I don't know why, but, I kind of see your game Vanny as a disaster bisexual
VANNY IS THE QUEEN OF DISASTER..
#ask reply#it actually checks out especially with princess quest#literally the queen of disaster#I think Vanny can come off as mean cold strict etc#but I think thatâs just due to her circumstances#itâs actually canon she really wants to be good at her job she just isnât#and she couldnât make friends at her og job outside of Luis#so Vanessa isnât like as stand offish or uptight as she seems#I think sheâd really like to have friends#has a soft spot for people who are far calmer than her#itâs a good balance to her own insanity#I think she just really wants some nice company family friends etc#I love you Vanessa nobody can make me hate you

The thing about Ashton saying "WHAT DO YOU WANT" is that I really do understand that they are coming from a place of great pain and a genuinely awful life (and the Arch Heart doesn't really give a good answer either, which is similarly frustrating) but we keep getting this answer throughout the campaign, if not for the Arch Heart at least for other deities, and it's that most simple and also frustrating of answers: consistent effort.
Why did FCG catch the eye of the Changebringer? consistent, repeated prayer, even if it wasn't perfect and could get kind of silly or even annoying to others. Orym is not a worshiper of the Wildmother, but he still repeatedly has reached out and tried to talk to her in good faith (pun unintended). And looking back at others from past campaigns, we learn of their ongoing service - in the cases of those who are introduced as already faithful, often from a young age (Pike, Caduceus, Jester though her deity is not one of the Prime/Betrayer pantheons). Both Vax and Fjord made considerable sacrifices of their own without promises from the gods first, in addition to smaller, regular moments of worship in the course of their stories.
I've never loved the line about there being no atheists in foxholes, because frankly I think it's unfair to atheists and paints them as selfish, fickle, and spineless when many atheists are none of those things. But I do think that a lot of the anti-god arguments fit into that sort of philosophy, that the gods are only to be paid attention to in the moment of great and desperate need and neglected otherwise, and we've seen the attendants of temples repeatedly say that isn't how it works; it takes time. The gods don't necessarily answer a single yell off the cliffs of Zephrah or a single visit, but they do see the repetition and respond to that.
I think everyone in the fandom, regardless of how they feel about the gods, understands there's not going to be a quick easy painless fix to this mess once Ludinus set it in motion, but I do think a lot of people expect there to be a lot of quick fixes to other things (in the story, in fandom, and in real life). And yeah, it does suck that Ashton, having a terrible time, might have had more luck had they prayed or gone to the same temple regularly for a while without necessarily seeing results...but it's also very real. You do have to take your stupid mental health walks regularly for a while (let alone your meds) before there's a payoff. you do still need to do the dishes while you're depressed or sick lest they pile up and make things worse. consistent effort that doesn't always have immediate satisfying results is extremely unglamorous and also it's how you have to do basically everything in life. Even in a time of crisis you need to avert the crisis and then get back to the slow and consistent work of fixing it and improving things in the aftermath.
#i don't want to go too deep into this bc i do not want to call out people who are perfectly nice#but i get anon asks sometimes that seem to be looking for like. a magic bullet (none of the asks i got today to be clear)#hilariously corellon mx. i'm bored let's change it up and break the rules is maybe the worst god to ask even though they want it too#this is also like. also without going to deep into my personal religious experiences i dislike the Signs And Epiphanies narrative#like. it is not about that for me and it never has been and a lot of my discomfort when i was younger was about that#cr spoilers#critical role

