round-and-round-each-time: Amy pond and Clara Oswald for the meme?

AMY

What I like about them: She’s like me in that she’s not naturally strong but had to learn to be for the sake for her mental health. She’s loving and brave and very very clever.

What I dislike about them: She starts off very immature. Sexually immature, too. It’s like she genuinely didn’t realise that trying to kiss someone after they’ve said no is wrong, and that’s….a character flaw. To say the least.

Favourite moment: Oooh man. There’s too many! I love her fighting off the pirates. And I love that she totally, utterly went to pieces after seeing Rory die. Because I would. I think a lot of people would.

Least favourite moment: The incredibly icky aspects of the pregnancy arc. I mean, I don’t like that it was written like that. (That being said, I love AGMGTW as an episode. I just don’t like…well, my thoughts are summarised here really.)

A situation with this character that I want to see explored more: Er…see above I guess?

An interesting AU for this character: Recently I’ve wondered how she’d react to Twelve.

A crossover: Can you imagine Amy in the Game of Thrones verse? I can. I think her and Sansa would get along excellently.

OTP: Amy/Rory

Other ships: I dunno. I think Amy/Vincent might well have worked under very specific circumstances.

BROTP: Amy/Eleven

NOTP: Also Amy/Eleven. I think the show itself demonstrated why that wouldn’t work.

An assortment of headcanons: 

• She’s bisexual
• Aunt Sharon was not a good guardian to her
• She saw River plenty after TATM. (Nothing ever said she couldn’t!) It was River who buried her parents and engraved their names on the gravestone exactly how she remembered it from all those years ago.
• All of this
  

CLARA

What I like about them: She’s confident (very confident!), clever, authoritative, brave, loving…and one hell of a liar.

What I dislike about them: She’s not a great girlfriend. But she admits that she isn’t!

Favourite moment: Again, there’s just so many! But probably: everything that happened in the volcano. Especially “I’d do it again.”

Least favourite moment: I actually don’t think I have one?

A situation with this character that I want to see explored more: Honestly, I would have LOVED to see a properly ‘dark’ Clara. Going up against the Doctor as a real opponent, whether to get Danny back or ‘just’ because the problems with him she outlined in Kill The Moon had become too much for her to ignore. Sort of a ‘Someone has to take you down, and I love you, so it will be me’ sort of thing. I think that could have been amazing.

An interesting AU for this character: See above!

A crossover: I absolutely love the idea that Connie (Bucky’s date in Captain America, as played by Jenna) was a Clara echo.

OTP: Clara/Danny, even though it probably wouldn’t have worked out even without the latter’s death.

Other ships: Clara/Journey, Clara/Maisie

BROTP: Clara/the Doctor.

NOTP: Clara/the Doctor (I don’t really do Doctor/Companion shipping.)

An assortment of headcanons:

• She’s bisexual (there’s a trend here)
• She kept in close contact with the Maitlands after she left their employment
• She gradually became a trusted confidant of Kate Stewart, who offered her a job with UNIT. Clara said she’d think about it.
• She tolerates Linda rather than really likes her.
• She was considering asking Danny if he wanted to marry her and start a family (she would have named a first daughter Ellie) before fate got in the way.
