OFFICIAL PICSPAM FRIDAY POST: A GOOD MAN GOES TO WARGreetings, gentlebeings! It is Friday! (Or it was when I started typing this post!) And one of us is actually posting Picspam Friday! I apologize for my massive fail on that front; first there was getting ready for Dragon*Con, and then there was Dragon*Con itself, and then there was post-Dragon*

The Cyberleader is not pleased with how this hand of sabaac is going.
/SPITS COKE OUT

Cool guys don't look at explosions.
I think this brings the total of Cool Guys in Doctor Who to three: Seven, Ten, and Rory. Someone please correct me if I have missed someone.

"The Holy Roman Empire: Neither holy nor Roman."
I miss that man.

(Also, I keep misreading that name as "Zarathustra".)
You and me both.

Anyone else ever wish this silhouette would appear on their doorstep? No? Just me, then?
Hnngsdlfgldhk.

Holy shit does he ever look like his Eleventh Hour derpy self here.
Nose be extra long and pointy, too.

I love Dorium. He's like a blue, English-speaking Jabba the Hutt.
/SNORTS COKE OUT NOSE HO, HO, HO

I want to nominate this, right here, as Rory's most badass moment to date. Kovarian's basically like "bitch, you think you can take me?" and he just smiles.
ALL OF THE AWARDS RORY WHY ARE YOU NOT IN MY BED YET ETC ETC ETC

Ladies and gentlemen, Arthur Darvill Rory Williams holding a baby.Ovaries. Pssh. Don't need 'em anymore. I've got

You would notice that last thing, wouldn't you.

Maybe TPTB told them to keep that space there, otherwise it'd look like they were having vertical sex and we can't have the kiddies seeing that?

Re: BO SHUDA

This. Coupled with the instaboner postulation. I mean damn, kissing Karen? Anyone not getting an instaboner needs to seek some kind of help, and that goes for wimmins as well.

Re: BO SHUDA

[stars_fell]

I'd like to postulate that for anyone kissing Arthur as well. Equal-opportunity instaboners for everyone.

[the_willows]

This was well worth the wait. Everything was beautiful, and quite a lot actually hurt, but the awesome made up for it. Moff is the master of stabbing us through the heart, but doing it in such an epic way the we enjoy it.

[stars_fell]

I am both looking forward and not looking forward to the finale, for that very reason. I understand shit gets real in the last ten minutes of Closing Time. ;SLKDJH;ALSDJH

[the_willows]

WAT.

You mean it's not all bromance and potentially controversial boy-snogs? XD

[stars_fell]

It is all that until the last ten minutes? :D According to Outpost Skaro, that's when we see who's in the astronaut suit. I FUCKING CAN'T

[lady_with_cats]

"Amy and Rory? Having sex on my TARDIS? HOW DARE YOU. THAT IS UNPOSSIBLE."

Totally IC, see: You swallowed a planet! :DD

[masakochan]

Is anyone else besides me bothered by the fact that his hair constantly looks like it's about to poke him in the eye?

YES. YEEEES.

Those were the cutest twin babies ever. And that scene with all three of them and the baby, right after it looked liked Rory had gotten Melody back, just - fhdsafjhak happiest scene. <3

The whole 'permission to hug?' thing had me thinking that Rory was still kind of in his 'Lone Centurion' mental-space, and the Doctor is just being careful around him since, especially after DotM, it doesn't seem like Rory made it out of those 2000 years entirely sane.

RORY IS DUAL-WIELDING A MELEE WEAPON AND A RANGED WEAPON. AND HE'S A HEALER. YOU CAN'T DO THAT. IT'S NOT ALLOWED.

If this was taking place in one of the universes from the Final Fantasy game series- Rory would most likely be a red mage. Red mages are able to handle weapons, along with black (destructive) and white (healing) magic.

[masakochan]

Also:

That dawning moment of comprehension we all live for.

I am never going to not find that scene hilarious. And one of the biggest reasons is Matt's face when the Doctor realizes that the Ponds did a *CHALLENGE ACCEPTED* when they found the bunk beds after they got in the TARDIS on their wedding night. xD

[too_fairytale]

I bet his lame ass did that on purpose. He totally forgot about the human propensity for adapting to ANY SITUATION. :D

[stars_fell]

See, I'm used to games like World of Warcraft and Lord of the Rings Online. (I feel like Star Wars Galaxies doesn't count, because back when I played you could master two professions at once and therefore--like me--be a doctor who could also kick your ass.) The main healing class in LOTRO doesn't even get a weapon, just an instrument to play! In WoW healers can equip weapons, but they can't dual-wield, and they sure as hell can't equip ranged. :D

Also, I so fucking wish they would mention the fact that Rory can remember those 2000 years more often. It's weird--in the comics it gets mentioned all the time like it ain't no thang.

[stick_poker]

Eleven trying to make Lorna smile in her last moments and after she dies, it becoming obvious that he hasn't met her yet.
Ooo; unexpectedly thought-provoking. I'd always taken that as a rather bum note where the Doctor had forgotten her and that's why he had to ask, illustrating ways in which he's possibly becoming the person Kovarian hates, but I obviously didn't have my timey-wimey-spotting head on.

I'd also never seen the sonic screwdriver poster before either. Ace.

[owlsie]

That was my thought too, but I think it's deliberately ambiguous. It's tragic either way, but if he hasn't actually met her yet, that leaves the door open for an adventure with her later on.

[stick_poker]

Either way it makes me a bit uncomfortable. Not so much that he's lying to someone to make them feel a bit better in their last moments, that's kind of an excusable thing to do, but that given someone who suggests she met him briefly, his best guess is that what they did together was run. And once again it seems to be true, which implies moving towards a situation where actually he doesn't need to remember anyone after all because he can get away with quite a callous kind of 'oh, yeah, hey, person I don't remember, hey, I bet we ran together, yeah? Wasn't it cool?' which, argh. That's what needs defying, I suppose.

[elisi]

Huh. I had... a very different reaction. Or reactions, rather.

1. This is a girl who met him when she was tiny, and in order to meet him again she joined the army. To fight against him. This isn't just turning people into weapons, it's far worse. (Also - hello Melody!)

2. He's not even met her yet, and already she's died for him. What will he do when he *does* meet her, and she's tiny, knowing what fate has in store? How can you live with that knowledge? It's a bit like Mars, but with him as the deciding factor in how her life turns out, and the fact that she'll die young.

This is the mirror that gets held up to him in AGMGTW, and it's one he can't keep running from. (ETA: I'm completely unspoiled!)
