you are not a true clara fan if you dislike series 7 clara and hate 11clara

Person A: "I love Clara so much, she's great!"

Person B: "Oh, I love her too!!!"

A: "But, like, only season 8 and season 9 Clara. I just wish they made the Victorian Clara an actual companion, I hate the Impossible Girl, she was so stupid and had no personality, and also she flirted with Eleven who was so sexist-horny-gross about her skirt, and they both were too flirty, but thankfully that ended, and Clara's relationship with Twelve was so deep and mature, they had all this beautifully written drama that still makes me cry, it wasn't pointless horny flirting, because..."

B: "Okay, bye."

I have to say...

For All Mankind is a good and REALLY underrated show...

Still the most amazing duo doctor who could ever had.

Jenna Coleman and Matt Smith in 2013, and 2023

To the 12 and Clara fans (this is my opinion)

Also souffez>whouffaldi

And no I’m hating on whouffaldi, I’m just expressing my opinion.

This is literally what I felt...

And I ship these 2.

Jenna be like : well, it looks like people moved on from shipping a character I played with a basically inmortal being.

So...let's do another.

So Captain Kirk/William Shatner went to space and back

"I'm a rocket man!"

A phase...

now in my kim possible phase after not watching the show in years...

also shipped them when i watched the show as a kid.

It’s my birthday

People don't talk enough about how fascinating Elevenclara were. Like on the surface they seem like a very cutesy couple, they're sort of in the 'honeymoon phase'. But really the doctor sees clara like a puzzle to be solved, their relationship, as much as I love it, is actually a little fucked up.

Even one of the most popular "whouffle quotes" is a sign of this, "you are the only mystery worth solving". Clara thinks the doctor just asked her to come along because he liked her, and that's not entirely false, but its clear the main drive for him in series 7 is finding out who she is.

Meanwhile we also see the start of clara trying to prove herself to the doctor, putting herself in danger for him and taking charge when he is unable to. This obviously continues a lot in series 8-9, this is what I see people talk about as "doctorification".

But what's also interesting to me is that in series 7, the doctor seems to be Clara's only friend. The only other people we see her interact with outside of adventures is the kids she's nannying, and even they end up getting into trouble bc of the doctor. It creates an interesting dynamic where it seems like both their lives revolve around each other, and neither is trying to change that, in fact they're both driving it harder.

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.

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.

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.

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.
