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.

Posting these here now that they're all done :) Wanted to do some drawings for the short version of my zolu playlist, and was inspired by ao to make them postcard-sized. Did two versions of the last song since there were an uneven number of songs.

(Not organized sequentially / by timeline, just organized to make the playlist nice to listen to)

I've been active in the fandom for a very short amount of time but I have to say this:

If you think Ten holding onto Rose and mentioning her to his later companions was just RTD not wanting to let go of her you misunderstood the point of Ten's character.

I am neither defending how the show treated Martha nor am I saying that to some people it couldn't be frustrating. But it absolutely alines with Ten's character.

He was (as we like to repeatedly mention) born out of love for her. REALLY think about it. He EXISTS cause he loved her SO MUCH he died as Nine to save her and then turned himself into someone he felt she might be more attracted to. He's entire existence as Ten is FOR. ROSE.

And you can see that in season 2. He's more protective of her, shows more affection towards her. I mean, he told the fucking Devil she was his religion and was the only thing he believed in. When I say she was his everything I MEAN IT.

And then she was taken from him. And he did everything he could to talk to her one last time and she was gone forever. Imagine how DEVASTATING that was. To have all that stolen from you.

So it would be weirder if he never mentioned her again. His religion, his Fortuna, his reason for existing. He never moved on because he was created FOR HER.

So in conclusion - stop clowning.

If I believe in one thing, just one thing. I believe in her.

Dear fanfiction writers, according to Rose in the Christmas Invasion novel, the Doctor canonically smells like “[an] odd combination of chalk dust, boiled sweets, lime and diesel.” Do with this information what you will.

Absolutely losing all of my marbles over the Doctor being on drugs and just thinking “I like Rose” over and over again like it’s his default thought

i am literally always thinking about tenrose and how much they loved each other. he burnt up a sun just to say goodbye to her. she loved him so much it changed him as a being. he was literally never the same after her. she looked at him and said i am going to love you so much you will love you too. and he looked at her and said i love you so much and if someone as good as you can love someone like me maybe i am worth saving.

and they still had to let go of each other

Oh, but look. There’s still one word with the power that aches.
