“Nine would have treated Martha better than Ten did”

I need to talk about this argument that never seems to stop circulating.

Note: Not a venomous/anti post. There’s more than enough of that across fandom spaces as is, and this is supposed to be a place for ✨sweet, blissful escapism✨

When making this argument, people seem to envision a scenario in which Nine never met Rose.

While I can appreciate a good hypothetical, recognizing Rose's significance to the Doctor (Nine and Ten) is essential to understanding why things with Martha played out the way they did in the first place.

In the third series, the Doctor is grieving. This grief is deliberately threaded into nearly every script, whether spoken aloud or not (and these are just a few examples):

He's burning in Rose’s wake the entire time Martha travels with him, which is why it’s so frequently called upon: It’s 100% deliberate in framing his grief. He grieved as Nine too, of course— having been fresh on the heels of the Time War — but then he met Rose, which changed everything.

Back then, he was still a rude, traumatized pain in the ass, but we watch Rose soften more of those jagged edges with every episode as they grow closer; as he lets his guard down and forms a deep connection with her.

He falls in love (against his better judgment) and it's game over.

And yes: provided S1E1 had been titled 'Martha', one can realistically assume things might have unfolded similarly to how they did with Rose. However, it wouldn’t have been that way just because the Doctor was Nine and “Nine was different” — it would be because he wasn’t already in love with someone else. The same can't be said for the start of S3.

Think of it like this: if Rose AND Martha had been in that cellar — if Nine had taken both of them along with him in S1 — we’d eventually be looking at the most melodramatic love triangle ever, what with him living in close quarters with two brilliant, gorgeous, compassionate young women... But Doctor Who is plenty “soap opera” as is with just one woman in the TARDIS.

(I certainly wouldn’t object to reading that fic, though)

Now, regarding the unrequited elephant in the room…

His inability to be romantic with Martha isn’t because he thinks her lesser, nor is it for lack of compatibility. It isn't because Rose is any better than her. It certainly isn’t just because he’s Ten.

It’s really only for one reason, which can't be denied — and now I’m a broken record:

He is still in love with Rose.

(cut from a tenrosedaily gif)

Nine is Ten, and Ten is only such a mess in S3 because he’s just lost the love of his life. Martha merely got caught in the crosshairs of a volatile Time Lord in mourning, and yes — it sucks. Absolutely.

But it also feels dismissive to chalk Ten and Martha’s relationship up to little more than some sort of mindless dance of pining, jealousy, and toxicity.

Ten trusted Martha with his life over and over again — and hers, with him. He constantly praised her brilliance, happily carting her around time and space with no intention of letting her go. In the BBC’s extended universe of novels/comics/cartoons/etc, there’s so much depth to their relationship: love and trust and trauma and sacrifice. They had their own special bond as mates, their own complexities — so it’s a bummer that it's forever overshadowed by the other things.

I’m not denying that there was a lot of stuff that sucked/was for sure toxic about Ten's S3 behavior, but so many of the things I've seen him catching flak for can be directly attributed to being A Clueless Fucking Alien Idiot (not a trait that’s unique to Ten) — as well as his flat-out obliviousness to Martha’s feelings.

So yes, I agree: if Rose never existed, he would have treated Martha differently as Nine. He also would have treated her differently as Ten. Certainly.

But Rose did exist, and when discussing canon, it matters.

“He tells me that he absolutely, 100% loves Rose... He tells me how my daughter; my wonderful, beautiful, clever little girl saved him from himself before… And he says that’s all because of me! I made her into the Rose Tyler that saved him.”

-Jackie Tyler, Flight Into Hull!

Martha got the short end of the stick in S3. She came round at the wrong place and time, but that doesn't mean it was all bad. It doesn't mean the Doctor didn’t adore her. It certainly doesn't mean the time they spent together was wasted or worthless. They were brilliant!

Sure, he could be a twat, but let it be known that he was a twat with Rose as well, both as Nine and Ten. I’m sure Tentoo can be plenty infuriating, too. So while I'll defend Ten (and Tentoo) into the ground forever and ever and ever, I'll concede that he's fucked up.

The Doctor is a certified Pain In The Ass. It’s one of the things I love so much about this character — dynamics.

But never forget that Martha was goddamn tough as nails and overcame every bit of it. She moved on with her life, and the Doctor moved on with his. One can only pray that, when they inevitably drag her back onto the show (which feels inevitable if I'm honest), we see at once that she's been living her best life for all these years.

