We're all stories in the end.

Happy Birthday Matt Smith!

Also, and I’m guessing this is no coincidence, the release of the Doctor Who series 7 Steelbook was announced earlier today, this this amazing artwork:

↳ 7.8 -  The Rings Of Akhaten

“Earth.”

Resurrection of the Daleks - season 21 - 1984

my reasoning is as follows.

see 12, about to board the colony ship in 10x11, before it all goes tits up:

cool outfit. He spends a couple of hours on the top deck of the ship before making it down to Bill who is big dead, and then he gets knocked out and tied up on a rooftop by the Gomez! and Simm!Masters, and then he wakes up, and then he gets knocked out again, and then they go to the solar farm. It’s probs safe to assume that this whole ordeal takes the best part of a day from his frame of reference.

He almost regenerates and then recovers, Bill gets housed in a barn, he goes to see her. Probably another day gone?

They all prepare for the big cyber army. That must take a full day because a lot happens in that time. Here he is in 10x12 trying to convince the two Masters to stand with him:

same outfit. No access to the TARDIS which is at the top of the ship, so no way to change his clothes, so he’s been wearing these for a solid two days at least. Fair to say?

Then the big cyber army comes, then he gets #rekt and Bill takes him back to the TARDIS, knocked out again, then she leaves, then he comes to and ends up meeting 1 for the Christmas special. That has to take another day.

The special happens - another day - and he ends up back in the TARDIS, where he immediately regenerates before changing his clothes:

Enter 13:

At this point there is no reason to believe that these exact clothes have been worn for any less than four days.

She falls to Earth, some stuff happens, she takes a nap, she figures it out, then they go and defeat the Stenza dude and Grace dies. These events take about a day.

Cut to Grace’s funeral. Even if this happens ASAP, there’s no way it takes less than two days between her death and her funeral. Outside the church, here she is:

Looking feral as fuck in clothes that haven’t been changed for at least a week. But that’s okay, because they go shopping! Here she is at the end of 11x01 in her new clothes:

and because she is the magic 3 (eco friendly, shit poor and hella gay) the eagle-eyed amongst you will notice that she is in a charity shop.

Charity shops sell donated, used clothes. You know what they don’t sell?

Underwear.

Nobody wants to wear used pants! So they don’t sell them! So she has not bought any.

Now, as an aside, I’ll invite you, if you will, to contemplate 12′s underwear. There are three options to consider:

(1) 12 does not wear pants

(2) 12 does wear pants, but at some point while wearing the same clothes for 4 days he decides to remove them, and he is not wearing pants when he regenerates

(3) 12 does wear pants, he has too much on his mind to remove them while wearing the same clothes for 4 days, and he is still wearing them when he regenerates

So either:

(½) 13 is not wearing pants at any point during 11x01, including when she gets her new clothes because she can’t buy any

(3) 13 is wearing 12′s old pants up until she gets her new clothes in the charity shop.

The first option speaks for itself. Contemplating the second option: an old man wears some pants for 4 days. You then wear the same pants for 3 days. At the first opportunity to change your clothes, there are no clean pants on offer. Do you wear the week old pants that an old man wore before you under your new, clean clothes, or do you just not wear any pants?

I think you already know the answer.

At this point in 11x01 13 is going commando under her comfy new culottes.

But wait, there’s more!

Immediately after this, they go to try and get the TARDIS back and end up floating in space. They get rescued and we have the events of 11x02 which take, I think, 2 days? Here is 13 at the end of the episode, standing back in her TARDIS:

in the exact. same. clothes. she leaves the Sheffield charity shop wearing. She’s had no time, no TARDIS, and no wardrobe changes, so we can say with some certainty that bitch still has no pants on.

Then she tries to get everyone home and fails, ending up in Alabama at the start of 11x03:

when the TARDIS has obviously taken some inspo from her new wardrobe and made her some matching t-shirts. She’s taken some time out from unsuccesfully piloting a spaceship to change her clothes and, presumably, put on some pants for the first fucking time.
