fellow clara oswald enthusiasts, why do we think clara said she “had” to be with danny pink in dark water?

#read tags #i always felt it was odd choice of words when watching. #the obvious thing to say to someone you love is ‘i need to be with you’ not ‘i have to be with you’. #before anyone jumps me: i’m not a dannyclara anti. i’ve grown to quite like them actually. #but whether or not danny had died i don’t i think they would have worked out and not due to doctorclara! #series 8 constantly showed they wanted different things from life. danny wanted to settle. clara wanted the adventure. #this is even shown to be true in last christmas when clara’s an old woman. #with or without the doctor she’s made for the adventure. #moffat himself said they wouldn’t have worked out because clara was too ready to lie to him. #it was in a behind the scenes commentary for the magician’s apprentice i think. or the whole of series 9. #but it’s on video and it’s there. #so back to clara saying ‘i have to be with danny pink’ #she says she will do WHATEVER IT TAKES and go WHEREVER HE IS to be with him. #she must know that includes dying. so why does she say she has to? #perhaps i’m looking to much into it. #clara oswald #twelfth doctor #danny pink #doctor who #clara oswald meta #doctor who meta #just tagging twelve because it’s his era.
