I think post-s3 Ten deals with Martha in a way similar to how he daels with Gallifrey and the War, which is "I FEEL GUILTY AS SHIT SO I AM NEVER GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT". He does admit to Donna that he was a douchebag to Martha, so I think he realizes and feels guilty and doesn't really know what to do with that. Plus I think realizing he hurt Martha and put her through hell plays into that whole NO COMPANIONZ EVER AGAIN~ thing as much as losing Donna and Rose does.

Or at least that's what I tell myself, idk.
michelemiss_mishi on June 8th, 2009 05:05 am (UTC)
No I totally agree with you. He counts himself as having lost all three of them. Rose to the parallel world, Donna to her memory, and Martha to his own cruelty.

Which just makes me love the doctor more.

Kali: does it need saying?_thirty2flavors on June 8th, 2009 05:10 am (UTC)
Yeah, it's not like he doesn't pay for his mistakes. I'm alwys a little bemused by people who complain about him being too emo and shit. I would be pretty damn emo in his place, tyvm.

And in his little spiel in TND I'm assuming Martha is the one that left "because she should", so like... I dunno, I forget where I was going with this. I think I was just blabbing on because my corner of fandom tends to neglect Martha and that makes me sad. And that's also why I should write moar Martha.
michelemiss_mishi on June 8th, 2009 05:11 am (UTC)
All corners of fandom tend to ignore martha except for the batshit ones who like write fic about the TARDIS wanting Martha and Ten to be together and all the hot TARDIS shower sex they have or something.

Which is why I tend to stay out of the whodom.

too batshit for me.

.....ew

Ten going at it with anyone is just...ew
michelemiss_mishi on June 8th, 2009 05:14 am (UTC)
A lot of it has GOT to be crack. Right? Like people who ship Nine/Donna or something. IDK.
Lizbazcat89 on June 8th, 2009 05:16 am (UTC)
I am much less grossed out by the concept of Nine!sexings.

Nine and Donna would sooo not get along. Like, at all.
Kali: better with two_thirty2flavors on June 8th, 2009 05:17 am (UTC)
It's funny cause Nine -- or at least Nine/Rose sexin' -- is so DNW for me.

I dunno about that. I think Donna would hit it, ngl.
Lizbazcat89 on June 8th, 2009 05:21 am (UTC)
Well I am more okay with the idea of Nine sexing around than Ten.

DONNA WOULD HIT IT SO HARD but I think their personalities would clash
Kali_thirty2flavors on June 8th, 2009 05:22 am (UTC)
I can't decide if I think they would argue or if he'd be impressed by her spunk.
Lizbazcat89 on June 8th, 2009 05:25 am (UTC)
I think he'd be impressed, but after a while he'd be like OMG STFU I'M TRYING TO THINK AND I CAN'T DO THAT WITH YOU YAMMERING ON IN MY EAR and she's be like OI! and things would go rapidly downhill from there.
Kali_thirty2flavors on June 8th, 2009 05:16 am (UTC)
I read a fic the other day and it was basically all about how the TARDIS hated Martha

my face was basically D:

This fandom has a disturbing lack of gen. I watch marriedonmars for good Donna gen and there isn't any; Frances watches lifeonmartha for good Martha gen and there isn't any.
michelemiss_mishi on June 8th, 2009 11:52 am (UTC)
genfic exists in the whoverse?!?! say it isn't so!
