  1. I reckon I've always been kinda anti-touch. I'd say that if I knew someone well enough, I'd be better at it, but nope even with my friends I get a bit uncomfortable. BUT the worst thing is like I'd always want to hold hands with people and be all cuddly, but I just get awkward and panicky.
  2. Don't worry!!! I suppose Doctor Who (especially the 1963-89 run) is kinda niche to people nowdays :) No, these characters previously didn't have a romantic relationship, more so everynow and then the Doctor would pop up and help the Brigadier with alien issues. Its only really at the point where the Doctor has been exile to earth that the two characters have become more connected. Really getting into writing it, almost at the love confession... PS ummm so I was on this forum on my old practically deceased chromebook, so that it can go igcognito (no browser history) and it crashed and won't turn on. Lets just hope none of my family try and turn it on and it works :D
  3. Well I suppose this story will be the defining answer to my storytelling abilities! These characters have known eachother for about 2-3 years now (well technically they've only met twice before the Doctor is forced to stay on earth and becomes more involved with the Brigadier, but still...) Trying to reformat it so I can get more used to writing dialogue, plus its in the style of the 1970s, one is a military officer, and the other is an alien, so I don't suppose its the most traditional story. Thing is, one of the characters, (The Doctor) can change his face to avoid death. Makes relationships rather difficult, but I suppose this will only be about the Brigadier's feelings towards the Third version of the Doctor so I dunno how much I'll involve that whole thing. Terribly sorry lol I'm in ANOTHER Doctor Who phase (they come and go every couple of months), and I will use any excuse to just overexplain it. Any other Doctor Who fans on this forum?
  4. Was at school and only one of my friends was in (damm everyone else for being ill or on school trips!!!) and we sat down for lunch. Then a bunch of boys, like 3 or 4 they travel in packs, came and sat down next to us. They asked me and my friend if we were together and we shook our heads. Didn't really speak much during this whole encounter can't lie I am very quiet and shy. They wanted us to accompany them on a double date of sorts. I can never tell if they are being serious with these things, and its really weird but whenever I have these enounters, I just can't stay serious and like can't stop smirking its wierd. They looked at me and were like 'oh shes considering it', really I was just weirded out that a bunch of boys just kinda came and sat down like our mates. They sorta half gave up by then, and the bell was about to go for class. Then some of their other friends came up to me and asked for my Snapchat (I don't have Snapchat its a bit wierd). The boy that was sat opposite me was like 'umm what you trying to do' so yeah. They asked me to rate them out of ten and by this point I was just amused and rated them 0.5 and 0.3, not actually in looks, just I said the weirdest numbers that came to my head. That got a reaction out of them, and I mean they weren't exactly the peak of good looking objectively. I mean they are 15 year old boys so what else would I expect.

    So yeah that is my tale of the wierdos from my class trying to get dates with me and my friend. The moral is never take these propositions seriously (banter is better), and never sit outide near to loads of boys when in small numbers ever again. Pls other friends never be ill or away again...

      lmao i've had my share of experiences and awkward confrontations too from boys i'd never even make friends with (their personalities are too... not vibin with mine)

      like, the times I actually went "hmmm I'll think" weren't helpful either, because those fuckers would just keep asking. eventually you get tired of people telling you smth they told you for the billionth time (that someone supposedly "wants" me. that phrasing is very scary actually) or them asking whether i like anyone.

      my opinion? just keep saying no until they finally get the hint that ur probably pissed (in my case i'd been beginning to crack)

      like, they basically pressured me to say yes to some point (or maybe it was social pressure? idk) and god i had to chose between being stuck in a relationship/friendship with a guy i don't know + the new title of "girlfriend" or rejecting and being asked again

      whats rlly funny is that I'm like 99% sure they thought i was a lesbian bc they asked me whether a girl (they showed me some image of this girl, i didn't ask how they knew her) was hot and i just went "probably not"

      i guess at some point they were legit wondering wtf i was attracted to if not men and they failed to pass the vibe check

      Yeah that's the plan lol!

