LunarSeas Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 I just really love Twelve's emotionally intense but platonic relationship with Clara. It makes me so happy to finally see something like that.

Anyone else for Nine? Because I'm just saying--Nine. No I haven't actually gotten to any other Doctors yet except for a couple of episodes with Ten a long time ago don't judge me Nine is just amazing and that's all there is to it Trust me, once you get to ten, you will see why almost everybody's favourite is number ten. Eleven was also good, it's just that the writing quality dropped after Russell T. Davies left. I haven't seen much of twelve and only a few of the early doctors.

I haven't seen much of twelve and only a few of the early doctors. Nah the pun was accidental. And yeah, the writing changed when Moffat took over: he's an excellent storyteller, but not the best showrunner. My favourite companions from the current series are Donna and Rory. Donna because her relationship with the Doctor is platonic as opposed to romantic (as with Rose and Martha); and Rory because of just how committed (romantically or otherwise) he is to Amy. Capaldi is great at The Doctor: he's more practical and less romantic than Ten or Eleven (though, if anything, Clara's character becomes annoying by the end of her tenure, especially as she just never leaves, not even after she's dead.
LunarSeas Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Yes, Donna is my fave companion, and I love her friendship with Ten very very much. I guess a little aro thing could be looking for platonic friendships in media and crying when you find them.

What about looking for platonic friendships in media and crying when all you can find is romantic ones, or that platonic relationships between men and women invariably become romantic in the end
Dodgypotato Posted September 12, 2016 Posted September 12, 2016 Donna's my favourite as well. My life: I JUST WANT A MATE!

That's my life too, not that people actually see me "like that". I'm not sure whether to be relieved that I don't have to deal with romantic advances, or disappointed that no one has ever tried (other than once when I was 14 - the "relationship" lasted a day because I didn't have the required feelings ).

With most people not even realising that there can be a problem here. How about "La prémisse de la question n'est pas valide. Depuis, en tant qu'aromantic, je n'ai aucun intérêt à avoir ce type de partenaire."

I hate how romance always pops up when you least expect it - especially if you're out with a female friend at dinner. Because friends go out together too!
LunarSeas Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 I got sniped at over fb for calling some non-sensical rant think piece irrelevant to my life. It was so horrible, lamenting that millennials don't want relationships, just cute things to post on social media about relationships, emotional stunting thru tech, bloo bloo, and...I want neither??? And he said something like, IT'S SO RELATABLE THO. And. Noooooo. >.>

EveryZig Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 At a recent family party, my cousin was talking about someone he was messaging online requesting bad pick up lines. Being a fan of corny puns, I suggested "I feel like a truck, because I'd like to pick you up", and my brother's wife commented that she never expected to hear me say a pickup line. And I really can't imagine myself saying one outside the context of a joke.

Dodgypotato Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 I can't believe how understanding and accepting my friends are of my aro/aceness... They don't see it as something bad, it just is... And that's a pretty rare opinion among non-aros...
Aro Alien Posted October 1, 2016 Posted October 1, 2016 Little aro things: losing partners. Losing partners. And losing partners.
Zema Posted October 5, 2016 Posted October 5, 2016 When you find a new artist and you're listening to one of their albums and it's really great but then the one song that has singing is super heteronormative and it ruins the entire album for you . This would be a #littlearothings if not for the fact that it could happen to anyone who isn't straight. I had nowhere else to put it so I'm putting it here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
karnzter Posted October 6, 2016 Posted October 6, 2016 Listening to romance-themed songs and imagining it as an action-packed ambiguous-ending edgy scenario in your head. If only I have the time and patience to learn how to animate in Source Filmmaker, I'd do it Does that count as #littlearothings?