Prompt by @urfriendlywriter - Waking up in their chest, their arms wrapped around you protectively. You just tilt your head and admire the curve of their lips, their lashes and their soft labored breaths as they seem to hold you like you're their most beloved treasure!

Summary- the bestfriends have finally confessed their love, and are waking up in bed after spending an intimate night together.

Characters- M (fmc, reader), P (mmc, reader's childhood bestfriend)

She couldn't remember the last time she had been this comfortable in bed. The last time she had slept so well. The last time she had woken up all cozy and wrapped up in someone's arms.

Actually, that hadn't happened yet. This was a first.

She was awake now, but all this still felt like a dream. They were sharing a bed. She was in his arms. He was hers. For now and forever.

She giggled at how she was literally lying on top of him, and her head resting on his chest made her heart soar. This was everything she had ever hoped for. Everything she had ever dreamed of.

And now it was time to wake up to a new life with him.

M wiggled around, trying to turn her head to look at P without falling off of him. His arms tightened in response and she blushed. He looked so serene, so at peace....as if now that he had her, he never wanted anything else. Never wanted to do anything but hold her and keep her to himself.

On the other hand, M wanted to do a lot of things. Like tracing the curve and arch of his lips, the strong line of jaw, the sharp nose framed by full, flushed cheeks. She would have done all this and so much more, if only she could move her arms!

That's right, she was hugged so tightly to his chest that her arms were leaden and bound at her sides. She groaned softly, trying just a little hard to wriggle and free herself from his hold, when she felt his arms flex and tighten again.

"P" she breathed in sharply, "You jerk! You're awake, aren't you?"

"Mhmhmhmhm" was his reply, and M rolled her eyes at his sleepy grin.

"Uh huh, I know you're awake. Time to get out of bed."

"Nuh uh," he countered, his voice deep and scratchy from sleep. M had heard this voice all through her teenage, had practically grown up with it. And still this time her heart fluttered in delight. He really was hers, wasn't he?

"Can't you spend a few more minutes admiring my charming face?" He asked, and M rolled her eyes before headbutting him in response. She had only managed to slightly nudge his chin when he suddenly rolled over, pinning her under his form.

All breath left M's lungs as she gasped. Caged in his arms like that, there was no where else M would rather be. Putting up a fight, however, was a must.

P descended on her slowly with half lidded eyes and M ducked her head, delaying the inevitable kiss that was bound to turn into a full blown hot as hell makeout session. P crashed into the soft pillow of the hotel bed instead, and M was too busy giggling to notice his arms snake up around her.

"Where," he said slowly, his voice deeper than before, "do you think you're going, Miss?" It was too late, he had her arms pinned above her head and there was nothing, nothing in the world that'd make her fight her way out of his hold this time.

M closed her eyes and moaned softly as P lowered himself over her, blanketing her but not crushing her. "N-nowhere", M stuttered out. Apparently that was the correct answer because in a flash his soft lips were on her neck, kissing and sucking and licking as a hot trail blazed her skin from head to toe. He attacked her neck and shoulders and the hollow of her throat till she was writhing under him, every cell in her body begging for more.

She was ready to demand a proper kiss when he stopped and froze over her. For a second she worried something was wrong, before she recognised the look on his face.

It was the same one she had worn minutes ago, when she had woken up.

It was the look of realization that she was his. Finally, finally they were together. She was his to love, his to adore, his to cherish.

He had been lost for so long, searching for the treasure that had been right beside him all along. Now he had the treasure, his treasure, right here in his arms, and she knew he'd spend his eternity at her altar, protecting her from the world, forever.

M took a chance, deciding to end the moment before either of them got swept in a wave of emotions. "Done admiring my charming face, Mister?" She teased him, still basking in the glow of his adoration. "Because in that case, there's something waiting for us."

P grinned and shook his head before letting her go. "Yeah, your first love? Food?" he rolled his eyes as he pressed a kiss to her nose. "Okay, let's go before the breakfast buffet runs out!"

There is no doubt that Bones kind of fumbled actually getting Booth and Brennan together, but y'know, six seasons and over 100 episodes of them being together and in love, buying a house, having a baby, getting married, having another baby, and being all cute and domestic goes a long way in making up for it

could u do prompts about a character who accidentally kissed their best friend while both drunk

Yes! Here we go, enjoy :)

By @me-writes-prompts

“You don’t remember anything, do you?” “No…? What are you talking about?” “Nothing. Nothing.”

