I love you.

#See the thing is #People joked about it when I said that this line always makes my heart hurt #But what they fail to realize is the Doctor’s voice cracks at this part #Because after everything they’ve been through together #After ‘forever’ and ‘I believe in her’ and ‘oh she knows’ #Of course he knows that she loves him #Just like he loves her #Desperately utterly completely loves her #So when she says ‘I love you’ #His voice cracks - he loses his nonchalant mask that he’s been putting on with his ‘still got Mr Mickey then’ and his smiles #His voice cracks because this pink and yellow girl - Rose Tyler Defender of the Earth - she loves him #’Quite right too’ because nothing else in the world is more certain to him than the fact that Rose loves him and he loves her #ugh my fucking heart #EVERYTHING IS DOCTOR AND ROSE AND EVERY SINGLE DAMN THING HURTS (via winterinthetardis)

SHE SPEAKS THE TRUTH (I know her name is Nili, but we’ve never been properly introduced, so it feels weird to use her name)

Additional Sads:

In this scene, the Doctor runs out of time. A TIME LORD runs out of time.

He went in knowing he had a time limit, but Rose Tyler does this thing to him:  She makes him feel human. She lets him forget-for a minute-that the world is turning and seconds are ticking and timelines are twirling and it’s all on his shoulders. For two minutes, all he can see is Rose.

And he loses track of time. He doesn’t get to finish his sentence.

The cruel beauty of this moment is this: That is exactly the fate of his and Rose’s relationship. She makes him human, but when he feels human, he forgets. He loses track of time and space to spend it with her. That’s not a bad thing in and of itself, but it does deny his very nature—that he’s a Time Lord, and that he uses his abilities to right the wrongs of the world. The nature Rose fell in love with.  Even if he does say, “Blast it all!” and live humanly with Rose, eventually he’ll run out of time. For him, a lifetime is a blink of an eye. How does he comprehend her timeline? How can she understand his? One day he’ll wake up and realize it’s been sixty years.

This is also why the human!Time Lord is the only answer. Not only for Rose’s sake—it fulfills his own dream to be human, to live that life, while still retaining the parts of his nature that brought them together in the first place. Maybe TenToo is a Time Lord who doesn’t have to shoulder the burden of time any more.
