the diehard clara hater/lover quiz is fun because some of the lover descriptions feel like they're describing the most toxic evil person on planet earth and it's like guys i think we have all forgotten the fact that canonically she is twelve's one tie to earth and has to remind him of how to care about people. and like she dies in a doctor-esque sacrifice to save someone. she just reflects the worst qualities of the doctor she is not an evil possessive selfish girlboss woman. i do wish she was more awful though i think it would be funny to have a sole companion like that making the doctor worse

#i feel like the writing about her is not 100% solid. if there's this much range in interpretation going on #although it may be fandom reading comprehension or whatever #i wish she was in more episodes of s9 to flesh her out more and develop her relationship w twelve more gradually #i wish we got to see why she is so dissatisfied with just having one life. and stuff exploring her life on earth #before she met the doctor. and why she reflects the doctor's uglier qualities. as opposed to many other companions before her #that instead became the hero of the story in the doctor's place (rose + bad wolf. martha walking the earth. doctordonna)#her relationship w danny feels wrong like she is just going through the motions w him. girl what is it ur drawn to abt him #there is quite obviously something wrong with her. i just feel like we needed to see more of what that something was #and dont say its the impossible girl stuff. thats the worst shit ive seen in my whole fucking life #quite possibly the most heinous arc for a companion of all time and im glad deep breath continues on like its not real #if there are any clara enjoyers out there feel free to monologue in my inbox about her. i think theres smth about her i don't really get.#like im missing a piece of the puzzle or something.#dr who #12 era
