Description
A River Song collage. The character of River Song shares striking similarities with Persephone (taken from her mother as a child, dragged into the underworld, married life divided into her nights out with her husband and her days in prison), Eurydice (whose brutal loss will drive the hero into retirement from the world, the descent into Hell/Trenzalore, the last look and the inevitable fading away), as well as becomes death's bringer, multiple times, in the show. The bottom line is River fits the Death in bride's clothing to a tee and I love making collages.Original painting: Death the Bride by Thomas Cooper Gotch

This is amazing. And she fits it so beautifully. Alex herself has commented that she thinks she has a "historical" type look, and had worried she'd always be cast in historical type roles.
Which is one reason why I'm so glad she got to play futuristic River. (And to remind us, that even in today, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.)
This fit her so beautifully and is integrated so smoothly I had to look twice to realize it was her.

Thank you very much! These collages are always fun to make, particularly finding a painting that fits a certain character; I am glad it worked here.
Alex Kingston has far too much spirit and spark to be confined to historical roles! But she also played one of the most historical fictional characters to date, River Song, so...

J'adore les analyses que tu fais à chaque fois ! Elles sont excellentes.

Merci beaucoup! C'est ce qui m'a intriguée dans la série au premier abord: l'analyse thématique. La série regorge de parallèles et de métaphores, en particulier depuis que Moffat a pris les rênes. C'en est étourdissant! Je devrais me forcer à papoter davantage dans la description, parce que j'ai généralement pas mal de choses à dire en terme de meta ou de headcanon.