New In Town (dp x dc)
ALRIGHT! đđ˝ A prompt. (Or, well. A premise.) Iâm schtealing a lot of worldbuilding from @mediumsizedpidegonâs post here so bear with me please.
The Bats, however they catch wind of Amity, catch wind of Amity Park. Of course they do. Amity Park has a very distinct presenceâ Or, well, a lack of a presence. It may have an abundance of documented weirdness online, from folk stories to abandoned livestreams to concerning details in expatsâ online blogs.
But there is no online evidence of Amity Park that leaves Amity Park.
So. What is a family of detectives to do when confronted with the need to gather physical evidence? Road Trip, baby!đđ˝ââď¸đđđĄ
Everyone hops in the car/Batplane and makes their way to Amity Park; they make hotel reservations, ring up the only reasonably rich enough people to even touch their social circle (the Manson family, and Vlad Masters, apparently), make an itinerary for all the documented tourist stops to hit up while in town off the town website, and prepare themselves for whatever dimensional weirdness is causing a complete tech blackout on the town and an inability to be found by satellite.
They get about ten feet into Amity proper when they meet the first local.
His name is Danny. Heâs nice! Affable. He looks a lot like any other Wayne sibling, actually, if a little on the younger side. He notices itâs their first time in town. Do they need any help getting around?
Best way to get information is to ingratiate with a local, so...sure, why not? They get a free tour guide, Danny gets to show off his town; they see all the sights, like the local burger joint, the school, the Manson home, the town hall, the city proper. Theyâre having a clothing swap in the temple parking lot, actually. You should go check it out!
For whatever reason, itâs all...Punk? Goth? Thereâs a couple of lolita dressed tossed in, and some crocheted things. Everyone has a trunk out their car, eyeliner, and at least two piercings in their face; everyone here seems to know each other on a personal level. Well, small towns are small towns. Whatever.
Danny isnât deterred by their reactions. If they want, thereâs the movie in park tonight! If not, they can catch dinner, though; their hotel restaurant closes at 8pm sharp. (He just...knows this off the top of his head?)
They split up. Some of the family people watch at the restaurant. Everyone is...weirdly courteous to them. A little standoffish. But not at the Wayne name, just at...them being there.
The people at the park find out theyâre watching The Night of the Living Dead. This would be much more normal if the park wasnât also clearly the cemetery, in the middle of July? Which is. Why? Itâs not even for any holiday or special time of the year? Itâs just...clearly a movie night in the summer? There are little kids here, playing among the gravestones while their parents set out blankets and snacks. Why is this considered a family event??
Well. At least Jason has fun.
Everyone goes to bed and reconvenes in the morning. When they wake up and roll out for the day, Danny manages to find them again, this time with two new friends, bright and chipper in the morning. Thereâs a farmerâs market today! Everyoneâs worked really hard on this weekâs harvest; donât they want to see?
...Sure?
And the longer theyâre in Amity Park, the more they begin to realize how convenient it is, that theyâre ferried around so easily; that thereâs immediately a local who takes a liking to them, that thereâs always something else to do; how suspicious it is that no data can get in or out of Amity now that theyâre in it, or how they canât seem to get close to any of the more suspicious parts of town they want to infiltrate. The town is entirely closed to outside influences. The fashion trends are strange and foreign. They only eat things grown in the area, by people they know, and itâs all sort of...green. Everyone knows everyone. Everyone knows where to go. Who to talk to. The superstitionsâ make no wishes, step on no cracks, wear no large jewelry, cross no shadows of any person (living or dead, apparently), speak to no one without full view of their eyes.Â
But nothing seems dangerousâ not until a few of them try to investigate Axiom Labs, a subsidiary of the otherwise national Dalvco company, and are met to the face with a blaster that uses tech theyâve never seen, by a red fighter in an ultra-synthetic suit.
Overnight, the extremely polite and welcoming town becomes a hostile entity to fight their way out of.
#...or something.#dp x dc#this is *technically* a subset of the Amity is Danny's Haunt au#he can physically feel how they don't fit. But he is TRYING to be a good host#everyone else is nervous around new people who Don't Get the local vibes#or even notice the dead people who are scattered all over Amity#dpxdc#dcxdp#I just wanted Danny to be So Cheerful and Nice it turns back into like stepford wife spookiness completely on accident#Danny seems Tailor Made to be liked by them and it's kinda freaky#Places they also fail to get into: Mayor's office. Vlad's bigass house. Fentonworks#Oh Boy does Danny's attitude change when they try to get into Fentonworks#dcu crossover#free to a good home

