#when you watch this scene and realize this apathy and bitterness isn't just about the ponds#this is after he lost river #and he's convinced the universe doesn't give a damn about him#because if it had #it would never have taken her from him #stupid angsty otp #don't even look at me (via mygalfriday)
#so true#it makes this episode so much sadder#but it also makes way more sense#if river had still been around#and he was just grieving the ponds#there's no way he would've been sulking alone on a cloud for who knows how long#he would've been treasuring the time left with her#which is why he's clearly taken her to darillium by now#and river's loss is probably affecting him even more than the ponds'#i mean this line even echoes back to what she said in twors#'you've decided that the universe is better off without you. but the universe doesn't agree'#well#river believed that wholeheartedly#but the universe didn't care when she died#so that's the grieving widower's new philosophy#ugh#11/river#so married#ts#my thoughts
