Holy Post Expert, Batman!

One of those Tumblr 2013 people back online

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.

and another thing. I want the doctor to be absolutely furious when they discover they’ve regenerated into rose. I want to doctor to be haunted and horrified by looking in the mirror and seeing her face. If the doctor looks in the mirror and is happy to see roses face looking back at them so help me god I will hunt rtd down myself

Hoping it was like, a Rose accidentally switched places with the Doctor situation and not a real regeneration

RTD. Babe. Sweetheart. What are you doing?

If you insist on bringing back David Tennant and Billie Piper for nostalgia bait—like the BBC is holding your family hostage until you wring every last drop out of your first run—fine. But why, in the name of Rassilon’s bad decisions, must it always be through regeneration nonsense?

You’ve got a perfectly good, prepackaged, emotionally traumatic alt-universe trapped versions of them! Rose and Tentoo are RIGHT THERE.

You’re already knee-deep in pantheon drama and multiverse shenanigans. Canon fell down the stairs several seasons ago. Don’t start pretending you care about continuity now.

And if you’re absolutely determined to give the Doctor a surprise part-human-part-timelord daughter, may I just scream into the void that MIA TYLER EXISTS. She is RIGHT THERE. Tentoo and Rose already did the homework. You don’t need to scribble over the margins in crayon.

You’ve got the lore. You’ve got the actors. You’ve clearly lost your fear of god or consequences. Just commit.

This image, that’s it, that’s the post

me during every episode of doctor who ever produced

[queeenpersephone]

honestly the power and influence of billie piper playing rose tyler. she had both chris eccleston and david tennant wrapped around her finger. her chemistry with both of them is to this day insane. the other actors in doctor who long after her bring her up in conversation and she continues to be brought up in the show. on a zoom reunion, she was snatched up as ‘companion you’d want to travel with’ instantly. she’s an ordinary girl but there’s no one like her. her arc is so good that they regularly try to recreate or deconstruct it. some of the episodes she’s in are terrible but it doesn’t matter. the doctor loves her so much it both saved him and killed him. multiple times. she lives rent free in every doctor who fan’s mind. love her, hate her, or indifferent to her, she’s the basis for comparison. she’s at the tip of the tongue of people who gush about the show and people who complain. billie piper still affirms her unpopular (correct) opinions about rose and the doctor. she was the consistency, the heart, and she redefined the entire fandom.

god nine was so fucking in love with rose. "i'm so glad i met you." "i could save the world but lose you." dancing with her and not realizing they'd been teleported because he was so besotted. "i only take the best. i've got rose." hating literally every other man she so much as glanced at. i am fully convinced that nine had so little self control when it came to his love for her, and if he had not regenerated he would have acted on it a thousand percent. i main tenrose but ninerose hits so different. i absolutely love them

[aroseinthetardis]

He was STUNNED at how beautiful she looked during The Unquiet Death... WHICH IS EPISODE 3. THREE. T H R E E.

He was so stunned that he blirted out a compliment before he could think better of it and tame it down with a "for a human" comment.

He barely repressed how jealous he was with all of Rose's crushes!-- and look at his satisfied smirk when Adam faints and just KNOWS that killed Rose's feelings for Adam and thus he is once again the only one.

He would have ABSOLUTELY acted on it if he was sure of Rose's feelings were reciprocated and had more time!!!

Nine would be shocked to see Ten's hesitation tbh

And just like that, the doctor who fandom has risen once again

Something I always think about is how being a bleeding heart hippy-dippy do-gooder is actually completely aligned with being a cold, calculating "facts dont care about your feelings" person.

Like actually caring for and accommodating everybody, preserving the environment and natural resources, prioritizing human beings over profit margins, and just generally being nice! All these things are actually in your best interest! All these things lead to better productivity, stability and security! From a totally self-centered, selfish view of the world and your fellow humans, you should still land here if you actually are cold and calculating like you claim.

Cruelty and disregard for other people leads to all kinds of wasted resources and inefficient practices, it leads to volatility and unforeseen consequences! Like i realize that the person who claims to be "cold and logical" is actually anything but, it just drives me crazy how people seem to think there are material benefits to that rationale when the opposite is true

I don’t get why so many people don’t seem to understand that Maomao doesn’t dislike Jinshi himself, but rather his eunuch persona. Everytime she catches a glimpse of his real self, she likes what she sees.

Why do you think Jinshi wants to tell her who he really is? It’s because he wants to let her in. He wants to be himself around her because he loves her and wants Maomao to love HIM back.

Tired: The Billie Piper Doctor should meet 14. Wired: The Billie Piper Doctor should meet Jackie Tyler, who absolutely hits the roof that the Doctor’s stolen her daughter’s face.

The year is 2056. The 30th doctor is David Tennant. He took over from David Tennant. His companion is played by David Tennant. The villain is David Tennant as David Tennant. The showrunner is David Tennant. You hear a knock on the door. It's David Tennant. He gives you a pocket watch. You open it and remember who you are. You were David Tennant all along.