i saw this tweet and found it interesting for two reasons. one is that some people base how good cartoon network would be to toh by how it treated su, and despite the fact that suâs treatment by the network was considered poor at the time, now its thought to be exceptionally good in comparison to modern shows.
two is how exactly su got impacted by a limited budget. a common criticism is how characters like connie, peridot, and lapis are left out of missions. but balancing a lot of characters is not only hard but also costly (extra animation, extra voicesâitâs been revealed that the show is limited to a set number of characters per episode otherwise theyâre over budget). animation mistakes are not uncommon since retakes cost extra. the entire reason the original show got cut short was due to loss of funding!
#i donât know if pay rates differ per networks#but a.ivi and s.urrashu have said that they needed to work outside of su in order to make sufficient funds#it only makes me wonder what other ways su suffered from a lower budget#that we as the audience never got to see#in the vein of the too-little characters complaint#another part of that is that low-stakes episodes shouldâve been abt the main cast instead of the townies#like last one out of beach city and too short to ride vs restaurant wars and kikiâs pizza delivery service#i definitely see that especially since that isnât budget related#nor would it seem to be network related (even if cn had an âepisodic episodesâ quota it could still be abt the gems#(another side note: /would/ cn even have a requirement that the show make episodes that can be watched standalone?#this is a question for the people who were around when su was airing#what episodes often got rerun?#was it the townie eps or the lore eps?#for example i heard that su once did a âperidot eventâ where they just reran peridot episodes#which had eps that skip around in the show#did they even care about airing the story so that it made sense anyways?#id get it if the low stakes townie episodes were the ones getting rerun))#but i have such a boring view on that which is i think itâs simply because the creators like townie eps#like in interviews r.ebecca s.ugar has said sheâs the type to be really invested in background characters#answers in interviews have been crafted in ways to hide whatâs really going on though tbf#prime example of this is rebecca and ian saying the wedding being interrupted was meant to follow the common trope#when later in the art book they said that it was bc cn rejected the ep bc it âwasnât interesting enoughâ#both could simultaneously be true! itâs a psychology thing though where people make up nice-sounding explanations behind what they create#in retrospect because they want it to be thought out in such a nice way they believe in it#the bigger problem is that not matter how many episodes there are of them#it can be hard for ppl to be invested in the townies the same way they are invested in the main cast#iâm sure that a million writers have made surefire advice on how to get an audience to care about characters#but off the top of my head i think itâs because 1. most donât have strong motivations to get truly invested in#(exception is ronaldo but people find him too annoying to care about him)#okay i had more points and explanations but i hit the tag limit and idk if anyone is actually reading this so bye

Robin chose Steve. Robin made the conscious and deliberate decision that she could and would trust Steve. She already liked him! She had fun working and bantering with him! They were already on their way to being weird little bffs and the torture just expedited the process. Steve chose Robin just the same! He thinks she's fun and cool and likes her so much! He chose to be honest and open with her too, putting himself out there.
Even though their interests on the surface level don't match why wouldn't they share them? Steve clearly caves when Robin wants to watch a movie he doesn't think he'll like, Robin can watch a March madness game or five.
Stop trying to take away their bond oh my god people can be close to more than one person!!! Their best friend doesn't have to be dismissive or mean or whatever in order for a romance to be special to them!
#if i have to see another fic or whatever that makes it seem like robin doesnt give a shit about what steve likes and talkes about im going#to scream and maybe even rampage#its nice to sit down and have someone who knows explain who the players are and what the stakes for this particular game!!#just because yall seem to not think anyone can be nutral towards sports doesnt mean people aren't#literally why is it so hard to believe robin would like to hear steve talk as much as steve likes to hear her talk#i am so close to telling some steddie shippers to not look at steve or robin or their friendship because some of yall do Not get it.#its like you can see them go 'have to make sure eddie is the most perfect specialest boy for steve...well that means robin doesn't Get Him '#or 'robin ignores him/dismisses his interests/isnt told everything happening in his life' like okay dont ever touch them again thanks#robin is steves specialest sunshine cupcake goober girl. steve is robins bestest happy times sweet funnyman. dont u dare take that away.#omce again tsgs longer than the post but ah well.#stobin#platonic stobin#robin buckley#steve harrington#stranger things#finda's rambles#steve and robin#this is a scheduled post just to jazz things up i guess#but seriously some of yall need to STOP MESSIGN WITH STOBIN

I found your art like right before you started featuring Vasco more prominently in the lore, and seeing the focus shift from "This sad wet cat of a dog man priest is doomed by the narrative" to "this sad wet cat of a dog man priest has a sunshiny gay lover who is his world" has been a fun trip lol
.
#ah! so you got to watch this whole thing unfold!#I remember the early reactions to Vasco's reappearance#it seemed like people were cautiously hoping there was some chemistry going on but didn't want to jump to conclusions#I loved how well the first sneaky hidden kiss piece (saving grace) was received#it's one of my personal favorites still#not only because I think it turned out nicely from a technical point of view#but people were so excited to see it#it was heartwarming#answered#anonymous#sad wet cat of a dog man priest#and his sunshine gay lover who is his world#amen

