#martha deserves better

[blackladynerd]

Martha definitely doesn’t need her own Doctor like Rose or Donna but…an apology? A mention? Some acknowledgment of her existence? That’s all I ask.

[thetimelordbatgirl]

Obviously its alleged/not true until proven otherwise, but like, if Martha really is leading that spin off that keeps getting thrown around, The War Between The Land And Sea...ngl not really interested in it still. Like I love Martha and really wish she'd get a spin off on the levels of SJA and torchwood, but like, a spin off that from what's been said about it, sounds boring as fuck and has two alien species who just barley manage to have good Doctor Who episodes and also has fucking UNIT in it...yeah i'll pass. Plus giving desperation to get people to watch it when Martha's not even met either alien species in her Doctor Who run and is meant to be a free lancer with Mickey, not somehow ending up doing shit with UNIT when she literally left them last we saw her.

The S.S. Marthacussy rn:

martha jones is stronger than the us marines because i think i would have killed anyone that treated me the way the doctor treated her in cold blood. he starts off their time together by kissing her passionately in a hospital hallway and when she’s like “who are you omg?” he starts waxing poetic to her about this random girl she’s never met. and then he ends their time together by having homoerotic tension with and then sobbing over the body of a man who just made her have the worst year of her life. its a wonder she didn’t go apeshit

Every nu Who companion was mentioned except Martha! WTF?! 🤬

[tangerinelabyrinth]

If I was Martha, I would have let the Doctor eat nothing but pears.

Does it ever hit you that Martha sat down in New New York and told the Doctor that she needed his honesty more than she needed to go home and that religious music played in the background at that scene and it was almost framed as a confession, in the most religious sense, and go a little bit feral? That as early as her third episode, she was framed as his equal, equally divine, equally a doctor, able to confront him, able to make him honest, able to sympathize with him, able to abide with him? That so few companions have ever spent so much time in one time period with the Doctor (1969/1913, for example), being with him/her, not running, just staying? That for every fucking thing Ten did wrong as John Smith/after coming back to himself in Human Nature/Family of Blood, he trusted her enough to leave himself vulnerable and human in her care, because he trusted her as a Doctor, because she was just as much a Doctor as he was? That Martha was, more than any other companion of the Tenth Doctor's, his equal, that her final speech about not being second was not just talking about her not being second best to Rose but about being second best to him? That she finally understood what had been true from the moment that they met and she closed Stoker's eyes and the Doctor realized that she had not just bravery and cleverness but a kindness that he had forgotten, that Martha Jones, more than anything else, has been and always will be The Doctor?

[leikeliscomet]

You think Martha deserved better because you think her being attracted to Ten is some moral failing she needed to correct I think Martha deserved better bc the misogynoir in S3 in the show and fandom was so rampant that Freema Agyeman, other Black and mixed actors and fans are dealing with the repercussions over a decade later we're not the same

[khruschevshoe]

You think being dumped by text is hard? Imagine being one of the Tenth Doctor's exes (or not-quite-exes, we're counting brutal platonic break-ups here too).

No Martha jones deserves better cause tell me why she put up with her crushes insensitivity for a month only to watch said crush fold for and forgive a man who had tortured the entire planet for a year and mocked and hurt her family.

Like Martha sweety come here he does not deserve your friendship.
