DOCTOR WHO | The Husbands of River Song

[bobcatblahs]

It’s 3:10 am and I’m up with my chronic pain so you that means I’ve been thinking about my hyper fixation- Doctor Who.

I have cracked the code. I can explain the Doctor’s relationships in terms like he’s human.

First off- Rose.

Rose was the love of his life. She was it for him. She gave him everything, healed him, taught him to live again. So when he lost her- was for all intents and purposes was widowed… He went a bit nuts.

Which brings us to- River.

River was a friend. Then she was his wife? But… not like a planned and wanted wife (a marriage just to make a fixed point then the timeline was aborted).

So she was kinda like a friend he got drunk and married in Vegas.

Then there was- Clara.

Clara is the woman he’d marry who came into the relationship knowing she’d never be Rose and that her husband would likely be buried next to the first wife, but she loved him anyway.

Slightly unhealthy relationship but they match each other’s freak.

I won’t get into this spiral any further. But I’m right and I should say it.

Thanks for coming to my TARDIS talk.

Remember. This is if he was a human dude. Imagine that’s the same face in all the photos.

Idk who needs to hear this but it's completely fine to love a ship TO DEATH but seeing them as platonic. Like I know it's difficult to participate in the fandom cause people will be like "omg there's no way someone could think they're platonic" and similar sentiment but like you can do whatever you want all the time. Seeing these people as platonic NOT in a "they can't be gay" homophobic way (because this almost always happens with queer ships btw) is totally fine and I don't get why people who see them as romantic can't just mind their business and keep shipping them their own way. I'm here once again telling you platonic love isn't something less important than romantic love, it's just the way you personally approach it
