#he'll be my eternal fictional crush

Explaining this because I don't think people are getting it. Ft. One of my favorite mutals. @the--quotifyer--innit

The Master's issue isn't that the Doctor is poly. His issue is that he can not feel second best.

Tw: Mention of toxic jealous behavior, social/ romantic hiarcys, a lot of dog metaphors because its easier for me to explain, someone who's really autistic yapping about fictional old man yaoi, lots of misspelling, Apologies if I seem upset/rude, Im very passionate about the phycology behind social/romantic hiarchys and similar behaviours.

I was asked; Hey what would you think Sax would do if he met tentoo and rose?? With or without 14.

Me: Without 14? Like pre saxteen or just him not there? I think either way he'd beat the fuck out of tentoo. (Because he'd think he's cheating on him at first) He'd try to best up rose too depending on if we were talking s10 sax, pre saxteen, or established saxteen. Hed probably fail, but he'd try.

Yeah, sharing is definitely not his thing

No, definitely not (with Rose). Also, he'd probably lecture her, and then she'd be like "dude LOOK WHOS TALKING" and he'd be like, "WELL- ....☝️ 🤨.... actually... erm (you got a point)." Especially if we're talking Torchwood Rose? It would also piss him off how many traits she has picked up from the doctor. He'd become so emotionally jealous about it. (That Rose has the Doctor's traits)

Because he's not stupid. He's extremely smart. If this is pre/ established, the Doctor talks about her all the time. Even now. Little things. "Oh, there's this little shop down the road that Rose worked at. They have some sales sometimes. " He would SEE how much he actually loved her and feel extremely defeated, which would probably turn to rage and try to kill her. Then have a mental breakdown and sob by himself.

Probs blackmail her Bout how long he's know the doctor compared to a pathetic human girl. Rose would not be impressed.

You can't really use that as black mail but brag? Yes. (He'd definitely brag about knowing him much longer)

I could write a whole thing about this (and I did), but bassically, the fact that she's just a human girl is PART of the reason he'd get so upset. He's a fucking TIME LORD with MORE credibility then the doctor and one of the top loves of his eternity he's ever had is some 20 year old blonde girl????

Because with the master (and all of Gallifrey in general) Reputation and status means a lot. So the fact that the doctor chose her (someone who has zero of both) over him (someone who has a lot of both) it would mean that he likes her PURELY for love and this? That crushes him entirely.

Donna: The doctor is currently locked in the shed writing ' I love you, I promise' notes on the window.

If this ever happened, they'd probably get a divorce on the spot because the doctor CAN'T deny that he loves her still. And will. Forever. Saxon would kill him again and not even want to regenerate. He is a "You said til death do us part, and I said until all of time collapsees. We are not the same" kind of guy. He'd kill them both and be sure they fall in the same grave. It's very poetic. (In a way)

See he's okay with River because her physical body is dead as fuck. She can never leave that computer. So this automically puts sax on top of the metaphotic food chain in his head.

Because the doctor comes to him and asks if he can visit his wife and then comes back home to him. That's what matters. Meanwhile, the doctor would go to a different universe to go home to Rose. (If given the chance) And he knows it.

It's like having a dog tolerate/dominant dog. I'll use Minpins because I own one. Minpins have a pack status, and the top one has to be seen as the top by the owner, mainly rather than the other dogs. So if the doctor has multiple lovers (like always), sax has to feel he's on top and receives the most attention. If the doctor starts ignoring or punishing him for "defending" his spot as the top, he'll actually get MORE aggressive towards the others.

He has to be the one at the top of the list, the most special to the doctor, just for his own weird lil reasons

No, it's not really his own weird little reason. It's social psychology.

The thing is, he doesn't *actually* have to be the most special to the doctor, but he NEEDS to think he is. For me personally, and what I know, I like to think that Rose and The master are actually pretty equal, he just says stuff about her *because* he can't do stuff with her anymore which is just the process of longing.

I know I keep coming back to the dog metaphors, but im autistic like that, so give me a chance.

