okay this may be little too specific but. rb this and put in the tags a character you get defensive over. not as in “they deserve better” but as in “i know them better than anybody else does” <3

I’m sorry, but he’s dead.

You don’t just give up. You don’t just let things happen. You make a stand. You say “no”! You have the guts to do what’s right when everyone else just runs away!

Rose Tyler - Doctor Who

FAVE CHARACTER LIST (8/?)

Rose Tyler in every episode

It’s been 12 years since the episode 13 of the season 1 of Doctor Who (2005) aired I still think that the Bad Wolf scene is the most awesome thing I have ever seen. Seriously what Rose did for the Doctor is to me the most badass and brave thing a character has ever done in a movie or tv show.

My name is Rose Tyler

What I Learned From Rose Tyler

Rose Tyler certainly isn’t the only Doctor Who companion that I love, but she is very special to me. She’s the character who made me fall in love with the show, and she taught me a lot of important lessons.

1. Being in love is not a weakness. When a female character has a love story aspect to her narrative, it’s SO tempting for people to dismiss her as a ‘love interest’. But if you do that with Rose Tyler, you’re missing SO much about who she is as a person and what her arc is. Rose’s story is all about the journey to becoming a hero. And yes, there is a love story there. It’s a beautiful one and it doesn’t take anything away from who she is as a person. Being in love doesn’t make a person weak. It doesn’t make a female character weak. It’s ok to be in love!

2. It’s ok to be selfish. I think this is an important one for women to hear because SO often we’re encourage to put our families first and it isn’t BAD to do things for those you loved. Not at all! But you shouldn’t sacrifice your happiness for the sake of other people. Even though her mother wanted her to stay at home, Rose knew she wouldn’t be happy there so although she loved her

3. Scholastic success does not define your value as a person. Rose left school at the age of 16 after she took her GCSEs. She didn’t pursue higher education, but fuck you if you think that makes her stupid. She wasn’t. Rose was clever. She noticed things other people didn’t and she was quick to put two and two together.

4. Compassion does not make you weak. Rose Tyler cared about other people. She was kind and noticed when other people were hurting. But that doesn’t mean that she didn’t also save the world.

5. Coming from a so-called disadvantaged background does not make you a less worthy person. Rose grew up on a council estate and was working a low wage job in a shop. But she didn’t let that define her as someone not worthy of great things. Instead she took the chance to see the universe and she became the kind of person who earned the respect of UNIT.

6. It’s ok to not know what you want to do with your life, but once you figure out what it is you want to do, don’t be afraid to go after it! One of the reasons I fell in love with Rose was because when we first meet her, she’s kind of just going through the motions of life. She doesn’t know what she actually wants. And I related to that SO much. Because even though she doesn’t know what she wants, she eventually figures it out and won’t let anyone take it away from her. I love it! Rose pursues what she wants to do with her life wholeheartedly and it’s fantastic.
