NaViMaMo Vidlet: My Love, the Astronaut [Doctor Song, um, Who]

[beccatoria]

For ladymercury_10! So, obviously this song was supposed to be from River's POV. Therefore I decided to give it to the Doctor. I think I thought I was being subversive...

Title: My Love, the Astronaut

I will index and crosspost all vidlets at the end of November or when I've done all the prompts if I decide to keep going to finish them.

YAY! Thank you so much! It's quite lovely, and the "subversive" take on it is really interesting!

AWESOME. Crashy piano! Superb editing, as usual, grabbing perfect little snippets or expressions or bits of motion, especially Eleventy's physicality. I love how you incorporated the fact that she might have killed him as part of the distance in the lyrics. Plus random frantic action! FLYING IN THE FACE OF SCIENCE. Rules of time are for people who are not River Song. <3

Interesting song choice. I love how the strength in the song is reflected in the characters and the editing.

Oh I love the flipping around, because in many ways River is much more the astronaut - she's the one coming and going, with the Doctor securely settled in his TARDIS. :)

This one is weird for me, because I love this song and have listened to it way too many times (despite not really caring much for some stuff Amanda Palmer has done/said).

Anyway this is a really interesting take on it. I like how you reversed it and made River the astronaut with the Doctor professing his feelings for her. Love the little touches that fit so well with the lyrics as well.

The Doctor's getting beaten at his own game and he loves it. :D

RIVER!!!

I really like what you did with this. The song really works, flipping the POV was a great decision and I loved the fast cuts at the end. Brilliant work. :)

Dammit, why do I not have a River icon?
