Anonymous: I found this for Amy Pond on TV Tropes “Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Very genuinely thinks that abusing Rory is okay, and (emotionally and physically) beats Rory over the head a whole lot. Gets called out on it hard on occasion, and slowly learns that there are other ways to love someone. It’s still her default defense mechanism when she feels her that relationship isn’t heading the right way.” What do you think about this? You may have done a thing on this topic before, but IDK.
I don’t really agree? For the most part, it seems to lump together emotional and physical abuse and comes to some slightly odd conclusions based on that.
#one of my favourite things about amy#is that she is a textbook *problematic fave*#in the vein of the ninth doctor or sherlock or ward or owen#and before amy I hadn’t really seen a female *problematic fave*#so I think that’s a brave and worthy creative choice (via thatsabsurrrrd)
Amy isn’t perfect, and she doesn’t always have a particularly healthy relationship with Rory, and she often screws up and sucks at communication and she can be kinda awful to people sometimes. She learns, sort of, through experimenting and trial and error, what makes her and the people around her happiest. But she’s not perfect, and she’s never perfect, and that’s okay.
