something about Rogue has truly grabbed me by the throat.
When Rose and Clara found out the Doctor could completely change their face, they got scared ("I keep forgetting he's not...human." "How do we change him back?"). When Rogue saw, his only reaction was complete and utterly besotted awe.
When they danced together, he placed his hand on his chest, feeling both hearts, and loved it so much he did it again as they kissed.
When Fifteen started planning the Chuldur's suffering, Rogue saw the fury of The Timelord and wasn't afraid of him. Only afraid for him.
When he sacrificed himself for Ruby, his only words were "Find me". He didn't doubt for a second that The Doctor would do whatever it takes to get him back.
And I think what it is is that Rogue loves The Doctor. Not just attracted to him, as so many have been. Because there's a reason why so many have been in the past. People like Madam De Pompadour, and Queen Elizabeth I, are attracted to the mystery of The Doctor, to how strange yet charming they are. They fall in love with the mask they put up.
But Rogue, he's not like that. He may have been attracted to the mask initially, but what won him over was the truth. In an episode all about cosplay, dressing up, and pretending, he can't improvise to save his life.
He saw past the easy smile, the joking exterior. He saw this broken, grieving, ancient alien, and said, "I love every part of him. and I'll wait for him. No matter how long it takes."
And, for a relationship played by two queer actors, written by potentially two queer women, and helmed by a queer showrunner, that's the greatest wish fulfillment a queer person could dream of. A partner who sees us at our worst, at our most potentially unattractive, and sees only beauty.
This episode makes me go insane guys, im sorry.

JONATHAN GROFF wins his first Tony Award for Lead Actor in a Musical as Franklin Shepard in the revival of Merrily We Roll Along
i'm so crazy about this
i've sort of lazily followed jonathan groff's career for a while (i.e. i was obsessed with frozen when i was 8 and i saw hamilton and since then i've known who he is but never really cared enough to properly actually *follow* him [in a career-watching way, not a stalkery one, promise]) but now, suddenly, a single episode of doctor who later, i'm very happy and emotional about him winning a tony and i cry "pookie!" anytime i see him.

Doctor Who 1.06 · Rogue
THEY'RE MY POOKIES I LOVE THEM SO BAD
haven't seen many people worried about rogue being trapped in some barren dimension with 5 very angry chuldur yet, but i thought i'd put my thoughts out there anyways.
rogue has absolutely convinced them all not to kill him in exchange for him creating stories and drama for them. rogue is now dungeon master for the chuldur family, and is stuck dming the longest, most chaotic dnd session ever played, while he waits for the doctor to find him.
they're very excitable and he's currently trying to convince them that the rules actually make the game more fun, and no, you can't just switch out your player character to play my dm npc instead, that ruins the stakes.

The End of Time // Rogue
i keep coming back to stare at this gifset it's so beautiful
man who has been thinking about the doctor and rogue a normal amount.
went looking for a doctor x rogue playlist to listen to on my way to work but apparently there aren't any yet... might have to make one myself.
here's the thing. as a longtime doctor x jack harkness shipper, i am so happy about the doctor having a canon male love interest. however... i cannot take this anguish anymore........
