This is beautiful and I'm crying and Rose Tyler, you know, just Rose Tyler and your words and when we're not factoring in her epic love with the Doctor her beginnings, that you've laid out here for the world to read and bow down to you over, are the things that fandom puts down the most, and this.
This is the perfect fuck you (that isn't even trying or wanting to be a fuck you, I'm sure, but). Because it doesn't try to inflate it, or her, or even them, barely touching on the turns their relationship will take even just a few hours after he comes back and she says yes. It lays it out just exactly how Rose Tyler's life was before she made her choice (a long time ago sdfjoklsjndfkldfg) in all of it's young uncertainty and hopeful glory and everyone, every single person who dares think a single mean thing about her because she worked in a shop and didn't throw the universe away for a boy she was never going to feel real passion for; who says 'chav' and makes jokes about peroxide, can read this and be ashamed.
And yes to everything, yes. I think they made each other better- the Doctor and Rose in the TARDIS- but he didn't make her great, he didn't invent her. Not even their love did that. She was good enough because she was always good enough, because we are good enough to go with the Doctor, because being ordinary is wonderful, because life is hard enough but we keep trying, we keep falling in love and asking questions; we are clever enough and brave enough, and that was the point. I always thought that was why Rose existed: because we look up, too.
