ONe Last RB To Have Your Lovely Concluding Thoughts On My Page :) You're Thoughts Are So Insightful And

ONe last RB to have your lovely concluding thoughts on my page :) You're thoughts are so insightful and your delivery is really respectful.

Ten is so terrible. That's why I love him so much. Totally agree about it not being anyone's obligation to fix ten, or anyone. Actually that's kind of why I wrote that long post about Donna's side of the relationship, because often I find that the female character's perspective in relationships is disregarded, so whenever I'm trying to flex my English lit obsession with regards to shipping I make an effort to examine what the female character gets from the relationship (in a 'is this healthy' way as well as how her narrative could be enhanced by the pairing.)

Part of what makes them so compatible imo is that a lot of the time that she’s being/doing what he needs is because it’s what she needs. She searches him out because she wants the excitement and adventure of life on the TARDIS, not because she’s looking for him because he needs her. She expresses concern that he’s still on his own, but I felt like the way she brought it up implied that it wasn’t the reason she was looking for him. She had her own motives, because the adventure was what she decided SHE wanted (ugh the queen). In Pompeii, she doesnt ask him to save someone because it’s what he needs. It’s because she needs it, and it turns out he needed it too. (Take courtesy of my mom lol love u mom)  I see people talking about how she is the Doctor’s equal, but it’s not brought out enough that he is her equal as well. Donna is so smart, talkative, creative, and driven, and he absolutely embraces that. She’s loud, rude, and brash and he appreciates it. I always got the impression that people around her treat her like she’s too much, but with him that’s just being on the same wavelength lol. They are wonderful friends, with so many common goals, and a lot of healthy compromise. They're also totally not perfect and that's another thing I love about them. They feel real to me, because of their bumps and bruises and stupidities and toxicities. Love them to bits.

I will admit it's fun to hate a character or ship sometimes, but not to make people feel bad. I try to tag my critical or anti stuff appropriately so that I can enjoy a good whinge, while making it hopefully easy for people who like that character/ship to avoid.

ALSO SORRY FOR THIS MONSTER POST

Hey random sorry but I love your account

THANK U SO MUCH!!!! I was looking at the tags u left on my Death and The Queen essay the other day and I was like !💖!

mad respect for the nine/rose content btw, they really were phenomenal. I try to be the change I want to see (read: shamelessly stanning tendonna) but I adored the relationship between rose and nine.

Okay okay okay I am having THOUGHTS again and I'm legitimately so angry and upset by how Donna's ending could have been so good without even fundamentally changing what actually happened (aka the memory wipe to save her life) if instead of her begging not to go her final interaction with Ten had been a CONVERSATION. Like yes I understand it would've been less sad or whatever but IMAGINE how powerful it would have been if she knows she's going to die, both of them know, Ten slowly goes to wipe her memory while she's still in tears, but she wraps her hands around his wrists to stop him. They stare at each other for a moment, and then Ten quietly says, "Please. Please, Donna, I can't let you die like this. I can't bear to be the one that kills you." And she studies him for a moment, searches, and then ever so gently nods. "Okay. I want to live. Just..leave me something??? Anything? Just to dream of?" And he's devestated as he replies simply "Donna..." And she's like "one little thing? You're the Doctor, you can do that, I know it." And he's agrees and you don't know if it's a comforting lie or not but then he wipes her memory and it's an act of love, of losing some of both of yourselves in order to stay alive, and it's more bitter than sweet but at least it's a decision they made together

fans of characters that hate vulnerability will be like “i cant wait until they cry 😍 cant wait until the weight of their emotions breaks them 😍”
