'Hats. ...NOT YOU.'
I am now on series three of Waterloo Road! Good news for Tom: he is now the Tom I love, rather than the Tom I want to punch in the face. Bad news for Tom: he had to live through the last few episodes of the second series to get there.
Oh, fine, Tom, you'll hug Chlo. You'll give Izzie's daughter multiple long lovely hugs, but does your son get any fatherly embracing at all? No. No, he does not. For goodness' sake, give the boy a hug before his need for physical affection reaches a point at which he confuses it with sexual desire. It could happen, and you'll have only yourself to blame when it does. (Well, yourself and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
apiphile, who I'm sure will be somehow responsible.)
Seriously, he and Chlo share emotional hugs no fewer than five times in the first seven episodes of series three. This is simply not fair.
(I... wouldn't say no to Tom/Chlo, actually. Tom, stop making me 'ship you with inappropriate people. Waterloo Road presents me with a bit of a dilemma, because on the one hand I love it when Tom is fatherly (he refers to Chlo and Mika as 'my girls'! awww), and on the other I want him to shag everyone.)
reipan has been visiting! Earlier, she mentioned to my mother that she was going to Japan for a year.
Riona's Mum: Didn't you have a rather awful time the last time you were in Japan?
Rei: The last time, yes, but it should be better now because I'm over the age of consent.
Riona: You were over the age of consent last time.
Rei: ...no, I wasn't.
Riona: It's fourteen, isn't it? (post-research note: the national age of consent is in fact thirteen.)
Rei: ...for sex, yes, but the age of consent -
Riona: That's what the age of consent means.
Rei: ...
Riona: Did you mean the age of majority?
Rei: Shut up.
Riona: I did think you were being a bit overfamiliar with my mother.
Rei: Shut up.
Rei would like me to make it clear that she is a perfectly lovely houseguest and not generally in the habit of discussing her sexual practices with her friends' mothers.

(Anonymous) 2010-10-17 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)Also, may I ask what you thought of my writing? You are allowed to say it's shit :)

I'm afraid I haven't read your writing yet, because I'm in London at the moment and on the family computer, and I prefer to read things on my laptop. I'm returning to Brighton tomorrow, though, so I'll be able to take a look at it soon!
May I ask what you think of Tom? I adore him for the most part, but the first couple of series don't give a terribly good impression of him. (Also, Tom/Izzie/Lorna: yes or no? I think a lot of pain and sadness could have been avoided had they all just shagged in that cottage.)

Huh. Tom. Definitely fuckable, and that's always a good place to start from. He seems a bit childish, though, a little self-absorbed. But I don't think he's a bad person or malicious.
And no, because I only find Tom aesthetically pleasing. Mind you, I don't think I would have minded Tom/Andrew. Because I AM ANDREW. We are the same person. Seriously.

Ahahaha, you are so shallow. (Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it did amuse me a bit.)
I don't really identify with any Waterloo Road characters, but, come to think of it, Andrew is probably the closest to me as well. I'm not as assertive as he is, though.
no subject
Thing is, I'm not nearly that assertive, either. I can't tell people they're wrong, not if I truly value their opinion or friendship, even if I know/believe that they are wrong. But Andrew has that slightly out of place, mildly snobbish, not-quite-raised-in-the-real-world thing about him that I've come to realise I also have.
Still, as the series goes on, I'm liking the new English teacher (the adorable Scottish one) more and more. She's so cute! And just... I really really wish she taught me, you know what I mean?
