AHHH! Fic, I stab at thee!!

Rose? You are a confusing person at times. Especially during S1. With Mickey. Not with Mickey. Kinda likes the Doctor. "Available." Highly flirtatious with the Doctor. Back with Mickey but runs after the Doctor. Not with Mickey.

No wonder the Doctor was a mess about it all during S1. *cough*BoomTown*cough*

The Mickey string-along was I think one of Rose's bigger flaws, and one I have a really hard time getting my head into. I mean, I do completely get it from a meta-type standpoint, but trying to figure out the internal narrative for fic purposes that goes along with it? ACK.

Maybe I should just switch the POV to Nine, and he and I can both be confused.

ETA: This is all because of a few lines in a FLUFF fic. Yes, I am exactly that neurotic.

Oh, totally totally. As much as I'd sometimes cringe and want to shake Rose or Mickey (or both) depending on the scene, it really rang true. People get involved in relationship drama like this, and when you're in the middle of it you can't really see things very logically. And overall, I do appreciate that Rose wasn't this virginal cherub, sitting around waiting for some white knight to take her off on his blue horse. She's a very real person with real foibles and a real life.
