“Don’t worry because I’m going to fight them off.”

During the Nerd HQ “Conversations for a Cause” with Matt, Karen, and Arthur

I love this, so very very much.

Some people would say something sly and patronizing to this girl, and make all the grown-ups laugh. “Ohhh the weeping angels are sooo scary bla bla blah.” But Matt asks this young lady if she’s scared, and she’s honest, and he sees the seriousness in her - because she believes this stuff, it’s part of her universe! And he goes into that universe with her, and tells her the truth from her perspective. He doesn’t say “It’s all pretend, sweetie, there’s nothing to be scared of,” or “Those silly weeping angels can’t hurt you,” or “The Doctor’s got it covered,” or dismiss her in any way. He steps into her world, and promises her that she’ll be safe in a language that she understands.

In my opinion this is the dictionary definition of respecting someone else’s beliefs. You win, Matt. You win so damn hard.

merthuriscanon: see that face? thats the face of an old man who has traveled so long and so far that he pretty much forgot what a “family” was. he got Rose, he got Martha, he got Donna. they had to leave him, because they had to. but Amy and Rory? NOPE. those people made sure they stayed in his life, because Amy has known him all her life and calls him family. And Rory? He trusts the Doctor because the Doctor becomes his son-in-law, and because River becomes who she is because of him. “Family” to the Doctor is an unknown word. But at that moment, that perfect, brilliant moment on that cold, Christmas night on the Pond’s doorstep, the Doctor realised that he did have a family, but never knew it until Amy told him that they always have a place for him. ALWAYS. see that face? that’s the face of a man who finally realised that the people that step into his life never leave him. thats the face of a man who didn’t think he was important, because he had to leave people behind when it got too dangerous. that’s the face of man who has a home.
