Rose Tyler - Tumblr Posts - Page 4
The 10th doctor and "50 ways to say goodbye" by train
If I'd known that I'd grow up and some day want to draw a tardis on my hostel room wall, I would have learned how to draw a very long time ago 😂 nevertheless, here's my tardis ❤
I can't stress this enough.
Yeah, The Doctor saw Rose again. Ye, she got to live a life with him as a normal human.
He basically found her another him.
The Doctor, all of them after 9th love Rose. He loves Rose Tyler. Yet, he didn't stay with. HE gave her a different person. Someone who loves her equally.
I... I can't. The lonely god indeed. He can't stay with the one he loves. I'm gonna die.
Rose and River
I just watched "The Husbands of River Song".
Ohhhh boi
I really like their dynamic, and I also cried. Like, it was the end for her. She knows she might never see him again.
Anyway.
From all the people he traveled with, The Doctor was in love with 2 of them: Rose Tyler, as the 9th & 10th Doctor and River Song AKA Melody Pond, as 11th, 12th & 13th (I think). They never crossed. And I thought about an interaction between them.
So, another timey-wimey thing, the universe collapses etc., and there's two Doctors again. Doesn't matter which one, but let's say it was after Rose was left with half Doctor half Donna. Just before the goodbyes. And on a Date of the Doctor & River. Doo we doooo ~~
The Doctors: Oh, this isn't good. Not good. Physically- pimisically, timey-wimey, spacy-wacy...
River: Hol up, you're Rose Tyler?
Rose: .. Yeah, and you are? How do you know me?
River: Oh! I'm from the future. Well, considering we were technically in the past... I'm from the Doctor's future.
Rose: That's nice. Does he talk about me?
River: Not much. But the TARDIS does. She loved you dearly.
Rose: :D
Rose: How did you two meet?
River: Oh, I'm kind off.. A daughter of one of his future companions.
Rose: Okaaay
River: And part Time Lord, since I was conceived on the TARDIS.
Rose: That's - wierd. But ok -
River: AndI'mTachnicallyHisWife.
Rose: Sorry?
River: Weeeeell.. I know there was a thing between you two and you loved each other but under the circumstances of the time we were in -
Rose: Good Lord I'm so thankful he has someone after I'm gone!
River: ...
Rose: Do you hit him when he does the -
River: Oh sure I do. Did he ever -
Rose: Oh yeah he did!
The Doctors: *Sees his wife and girlfriend laugh and get along* That can't be good.
I Just can't imagine them being anything else than buddy-buddy with each other and completely pissing him off. Just, girlfriend and wife of the Doctor! I really want an episode like that.
Finally somebody says it
Holds casual Dr who fans by the shoulders. Hey did you know that the doctor isn’t a usually a good person with other people’s interests at heart? Did you know that? Did you know they do terrible things for that they believe to be the greater good all the time? That they aren’t a good person?????
My top 5 Doctor Who Episodes; And why!
DOCTOR WHO SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT!! I say the season and episode before I start analyzing, so feel free to skip some.
5. Vincent and the Doctor [5x10]
This episode was so touching to me on many different levels. Firstly, as a creative person who deals with mental health and ostracization, seeing a version of Vincent Van Gogh on screen felt almost healing. Acknowledging the hurt he experienced while not ignoring his joys was very special. On a technical level, the way that the episode visualized a way Vincent Van Gogh may have seen the world was incredibly eye opening and better allowed me to appreciate his art. Furthermore, the confusion Amy experienced during the episode regarding her memory was such an experience for two reasons; Firstly, it proved to us, the audience, how much she has grown to love Rory. Before, she was dating him because he was the only half-decent guy around. But, after learning more about him and spending more time with him, she is truly in love with him and this episode gives proof of that. Secondly, I experience dissociative fugue, wherein I may forget large aspects of my life, and this episode was so comforting regarding that experience. Yes, sometimes there are things you can't remember that make you happy or sad. You should embrace the feelings rather than ignore them or feel scared. And, finally, the moment where Vincent Van Gogh is able to see what the future of his art holds is a touching moment; and I like that it didn't save him in the end. Like the Doctor said, “The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't always spoil the good things or make them unimportant.”
