How often do you think of the roman empire?

EVERY SINGLE DAY.

#i love rory so much you dont understand #the last centurion #amy and rory #rory williams #rory pond #the ponds #doctor who #dr who #11th doctor #the doctor #the tardis #ancient rome #roman empire #2000 years he waited. who else has that dedication #get yourself a man like rory #or a woman #live laugh love rory williams. #amy pond #amyrory #the girl who waited

[hxlbrook]

there is actually nothing prettier than Rory dressed as a roman and I'm convinced the Doctor somewhat agrees with me. Why else did the Doctor tell Rory to wear that in a good man goes to war, when there was literally no reason for Rory to be wearing a lil' centurion outfit.

This must have been how Rory Williams felt when waiting Amy to come back.

(AO3 has been down for a couple of hours).

If amy pond were alive today she'd say her roman empire is the last centurion

and im back on tumblr for my once per annum activity...

my contribution isss... a collection of people who waited:

Number one, Miss Amelia Pond :She waited the shortest time of the people on my list... Well, before I added people who technically waited even less time but shush.

Number two, Mr Rory Williams : He waited 2000 years give or take ... but then the universe was rebooted, so did it ever really happen ???

Number three, Rose Tyler... I bet she waited on that sodding beach for hours before Jackie managed to drag her home... But our Rose didn't wait for as long as some of the other people on this list cause she was proactive/ripped another hole in the universe for what she wanted (marry me pls rose)

Number four, Mrs Angry Amelia Pond: she waited for the better half of her lifetime, only to be intentionally left behind, I mean, that's gotta sting... BUT NOT FOR LONG because then she stopped existing, and that version of events was erased, so ... did it ever really happen???

Number five and final on our list is Merlin. 'Nuff said. (Legend says hes still going, my poor sad gays, someone help him).

Unrelated, but I did read a crossover fic once where Rory and Merlin crossed paths and became tea buddies whilst waiting. I would go and find the link, but I think it's on wattpad... and I'm never (going to admit to) going back there... never...

anyways bye, see ya next year, peeps xx

The last Centurian

Yes, I'm still chewing my way through Doctor Who...

If they don't fight for me the way RORY WILLIAMS does for Amy I don't want them lmao. Can we just appreciate the man?! The fucking lengths he went to for Amy. Muah. Beautiful. And to top it off those scenes where we see the lengths Amy would go to to be with Rory. Ahhhh. I'm not saying they're perfect. However, the love is there. Love that I envy haha.

This is likely good documentation for why I will never find a partner. Standards are too high.

The Lone Centurion

"According to legend, wherever the Pandorica was taken, throughout its long history, the Centurion would be there, guarding it. He appears as an iconic image in the artwork of many cultures, and there are several documented accounts of his appearances, and his warnings to the many who attempted to open the box before its time. His last recorded appearance was during the London Blitz in 1941. The warehouse where the Pandorica was stored was destroyed by incendiary bombs, but the box itself was found the next morning, a safe distance from the blaze. There are eyewitness accounts from the night of the fire of a figure in Roman dress, carrying the box from the flames. Since then, there have been no sightings of the Lone Centurion, and many have speculated that if he ever existed, he perished in the fires of that night, performing one last act of devotion to the box he had pledged to protect for nearly two thousand years."

Will she be safer if I stay?

The Lone Centurion, acrylic on canvas

[ID: a painting of Rory Williams from Doctor Who in his centurion outfit. He is surrounded by and composed of red, yellow, and orange nebulae and outlined in white. White stars can be seen through the colors. Gold writing at the top of the image is slightly obscured by the nebulae, and it reads, “how could I leave her?” End ID]

#I wanted the nebula to look kinda like flames as well as space-y since the last time the centurion was seen was in a fire! #this is gonna be a gift for my bf who loves Rory :) #doctor who #doctor who art #doctor who fanart #dw art #dw fanart #rory williams #amy pond #amelia pond #eleventh doctor #eleven #moffat era #the last centurion #the lone centurion #my stuff #my art #described by me #kinda wanna do something similar for Clara on a leaf! but I’m not sure what colors to do for her

[silly-scout]

as a fairly new doctor who can, does someone mind explaining rory to me? i absolutely adore him, but i never quite understood him following the centurion thing. is he part robot/cyberman? did i misinterpret that episode entirely?

the thing that baffled me the most was that over the 2000 years he waited for amy, he didn’t age, but in ‘the angels take manhattan,’ he sees his future self, and he appears old. again, i may have misinterpreted things, but if anyone minds explaining, it would be greatly appreciated. thanks :)

This is a Rory Williams appreciation post

Because I have recently finished season 6 and I need to shout about it to someone.

