it's insane to me that people can't get past the nuances of rose and mickey's relationship and how they're both good people who don't do right by each other. like this is a show where the main character (allegedly) kills his entire species and you can't get past why two people who started dating in their teens might fuck each other up a bit

#I’ve said it before and I’ll say it forever:#the takeaway from Rose and Mickey’s relationship wasn’t that Rose was bad for Mickey/a bad girlfriend #they were not right for EACH OTHER #Mickey was selfish and it’s heavily implied in EPISODE ONE that he has unfaithful tendencies #so for people to treat him like a poor bb victim suffering beneath Rose’s evil hand = insane #they grew up together. spent their whole lives as best mates #living in government housing #in close quarters without shit to do because shit costs money #so people relatively close in age with even remotely similar interests who are attractive tend to be drawn together #and people date who shouldn’t date — people fuck who shouldn’t fuck #not that this only happens below the poverty line but I’m just saying; given this situation #Mickey and Rose were never a good fit — they were just convenient and *there*#reinforced by the love you have for your mates #there were faults on both sides — and they were crazy young #no Rose wasn’t a great girlfriend to Mickey #but Mickey wasn’t a good boyfriend to Rose either.#they were doomed whether the Doctor showed up or not #let their enduring friendship stand as a testament to the fact that their platonic love was all that mattered in the end #god it drives me insane how people use the Mickey thing as ammo against Rose #when we have multiple examples of Mickey’s faults in S1E1 #I feel like it’s all written in a very deliberate way so it feels really obvious #but then again — so was the Tentoo ending and people still be acting like that wasn’t a good ending for Rose #so I don’t know why I still expect any better from the general population #anyway it’s been a shit week to be an American and I’m a bit sensitive right now so don’t mind me
