This meta is late, late, late due to personal stuff, so I hope there is still interest in it ( Read more... ) -
If I was a vidder...
... I would make a Clara Oswin Oswald video to this song.
This song is giving me feelings. They keep playing it on the radio over here in the UK, like they know. -
meta: The Soul Is Made of Stories - The Rings of Akhaten...
...in which Who is totally aware of itself as myth, the World Tree is in play, the Leaf is life and death and life again, Clara eats the fruit of the Otherworld and is a contradiction, and the Doctor is a Sun God.

Meta rec...
Seriously guys, if you like reading meta and if you usually read mine and then comment on it, you really need to read this:
The Frozen Mirror by janie_aire
The nature of Who as myth, the ep as a meditation on death and grief, mirroring, the shadow self, ascension, the World Tree, the Question, the nature of Clara. It's all there and it's epic. Seriously. -
meta: The Memory of Snow: The Snowmen.
For me this was just a totally fantastic Christmas special. I don't have an awful lot to say about the actual plot involving the Great Intelligence, but there's a whole heap of stuff going on around the concepts of mirroring, memory, above/below, who Clara is and there's some links into the Pond era.

If you're a Who fan this lovely post by a_phoenixdragon is essential reading. It's is all about the spirit and the joy of Doctor Who, about why it matters. It captures the reasons why I love this show so much, and why it's so more than "just" a TV show.
