Did you really believe that?

 #I love it because martha is all ‘you’re such a fucking idiot’ #and she laughs at the master #she laughs at the fucking psycho who has been destroying earth and who kept her family prisoners #she laughs at someone who could kill her any second #she makes him look like a moron #she takes the power away from him and she turns the tables (via iceinherheart-kissonherlips)

YES THIS IS WHY THIS IS MY FAVORITE MARTHA MOMENT

Also, two thoughts (neither of them new, but I never connected them before) just clicked in my head:

The first thing: Martha is in the Doctor’s role in this episode. Not just that she’s the one saving the day, but TO THE MASTER AS WELL. He puts all his energy into capturing her, defeating her, humiliating her, because he doesn’t want to admit he was ever afraid of her. The Doctor’s spent a year being boring and of no interest to him no matter how hard he prods. It’s incredibly telling that by the end of the year, he’s tormenting the Doctor to try and get at Martha through the people she loves, instead tormenting Martha to get at the Doctor. Martha is the Master’s true archenemy in LotTL, at least for the first three-quarters of it.

The second thing: Mind of Evil. The one thing the Master fears most in the universe is the Doctor laughing in his face.

And when Martha takes on the Doctor’s role, what does she do? THIS GIFSET, YOU GUYS.

Doctor? It’s Martha and I’m bringing you back to earth. 

AND HIS ASS CAME BACK ON THE DOUBLE TOO

HIS OWN FUCKIN WIFE HAD TO CARVE INTO A DAMN MOUNTAIN TO GET HIS ATTENTION

MARTHA FUCKIN JONES MADE ONE PHONE CALL

CUZ MARTHA FUCKIN JONES AIN’T THE ONE TO FUCK WITH

Rory & Amy had to deface a field with their car.

Donna had to go on solo mystery adventures to maybe run into him.

And Jack had to set up an alarm system designed around the Doctor’s detached hand.

Even Winston Churchill can’t just ring up the TARDIS any old day, he gets forwarded to River.

Martha HBIC Jones is the only person who’s got a direct line to the Doctor.

You go Martha

I think this might be why, of all the new series’ companions, I don’t like Martha Jones.

Rose, Donna and Amy didn’t want to leave ‘My Doctor’, ‘Raggedy Man’ or ‘Spaceboy’, but they didn’t have a choice.

Martha Jones just walked away.

Martha’s family had just gone through a year of hell.  A year of being TORTURED, a year where they were threatened with DEATH every day, a year where they saw horrors unimaginable.  They needed her. 

Martha herself just went through a year of hell.  A year where she was hunted every day.  A year where there was a special forces unit tasked with doing nothing but tracking her down.  A year where she saw an entire country burn in front of her eyes.  A year where she witnessed more death and destruction than any one person should ever have to.  A year where she saved the universe not with magic TARDIS/Metacrisis/Universe crack powers but with her own brains, cunning, determination and willpower.  She needed her family.

She had also just spent a year in love with a man who didn’t love her back.  A man who was often dismissive of her thoughts and feelings.  A man who she had to watch fall in love with another woman and accuse her of being his executioner after two months of going from being a doctor to a maid in an era when she was thought of as less than a person because of the color of her skin.  Then three more month of working in a shop to support him.  Her thanks for those things was “thank you” and a hug.  She went through a year where she TIME AND AGAIN proved herself, delivered the impossible and yet was judged unworthy just because she wasn’t someone she’d never met.  And THEN the year of literal hell. 

Put yourself in her shoes for just a minute.

She made absolutely the right decision, for her own mental and emotional well being, and for her family’s.  She still cared for him, she gave him a lifeline back to her, but she couldn’t survive in that environment anymore, having her self esteem torn down every day after she had proved over and over just how amazing she was.

FOREVER APPRECIATE MARTHA.

i swear, martha haters, not one of you has an inch of logic or reason in your body

sweet lord, that rebuttal is perfect.

And really, which is better?

Choosing to leave of your own free will, or being trapped in a parallel universe?

Choosing to leave of your own free will, or having your mind and memories erased?

Choosing to leave of your own free will, or being dumped at some house you don’t know like you’re still a child, always and forever?

Aaaaaaand raising a glass to Martha Jones.  Bring it, haters.  (And seriously, I am still trying to come up with canon in my head for a non-gross reason she and Mickey ended up together.  I have done my Very Best.  I try to believe it is because he understood being world-savingly awesome while always having to play second fiddle for bullshit reasons.  Being brown on the TARDIS sucks.  Seriously, Rita, you got saved a lot of trouble, getting et by a lonely feelings minotaur.)

Reblogging for commentary. OP couldn’t be any more wrong.

Honestly, at the start I didn’t like Martha, but she proved just how fantastic she really is.

Just because she chose to leave doesn’t make her below the others. It means she was brave enough to let go, and she got away before it killed her and left her family without her.

Sonnet 18

I love the look on Martha’s face.

Because I bet she read that Sonnet when she was in school.

And the realization that that fucking sonnet is going to be about HER RADIANT BLACK BEAUTY!!!

Martha Fucking Jones gets POETRY written for her that lasts through the ages.
