Random Shippy Drivel - DW (spoilers up to S3)

Doctor/Rose versus Ten/Martha. Under the cut because it's utter nonsense and was written solely to drag me out of my emo and kick me into believing in my ship again. Sometimes I need to remind myself of this stuff, when I read articles about bed-sharing or the Doctor invites yet another person along.

For a moment there, I thought I could see where ( Read more... )

Awww. You know, maybe it's horrible insensitive of me, but I hadn'tactually realised your ship was, as they say, "sinking". I know how you felt/feel. In the beginning of season three, I was just so incredibly angry at what they'd done and at other people's reactions that they kind of got caught up in my own and I found myself believing things that I didn't want to believe ( ... )

Somehow it just does not compute in my head, I can't even see it and it literally makes me laugh. It's almost a joke. - That is EXACTLY how I used to be, but then something about Family of Blood made me stop and think...no, I could maybe see this happening in the future. But when I think about it more carefully, I know they could never work as a couple, like he and Rose potentially could have, even if they do make him love her. I don't know. Perhaps it's because Freema learnt to act and for the first time I believed what she was saying, believed she loves him (not that she's in love with him, though, not by a long shot) and that it's not just some silly crush. Still, that means nothing on his part. :)

I know they were utterly and completely in love, I know he's still hurting because of it - Yeah. I just have to remind myself sometimes that, just because he isn't mentioning Rose 24/7, that in no way means he's forgotten her. Afterall, it's been as long for him as it has for us, now, perhaps longer, and I don't bawl everytime her name ( ... )

Never mind, dont go into a funk, 9/Rose was and is a great pairing and I've read some of your stuff with them and you can keep your ship alive with your stories cant you? : )

:) Yeah, thanks! Good point, that. At least there'll always be fic. Afterall, people are still writing for One!

Every now and then, especially during the first part of the series, I've had these moments when you can see from where the Doctor/Martha shippers are coming from despite the Rose mentions that came in almost every episode.

I must say that because of great fanfic writers, like yourself, out there writing these amazing reunion fics or stand alone stories that would fit into the Doctor Who universe. Fanfiction keeps these characters, and what they had, alive and kicking even when the actors decide to move on to other projects.

Sometimes, a hug is just a hug, and I need to stop stressing over the fact that *gasp* the Doctor actually dared to touch someone who wasn’t Rose. Not only did I stress about the hugs but when he asked her come along with him as a companion and when she received the TARDIS key were points where I kept forgetting that just because he's moving on doesn't mean he's forgetting about Rose ( ... )

Fanfiction keeps these characters, and what they had, alive and kicking even when the actors decide to move on to other projects. - Yes, it does =D I love DW for that. I mean, the show was kept going pretty much solely through mediums like fanfiction and the magazine for what, sixteen years? And people are still writing fics about One. That gives me faith in how this ship will last if nothing else does. *grin*

I kept forgetting that just because he's moving on doesn't mean he's forgetting about Rose. - Mm, it's hard, because those are the moments when we think about her most, too, so it only seems natural that the Doctor would. Ugh. It'll always be hard. I think poor Martha got the raw deal, being the very next companion ( ... )

So I know I've never commented in your journal before except for to occasionally leave a review of a story...though I usually just lurk. But your thoughts on being a shipper practically had me crying all over again. Because that is exactly what I've been trying to express. To let people ship whoever they ship and just leave it at that. I have a girl on my f-list that goes on constantly about how Rose/Doctor shippers are delusional and that Time and Chips can't really ever move foward as a community because their a Doctor/Rose only community. And the sad thing is, she's a Doctor/Rose shipper. She at least used to be, a huge shipper of them. And a big defender of the couple. But she strikes out at the D/R shippers now, just because some of them decided to bash Martha. But like I said, she's constantly going on about how we take everything in the new episodes and relate it to Rose and how we all need to get over that Rose wasn't super special and what not ( ... )

But just let them be. If you don't like the ship, don't read it. - That's the best thing about DW: it's a great big breeding ground for denial, whichever ship it is that you're trying to ignore. *grins*

I've found that being able to accept that, makes the episodes a lot more easier to swallow. - It really does, because now I can be glad that he has someone there for him, rather than resentful because it's not Rose. :)

I like your magnanimous "ship and let ship" attitude. It frustrates me to no end when some people feel that their ship is the only possible right way of, erm, sailing.
Personally, I spent a chunk of my life wasting time with unrequited love. So I can sympathize all too painfully with Martha, but it doesn't make me want the Doctor to love her- it makes me want her to wake up and move on and appreciate the wonders she does have.
But if it makes someone else happy to think otherwise, good for them. There's never enough happiness in the world, get yours wherever you can.

It frustrates me to no end when some people feel that their ship is the only possible right way of, erm, sailing. - Yeah. What can I do about people shipping Ten and Martha, especially when there are people around who objected just as strongly to the Doctor/Rose ship? It'd be hypocritical of me to say they don't deserve to make what they will of the show and pairing, really. I can't change their opinion and I don't have the right to, either. Besides, stressing about other people's opinions will only raise my blood pressure. *grins*

it makes me want her to wake up and move on and appreciate the wonders she does have. - Oh, absolutely. I want to shake her and say, enjoy it while you can! After all, it will all be over soon enough, and who wants to have wasted such a wonderful life pining away after a man who always seems to be in love with someone else?
