I also think the role of the assistant has changed since Steven Moffat started overseeing Doctor Who. Rose, Martha and Donna were chosen to travel with the Doctor because they showed in one way or another that they were smart and up to the challenge. Amy and Clara both come to the Doctor first and foremost as mysteries. Amy is the little girl who grew up with a rift in time in her bedroom wall, who doesn’t know why she doesn’t have parents. She spends many episodes being mystically both pregnant and not pregnant but doesn’t know a thing about it and all our information about it comes through the Doctor. What the fuck is that?
Some version of Clara dies on screen twice before she is taken on as the assistant, and it seems like the Doctor takes up with her to find out why. In both cases, the woman is not of interest for her character or her abilities, but for some fundamental mystery in her being. The mystery isn’t even a secret she’s keeping, something over which she has control- it’s something she does not know about, that the Doctor must puzzle out in his own mind. It’s not about her- it’s about what’s wrong with her. When Steven Moffat took over Doctor Who, women became a problem.

these are awesome, it’s like am action battle skirt. just high enough not to step on, the front has ample leg maneuverability, and it looks rad. Want

I ummed and ahhed about reblogging this to my art main for a few days, because I wasn’t sure any of you guys would want to see my fashion designs. That’s right, this is my skirt design, you can buy it from Chicstar.com, and it’s my name on the label. If I sound proud, it’s because I am! I don’t know jack about fashion so when I succeeded in getting this and several others through the Chicstar system I was over the moon! Chuffed to buggery and back!

I don’t wanna get on my followers wicks, so I’m asking! Would you guys like to see more of my fashion designs on here (produced and unproduced), should I upload them them just to my personal tumblr, or should I make a fashion-design specific blog? But for the record, I’d only be likely to update it a few times a year - I don’t do this a lot.

WOAH NO WAY YOU DESIGNED THIS? I would love to see more of your things holy crap. This is an amazing skirt and I’m sure whatever designs you do have are all really awesome!! :D (ALSO THANK YOU I REALLY WANTED TO BUY THIS)
