Hey so

I discarded this because they ended up looking awkward and staged and stiff

But I realize my thasmin pals still deserve all the fanart they can get

So here you go ♥️

You know what? I'm gonna say it. As someone who is asexual and on the aromantic spectrum myself, I'm a bit tired of the Doctor Who fans who all say that Donna is the best companion of Ten's just because they were best friends and nothing more and that automatically makes her the best companion of RTD and for a lot of you, the best companion overall.

Listen, I LOVE Donna. Adore her. And I also think that her friendship with the Doctor is amazing. But it has always rubbed me the wrong way that the companions who have a romantic interest in the Doctor (and let me tell you, there is textual evidence for every one of them that the feelings were reciprocated in some way) are somehow considered lesser BECAUSE of that interest. That just because they fell for the Doctor means that their relationship with the Doctor is cheapened in some way.

I personally think that just as platonic relationships should not be considered lesser than romantic ones, the same goes in reverse. Amy, Clara, Martha, Rose, River, and Yaz's feelings may have some weak writing decisions attached to them, but so does Donna.

Personally, I love Donna's character arc/the tragedy of her ending, but I've always felt a little disappointed by the fact that her becoming the DoctorDonna in Journey's End was not predicated on her strong characterization/choices (Ala Planet of the Ood/Fires of Pompeii) but by "fate" pushing it to happen. It's honestly more Dalek Caan than Donna making all that happen.

This is NOT to say that I don't love Donna, but just to say that the fact that she had no romantic feelings for the Doctor doesn't automatically catapult her above the rest. Romantic feelings can lead to just as interesting, well-developed character arcs/complicated dynamics as platonic ones can, from the creator/created reciprocated question mark wanting but unable to choose each other over everything dynamic of 11amy to the fascinating destroying each other saving each other one taking all of the emotional toll but honestly craving that prophet-god relationship of 10martha to the shaping each other making each other kinder and braver reminding each other there is hope dooming and saving each other of 9rose to the full dooming each other but running straight at it full tilt because we are purposefully ignoring the turn back now signs of 10rose to the batshit insane codependent reflecting each other refracting each other who is Orpheus and who is Eurydice of 12clara to the there was always someone else in the room keeping us apart but you somehow became my whole world and I knew you from birth to death and we will never be anything more than a shut door of 13yaz to the you doomed me and saved me and you hate me but you might have loved me once and i will spend the rest of my life devoted to you dynamics of 10jack 11river and 12river.

Every relationship is interesting and personal preference might steer you in a certain way due the character arcs/ending preferences/etc., but elevating one over the other because the companion wasn't "foolish" enough to fall in love with the mad genderfluid alien in a box who ran away with you and stole you away to the stars doesn't sit well with me. Romance doesn't cheapen a relationship just as it doesn't automatically make it the ultimate relationship, either.

Thinking about Yaz maybe hoping for an I love you from the message 13 left in Survivors of the Flux ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

I saw something in the internet that made me think of this so...

Newho Doctors and their sexuality (headcanons)

Nine: aroace and just happy to be here

Ten: ace but the most romantic fucker there is, if it were for him he'll still be mopping about Rose. He's monogamous and jealous. (It's not his fault he's hot and everyone wants to snogg him) (pansexual)

Eleven: teenage boy who just discovered what sex is and is so down to it (also he's married to River and really happy about that). Into Clara but wouldn't be with a human because he's scared to lose them). Monogamous and really jealous. (Pansexual)

Twelve: demisexual and demiromantic idiot (not because of being demi but because he just is), has known River (his wife!!!) for more than a thousand years (or 4.5 billion years if you count that) and can't kiss his wife when they see each other again after so long because it's too soon (they still have 24 years). Has known the master since they were kids, been through so many lives together yet she's been on the vault for 75 years and it's still too soon, has kissed him and he doesn't reciprocate even though he loves her. Hates to be touched by everyfuckingone (though I believe that if he saw Donna again, she would be an exception). Polyamorous and somehow still jealous. (Pansexual)

Thirteen: fucking ball of sunshine (and repressed sadness) that loves everything and everyone and it's even more oblivious. Not averse to sex but doesn't really care (would sleep with River or Yaz if they wanted to but gets more excited by infodumping on them). Polyamorous and very happy about it, the more people there are to listen to her rambling, the best it is. (Panromantic and sex positive ace)

Fourteen: bisexual man in their fifties who's just afraid to date anyone ("He was, wasn't he? He was so hot"). Falls for every psycho they find. Only personhe woudn't fear to date is River and he woudn't be that much into sex even though he'll still enjoy it and would probably be the one to initiate it. In a queer platonic relationship with Donna. Polyamorous and not jealous (has to explain to River why the game -him being jealous and she enjoying it- is kinda ruined but he still loves her very much).

Fifteen: bisexual man slut, thrives on physical contact and "human" interaction, enjoys sex a lot and finds it a need. Always has an emotional connection even if it is a one night stand, the people he sleeps with really enjoy it too. Polyamorous, loyal to a fault, always offers informed consent: he's married, they're both poly, etc. River sometimes joins in. (Slightly hypersexual)

Don’t be an arse by dragging real people and/or throwing a fit over your fave winning. It’s annoying. And don’t forget “overrated” and “underrated” are ridiculously subjective terms. Everyone’s allowed to like and dislike whoever they feel like.
