You know what? I'm gonna say it. As someone who is asexual and on the aromantic spectrum myself, I'm a bit tired of the Doctor Who fans who all say that Donna is the best companion of Ten's just because they were best friends and nothing more and that automatically makes her the best companion of RTD and for a lot of you, the best companion overall.
Listen, I LOVE Donna. Adore her. And I also think that her friendship with the Doctor is amazing. But it has always rubbed me the wrong way that the companions who have a romantic interest in the Doctor (and let me tell you, there is textual evidence for every one of them that the feelings were reciprocated in some way) are somehow considered lesser BECAUSE of that interest. That just because they fell for the Doctor means that their relationship with the Doctor is cheapened in some way.
I personally think that just as platonic relationships should not be considered lesser than romantic ones, the same goes in reverse. Amy, Clara, Martha, Rose, River, and Yaz's feelings may have some weak writing decisions attached to them, but so does Donna.
Personally, I love Donna's character arc/the tragedy of her ending, but I've always felt a little disappointed by the fact that her becoming the DoctorDonna in Journey's End was not predicated on her strong characterization/choices (Ala Planet of the Ood/Fires of Pompeii) but by "fate" pushing it to happen. It's honestly more Dalek Caan than Donna making all that happen.
This is NOT to say that I don't love Donna, but just to say that the fact that she had no romantic feelings for the Doctor doesn't automatically catapult her above the rest. Romantic feelings can lead to just as interesting, well-developed character arcs/complicated dynamics as platonic ones can, from the creator/created reciprocated question mark wanting but unable to choose each other over everything dynamic of 11amy to the fascinating destroying each other saving each other one taking all of the emotional toll but honestly craving that prophet-god relationship of 10martha to the shaping each other making each other kinder and braver reminding each other there is hope dooming and saving each other of 9rose to the full dooming each other but running straight at it full tilt because we are purposefully ignoring the turn back now signs of 10rose to the batshit insane codependent reflecting each other refracting each other who is Orpheus and who is Eurydice of 12clara to the there was always someone else in the room keeping us apart but you somehow became my whole world and I knew you from birth to death and we will never be anything more than a shut door of 13yaz to the you doomed me and saved me and you hate me but you might have loved me once and i will spend the rest of my life devoted to you dynamics of 10jack 11river and 12river.
Every relationship is interesting and personal preference might steer you in a certain way due the character arcs/ending preferences/etc., but elevating one over the other because the companion wasn't "foolish" enough to fall in love with the mad genderfluid alien in a box who ran away with you and stole you away to the stars doesn't sit well with me. Romance doesn't cheapen a relationship just as it doesn't automatically make it the ultimate relationship, either.

today i’m thinking about, “Oh, Pond. It’s all shopping lists and electricity bills and biscuits and I love it. And I love you. And I love the privilege of when we’re together.”

twissy and or elevenamy for the ship ask game?
What made you ship it?
i was already deep in the thoschei mines, there is no escape for me. and also did you fUCKING SEE WHEN SHE PINNED HIM TO A WALL AND KIS-
2. What are your favorite things about the ship?
genuinely i just keep returning over and over to that moment at the end of 10x04 where the doctor is just. so happy to spend time with missy. i keep thinking about missy zero hesitation going to skaro with the doctor even though she knows it's a trap. i keep thinking about them kissing each other for the sheer excitement of being able to. i keep thinking about- do you get it? do you get it. they are so in love here it makes me sick. holy shit there's so much love happening here. they just want to be around each other so much im not okay about any of it.
3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
i don't think i've really had the time to develop any? except that i think missy has done nothing wrong ever <3
and elevenamy bonus :3
What made you ship it?
see, it's complicated, because i don't really ship eleven/amy, at least not outside the context of eleven/amy/rory. but i do think they need each other like air. i think that the doctor saying amy was seared onto his hearts from the first time he saw her face was the most intimate thing they could possibly share. i think if amy could have, she would have grabbed his hand and dragged him into that angel's touch with her, damned them both with one fell swoop because how could she ever choose, how could she be expected to. so. you know. there's all of that.
2. What are your favorite things about the ship?
they are such a mess. they really are. they're so entangled with each other, it's amazing. amy brought him back into existence by believing in him. the doctor shaped her whole life with a single crash landing. and because it's eleven, i am of course a sucker for all the physical affection between them. wah. hugs and kisses for amy....
3. Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?
again, i don't really see a romantic outcome between them except in the specific scenario of rory also being there and the doctor more or less slotting himself into their marriage as their third, where he belongs, of course. so. eleven/amy. not romantic. something Worse is going on between them <3 but like. to be clear. if there was something romantic there. the fact that the doctor is married to river would not stop that entanglement from happening. they'd just all be even more fucked up about it.

I love that a consistent thing for me is “I can only see these characters relationship as platonic. They do not feel romantic.” And then someone goes “what if they were in a polycule.” And I 🤭🤫

What if tenamy made me wanna cry die and laugh at the same time. He drags her kicking and screaming and she sits looking like the perfect little lamb while he defiles everything in his path. He tells her she’s a good girl and pats her on the shoulder and they’re a bit too close for it to be totally asexual. She has no agency and TLV takes everything into his own hands, but even that is not enough. He’s spiritually kill her and then find any way possible to reverse it only to kill her again and then himself. They’d long to curl up and die together with their entangled bodies being the only remnant of whatever the fuck they were.
