you know tbh... i never really "got" clara sdflkjf even after reading people's explanation's of her arcs... i don't know. i haven't rewatched her episodes in years (since they aired, i think) but even then whenever i read those metas or see scenes... im like "really cool but the vibes are Off" dslkfjd

and i think part of the reason is... actually in the styling and casting of jenna...?? because whenever i see clara, the things that come to mind are not the descriptors that fans use. ie: control freak, maniac, insane, on the Edge, feral. im like... yo, none of that comes across on a purely visual/aesthetic level dlkfjdslkfj

when i see clara and her outfits is like... ok so this is a character who is a) pretty but not vain, b) put together, c) fashionista but also practical, d) maybe an academic?? that's the most on point one, e) kinda very het vibes tbh, f) a normie overall.

like, it's just not this Space Helena Bonham Carter realness that people describe sdlfkjkj

#also sometimes it feels like... kind athat 'cishet white usa-sian middle class woman Disaster' trope that is so annoying to me anyway sdlfkj #if u want an example think of like...... most of the ~prestige tv out there that has a female lead in the last 10 years #and it is probably this #it's so annoying lol i think the only version ive proper liked is eleanor from the good place #and thats bc she was so absurd and was mixed with some 'white trash' tropes too #jessica jones could get annoying too but she was more geniunely against a Real Problem than other characters w/ this trope #anyway sdlkfjsd oh yeah back to clara sdlkjfs i dont know i just wish i could see what the fandom sees but im like. i'd rather watch bill #ya feel #dw
