I honestly love Rose’s writing.

wakor:

First, she was built up to be this ethereal, flawless, loving being. Then that image cracked when the show began to show us that she was manipulative, hypocritical, and a liar. Either way, we were meant to believe that she was still intelligent and in-control. That her actions were calculated, and that her decisions were resolute.

But no. None of that was the case. Rose was a young, idealistic, inconsiderate, selfish person who never meant for this to happen. She wasn’t a cunning, inspirational leader who sparked a rebellion for liberation, she was someone who got caught in her own web and spent 2000 years covering for it. She spent centuries lying and lying and lying to the people who were dragged into a deadly war because she wanted to run away from home. And she could never, ever own up to it. 

Well, she could have, but she didn’t want to.
