Let's be real, in the cloisters, Clara told the Doctor that she loved him. And I mean romantically. It's pretty obvious to me. I also think that the Doctor made her understand, without saying the famous words (since he was still incapable of doing so at that time) that he felt the same way for her.
dr who really is just about holding hands while running huh (and i mean this both jokingly and seriously. its about loving people under all circumstances. its about staying close to that one special person even when its so dangerous that staying together is just inconvenient. but you do it anyways because theyre your special person and how would you get out of the Problem Of The Week without them??????? but it's also about holding hands while running)
I just rewatched "Face the Raven" it hit me so hard when Clara says "You can't let this turn you into a monster. So, I'm not asking you for a promise, I'm giving you an order. You will not insult my memory. There will be no revenge. I will die and no one else, here or anywhere, will suffer" and the Doctor responds with "What about me?" 😭😭😭
why am I not in a time traveling spaceship with a basically immortal alien who cares so much for me that when I inevitably die he can’t take it and tries to fight the laws of time itself to get me back
I am deceased.⚰️⚰️⚰️ Almost literally as I nearly choked to death on my soda when this came across my DW ebay search results.
How about a slow-clap for the editors over at SFX for this cover?
I mean, honestly...
As a diehard Whouffaldi shipper, I thank you from the bottom of my hearts for this absolute fucking gem.
Clara's face too though 😯 ...I can't.
Have straight been laughing for 10 minutes.
Some people : Clara and the doctor's relationship is purely paternal/platonic.
Me :
Oh yes. It's so paternal/platonic to be happy at the (false) idea that Clara is dating a man who looks like her old self = 11th Doctor. It's so fatherly/platonic to look jealous of Danny. It's so paternal/platonic to play Pretty Woman to Clara. So fatherly/platonic to seek her back after she's been dead for 4 billion years in pain.
It's such a paternal/platonic relationship for Clara to tell the Doctor about another man she wanted to marry but couldn't because HE WAS IMPOSSIBLE ! It's so paternal/platonic that Danny himself tells Clara that she loves the Doctor. It's a paternal/platonic term for Clara to say I love you while looking at the doctor ! Or even better ! :
"If you love me... in any way... You come back." - Clara.
"I come back for you." - Doctor.
And if anyone tries to pretend for a moment that Clara has always had a fatherly relationship with the Doctor, even 11, I remotely tear their eyes out. It was perpetual flirting !
There's no reason the doctor should suddenly love Clara as his daughter after regeneration ! It's still the same fucking person ! Admit it once and for all people ! You simply have a problem with Capaldi's age, which prevents you from accepting the story with Clara as a romance ! I think what annoys me the most is people who go like, "Wow, that's not romantic love, but it's so much more than that, strong and extraordinary." Stop being hypocritical or trying to embellish your point. Clara and the Doctor is a ROMANTIC love story ! The actors themselves fucking confirmed it, and the show couldn't have been clearer ! Why suddenly you need a real direct statement between the two ?! The doctor never said I love you to the women in his life ! Shit ! Oh, and I swear I once saw someone say that their relationship couldn't be romantic, because romantic feeling depends on, get this, sexual attraction !
i managed to save THE edit that got me back into doctor who (also ps i’m still prepared to die on the “i wish he never got his memories of clara back” hill i ❤️ tragedy)
