One Thing I Would Mention Is This:

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.

Why Eleven X Clara Is A NOTP For Many — And Why That Misses The Point Completely.

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.

Why Eleven X Clara Is A NOTP For Many — And Why That Misses The Point Completely.

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.

Why Eleven X Clara Is A NOTP For Many — And Why That Misses The Point Completely.

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. :‘)

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).

11 And Clara Had More Time Together Than You Think.

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.

Because it's impossible, and you're my impossible girl.

the doctorclara/whouffle/whouffaldi/elevenclara/twelveclara/souffez name debacle.

nobody pointed this out a lot because many have been forgotten.

shipping naming conventions then:

take half of a ship's character's name and/or object, combine it with other half of character's name and/or object.

in this case: whouffle

who: doctor WHO (any doctor, eleven for easy sakes)

uffle: clara (soufflé, reference to clara baking soufflés in asylum as oswin and references to her failing to bake a soufflés)

shipping naming conventions now:

take both first names of ship and combine it

in this case: elevenclara

eleven (11th doctor) + clara (clara oswald): elevenclara/11clara.

Here it goes.

Back then, whouffle was born following the release of Asylum of the Daleks. Because Clara's hasn't been properly revealed yet and nobody thought better, whouffle came as a result of Who + Souffle; names and objects that back then how shipping naming conventions worked.

The Doctorclara/whouffle/whouffaldi/elevenclara/twelveclara/souffez Name Debacle.

Whouffle was used to refer to 11clara (and her echoes) before the announcement of Capaldi as the 12th in June 2013. Then, because it was simpler, they decided to add -aldi (capaldi = 12) to the end of whouffle; whouffaldi (whouffle + capaldi) . and there was another thing; the 50th anniversary (which featured 10, resulting in allonswin (allonsy + oswin) (im not a huge 10clara fan tbh)). With this, they elected to revise the doctorclara naming scheme and added a new name for 11clara; souffez (soufflé + fez) and whouffle relegated to be as doctorclara.

The Doctorclara/whouffle/whouffaldi/elevenclara/twelveclara/souffez Name Debacle.

for over a decade, it's always been this. 12clara was always referred to as whouffaldi and whouffle, 11clara was referred to as whouffle and souffez before souffez got dropped by around 2018-2019 due to confusion, whouffle being more recognizable and longer used, and more importantly, simplicity. by now, 11clara is referred to as whouffle by many and 12clara is referred to by both whouffaldi and whouffle which is understandable and annoying since the revision stating that whouffle referred to as doctorclara but can be annoying to someone like me who looks for 11clara content (images/gifs) with majority got taken over by 12clara content.

The Doctorclara/whouffle/whouffaldi/elevenclara/twelveclara/souffez Name Debacle.

looking back and now use 11clara/elevenclara and 12clara/twelveclara. im glad we now use this current naming convention because we can denote it more simply but knowing how much tumblr had so many 11clara content lost to time and the amount of 12clara posts via the whouffle tag. it's understandable why this happened.

tl;dr 11clara fan is annoyed at old shippers for shipping naming convention.
