I just needed to reblog this again.

Because jfc, you don’t understand how important this scene is to me.

Or maybe you do!

Because it has Jack openly showing his affection and admiration for two people of different gender in the exact same way, making no difference at all, and neither do Rose nor the Doctor. Zilch. No hesitating, no flinching, no comic relief.

I wish it could be like this more often.

That scene up there is doing everything right, end of story. And while Jack’s sexuality is often made out to be something to smile at, it’s also shown as very natural and Nine was just cool with that, no reason not to be.

Acceptance: You’re doing it right.

it’s not acceptance, frankly i don’t give a shit about being accepted, it’s representation, and positive representation at that. jack is one of the few multisexual characters i can think of who never made me flinch because of their presentation. that’s what makes this important, not how magical and accepting the ‘straight’ characters are (straight gets quotation marks because i do not for one second believe that the doctor is straight, but that is how he’s been presented thus far). this is about how real and human the multisexual character is. and it’s awesome.
