And by shipping, it can be romantic or “just mates.” Just bring her back (and fix her). Or better yet, have her fix herself.

ten: you're brilliant! you're lovely! save your wiles for me please. look at me, I'm a decent man too! no man will ever be good enough for my donna. i want some smooches, please pay the love toll. oh, donna's hugging me! yay! my donna. *gets cuteness aggression over seeing donna in his coat*

Gurl, it’s literally Only You and your low self esteem is making you blind to it 😭 LITERALLY one of my main headcanons that she’s correctly read that he’s not really ever romantic— but she’s the exception and she’s just utterly blind to it lol. “Oh he’s never after any pretty girls” yeah that’s because you’re his wife ma’am. “That’s not what he’s about” correct but you’re the person he wants by his side for every moment of his life

"he's never after any pretty girls," that's because he's too busy giving you heart eyes. you're literally the center of his world, the most important woman in his universe! the man literally thought you were more beautiful than the creation of the Earth 😭

Yeah actually can we talk about that?

thereupon I will kiss thee

a minute and a half of the Doctor and Donna pretending to be a married couple and being extremely awkward, embarrassing, and quite adorable actually

also according to the book RTD wrote apparently he actually planned s4 to have a serious romantic connection between the Doctor and a “Donna-esque” companion… and that plan was changed when Catherine was cast to be on the show 🙃

This scene killed me when I read it for the first time… But as much as it’s heartbreaking, I think that anyone who loved Donna and her friendship with the Doctor would love to get to read this letter. I’ve scanned the paged from the book, sorry for poor quality…

“I had so many places I wanted to take you… Thank you. Thank you, Donna Noble. It’s been brilliant.”
