'it's complicated' with river song

[thirty2flavors]

Since we all know Facebook is the key to unambiguifying interpersonal relationships...

[Poll #1374442]

Inspired, as always, by a conversation with bazcat89.

I have an interview with Health Canada tomorrow and I am ill. Somehow this seems foreboding.

YOU FORGOT TO ADD "IT'S COMPLICATED"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

I actually deliberately didn't add it because obviously that is the status he will use with River Song.

Actually I almost added a River component to this poll, but then I was like naahhh fuck River.

we are exluding river

Oooh good luck on the interview! Maybe being sick is like one of those backwards omens, you know, like rain being good luck on your wedding day. I mean, you are going to a place that can theoretically fix you, you know? Maybe you need to be an employee there before you can be truly ~healed~.
Orrr... it'll just be fine in spite of you feeling under the weather. idk! We will see I guess!!

Thank you! Hopefully my awful interviewing skills will somehow disappear between now and 2:30 tomorrow. Hopefully. Maybe.

Lulz, this poll is like a brilliant work of fanfic in itself.

Thank you, speculating on the online lives of fictional character is something I do more often than I care to admit.

DO NOT BE ASHAMED

[isaysquee.livejournal.com]

LOLing. XD It'd be great if they both listed as "in a relationship" but didn't say who. I can imagine them changing it like day-to-day "single--> in a relationship --> it's complicated --> in a relationship --> it's complicated" and so on... i'm sure GITF would be a "it's complicated" moment for both of them.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

Funnily enough, GITF is what prompted this discussion. I was saying with bazcat89 how I don't really buy into all the fics where Rose throws a bitchfit after it, for a whole slew of reasons but one of them being that (to quote my MSN conversation with Liz)

"_thirty2flavors: i think it comes from the delusion people have that theyw ere in a legit facebook relationship during s2
_thirty2flavors: when they totally weren't
_thirty2flavors: in facebook terms they were still in the stage of poking each other
bazcat89: they would have poke wars
bazcat89: and then leave obnoxious comments like I AM NOT GOING TO LOSE THIS POKE WAR"

[isaysquee.livejournal.com]

Haha! You have a point. I don't think Rose'd throw a fit... she'd be more confused than anything. Because she was all jealous of Sarah Jane but she was all fine with Reinette... what does your personal canon say about that? *is curious*

I think it'd be complicated for Rose because of Mickey though. She looked so upset when Mickey joined them in ep 3 but Mickey was so excited. I wonder what Mickey's relationship status would be at that point...

[miss-mishi.livejournal.com]

They had both set their relationship status to 'hidden'
By the time 'Doomsday' happened they were in the middle of a fervent poke-war
One or both of them joined Enough with the poking, let's just have sex already
...and then chickened out and left


clearly

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

ngl I had selected 'single' but this poll has made me reconsider 'hidden'. But the poke war/let's have sex group is basically canon, come on.

I tried to figure out ways to incorporate it being complicated with River Song and some Martha, Donna and possibly Romana bamfery, but I couldn't think of how to turn 'EVERYONE GETS INVITED TO EVENTS EXCEPT RIVER' into the form of a poll. Unless the options were yes, yes, yes, and yes.

"ELIZABETH AND CHRISTINA ARE EXCLUDING RIVER SONG"

that was a good one

[bazcat89.livejournal.com]

I AM CONVINCED THAT IT NEVER LEFT THE GIGGLEY POKE WAR STAGE.
joining that LET'S HAVE SEX ALREADY group is too srs for them

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

I can see Rose joining the group for like, twenty seconds, then being mortified and leaving it and hiding both th feeds.

The Doctor would be oblivious though. SILLY HUMAN HORMONES.

[bazcat89.livejournal.com]

Okay, I can maybe go with that.

Although Mickey saw it before she hid the feeds.

OMG, THIS IS LIKE THE GREATEST DISCUSSION EVER. AND HIGHLY RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

WHY THANK YOU.

I like to ask the hard-hitting questions.

[annissa.livejournal.com]

It was either hidden or the ever-elusive 'it's complicated' for sure.

I can also see Rose never breaking up with Mickey on Facebook (and by that I mean never acknowledging that they're no longer dating, not actually sending him a letter on Facebook saying she's done, LOL).

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

See, long before this poll bazcat89 and I decided "it's complicated" would be his relationship status with River Song, and now I can't disconnect that from her.

But hidden I could totally see.

I think Mickey might end it eventually, as a passive-agressive attempt at attention. And Rose would just hide the feed and set her status to 'hidden' rofl. But not before the Doctor could Like it.

[callmepatsy.livejournal.com]

I voted 6 & 7....they knew they should be having sex already but were too chicken actually initiate it.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_thirty2flavors/]

That accurately sums up my feelings towards their relationship by the end of s2.