“I accidentally kissed them while we were drunk.” “Did you tell them that yet?” “No, no! I don’t think they remember it.” “That’s all the more reason to tell them, in my opinion.”

Going home and regretting they ever did that, because the look that their best friend gave them was one of terror and perhaps, disgust.

“It was just an accidental kiss. It means nothing.”

They both just wanted to relax and have a few drinks but when their best friend leaned too close, they couldn’t move from where they were sitting.

“Do you think the kiss was really accidental on your part? I mean let's be honest, you’ve been in love with them for ages now.”

“So…why I did kiss them back?” “I don’t know, I wasn’t there. Why did you?” “I don’t know either, I just. I’m so confused right now. It was an accidental kiss but I would like for it to happen again, if they like me back.”

@zexalmonth day 8:

F for Friendship

Yuma and Astral's relationship means everything to me.

I was immediately captured by them from the very start, from their rocky beginning, and watching their reluctantly partnership evolve into a bond that strong and deep is what makes Zexal so special to me.

They complement each other, both in terms of personality and duels, and they grew thanks to their bond, which got stronger after every obstacle and trouble that they overcame together.

Even if they were destined to be connected, being two parts of the same soul, they built their friendship from the ground, they learned to love the strengths and flaws of the other, and, from want to have nothing to do with the other, they become everything to each other.

Their bond has changed their lives, just as it has changed mine.

actually kills me every time i start losing my mind over a ship only to find out they have no fans and i can’t binge read incredible fan fictions or metas on them for days on end.

[wayfinder-family-lover]

Can I talk about how they set up the Phisut family vs the Nirun family expectations for their youngest dating?

Starting with Lee, Phisut mama never used gender, she only wants to know who is the person that steal her youngest son's heart. We see she never give a fuck about that person gender. She is just so happy that her son is happy and to have another child to spoil!

And it goes with Teerak too, at no point does he put any expectation on Lee's crush. Saying someone all the time.

Here, there is no expectation of Lee's crush gender, in that scene the only one to know that Punlee likes a boy is us the audience (and maybe Fah, because unlike his parents and boyfriend at no point he is surprise that Lee likes someone. Instead he is just happy for his brother. So it's either because he is happy that his brother find love like he did or he knows who it is and he is happy he is telling their family).

And this contrast Rak's parents reaction to him having someone. While his mother does start with general vertues and finish by saying that she would love whoever Rak choose, because that his choice. It still put an expectation for Rak. She still have an ideal scenario of who that person gonna be. And while Fah fit in for most of it, he truly doesn't in one part. A part that might look unimportant, but unfortunately is in this society. And it's his gender. Fah is very much a man (unless they go trans/non binary route, but doubtful even if it would be fun), which leave Rak so insecure. But at least, her mom notice and reassure him. Even if, she doesn't understand why yet.

But his father is worst. Because he doesn't even let Rak speaks. The second he realizes that his son is in a relationship. He directly assumes that he is dating an older woman. Which lowkey weird reaction, like even if Fah was a woman, they are what 2 years apart at most, not much of age difference. Like why are you so happy he is dating someone older, just be happy your son is in a relationship. But that's me. His father put a lot of emphasis on the girl part, the gender part. Now I think about it, he never ask question about how "she" is has a person, just be proud that Teerak date an older woman. Add to that Teerak's incapacity to stand up for himself, it was an hard scene to watch and it was hard for him to correct his father.

And the fact those scenes are in the same episode, really show the contrast on how the Phisut parents truly doesn't have expectations on their children partners. They only care about them as a person. The Phisut parents care about Ghlai as a person even before meeting him, wanted to know who he is, because he makes Lee happy. Vs the Nirun parents who care about the gender of Teerak's partner, tho their personality also play a part. But it's something they expect. I love how they set this up. The Phisut parents did everything to make sure Fah and Lee know they don't care about the gender of the people they love. The Nirun didn't. Punlee and Muenfah know and are secure on their parents love even if they are queer. Teerak isn't.

Like Your Sky maybe not perfect, but when it comes to theme of love and communication and growth and trust, of community the show is doing such a good job!
