Plsss someone add Romana, Charley, etc I have no access to my PC atm, otherwise I would do it

was thinking about the nine/jack/rose love triangle and about how, unlike most love triangles, it is actually three-sided. It's not a "two men in love with the same girl" triangle, it's a "two men are in love with each other and also the girl" triangle except it's not. because it has more vertices when you include mickey. which ends up looking like this:

it's a love pentagon. (side note: if you ship Martha x jack, mickey x the doctor and jack x mickey, it becomes a love pentagram) but let's make this more interesting. What if I included every love interest I could think of? Well. I present to you:

the great doctor who love web.

can anyone hear me

I love that when the Doctor falls for women, they're the coolest most badass people (think of River, Rose, Yaz, Romana, etc.), but when they fall for men they're always loser nerds (Fitz, Rogue, Koschei). they've got the best taste in women and the worse in men. that's real bi/pan representation there.

Romana is a fun companion because, like

Not only is the doctor being a time lord fundamentally uninteresting to her, also a time lord

But also she thinks he’s kind of a loser?

Like, here’s this asshole who’s used to impressing primitive races with the mere fact of his existence, which I’m sure she also side-eyes real hard in the your girlfriend still has recess kind of way

And to her he’s just this fucking deadbeat who slid through school and fucked off and now goes around in his shit-ass 1980s Toyota Corolla which he doesn’t even fucking know how to drive properly, it’s rusted all to fuck and he does his own repairs??? The brakes??? Don’t work????????

Who is he again????????

I like her.
