A Girl Against the World.: Clara and the Doctor

So for those of you who don't watch Doctor Who, I suggest you go read some other blog post of mine. Maybe one about Why I Think I'm a Vampire or maybe the one about the Say Something Music Video. Because I'm about to dig deep into the relationships of Doctor Who and what this means for Whouffle.

ANYWAY.... So the Doctor has had many relationships over the 50 years of the show and they are all different. I'm not going to address the Classic Who relationships because if I did that we'd be here all day. So in the New Who there are several relationships that have SPECIAL interest.

BTW, this is going to be a long post....

1- The Doctor and Rose.

Look at these two and tell me they're not in love!

This is the biggest and most dramatic relationship in the whole show. The Doctor loves Rose in TWO of his regenerations and by the way the Eleventh Doctor talks, probably three. This is huge. Usually the Doctor loves a person in one of his lives, because no matter what any one tells you HE CHANGES. Just look at the Ninth vs. Eleventh Doctor. The Ninth is broken and vulnerable, but Rose fixes him. When he loses her in his Tenth regeneration, he breaks again and this time nothing really fixes him. The Eleventh Doctor is so different from the Ninth, Nine would give you a chance and count to ten and then blow you up. Eleven just blows your ass up. Rose fixed the Doctor and he remembers her for the rest of his life(s).

2- River and the Doctor

Does this look like the type of look a man (or time lord) would give the woman he loves?
I don't think so...

But just because the Doctor never forgets her doesn't mean he didn't move on. But I don't think that the Doctor loves River in a romantic way. Now before you kill me hear me out. River tells him that she's his wife when he firsts meets her. Because he then knows how she dies I think he felt obligated to love her, to make her death worth it. When you see him interact with her, he is all flirty and charming, but there are never the long lingering looks that two people in love have. Sure River sends a flood of love struck looks at him, but it seems to me that she makes him more uncomfortable than happy. She is a reminder of death and I don't think he ever looked at her the same way as with Rose.

3- Friendships.
The Doctor has lots of friendships which helps us gauge the other relationships of the Doctor's.

Amy Pond- purely platonic. He rejects her several times.
Martha- So platonic it hurts....
Donna-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! *breathes* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Rory-Well there was the kiss... JK! Amy would kill him.....

Then there is the last and most important one

4- Clara and the Doctor.

Definitely one of my favorite Doctor/Companion teams - Eleven and Clara. <3

ADORABLE.
LOOK AT THEM. LOOK. LOOK. LOOK.
*dies from overload of adorableness and feels*

If you type in "The Doctor and" into Google the first result to pop up is... The Doctor and Rose. Not surprising. But the second is the Doctor and Clara.

Here are the reasons why I think the Doctor and Clara are the most adorable thing ever

1- She saved his life. Lots of times.
I'm not just talking about the whole "I was born to save the Doctor thing." If it wasn't for her we wouldn't have the Doctor right now. She was the one who begged the time lords to save the Doctor in the Time of the Doctor. It was her. She saved him. We owe her everything.

2-She saved Gallifrey.
If it wasn't for Clara then the Doctors would have blown up Gallifrey. She was the one who was crying and then told the Doctor that she never imagined HIM pressing the button. That's what hit him. He couldn't do it after that. He looked for another way out, and found it.

3-She isn't a typical companion.
Put aside all the other stuff, she didn't say yes to the Doctor's invitation to fly away with him right away. She told him to come back tomorrow. No other companion did that. She didn't throw her self on him. Clara is also the only companion the Doctor actively looked for. After he met her in the Dalek Asylum and in Victorian London, he became a MONK to find her. He didn't become a monk to find Donna....

4-She is hilarious.
She keeps the Doctor on his toes and teases him and laughs and is generally the cutest thing that ever walked the face of the earth. Or any other planet....

5-She flirts. He flirts. They flirt.
There is so much flirting!! Just... look.

That hair though....

And...

Yeah, she is.

6-He really likes her. A lot. Way too much to be platonic.

He does crazy things for her. Loves to show off. And just generally adores her.
