Ok But I Really Want Boimler And T'lyn To Do Pon Farr

one thing i would mention is this:

somehow google thinks that the theory/speculation before the release of TNOTD is that clara is the doctor's and river's daughter. despite the speculation/theory already disproven with the episode's release and what clara was, some people I don't know how think clara is the daughter of 11 and river when it's just a bogus speculation/theory that even if true would be terrible considering the previous season literally revealed that river was the daughter of amy and rory...

Why Eleven x Clara is a NOTP for many — and why that misses the point completely.

A gentle, unapologetically emotional defense of one of the most quietly beautiful connections in all of Doctor Who.

⸻

1. “He sees her like a daughter.”

This is one of the most common reasons people list Eleven x Clara as a NOTP. And yes, Eleven has shown fatherly or protective sides — with Amy, for example — so the argument may seem valid at first.

But look closely. Watch their scenes. Feel the air between them.

He doesn’t look at Clara like a daughter.

He looks at her like someone who startled him back to life.

There’s admiration, yes. But also awe. Curiosity.

That breathless kind of attention you give to someone who makes the world feel different just by existing.

He never patronizes her. He never “parents” her.

If anything, Clara is often the more emotionally grounded of the two.

She holds him accountable. She challenges him. She saves him.

And when he calls her “My Clara” — it’s not in a possessive or paternal tone.

It’s gentle. Reverent. Personal.

As if her name is the one word he never wants to lose.

⸻

2. “She was just a mystery to him.”

At the beginning of their arc, yes — Clara was a mystery.

The Impossible Girl. The girl who died again and again.

But the magic of their connection isn’t that she was a puzzle — it’s what happened after the Doctor solved it.

He could have walked away once he understood who she was.

He didn’t.

He kept her close.

And in The Name of the Doctor, when she gives herself up to his timestream — not just once, but forever — he follows her in.

She’s dying. All the time. Somewhere. Every second of every day.

And still, he goes after her.

Not because she’s a mystery.

Because she’s his.

And even in the moments where the show avoids naming what they are to each other, the truth is everywhere — in the way they hold eye contact too long, in the way he softens only for her, in the way she knows exactly how to reach him when no one else can.

⸻

3. “River is his great love, canonically.”

Yes. She is. And that’s okay.

River is mythic.

Her love story with the Doctor is one of cosmic proportions — nonlinear, bold, time-bending.

But love isn’t a single lifetime.

And the Doctor isn’t a single man.

River is written in fire.

Clara is written in whispers.

With River, the story was told.

With Clara, it was felt.

Their love is not defined by declarations. It’s in the moments between. The silences. The sacrifices. The choices.

And perhaps the most Whoufflé thing of all is that neither of them says “I love you” — and yet they both do, constantly.

⸻

So why does Elevenclara matter?

Because it’s quiet.

Because it’s overlooked.

Because it never asks for attention — and yet it lingers.

It’s the glance held a second too long.

The breath caught in the throat.

The ache of knowing something so precious, it might break just by being named.

It’s:

• Clara jumping into a timeline to save him, knowing it will destroy her.

• The Doctor following her in anyway, knowing it will destroy him.

• The way he says “My Clara” like she’s the only constant in all of time and space.

• The way she sees him, even after regeneration, and whispers:

“You asked me if you were a good man. I don’t know. But I think you try to be. And I think that’s probably the point.”

They love each other — deeply, terribly, quietly.

And because they never say it out loud, many people miss it. It‘s between the lines.

But those who see it…

Those who feel it…

Know that Whoufflé isn’t a mystery.

It’s a memory.

A moment suspended in time.

Thank you for your attention. Now if you‘ll excuse me. :‘)

Pairing: Joe Blake/Juliana Crain Rating: PG-13 Warnings: Language, mentions of canon-typical violence. Summary: This takes place sometime during season two but is largely canon divergent. A story wherein Joe Blake starts to suspect what his father is up to, and reaches out to John Smith for help. He doesn’t expect the voice that greets him on the other end of the line.  Author’s Note: Special thanks to @ariadnequagmire for convincing me to write this/generally freaking out over this pairing with me.

