'Hats. ...NOT YOU.'

[rionaleonhart]

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 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.

...I-I keep meaning to tell you I loved that fic, but then I would have to admit it I read it entirely for the dubious content, as I don't actually know Waterloo Road.

--apparently I consider giving you props more important than protecting my reputation.

Hee, thank you very much! Every person who liked it makes me feel a little less awful for having a part in writing the thing, so I appreciate your willingness to endanger your own reputation.
