Rose Tyler was poor. She didn't finish her A-levels, she lived in government housing, she worked a shitty retail job with no hope of college or university on the horizon, she was 300% what her classist society would view as trashy; thick mascara, dark roots, the whole nine yards.
But she was the most important woman in the universe to the Doctor, to so many she impacted; beautiful, brilliant, adored. She was the love of his live(s), and so, so many who met her were touched in some way just because she was herself, and because her conviction, her love, and her compassion were so powerful that they radiated across universes, throughout time, and changed everything, over and over again.
And I know all of this has been said so many times, for almost twenty years now, but Rose, I think you will always be my favorite fictional woman of all time.
"average doctor has no fear of what killed their previous incarnation" factoid actualy just statistical error. average doctor is terrified of what killed their previous incarnation. Fours Georg, who lives in rocks & is scared shitless of heights, the thing that will kill him, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
all that said, the circumstances of regeneration shape an incarnation and romana ii was born out of suicide (self-sacrifice, if gallifrey is to be believed). so. you know. lives shaped by suicide inevitably driven by and towards that act is it any wonder she's messed up if her first incarnation viewed suicide as a game and the second spent twenty years waiting to die
Love that fifteen is a swearer let it out king you deserve to say shit every now and then. As a treat
regeneration is like if "died and came back wrong" was a normal and regular feature of a society
yeah we put your girl in the fandom and they villainized her beyond comprehension. yeah sorry they took out all the nuance and made the argument completely black and white. yeah my bad. we can’t reverse it. sorry.
Otherwise it resembled a forgotten shrine to some barely remembered god, buried in a lost holy place.
honestly kinda obsessed by this description of the tardis (which goes on to describe the console as looking like an altar)
average doctor who poll: who would be the greatest serial killer? innocent classic who companion or well-known nuwho side character who happens to own a knife? every single reblog is #innocent classic who companion literally #becomes a serial killer in their spinoff series I Am Become A Serial Killer #which clearly none of you have read or you wouldn't be voting nuwho. nuwho side character is winning by a 68% margin
they got technology for building custom-made stars to use as an unlimited energy source AND it comes in the form of a semi-sentient box?? like the hand of omega??? you know what that means. thats right baby series 14 full feature-length Lungbarrow adaptation
Doctor Who + text posts
