one thing about me is i love when a camera intentionally cuts away to the implied subject of a thematically weighty statement
hypothetically i understand 11 x clara being two brunettes in brunette love but it’s just hard to really comprehend it beyond like buddy comedy at most when i know what’s coming. i don’t care that being clara’s fake boyfriend to meet her family at christmas happened to you. it should have happened to 12 instead :/
“how do you know your friends don’t secretly hate you/find you annoying” baby i’ve said things in discord servers that would make any other human being get a restraining order and move countries to never encounter my presence on this earth again, and they haven’t even blocked me
if my friends hated my guts they simply would not keysmash in response to some of the worst sentences ever put together by the human mind

the writers were so correct about twelve’s fake name. that fucker ain’t no john smith. i’ve never seen a man so very non-john smith coded. he is, however, oozing with basil energy.

Honestly tragic that we never saw Clara driving her motorbike with 12 riding on the back

Clara Oswald is a better person than me, because if a man sat in a torture chamber for 4.5 billion years, then came out and unleashed hell over his planet’s corrupt government and pulled me out of time just before I was about to die, because ‘he had a duty of care’… I would’ve sat not with him but ON HIM in those cloisters

The thing is Clara Oswald was always insane. But she is an insane woman who also happens to be a control freak. So she controls herself very very tightly.
When she first met the doctor, she ask him to come back and ask her tomorrow. This is not because she doesn’t want to travel with him let’s be real, we are talking a bout a woman whose most important possession is a travel book. She WANTS this. She wants this so bad she is afraid she has to test herself by first refusing. Test that she is still in control. So she asks the doctor to come back tomorrow.
This denying of herself to prove that she is still in control is imo what her story with Danny is. She wants the doctor. She wants the adventure, the travelling, all of time and space and the excitement of it all. She is also in love with the doctor, so much it scares her. So she put boundaries: the doctor is a hobby, she only does it on specific days. She is not in Love with him : here is the proof, she will date someone else. She chose Danny and that’s why she stick to her plan even when their first date sucks ass, even when their relationship is rocky. If it feels forced it’s because it is, she is forcing herself to be normal. “life would be so much easier if we fell in love with the right person, but then there’d be no fairy tales” Danny IS the right person, he is even cosmically mandated because she saw their descendant, but he is not the one Clara loves, because they are in a fairy tale.
When Danny dies it’s her control slipping, she is now fully embracing her addiction to an unhealthy degree that yeah, might be fueled by her grief, but I think was always there, under the surface, tightly controlled by the control freak.
