In moments like these, I think he’s reflecting the pain of all of the regenerations from his past. 

You have to remember, Eleventh is essentially the aftermath of Tenth. The various incarnations of the Doctor always reflect what had destroyed the previous incarnation.

Tenth had allowed himself to get too human. He had formed romantic relationships with his companions and was a far more emotional Doctor than previous versions.

Eleventh reacted by alienating himself from those around him instead. He doesn’t let people see his feelings. Eleventh does all he can to make people laugh, and to make people think he truly is “always alright”.

All of the above, yes.

The Doctor started as an almost grandfatherly character when we’re introduced to him. He takes people under his wing, takes responsibility for those who travel with him because they’d never get into the messes he encounters if they hadn’t decided to hop on board the TARDIS and go on a journey. He has accidental travelers, stowaways, the whole range of them, and he simply cares for them and makes sure they’re fine. But then there’s more. The Doctor has a family, has a granddaughter who travels with him and chooses a human love and life over an eternity of travel, sees appreciation in humanity over the stars that our dear Time Lord has always so adored, and so he works at it, to become the most humane person he can, only destroying his enemies when he needs to.

But the Time War changes him, as any war changes any soldier. He fights, not on the side of the Daleks or the Time Lords, but on the side of the rest of the universe, the one side nobody else wants to take, and in the process, he loses everything. In the New Who that most people are exposed to, we meet his ninth regeneration, one with a fierce defense mechanism when it comes to other people, but very little care for himself. He throws himself into the path of danger over and over, and it’s only sheer luck that he survives half the time. If Rose hadn’t been around, he would have gotten himself seriously injured or killed multiple times in that season. Nine hates Daleks with a passion, he is a man of fire and fury and the ability to burn through worlds, but love stops him, and he regenerates for love.

Ten comes into the scene, born of a kiss, and immediately in the Christmas Special we see him do something that we’re not accustomed to… sleeping, exhausted, and unable to help in their time of need. Of course he comes through at the end, he always does, but he’s distinctly human, recognizing which social habits are unacceptable in company, dressing smart, trying to impress a girl. He’s in love, and he forgoes his ability to roam around free throughout time and space because he’s found a tether, a lifeline of sorts, and when he loses it, he’s devastated. He fills the gaps the only way he knows how, drifting and lonely until he finds someone who’s willing to connect with him while still mourning for Rose. His emotional negligence drives away Martha, and he finds a fantastic friend in Donna, only to lose her as well. The realization occurs, in the end of all things, that everyone he interacts with becomes a soldier, just like he was, and that knowledge nearly breaks him.

Oh, but that’s not all, of course not. There was the one glimmer of hope, the Master’s return, the I’d-dare-not-have-hoped possibility that there was another Time Lord left, that he hadn’t caused the utter devastation of his race, that there was someone who might understand the kind of life he led. And so he allowed it, a year in captivity for the sake of knowing that his once-friend was still alive and well, even if he had to undo the damage, even if he had to use the power of humans (still always humans) to reverse time itself. And he cried when the Master died in his arms, begged him not to go, but as always, he was left behind. So he buried him and ran, only to find that burial hadn’t kept him down and even still he tried to reason with him, tried to make him understand that they could lead a life without the perpetual loneliness that plagued him, the constant guilt that might have been alleviated just a little to know that there was someone of his own kind that he may have been able to help, and that disappeared too. So he gave up. He gave up his life for the love of a friend who wouldn’t remember him, for Donna, because her grandfather was the dearest person left in her life. He left that life behind to turn into this, what you see above.

What you see above is Eleven. He’s the man who thinks he’s a monster, who is his own worst enemy. This is the Time Lord who is the stuff of his own nightmares, who is plagued by every guilt imaginable, whose only solace as a dying man was a little ginger girl that refused to stop believing in him, the only one he hadn’t done wrong by. Rule number one: The Doctor lies. And most of the time, it’s for your own good.

(Everyone should take time and read this.)

