#just A Married Couple Leaning On One Another For Love, Strength, And Support

You know I’m 12 minutes older than you.

Imagine consciously choosing to hate a character that is basically the symbol of the series. The one most widely known, even by non-watchers. One that is so loved by GRRM, D&D, the general audience and by avid fans. The one that is also Ramin Djawadi’s fave and inspired some of his best works (Mhysa? Dracarys? Winds of Winter? Dragonstone? And so many others…). The one that is not only a great feminist icon, but also constantly tries to change social inequality and cares for those in need. The one that currently holds the biggest army and power on the series, and still remains sensible, kind and gentle. The one that was actually able to bring three motherfucking dragons to the world. The one that is said to be the most beautiful woman in the world. The one that is followed, loved and adored by so many people, including the beautiful and honorable Jon Snow. The one that can successfully intimidate even her strongest opponents. The one that is played by the incredible human being that is Emilia. One that is one the most iconic female characters in tv’s history.

Damn, it can’t be easy being a dany anti, we gotta give them that lol. No wonder some of them are so blindly hateful and keep reaching for the stars to find reasons to turn her into a monster.

Thank god I can’t relate.

When Suzie left Torchwood, she was on the run. She wiped all her records. I couldn't retrieve her files. She was good at computers.

Viserys had been stupid and vicious, she had come to realize, yet sometimes she missed him all the same. Not the cruel weak man he had become by the end, but the brother who had sometimes let her creep into his bed, the boy who told her tales of the Seven Kingdoms, and talked of how much better their lives would be once he claimed his crown.

Does it ever hit you that Martha sat down in New New York and told the Doctor that she needed his honesty more than she needed to go home and that religious music played in the background at that scene and it was almost framed as a confession, in the most religious sense, and go a little bit feral? That as early as her third episode, she was framed as his equal, equally divine, equally a doctor, able to confront him, able to make him honest, able to sympathize with him, able to abide with him? That so few companions have ever spent so much time in one time period with the Doctor (1969/1913, for example), being with him/her, not running, just staying? That for every fucking thing Ten did wrong as John Smith/after coming back to himself in Human Nature/Family of Blood, he trusted her enough to leave himself vulnerable and human in her care, because he trusted her as a Doctor, because she was just as much a Doctor as he was? That Martha was, more than any other companion of the Tenth Doctor's, his equal, that her final speech about not being second was not just talking about her not being second best to Rose but about being second best to him? That she finally understood what had been true from the moment that they met and she closed Stoker's eyes and the Doctor realized that she had not just bravery and cleverness but a kindness that he had forgotten, that Martha Jones, more than anything else, has been and always will be The Doctor?
