced further. "Can you slow down? You're not giving me a chance to insert the right amount of innuendo." James chimed it. "You can always insert my.." The Doctor was exasperated. "Right, right. Ok. You two want to be all humanly with each other. That's great. Put up a balloon. We have bigger things to worry about. Like the end of our two universes." Bond adjusted his cuff links. "To be honest I don't know what to make of any of this. The last time the universe was in danger, I dealt with it, with no small amount of style it must be said. Ernst Davros Blofeld had a giant infinity bomb and..." The Doctor interrupted him. "Look back where I'm from. This girl called River has done a thing and that's caused another thing and basically that whole universe is dying. So the Tardis has tried to plug the holes of the universe with anything it could find. Every adventure we ever had, as separate beings are being forced together in a total event collage." "An event collage?" MoneyPondy sneered. "Why would that happen?" "Isn't it obvious? Well to anyone 900 years plus, it should be. The Tardis scanned any nearby stimuli to find elements to incorporate into the broken universe. Rory had a James Bond Box Set. In a multi-verse of infinite possibilities a universe where this piece of fiction actually exists must be out there. The Tardis would automatically seek out some sort of commonality. Although we're not that alike are we Mr.Bond?" "Well from what I know Doctor. We both have impeccable style. We are both British Institutions, we go through many female...ahem...assistants and we both..." "Regenerate. We become new people but remain constant! YES! That's it. Oh I am going to bloody kill River..." Bond dropped his wry tone for a moment. "River? I know a River. I mean I knew her. She...passed away. River Lynd. My first great passion." The Doctor smirked and slyly remarked. "First great passion huh? She'd love that..." Suddenly another woman walked into the Cardis front seat room. "James my love...?" MoneyPondy was incensed. "WHO IS THAT?" "That's Ms. Moans. A Ms. Martha Moans." This caused the Doctor to spin off into another tizzy. "NO! No! No! Can't you see what's happening? The deterioration is already beginning. Martha Moans?! That's not even a clever innuendo name!" Bond replied. "I assure you Doctor. Her name is entirely apt." The Doctor exhaled. "Oh Bond. I'm a fan of you as an idea but I can't say I agree with everything about your character. I met your creator once actually. Ian Fleming. Nice fella. Stubborn though. Got angry with me when I told him he shouldn't name that story 'Quantum of Solace'.." "Doctor, we'll head back to M(offat) Branch and await our orders. Brigadier Boothroyd Lethbridge Quebert could be a great asset here..."
Pond mumbled. "That name is quite a mouthful." Bond couldn't resist adding. "I'll tell you what else is a mouthful.." The Doctor was starting to get frustrated at the repartee. "STOP IT! We need to find a way to disentangle our universes. The internal logic of this place isn't strong enough to handle such an awkward amalgamation. Any slight unbalance and we could lose it all." The crackle of a vortex manipulator was heard and Martha was joined by a shadowy figure. She addressed the visitor. "You're right. They're BOTH here." A maniacal laughter began to sound and the figure stepped slowly into the light. "GoldMaster!" exclaimed Bond. "Oh yes. Fun! Fun! The Doctor and the Spy. From Gallifrey to Skyfall. It's all been leading us to this moment. I've retained my memories of both universes and I have to say this awkward fusion is my kind of world." He held a key with a central locking control and pressed it. The door of the Aston Martin slid open and two Gold-plated Daleks entered the Cardis. The Doctor looked at Martha. "Why are you working for him?" Bond interjected. "It's classic for my universe old chap. There's always a good girl and a bad one. No use in "moan"-ing about it now." Martha taunted her ex lover. "Bet you haven't been this disappointed since Bad Jaws Bay." What happened there?" The Doctor asked. "My..wife Tracy Tyler got trapped in an alternate universe with my Connery incarnation. These things happen." The Doctor nodded knowingly. "Enough of this talk. Doctor, you are going to steer this Cardis back to the creation of the universe. I mean this universe is fine.." He looked around as he continued. "But I