A lot's been said about romance in Doctor Who but what gets me is even if we were to entertain the idea of romance being the height of love and human experience, the demographics of who actually gets to explore this are very interesting. Minus Thasmin and Jack lipsing Nine, most Doctor's are men with women as love interests. Rose, Clara, River Song, Madame de Pompadour, Queen Elizabeth I, Lady Christina, Joan Redfern... if love is so enriching and powerful and lovely and human... why couldn't the Doctor's male incarnations be enriched by men or people that aren't women? Where were the Doomsday episodes of him crying for the man he loves but could never see again? We get throwaway lines and jokes about the Doctor liking men in male incarnations but actual TenRose or DoctorRiver moments, swelling music as he kisses the man of his dreams? They're lacking. Which is peak for "the gay blue box show". Same can be said for the women of Who. We sat through Tennant lipsing women across the galaxy but one hypothetical Thasmin kiss has articles and essays and video essays... All this hotion and commotion about the *idea* of sapphic love. Obviously the show would wanna avoid sexualisation (as it should) but the immediate hush hush around representing romance (and sex too tbh) from a woman's POV and pearl clutching of a kiss between two women shows the scales aren't even.
And it extends to race too. How many Black couples and couples of colour actually got their universe defying love on screen? How many times is Black love, Black people in love and love of POC actually celebrated? Martha's parents split so Clive could date a young blonde. TenMartha couldn't thrive platonically or romantically because she "wasn't Rose" enough for Ten. Umbreen and Prem were doomed from the start. Graham lost Grace. Ryan lost Bella. Ryasmin never went anywhere and never can because Thasmin got picked instead. We got Bill and Heather at the expense of Bill losing her human body forever and the dark skin girl she dated never being mentioned ever again (Remember Penny? The show doesn't!). We all know what happened to RoseMickey and ClaraDanny so they're automatically ruled out. So who've we got left? Bell and Vinder (not too shabby)? That West Indian couple from Planet of the Dead? Its not looking good bruv.
Look I get why people see the magic and wonder of romance but it doesn't feel so magical if we only see it reserved for certain demographics. The false equating of romance making us human is one thing (as if single/unpartnered people are "less human") but when we only see that "humanity" through white non-aspec cishet couples... what is the show saying about people who's romance is different? For people who don't have romance at all? What are YOU saying about those people?
Romance in Doctor Who isn't the problem but amatonormativity definitely is.

Anyway Ryasmin is a good ship and I like it and I will write Slow Burn fics to show people just how much potential it has.

Canon has no bearing on the “legitimacy” of a fandom ship. No ship needs to be “legitimate” to deserve respect. There are a variety of reasons to ship characters, and what is depicted in the media is only one among them. There’s an even bigger variety of ways to interpret what we see. If a conflicting ship is such an affront to your fandom constitution, consider blacklisting and ignoring before making comments, sending asks, or making posts about why one ship is “better” or more “legitimate” than an another. 
The Doctor Who fandom deserves to see how much of a better, kinder person you are than that.

I'm so glad tumblr hasn't succumbed to the thasmin vs ryasmin discourse. Everyone I follow just respects both ships as equally valid and nobody throws shade at each. Twitter, take notes

why i don’t ship ryasmim
aka my opinion that no one asked for :)
before anyone attacks me, i do have a genuine reason and it’s not just becasue i ship thasmin!
at the moment i feel like ryan and yaz have a great platonic relationship and i want that to grow into an almost sibling like relationship in series 12, because i feel like in the media we don’t have enough purely platonic male and female friendships. and by that i mean a friendship where there’s never been any unrequited feelings, no are they aren’t they stuff, no “oh we used to date but now we’re best friends”, no “oh i used to have a crush on him/her but now i don’t”, no “well i’d date you if you asked”, just pure friendship. obviously there are some examples of this in the media but i feel like ryan and yaz would have a perfect, teasing, close sibling relationship if the writers chose to write them like that.
another reason why i don’t want them to be canon in series 12 is because in my opinion there hasn’t been any hints at romance in their relationship so far and if they suddenly became canon i would feel like it was far to rushed with not enough development. in contrast, i feel like the relationship between yaz and the doctor could far more easily be developed into romance without it feeling nearly as rushed.
this isn’t meant as hate towards any ryasmin shipper, i just have a lot of thoughts on this subject so i thought i’d share a couple

