10 Things That Happen When You Date A Doctor Who Fan

5. You May Be Expected To Join In With Cosplaying At Conventions

Tumblr Mkkwjatmi91r2f9ceo3 500 Gif Congratulations! The latest series of new Who has been survived, the compliments from total strangers about your partner's really cool t-shirts no longer grate, the shelf space has been divided sort of fairly, and the memorabilia items have been discretely positioned in out-of-the-way alcoves where visitors might, possibly, not see them. Normality can now resume... at least for a little while. Except your other half wants to go to a convention. In a costume. And how cool would it be if you went in costume, too? Give the suggestion some careful thought rather than immediately dismissing it. Conventions are fun and dressing up is fun and... well, it's not hard to see where this is going. Where would Rory be without Amy? How can a Ten go the ball (well, convention) without a Rose? It just makes so much sense to go as a pair. And the costumes come in handy for Halloween trick-or-treating later, so it's economical, too!
