In the Madman's Box @off-in-a-blue-box-blog - Tumblr Blog

When you realize that you’re just there and don’t have any actual relationships with anybody and your disappearance would go unnoticed because it’s not like you matter to anyone

off-in-a-blue-box-blog

That's not entirely true, Madeline my dear.

You matter; you just can't see the forest for the trees right now. Lives are made of moments, brief and beautiful and tragic but they're the threads in a tapestry. And your tapestry is so beautiful and matters very much to me.

Here's To a Universe of Possibilities

To you being strong enough to make it through this year.

Here's to changes. Some good, some bad.

Here's to a new me.

Here's to fighting monsters, both seen and invisible.

To dancing in joy and sorrow and, sometimes, silliness.

But most importantly, here's to you. To all you've overcome, to all you will continue to be. To being yourself, and being true to yourself.

I'm very proud of you all. Have the New Year you want.

Ehhh, Clara… I think I broke something..

fndungeonmom

so what you are saying is that the Doctor is responsible for tumblr’s new layout

off-in-a-blue-box-blog

Don't blame me for this...hodge-podge of nonsense.

My aesthetics are much more appealing.

This Website Changed...

It's my regeneration all over again. Did they make it darker?

I think they made it darker.

Hope

I could use some hope right now. Just raw uncensored hope. I need to get my letter to Hogwarts, a big blue police box land in my room. See an impala with two guys and a angel in it and I need it now more than ever.

My mom is taking my books away.

So if you see this Doctor please come and get me. I’m getting desperate.

off-in-a-blue-box-blog

And I can't abide someone taking books away. What sort of addled pudding-brain does that?

The TARDIS is filled with books, anyway. Traveling might be too much of a strain for you at your age and at my new pace, but the TARDIS doors are open for you any time, and I'll leave a comfy chair by the fireplace in the library.

Just don't rearrange my books. I have them sorted just the way I like them.

Come on, then.

#doctor who #twelfth doctor #you're welcome to most of the books #just stay out of the cookbooks #some delicacies just aren't for everyone

And Here We Are

Not the Doctor you're familiar with. Or have been familiar with. There's been some changes.

I get to complain about things now. I'm less forgiving. I seem to have lost a lot of my patience.

I'll make no apologies for who I am now. But you should know one thing.

You're still my priority. Namely, protecting you and making sure you have nothing to worry about.

I still consider each of you one of my companions. If you want to leave the TARDIS, I'll understand. If you stay, however, I can't promise your safety. You'll have to do a lot more looking after yourself.

I'm not your dashing hero anymore. When I say "Run", I'll expect you to be behind me; I won't look back to check. I trust that you're competent and capable enough to survive. Because you are, you know.

So...

#doctor who #twelfth doctor #how many of these tags do i have to make?#they seem excessive

I...

am The Doctor.

And I have work to do.

#doctor who #twelfth doctor #i'm beginning to find my purpose

Hello Tumblr Kiddos!

How are we today?

Lovely day! Beautiful time! Adventures with the Ponds will do that, but I just wanted to check in with you all and...

Wait...

...This is not my TARDIS...

Oh.

This is my future self's TARDIS...sorry. Bit of a mixup. Wibbly-wobbly.

How is he? Does he treat you well? I'm sure he does. He's me!

Regeneration can be tricky, though. Are you all okay? Adjusting well? I know this isn't the easiest thing to get used to. I should know, I've been through ten of them! Or twelve, but who's counting? I'm certainly not.

While I'm here, I should probably ease you into this. I know I might be gone in your time, but nothing ever truly ends. This Doctor is going to be different, I assume, though there will be some consistencies.

For instance, he is still going to care about you as much as I do. That seems to be a trait I carry through every incarnation. So never be afraid to ask him for help, or go to him for an adventure or just to chat.

Never let me be alone, alright? Because I will always do my best to never let you be alone.

And I have a hunch that this was a recent regeneration. So it's up to you to remind him of what kind of man he is. Which just means to be your regular, perfect selves.

