random Amy Pond/newskool thought.

I'm not even sure how to articulate it, but there're probably spoilers through the end of s5, here.

It's incredibly annoying to know the... feel of what I want to write, but not have the words.

One of the things I see people talk about is Amy, and how the episode Amy's Choice is all about Amy choosing between two men, but I-- I never got that. It felt more like Amy needing to discover that she didn't have to choose at all, that either and everything were possible.

Of course, the episode also passed along the "Amy will die without Rory" bit, whether that's from co-dependence, love, or something else doesn't matter, in the end. It's there. And it was Amy's way of destroying one fairy tale world.

The other thing (I said I was feeling inarticulate), is that... I feel like the whole season was a fairy tale designed to show that you can have your adventures and your knight, and then... you can keep going on and having adventures. That limiting yourself to countryside and children is, well, not what you have to do (I'm not trying to say countryside and children are wrong choices are bad, but they're not for everyone).

That life itself is a choice, and if you choose one way or the other, it's up to you to make the adventure.

Which is why Rory had to get an adventuring spirit, so that he could move on with Amy and be Hex to her Ace, and learn to love adventure, too.

*reads back over* bah. This is why I don't meta when my brain isn't working.
