Parallels between Rory and Mickey.

Rory Williams character study: I know
Now. Amy tells Rory she can’t have children- that’s the big awful secret that drove their relationship almost to breakdown- and he says he knows. He knew all along she couldn’t have children!? Wait, what?
So…I think Rory did know, he knew perfectly well she couldn’t have kids- but he thought she meant psychologically. After having one child under such terrible circumstances, and pretty much having to give it up, Rory would probably understand perfectly well that another kid wasn’t a good option for Amy. He knew, he’d accepted it a long time ago.
Watch his face in the last gif, when Amy starts talking about Demon’s Run. That’s a look of realisation and horror. He thought he knew what was going on- maybe that was even the reason for the earlier I love you more than you love me; a case of I tell you important things but you don’t extend me the same courtesy, I want to help you but I have to guess at your secrets!
But he was wrong.

Karen Gillan on Amy Pond. “She’s just a strong girl, woman, whatever. Oh, let’s just say she’s a strong female. (…) She’s not just standing around in awe of the Doctor. I guess Amy’s attitude is ‘Come on, impress me’. And she’s not going to mope around when the Doctor’s not there – she’s going to do her own thing, whether it’s fighting monsters in strange new worlds, or just getting on with her life.” (Radio Times).

Could you make something Doctor Who/Christmas? Something with the Ponds and many, many fairy lights? (and perhaps with the doctor!) I just really liked your last DW drawing, the colours and the design are simply stunning and since you take requests, I thought something similar and X-mas inspired would be lovely. I know I don’t have a concrete idea, but isn’t it better to leave you room to improvise? Thank you in advance!!!The Doctor took them to see the city that boasts one of the most spectacular decorations in the galaxy.
The planet doesn’t celebrate Christmas per se – the lights are permanent and some of them a tiny bit alive. They represent souls liberated in the Great Slave Upheaval that happened a few hundred years ago, ending the civilisation’s darker times. (Team TARDIS may have had something to do with its origins.)

These videos are region-locked, and I know people wanted to see them, but I can’t work out how to download them off of the BBC site, woe. So I transcribed them instead, and took some screencaps.
I don’t think they’re ‘official’ videos as such, they’re just a fun thing for kids, but still! It’s Amy and Rory talking to the audience and it’s darn cute.
[Amy is typing something on the TARDIS console. Then she sighs and looks up.] Okay kid, this is where it gets complicated.
I’m writing a blog about all of my adventures- best blog ever! – but anyway. Not like my friend Lisa’s, who blogs about working in a sweet shop, which you’d think would be pretty impressive, but it’s all about this guy called Brian who’s ignoring her. Probably because he’s read her blog and is terrified.
Whereas mine, mine is all about Daleks and Ood and Weeping Angels. Well, it would be, if I ever got round to writing any of it. Too many things get in the way, y’know, like…Daleks, and Ood, and Weeping Angels.
I tried getting Rory to do it, but he said no, which was very brave of him. And the Doctor offered to do some of it, but it was all written in maths, and then he got distracted and started designing himself a hat-
Anyway, so this is where you come in. I’d love you to write one of my adventures for me, pretending to be me for my blog, as me, so I can keep my blog up to date. So come on, write it up and send it to me!
And then I’ll have a really cool blog, and the Doctor and Rory will think I did it all by myself.

[TARDIS console, Rory suddenly pops up from the floor. He’s wearing a plaid shirt with, er, another plaid shirt over that]
Whoa! Woo! What just happened? No, really, can’t remember. Uh… [breathes out] …no, nothing. I hate it when that happens. You see, there’s something in the TARDIS that keeps stealing my memories but I can’t remember what it is. The Doctor says it’s a fault with the telepathic circuits and he’ll fix it someday but he keeps forgetting.
You see, there’s something in the TARDIS that keeps stealing my memories, and… [pause] …have I just said that?
[looks confused for a second]
Listen, I don’t suppose you could fill me in on what I’ve been up to since yesterday, could you? Where I’ve been, who I’ve met, all my adventures, that sort of thing? If you could write it pretending to be me, that would really help.
Then I’ll read it and think that I wrote it. [smiles]
Cos it’s not like I’ll remember, is it? You see, there’s something in the TARDIS that keeps stealing my memories
