additional notes:

purplefringe: So, this vid kind of came into existence as a result of such_heights' Feelings about the Ponds and how awesome they are, and my Thoughts, which mostly went along the lines of "omg so much meta!!" Inspired by some particularly beautiful and insightful essays by elisi and goldenmoonrose, we decided to join forces to make a vid about the fairytale adventure that is Doctor Who, a journey of self-discovery down the rabbit hole, through the looking glass, into the wardrobe - a quest for identity throughout all of time and space. We also wanted to incorporate some of the most interesting symbolism from the show. And their faces. All their faces.

That... was beautiful. And Epic. With a captial E. I don't even have the words. Just... wow. I do want to say though I love how you guys didn't use any dialogue clips, just let the images speak for themselves. Very powerful stuff, and WeLL CHOSEN CLIPS. God this show is so beautiful, and you guys really showed that off in this, in the best of ways.
