On Amy Pond and Steven Moffat

Seeing the news that Moffat was coming back to Doctor Who spurred me on to write this article, Steven Moffat Was a Good ‘Doctor Who’ Writer, but I Can Never Forgive Him for What He Did to Amy Pond.

Ideally I would embed the article, but WordPress lacks that very basic functionality. Here’s a snippet:

My trouble in those days started when I fell utterly and totally in love with Amy Pond. She was the first of Moffat’s Who companions and she was everything I wanted in a female character. She was smart, she was witty, she was beautiful, she was… oh wait, this girl is messed up.

My god did they throw in so many achingly romantic tropes for the Peter/Harry story in MSM2. Peter’s utter refusal to believe that Harry is lost to the symbiote forever. Peter casually musing that if he was a bird, he’d go to the woods where he and Harry hung out as teenagers. Venom’s relentless pursuit of Spider-Man because he wants to heal the world, but only with him. Harry ripping open his chest to bare his heart to Peter.

But none of that took away from the enjoyment of the story. I loved all these characters (except the ones I loved to hate.) But if you’ve read this blog enough you’ll know Harry was the main draw for me. I’ve written him so much that he half feels like my own character, you know? So here’s what I thought about his arc:

The Final Act – PanicPixieDreamGirl – Spider-Man (Movies – Raimi) [Archive of Our Own]

I have an ongoing Raimiverse Parksborn fic up on AO3 now.

Well, I say “Parksborn” but it’s not in the traditional sense, because it’s set immediately post (actually, sort of during) Spider-Man 3 and thus one of them is dead. It’s more of a… I don’t know what it is. Let’s call it a character study of Mary Jane, a love letter to the Spider-Man Trilogy and a hate letter to the 2000s, with a LOT of deeply personal things thrown in there that you won’t actually recognize.

I’ve been working on it since 2021. Here’s the first two chapters.

God, I hope this turns out good.
