The God Complex

[tasty_kate]

I am crying.

It was exactly what I feared but it didn't make it less painful that it wasn't a surprise.

I'm actually crying more than any previous Doctor Who episode before. They're my Team!TARDIS. What the hell am I supposed to do now? I know it's the nature of this show and Amy and Rory aren't completely out of the picture, but... goddamn, I'm sad. All that feeling of dread in my chest... and then to have my suspicions confirmed. I haven't been in a situation like this in ages.

Aside from the those last few minutes, I thought it was a brilliant episode. I loved everything about it, the monster, the weird hotel, Rita, the guest star Mole, the Amy and Eleven moment which broke down their relationship so painfully well... Well, us Amy/11 shippers can't complain about the lack of shippy screen time, we certianly got it this time around. What kills me even more is that I can't be angry at Eleven. He's doing what was right. And gave them the right send-off. I'd rather be angry.

And goddamnit, I was right about those pap photos where my icon came from.

Lemme go lay on my bed and put on underwear music and remember the better times.

Where's the mood that says "heartbroken"?

At least there was Forehead Kissing? I have missed that.

[tasty-kate.livejournal.com]

Yeah, first Eleventy kissed Amy's head in the hotel/prison and then Amy kissed his forehead when he was saying goodbye. It wasn't from the angle that my icon is, you actually don't see contact because of the camera angle in the episode, but you hear the kiss. My cries... what am I to do.. ;_;

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

I missed the forehead kissing liek woah.

The Doctor let Amy grow up because he never can ;__:

[tasty-kate.livejournal.com]

You should re-watch to see said forehead!sexkissing.

The Doctor let Amy grow up because he never can

I had similar thoughts.

You know how it's like when you're a kid and you're like "but...but... they have to stay FOREVER!!!" that is how I feel ;_;

I WANT MY PONDS TO STAY ;___;

[tasty-kate.livejournal.com]

IIII KNOW. And it's the nature of the beast: Companions will leave and the Doctor will regenerate. But goddamn, the Ponds have been on board for so long (I count this longer than Rose 'cause the way S6 was stretched out) and and and... My heart is heavy.

I know they'll be back in one form or another, but... goddamn I am sad.

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

But you will love the next one too! It is like they take away your puppy but then they give you a kitten instead! XD

[tasty-kate.livejournal.com]

HA. Yeah, I don't think Moffat could give us a rubbish companion next. Personally, I'd like to see twins on the TARDIS. Imagine the fun.

[stick-poker.livejournal.com]

That's a comforting idea.

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

I was more upset when I saw Jamie and Zoe leave quite recently but that is THE MOST UPSETTING THING EVER and Amy leaving was still pretty sad. I was expecting her to go though, I couldn't see where was left to go with those characters.

[tasty-kate.livejournal.com]

As far as using the characters at plot devices, yeah, I think we kind of came to an end, but I'm sure they could have still had adventures with them. I'm just glad we got a good send-off.

[nostalgia-lj.livejournal.com]

I, erm, went through a phase of not really enjoying them all because Rory was kind of in the way and sucking out the intensity :(

[ladymercury-10.livejournal.com]

This episode was amazing. All the episodes this season should have been this good. But the end...brb, crying forever. I mean, it was sort of the best of all possible departures, but that didn't make it less heartbreaking. And poor Rory didn't even get to say goodbye!

[tasty-kate.livejournal.com]

I keep telling myself that it was the best possible departure any companion could have asked for. It still doesn't make it hurt less. I did think it kind of sucked that Rory didn't get a chance to say goodbye. Even if Amy and the Doctor have a much stronger bond and a whole sort of different understanding between each other, Rory still should have had a chance to say goodbye. But, rumour (holy crap, I just spelt that with a "u" unintentionally) has it that we haven't seen the last of the Ponds. Maybe Rory can give the Doctor an ear full. :p

I...all of this. I cannot emotions because Pond. I'm so torn, because I adore Amy/Rory/Eleven but I'm also intrigued in the idea of Eleven with someone else. How he reacts to someone new, how much he reflects about his past and the moments where he'll talk about Amy and won't admit how much he misses her and loves her. And if there's going to be someone new, it has to be River. She's the only other companion I'd ship him with, and the only other companion I could see the Eleventh version traveling with. And their departure was just so beautiful, and it was probably the happiest ending of all of new who. Because he let them go, he wanted to see them live. I love Eleven so much more than I ever did before. And damned if this didn't send my Amy/Eleven muse into full force.

[tasty-kate.livejournal.com]

THIS, ALL OF THIS A THOUSAND TIMES. I cannot see Eleventy with someone besides River. But I know he won't talk to her about missing her mum 'cause, well, that's just weird, so in that sense it'd be neat to see someone new.

My love for Amy/11, I feel, has never been stronger. I feel SO MUCH ANGST that I'm tempted to write a fic. Perhaps angsty, perhaps happy to counter balance all this SAD I've been feeling. I have changed my default indefinitely from Eleventy sticking out his tongue in Vincent and the Doctor to this one until my heart heals-- WHENEVER (IFEVER) THAT MAY BE. I just made a new compound word. Like it?

[whovianmuse.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it would be kind of weird, but at the same time, they can sort of develop a deeper connection over how much they miss her. River, obviously, because she's away from her mother, and the Doctor, because she was the first companion to see him and fully know him and understand him in his new regeneration, and because he truly loved her and wanted to see her safe and happy.

AGREED SO MUCH. I'm definitely picking up my Moulin Rouge/Doctor Who fic that I started months ago (seriously. fuck RL and work and ugh. I need to write fic so badly it hurts.) But. It still. I can't. My heart. It hurts. She has to come back. This can't be the definite end of them.

We are writers. We are entitled to make up our own fantastical new words and phrases. For example: spacey wacey technical terms :D

They're my Team!TARDIS. What the hell am I supposed to do now?
This is what I'm rather worried about too. It's not like I haven't been involved and watching as previous Doctors and companions have come and gone, but I've never been *this* involved when it's happened before. Then again, I thought I'd wanted people not to leave before but if they hadn't we would never have had the Ponds at all, so I suppose the answer is to focus on the possibilities of who we might get next.

[tasty-kate.livejournal.com]

They're my first Team!TARDIS so I think that's what I'm going through right now. Sure, I went back and watch all of Nine and Ten's episodes and a few Classic!Who serials, but... damn. These guys were different. I was so emotionally invested in that trio. Ugh. I suppose it was the smart thing to do, leave while they were still popular.

You're absolutely right. If we didn't have AMAZING companions leave in the past, we wouldn't have got the Ponds. Think positive, think positive...

*hands you tissues*

[tasty-kate.livejournal.com]

*blows a nasty-sounded blow*

Thanks. *watery smile*

[honeynoir.livejournal.com]

:)

As long as they're not dead, they can come back.

[alt_universe_me.livejournal.com]

*sobs* Nooo I want my Team Eleventy to be together forever! ;_;

And just when Amy was reaching the very heights of her awesomeness, too :(

BRING THEM BACK D:

(But besides that, slfjdskfj it was an awesome episode)

[tasty-kate.livejournal.com]

Amy has always been kick ass, but my goodness. Maybe the whole giving birth thing gave her extra estrogen UMF because my goodness, she's effin' bad ass.

(lajdflkajfd agreed 1000%. That extra zero was not a typo).

This desribes me right now (episode aired last night in Australia). GOD MOFF. WHAT WILL I DO WITHOUT MY TEAM TARDIS. WITHOUT KAREN AND THE BABES?

Is this really the ending? While there's life there's hope. I'll cling to it.
