Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because, because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun, and God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do, because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind. It's just that. Just kind. If I run away today, good people will die. If I stand and fight, some of them might live. Maybe not many, maybe not for long. Hey, you know, maybe there's no point in any of this at all, but it's the best I can do, so I'm going to do it. And I will stand here doing it till it kills me. You're going to die too, some day. How will that be? Have you thought about it? What would you die for? Who I am is where I stand. Where I stand, is where I fall. Stand with me. These people are terrified. Maybe we can help, a little. Why not, just at the end, just be kind?

[id: three gifs from doctor who and torchwood, focusing on the twelfth doctor, clara oswald, lady me, and jack harkness. the first gif shifts between the twelfth doctor talking to someone out of view, lady me talking to clara inside their tardis, and jack harkness laughing and then looking down. the text, “immortality isn’t living forever,” is transposed over it in white. the second gif shifts between the twelfth doctor, lady me, and jack talking to other people, all with a tired expression. the text, “that’s not what it feels like,” is transposed over the gif in white. the third gif is in black and white and shifts between clara dying on trap street, ashildr sobbing with the knowledge her children are dead, and jack, out of view, cradling ianto���s dying face. the text, “immortality is everyone else dying,” is transposed over the gifs in white. /end id]
i'm old enough to know that a longer life isn't always a better one. in the end, you just get tired. tired of the struggle, tired of losing everyone that matters to you, tired of watching everything turn to dust. if you live long enough, the only certainty left is that you'll end up alone.

8x01 “DEEP BREATH” || 9.X (CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 2015) “THE HUSBANDS OF RIVER SONG”
He's not here. God knows where he is right now, but I promise you, he's doing whatever the hell he wants and not giving a damn about me! And I'm just fine with that. When you love the Doctor, it's like loving the stars themselves. You don't expect a sunset to admire you back. And if I happen to find myself in danger, let me tell you, the Doctor is not stupid enough, or sentimental enough, and he is certainly not in love enough to find himself standing in it with me!