RUFIOH PROPAGANDA: Literally everything he has ever done to and about Damara - cheating on her and lying to her for years, seemingly never standing up for her when Meenah was terrorizing her, still chasing her image as a sex object to this day (particularly Aradiabot, who he says acts âjust like the real thingâ), and calling her his âpsycho exâ behind her back constantly while acting nice to her face.
KANKRI PROPAGANDA: Straight up doesnât think Misogyny is real and denies its existence outright, calling it a meaningless pseudoscience not worth any concern, discussion, or consideration. Slutshames Porrim directly to her face.
#homestuck#homestuck polls#alpha trolls#rufioh nitram#kankri vantas#damara megido#porrim maryam#nekro.txt#my vote is personally on Rufioh since he is more of a danger than Kankri is#both physically and in how his misogyny is expressed#Kankri doesnât seem like he could survive a physical altercation and his misogyny. while more direct. is also just stupid as fuck#and doesnât really do much other than annoy Porrim and cause crazy fandom discourse bc the fandom is also full of misogynists#who take him completely at his word for no reason#despite his whole deal being that you shouldnât listen to him#Rufioh meanwhile is ABSOLUTELY capable of beating my ass in a fight AND heâs exercising his misogyny in very tangible ways#that can will and HAVE caused actual legitimate harm to people in universe#he played a very active role in damaras mental downfall and not only does he still mock and blame her for it#but he has the audacity to be nice to her face shit talk her behind her back and sexually objectify her image#aradiabot is a child and he still targeted her for âacting just like the real thingâ#way more dangerous than some dumb fucking idiot saying obviously stupid shit imo#like while Kankriâs misogyny is more overt bc heâs practically saying the words âIâm a misogynistâ with his whole chest#Rufiohâs misogyny is more *tangible*#you know

the speed with which brennan/evan decided to not only kill philtrum but to snap his wand to do so felt so satisfying (and hot), but also the way he did it (leaning into influencing the mind, directly shutting down the brain without any fanfare) draws a sharp contrast to the way philtrum chose to use magic, which is... not in an advantageous way given their location, right? if this was about getting them away from her/seizing the magical objects, she could've just as (or, given the rules as we understand them, much more) easily used some mind control/confusion spell to send them walking away. she wasn't casting intelligently given that magic is an extremely scarce resource there and also given that they're on the Mind magic island; she kind of just did exactly the sort of spell that was used to try to kill evan during the game in season 1, which makes sense given aabria's explanation of this being a group of people who would sacrifice anything to maintain their way of life and their sense of self.
and it just adds to the sinister energy to the island; it implies (perhaps unfairly, we have a sample size of one) that even after all this time on the island, they don't know what the island is about and why it costs them so much magic to do the things that used to be easy. they truly have no idea that they're on the fuck with your head island, probably because the island is fucking with their heads to keep them here and keep them hungry for magic and keep them from questioning if they should be living like this and make them spend every drop of magic that they can squeeze out of everything they have and everyone around them. this island is a like a massive parasite living in their minds pushing them to harvest resources that they think is necessary for their survival but is really being surrendered to feed the parasite. fuck man i KNEW the pretty green-grass blue-sky island was going to be the most fucked up one
#laughs awkwardly#dimension 20#misfits and magic spoilers#also dumping out the terracotta him (HI WHAT'S THAT ABOUT?? HELLO???) and immediately stuffing her corpse into his backpack? insane#the islands are associated with animals and us meeting the goat (earlier than intended maybe) really solidifies the idea that each island#has a personality. first island likes creating stuff and likes hot people. it rewards flashy fun stuff probably cause it likes fun#piss iceberg has goat who knows everything. who ultimately seems kind and rewards honesty and care#and then this. hoooooo. um. very venus flytrap coded. very wants to convince you that this is a nice good place to live#soooo excited. apparently next episode has healing magic. also jammer is going through the most

