It baffles me

[preserved_ginger]

I honestly am baffled how people can jump so easily from being a Ten/Rose fangirl to being a Ten II/Rose fangirl without appearing to bat an eyelid.

Another thing I find distinctly off-putting is the idea that everything in the garden’s rosy in terms of Ten II/Rose and their relationship and that they’re both immediately gonna fall head-over-heels in love with each other. One kiss does not madly in love two people make, even a kiss like that one. Meh.

I had to write Ten2 before I could believe in him. I really had to get in there inside his head and live with him a while, but once I did I found myself grudgingly and gradually accepting him and I've surprised myself with how much I want this to be a happy ending for them. Because I never thought I'd get here when I was sitting there stunned on the couch watching that beach scene.

I won't stop shipping Ten/Rose or writing it. But same as I write Nine/Rose, I'm open to writing Ten2/Rose and loving them all in different ways. I just look at it as another step forward after accepting the change from Nine to Ten. I know that's hard for many, but the Doctor is an ever-changing character. Always has been. As a long-time fan of Classic Who, I accepted that long ago.

And Rose/Ten2 has the potential for happiness in canon and I don't see that potential there anymore for Rose/Ten except in AU fic. Breaks my heart, but I don't.
