I can never quite get over how much Nine tried to protect Rose. I don’t just mean keeping her out of physical danger, but also mentally and emotionally he tried to make her feel as safe and secure as possible by not letting on just how scary things truly were at times.
It hits me so hard every single time I see Nine’s demeanour change from “the delta wave is either not going to work or it’s going to wipe out the entirety of Earth along with it” to “Rose Tyler you’re a genius!” because in that moment he was clearly thinking about exactly how to break the news to Rose and he decided to lie and try to be as upbeat and enthusiastic as possible so she didn’t freak out and put herself in danger to help him. He put on a whole act, pretending that he had a plan and that all he needed was Rose to step into the TARDIS and wait for him, and he’s bouncing around and smiling the entire time.
And then he leaves the TARDIS, and the act drops immediately and it is one of THE most hard-hitting scenes in Doctor Who history, the way he just turns around and sends her home.
But also it’s when he regenerates and even though regenerating hurts because to him he still feels like he’s dying, he makes sure to crack jokes the entire time just so Rose feels comfortable and assured, and isn’t too scared by what’s happening in front of her.
Or it’s in Father’s Day when he knows the only way to save the planet is for Pete Tyler to die, but he tries desperately to find a different solution so Rose doesn’t have to go through seeing her dad die again, despite the fact that Nine and Rose had fallen out anyway because Rose had caused the entire mess in the first place.
Just... Nine protecting Rose from any emotional distress along with actual physical danger is exactly why their relationship is so so beautiful. Tenrose will always be my favourite pairing but I think ninerose is just as superior in its own way and I love it to death. Nine was so caring and compassionate towards her, even if he didn’t outwardly show it as much as Ten did. I would even go so far as to say that Nine was the most caring out of all the other Doctors. He was at his peak in emotional vulnerability, desperate not to be alone unlike post-Rose Ten, but hadn’t quite been worn down enough to switch off his feelings like Eleven. He just cared so much and GOD I miss Christopher Eccleston.

Okay I've warmed up to the s2 finale even without the almond coffee theory. If you asked me "do you want to fall in love with the enemy or work with God and do good in the world" I'd answer the same.
Aziraphale wanted so badly to have his cake and eat it too. To have what he has with Crowley but in Heaven, without all the second guessing and doubting. A "nicer" turn of events.
Because this is what finally convinced Aziraphale to take the offer. He was still asking The Metatron about having coffee before the mention of Crowley back to Angel status, and he immediately asks him what would happen to his bookshop after Crowley refuses to join him. Because without Crowley there, Heaven isn't all that worth it alone.
And then he immediately regrets that thought and goes "nothing at all". How could Heaven not be worth everything?

MY SCHOOL CAMPUS IS SO PRETTY IN THE WINTER OMGGG
Dennis keeping binders about his friends always makes me so sad cuz it appears controlling while it's actually just out of pure love. To Dennis, being known by someone else is what he desperately seeks and he offers that freely to the rest of the gang.
100% certain this scene is the reason Jeff went to therapy.
And honestly, Jeff wouldn't have listened to anyone else. Especially s1 Jeff who has a line telling Abed "why are we the only sane ones here". Because yeh, the other characters aren't necessarily better than him. To Jeff, someone else telling him that advice would have sounded condescending. But Abed doesn't pity him and doesn't shy away from saying it as it is. Abed is like hey Jeff that's alarming behavior and I care about you so you should seek a professional for that. And Jeff gets it. And actually follows through. He meant it when he said that Abed in this episode was his wake up call.
They're two sides of the same coin and Jeff finally sees that other side of the coin and goes oh I have the potential to be a good person...yeh I want that.
