I've seen post-JE fic run the gamut from weddings and babies to Cloen becoming Rose's gay BFF to Cloen dying of metacrisis. LMAO PRAY TELL WHERE THIS FIC IS
YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW THE HORRORS I'VE SUFFERED, MY FRIEND. There's also the famous flower cock fic. I CAN'T MAKE SUCH STUFF UP.
Right, but that's the thing -- Rose more or less devoted her life to getting back to the Doctor, while the Doctor had an extreme moment of suicidal grief and then got about moving on.
lol he tried to drown himself while genociding spider baby aliens though. Rose probably would never try genociding stuff as a coping mechanism.
In all serious though, it's hard for me not to see Rose all over Ten's post-S3 and post-Doomsday arc. He was shitty to Martha because she wasn't Rose! He tried to cure the Master with cuddles because of his loneliness! He enacted torment on the Family of Blood because he's so full of fire and ice and rage! Like... S3 Ten is so delightfully messed up and kind of crazy and there is no way that season would have gone down that way if Rose hadn't fallen into another world.
I guess I see it as... Rose made the Doctor the centre of her life (lbr though all companions do this to some extent) and, no, it's not really vice-versa for the Doctor. But I think post-Time War, Rose became an emotional crutch for the Doctor and so after she was gone, he became delightfully unhinged. Like as bad a sales pitch it is to thrust your genocidal clone at your lady love and then run away, there's this weird twisted logic in Ten thinking Rose can "fix" him if he's full of blooodandangerandrevenge because in his mind, that's what she does for him.
