Someone commiserate, please?

[timepiececlock]

I'm watching more Doctor/Rose vids. Godfuckingdammit, I'm going to miss my OTP. I'm still mourning, even though it's been a few weeks. I got more ridiculously attached to this pairing than I do most-- it's right up there with Buffy/Spike, John/Aeryn, and Mulder/Scully as my tv UltimateOTPs. And even worse, it's one of the few OTPs of mine where the couple is actually happy. That's not dysfunctional and slightly twisted. It's so frelling HAPPY and now my new Doctor Who episodes are going to be lacking in that great big piece of HAPPYLOVEFRIENDSHIPROMANCEADVENTURINGLOVE that made me bond with Doctor Who despite cheesy classic sci fi storylines and British accents. Fuck, this show made me love watching an entire weekly cast of British accents. And now my OTP is gone, gone, gone... and I love the show still and I love Ten but Rose is gone! Gone!

I just... GAH!

ROSE!

DOCTOR!


WHY MUST IT END, WHY?!


Edit 1- I suppose this constitutes a casting spoiler, the fact that Billie Piper leaves the series at the end of season 2 when her contract is up. I'm not going to cut for that casting spoiler, given that it's not a spoiler for the majority of my flist and everyone across the pond. However, SUBSEQUENT COMMENTS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR END OF SERIES 2.


Edit 2- To explain:

It's kind of like I'm seven again and someone tells me they've blown up Disneyland.

Sure, I'll get over it. Sure, I only got to visit the park a few times so its not like I lived there. Sure, I'll go to other theme parks. And sure, I'll grow up and someday won't even remember Disneyland anymore. But right now I want to cry because MY HAPPY PLACE IS GONE. The cotton candy has been taken away. NO MORE CAKE FOR RASHAKA.

...but I want the cake...

Rose is gone? Why is Rose gone?

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Do you want me to explain that? Huh. I thought everyone on my flist was aware of that at least as a casting spoiler. Sorry. Billie Piper leaves the series after the end of series 2, which has already aired in Britain a few weeks ago.

[stardreemer.livejournal.com]

I kind of fell out of Doctor Who once it stopped airing here, so I wasn't aware that Billie Piper was leaving. I don't mind knowing, because like you said it is more of a casting spoiler than anything else, I was just surprised to hear that she did leave.

Also? Your icon is very cute!

You should download the series 2 episodes. There's 13. I didn't like it quite as much as series 1 (it jumped around too much), but I loved individual things about it and the new Doctor is just as wonderful as the ninth Doctor.

I miss Doctor/Rose soooooo much. They are just...THE BEST. I honestly don't know if I can cope with the show without the Doctor/Rose shippiness...I will miss it too much!

Been WEEKS?

[rasielle.livejournal.com]

Damn. Doctor/Rose must've been something special... happy, eh?

((Wish I COULD commiserate, but I don't watch the show. Doesn't mean I can't offer my sympathy, though.))

*offers sympathy*

Try writing alternative endings? ((But it wouldn't be the same, I know.))

DO NOT SPEAK SUCH BLASPHEMY. DISNEYLAND IS ETERNAL.

That said... well, the thought of no cake makes me sad, so I suppose the thought of no more Doctor/Rose would make me sad as well, if I knew them. Does this count as commiseration? I hope so.

But you know what must make it worse? It WAS canon, and then it goes away because of a CASTING decision - so it wasn't exactly sitting on the horizon, was it?

Poor Rashaka. I just bought ice cream today; would you like some?

It WAS canon, and then it goes away because of a CASTING decision

A casting decision that's happened numerous times over 40 years of the television series being on the air (and in books and audios). ;)

No. More. Cake.!

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

I was gonna reply and say "Actually, it WAS sitting on the horizon the whole time..."

Re: No. More. Cake.!

[donna-c-punk.livejournal.com]

Are we talking about in terms of the revival or the series all together?

Cake or death? :)

Re: No. More. Cake.!

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

huh? I meant that the end of the Rose/Doctor relationship was always sitting on the horizon, given the nature of the show's basic set-up.


What kind of question is that? DEADLY CAKE, OF COURSE. I don't see why I can't have both.

Re: No. More. Cake.!

[donna-c-punk.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay. I get what you mean now.

TEA AND CAKE OR DEATH.

Re: No. More. Cake.!

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

DOES NOT COMPUTE. COMMA REQUIRED. TOO MANY OPTIONS. DANGER! DANGER!

Re: Been WEEKS?

[rasielle.livejournal.com]

*... knows nothing of the casting decision, apart from it being a casting decision that nixed the character of Rose*

My ignorance of Doctor Who and TV shows in general is showing. >__

Re: Been WEEKS?

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Well, I knew it would happen given the nature of the show. I'd just been hoping for 3 seasons with her.

Re: Been WEEKS?

[rasielle.livejournal.com]

Ahh. Well, the loss of a canon OTP is still pretty bad; so foresight or no, it still had an impact, it appears.

Just simply be... *points to icon*

Re: Been WEEKS?

Screwed that up. >(

[akavertigo.livejournal.com]

Come partake of the cookie of sadness with me!

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

But which should I partake of first?!


--though I'm already sad, so cookies it must be.

[akavertigo.livejournal.com]

And, as previously stated, there is no more cake.

No more cake for anyone.

You have reached the end of cake!

::falls to knees::

::screams::


KKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[akavertigo.livejournal.com]

Don't make me confiscate your knees.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure they're permanently attached.

[akavertigo.livejournal.com]

Never underestimate an idiot with a screwdriver and 2 1/2 engineers in the family.

[akavertigo.livejournal.com]

Also: I am totally not writing Vampverse dialogue.

Mostly for the sake of giving Katara an excuse to kick Zuko. In the knee.

I thought you should know.

[rashaka.livejournal.com]

Knee-kicking is good. So is shin-kicking.

[akavertigo.livejournal.com]

They've got a long road ahead of them, plenty of time for both.

[araceli-maura.livejournal.com]

dude, I'm not going to lie about it. Their relationship is what made me like the series so much. Ok, well, it was a huge draw for me. I don't think I would have stuck with it as long had their relationship been different. It's the WRITING, I swear, I blame everything on the writing and it being all perfect and perfectly sappy and fantastic. I loved everything about their relationship and I will continue to believe that Rose will one day find her way back to the Doctor and they'll go on more happy adventures.

I swear I don't really ever live in reality.

I know exactly how you feel. I'm so uber lame about that show sometimes, I swear. But nothing, no pairing, has ever struck that huge of a cord with me before. And I have nooo idea why. Again, I blame the writing. And probably the acting. But they were just so perfect and everything and just--blah. It won't be the same, and I'll move on and the like and still watch the show but I'll always have the "Well what about Rose, where's she right now" aspect going on in the back of my mind.

I'm a sap and really, it's painful to admit.
