Top 5 ships:

1) The Doctor x Rose Tyler from Doctor Who (I believe every incarnation of the Doctor would love Rose, but I especially ship incarnations Nine, Ten, Tentoo, Twelve with Rose)

2) Ty Borden x Amy Fleming from Heartland

3) Melinda Gordon and Jim Clancy from Ghost Whisperer

4) Alek Hardy and Rose Tyler from Broadchurch and Doctor Who, respectfully

5) Anne Shirley and Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables/Anne of Avonlea

Lipstick or Chapstick: neither, I usually rub a tiny dot of lotion on my lips. I only use lipstick (any makeup in general) on very rare/special occasions.

Last song: Rumor by Lee Brice (this gave me some serious doctor x rose vibes!)

Last movie: The American President (1995)

Last television show: Doctor Who (season 4, episodes 12 & 13)

Reading: fanfics are pretty much all I'm reading these days it seems. I'm actually rereading some favs, just finished 'I Was Here' and it's sequel 'Broadchurch Life' by mrsbertucci. Currently enjoying 'On The Rocks' by @badxwolfxrising

The random things that make me happy:

1) Cute, fluffy romantic fics! (These days, exclusively DW and/or Broadchurch related)

2) though I can't do so as often these days, hugs. I'm a very tactile person and love me some hugs! Hugging my daddy and my grandma, makes me especially happy!

3) seeing funny, uplifting, or random posts from my friends and mutuals!

Thanks for the ask! (And @kallianeira, too!)

First impression:

It was so long ago that it’s hard for me to remember my first reaction to Rose. I basically fell into the DW fandom at random in, like, 2012 and I never looked back. At that time, I wasn’t big into British television in general, so I was used to a very sanitized Los Angeles white-teeth-perfect-skin-tight-clothes kind of aesthetic. Add in the early 2000’s fashion and styling, and I was just completely baffled by it all.

I kept thinking, “Oh my god, you can see her pores! This actress has acne! Her clothes are so baggy! Her mascara is clumpy as hell! This is wild!” but it wasn’t so much of a judgment as a relief. It was, My mascara clumps! I have acne! It felt like, “Look. Look at this normal girl - beautiful, obviously, but normal. She’s traveling in time and space.” I especially loved that there wasn’t this faux-poor New York City young professional angle to the show, either. She was just a working-class girl with a passion to see the stars. And I fell in love with Rose as a character even more quickly than I fell in love with Nine or Ten.

Impression now:

She’s the reason I watch (and re-watch) the show. She’s the reason I read and write fanfic. To be honest, Rose Tyler is the heart of Doctor Who for me, and I don’t make apologies for that. I know everyone gets something different out of the show, but she’s essential to my watching/reading experience.

Favourite moment:

Countless moments??? I genuinely could not choose, because every single thing she does is a joy.

Idea for a story:

Currently, a lot of my ideas tie into her meeting Eight, but I have a one-shot idea for her, Jack, and Nine finding the Creature from the Black Lagoon in the TARDIS (whilst skinny dipping!) and it just needs to be written.

Favourite relationship:

Don’t make me choose between Nine x Rose and Ten x Rose. Please don’t make me. I can’t choose.

Nine x Rose was one of the first ships that I ever shipped. (Other than Delena, but please don’t get me started on Vampire Diaries, ever. Those were the Dark Times. I can’t think about them.) So, they have a soft and important place in my heart, and I’m constantly desperate to buy Nine and Rose more time together. But also, Ten x Rose has that fucking Billie and David dynamic that I’ve never seen replicated in any other media, ever.

Favourite headcanon:

I have two that I hold so sacred that they might as well be canon for any in-universe story I write.

1. Bad Wolf changed her biology. She’s going to live a looooong time. Plenty long enough to find her way back into the prime universe and meet up with, say, Twelve? Thirteen? Both? All???

Episode 3 is literally just "How I Met My Angel/Demon" and a summary of their slow-burn romance over the millennia

Assuming we’re on about Fred here? It’s (allegedly) supposed to be his hair above the forehead over his right eyebrow

that does make more sense, though I’m talking about someone else. I guess it’s just a hip spartan look to have that trendy grey-over-the-eyebrow thing going on

5. If you could pick any companion to travel with any Doctor, who would it be?

Although I know I'm not the first whovian to think of this, but I'd love to see Donna traveling with Nine and Rose! I think she and Rose would have so much fun together and I think the snarkiness between Nine and Donna would have us all in hysterics!

I also would love to see Rose with other Doctors (though my headcanon is that she met a few of them while dimension hopping!)

13. First story you saw on TV?

A friend encouraged me to watch DW, and I started with 'Rose'. I never really saw myself as a sci-fi lover or geek, but DW definitely changed that perspective of myself (and looking back on my life, I think I always have been a little bit. :D) Those first two episodes changed my life, cause I fell irrevocably in love with the Doctor (especially Nine!!! If you haven't noticed. ;p)

29. Thoughts on the current Doctor.

I actually haven't yet seen anything more than a few clips here and there of different episodes, so I'm afraid I can't answer this question very well. I really like the idea that the Doctor might be remembering Rose in this way (at least that's how I see it, anyway). (I actually haven’t seen anything but a few clips past the first half of season 5! I just can’t make my brain get past the idea that Rose is no longer with the Doctor!!! Welllllll, no longer with the TL Doctor anyway.)

I’ve been holding on to this ask because a) I didn’t know how to respond without sending you all of the hugging/hearts/sobbing/I love you gifs in the world, and b) it has made me happy to see this whenever I went into my inbox.

You are such a sweetheart. This ask made my entire day when I first read it, and it has made many days since. I am so, so happy you enjoyed that story and it invoked all of the emotions I was going for when I first wrote it.

Thank you so much for sending me this message <3 You’re amazing <3

ahhhhhh, i am so happy you like it and also i'm so pleased to have introduced you to one of my all time favorites!!! it's "comfort food" media at its finest. this pairing is just... gah.
