i hate the idea that being with the doctor made clara “lose her humanity”. she may have become more or less desensitized to death but she was still the kindhearted woman the doctor met in series 7. she always put others before herself, the only difference is the stakes got higher in series 8/9. the doctor didn’t “corrupt” her, he just made her believe she was invincible.

she convinces the doctor to “save the day” in every one of her series since she stopped him from destroying gallifrey in day of the doctor.

in series 8, she makes the doctor realize that earth is his home and it’s his duty to help protect it when it’s in danger. in series 9, clara stops the doctor from destroying the universe just to bring her back.

clara was never a selfish character. even when she lies to danny, she says it’s for *his* own good and i think she truly believes that - she just doesn’t realize she’s lying to herself too. much of series 8 is clara denying herself what she truly wants due to expectations she puts upon herself.

part of this is because she knows what to expect from a routine life, routine job, and a normal boyfriend but she doesn’t know what to expect when she’s with the doctor. it’s enticing like an addiction as clara puts it.

unlike other companions, clara is wholly aware of the risks of being with the doctor. she won’t let herself drop everything on a moments notice to fly off with him because she knows there’s a chance she won’t make it home for dinner. she tells him that they will only travel together on wednesdays. she doesn’t stand for the doctor putting her in danger without her knowledge. she doesn’t stand for the doctor treating her as if she’s second fiddle to him.

unlike other companions, clara knows that being with doctor can’t last forever.

one of clara’s greatest lines is, “nobody’s ever safe…tomorrow’s promised to no one doctor but i insist upon my past. i am entitled to it. it’s mine.”

and much of series 7/8 is clara putting distance between her and the doctor to keep herself safe - not just physically but emotionally too. falling in love with the doctor has the ability to wreck her. considering her reaction to eleven’s regeneration, it’s no wonder she put even more of distance between them in series 8.

she’s trying to move on and she gets herself a boyfriend. of course, twelve makes this difficult even though he’s doing his best to do the same thing she is. if they don’t put a label on what they feel for each other, they can just as easily pretend it isn’t there. clara can pretend that she isn’t hurting danny when she lies to him about where she’s been. the doctor can act like seeing clara with a new boyfriend doesn’t hurt him deeply.

the central conflict between clara and the doctor in series 8 is miscommunication not corruption. clara wants to believe that the doctor makes her worse just as the doctor does because that’s easier than admitting that they make each other better. it’s easier to think they were better off when inevitably one of them gets left behind.

their dynamic is interesting because of the role reversal.

for once, the doctor is the one forced to deny his feelings. the doctor has to wait (until wednesday) to see clara. the doctor forgets that this thing between them can’t last. the doctor is the one risking the universe for the person they love.

Today's sticky note Whoufflé flavor is ElevenClara.

[inastarlesssky]

In the process of setting up a sideblog for Doctor Who where I will be dumping Whouffaldi, Whouffle (or Souffez, as I've seen) and Allonswin content because I love Clara and I've recently been drawn into the idea of her and the Tenth Doctor. So once I've got that up, I'll share the url and if anybody wants to follow me there, go for it. I do love Doctor Who. C:

The blog, if anyone's wondering is @trenchcoatsandtardises!

P.s. Would you folks help me reblog this to spread the word? C:

10 years ago, The Snowman premiered and gave us these two and sealed the deal between the two.

Also Merry Christmas.

Also Victorian Clara is the best imo.

Whouffle ftw

! vidding plans !

Thought I’ll just post some vidding plans, keep in mind nothing is set in stone, those are just things I hopefully have time to do. 

Things that are most likely to come:

solo Ominis Gaunt vid (I'm stuck on how to do it without it sucking tho 😩 because there's no way I’m doing it without my fancast, but there's only so much you can do with a solo vid for a blind character with a non-blind fancast)

Omi/MC/Seb triangle (probably to 'Another Love' or 'Devil Doesn't Bargain' 'cause they've been living in my head rent-free and I need them out)

solo Chapel vid

solo Spock vid

Chapel/Spock/T'Pring (because I really want to vid T'Pring as well but a triangle vid is probably the only way this is happening)

more Spapel MORE SPAPEL ALL OF THE SPAPEL 🌚

space multiship (Spapel, Merrical, Damerey, Souffez to 'Follow Me' by Ruelle, I've had this one on my to-do list for at least a year and I honestly hate myself for never getting to it, almost as much as I hate myself for never actually making a Damerey vid aside from the modern AU)

 Things that are maaaaaybe coming:

something with La'an or La'an/Kirk, I do have all her scenes vidding ready in case I feel inspired, so we'll see if I feel inspired for it I guess

something to Paris Paloma’s 'Labour' (but thankfully none of my fave female characters have it so bad to warrant using. but this song is sooo beautiful)

‘Devil Doesn’t Bargain’ multiship in case I don't use it for Hogwars Legacy trio

[the-force-awakens]

I was tagged by @alwritey-aphrodite ty scout!!

three ships: currently? souffez (eleven/clara), damerey, and moonscarab. this reflects nothing about me personally.

first ever ship: can I say both the doctor/rose and starfire/robin?

last song/album: uhhh last song was kiss me like nobody's watching by simple plan and I think the last album I listened to was reputation by ms swift.

last movie: rise of skywalker because I missed poe dearly and I went through a ton of Rey emotions instead

currently reading: I am...a very picky reader (always have been) so more often than not I do not often have anything I'm currently reading bc it normally takes a hyperfix for me to power through something and those happen rarely. I think the last one I picked up was a reread of princess and the scoundrel by beth revis though

currently watching: not...a lot. some rewatches here and there, but I do want to try lockwood and co at some point soon

currently consuming: the calmness of a dark silent room and how it resets my brain.

currently craving: more poe dameron content. also monzarella sticks. like I really, really want some monzarella sticks. God.

No pressure tags: @softlyspector @dameronalone @exlibrisastra @evaceratops @crimm-trent

Oh Clara. You are beautiful.

Those big sad eyes. I always know.

Message in a Bottle | Doctor & Clara

[proxy-alpha]

Happy 10-year anniversary to The Bells of Saint John (7x06).

Also the first proper introduction between the Doctor and Clara!

11 and Clara have the sweetest moments in this ep; 11 saving her from getting her consciousness into the mainframe, their motorcycle ride through London. 11 just touching/caressing Clara, the fact that they shared milkshakes, and them just being them... (I'm a hardcore whouffle/elevenclara shipper okay)

also 11clara >>>>> 12clara and pinkwald

[lilbeanz-wibblywobbly]

Something I think about quite often is "what if they'd plotted Clara’s Impossible-Girl storyline sooner and had her echoes dotted around more throughout eleven's era?"

What if one of her echoes had been Idris in 'The Doctors Wife'? That would've been a fantastic tie-in in my opinion-- granted it would twist the timeline more, and the Doctor would recognise Victorian Clara as the woman that had hosted the TARDIS, but again I feel that would've added even more to the mystery!