      Basically every boy at my school is just really rude, weird or offensive. Probs a good thing that I'll never wanna date any of them :D

      They just sound like a bunch of jerks.

  5. How on earth do you write romance fanfiction??? I'm trying to write a Doctor Who romance story on ao3 (Third Doctor/The Brigadier, yes classic Who is good), and I thought, how hard could it be? Very. I just keep describing the characters history, and like sorta all that stuff. But I've never been good at dialogue and how the hell do I convey attraction through a character observing another character's appearance. Like yes I know the Third Doctor is like a silver fox and a smooth talker and whatever etc, but how do I make it not sound sooo cheesy?? For example, this is some of what I've got 'It started with small looks, at first only of gratitade and respect, but then slowly developing into affection and trust', 'His mid-length grey curls and velvet coats made him seem like an action hero, especially with all the running and saving the world he did. It made the Brigadier both in of his achivements, and also his dashing and loyal attitude' Yes I know I already can't write stories/fanfiction to save my life, but omg romance is definatley not a strong point. Any sort of advice would be cool, I think I'm gonna try again in the morning. BTW for context, these characters are not together in canon, but are work colleueges/defenders of earth from aliens. Also its the 1970s. Probably not the best place to ask for advice, but at least some people may be able to relate to my struggles!! PS does this count as off topic? Couldn't really find an active area to post this, plus just I need general advice on how to write any part of fanfiction lol
  6. Update: lets just say this last month has been a mix of anxiety induced debate over if im actually aroace which i know is all in my head and kinda hope it stops one day. Celebrated my bday which was nice. So yeah ive really been trying to fully accept this, and i was okay with it, until today. Sooo i came out to cat lol (dont worry hes chill), just so i could test out these words and phrases to myself. Then today i was walking home from school with a friend and we were talking about the future and relationships and stuff. Thats okay, then i sorta told her that yknow romance is good and all but the reality is just not appealing. I figured i could come out to her without reprecussions because i knew she would be chill and shes more of a distant but still close friend nowdays. I mentioned the book loveless and its subject in passing, then when we continued talking about this kind of stuff, i told her that i think im aromantic asexual. She was sooo nice and just accepting of it which made me feel happy. But now at home, its kinda made me think. i guess that saying it to an actual person reminded me that this is real, and this will be my life. So now im sorta going through this mini crisis thats like omg this is happening, and also my mind constantly telling myself that i was kidding and i could fall in love one day (nah). I think i never really considered how it would just affect me being out. im not sure if i wanna come out to my friend group, they are all LGBTQ, but i like how things are and i dont want to feel, not the odd one out, but some indescribable outcast in a way i suppose. So yeah, im coping both really well, and coping rubbishly. Had to write an english mock essay on Romeo's love in Romeo and Juliet, so fun... But yeah life update. Sorry if this is too long and hard to explain, just felt i needed to tell someone, and why not loads of interent strangers? :)
  7. Nice!! The pink is sooo nice Yeah try telling m sister that... shes killed at LEAST 5 succulents so we don't trust her with organic life anymore Yeah fake plants are great, no liability or responsiblilty
  8. Personally, I like stuff like roses and poppies and also purple fuscsias or more shrubbery stuff like lavender and lilac! I also love ferns for fav plant. I love roses because idk they're pretty and come in loads of cool colours like pink and red. Poppies share the name with my previous cat, and we grow fuscsias and lavender/lilac in our garden every year, as well as red and yellow tulips. My mum is obsessed with ferns and they're just kinda cool ig. Just thought it would be interesting to see everyone's favourites and the reasoning behind them, either great significance and symbolism, or its kinda pretty!
  9. Hiiiii!! That was me just testing the waters, now im obsessed with this site and will be staying here for quite a while i think!