((This actually made me cry.

That never happens.

Oh god, Doctor, come here, please let me love you.))

Oh, Blaine…His face here is heartbreaking. You can see he really thinks his relationship with Kurt is just…done. And that hangup before Blaine was able to finish saying “I love you” was probably just the final confirmation in his mind.

Blainers, you’re so insecure, buddy. :/ Now you’ve hurt Kurt and yourself in the worst way. 

#ZANE#STAHHHHHHHHHP#STAHP#ZAANE

NO, NEVER.

Look at that face, LOOK AT IT. He doesn’t think his love is enough without it being confirmed despite everything else Kurt has said to him regarding the distance. He doesn’t trust what they have without constant reassurance, the same why he doubted himself with Cooper around. It’s that same insecurity, and whether it originally stemmed from Cooper’s shadow or his parents or Sadie Hawkins iteats at him. For whatever reason its always there, gnawing away at the best of him and the best things in his life.

And he finally lost total control of it here, gave in and surrendered himself to the insecurity he’s plagued with. It’s the one thing he’s never been able to run from, unlike everything else in his life, and now he pays the price. A steeper price than he ever imagined, because it means Kurt and his own heart and everything he held himself together with.

Ouch, I just hurt myself.

This is for Ally because she’s a little bit too obsessed with blangst and insisted I post another blangsty photoset.

Blaine sighed, shutting the lid on his laptop. It wasn’t just today that he’d been recieving hate messages on his wall… It had been every single day since he’d started at his new school. Usually, he’d be able to deal with the idiotic slurs because he’d have his boyfriend and best friend Kurt by his side to help him through it. But ever since Kurt had moved to New York to work for vogue.com, Blaine had nobody there to help him. 

Blaine picked up his phone and dialed Kurt’s number, hoping his friend would pick up. It had been days since he’d heard Kurt’s voice and maybe, his sweet and innocent voice could calm him down. But if he didn’t pick up… That was it. He was going to do this. All of a sudden, the phone beeped on the other end, telling Blaine that Kurt had rejected the call. Blaine felt his heart drop down to his knees as he let it go to voice mail.

“H-Hi, Kurt… I know you just rejected the call and that means you probably don’t want to talk to me or you’re busy or something. But I have to say this now… I have fifteen minutes” He took a deep breath in and listened to the little voice at the back of his mind telling him to apologise. “I’m so sorry for what I’m about to do, but I can’t go on living in this amount of torment every single day. I love you, Kurt. With all of my heart… And I am so crazy about you that it hurts me knowing you’re in New York living your dream and I’m stuck in Lima, with the jocks throwing stones at me in the hallways” He blinked back a few tears and looked at the time. He had ten minutes until his mom and dad were home. “I know you told me not to give in to the bullies and to stay strong while you’re gone, but I’m tired of being the bigger man about this. I love you, I love you, I love you and I want you to be happy. Please, move on. Don’t keep yourself back because you think I’m the only one for you. I’m not. You’ll find somebody who will make you feel like you’re living a teenage dream. I love you. And again, I’m sorry. Goodbye, Kurt. Take care of yourself, beautiful.“ 

Slowly, he hung up the phone and made his way over to the chair. His hands shaking, his forehead sweating.

And just like that, it was all over.

WOAH HOLY SHIT

I WAS NOT READY FOR THAT

NO

#Look at how desperate and pleading Dean is here #Begging Sam to understand #How much of his entire existence depends on him #How protecting Sam gives Dean meaning #If you should get mad at someone Sam you should be mad at John #For drilling these notions into a young Dean’s head until it became a second skin #He HAD to #It’s his JOB #It’s not just his job though it’s his LIFE #From ever since he was 4 and probably even before then #Always looking out for others but tossing himself aside #Because he wasn’t taught to place any value on himself outside of his role as protector #Dean my heart breaks for you #You are important too #You are loved by many #And without you many would not have lived #Give yourself some credit #You’re more than Daddy’s Little Soldier
