Like, I can appreciate him, but Ten hit all the buttons from my Buffy years, and then Eleven (and the Ponds) took over my world, and although Twelve is great he's... a Doctor. And Eleven was MY Doctor. I can understand that. A *terrific* Doctor though! (glares) I think Eleven is mine too, though I’m usually unreasonably protective of characters I cosplay as, so maybe I’m biased (I cosplay as 4 too, but I did 11 first). And I would like to point out that most of my stuff is general , 11-oriented, or interconnected in some weird way, so if you want, I’m not running out any time soon.
I have STILL not written meta about The Husbands of River Song, despite RIVER! Might I surprise you with something there? I mean, you had made a post. Btw, I'd really like you to see a thematic trilogy of fics I wrote during Christmas which are about all the Doctors. And they do contain everything that I have written which is THoRS related. And they are the "ending", everything up until now let's say, is wrapped up, I really like them. Really, about anything: if you like, I could just gradually post it and you read it in 2020 if you want. You don't have to go looking.
For others, obviously the Twelve/Clara co-dependency was like catnip and wholly irresistible, and I dearly wish I felt like that too. It’s a different relationship than say, River or the Ponds, and very complicated. (There’s this rare, very deep, utterly platonic bond, they both become Living Emotional Crutches to each other, they are too alike as personalities (tricky, control issues, sense of adventure, secretiveness and lying, selflessness), great protectiveness on the Doctor’s part and worry for his morality on Clara’s, No Social Skills Doctor who is human in her presence, Clara becoming like him and learning, saving and/or (re)making each other many times in every sense of the word, a mutual reverence/worship because of what you have done for me/what you are, they both suffer/have suffered tragedies and help each other through them etc) But different is not bad. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I just get annoyed at people who are completely, exclusively in love with it or utterly, unreasonably hate it. And they are many. I think you didn’t (“feel like that”), *precisely* because you focused so much on Clara’s meta and symbolic potential –and you were rewarded, so… You’ll be too busy shouting “YES! ALL THE THINGS! SYMBOLISM! THE SONG! DINER TARDIS! WOOOO!” (exaggerating) I mean, you *will *get emotional, but not as much.
Also, am writing my own stuff (both fic & original) and tend to fall into those rabbit holes. Again, totally understandable, and your stuff is great. If you say "just one/a small one/a fragment", or even "do nothing", I do nothing.
Search " In which the 12th Doctor is a famous philosopher". LOL! Although there is a term for that: Spatial genetic multiplicity. ;) That’s just what they want you to think! (puts on tinfoil hat). And this is so much more entertaining! Seriously though, it’s uncanny. The other day I found an early 20th century Russian painting. A friend of mine found one where there’s even the fabulous red velvet coat. And we were like “clones. The only explanation is clones.” –“He is too awesome! We need MORE!”
