Wise Beneath My Years

Hey do you think Clara’s body being canonically frozen between one heartbeat and her last is an annoyance to her anatomically? Do you think her hands and feet are always painfully cold? Because she knew she was going to die and she faced the thing that was going to kill her as it approached. The moment between those two heartbeats her body would have been absolutely flooded with adrenaline- she would have been having the most intense fight or flight response in the world and she was frozen there. Do you think people comment that she unusually pale? Or do you think very bright light is painful for her because her pupils are permanently dilated?

The natural follow on to this is how do you think she copes with this? Cause like gloves wouldn’t work if she’s just not producing heat so do you think she’s a bit like a lizard and it’s not uncommon to find her warming her hands on the nearest hot object? Do you think she wears loads of bronzer to look more normal or just toughs it out? And the most important thing of all her solution to the eyes thing would 100% be sonic sunglasses bby

Get you a woman who can do both

I love the idea that the Doctor in one of their grandstanding I am the Doctor monologues with all their old faces shown to them for dramatic effect has to suddenly screech their tires and "hang on. What is ...that ?" Because right there amongst their faces is Clara Oswald grinning with her one dimple and cantaloupes for eyes. Because of course she's out in the universe , TARDIS , companion and Sonic in tow , doing such a bang up job of pretending that even the Doctor's records think she's one of them, complete with known characteristics , idiosyncrasies and a penchant for leather jacket minidress combos.

"Ah yes. Your 14th Face --"

" EXCUSE ME?!"

man I love clara oswald. just consistently a weird little freak incapable of being normal about her relationships. has a bunch of versions of her just dying all over the place. first time she ever gets seriously properly mad onscreen, it's at someone implying she doesn't want to fuck old men. collects immortal situationships like pokemon. idolises robin hood. has the best wardrobe of any new who companion. made out with jane austen. pathological liar and unhinged adrenaline junkie who is literally out there in victorian london having the worst day of her life while daydreaming about people fucking none of you were ready for my girl

Clara Oswald in Mummy on the Orient Express

I can't go long without rewatching Clara's scenes from The Zygon Invasion every other month or so. Naturally, you're gonna get another portrait of her from the ep :)

And I don't think I mentioned it on here, I enjoyed watching her on The Jetty so much as well ✨️

a bunch of claras...im figuring out how to draw her

Jenna Coleman as CLARA OSWALD Doctor Who (2005–) | 8.07 "Kill the Moon"

“Remember me, for we shall meet again”. (Clara Oswin Oswald)

echoes of clara trying and failing to save the timeless child. the child dying. clara dying. words embedded deep in their mind even once the memories are long gone.

no wonder eleven chased the mystery

why are her final words so resonant? why does her hand in his feel so familiar?
