// Hey, everyone! Guess who’s got a jam-packed weekend? This gal!

But, good news: I’ll be on for a bit as I write a paper (so I don’t have to do it later, y’know?) And, in the process, I found out a fun Whovian fact that I never knew while doing my homework for my film course!

Fun Fact!

The Tenth Doctor’s favorite French phrase, “Allons-y, Alonso!”, is not just something fun he came up with and a name he pulled out of nowhere--it’s actually an informal French phrase playing on the similar-sounding words, essentially translating into, “Let’s go, Daddy-o!”

Its most famous use is in the 1965 French film, Godard’s Pierrot le Fou, where it’s the catchphrase of the main character, Ferdinand.

So, in other words, not only is Ten a French language nerd, but he’s also a film nerd. Who knew!

okay we all did but this confirms my headcanon okay

Anyway. Fun fact aside, I’m gonna try and get going with this paper! I’ll see you again soon, everyone!

// Ooh, another Headcanon! Let’s see...

One of Ten’s guilty pleasures--dramatically singing along to 1990s boy band classics with companions.

Imagine: Ten and Donna singing this, using hairbrushes as microphones, passionately gesturing and using theatrical voices.

AIN’T NOTHING BUT A HEARTACHEAINT NOTHING BUT A MISTAKEI NEVER WANNA HEAR YOU SAYYYYI        WANT       IT       THAT     WAY

Anyway. I digress. Thanks so much for the ask!

// Hey there, Nonny!

A headcanon about Ten?

Hmm. on the topic of video games, I feel as if Ten would also eat up games like Pokemon. Gotta catch ‘em all!

The Pokemon Amie feature in the newer games would be his favorite!

Thanks for the ask, Nonny!

// Hello!

A headcanon about Ten?

He’d eat up Undertale, oh my goodness. He’d do a pacifist run, and try and get the true ending.

I know that because I just finished watching a playthrough for it right now c’:

Thanks for the ask, friend!

Headcanon: He keeps a teddy bear he's had since forever on his bed. It helps on the quiet empty nights in the TARDIS when he actually attempts to sleep.

// Ooh, nice headcanon!

Actually, I have a headcanon that’s similar, but with a Rovie plush instead! I’ve posted about Rover the Rovie here and here.

And, of course, here’s a GIF that fits, either way!

Thanks for the ask!

On top of that, it's not like Rose was a doe-eyed child. She doesn't seem at *all* like the type who would just go along with anyone. Someone like her, especially from her social class, seems like they'd be really street wise.

// I just realized that I forgot to reply to these this morning! Sorry for the wait, everyone.

This ask is in reply to a Break-Your-Muse anon that essentially said, “Rose was too young for The Doctor, and he’s a creeper.” Ten slammed the Anon (sorry Nonny!), but I, as the mun, agree that it’s a good way to get a reaction out of the muse, so kudos to the Anon for successfully doing that!

Cue some ramblings under the cut.

So, chainsofbitterness has a point here! Rose is not innocent. When Nine finds her, she’d moved out of the house once to live with a now-ex. She and her family are implied to be of a lower socio-economic status. Her father died at a young age, leaving her and Jackie to survive on their own. Rose is street-smart, and the world hasn’t been kind to her. So, “innocent” is one thing that Rose most certainly is not. But, the cruelty of her world didn’t make her unkind; a testament to her beauty as a person.

While IM-ing me, tomxhuck pointed out also that the age argument loses its validity when one realizes that, while Rose met The Doctor at 19--consenting adult age, even if she is still a teenager--by the time Nine becomes Ten, it’s implied that there’s at least been a year since their first meeting. To my knowledge, series 2 also took place over a year or so (though I may be incorrect about that also). This then puts her at 2 years of knowing The Doctor, meaning that she is 21 by the time she ends up at Bad Wolf Bay. So, in many countries, she has reached an age that many would consider emotionally and mentally mature.

Combined with the fact that humans age far faster than Gallifreyans (Morty compared it to “dog years”, and that’s an apt analogy), and she and The Doctor are, relatively speaking, not grossly far in physical and mental age.

So, that’s why Ten doesn’t feel as if their relationship is squicky. Thanks for the commentary, everyone!

I am suddenly imagining Ten doing impressions of Humphrey Bogart from Casablanca. No idea why, but i like it.

// Oh, he’d totally do that, while watching the film with Rose. :’D

[timeywimeyten]

TEN COMPLETELY DESTROYED THAT LAST ANON. OUUUUCCHH.

// As he said in the trainwreck that was Love and Monsters–”[I might be] sweet, maybe. Passionate, I suppose. But don’t ever mistake that for nice.”

If he’s angry enough, he’s vicious.