Lastly, don't miss me too much. I might have regenerated, yes, but this incarnation of me exists across all of time and space, just as all my past lives do. We live on, so take heart in that.

So mourn slightly, but prepare for new adventures with a new me. I'm positive new me will make them grand.

Know that I love you, and I will continue to love you in this life and the next.

Geronimo!

#doctor who #eleventh doctor #twelfth doctor #i hate it when i mix up the tardises #but i hope this helped in any small way

Well.

That was unexpected.

A few updates while the Doctor continues to...figure himself out.

Firstly, among watching my Doctor regenerate and dealing with a new, slightly-crazed version, I lost a bit of time. Secondly, Tumblr's new post system left me unable to make new posts for a while, because the Internet is vast and confusing at times.

But as the Doctor continues to figure himself out in this regeneration, I'll try to hold the tide back. Answering his asks, though, feels like a slight invasion of privacy. I'm sure the askers want their questions answered by The Doctor and not me anyway.

I'm just sorry it's taking him so long to get sorted out. Hopefully he'll be back very soon, and hopefully I'll still know the Doctor when he returns.

#doctor who #clara oswald #twelfth doctor #copious amounts of apologies because of the absence

I Think...

I'm beginning to figure out who I am.

#doctor who #twelfth doctor #it's been a long time coming

fndungeonmom

i really wanna wear white button up shirts with rolled up sleeves and vests with a neck/bow ties but i’m a girl so yeah…

off-in-a-blue-box-blog

Well, you already know my previous incarnations thoughts on bow ties. And I had always considered them to be gender neutral, like all clothes.

Wear what you makes you happy, my dear.

I am not important My light going out won’t cause change Stars go out all the time And people still think the sky is beautiful

off-in-a-blue-box-blog

Ah, but a light going out will always darken someone's world. Every light is important for at least one other individual.

Your light matters.

Hello...again.

Still Clara. Sorry if you were expecting the Doctor.

He's currently attempting to figure out who he is. It might take a while. The last I saw of him he was locking himself in a room on the TARDIS muttering about his kidneys and the various methods to alter their colouring.

I'm really not sure when he's coming back out.

In the mean time, I think I'll be running his Tumblr blog for now. At least until he figures out his new personality and has settled into it. I really hope you understand.

I'll answer any pressing questions in the inbox as I think the Doctor would, but I'll leave the adventuring to him. Wouldn't feel right butting into an adventure that you and him were having.

So for now, I'll leave it at introductions. I'm Clara Oswald, and I'll be your blog host-person until the Doctor is back on his feet.

#doctor who #twelfth doctor #clara oswald #temporary replacement #shouldn't be long before the doctor is back and ready to go #but i'm very excited to be here with all of you!

Minor Note

I now have over 700 companions.

You're all just the best. Sincerely and truly, the most fantastic companions.

...I think I need to lie down. Post-regeneration short-term memory loss.

Er...Clara here. The Doctor is...resting. I think. This is very sudden. I'm not exactly sure what to do.

I suppose I'll try to carry on a bit while he sorts out the new body. The Doctor, I hope, would want you all to know just how much he appreciates you following him and being his companions.

It's definitely not for the faint of heart.

That's why it's a good thing he's got over 700 companions looking out for him, isn't it? And all of them as brave as any companion he's ever had.

#doctor who #twelfth doctor #clara oswald #700 companions is incredibly impressive #if the doctor was awake he'd want you to know how impressive you are

Hello!

That was much faster than my previous regenerations. Must be the new cycle. I -

Oh. I...I seem to have new kidneys.

That's a tad disappointing. Colour is everything!

Bah. I'll adapt. Or suffer in silence.

I'm The Doctor. Twelve. One in the new cycle. But Twelve because it's less confusing.

That's that taken care of...now...where were we?

Ah, yes. A question.

#doctor who #twelfth doctor #my first post #isn't this exciting?

You Have All Been Wonderful

But there's a simple truth to the way my life works. To the way all of our lives work.

I've given this advice in some capacity on this website many times before. It was always my hope that you would take it to heart and follow it to your next great adventure.

I suppose it's now my turn to follow it.