It's like for me, i had a dog named bailey. I love bailey even now, and often I compare my current dog fern to bailey. Its part of the healing process because im comparing them less and less. Especially with the fact that they're VERY different breeds. Bailey was a live stock guardian, an anatolian shepherd, to be exact. 90 pounds. Hairy. Fern is an 8 pound chihuahua miniature pinscher mix. Short hair.

Both are protective of the kids, both bark at men, both are silly and cuddly, and I love them both a lot. But its unfair to compare them because they are so different.

Though there's nothing wrong with liking the similars.

It's unfair for the master and rose to be compared. That's how the doctor thinks about it. The master is his top time lord on his list. Rose is his top human.

In my head anyway.

I'll probably add to this later, but for now, feel free to add on yourself

For Aromantic Visibility Day I present to you the different story drafts that mini me came up with back in middle school and early highschool when I didn't know about Aromanticism.

Anyone is free to use them but please @ me I wanna see where these go.

Hanahaki AU where everyone is automatically born with buds but the buds change color depending on the type of love that you're feeling. Flowers consume you if you don't confess your feelings but you won't die if they aren't reciprocated. Our MC's flowers have yet to change from the pure white that everyone is born with. She has never felt romantic love. In an attempt to understand it, she runs a club at her school to help her peers with their love troubles. (Sidenote: I did a lot of research on flower names and meanings and I never saved it to the Google Doc. But each person has a different flower type that grows from their wrists. The flower type represents their personality.)

A mother sabotaged her daughters romantic relationships because all the men that she keeps dating are only after her for the kingdom. She tries to use her powers to teach her daughter the pains of love to try to encourage her to stay by her side. Later the daughter finds out and decides to just give up on love entirely much to her mother's relief. (Mother was hella toxic but yeah 👍🏽)

I actually wrote out this one for a creative writing class. A story set in an apocalyptic world where most of humanity has died from a genotoxin that was created as a biological weapon at the onset of World War 3. (I wrote this in October of 2019 I kid you not.) She has never interacted with anyone for 7 years after her parents left her in an underground bunker to help find a cure for the neurotoxin. (They die.) She only leaves to look for food and supplies. One day she meets a grown woman while out and after growing closer to this woman, much to the woman's chagrin, she finds out that the woman is the one who created the neurotoxin. This woman wanted to cleanse the world of impurities (yadda yadda villain speak). The woman kills herself and the MC finds out that there are more people that are a love and she sets off to find them. The end. (What does this have to do with aromanticism you ask? No romantic lead. There we go.)

I also wrote about a woman who kidnapped a child to raise as her own because she had no intention of ever getting married. She and her daughter are constantly on the run to evade the authorities.

I was really into Hamilton in 8th-9th grade. I wrote a flash fiction about a girl who fell in love with a boy who her sister liked. Heartbroken and all that jazz she becomes really good friends with her crushes friend who likes her sister. They cope with their unrequited love together and stay close friends. (Her sister and her ex crush break up in the end.)

A girl stays in an eternal prison because of love.

A girl who gets out of an abusive relationship decides to date the player in their school. Her friend warns her about how he'll treat her really well but break your heart in the end because he wants to show his love to as many women as possible. He never dated a girl for more than 3 months. They break up in the end but the girl cherishes the time that they have together.

Two immortals have found one another and decide to explore and discover the world. They find that they are actually from the future sent to prevent a calamity from happening in the past. (No romantic relationship in this one either.)

A story about two rogue assassins who aren't in love with one another but they are close partners who can rely and trust in each other like lovers so much so that people always assumed that they were in a relationship.

A group of female warriors set out on a quest. (That is only one of the many found family plotlines that I came up with.)

Lord some of these are horrific. A common theme I'm seeing in these Google Docs is if it's a love story it always ends in tragedy, most of my main characters are definitely neurodivergent, and the real plotline is the family that we found along the way.