4. The Husbands of River Song [2015 Christmas Special]
I looked forward to finally watching this episode for so long leading up to it because I had heard such flattering things about it; and it didn't disappoint. After many episodes that felt lacking or one dimensional, this special brought back an element of camp, humor, and fun that had been missing, all the while including beloved characters and dramatic sequences. Allowing the Doctor an opportunity to see how one of his companions, especially River, acts when he is not around gives the audience so much more insight into her character and the Doctor a chance to learn and grow. Asking her about himself and learning that, although she may be worried or grieving, she finds these feelings worth it just to keep loving him. Considering how much River puts a mask on around 11 to not show her age and sadden him, it was refreshing to see a new side of her. Not to mention, the storyline for the special was interesting and compelling without being overwhelming in a way that took away from the characters. Although it's unlikely that the Doctor doubted River's feelings for him, this episode gave ultimate proof regarding how much she cares about him. Unfortunately, it also showcases how little River thinks of herself in relation to the Doctor. And, yet, there 12 is to prove her wrong when it mattered. Best of both worlds! Finally, the tenderness mixed with grief and understanding that we end the special with is such a perfect conclusion to River's story with the Doctor as it reflects their whole saga together perfectly. River's argument to the Doctor that, "Happily ever after doesn't mean forever, it just means time." was so special and the Doctor finally allowing himself to settle down (if only for a little bit) was exactly the kind of growth the character needed.
3. Wild Blue Yonder [2nd 2023 David Tennent Special]
I watched this episode yesterday and by gods it quickly skyrocketed to one of my favorites, where do I even start. Within the first few minutes of the episode, we are given many similarities and differences when comparing this Doctor and Donna adventure to their previous excursions. While they still compliment each other well, offering understanding and push-back, it is also clear the ways they have matured. Donna seems more in touch with her emotions and how she is truly feeling. When we first met her, she had a lot of anger and frustration within her from constantly being scrutinized and ignored. Now, we can see she is more peaceful and secure, even if below the surface some hesitation still lingers. Whereas, in the Doctor's case, he is so much more open to affection and vulnerability. The lessons he learned as 11 and 13 showed him that he could trust others, even if it is slowly. Although he is still trying to ignore or repress many things that have happened to him, he is at peace with them more than he was as 10. They both are less rageful. So, from a literary standpoint, just the beginning of this episode was wonderful. The classic "TARDIS fucks off somewhere leaving the company stranded" and "Doctor loses his sonic screwdriver and doesn't know what to do with himself for a bit" tropes came back swinging, and the way it affected the duo was wonderful to watch. The reality of the situation wasn't quickly swept under the rug or ignored because of a bigger problem, they got to sit in their fear for a while which was beautiful. The slow realization throughout the episode as if the audience is figuring out the answer at the same time as the Doctor just felt satisfying. Small, seemingly disconnected things coming together to form a compelling mystery. And, because it takes so long to give us the answer, we feel the carnal fear of the unknown just like the Doctor and Donna. I was tense when I realized they weren't talking to each other, but copies. I was scared when they were separated. And, the best part of the whole fucking episode, I didn't know who was who. That was terrifying! Up until the last second, I thought the Doctor had made the right choice, too! It kept me on the edge of my seat, informed me so much about the characters, explored a terrifying "what if" in a way only sci-fi can replicate, and was silly as hell. Loved every second. Also, the little robot guy was cute as hell.
2. Heaven Sent [9x11]
Explodes everywhere I love 12. This Doctor is characterized as a less nice, but still very kind regeneration. He holds so many conflicting feelings regarding the loss of the Ponds, his changing relationship with Clara, his perception of himself. I loved how he acted in his episodes. as socially confused, because it felt very familiar to me. The way his brain always seemed too loud and his loner energy was such a switch-up compared to 11. and yet so in character all the same. This episode carried this perfect essence of Doctor Who that felt lost in the majority of the last couple seasons. An entire episode where the Doctor is alone, and grieving, and loving, and problem-solving all at the same time was so compelling. Although it is clear I am more of a fan of episodes that focus on the characters and not the current storyline, this story was enthralling even if it took away from character moments sometimes. Do I wish we had more chances at the beginning/middle of the episode to properly address or reminisce about Clara? Yes. But, after watching the whole episode, it is clear why it was done. The setting for Heaven Sent was so intriguing, and the whole episode we are just wondering as much as the Doctor is; Why? Why is he being chased, why was he brought here, why are there shovels? It reeled us in. And then, once we realize the torture he is putting himself through, the dramatics, character information, and emotion we are given is so heart-wrenching. Evidently, Clara gave the Doctor a comfort greater and worth more than 5 billion years of torture. Could you imagine that? The depth of his love for Clara is given so much of a spotlight in this episode, and I am frothing at the mouth for it. Especially considering how they may frustrate or hurt each other, they still know each other. They help each other. And goddammit, he is not going to let her go. But, this stubbornness isn't necessarily a good thing. One important thing about loving someone is knowing when to let them go. This love for Clara was selfish the same way her love was for him in these intense moments where they sacrifice themselves for each other. They were doing it to prove something to themselves, to get the other back because they couldn't accept they were gone, not because it would be a better existence for the one in danger. Clara didn't want to be saved, she was being brave. And this imperfect grief the Doctor experiences was so achingly realistic. When I lost my cousin, it was so hard to accept. I wanted to ignore it, I wanted to be angry, I wanted him back. But, in the end, it was his time. This journey the Doctor goes on regarding yet another loss felt so powerful. He was forced to feel this and it hurt, he couldn't just try and quickly forget about it or sulk on his own terms. At the same time, the revelations he comes to throughout the episode were so reassuring to hear someone outside of my own head say. "It’s funny. The day you lose someone isn’t the worst. At least you’ve got something to do. It’s all the days they stay dead."
