I have a non-Tumblr blog and that's where the majority of my long-form posts go. This blog is for my more fannish activities, link sharing, and squeeness.

I recently decided to start a cosplay as Rose. Since her attire is so modern compared to my previous character cosplays, I can wear it in public and get away with it. If I’m having a particularly bad day and get agoraphobic, I put on my pink shirt and blue jacket and suddenly I feel like I can go anywhere and do anything. The best part is no one’s recognized that it’s a cosplay yet. It’s incredible how much happier in life this tactic has made me!
I really hated The Girl in the Fireplace, but I don’t think I would have if it were in a different series. The second series of Doctor Who was all about the Doctor and Rose growing closer together before being ripped apart, and for him to have this random fling in the middle of that with absolutely no consequences seemed out of character and out of place.
RIGHT. Thank you, anon. Thank you.
Amy: Where’s the Dalek?
River: It died.

I realize this is probably going to get a swarm of angry replies, but it just doesn’t feel to me like Eleven and River have the chemistry and relationship we’re told they do. So much about their relationship feels really uncomfortable, and the fact that they’re apparently married feels as contrived as badly characterized fanfiction does to me. I love them both as characters, but I just don’t buy the two of them together.
All the love for this anon’s truth. ALL THE LOVE.
I found this small article in The Big Issue, in an interview with Russell T Davids.
Just imagine
If this had happened.

*Makes inhuman noises* AHHHHHHHH!!!

- Rose: falls in love with Doctor
- Fandom: omggg guys i ship them soo hard! My OTP 5everrr
- Martha: falls in love with Doctor
- Fandom: back the fuck off, bitch
- Donna: sasses Doctor
- Fandom: I love Donna so much, I mean how can you not love her, though? she just feeds it to the Doctor
- Martha: sasses Doctor
- Fandom: shut the fuck up, Martha. No one cares what you think, and the Doctor's not gonna listen to you.
- Amy: is engaged. Forces Doctor up against the wall and kisses him.
- Fandom: still loves Amy
- Martha: is single. Doctor grabs her face and tongue kisses her. She knows nothing about Rose at this point.
- Fandom: eww Martha who the hell do you think you are kissing Rose's man?
- Rose: has boyfriend and mom help her open the heart of the TARDIS. She looks inside, and the TARDIS's soul or whatever saves the Doctor in like ten minutes.
- Fandom: wow, Rose, you go girl, such a BAMF!
- Martha: Walks a post apocalyptic earth by herself for an entire year while the Doctor and everyone she loves is being tortured by an evil dictator. Uses no superhuman powers to save Doctor, family, and entire world.
- Fandom: ehhh, she's okayyy I guesss.
- Rose: wants to stay with the Doctor no matter what even though she may never see her family ever again. Her mother is crying for her. At this point, they do not think they will ever be able to communicate with her ever again.
- Fandom: omgg i ship them sooo hard, guise! She's so loyal.
- Martha: leaves the Doctor to take care of her family because they need her. Knows for sure she will see the Doctor again. Gives him her mobile so she can make sure it happens. Makes him promise it will happen.
- Fandom: what the hell? You're not companion material if you're giving up on the adventure and on the Doctor. He needs someone, you selfish bitch, and you just abandon him.
- Martha: Works as a maid in pre-WWI England in order to protect the Doctor's identity from the Family of Blood. Has to deal with constant racist and sexist comments from little shits in a posh boarding school. Is constantly put down because of her skin color. Save the town and the world by getting John Smith to "die" in order for the Doctor to live. Oh, and she saved most of the town when she grab the Mother, which allowed some of the folks to leave.
- Fandom: I don't care. How great is Nurse Redfern?!?!?
- Martha: Takes offense when The Doctor insults her intelligence, belittling her in comparison to a woman she has no background information on, one episode after she gives her last breath to save his life.
- Fandom: MARTHA YOU ARE SUCH A WHINY BITCH! OMG HE MENTIONED ROSE! MY FEELS!
I think that certain people in this fandom have a bad habit of criticizing female characters way more harshly than male ones, for the exact same things. They have huge double standards, and it’s sad that no one seems to notice or care.