Anyways

Happy Aromantic Visibility Day

Talking About OCs #2: Mensta the Jester

History

I remember making characters based off my friends, but as we drifted apart, I stopped using those characters, and I plain stopped using characters based off people irl (for a while). Eventually, I wanted to give Queen Rosie a sidekick. She gets another one in the future (I'll talk about him later), but during this time, I had the idea of giving her a tiny, male sidekick.

His first design was a royal assistant with orange hair, a green suit, thick, black glasses, and a big, red feather in his hat. He was around Rosie's age and had a crush on her, but I scrapped him later on (I also sadly forgot what his name was). Plus, I decided I didn't want her sidekick to be in love; I wanted their relationship to be nothing but platonic/family-like.

His second design made him look like a little elf with a striped, pointy hat named Lexx. I later scrapped him too because I didn't like his design. Then I realized "what better type of sidekick for her to have than for her to have a jester?" And so that's where Mensta comes in.

Significance/Reason

I knew that every time I made a character specifically based off a person, it wouldn't work, since my friend group tends to change a lot. I liked the idea of making someone who was more based off fictional characters rather than irl people. It made him feel more organic, more animated, more fluid, like he could be his very own person and not someone else's.

Fun Fact: Mensta's name is an anagram for Stamen (a.k.a. the male part of the flower).

Anatomy

(idk why but I feel like this section should go first)

In this universe, jesters aren't a profession, they're a whole species. They range from being 1 to 4 feel tall, have skin colors from literally all the colors of the rainbow (same with their hair and eyes), and live for all eternity, bringing joy to those who need it.

All jesters are created from the fabrics of the stars and planets, and made by the gods and goddesses of the universe. Because they're made from the most powerful creatures alive, they're given the most powerful power out there; regeneration and immortality. Mensta is 3,000 years old.

Fun Fact: Mensta once had a staring contest with someone for 30 years straight, until someone finally walked up to him and let him know he was staring into the eyes of a statue the whole time. He still hasn't been able to live that embarrassing moment down.

Fun Fact: Mensta doesn't need to eat or sleep to survive. He doesn't even feel hungry or tired. But he does like to study those features in mortals. He even studied gastroenterology and polysomnography at 57 different universities.

Mensta is 2ft 5 and has mango-orange skin, apple-red eyes, and platinum blonde hair. All jester's eyes include a shape in the iris (like hearts, spades, clubs, squares, triangles, even spirals). Mensta's have diamonds.

Drawings

(Tw: bl**d)

Personality

Mensta, like every jester, likes to tell jokes, sing songs, do tricks, and pull pranks. This can get on people's nerves sometimes, especially on April Fool's Day, so Mensta will always be prepared to apologize, whether it be with a present or a slice of dessert. Since jesters usually tease their monarchs the most, you could imagine Queen Rosie's received a TON of cake slices for compensation. He believes all problems could be solved with happiness, even if the thing that makes you happy isn't that much.

Mensta looks on the bright side of everything, and is usually very cheerful and energetic. It's hard to make him annoyed, mad, or sad. But it is possible to happen. When this does, he'll try to make someone else happy in order to lift his spirits. This always seems to do the trick. Not when he gets embarrassed, though; he sometimes can't even show his face, but will still try his best if he can get a good laugh out of you.

He's very loyal to his boss BFF Queen Rosie. He'll always be the one she can go to when she's upset. And despite being one of Mensta's worst critics, he still finds her comments amusing. Hell, he'll even let her beat him up to relieve stress. He so loyal that he'll even hurt someone if they manage to hurt her.

All jesters are made to be neurodivergent. Mensta has ADHD.

Above all, Mensta's just a happy, little guy who wants to entertain everyone who he comes across. He wants nothing but the best for Rosie and wishes she could live a long, long, long, long, long life just like him.

One more fun fact: Mensta loves collecting pronouns. He currently has he/she/they/xe/fae/zill/jester and more (but he mainly likes the he/jester pronouns). When asked what Mensta identifies as, he said, "It's been so long, I forgot. I guess I don't have one."

Closing

Thanks for reading! Once again, if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