think it could use...a Midas touch." "You expect me to do that?" 11 snapped back. "No Doctor I expect you to die! Oh and keep coming back and dying again. I never get tired of that. Now come on. You know what they say 'No guts, no McClory!'" A Gold Dalek fired a beam that knocked MoneyPondy back towards the wall. "Now drive this Cardis for me or the next time...I'll give her a proper Gold Star." The Spy cradled the wounded MoneyPondy. "You'll be ok." She could barely speak but whispered. "Promise me, I'll be ok. Promise me on something that matters." Bond thought for a second. "I promise on Albert Broccoli and Custard." She gave little smile before falling into unconsciousness. Angered Bond whipped out his gun and aimed it at GoldMaster. "Now there are two things I never miss. A golden opportunity or what I target with this gun. In this case they're the same thing." A serious expression appeared on GoldMaster's face. "None of you understand it. What I go through every day. The music. I hear it all the time. This cacophony of brass and drums. Over and Over again. 'Ba-da ba-da ba ba da dahhh bahhh ba-da bum..' It haunts me." "Welcome to the 'Theme'" came another unseen voice behind GoldMaster and Martha They were were both struck with a sonic lipstick blast. "Solitaire Jane Smith, to the rescue!" She stood there confident with a robotic dog next to her. The markings on him read MI-6. He blasted the two daleks. Delighted to see her Bond quipped. "You always were a master of the 'kiss off'." She approached Bond. "Solitaire is tired of playing a lonely game..." "Well Ms. Smith I always did find you...dalek-table." They embraced and began to kiss passionately. The Doctor ran over to the Cardis controls. "Ok. I have an idea of how to dislodge us but...it's risky." Bond and Solitaire joined him at the controls. "The mistake my Tardis made..,"The Doctor explained, "is that she tried to mix the elements in such a way that they made a bit of sense. And now she's stirring it all in a big pot of narrative nonsense. Our only hope is to drive this Cardis back into our first moments. The opening adventures. The nexus point from where our legends began." He pushed a number of buttons and pulled on several levers. "We're going back to 'An Unearthly Casino'. The shock of us landing right back where it all started should be enough to shake us loose." "So what you're saying Doctor is that this shared universe of ours is a bit like a martini. It must be..." The Doctor and Bond spoke in unison. "SHAKEN NOT STIRRED!!" Bond and the Doctor smiled at one another. "Geronimo!", they both said at the same time. And with that a flash of light and The Doctor awoke back on the Tardis. He could overhear Amy and Rory arguing about James Bond. "C'mon Amy, we'll just watch one. 'The Spy who Loved me.' It's a good one! Moore is fantastic in it" "Rory, we are in a spaceship that can go anywhere in space and time. Isn't that enough escapism for you? Do we really have to watch Bond?" "You're Scottish. You should love it." The Doctor appeared. "Alright Kids. I'm dropping you guys home for a bit. I have something I have to do." "Can't we help?" Amy inquired. "Afraid not Pond." Rory spoke up. "You're saying No, to us Doctor?" "Indeed. you should call me Doctor No!" ****************************************************************************************** River was lying on a bed in her cell at Stormcage when the familiar sound of the Tardis stirred her. "Hello Professor Song." "Doctor," she beamed back at him. "What would you say River, if I called you 'dalek-table'?" River was unimpressed. "What are you on about?" "Ha." The Doctor walked towards her. "I saved the universe again. You messed it up but you don't remember." "I'll take your word for it sweetie. So where are we off to tonight?" He took Rivers hand in his own. "I was thinking we'd stay in tonight." "You realise this is a cell right? I'm not much of a hostess." "Ha yes, but after saving the universe, paying my respects to an iconic character and having to put up with many groan inducing double entendres I was thinking...Isn't it about time I, just to cool off now...I...dove into my nearest River?" He took her in his arms. "Ohhh Doctor..." The Doctor and James Bond will return in... "From Rassilon, With Love"
My Doctor Who Ships
OTP: Eleven/Clara (Whouffle/Souffez)
I don’t care what everyone says… I ship them and them only.
