Fannish distractions ahoy! :D
1. Not enjoying season two of Eight/Lucie quite as much as season one, but they're definitely a favourite team. (Also, I keep trying to write Five and hearing Eight first.)
2. Still making Alice icons. When I can stare at the screen for decent amounts of time.
3. One day I'll make a list of everything I consider Who canon, and how I consider it canon. Eight probably has like four different universes.
4. For now, have a list of New Who fanon/character interpretation/theories.
1. Both Human Natures happened. Somehow. Human!Seven was more Doctorish because he wasn't hiding from anything, and so had no reason to blend in as much as possible. (Also because he is Seven.) The last bit of Family of Blood did not happen.
2. Ten actually did fancy Martha, but he didn't want to because he didn't think it would end well for either of them, so he tried to pretend he didn't, and was very bad at it. And he would have loved her even if he didn't fancy her, he just really sucked at showing it.
3. "I could save the world but lose you" is not about the ship, it is about Nine's issues. He cannot actually bring himself to directly kill anyone after the Time War, especially if it's someone he cares for, even if it's the best choice. So Rose and Harriet had to make that choice for him. (Ten, of course, takes it too far in the other direction. No, I am still not over the baby spiders. And I hate spiders.)
4. The speech at the end of PotW wasn't all about saving the Doctor. It was about Rose wanting to make a difference. She just hadn't realised she could do it without him, or that her opportunities did not make her better than Jackie or Mickey. At the time, I was hoping she'd learn both in the next season.
5. Jake died. I would tell you how but that's in the Rose fic I might never finish. But that's basically the reason she didn't seem like she was having a Fantastic Life in the altverse because she totally was, dammit, and the reason Mickey didn't even look at her and stayed behind in our universe.
6. It's about fifty/fifty, whether Donna will realise her potential again. What she needed was confidence, and hope, and wonder - she might well find it again, she might not. I don't like people insisting on either, because we just don't know. Some of it depends on if her mother really does change how she treats her.
This is all supposing she's effectively sheltered from certain information, of course.
7. River's first Doctor was actually Seven. Now someone write me fic.