It takes him two days after he realizes his father wants to turn the entire Reich inside out before he calls John Smith.

He’s not sure why – after all, he has no reason to trust the man, and the same goes the other way. The Obergruppenführer gave him orders, and Joe defied those orders at every turn. Not only that, but he practically worked with the Resistance.

He’s a traitor.

There’s no reason why John Smith should help him now.

When he gets back to the mansion, he picks up the phone. He hates himself for it, because he let John Smith manipulate him at every turn, but he has no other choice. He has no one left to turn to.

The rings seem to go on forever, and just when his heart rate starts to pick up, a voice answers on the other end of the line.

“Smith residence.”

Joe freezes, phone pressed to his ear, blood frozen in his veins.

“Hello?”

He can’t speak. He can’t open his mouth because it’s her. He would know that voice anywhere – he hears it in his dreams, and in his wildest fantasies when he’s running on too little sleep.

“Juliana.” He croaks, and he knows he’s not imagining the hitch of breath he hears on the other end of the line.

Currently making a Whouffle/Souffez (11xClara) fanfic.

Will be a long one.

Updates soon.

The Snowmen.

My big hot take about Twelveclara is that I don't understand liking the ship but hating Elevenclara. Sure I can understand something like prefering the chemistry but on a deeper level Twelveclara highly builts upon Elevenclara.

The level of acceptance, love, and obsession both have with each other isn't as strong without Clara spending years with The Doctor before 12, without saving him through his entire life no matter the face, without Clara seeing him at his lowest point and daring to commit genocide and forgiving him, without Clara saving The Doctor because she doesn't care about her stupid true name but that he IS The Doctor, without she losing 'her' Doctor but still trying to build a relationship with his new version, etc.

Twelveclara is great, but it just wouldn't hit the same without Elevenclara.

11 and Clara had more time together than you think.

This is not an 11 vs 12 thing, I'm way past that.

In terms of episode number, Clara had 2 series with 12 compared to the half-series Clara had with 11. But there is this that I would love to mention that 11 and Clara, technically had 3 years together, from Clara's POV. and there's canonical evidence for this due to perhaps a mistake Moffat made by accidentally making a retcon he didn't know he was making.

Point 1: Clara's (Then) age.

In the Bells of Saint John, after laying Clara down in bed the Doctor was looking around and found upon Clara's 101 Places to See book which was given to her from her mother and had written down her age throughout the year, there is only two years missing and it was 16, maybe connected with implication of her grief to her mother, 23 is also missing but Clara may have forgotten to put it. But the latest was 24. Implying that Clara is 24 by the time of the Bells of Saint John. The episode taking place in 2013, which implies that Clara (before then) was younger than Jenna who was 26 at the time of filming (Fall of 2012).

Point 2: The Accidental Retcon.

In Deep Breath which takes place immediately after Time of the Doctor (Christmas 2013), Strax who was examining Clara mentions she was 27. Jenna's actual age during filming (January 2014) and with that, here it comes; Clara had spent 3 years of her life with the Eleventh Doctor. With this accidental retcon by Moffat which he forgot to address Clara's age as seen in Bell's with the marking down on her book by putting down Jenna's actual age.

Point 3: The Time between The Name and Day of the Doctor.

The Name of the Doctor, ended with the reveal of the War Doctor with the Doctor, carrying an unconscious Clara, out of his time stream. With this, the next episode/special: The Day of the Doctor. Clara was no longer working as a nanny from the previous series but now as a teacher in Coal Hill, a call and message sent her to where the Doctor was, after a bike ride and entering the TARDIS, both entailed a huge hug together and from the dialogue, which implied it has been months since the last time they travelled together. (presumably the Doctor giving her space to adjust her new job as a teacher.) It's likely that before Clara got to her job, both her and the Doctor had travels that lasted in her 25th and 26th years. Considering Clara was 27 in Time and Deep Breath, there may have been more travelling before Time of the Doctor took place.

Conclusion.

From the points I mentioned, the first time Clara met the 11th was when she was 24 and during then she had 3 years with him until he regenerated as the 12th by the time she was 27.
