the failening
this probably doesn't need to be said to anyone who will actually read it, but i thought i'd make it clear nontheless. statements that are inappropriate in all circumstances:
Also, while it's not exactly on the subject, I'd be unwilling to accept a Doctor that is non-Caucasian appearing. And no, this is not due to any latent racist views on my part. I just don't see the character working that way.
I don't want a black Doctor. Because I want to fancy him and I don't really find black men attractive.
saying the doctor can't be non-white because the character doesn't "work that way"? racist. justifying not wanting a black doctor because you don't find black men attractive? racist. no, this is not up for debate. this should be clear, and yet apparently isn't to some people. mentioning that statements like this are racist is not an attack against whoever might have said it. it's a statement of fact. if someone says something racist they can own up to the racism of their statement or try and explain it away, it doesn't change facts.
i was much wordier in other places but ya'll shouldn't need this to be explained to you so i think we're good.

You're sure that's not just an urban legend at this point?
"because if i wasn't in it i wouldn't have met you and then i wouldn't have been able to be friends with you and then i would never have the chance to eat those cookies and cream cupcakes that i am totally going to nom on when i visit youse."
:-D Yeah, but you're getting those anyway even if you suddenly renounce DW for Animaniacs slash or something. Actually, especially if you do that. *stocks up on Newman-O's for the frosting*
"also because i love the TARDIS."
That silly Twitter Stand RPG is threatening to become my new fandom with undue speed. I will save you, Nadine Cross!

i've met cool peoples online and also at chicago TARDIS and made new friends both ways. so if it's an urban legend then it must one of the ones that is SECRETLY TRUE, like crocodiles in the sewer in NY. or maybe i am a fictional construct. that would simplfy some things yet complicate others. hmmm.
Yeah, but you're getting those anyway even if you suddenly renounce DW for Animaniacs slash or something.
i can't think of slash for animaniacs that doesn't involve incest, so i think i'm going to stay weeeeeeeeell away from that one. although there was that one episode wher jimmy cagney was their "special friend"... NO!
I will save you, Nadine Cross!
awwwwwe. i would check it out but i've never read or seen the stand so i think i'd be a little lost.
