But It Was NOT YOUR FAULT BUT MINE

The thing that is so exciting about the Thirteenth Doctor is the fact that she’s starting off with a clean slate. She’s excitable and childish and so much lighter than any of the other Doctors since the start of the 2005 series, and that’s because she can be. Doctors Nine through Eleven had their childish sides, yes, but there was so much darkness there behind their eyes and actions. So much pain. He was the last of the Time Lords. Until halfway through Eleven’s journey he believed that he had committed the most atrocious act of murder. But when Gallifrey was saved there was hope. Hope for the next day. Hope for the time when maybe, just maybe, he wouldn’t be so alone anymore. Twelve started out colder and more aloof but by the end he’d thawed considerably and even told the Doctor he would become to ‘Work hard, run fast, and be kind’.

And she does, and she is. She doesn’t hold onto the burdens of the past. She’s not the murderer of her people. She’s not the last of the Time Lords. She’s lost her family, and there’s real sadness there when she talks about them to Yasmin and Ryan and Graham, but she’s learned how to build around the grief and carry them with her. There’s steel there in her when she’s facing evil, but that’s simply the Doctor shining through. 

She’s just brilliant.

Okay, whatever else I am COMPLETELY behind the Good Omens soundtrack.

Honestly, I love a lot of the humor in MASH, but I think my favorite moment is in S8E9 Mr & Mrs Who, when they play So Long It’s Been Good To Know Ya during the ceremony to dissolve Charles’ and Donna’s “marriage”.

No joke, after I read Good Omens for the first time, if I ever turned on the radio for a month afterwards I heard a Queen song playing.

So how is that no one has ever made a documentary about the life of Clara Barton? I’m quite miffed about this, because she was such an inspiration. 

TobyMac. He was my first foray into modern music and he remains my favorite artist to date. If I need a way to solidify my faith or simply find inspiration I can always find it with him.

Being an adult means first reading Sam's "Well, I'm back." quote at the end of LOTR as a ten year old and thinking it's a weird stupid ending, and then reading it again as a 24 year old and crying because it's the most beautiful perfect ending ever written in the history of literature.

As someone who has studied Psychology and "mental illnesses" I love the fact that we see him express himself at her level. He makes himself more personable by shedding his jacket and his shoes and therefore makes himself more "human". Then he places the cigarette on the ground on her opposite side so that if/when she decides (and that's very important, too, him allowing her the choice) to pick it up it won't be in his direction.

And she responds! She takes off her own jacket and although she doesn't say a word you can tell she's still listening to him.
