clara oswald is a manic pixie dream girl, but only in the literal sense of each of those words, the non-metaphorical meaning. manic not in a cutesy ‘teehee i’m so quirky’ way, but in an ‘i’m an actual control freak who wants to be able to successfully balance two very different lives and be competent in leading both of them. apparently i also need to sleep and eat and relax like a normal human being??’ way. pixie not in an ‘uwu whimsical’ way, but in an ‘assertive woman of short stature who may or may not be a mischievous trickster entity from a distant mythological past, one that looks adorable at first glance but embodies ambiguity and mystery’ way. dream not in the typical sense, but in the ‘i walk through the valley of the shadow of death and fear no evil; i appear in your mind at inopportune times; you can’t get rid of the idea of me, i haunt you like a persistent nightmare’ sense. girl as in impossible.
point is, she is much-deserving of the label in a non-derogatory, non-dismissive way, but as a genuine expression of awe and fascination

I really like how series 9 of Doctor Who doesn't seem to have an overarching story-line like other series outside from the stuff with the hybrid and Lady Me except it actually does and it's easily the most blatant one about where the story is going as almost every episode serves to remind The Doctor that he loves Clara too much to be able to bear her inevitable death.

i love you time loops i love shifting architecture i love you haunted castles i love you brooding i love you stories as a life raft parables as a means of survival i love you incomprehensibly inconcievably long temporal intervals i love you determination i love you devotion i love you minotaur in the labyrinth love you trying again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. dying and dying and dying and dying and dying and still nothing feels worse than having lost your best friend but you can't give up, not now, not ever, how can you? the narrative in the shape of a girl declares that you're going to win. you could never do anything else. i love you gothic medieval architecture i love you cogs and gears and rusted machinery i love you RELIGIOUS IMAGERY i love you however long it takes however dark however deep however alone i love you
i love you METAPHORS FOR GRIEF!! the pain of losing someone you cared for feels like it lasts an eternity and it is an eternity. it feels as if you're a broken record, spinning round and round (like a circle in a spiral like a wheel within a wheel) but however many seconds in that eternity, however many years it takes to move on, to seek a future beyond the prison of your mind – it feels like billions for each and every one of us, as ghost clara says: "you're not the first person to ever have lost someone".
every grieving person is stuck in their own confession dial. an endless fruitless unceasing loop of guilt. what could i have done? what could i have done? what could i have done?
but however long it takes, it is not forever. nothing can possibly remain the same forever. simple physics. entropy. everything decays, even grief. piece by piece, word by word, bird by bird. this hole you dig is not your grave. get up. pull yourself out of the pit. even diamond is subject to erosion.

Why are the Twelfth Doctor's season finale titles like that. Death in Heaven -> Heaven Sent/Hell Bent -> The Doctor Falls. It's like they're telling their own story in just a couple words. Why does it sound like a story of an angel falling from heaven. I need to go to sleep

so @actual-changeling convinced me to watch dw (thanks alex. I’m doing Great), and despite just having finished the second episode (and despite alex having warned me about this over and over again) there’s a distinct pattern emerging:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the doctor will go, “heehee, i’m just a silly little guy (gn),” and then immediately turn his face towards the faltering, burning husk of Earth and say, “You spend all your time thinking about dying […] but you never take time to imagine the impossible—that maybe you survive”.

I've seen people talk about so many scenes and aspects about Hell Bent but I'm surprised I don't see "run you clever boy and be a doctor" be mentioned all that much. Maybe this is a hot take but I thought it was the most powerful moment of the episode.
Even if you weren't invested in Clara back in series 7, the way her catchphrase gets changed and recontextualized is imo still beyond heart shattering. It felt like the perfect culmination of everything the episode was building towards, I don't think there was a better way to put into words what Clara spent the entire episode trying to communicate to The Doctor.

Potential spoilers for Doctor Who Series 9, Episode 4: Before the Flood
" - I can't change what has already happened. There are rules
- So break them. And anyway, you owe me. You've made yourself essential to me, you've given me something else to be. And you can't do that and then die, it's not fair.
- Clara...
- No, Doctor, I don't care about your rules or your bloody survivor's guilt. If you love me in any way, you'll come back."
*scream into the void*
