Aslan's Compass

I wish you could have been there for the sun & the rain & the long, hard hills. For the sound of a thousand conversations scattered along the road. For the people laughing & crying & remembering at the end. But, mainly, I wish you could have been there.

Hello friends! It’s come to my attention that I hit 512.9 followers and I’ve decided to celebrate and give some things away!

There will be 3 winners. The 1st place winner will receive everything bolded below. However, two other users will receive a goody bag with merchandise from False-Nostalgia (One Doctor Who inspired perfume, a Spoilers lip tint, a pen, and a Doctor Who playing card).

Also, If you have been following me before May 6th, 2013 or if you decide to jump aboard the silly train or if I just like your blog, I might be adding in some extra goodies. It might be a Samulet, it might be some old wires from a video game controller, it might be a Macaroni portrait of your OTP, or it could be a deck of pointless pokemon cards. Either way, we just don’t know…

Let’s take a look at this Sexy merchandise: 

  • Exploding TARDIS T-shirt (Size Women XL) 
  • Doctor Who: “Doctionary” - It’s a dictionary of everything Who narrated by The Doctor himself. Very cute. I definitely recommend this for every Whovian.
  • TARDIS Journal - I received this gift from one of my friends (she purchased it from this Etsy shop).  Not a single page has been written in!
  • “Allons-y!” Perfume by False-Nostalgia - This is warm and comforting, yet fresh and crisp at the same time, and simply lovable. Warm Amber, Rosewood (we had to sneak the Bad Wolf in there somewhere, right?), White Ginger (the flower, not the spice. Rude and not ginger!), a crisp green note, and a soft hint of snow (Vale Decem). 
  • “Bad Wolf Bay” Perfume by False-Nostalgia - A perfectly somber scent for one of the saddest scenes on television. </3  The salty ocean notes make this fresh and modern, while the fresh cut roses sweeten the aquatics and make the scent more feminine.  
  • “Captain Jack” Perfume by False-Nostalgia - A dark, smoky vanilla with oak and bourbon. This is a grown-up, sexy vanilla, not a dessert/bakery scent. Warning: This is a scent that appeals to both men and women. ;)
  • “Spoilers” Lip Tint by False-Nostalgia - Made with coconut oil, bees wax, organic shea butter, organic cocoa butter, vitamin E, castor oil, Lip-safe colorant and mica, flavor oil, Stevia Leaf Extract. A sexy shade that you might wear on a date to see the Singing Towers of Darillium. ;)

Rules:

  • You don’t have to be following me to win 
  • If you have unfollowed me (yes, I have the list) then you have proven to me that you do not want my love and, therefore, I will pick another winner. 
  • No Giveaway Blogs or so help me

Okay, so we all know that River Song’s real name is Melody Pond. And, that the only reason why she went on to call herself River Song is because in Let’s Kill Hitler the Doctor reveals that that is what he calls her.

The Doctor says the name you choose is like a promise.

And I think that day because of whatever he whispered in her ear as he was dying, she chose that name and made her promise.

The promise to be his River Song.

If you reblog/post Classic Who please like or reblog this and I will follow you.

Can we just take a moment here to talk about this scene. He has mentioned her, as Professor Song to Clara. He has not mentioned her as Professor River Song or as his wife. Because it hurt him too much to be even as specific as her first name.

Clara: Who was she? The lady with the funny name and the space hair?
Doctor: An old…friend, of mine.
Clara: What, like an ex?
Doctor: Yes an ex. River asked Vastra for the exact words, what were they?
Clara: “The Doctor has a secret he will take to the grave, it is discovered—”
Doctor: *crying*
Clara: Doctor…
Doctor: And it was Trenzalore, it was definitely Trenzalore?
Clara: *nods* Yeah.
Doctor: *cries* Sorry. *jumps up and runs out of the house*

This is probably the first time he has said River’s name in a long time, because it is just too hard for him. This man is heartbroken, and instead of wearing his hearts on his sleeve he has decided not to talk about her like she is his wife. Clara doesn’t know who she is so she doesn’t know the significance of her, so she doesn’t understand why he’s crying. But we know, we know who River is and why it would effect him so much.

Even when she follows him into the TARDIS he doesn’t fill Clara in quite yet, he just says. “River would know though. River always knew.” There’s a fondness and sadness in his voice, but there’s no use saying  “Professor Song” anymore. Clara has met her. He can’t hide behind River’s title anymore.

When he sees her grave later he has a hard time dealing with that, but he hides it a lot better than before. But the presence of her grave doesn’t make sense to him. He can hear Clara and River. So I’m sure when River said things so that Clara would repeat them, he listened to River. Clara just repeated her.

Also, I don’t know if anyone caught it or not…but…

River: Maybe it’s a secret entrance to the tomb.
Clara: Maybe it’s a secret entrance to the tomb!
Doctor: Right! Makes sense! They’d never bury my wife out here!
Clara: Your WHAT — ?
Doctor: *looks at Clara and gasps*
*they then fall through the ground*

I don’t think he meant to explain who River was, but in the heat of the moment he calls her his wife. He wasn’t doing that to tell Clara, “oh yeah, River’s my wife, but she died, so yeah…” It was a gut reaction. “They’d never bury my wife out here.” I think that’s one book he didn’t want to open to Clara. I don’t think it was that he didn’t trust her with that information, I think it was because he didn’t want to talk about her, because it hurt him too much.

Clara: Where are we?
Doctor: Catacombs.
Clara: I hate catacombs. So how come I met your dead wife?
Doctor: Oh you know how it is when you lose someone close to you. I sort of made a backup.
River: I died saving him. In return he saved me to a database in the biggest library in the universe. Left me like a book on a shelf. Didn’t even say goodbye. He doesn’t like endings.

Can I also point out that The Doctor stops a little ways up. Since he can hear and see River, he is letting her explain it to Clara so that he doesn’t have to. I think it would be too painful for him to have to explain that to Clara, so when River offers up this information he waits for River to explain.

I can only imagine what must have gone through his head though when River said, “left me like a book on a shelf. … He doesn’t like endings.” River knows him better than anyone, and he knows she’s right, but I think a part of him may have crumpled at that, he had hurt her, in an effort to not hurt himself.

He cries for River. There’s no doubt in my mind. He’s done such a good job at not mentioning her, and not dealing with her death because he’s been in denial, but he can’t deny it anymore. And Clara has now seen River, and now in a sense, the book is off the shelf.

this is inevitable, and you are forgiven