Tbh i am not surprised that a person who openly talked about having drinking problems since 1d days, because of how crazy 1d worked has been agressive. What surprises me is people being surprised (they never seriously saw drunk person?). But i am also confused about this whole book. Apparently Maya said that that book is not fully bout Liam but compilation about her exes and some of the worst parts are not about him. But recently she said that the book is âofc about himâ so what is true then? Or did she meant it that ofc some parts are about him or that whole book is about him?
Sorry, just confused
I also am not surprised- we've learned so much more about the real stories of things and about the guys' actual lives over the last years, and the story that has unfolded around Liam has been totally consistent throughout if you've been following it, and so the information Maya is telling us is shocking and upsetting but not difficult to believe. I got an anon yesterday saying they were worried about getting similar revelations about the other boys, like "if Liam could be doing this we just don't know, any of them could", and while in a way that's always true I guess, anyone could be doing anything in private like... that doesn't really concern me. Because none of these Liam revelations are coming out of nowhere, there have been many MANY steps along the way leading us here if you've been watching, and he has talked openly about both his mental health struggles and his addiction issues. So to answer that anon... to find out something similar about Louis would in contrast contradict everything we know about him and no I'm not worried about it. Is he probably very irritating, absolutely, but an abuser or a loose cannon, well that news would shock me. But anyway as for the book I don't find it strange that she was nervous when it came out and treading lightly and later decided, fuck it. In the absolutely on point tiktok she dropped today (YESđGIRLđFUCKING TELL THEMđ) she even mentions attempts to keep her from publishing the book, presumably by Liam's team, that I am riveted by and cannot WAIT to hear more details about actually- like I said I don't find it at all strange that she was nervous and downplayed it a bit then. But if she says now that it's just about Liam, well, I would say it's been clear from the beginning that the book is their story. Maya herself brought up the parallel of songs being written about stuff and I think it's the same thing; it's true (she was in an abusive relationship that involved certain kinds of events) but maybe not 100% literal (I'm sure details were changed to make the story work, it's not like a word for word timeline of their interactions or whatever).
#maya henry#blah blah blah#re the tiktok also lmaoooo are people really saying she wants money her family IS RICH like RICH RICH#but hot damn the part about enabling UH HUH !!!!!#yep yep yep#in terms of the other guys and what would shock me... well obviously we know Zayn has also had a history of agression#and we know WAY too much about him being pushy about sex lol#I would not be shocked to hear he crossed a line... but think he's probably just a bit of a fuckboy#I absolutely do not trust Niall behind closed doors but the songs we have about him seem to tell a pretty consistent story;#self absorbed but basically harmless#harry... who tf knows what he is like outside of being with Louis but I would be shocked to hear of him being aggressive yeah#I have a lot of issues with him but taking advantage of people or being pushy are not even on the radar#and as for Louis... like I said yeah it WOULD shock me. I don't just love him because he has a nice face!#it's BECAUSE of the ways we do know him and know what he's like. because of his tenderness and care#and his consistent kindness and love#and his openness about his private side#so yeah- it would shock the hell out of me it really would#but then I think that anon also was worried about eleanor spiling smth about their relationship so we are not coming from the same place#my kneejerk response was I'm sure he paid her on time what else are you worried about lol#although out of everyone if someone was going to say he lashed out at them I suppose it would be her#it was probably one of the most difficult and frought relationships in his life#and one that he did not want#so! but still no it doesn't worry me#tbh there was one thing in mayas video today that did surprise me which was the premeditation#Liam actually planning using the fans against people and sneaking around doing stuff#I guess even believing everythign I had chosen to paint a picture in my mind of someone who was still#basically unaware of the wrong they were doing and more flailing than plotting#and that shakes me a little. and makes me very unhappy to hear#liam discourse

I feel like is super easy to just NOT be hateful on ship posts
like if you come across a video or post or whatever about a ship that you don't like PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD JUST SCROLL
there is no need to activate seek out content of something that you don't like just so you can comment and whine about how you don't like it
you can make a separate post on your own goddam account but don't start hating on someone and being rude to someone you don't know for a freaking ship??
I don't like caleo that's pretty obvious I make posts about it whatever but what I don't do is search for content about the ship
I have the ship tag blocked, if I see a post that is about liking the ship I scroll
So please just learn how to scroll or use the block button
especially if the ship isn't even problematic
like personally jercy isn't my cup of tea theres nothing wrong with the ship in fact it's pretty cute and the shippers are really nice I just don't see it as romantic
so I don't freaking comment on posts about jercy because I'm not going to be an asshole
That was the daily rant with yours truly thank you for reading
#I just wanna hold hands with everybody and frolic around#And throw sand at the people I don't like#The people I don't like are problematic and rude people#I don't like rude people#valgrace#leo valdez#jason grace#trials of apollo#heros of olympus#rick riordan#percy jackson#Caleo#jercy#no seriously tho jercy shippers are so nice I love you all sm#the block button is free#for the people who seem to be allergic to joy magic and fun

