#so Ashildr

[weird-tea]

So you know in the episode Listen with Orson Pink stranded on a mysterious planet at the end of the universe? And there are all those spooky noises outside? Yeah according to one of the audio dramas that Jack Harkness & River Song just fucking with him.

I do not know what to do with this information. It is simultaneously the dumbest explanation ever but also makes way too much sense for the Doctor Who Universe.

Songs about soldiers should be sad, don't you think?

So what's wrong with Clara, then? There's nothing wrong with her. Why haven't you made her immortal? Well, look how you turned out.

I've missed you all, ToA fam!!😭 This is the piece I’d been working on for the ToA Zine that just came out but I sadly couldn’t finish it (or my writing piece) in time😩 Still wanted to share what I had though! I missed posting content of my beloved Champions of Arcadia🥹

The Doctor: humans die so soon :( they're so weak :( and they age :(

Jack: I'm literally undying and unaging –

The Doctor: damn can't get rid of this bitch :/

Jack & Ashildr: Doctor our immortality is literally your responsibility. And if you take us with you you won't have to worry about putting us in danger !

The Doctor: I need to get away from this bitch as far as possible

thanks to teny i have been thinking of them again

[ohmerricat]

maybe this is me stating the obvious because i'm ten years late to the party again, but the more i think about it, the more i realise gifting/burdening ashildr with immortality was a time lord victorious moment straight out of waters of mars, not a true gesture of kindness like the decision to save the pompeiian family – despite his attempt to absolve himself of guilt and to "logic" himself into believing that these situations are analogous, that this is the only right thing to do. why do i think so? well, because for starters he practically phrases it like a challenge: "i'm the Doctor, i save people, and if anyone up there who's listening has any sort of problem with that..."

it's a declaration of rebellion, right? the kindness aspect is present, yes, absolutely, but it stems from selfishness too: above everything, it comes from a desire to prove (to Clara and himself and anybody that's listening) that he's still the Doctor. if he had genuinely been acting rationally, if his intentions had been purely altruistic, he would never have subjected a young teenager to immortality without her consent or knowledge, tearing her away from everyone she loves, especially being as painfully aware of the loneliness it can bring as he is.

sure he gives her the second patch in a hurry, after looking at clara no doubt, but does he explain anything? does he even bother to tell ashildr the truth? no, — the most important reason behind this action was winning a debate with himself and imaginary past/future enemies. that's why it backfires. that's why he visits her only on a scant few occasions over 800 years, that's why he watches her from afar but never dares come close until a coincidence brings them together.

it's not even a jack situation: she's functionally immortal because of alien technology, not divine badwolf vortex-magic. she's not a fixed point. he could visit her anytime, but he doesn't, because ashildr's a living breathing representation of his guilt, walking the earth and never finding peace. a reminder of his tendency to run from the fallout of his rash decisions.

basically, as i said before, it's totally a victor frankenstein predicament. you created a monster out of hubris, brought it back from the dead, then turned and ran from your creation, ashamed of the surrogate child you fathered. the creature you assembled. they're your responsibility now. tough.

ok so wild blue yonder. this is a completely batshit theory and I don’t necessarily want it to happen - I’m not really into “cameo culture” I guess you could call it, I think ykwim - but I do think it’s potentially plausible based on what we have so far

so there’s that whole leaked plot about an evil 11 and 12 taunting donna and 14 in a “corrupted” tardis, whatever that means. I have absolutely no idea what the original source for that is, so take it with a grain of salt, but I am seeing people saying it everywhere. there’s also those photos of an unidentified short person walking onto set under a lot of protection. for some reason I can’t find a single photo anywhere but I SWEAR I saw pics and news stories about it like 8 months ago trust me I’m not insane

so this is my theory. it’s clara’s tardis.

the doctor’s tardis is so not doing all that extra shit just because of coffee. I think the coffee broke something, and then sent them somewhere the tardis did NOT want to go - inside another tardis. and yeah crazy hijinks ensue because of all the horrible time stuff going wrong with a tardis being inside another tardis, very “journey to the centre of the tardis” and house from “the doctor’s wife” vibes.

idk if the doctor would remember clara, that whole thing is pretty unclear tbh, but as she met the 10th doctor she would absolutely recognise him. and maybe this is where the 12 and 11 idea comes in. linking into the mystery of “why did this face come back” as well as obviously the timey-wimey plot of the episode, maybe 14 keeps shifting between 11 and 12 - eg the two doctors who had clara as their companion. cool as well if clara shifts between splinters or something, but that’s just my little brainchild not an actual theory.

but yeah that’s it! it’s clara’s tardis.

like i said, I don’t necessarily want this to happen, but I do enjoy the concept and honestly with the evidence we have it genuinely seems plausible. lmk what you think!!! I swear to FUCK if this actually happens- 😃
