Shoutout to Lindsay Duncan for her tendency of showing up in the middle of a DT character's arc to tell him just how much of a dumbass he's being

I love how every time David Tennant plays literally any previously established character they just get a bit softer and a bit sadder and a bit more joyful and a bit more mentally ill

Phileas Fogg and Touch Aversion
I'm going to try to resurrect a post I had written on twitter a while ago when I still had an account there (and when it was still called twitter). It's long, so bear with me, and do keep in mind that these are just my hc's and there's always room for interpretation.
***
So one thing that becomes clear about Phileas from the start is how much he tries to avoid physical touch. Even with those he knows well, like Grayson. Look at how stiff he is here, how he avoids eye contact, how he leans back a tiniest bit.
Tumblr media
This physical discomfort is even more obvious with strangers, of course. Especially with strangers who threatened and intimidated him only hours earlier. Even when the contact is no longer a threatening one (you all remember senor Moretti, yes?)
Tumblr media
Remember the aborted hugs? The man is so excited to see Passepartout alive that he forgets himself for a moment....
Tumblr media
...only to remember at the last minute and have the hug become nothing more than an awkward (safe?) handshake
Tumblr media
or, in Abigail's case, a near-pat on the arms
Tumblr media
But it's something deeper than just simple intimacy avoidance. There seems to be a discomfort, a fear almost of physical closeness with ADULTS. I'm going to veer onto a slight tangent here that ties into my hc about Fogg's childhood and take a look at this scene in the desert:
Tumblr media
Remember how incredulous Passepartout was when Fogg asked him to move because he, ostensibly, couldn't pee otherwise? "I thought you went to boarding school" he said, the implication being "why are you so afraid of having someone stand next to you when you pee?"
Tumblr media
The whole situation is funny to Passepartout (and meant to be so to us as well), but Fogg doesn't appear to be amused in the slightest. He pleads, actually pleads with Passepartout to move. And look at how uncomfortable he is. How he tries to block out Passepartout's presence.
And look at this moment here. This is where Passepartout whips out his joystick &starts watering the sand. Look at that cringe, that nervous swallow. I'm not saying this man was definitely traumatized in boarding school, but... he was definitely traumatized at boarding school
Tumblr media
This is not to say that he can't handle physical contact at all. He can and does when the situation demands it. When it's a matter of life or death, for instance.
Tumblr media
But notice the reluctance, the uncertainty even here.
Tumblr media
The only time he DOESN'T hesitate? When someone else needs it, needs HIM.
Tumblr media
When it's him alone however? Even when the touch isn't remotely threatening?
Tumblr media
He freaks out and tries to run.
Tumblr media
And when running is not an option? Freezes like a deer in the headlights.
This moment here shocked him so completely that he drew a blank on all thought, and it wasn't until the lieutenant had uttered the word "coward" - the word that keeps driving him forward - that he snapped out of it
Tumblr media
It's different, of course, when it's Estella.
Tumblr media
He doesn't shy away from her touch. Welcomes it instead.
Tumblr media
Initiates the hug and follows through
Tumblr media
Estella is safe. Estella cares about him. Estella would never hurt him. But that kind of safety, that kind of certainty - it doesn't exist where other adults are concerned. Not yet. So he errs on the side of caution and stays back when everyone around him is hugging and celebrating
Tumblr media
Doesn't respond to enthusiastic shoulder pats and friendly arm squeezes when he makes his triumphant return home. He looks uncomfortable. Lost. Wary.
Tumblr media
Compare that to Abigail's reaction in the same scene
Tumblr media
But there are also others whom Phileas is comfortable with, in addition to Estella. Those whom he doesn't view as a threat: kids.
Look here at Alberto plopping to sit down right next to him. Phileas doesn't even flinch. Accepts his presence easily with no discomfort shown
Tumblr media
Smiles at Alberto just as easily, too.
Tumblr media
Look at Noori here. She grabs him by the hand, drags him behind her. He doesn't mind one bit.
Tumblr media
Look at Fogg's reaction when that girl runs out to hug him. He is surprised but not frightened. He goes soft and maybe even a little happy. He hugs her back. He thanks her.
Tumblr media
Now look at the difference when Abigail goes to do the same. He stiffens immediately. Pulls back. His whole posture screams "get away".
Tumblr media
It doesn't mean he doesn't WANT the physical touch. He does. Longs for it, in fact.
Tumblr media
But he believes he lost his chance for this closeness, he mourns the loss of it, and he doesn't think it's for him anymore. He's also likely afraid to test if what he believes is true.
Tumblr media
BUT... But... There's a silver lining to all this. Because there IS character growth for him in more ways than one, and he DOES become braver and stronger in more ways than one. And in the end he DOES dare to reach out and he DOES find the courage to NOT pull away.
Tumblr media
If you've gotten this far, thank you for reading :) And please come check out my ATWI80D fics where all of this is explored in greater (and angstier) detail. ;)
