doctor who is a big franchise without one single coherent narrative, I normally cope with having incompatible ships just by... not thinking about them at the same time lol. (by which I mean I like doctorriver and I like doctorromana and I like doctor-doesn’t-do-romance, and I like them all as premises for different stories, and when I’m reading/watching one type of story I understand that it’s separate from the others.)
this becomes difficult when you manage to associate the same poem with more than one of your incompatible ships.
#it's alex kingston's fault she has no right to read 'to his coy mistress' so beautifully#when it's also such an excellent source for doctorromana#but! this poem has the saving grace that it is about two different pairs of lovers#the imaginary immortal lovers who *can* take an age at least to every part and the last age should show your heart etc#and the mortal lovers who cannot afford that time#they're both beautiful and on a *meta* level the poem actually does perfectly encapsulate why I ship both ships#but still. i don't want to be thinking about my sevenromana fic when I'm listening to the ending of 'World Enough and Time'#(the sixriver audio not the tv episode of the same name)#always going insane about this poem!!#andrew marvell cinematic universe

don't look, its a 3 am observation my mind noticed before i fell asleep that i drafted in a cold sweat.
time to make a hot observation take ive noticed in every corner of dw: 'any ship that isnt doctorrose is inferior because ours is canon! we won!' so was doctorromana and doctorcharley and doctorriver but then i see how yall blantly ignore how and thoschei and doctordonna outlived them both because the doctor treats them more of a romance than the literal romantic interests yall shove at them that rivals the same energy as the evil stepmother cutting off the toes and heels of her children to fit in the glass shoe. the shoe wont stop the bleeding and at this point i dont think billie is gonna return as rose.
i think from the moves she making outside of dw, she gonna comeback as villainess the rani and yall are gonna get pissy because 'if it aint the typecast then dont come back.' dont act like i aint witness the same people that was happy billie was back turned right back around to insulting her voice because she wasnt playing rose like they been waiting to for her to do and automatically go 'oh its rose its just xyz' like genderless entity simply known as girl, if thats rose then rose got reduced to an atomic bomb as a little kitchy box you can buy at hobby lobby on tv as an anniversary event and i know damn well at that point - you don't want rose back. you want your yt self insert back. because those same people would then hate thasmin, hate the concept of doctormartha, hate anyone outside of that paring because doctorrose canon. doctorrose aint canon because the alien left her behind FOUR TO THREE times FOUR TO THREE TIMES. THEY MADE US CRY ABOUT HIM LEAVING HER BEHIND FOUR TO THREE TIMES.
bad wolf/parting of ways like sir you still left and your plan was to leave her anyway because thats your damn emergency protocol: make sure to leave rose behind, GIRL IN THE FIREPLACE like he was just flirting AND GETTIN DRUNK LIKE HE LEFT HER BWHIND AND WAS FULL READY TO JUST SET SHOP IN PARIS WITH NO TARDIS JUST LIKE HIS THIRD AND 8TH SELF HE WAS GONNA LEAVE HER BEHIND. FULL STOP, doomsday because lets be real the doctor has broken through the rift for less than that more than once in his past - he chose not to do it again because she said 'so?' after hearing what was gonna happen. his choice, AND THEN JOURNEYS END HE CHOSE TO SAY DOES IT NEED SAYING.
like thats not a win, that doesnt scream canon. that screams - aw one of the john smiths finally got to be with his dream journal mystery girl and i the alien get to keep traveling and never confess my love and marry anyone and everyone else but that specific yt girl that everyone and their great great grandma selfinsert to make them feel better enough to ignore that the very ship they heralded legitmately robbed a whole year of earthwide torment had 10 not played that hot and cold flirting bullshit to martha A WEEK? after losing rose wheee.
yall tend to fly extremely fast to hate river the second lets kill hitler dropped because as soon as that dropped, yall really got louder in hating river more the second after the reveal that amy and rory's black friend was river song/their kid. like now its died down but whew. yall didnt like that and at the point where all of yall were at the cusp of warming up to liking her because it beats literally anyone else from returning to reprise a former role.
like the writing was messy but yall attitudes shifted to rivaling the oil in the ocean as soon as yall learned her prev face was black.
i dont like the animosity you have towards rose. girl rose tyler is so bland the whole fandom took one glance at hannah baxter: professional sex worker named belle du jour from sdoacg and went: thats our rose tyler now and made the literal rose marion tyler a barbie fashionista collectible to say they were there that day when it dropped. like its not my fault yall got a hivemind when it comes to rose that your go to is [any billie piper character > rose tyler] × the doctor.
sorry. im sorry that yall got lulled into systematic microaggresive racism that made the best of yall the worst simply because the ppl that acting as ur favs are cutie patooties. but im not sorry for noticing in silence as a poc 👽 over the years and writing this out
anyway if billie is coming back on dw on screen, let her come back as the rani. i miss the rani and by what ive seen in i hate suzie, rare beasts, beast, eternal beauty, city of tiny lights, collateral, playhouse presents: foxtrot, true love: holly, penny dreadful, sdoacg, catherine called birdy - billie has the fucking range to be literally not rose tyler again. let rose and tentoo and mia chill in their house that i swear i swear i promise its their tardis i deadass think thats their tardis given what we've seen in journey to centre of the tardis and literally the master's tardis in spyfall that was also a fucking house which just shows how vast and possible it would be for that to be the case. let the house we saw them in flashbacks in the empire of the wolf comic be their tardis please please please please please.

