laaaaaaaaaaate commentary for savagestime: spoiler warning (the Doctor is Peter Pan)

[shewalks_away]

Just a warning, this started as a commentary, and it quickly veered into something closer to a character essay/study/whatever, so it may be a bit rambly, which is my tendency, but well....if you are able to read through it more power to you.  The original story without commentary can be found here.

Well, first off, this is actually a piece that

Ah, Jimmy Stone. He is the most minor of minor characters ever mentioned, but I have this strange tendency to grasp onto small passing references and decide they are character defining things. He was mentioned in like two eps, and the Doctor Who annual in 2006, but again I always liked the idea of him. PLUS, it does show a trend of Rose's. Also, she likes older men apparently, if Mickey was like 5 or 6 in Father's Day, and Rose started dating him at 15, so yay, another trend! I think it would've been neat to see or hear more about him at some point, but we never did.

So, I will let the TARDIS wiki tell you about Jimmy Stone.

While at school, she and a friend of hers, named Shareen, would often intentionally miss school to go shopping and to look at boys. (DW: The Unquiet Dead) Rose left school without taking her A-levels, later blaming Jimmy Stone as the only reason for her departure. (DW: Rose) However, she would also later recall that she had hated every second of school. (DW: The Unquiet Dead)

Rose began seeing Mickey at the age of 14, and at 15 she was suspended from her school, Jericho Street Comprehensive, for persuading the choir to go on strike. After doing badly in her GCSE exams, she left school to live with a 20 year-old musician, Jimmy Stone. She subsequently returned to Jackie and Mickey, heartbroken and in debt, and her mother called in a favour from an ex-boyfriend to get her the job at Henrik's.

So yeah, for some odd reason Jimmy Stone for me with Rose is sort of something I dwell on and think has to have some significance, I guess sort of like Lucy's father.

But apart from that, I love Peter Pan too, sooooo much. Anything PP makes me flail too, and just, the ending always made me so sad and just gutted, at least the book ending. For some reason I think the Disney ending wasn't half as depressing. So yeah, if I'm writing about DW and kids being selfish and things, Peter Pan seems the most related thing I could ever dream to think of.
