BOWTIES: THEY ARE COOL.

[rogueslayer452]

I am so in love with Doctor Who right now, you guys have no idea.

Like okay, first let me explain. I was first introduced to DW with the Ninth Doctor, and since then I've been watching episodes, kind of sporadically but still enjoying it nonetheless. I go back and forth with certain fandoms so I sort of left DW alone for a while but still liked episodes that I managed to catch. But come Matt Smith and the Eleventh Doctor, I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THE SHOW. I LOVE EVERYTHING FROM THE CHARACTERS (AMY, RORY, RIVER AND THE DOCTOR) TO THE WIBBLY WOBBLY TIMEY WIMEY AND SPACEY WACEY-NESS OF IT ALL. JUST MARATHONED BOTH SERIES FIVE AND SERIES SIX AND THEY WERE BOTH AMAZING AND OMG I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL AND SERIES SEVEN.

ALSO. MATT SMITH IS ADORKABLE. AS IS KAREN GILLAN.

THIS HAS BEEN A DOCTOR WHO SQUEE POST. IF YOU WATCH PLEASE SQUEE WITH ME BECAUSE ASKDFJ;ALSFJD;LASFKD SHOWWWWW!

I maybe could've shipped 9/Rose if 9 had lasted more than a season because I felt a bit of the shippery chemistry there but it needed more development. I never shipped 10 with anyone, except maybe a random guest star here or there. And I LOVE when other people love Rose + Martha equally because SO many people think you have to choose between them and just...No, you don't!

None of those things make you a bad fan at all, but they definitely put you in the smaller minority as most Who fans count 10/Rose as their OTP and I'd say a good number of fans dislike at least one of the main companions.

I'm all for people shipping what they want. And I saw chemistry between Rose and both 9 and 10. It is just that I don't think the Doctor is suitable for long-term romances. I remember laughing in the episode where Sarah Jane said he spoiled her for other men because I was thinking that while he is an awesome man and awesome at what he does, when it comes to being boyfriend material, I just don't see it. And in fact, in that very episode she talks about how he never came back for her, and yet she still saw him as better than other men. Anyway,s basically, he isn't the settling down type in my mind.

Yeah, with 9/Rose, I saw it more as a passing thing than anything long-term. Whereas, I never really saw the romantic chemistry between 10/Rose, though they made a fantastic team. Tbh, there's only ever been one character I could see long-term potential with for any of the Doctors.
