So, we happened to do something huge this weekend at Dragon Con. I proposed to my long time girlfriend, @sinfulmarinette, on Saturday, Sept 2nd, 2017.
We met through Doctor Who. I roleplayed as the Eleventh Doctor and she roleplayed as Clara Oswald. We met each other as those characters so I knew I had to propose to her as those characters and Dragon Con was the place to do it. After a kick of motivation from a friend, @riallasheng, and several others, I finally decided to follow though with it this year. After some thorough sneaky planning, I was able to get the ring box and rings here in time and coordinate with the guy in charge of the cosplay photo shoot so he’d gather a group up together and then call us up to come forward. She had no idea of our plans. It caught her entirely off guard (as well as the others involved in the shoot, as you can see) and it was a huge success. I’m honestly still shocked that I didn’t completely screw up my speech, haha.
And the fact the entire Pond family was there to celebrate with us made it all the more amazing! They all seemed so excited to be part of the event and that made us both feel over the moon.
You could say it was OUT OF THIS WORLD. (Hahaha. Yeah. I had to go there.)
It was wonderful and so was the rest of the weekend. We were surrounded by friends and support and that made everything better. We can’t thank everyone there enough for a perfect engagement weekend!
I hope this fucking tranamisogynistic and homophobic garbage person never gets rehired to write SHIT again. OF COURSE he wrote a bunch of doctor who episodes while Moffat was in charge. Im not fucking surprised.
Gareth Roberts has worked with Russell and Moffat so lets not shift the blame from those actually at fault, it doesn’t do anyone any good!
Also Gareth Roberts is actually a gay man which annoys me to no end, he should know better. Us folk who identify as LGB are not automatically guiltless of transphobia and it needs to be stamped out in our community too
he’s actually worked MORE with RTD (quite a lot more, actually) than Moffat so yeah let’s not shift the blame from a transphobic piece of shit onto someone who is (in this instance) not at fault in the slightest.
I wasn’t aware Roberts is gay, there’s definitely bigger issues here than peoples’ Moffat-hate coming into play with every little thing. Us LGB folks need to step up when we see transphobia and actively combat it rather than trying to brush it under the rug or use it as some kind of bargaining chip in other, unrelated debates.
he hasn’t worked on the show since 2014, given certain islamaphobic and disparaging comments that were made about the show in 2015 he would have been very unlikely to ever return to writing it.
as a trans person with a burning hatred of gareth roberts, it enrages me that people are using this to further their obviously ingrained moffat hate: this wasn’t public knowledge, nor was moffat originally the one who hired him. fucking just blame the man himself and move on.
The ****ing lengths people will go to to overlook the transphobia which slid in under RTD.
yeah let’s not forget that Torchwood ep by Whithouse that had Jack say some super OOC transphobic bullshit, RTD let that happen too

Roberts last wrote for the show in 2014 and is not expected to return for the current series. It will always astound me that someone can write so much science fiction and yet entirely miss the point of science fiction.
