I'm still trying to cling onto denial, even though there's practically nothing to cling to at this point. Although I did have quite a sexy dream about Takuto last night, so perhaps my mind is coming to terms with this by shifting to 'shipping Takuto/me. Wouldn't have expected that, but there you go.

Now that I think about it, my opinion on companions tends to alternate in a slightly unfair way. I loved Rose and Donna; I don't dislike Martha or Amy, but they suffered for coming after companions I adored. Liking Clara would fit right into that; having had Amy's run in between, I've come to terms with the loss of Donna and am now ready to embrace the new companion on her own merits.
