Thinking about how bad Doc is with words sometimes haha,,

He’s not very good at conveying appropriate tone through text, and he often says things by accident that he does not mean to offend with… He’ll always apologize when he’s made aware of it, of course, but first he has to be made aware of it. It’s not a guarantee that he’ll realize your reaction is an upset one, if he’s even there to see your reaction…

This is part of why he’s so quiet and awkward in person, too, on top of some genuine social anxiety. It’s happened enough times that it’s simply just… better not to talk at all.

#he makes more of his mistakes in text bc he really doesn’t like talking beyond what’s necessary most times #he can give a planned lecture like a champ but polite small talk is lost on him if he isn’t already good friends with you #and even then you’ll be the one doing most the talking #the ashen-streaked doctor #fallen london oc
