(no subject)
I have a confession. I have never had the issue with blinking and angels, with the dust in the light, with stepping into shadows, with clockwork people (I collect clown figurines, so.), with children in gas masks. They have never caused me nightmares. I am well-known for having to leave the room for certain things; as a child, I could never watch any of the Star Wars films through because I couldn't watch the lightsaber battles. I hid under the seat when I watched Follow That Bird when I was three or four. But, possibly due to not having Doctor Who as a childhood staple (I never watched an episode as a child, my parents were not fans) I can play along with people's current fears from the show, but have never experienced it, in an honest bone-deep way, myself.
But I have had to pause my download of Day of the Moon three times so far, just in the scene of Amy in the orphanage (I'm up to 14:56). And I'm shaking. Thanks, Moffat, you finally did it. *shudders*
Edited: it's now half an hour after I posted this and I'm still only at 20:29 in the episode. It... might just be getting to me a little. This is why a pause button doesn't always help me. Must stay away from it, and just suck it up and watch it. This is me. Walking away and watching. Right. Walking away now. Yes.
....hold me?
Edited again: So I'm watching it through properly, and I haven't read any reactions yet.... and sudden remembered that Ten and Martha are stuck in this era at this very moment, as the moon mission is taking off. That's... a weird sudden thought, and I suddenly want fic.
