BUT MOFFAT IS SUCH A GoOD WRITER GUISE.

[cryptid-sighting]

I mean, how many companions can really pass this test?

Name one thing about Rose’s that doesn’t involve the Doctor, her mom, her dad, Mickey, or her job when she met the Doctor. I’m drawing a blank.

[lokiintheskywithdiamonds-blog]

When she was sixteen she dropped school and moved out because she was in love with Jimmy Stone, which resulted in her never getting her A-levels. He later broke her heart and she returned to live with Jackie.

Is that enough?

RTD may have his flaws when it comes to writing (nobody’s perfect anyway) but at least he made the effort to give us glimpses of the life the companions had before meeting the Doctor. Moffat doesn’t care because that’s obviously not that important.

[professorspork]

Rose got the bronze in an under-sevens gymnastics tournament; Rose’s best mate was named Shareen, and they used to skip school sometimes to go to the shops and look at boys; Rose loves chips and likes pizza and tolerates football; Rose has never learned French, though Jackie thinks she should’ve.

These are all things we learn within the first six episode of series one. And that’s not counting the remarkable depth and breadth provided when one fully incorporates her parents, which were restricted despite not being on Amy’s list. And you can say BUT THAT’S NOT FAIR, AMY DIDN’T HAVE PARENTS, but lol now she does and they’ve never explored how that changed her, and LOL PETE’S DEATH HAD A MASSIVE, VISCERAL EFFECT ON ROSE AND THE PLOT OF THE SHOW AND WAS MENTIONED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WAS EXPLORED AND IT’S A PART OF HER.

Rose’s life on the Powell Estate is more vividly rendered and thoroughly examined in just the Aliens of London/World War 3 two-parter than Leadworth has been in the two seasons we’ve known the Ponds. It’s not just Rose we learn about; we learn about her family in her absence, we see Mickey and Jackie interact and learn and grow together, painting a picture of their past and building a future, because they have a relationship COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT OF ROSE. We learn that Rose is the kind of person who knows exactly where things are in her boyfriend’s kitchen, even when he doesn’t, even when she hasn’t stepped foot in his flat in a (technical temporal) year. We get cut aways to the British *and American* newscasts of plot events, for chrissake. 

I mean, I’d make similar lists for Martha and Donna, or heck, even for any of the one-off guest companions from SINGLE EPISODES in Rusty’s era who’ve had more thoroughly-painted backstories than Amy Pond, but I’d give myself carpal tunnel and sacrifice several hours typing it all out.

The two showrunners are incomparable.

[allonsy10-deactivated20121204]

I was about to say the whole bronze under sevens thing but professor spork did a much better job. None of Moffat’s companions even compare. He just doesn’t flesh them out at all.

[whatfreshhellisthis-deactivated]

EXACTLY

I think I’m going to ask this post to marry me I love it so much

[flapjackstate]

[image: whovian confessions image of Amy Pond, with caption that says “a friend of mine once asked me if I could tell her anything about Amy’s life which doesn’t include the Doctor, Rory or the fact that she’s a kissogram. I could not answer”].

I’m not even a Doctor Who fan and I love this analysis.

[goldenheartedrose]

Reblogging this again. I like Amy as a character, for the potential of what she could be. But Moffat…well, he doesn’t make it easy to love her because though she is a strong, somewhat likable character, she is quite one dimensional. Her character revolves around Rory and the Doctor. I can’t name one thing she does exclusively for her. Unlike Martha, Rose, and Donna.

[fandomsandfeminism]

The worst thing to me is that there are really intense things that HAPPEN to Amy, things that should impact her, change her, shape her as a person, yet we only get to see those things in relation to the Doctor and Rory.

Take the single most horrific and vomit inducing storyline Moffat has given us as an example: Amy being kidnapped and held pregnant without her knowledge or consent for 9 months, having her child stolen from her, leaving her infertile and unable to ever bear a child and raise them. 

How does Amy feel about that? Did SHE want a family? Does she mourn the loss of this possibility in her life? Does she wake up having nightmares about her captivity? About what happened to Melody? Does she even want more children after what has happened to her, or does the idea of bringing another baby into the world after Melody terrify and sicken her? 

We don’t fucking know.

All we know is that RORY wanted kids and AMY feels bad that she can’t give RORY kids. That’s literally the only exploration of her feelings on this topic.

Y hiatus

Sorry for the inactivity. I just determined my plummeting follower count about a half a year ago as negatively affecting my self-worth. Plus, with series 8 completely mangling my beloved tolerant, independent, needs-no-man-to-be-awesome Clara, I just can't with the new stuff anymore. Plus there's only so much Ten/Rose you can post along with hardly ANY Series 7 Clara stuff, so blah.

I miss old Clara. Ask anyone in my costuming group; they'll all say she was annoying and horrible this series. She was not acting as she was in 7.2, and I personally think she's been Moffat-ized. Her romance with Danny was too quick and unbelievable (we see hardly any of it, especially anything that would draw them together romantically, and are supposed to root for them as a couple? Nope. Nopenopenope that is not a romance I (or anyone) can forgive her for for when she threw the TARDIS keys into the lava.) Total BS.

How does someone go "nuh uh, we'll time travel on Wednesdays so I can continue living my life, taking care of kids that aren't mine, being a strong person on my own" to "omg DANNY WHO I BARELY KNOW AND HAVE NO REAL REASON TO LIKE BRING HIM BACK DOCTOR I HATE YOU BTW IT'S TOTALLY OKAY IF YOU MOCK MY WEIGHT THAT'S NOT DEMEANING OR ANYTHING"? Moffat needs proof-reading, PLEASE. PLEASE. If not, then please eject her from the show before more damage can be done.

I miss Rose. I miss old Clara. It's too depressing.

If I might add: I DID try to participate in the fandom with Rose/Clara crossovers and Eleven/Clara fanart, but nobody seemed to like it, so I give up.