Turn Left [4x11]
This comes as a surprise to no one as someone who has been PREACHING character > story. This episode, while being a perfect set up for the finale, tells us so fucking much about the Doctor and, more importantly, ABOUT DONNA! Without Donna, there's no Doctor. Without the Doctor, everything goes to shit! Seeing as we, the audience, are usually seeing the universe by following the Doctor, a companion-focused episode was so refreshing. We got to learn so much about who Donna is, what her life back home was like before we met her, and gave realistic consequences to her actions. FUCK YEAH! It felt grounded, it felt interesting. I also adore the theory that every action we take splits us off into a new universe or timeline, so this episode was so perfect for me. DONNA'S INTERACTIONS WITH ROSE!!! Their comradery and understanding, the way Rose takes Donna under her wing, a moment where we see them as real people without the Doctor intervening or affecting the discussion. The importance of Donna to the universe being made so clear. WILF'S FLASHBACKS!! It's been forever since I saw this episode, but it is so rewatchable and makes me so interested every. single. time. The end of the episode is bone-chilling, with her literally killing herself to save the universe. And then!! The Doctor being out of the loop for once and understanding the severity of the situation with the return of the Bad Wolf. Explodes everywhere, words do not do justice the pure love, respect, and admiration I have for this episode and every actor, producer, tech person, writer, involved. Thank you GODS for this episode, I love you turn left. This lesson that every single person is indispensable and important sets up that conversation in later seasons and eventually becomes the main reoccurring theme of the show. Every Donna Noble, Rose Tyler, and Martha Jones of the universe is important and loved and unique and dbiubibjbjbgiufgbfgu you get me?
Honorable mentions:
The Parting of Ways [1x13]
The first finale of new who, and it was so gooooood!! Tied up the Bad Wolf hints, gave interesting endings to the TARDIS crew, told us so much about the ninth doctor, gave us confirmed ninerose, had a compelling storyline behind it, and just a classic good episode to go back to.
Tooth and Claw [2x2]
I know I've been mostly talking about the character implications of my favorite episodes, but this one was just interesting and fun. I loved the dynamic between the Doctor and Rose, the adventure, the silliness, the royal family being involved. Just a good, well-paced, wonderful episode.
The God Complex [6x11]
This episode was so yummy. While I was watching 11's seasons, I did get the vibe that Amy looked up and admired the Doctor in an unhealthy way and I loved how this episode addressed this. The idea that this thing was taking the forms of people's worst fears, the mystery of what the Doctor saw, the interesting characters, the understanding on what a God Complex actually was, its wonderful!!
The Timeless Children [12x10]
This may be controversial and I don't care!! I loved the way this episode was structured. I was confused and interested the whole time and when it fell into place I actually had to pause and pace around because OH MY GODS!!! it was a well-done reveal that had such interesting implications and I believe every reaction was in character and made sense. At first, I was upset about the loss of the former perception of the Doctor; Just a regular ol' guy who decided to act out and, above all, be kind. Suddenly, she was from another universe and was the original timelord and i was a little sad. But, the way it has been handled after feels so fitting, and it puts the rest of the show into perspective. All of the confusing things that set the Doctor apart from the others, it made sense now! I loved this episode, I thought it was a great.
The Village of the Angels [13x4]
I LOVED THE FLUX!! getting to have a old-school style season wherein the who season was just one problem was so cool and allowed for so much information! This episode specifically was so compelling. I loved the Professor Jericho; was SUCH a great addition to the TARDIS crew, and the way the handled the angels was arguably better than Time of Angels + Flesh and Stone. They were terrifying, the mystery was intriguing, and the characters were interesting!!! The only difficult part of this episode was keeping track of who was who as someone who has difficulty recognizing faces. Besides that, I fucking loved The Village of the Angels.