Pairings I like (they’re not ranked):
Doctor/Rose (NineRose and TenRose)
During my first watch of NewWho these two just steals my heart already.
Doctor/River (Yowzah)
“Spoilers” and “Hello Sweetie” makes this ship one of my faves.
13/Yaz (Thasmin)
Since S11 I was onboard.
13/Spy Master (Spydoc)
NGL tho, I immediately shipped them after seeing them together for 1 millisecond.
12/Missy
This scene and the possibility of Missy being good in S10 just gives me the reason why I ship them.
Amy/Rory
Of course we would not forget about Amy and Rory. They are arguably IMO the goldest couple in the show’s history.
Today is 12/12
So here's some GIFs of the 12th Doctor!
since my post about 11/11 blew up.
On a side note he's my second favorite Doctor.
and i don't ship whouffaldi.
Since today is 11/11.
I’ll dedicate todays post with gifs of the Eleventh Doctor!
And an unpopular opinion of mine:
11 and Clara > 12 and Clara
I may have started a war so blame me.
jack and his time-crossed lovers
time to relisten to R&J i guess
New hot take:
River Song is Miss Frizzle
Prove me wrong, I dare you.
quick river from last night :) + my quickly drawn artfight pfp (it was supposed to be river lol)
The TARDIS rooms headcannons: DOCTOR EDITION
c h a o s
in the best way possible, of course
there are at least 10 different unfinished tinkering projects scattered around the room at all times
whenever the doctor swears he's going to finish one, he gets an idea for another (me with fic writing fr)
he has a desk in the corner, which is mostly covered in notepaper with a mix of English and circular Gallifreyan scrawled across them
and we're pretty sure that's a bed under all that paper
but at this point who knows? Does the doctor even sleep? (he does, just not in his bedroom...or, you know, a bed)
the door to the room changed depending on the preferences of the doctor occupying it
10's door had about 20 different 'gadgets' glued onto it, while 12's was made of deep mahogany panels and what was probably once a bright brass doorknob (it hasn't been polished in 604 years)
although the various companions can enter the doctor's room at any time, the TARDIS tends to steer them away from it whenever he needs to be alone
but when she thinks that the doctor could stand to gain from actually talking about his feelings for once, companions may find themselves turning a corner and suddenly becoming face-to-face with his door
practically the only clean surface in his room is a set of shelves lined with trinkets and souvenirs that remind his of each of his companions
a preserved rose for Rose Tyler, a bead from one of Clara Oswald's dresses, a framed paper snowflake for Ruby Sunday, and a blank page that some of the companions suspect is from River Song's diary (it is)
pinned onto the wall next to the shelves are a collection of polaroids, one of every person that's ever travelled in the TARDIS
Donna's one has both her and the doctor laughing together (or possibly at each other), and Yaz's one is blushing furiously next to an equally red 13, and Wilfred's one is just him beaming at the camera
the doctor likes to pretend he's not sentimental, but we all know the truth <3
I’m disappointed that in “it takes you away” (series 9 ep. 11) everyone’s dead wives show up and yet River Song doesn’t make an appearance because that would have been so funny and also so heart wrenching.
I think would add a lot to the plot because it would make the doctor’s decision to stay in the solitract make a lot more sense and make her eventually leaving it even sadder.
Also, it would be really funny with the doctor simultaneously trying to explain to the group that River is her deceased wife from when she was a man whilst trying to explain to River that she is a woman now. It would be even better if River was like “eh, doesn’t bother me”.
favourite dynamic: a trained professional killer and a psychopath with her 1200 year old funny talking thing who's wearing a bowtie
hi!! I just found your blog and I also love River Song!! It makes me happy to see there are still people on here who love River (and Doctor/River!) who haven’t moved on past Doctor Who yet!! :D what’s your favourite River episode? and have you listened to any of her Big Finish audio dramas yet?
