#especially since jack is like. very openly physically affectionate in ways the doctor usually isn’t without the prompting of life or death

thinking about even and jack meeting, because i think it would be hilarious. it’s not that flirtation goes completely over their head, it’s that anything that’s even slightly more complicated than ‘you’re pretty’ misses it’s mark because there are context clues they are not picking up on (autism) and innuendo they aren’t versed in at all (spaceship). which jack could obviously adapt to very quickly, i just think it would be funny for him to throw out something charming and just get sort of. squinted at.

#i cant fucking write pick-up lines to save my life but like for example. for example. jack: you must have some capable hands if the doctor’s #trusting you to help fly the tardis. ;) || Even: (aware that their job is mostly following instructions) I am very good at listening??? #it cannot be subtle. they arent going to pick up on subtle. #cut to later when jack’s figured this out and also figured out that he can call even pretty and force reboot their brain for a solid minute #easiest work of charming someone in his life. #i dont think even has a crush on jack beyond like. the ‘i know like 4 people with more depth than passing strangers and you’re one of them #and also handsome and niceys to me.’ #but that’s a factor here. #especially since jack is like. very openly physically affectionate in ways the doctor usually isn’t without the prompting of life or death #situations or success over life or death situations. #even deserves to have their hair ruffled is what im saying. #bless them. they would die immediately if they were shunted into the torchwood universe. there is a version of them that is fucked up and #able to choose violence but that version is very contigent on a specific situation person and lack of access to any other options. #if you put them in torchwood they would not resort to that. they would have a panic attack. and die. #but its fine. theyre safe in the tardis. #what was my point here. ive forgotten. i was going somewhere with this. rose was involved. #dw oc
