The Sweet, Sweet Pie of Smugness

[miss_s_b]

Well, we can't pronounce on ALL the predictions yet, but young, white, cis-female, and conventionally attractive? I think we're there on those:

The Doctor's new companion is revealed

Who she's playing, how the Doctor meets her, and even where he finds her, are all part of one of the biggest mysteries the Time Lord ever encounters. Even by the Doctor's standards, this isn't your usual boy meets girl. - I suspect the biggest mystery the Doctor ever encounters might be overselling it a bit. And boy meets girl? REALLY? Eurgh.

I'm sure I'll be able to put up with her character, maybe even I'll like her, but it would have been nice if the opportunity had been taken to have someone a bit more different :(

I don't get Benedict Cumberbatch either. And he's conventionally attractive, despite almost every girl I know coming up to me going "I know you think I'm weird for liking his looks but I fancy BC."

It's not weird- He just doesn't do it for me!

[innerbrat]

Oh well, him I don't get at all. But I can't disassociate him from Sherlock, which I find frankly unwatchable.

I could BUY an argument for him as unconventionally attractive, but... no.

Then, my first male crushes included Dexter Fletcher and Craig Charles, so what do I know?

[ginasketch]

Bill Murray was one of mine. XD

If I was crush-capable when I saw Ghostbusters, I'd be all over that with you!

I like to look at Benedict with his dyed Sherlock hair, but not his natural hair. I've no idea if I fancy him because I don't know what his personality is like *shrug*

[innerbrat]

Oh, you and your having to actually know a person. Where's your mindless objectification?

[miss_s_b]

It's hiding under the duvet, staring at matgb's bottom. It gets to see magister's tonight. My mindless objectification is SPOILT.

Is there a "wiggles eyebrows lasciviously" emoticon?

[ginasketch]

Personality is always a massive driver for my crushes too, which is why I probably crush on characters more than actors.

[miss_s_b]

And Comedians. Mmmmmm Jo Brand.

[magister]

Hot damn, yes.