Casually thinking where Tentoo/Corin and Rose are now in the parallel universe. I reckon they got married, had children, Rose still works for Torchwood and Corin got a job as a teacher or he's still somehow Torchwood's scientific adviser.
*Ten and Rose staring at each other intensely like they're about to kiss*
Ten: You have a spot on your nose
Rose: .....
Every Doctor Who Story → Tooth and Claw
"I don't know what you are, the two of you, or where you're from, but I know that you consort with stars and magic and think it fun. But your world is steeped in terror and blasphemy and death, and I will not allow it. You will leave these shores and you will reflect, I hope, on how you came to stray so far from all that is good, and how much longer you may survive this terrible life."
*Ten and Rose staring at each other intensely like they're about to kiss*
Ten: You have a spot on your nose
Rose: .....
My toxic trait as a doctor who fan is thinking that everything is about Rose Tyler. But it’s okay cause i’m right.
9 regenerating into a version of himself that was literally what he thought roses exact type was will forever be so beautiful and sad like he changed for her, so she would be with a younger, more care free, flirtatious version of him even though she already loved him
I just can't get over the idea of Rose staying with the doctor, and, I feel like Ten would be a lot less worried about his inevitable regeneration if she was around, just because she'd been though one before and stayed with him so maybe he wouldn't feel like it wasn't such a loss, just a change, but more I just keep picturing Rose's initial reaction, like he's just regenerated, the Tardis is crashing, she's trying to pilot while he's like
"Still got leg! And arms!"
"That's nice love, could use a little help here though!"
"Still not ginger! Rose can you believe this!?"
"We'll get some box dye if we survive the landing yeah!?"
And then they're both laughing, running around trying to not crash, and of course they still do, and they end up in the pool of course. Rose gets her first proper look at him as she breaks the water's surface, and the first thing she says is "oh my god!"
And he's panicked for a second, dispise her big bright smile, still sloshing in the water, his hands reach for his face- eyes, nose, it all feels there, Gallifreyen as always- "blimey I've got a chin, don't I!?"
And then Rose is laughing, pulling him close and she says "you're so cute!!" With e most delighted voice. And then she's peppering his face with kisses and giggling and he's wrapping his arms around her to keep them afloat, and he really has to say, as reaction to his regenerations go, this might just rank at the top.
Might have to do it more offten- well no. Actually, can't do it again. Oh he's gonna ahe to bring that up at some point...
And I really just imagine Rose being smitten and flirty and just happy with Eleven in a way she wasn't with Ten, not untill the very end anyway, because she finally can be, they're together, and they're together and everything going right.
And she's so relieved that she feels this way after his regeneration. She'd been afraid it would be different than last night, even though she knew it was coming and she knew what would happen.
But here he is, a whole new man. But he's bouncy and excitable, and that's not new. Even if it is dialed up 10 fold, she finds as they wreck miss Amial Ponds kitchen. She asks if he wants a setsuma, and while Amelia doesn't have any, it does get a laugh from them, and curious look from Amelia as she offers them an apple with a little smiley on it.
Then, he's off up the stairs and helping a little girl scared of monster, just like the old him, and the old old him, all still him, always.
And then I just imagine he's getting dressed in the hospital, he sends Rose and the Ponds up to the roof. And Rose is the one holding the Atraxi's attention with the whole "is it defended!?"
And it goes threw the holographic montage of the doctors faces, faces Rose has seen and ones she hasn't, and she's supised to find the imagines of 9 and 10 have her right next to them, and even in between. For just a moment, theres the Bad Wolf, but just as the last face is fading, her most familiar face, some one steps up next to her, and pulls her fowards with them by an arm her waste. They step though the hologram and face the atraxi.
"Hello! I'm the Doctor, this is Rose Tyler. Basically, run."
And then they're do and he turns to Rose, adjusting the bowtie with a "What do you think? New new new face, new new new threads... yeah okay never saying that again, either, fine."
To which Rose responds by runs her fingers through his hair and pulls him in for another kiss. "I think you're bowtie's very cute!" She says, pulling away.
"Cute!? Cute!? I will have you know Rose Tyler, bowties are cool!"
Which just starts a running gag of, any time some one comments on the bow tie, and he starts to says "bowties are coo-" Rose interrupts, with an equal level of offense to say "bowties are cute!"
Anyway what I'm saying is ths rose/eleven dynamic would absolutely be a boss bitch and her babygirl in absolute, besotted, puppy love, having the time of their lives across time and space and I'll heard nothing against it
I do not ship btw, op however, I can't speak for
