Doctor Who Vid: When I Was A Boy [Amy, Amy/Rory]

[beccatoria]

I originally planned to post this today in order to get it out there ahead of the new series premiere, but it feels wrong and conspicuous to do so, now, without mentioning Elisabeth Sladen. This is not a vid about Sarah Jane, but it is a vid about a show that would have been much lesser without Elisabeth Sladen. The universe, both fictional and real, is a worse place without her in it.

*makes flaily arm-wavey movements at THIS WHOLE COMMENT*

I want to vomit fairy tale rainbows and parentheses BACK AT YOU because this is gorgeous and awesome and so true and OMGS YOU ARE RIGHT ABOUT DEATH BEING AN AWFULLY BIG ADVENTURE I hadn't realised that yet and I managed to make you care just a little about Rory and your analysis of youth and neverland and Peter Pan makes me wibbly AND I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU HAVEN'T VIDDED AMY YET EITHERRRRRR (get on that).

One interesting thing I read in a Moffat interview was him directly acknowledging the Doctor's habit of getting 'em while they're young and then ditching them back before they're too old, before they've...well grown up with him I suppose, and how this season part of what he'll have to deal with is that he has gotten properly involved with Amy and Rory now - that like, he's sort of entangled and can't just drop them off before they grow up and he "ruins" them for ordinary, boring non-neverland life. So, vindication for it being totally deliberate?

*glomps you*

Now I just can't decide whether I want to vid the Amy-rewrites-time theme, or try to find something that's about her fucking with all the fairy tale conventions, because the song I already have does the former but not the latter.

OMG BECKA I AM SO EXCITED AND THINGS LIKE THIS MAKE ME HOPEFUL FOR THE WHOLE THING AND EXPECTATIONS ARE SCARY AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?

Two sleeps! One for you, by the time you see this. :D
