When or if I started shipping it: “I could save the world but lose you,” also known as: the exact moment I went from ‘not going to play the writers’ game with main character ship teasing’ to ‘OTP FOREVER.’
My thoughts: These two still *are* DW to me. Seasons 3&4 were ‘the Doctor without Rose’ not about the Doctor and anyone but her. Moff Who just isn’t enough Who enough for me because it’s not about the Doctor and Rose anymore.
What makes me happy about them: How they make each other into the best versions of themselves; the happiest, strongest, most whole, and just best versions of who they can be.
What makes me sad about them: That the basic structure of the show wouldn’t allow them to have a real happy ending. And that in trying to have his cake and eat it too, RTD wrote a happy ending that was really unsatisfying.
My favourite scene with them: SO MANY CHOICES. If I had to pick just one...I don’t know how, but the closing scenes of The Satan Pit, from “I believe in her” to the reunion hug, to “the stuff of legends” it’s all great.
My least favourite scene with them: Most scenes in GitF where Rose is expected to roll over and let the Doctor run around with Reinette.
The biggest challenge to their relationship: Moffat feeling the need to one up Rusty is terms of special romance. He totally missed to point of what made Doctor/Rose work naturally, but his version of how it should work tries to put down the version that actually did.
Things done in fanfic that annoys me: Too much preference for Nine or Ten over the other, similarly ignoring the emotional trauma of the end of JE and have Rose and Cloen go on as if things are just clean and easy.
Things I look for in fanfic: Them being happy and together and having fun while all is right with the world. As Mckey would say “The Doctor, in the TARDIS, with Rose Tyler.”
Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I don’t hate the Cloen/Rose ending, but I don’t think I’ll ever be really okay with it. I can handle Doctor/Master in a messy codependent arrangement. And either of them with Jack as long as the third member of the trio is still important (Doctor/Rose leaving Jack behind I can handle, either of them letting go of the other especially while with Jack, not acceptable).
My happily ever after for them: Dark-Ten either stopped them from being separated in Doomsday or the meta crisis from happening, either way there end up being just two of them to worry about and they spend their lives being awesome together.
What I think will happen with them in the future: At the moment, that Moffat will fail to understand or write hem very well in the 50th special.