hey, huge arachnophobe here. can i skip arachnids in the uk? is it super important that i have to watch it? can you just please give me a run down?
(I’m not a dw expert but I’ll do my best)
You can skip it. To be honest, you won’t me missing anything, the Arachnids in the UK is meh. It has its moments, but overall it’s ok.
Highlights (with gifs):
Tea at Yaz’s (13 meets her in laws) (no tea tho)
Graham’s grief
Yaz’s mom (it’s Najia)
The birth of Thasmin as a ship (holy ship)
and the birth of Ryasmin (ew. Just... no)
Ed Sheeran (Donald Trump)
The S-word (Minivan sized!!!!)
Yaz’s no-homo speech
✨Team Tardis x✨
If you really want to watch it, I’ll recommend you the first 5 mins and the last 5 mins. But if you can’t bring yourself to even click it bcuz of the s-word, you can check out the gif sets here (amazing as always!!)

Honestly, Ryan wasn't even a bad companion he just wasn't utilised properly. His YouTube channel should've been a central part of his character. Maybe have him been the one to record everything. Maybe have him actually know Two Girls Roaming in Praxeus because he watched their videos or gets filming tips from them. His relationship with his dad should've been threaded throughout s11 so his appearance in Resolution stuck. Maybe he shouldn't have forgiven him in the person-forgives-neglectful-parent-because-family-can-do-no-wrong trope but chosen Graham as his new father figure so that 'call me grandad' actually hits harder. Maybe have Thirteen be his father figure instead, building on the way Ryan tends to follow her instructions the most out of the fam. His feelings about Grace should've been in the spotlight. Maybe have him find Grace in the alt universe. Maybe have him be the one to try and kill Tim Shaw. Maybe have him be the one dream about Grace in Can You Hear Me. Maybe take the Graham scenes and replace him with Ryan.. y'know.. Grace's whole grandson...? Maybe also address the fact his mum died and bc his dad left he was left all alone as a child??? And that should've been his Can You Hear Me nightmare instead of throwing in the dregs unprovoked?? His mechanic skills should've been a key trait too. Maybe have him fix the ship with Thirteen in Tsuranga instead of Yaz. Maybe have him, Tesla, and Thirteen talk about the joy of building and fixing things. Maybe have him go with Nevi and Silas in Orphan 55 to work together on mechanic stuff but also show Ryan's longing for a father-son relationship like theirs. (And make Yaz fight the dregs instead bc wasn't she the one with police training...).
His feelings for Yaz and Bella could've been sorted out properly. Maybe have Ryasmin for a few eps but stop bc space-time travel overcomplicates things or to set things up for Yaz' coming out and Thasmin. Maybe address the fact Bella likely died on Orphan 55 and have it cause tension between Ryan and Thirteen bc she refused to help her. And Ryan's Blackness. Maybe have Ryan be the one to disagree with the plan and try to help Rosa instead. Maybe have him explain who she is to the others instead of having the only Black guy in the cast not know who Rosa Parks is.
There was so much potential man. So so so so much...

Do you ship Yaz/Ryan? - Ryasmin anon 💞
I do! Last season I shipped the Doctor and Yaz very strongly, and I still do, but I love Yaz/Ryan as well. I probably ship Ryan and Yaz more though, cause I think they could make each other happy for a whole lifetime, whereas any ship with the Doctor ends tragically. Plus they would be so sweet together! 💕💖💘

Why I like them: she’s optimistic and just wants to help and it’s very warm-and-fuzzy
Why I don’t: Chibnall neglected to give her an arc or a plot
Favorite episode (scene if movie): how can I pick, even the episode theoretically about her barely had anything about her (let’s go Arachnids in the UK cos Khan Family Fun Times)
Favorite season/movie: the whole one season she’s in
Favorite line: u mean she got lines
Favorite outfit: I actually quite like her jackets besides the fluffy one
OTP: Thirteen
Brotp: I feel like she and Ryan could be a very entertaining brotp but they’re probably going to give us a nauseating couple with them instead
Head Canon: she had a bunch of crushes on teachers that she didn’t realise were crushes for like, five years
Unpopular opinion: only unpopular in some circles but if we only keep one companion of the three I want it to be her precisely because we’ve seen so little of her
A wish: please develop her in s12
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: Ryasmin
5 words to best describe them: motivated, optimistic, SEVERELY FUCKING UNDERDEVELOPED
My nickname for them: Yaz, cos we’re friends
Give me a character and I’ll answer these questions about them!
