AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I SWEAR TO GOD I MADE THIS POST BEFORE I SAW THIS. ILU REALLY KIND OF A LOT.
River has her own life and doesn't always travel with the Doctor, and she's secure and confident around him and can hold her own in a way that many companions can't, so the power imbalance or the dependency on him for having an exciting, adventurous life isn't there to be squicky.
You know I agree with this, but I agree with this. EQUALITY IS SEXY, LOOK AT ME, ALL SECOND WAVE RIGHT HERE. You also know that I pretty much agree with everything you say about her (and everything else, since you indoctrinated me), but well, I AGREE WITH EVERYTHING. She's competent and I love that she knows a lot, but not everything, and that she doesn't let that stop her from participating and doing stuff and trying and figuring stuff out. Also I just find that I really like the Doctor a lot when she's around making him heel, when it's clear he doesn't know everything and is a little wary of her because she's the unknown future. Which is kind of what people should do, complement each other but also challenge each other? Also your shipping is adorable. I mean, I'm shipping them too but I think yours is. . . shippier? It's cuter to me anyway! :D
Apparently though, she rubs her specialness in our face or something.
I think this just means that's she's confidently doing stuff while female. Horror!
Haha "she's the Tardis/vaguely incestuous theories amuse me. Doctor Who fandom is funny.
Also, now I understand better *why* you were not overjoyed at the suggestion in the last ep that Vincent killed himself because of a vision. But I honestly wasn't completely getting what you were saying because this interpretation didn't explicitly occur to me? Maybe because I watched the Vincent ep *after* 5x12 though?
