Friendly reminder that Martha was engaged to this guy during series 4 (spring 2008)
and yet by mid-2009, according to Children of Earth, she was on honeymoon, and it was revealed her spouse was Mickey in The End of Time.
Like, damn, she moved on fast.
how do we know she moved on? polyamorous martha confirmed
I’d been thinking about that for a while–Martha seems like the sort of person who’d consider that because A, she’s the kind of nerd who’s, she’s probably read a lot of interesting HP fic and meta and been exposed through some interesting relationship ideas through that, B, her experience of Ten’s lingering obsession with Rose would mean she’s kind of suspicious of the whole “True Love” thing and she doesn’t want anyone to think of her the way Ten thought of Rose back then. She likes to have clear models/prodecures for things but is also interested in exploring and pushing the limits of them, so I think she’d be well suited to that kind of relationship model.
And also, Mickey’s bi, and this wasn’t explored nearly enough, so maybe he had a thing with Tom too.
