But do you know what I mean? Obviously, being romantically involved with someone in a real relationship is new to him - his vulnerability explained in this fic shows that. But his vulnerability stems from the notion that it’s her that will go off and find something better. He’s completely insecure in his awesomeness around her. So it makes me wonder how often he tries not to emphasis his age and his knowledge around her. Because he could be babbling constantly and talking about how amazing he is - because he’s not necessarily bashful about it - but in doing that, could he also be holding back such an amazing amount of awesomeness as to not completely frighten her away?
Not that I truly think this, or that you at all show or point this out in Chaosverse, but it was just an interesting thought I had, and wondered what your opinion was on it.
This line always confused me, “So. Do you mind me showing me?” Is it a typo?
The line “lupin-wavelength haemovariform” didn’t make me grin until Dean complains to Rose at the end, “why do you keep calling it that - it’s just a werewolf,” because I couldn’t help but think the same thing. Is Rose just used to following the Doctor’s lead? Because I can honestly imagine Rose saying that very line (what Dean said to her) to the Doctor when he used bigger words than necessary. Isn’t this sort of like the line, “he would rather give you a 300 word speech than say “I love you”.” To me, it was a bit out of character for Rose to refer to it as anything other than werewolf, because I think part of what makes Rose so easily likeable is our ability to connect with her. So I was trying to find a justification, other than just to give Dean the line of sounding normal, instead of it being Rose. Perhaps there is a missing scene between Rose and the Doctor, where Rose does in fact, ask him that very question as to why he doesn’t just simply refer to it as “werewolf” and we can understand then why Rose makes the effort not to call it that in the end.
The penises, penes, penii conversation has to be a favorite of mine. I think it’s the comfort level that you have Rose and the Doctor conversing - it’s so natural, so rhythmic, so intelligent, and you can tell that both participants get equal enjoyment out of the banter - it’s fabulous. I love that the Doctor is simply bemused by it, I gather, and that Rose feels the need to double check him on if he’s “sure it’s not penii”. *giggles* Such a fun moment.
What actually did happen to the werewolf? Did he disintegrate? Rose had a gun of silver bullets, so I guess they had planned for the worst to happen as well. I liked the small moment into Rose’s mind where she admits that she’s not sure how accurately she can shoot. I find it hilarious that the Doctor just pawns off the weapon to her and assumes that she’ll follow through if the werewolf attacks him? Since he was planning on strolling up to the wolf to talk to it the whole time? I don’t necessarily see this as Rose carrying a gun - honestly, I just figured since it was a werewolf, the sonic screwdriver might not save the day. LOL. Maybe if the sonic screwdriver was made out of silver? But that makes it more of a weapon than a screwdriver - at least mentally, it does - to me.
