“She wasn’t doing a thing that I could see, except standing there leaning on the balcony railing, holding the universe together.”

— J. D. Salinger, “A Girl I Knew”

Oh, god, the Ten/Donna feels. The way that Donna thinks she’s nothing, thinks that she’s no one, and she’s everything, both to the universe and to the Doctor.

I imagine this is how he sees her.

not to hot take after pulling a sickie all-nighter again but i do think Doctor/Donna would be a more popular pairing if CTate was and had been a thin 20 to 30 year old. like, i feel like there's some unconscious dismissals happening thanks to her not fitting an expect 'type'

yeah yea 'best mates' and 'siblings energy' are valid reasons not to ship it, but like.... I shipped rose/nine like crazy, the chemistry was so good, but I then felt like ten/rose had 'best mates' and 'siblings' energy, yet the default reading of ten/rose is romantic while the default reading of Donna (and Martha lbr) got set to 'that's his FRIEND, it's never romantic' with a lot more people just. never bothering to look at it from another angle or try to see how anyone could want to see them together.

“Oh, come on!“
