A Who-ish Anniversary

Jun 26, 2015 19:36

So, a few days ago when I was wandering through some fanvids to get my head back into a Rory-fic space, I realised something. I realised that the fifth anniversary of the end of S5 of Doctor Who (and, coincidentally, Amy and Rory’s fifth wedding anniversary) was today. It got me all nostalgic. I’m glad that first Eleven season aired in 2010. I’ ( Read more... )

I made some videos of that era if you want to see them.

♥ It's lovely seeing your thoughts about s5! And that it, and s6, came at a point that in a way was so fitting in your life. ♥ Fandom can be such a blessing when one has to face terrible things in RL. *hugs*

I love the detailed account of your reactions to the whole of s5 and all the things you loved :D I fell in love with Eleven right off, too-despite having hated his End of Time tidbit, hahaha! And also felt very engaged right away by the new tone/style of the show. Amy was no favourite of mine for quite a while, tbh, but I'm warming up to her a bit these days. From the way I saw it, she had potential to be wonderfully complex, very strong and very fragile at the same time, rather broken even-I loved her in Eleventh Hour-and I felt like the show went too heavily on bossy, unfair!Amy, instead of exploring that. I would have been fine with both sides being very present, flawed characters and characters who use a façade of strength to hide their vulnerabilities are great (River!!!), but said vulnerabilities were left too much on the ( ... )

Fandom can, indeed, be a wonderful thing in time of stress. I definitely found fandom, and particularly my friends, very helpful across that very difficult time. I have lost contact with some of them but I remember them all very fondly -- and many of the most supportive and helpful came into my life as a direct result of S5, which will always have a place in my heart because of that.

I knew you would be my River-fountain :D Thank you so much. Those were all wonderful. I don't mind shippy, of course, because after Amy/Rory my DW ship is 11/River. But it is nice to see River getting recognition for her own awesomeness as well as her connection to the Doctor. That first vid is <3 ( ... )

♥ That’s great it could help you. Fandom helped a lot to keep me sane in the past, too, lol… Though it wasn’t for the same reasons. =P It’s always bittersweet when you lose touch with people, but indeed, the memories remain.

River-fountain, I love the sound of that! XD Yeah, I got what you meant about the shippiness-the ship is WONDERFUL, but River is smashing in her own right and she isn’t just the Doctor’s wife. And IKR? I loved that it started by some Pond family feels :D ( ... )
