“I was talking to a little girl a couple of years ago and she said she wanted to be Amy Pond.
‘Not the Doctor?’ I asked.
’No, I want to be the boss of the Doctor.’” – steven moffat [the companions]

I think this is it.
I think this is my favorite post on tumblr.
that’d totally be their reactions!!!
Argh okay NO. I saw something about this post but I hadn’t seen it but I’m just going to explain this as best I can and wait for the arguments to evolve. Okay.
Clara is LITERALLY speaking born time and time again with the sole purpose of saving The Doctor (Oswin Oswald, Clara Oswin Oswald and the remaining echoes). So there’s that.
I also don’t think that any of them would react even sort of like this, not even Rose who would be, in my opinion, the most likely to react poorly.
Every one of these girls saved The Doctor and every one of them could lay claim to being born to save him. On many occassions, they make jokes about how he is useless without them and what would he do without them etc, so none of them would even be surprised that he’d need a woman to save him because he tries hard to be clever but he’s old and sometimes he doesn’t see things the way a younger companion does.
Besides all of that, Martha would just be glad he found someone to travel with. Martha is super underappreciate not only because she is a BAMF but because she is so calm and easy going and she gets that The Doctor needs a companion. Donna a)doesn’t remember him [sorry it hurts me too] and even if she did, she was nothing but nice and happy when she met Rose and Martha and even invited Martha to travel with them. Amy too wouldn’t react like that because 1. she didn’t want him travelling alone and would be glad Clara was out there helping him and 2. her daughter was born to kill The Doctor.
TLDR: Everyone of them was technically born to save The Doctor because they all save him and without them he’d be a million kinds of dead. But Clara particularly was literally born in dozens of lifetimes with the sole purpose of finding and saving his life. These reactions aren’t even really fitting to their characters.
(Thank you.)
Who the hell is looking at Doctor Who and thinking “You know what we really need here? More girl hate!”
important feminist things
mothersRose: you upset my mum
Elton: great big absorber beast from outer space and you’re upset with me?
Rose: no one upsets my mum.
The past couple of days I’ve been uploading some of my old fanmixes from Livejournal onto 8tracks. In alphabetical order, here they are:
Down We Go (Anakin/Padme from outta Star Wars)
I Will Make You Hurt (Harry Osborn from outta Spider-Man)
Leaving Land (Mickey Smith from outta Doctor Who)
She Learned (Rose/Doctor, mostly Rose really, from outta Doctor Who)
Sit Down Next To Me (Ursula from outta Spider-Man)
The Streets Of London (V for Vendetta)
It took ages, I updated the cover art for most of them. Whew.
squiddishly:
Clara’s mum was killed on the day that Rose helped Nine defeat the Nestene Consciousness — the day the Autons rampaged London.
say whaaaaaat
OH MY GOD
I can’t think of a way of phrasing this without sounding horrible, but I really like the idea of seeing the human cost of the many invasions Earth has experienced lately.
