He is wearing a lolita ensemble consisting of a fluffy green cardigan over a frilly white blouse and a puffy skirt with a picture of azalea bushes. He has baggy green socks, pink platform Mary Jane shoes and a pink bow in his hair. He is kicking forward one leg, holding up his skirts to show layers of petticoats, grinning at the viewer. End ID]
- I haven’t been able to adjust really well. Sometimes when I’m with him, I don’t know what to say or do. It’s like I’m always worried. I don’t know how to act.
- Li Ming, you can just talk to him. Touch him. When he can’t hear, physical touch will make him feel like there’s someone next to him. Other than that, treat him as a non-deaf person.
Some still look at him and whisper, Il Predestinato comes forth, but Charles disregards the old legends. In another chapter of the story written by gods, he wants to be remembered as Charles Leclerc — a mortal, a race car driver, a winner.
In a life beyond the deafening rev of running engines and a tart taste of adrenaline, Charles wishes for the simplicity of being a brother, a friend, a lover.
But racing, undoubtedly, forever comes first.

i have never written a 35k fic, let alone in one month. this is not just a fic but a piece of my soul, a gift, a wild concept born out of song and my love for metaphors. this is, truly, my pièce de résistance.
listen. as much as I know (and love) that this doctor who special was v much trans rights save lives in the very blatant way that leaves no room for doubt for any wilful misinterpretation with the erasure of transness from the narrative esp in the terf supreme climate which was very necessary and important, and as much as I understand that dw is abt logical reasoning things making sense in a very (emphasis on very) abstracty hand-wavey way and you'd come up blank if you try to get into specifics ... i have just one question.
why did Donna and Rose Noble tell the doctor "we just let it go. you wouldn't understand as a male-presenting doctor." like.. that bit truly ???? me and I just didn't understand like... what does. male-presenting have to do w anything.. I am genuinely asking. i get the logic of the rest of the things: Donna passed down the metacrisis (sp? it's been years since doctordonna ep so I'm rusty) thingy to rose so they're both able to be share the weight of it without dying.. is it the extra regeneration energy theyre able to let go without any hassle? that's such a skill issue for a male-presenting doctor? ... if that then,, why so? what does being male-presenting have to do w anything is. my question. bc the logic is supposed to be handwavey I know.. but that part just puzzled me like is there some secret caveat I'm not getting?