prefacing this by saying it's obviously just my opinion, but i've spent soo much time thinking about what makes an eiffel design look the Most Eiffel to me, personally, so here are some design notes:
dark, wavy/curly hair. unkempt. anywhere between just past his ears to about shoulder length. usually tied back in a low ponytail.
scruffy!! never, ever clean shaven. his facial hair is most prominent on his chin, and there's a visible break between the hair on his upper lip and the hair on his cheeks. stubble, short/patchy beard, or hair just on his chin all work well depending on style.
visible arm hair!! and any other body hair that's relevant. generally hairy guy. anything that makes him scruffier looking is important.
long features - long face, long limbs. lanky body type, but with a bit of weight in the gut. bad posture. talks with his hands. wide, open body language: tall-ish with fairly broad shoulders, but most of the space he takes up is in his limbs so he can kind of comically fold narrowly into himself when scared / being yelled at / etc.
(classic Doug Eiffel Arms Behind Head While Leaning Back and Floating pose is always a winner.)
expressive, to kind of an absurd degree. tired eyes. lopsided smile. his eyebrows do a lot of the work: i often see people instinctively draw eiffel with sheepish "ââââ" shaped eyebrows and it's very real to me. constantly hamming it up even when he doesn't mean to. he has the presence of a class clown that never grew out of it.
prominent nose, kind of "square rounded" in shape with a wider tip <- same as zach valenti's. i wouldn't say he looks exactly like zach valenti to me, but definitely very close, with a difference more in style than features. italian-american by association...?
generic star wars logo tee as his default outfit, but other generic logo tees for things he likes, or "undershirt worn as shirt" also feel true. the key point is that it has to look like he bought it at walmart for less than ten dollars. will wear it until it disintegrates.
not really a guy who accessorizes either, unless wearing his headphones around his neck counts.
rarely wearing shoes. holes in every single one of his socks.
orange is my preferred flight suit color for how it visually suggests eiffel traded one prison for another. needless to say, maybe, he should never be wearing it properly. usually tied around his waist, but he pretty much never wears long sleeves - even if he has the sleeves on, they're always rolled way up.
#wolf 359#w359#doug eiffel#i'm sure i have others but these are most of the key ones. in my opinion. sometimes i wish i didn't have such a set image#because i feel kinda guilty whenever i see otherwise nice art but i'm like oh... why did you shear him... <- most common reaction#and it makes me seem a little insane. but on the other hand. i think it's really fascinating#how consistently people tend to draw eiffel like wow is zach valenti a guy who looks exactly how he sounds. it's uncanny.#on the other hand my only strong hera design opinions are: aquiline nose. generally angular. shoulder length hair worn more to one side.#someday i'll learn to draw. maybe.

âNine would have treated Martha better than Ten didâ
I need to talk about this argument that never seems to stop circulating.
Note: Not a venomous/anti post. Thereâs more than enough of that across fandom spaces as is, and this is supposed to be a place for â¨sweet, blissful escapismâ¨
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 Roseâs wake the entire time Martha travels with him, which is why itâs so frequently called upon: Itâs 100% deliberate in framing his grief. He grieved as Nine too, of courseâ having been fresh on the heels of the Time War â 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 wouldnât have been that way just because the Doctor was Nine and âNine was differentâ â it would be because he wasnât 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 â if Nine had taken both of them along with him in S1 â weâd 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 âsoap operaâ as is with just one woman in the TARDIS.
(I certainly wouldnât object to reading that fic, though)
Now, regarding the unrequited elephant in the roomâŚ
His inability to be romantic with Martha isnât because he thinks her lesser, nor is it for lack of compatibility. It isn't because Rose is any better than her. It certainly isnât just because heâs Ten.
Itâs really only for one reason, which can't be denied â and now Iâm 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 heâs just lost the love of his life. Martha merely got caught in the crosshairs of a volatile Time Lord in mourning, and yes â it sucks. Absolutely.
But it also feels dismissive to chalk Ten and Marthaâs 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 â 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 BBCâs extended universe of novels/comics/cartoons/etc, thereâs so much depth to their relationship: love and trust and trauma and sacrifice. They had their own special bond as mates, their own complexities â so itâs a bummer that it's forever overshadowed by the other things.
Iâm 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 thatâs unique to Ten) â as well as his flat-out obliviousness to Marthaâs 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.
âHe 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 thatâs all because of me! I made her into the Rose Tyler that saved him.â
-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 didnât 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. Iâm 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. Itâs one of the things I love so much about this character â 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.