I’m just going to spew some random thoughts now. In my headcanon the Doctor has only been truly deeply in love four times, and he’s scandalized the Time Lords worse every time.
1. Susan’s grandmother. A prim and restrained relationship by most standards, but more openly affectionate than most Time Lords. They Loom their kid(s) like proper Time Lords, but they think it hilarious to kiss in public and make everyone uncomfortable. But they grow apart later as the Doctor gets more restless and unhappy with Gallifreyan life.
2. Romana. Still an acceptable pairing by Time Lord standards, but even more openly affectionate than he was with his first love, plus the adrenaline junkie thing where danger makes them feel so alive and close to each other. Not a very physical relationship (since they’re both Time Lords after all), but everyone back home would be mortified by their creative use of telepathy.
3. Charley. How scandalous! A proper Time Lord would never fall for a member of a lesser species. The deepest emotional connection the Doctor’s had. Still not sexual, but super physically affectionate (I mean obviously, since it’s Eight), with tons of cuddling and hand-holding (which almost makes up for Charley’s inability to engage in inappropriate uses of telepathy).
(Ok, Rose is canon, but the way I see it he just latched onto the first person who could meet his emotional needs after the War. It wasn’t true love. He realized it once he’d had some time to recover: when he left her with TenToo, he admitted that their relationship was about her fixing him.)
4. River. Is she even a recognized species? An utterly unacceptable match. And even worse, she wants sex and he’s willing to figure it out if it makes her happy. (If the Time Lords were still around they’d die of shame to see one of their august and determinedly asexual number doing...that.) But mostly he loves the excitement and mystery surrounding her. Less soulmates, more about the thrills.

FAQ
(thank you @heimeldat for the banner!)
What is this?
A prompt week celebrating the pairing Doctor/Romana from the Doctor Who universe by creating and sharing themed fanworks!
When is it?
Official posting days will be April 8-14, 2024. Prompts will be released well before then so you have time to prepare if you want, and if you miss the official week, go ahead and post anyway - I'll reblog late fanworks for the rest of April.
What fanworks are allowed?
Anything! That means fic, art, graphics, vids, meta, crafts, fanmixes, reclists, and anything else you can think of. And obviously they should prominently feature Doctor/Romana as a ship :)
If you submit a reclist (list of recommendations of other people's fannish creations that fit the day's prompt), please add at least a short description of why you're recommending each work.
Please submit new fanworks, broadly construed; a new entry in an ongoing fic series, a finished version of a fanmix you've previously shared an early draft of, or a reclist containing a couple of works you've recced before would be fine, but just submitting a work you've already made and posted some time ago doesn't really fit the spirit of a prompt week. I won't be policing this, though.
How do I submit a work?
Post it, or a link to it, here on Tumblr and tag it #doctor/romana prompt week. I will be tracking that tag and will reblog all works in it to this blog.
What are the rules about NSFW and potentially triggering content?
You have control over what you choose to create, but we do ask that you include a warning if your fanwork contains material that is Not Safe for Work or fits any of AO3's archive warnings (graphic depictions of violence, major character death, rape/non-con, underage sex; or if you choose not to warn). Examples of how you could include this warning would be by tagging your Tumblr post #nsfw (or another relevant warning tag), by copying an AO3 header that includes a warnings section, or by creating your own header with a warnings section.
If your fanwork is hosted on Tumblr (rather than the Tumblr post just linking to it), please put any material that is NSFW or fits any of AO3's archive warnings under a cut.
For potentially triggering material that does not fit one of these categories, please use your best judgment to offer appropriate tags and warnings. As you browse the prompt week blog, please bear in mind that you may encounter material that you find upsetting or do not wish to see, and please use your own precautions and judgment.
Is there an AO3 collection?
Yes, if you want to post your works to AO3 you can post them to this collection! The collection will open shortly before the prompt week begins However, you are also free to host them anywhere else or directly on Tumblr. The prompt week is based on Tumblr.
Do I have to participate every day?
By no means! You are welcome to participate as many or as few days as you like. However, there will be celebratory graphics for completists who post something every day!
So what are the prompts?
Glad you asked! Here is a link to the post with this year's prompts.
Wait, who are you anyway?
I (Mod Aurelia) am usually to be found @lurking-latinist. If you would like to help out with the prompt week in some way, send me a message there!
I have another question.
Drop us an ask!

Welcome to the Doctor/Romana Prompt Week! Remember that all types of fanwork are welcome, and late posting is allowed - the themed days are just a place to start.
That being said, today’s theme, aptly enough, is:
Firsts!
First meeting? First kiss? Starring Romana I? Take the prompt in any direction you like, and tag it #doctor/romana prompt week and/or tag us in the post!

Today’s Doctor/Romana prompt is
Angst and/or Fluff!
Interpret these prompts however you want, literally or not: you could put together an angsty fanmix or draw some sweet and adorable art. Or you could write a story where they deal with a third character’s angst, or make a craft with fluffy yarn… Anywhere your imagination takes you!
