a thing about the tenth doctor’s death is that we’re told he has a choice, but he never really did.
we’re told “he could have chosen to leave wilf, but he didn’t! he chose to die for him instead!”. but the doctor doesn’t do that. the doctor doesn’t leave people to die while saving himself.
in the end of time, he talks about his fear of regeneration. the feeling of becoming a new man, leaving all he is behind.
if he’d left wilf in that chamber, he would have been a new man. it would have made him someone else, someone more arrogant and probably more susceptible to the countless temptations he faces on his journeys. it would have sent him down a path of bitterness and rage and pride, and it would have changed him.
so there was never a choice. either way, the doctor, as he knew himself, would die.

I've been thinking about this for a hot sec and I don't think there's anyone better than you to ask about this: I've seen a lot of concersation around Eärendil wanting to choose the fate of Men but choosing to be counted among the Eldar for Elwing's Sake but surprisingly little on what caused her decision in the first place. Do you have any thoughts/headcanons on her choice?
First of all thank you so much, that’s so kind of you to think of me 🥹
I think Elwing is obviously somebody who went through an insane amount of trauma, but she’s also a very determined person and deep down she has an optimistic streak that just can’t be broken. Despite everything she goes through, she builds a life and a home and a community in Sirion, and even after the third kinslaying causes her to attempt suicide she keeps going afterwards - she flies onwards to Earendil and then insists on following him off the ship and onto Aman.
So with that in mind, I think Elwing chooses immortality because she still has that stubborn streak of hope. Earendil feels weary of the world, but she loved the little corner of the world that she carved out too much to leave the whole world behind, even if the havens of Sirion themselves are destroyed forever. And with immortality there’s the chance that over the many many thousands of years she’ll be able to find some healing and peace, even if it’s so far out of reach right now that it feels almost impossible. This woman is STUBBORN . And finally of course, with the Choice being granted to her descendants, choosing immortality makes it possible that she’ll be able to reunite with them within the circles of the world should they make the same choice, whereas it’s much more nebulous if they’ll meet again should they all choose to die a mortal death, and she’d be sundered from them forever if she chose mortality and her sons didn’t.
