Finally got around to watching 'The Angels Take Manhattan,' and River/Eleven is supremely fucked up

Here's the thing: Rose Tyler would have followed the Doctor anywhere. And given the choice, she would have died holding the Doctor's hand rather than leave him behind, even if she had a nice, safe escape route.

And yes, if she hadn't ended up in an alternate universe with a human version of Ten, she would have had to deal with the whole, 'I am mortal, you are elfkind, it was but a dream Arwen' issue.

But I can't imagine her saying anything like, "When one is in love with an ageless god who insists on the face of a twelve year old, one does one's best to hide the damage," or "Never let him see the damage. And never ever let him see you age. He doesn't like endings."

And if she broke her wrist, she wouldn't have lied about it and then gotten mad and embarrassed because it was proof she was vulnerable and weak, she would have griped about it through gritted teeth and said, "My wrist  fucking hurts, why couldn't you have been a proper medical doctor, don't you dare try to fix it with your sonic screwdriver, just take me to hospital!"

He threw one down from the top of the stairs
Beautiful women were standing everywhere
They all got wet when he smashed that thing
But off in the dark you could hear somebody sing

Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars
Smashing a perfectly good guitar
I don't know who they think they are
Smashing a perfectly good guitar

It started back in 1963
His momma wouldn't buy him that new red harmony
He settled for a sunburst with a crack
But he's still trying to break his momma's back

He loved that guitar just like a girlfriend
But every good thing comes to an end
Now he just sits in his room all day
Whistling every note he ever played

There oughta be a law with no bail
Smash a guitar and you go to jail
With no chance for early parole
You don't get out until you get some soul

Late at night the end of the road
He wished he still had the old guitar to hold
He'd rock it like a baby in his arms
Never let it come to any harm

Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars
Smashing a perfectly good guitar
I don't know who they think they are
Smashing a perfectly good guitar
