Rose Tyler: Girl Adventurer

May 11, 2008 17:28

It’s tough to be a Rose fan these days. After reading some posts labeling Rose Tyler as “a dumb blonde”, a “chavvy dumb blonde shopgirl”, or arguing that Rosefen don’t love Rose as a character and view her only as an appendage to the Doctor, I decided to write this to offer a different viewpoint. One of the fun (or not so fun, depending on your ( Read more... )

with everyone else's in depth comments I feel a bit lame leaving a short one.

But I will say that you have completely captured my feelings for Rose....
And that I too am in agreement with you and 1ucifer that the majority of the hatred is generated from the fact that the Doctor did in fact love Rose.

I too love Rose Tyler, and I love Rose Tyler with the Doctor, and to be honest, I squeal with each and ever appearance (no matter how microscopic) of hers in the new season

Thanks for reading! =) It sucks that love interests usually get judged by harsher standards, but it's nice to know that there are tons of people out there who love her anyway. =D And I totally squee at all of her appearances too! xD

I remember watching 'Rose' for the first time and thinking, "This Eccleston chap is all right, but Rose is top notch". Just thank you so much for putting into words how great and terrific Rose Tyler is. :3

Hee! I was the same way! She really got me into the story and I'll always have a soft spot for her. =D Thanks for reading!

Beautiful meta! No, Rose wasn't perfect; she was real. She was young, and she was impulsive, and she was in love. She was also brave and true and smart. She's the type of girl I wish I'd been at her age. She made her mistakes and learned from them, and she never let anyone else tell her what she should do or who she should be. I loved her for that. Still do.

Thank you! She was definitely real to me, and being a 20 year old myself, she was so age-appropriate it made me ache. Love her to pieces. <3
