Lost? (by glenrichards)

Momotarou, which can be translated as “peach boy” or “peach first son”, is a popular hero in Japanese folklore. 

The story goes like this:

There once was an elderly, childless couple who lived out in the country. One day, the wife was washing the clothes in the river when she came upon a large peach floating towards her. Well, the wife grabbed that peach and brought it back with her to the house. She and her husband decided to open the peach, to eat the flesh inside. And what do they find when they cut it open? A little boy! The child went on to tell them that he was sent from Heaven to be their son. They were overjoyed, and named him Momotarou.

Years pass by and Momotarou leaves his parents to go and fight this band of marauding oni’s (demons or ogres) on a distant island. While he’s on his way there, he happens to befriend a talking dog, monkey, and pheasant; who all agree to to help him on his quest. At the island, Momotarou and his talking animal friends are able to penetrate oni’s fort and literally beat those oni’s into surrendering! Momotarou and his friends return from the battle, with treasure and the oni leader as their captive. 

Momotarou returns home to his parents with all his spoils, and they all live comfortably from then on.

confession time: I was not a River Song fan. But she grew on me, and how could she not? Her plotline is so wrapped up in that of Amy and the Doctor’s storyline as well, she’s so integral to the story Moffat is telling. Moffat is a genius, by the way. His stories are so intricate and like crazy puzzles- he drops little hints at a time leaving you to be like what? What IS the Silence?? What is the universe’s ultimate question?
