Writer's Block: GIP (Gratuitous Icon Post)

[dk323]

[Error: unknown template qotd]Since I don't really post in Doctor/Rose-related comms, I don't have as much of a chance to use this one as I'd like. It's from Series 1's "The Long Game" and though that isn't at the top of my list for favorite Series 1 episodes, I still adore this icon. To me, it's just a nice representation of Nine and Rose's relationship. Rose was always looking for adventure although more often than not getting into trouble because of it (most jeopardy-friendly as Nine said ;-)). But even so, the Doctor would always be at her back, making sure she made it out okay and got home safe (though fear of Jackie probably helped that along a bit! lol).

I like how her bright pink "space" outfit contrasts against the white and blue icy background not to mention the writing texture (and it's not easy to make texture like that work, but it definitely does in this icon). And the icon was made by angelfireeast so the credit goes to her for making this lovely icon. She's awesome. :) I've had it for a while. Even as I had to take out icons over the past year or so to make room for more, that Nine/Rose one has stayed there through all that. The icon just reminds me of why I really love Series 1 of Doctor Who.

Yeah for S1 Rose--so much fun in her, and that spunky jacket is awesome!

Thank you. I know - it's such a fun jacket! I miss the light, happy feeling of Series 1. Even though Jack was abandoned at the end of it (bad Doctor! :\), at least there was no companion loss (whether just by choice or otherwise) that has been the theme of all the finales after Series 1.
