Heh. It's 11:00pm and I start school again tomorrow. I should probably think about checking up on my schedule, eh? I'm pretty sure I haven't looked at it since I signed up for my courses last March. I hope they were good choices. XD
I think tonight was the first time I actually sat down and thought to myself: "Dear adorable yet highly intelligent self, if Rose's name is never mentioned on Doctor Who again, would you be able to cope?" And I answered: "Surprisingly, self, I very well may be able to cope, with only the occasional eye-twitch and tossing about of heavy objects. This is clearly important progress of some kind."
Don't get me wrong, I do think some part of me will always hope for a happy ending for the Doctor and Rose (and, yes, for me, that includes them ending up together), but. BUT - I also have to prepare myself for the very real possibility that S3 was about the Doctor moving on, and that Billie Piper is just not ever coming back. (*sooobbb*)
And... I'm okay with that. The show has to go on and how could anyone blame them for that? The most I have to hope for is that they don't contradict one of my favourite relationships ever. Plus, after how respectfully they treated the relationship in S3, it's alive and healthy in my little bubble. And I like my bubble! It has warm tea and chocolate. And fruity drinks! Mmmm.
I wasn't expecting the Doctor's grief for Rose to be as visceral as it was in S3. It cemented everything I saw between the Doctor and Rose in S1 and S2. Say what you will about the crazy in DW-fandom, but it's hard to stay completely uninfluenced when some factions are obsessed with telling you over and over again how NOT special, how NOT important Rose was to the Doctor. And... well, whether you believe Rose was the Doctor's love of his life or not, S3 made the depth of the Doctor's love for her fairly undeniable.
And unlike most shows, Doctor Who didn't pretend that Rose Tyler never existed or that she didn't leave a lasting impression on the Doctor. I'm just so satisfied by how the relationship was presented in canon, all the way from Rose right through to The Last of the Time Lords. So if Rose is never mentioned again? I'll be fine. It doesn't mean I'll "move on" or multi-ship or do whatever it is one is supposed to do in DW fandom (I'm a chronic OTPer! I can't help it!), but I will keep my little D/Rose ship warm and cuddly in my pocket. *pets*
That said, if Rose IS mentioned all the time in S4 like she was in S3, my squee will probably be audible on the other side of the world. Clearly, it will be a portent for a reunion to come! Ten/Rose time babiez!!!! Happy joy and puppies!
Also:
-This is my 999th post. It may be a while before I come up with something suitably awesome enough for 1000. Woe!
-Happy birthday sar_sunshine and marble_rose! And also late birthday wishes to sbertie and solielle. *smooooooch!*
ETA: 12:34am. Haven't checked my schedule. Haven't gone to bed. Have, however, put together my 1000 post. I am now worried for my sanity.
ETA2: "Labour Economics and Institutions - ECON 306D1." Why did I think THAT would be a good idea?! Oh, god. And it's a year-long course.
