(no subject)

If in commenting on an RTD interview about Torchwood (and only about Torchwood) you bring up Rose and her Mary-Sue-ing ways, you are irrefutably more obsessed with Rose than I am. And I'm a Doctor/Rose shipper.

Seriously. Completely, utterly obsessed. Ten years from now you'll still be whinging about Rose, won't you?

Isn't Rose brilliant? ROSE ROSE ROSE ROSE ROSE! :D

I can definitely understand people thinking she's perfect. It's a bit weird when they obsess over my wife like that, I get worried I'm going to have to jump in and do something about it (which would be time far better spent cuddling Rose... NOT THAT I HAD A ONE TRACK MIND) but I suppose it's no worse than all the strange people who want to kiss me.

I'm not surprised, because it always happens, but I'm still rolling my eyes!

*facepalm*

GOD PEOPLE, WE GET IT!!! You liked a guy once, but he was interested in/hung up on another girl. STOP BLAMING A FICTIONAL CHARACTER FOR HIS FAILURE TO FALL FOR YOU.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Okay, you are probably the one person who's more obsessed with her than they are. But only just. XD

It still manages to surprise me because THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT A DIFFERENT SHOW!

I'm responding in the ONTD thread and people are bitching about his line about devalueing it if he brings you-know-who back with, what about Rose?! And I'm all like (logically), Rose didn't die. One person tried to argue with me, but I used such superior mad logic skillz that she gave up on that.

Oh, and when I claimed how much I loved RTD, I was told "of course because I'm a Rose fan." Knocked that one down with yeah, and a Nine, Ten, Donna, Harriet, Gwen, Tosh, Pete, Wilf fan. Bottom-line, I'm an RTD fan, love his characterization. Knocked that one out. Hah! Take that, Rose-haters hating on my man, Rusty!

SERIOUSLY.

*Frowns* Well, I don't like to call it an obsession that sounds rather unhealthy. I mean, if she's my wife, is thinking about her a lot really a strange thing?

It's all the strange blokes that seem to think Ms Vitex Heiress is after a divorce and wants to marry them that worry me. Well, I was only worried when one of them sent a love letter.

Whenever I see stuff about Torchwood and feel inclined to read it in a non TW specific comm, I try to guess how many comments in it'll be before someone complains about Rose. Usually about five...

So would bringing Donna back devalue her mind wipe? Apples and oranges.

Ooooh! A Rose fan. Harsh, man.

I think you're doing just fine. Ignore the nutters.

:D

Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'm overdue a hug from someone.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds about right.

[identity profile] arabian.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I know!!!!!! Apparently in their minds, THE. WORST. INSULT. EVER! Gasp! A Rose fan.

Seriously, so doesn't work for me though because of all of those characters I listed, Rose is my least favorite of them. I mean, I still love her and all and she's totally awesome-sauce, but I like those above characters better.

I guess even if you only mildly enjoy Rose, you're still a tween fangirl without a lick of sense in your brain.

What, what, what now?

Humph. I think I liked it better when people were saying Doctor Who was dead to them because Eleven is wearing suspenders.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you sure the suspenders thing didn't devolve into Rose-bashing? Because apparently it doesn't take much. Discussion about the weather would probably do it.

[identity profile] principia-coh.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, but he has a legal right to be obsessed.

[identity profile] principia-coh.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
It's the Godwin's Law/Reductio ad Hitlerum of Whoniverse fandom:

As any discussion about any Doctor Who-related media grows longer, the probability of a complaint about Rose Tyler and/or her relationship with the Doctor approaches 1.

Of course, people forget the related corollary:

Once such a complaint is made, the thread is finished and whoever brought up unexpected!Rose has automatically "lost" whatever debate was in progress.

Maybe we should call it Davies' Law?

Clearly, and I must be a total dimbulb because I definitely more than "mildly enjoy" her. I just don't understand some people. What's the pointing on hating on people because they love a character? It just makes no sense.

Reductio ad Tylerum.

I love it.

[identity profile] arabian.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, Billie DID wear suspenders in that one photoshoot, so obviously THERE IS A CONNECTION AND IT'S ALL ROSE'S FAULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seeing that you both used this icon has completely made my day, except for the Pepsi I spit onto my monitor.

You forgot MY DADDY DIDN'T LOVE ME AND RAN OFF WITH A SKANK. I've seen that one a *disturbing* number of times. Dear Doctor Who fandom: the Doctor is not your father.
