chmurny:

…when, accidentally, I happened to pause during the part where the explosion happens and a bunch of images flash by really quickly

and it stopped

right on this:

(you know, just that moment when Dave turns to Rose to say some last thing AND THEN THEY GET INCINERATED IN A FLASH OF WHITEHOT LIGHT, no big deal)

followed by this

(her turning, never to hear what he was about to say but still thinking only of him in her last moments)

and then I clicked through really slowly and realized

holy shit, you guys, Dave takes off his shades for her.

that thing, that people are always writing into fics as the sort of Ultimate Proof that Dave loves somebody? it happened in canon. and he did it for Rose. it just happened too quickly for anybody to see.

HOLY SHIT.

excuse me, I just need to sit here in stunned silence and drowning in feelings for a while.