(Disclaimer: Severe season 5 and 6 spoilers ahead. If you haven't watched them yet, run away very very fast. Or don't, it's up to you. But you have been warned)

Okay, don't get me wrong. I love Amy, she's great. And I love The Doctor, because well, he's The Doctor, and also Matt Smith, so he's great too.

But.

But. But. But

If I had to pick a favorite...

Rory. Fucking.Arthur. Williams.

I don't even know where to start with this man.

The way he loves Amy. The way he cares about her more than the entire goddamn universe. The way he DOES NOT BUDGE from her side even when she kisses another man the night before their wedding, then proceeds to severely third-wheel him in a very Mickey Smith sort of way for the better part of two episodes (which in retrospect isn't really that much, but STILL) and takes her sweet time to realize she is in love with him.

We are talking, ladies and gentlemen, about the Last goddamn Centurion. This is a man who willingly lived through every single second of 2000 years of human history only to protect Amy Pond. 2000 years without so much as a wink of sleep, or rest, or any synonym of the word. How does this man's heart not physically burst from the sheer amount of love he has for Amy?!?!

I just...I want one. I want a Rory. Does anybody know where I can find a Rory? Pretty please?

And another thing. I'm not sure what it was that Rory did to the writers of this show but JESUS CHRIST. Why so much hate?

And just to prove I'm not even exaggerating, here's a brief summary of some of the things which have happened to this poor guy in seasons 5 and 6. (From the point where he officially joins Amy and The Doctor in the TARDIS onwards, that is)

- S5E7. Killed by the Eknodine in the Dream Lord's fake reality. (And given that horrible ponytail, btw)

- S5E9. Murdered in cold blood by a rogue Silurian, then absorbed by a time crack and hence deleted from the memory of the entire universe. (Being murdered obviously wasn't enough, no)

- S5E13. This is a big one. Revived as an Auton, realized Amy doesn't remember him, then when Amy finally does remember he unwillingly kills her because of his programming (which he eventually breaks free from), stays with the Pandorica for 2000 odd years and finally, after all of that, gets erased from reality. Again. (But it's okay because The Doctor has rebooted the universe, so real Rory came back. Or, rather, never left in the first place. Doctor Who is complicated, okay?!)

- S6E3. To start off the season well, he drowns and practically dies, and is then transferred to a spaceship healing facility where he is essentially hooked to a live support system until Amy brings him back to life.

- S6E4. Tortured and "killed" by the thing controlling the TARDIS, who had a blast warping time and making him go crazy and ultimately making him die of old age. (Not sure if it even counts as a death, but his rotting skeleton was there, so I'm counting it)

- S6E6. Finds out that his wife is not actually his wife but is instead a bunch of sentient flesh which is pretending to be his wife; and that his actual wife is nine months pregnant and currently giving birth to their daughter God knows where. (I did say it was complicated).

- S6E7. Finds Amy and baby Melody, only to lose Melody to the creepy eye patch lady because having lost Amy in the exact same way the previous episode clearly wasn't enough torture for him.

- S6E10. Has "other" Amy (the older version) absolutely hate his guts for something which isn't his fault at all, and has to re-convince her that she loves him. Again. (Seriously, Amy?). Then, he has to sacrifice the other Amy to save his Amy, which was extremely painful for him. (Man, this season gets weirder and weirder, doesn't it?)

- S6E13. Suffers inhumane amounts of pain and almost dies (again) when he lets himself be electrocuted by the eye patch thingy to give Amy, River and The Doctor time to escape. (I know this wasn't technically the same Rory that went through all those other things, but I decided to include it anyway)

AND I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED SEASON 7 YET. Give the man a break! And stop killing him, for God's sake!

(I know this won't happen, because although I haven't watched S7 I accidentally spoiled the whole weeping angel business to myself, so yeah)

And lastly, this scene >>>

Do. Not. Fuck. With the roman.

I just love him.

That is all. Thanks for hearing me out, I feel better.

(@capinejghafa was the furthest back I could track these gifs, but I don't know if they were the one who made them).
