So apparently our lady KGill is going to be doing a twitter Q&A thing tomorrow. We are all very excited about it, hopefully it’ll be adorable and funny and everything Karen is.
However here’s a few things we need to remind you in order to avoid drama and making Karen feel uncomfortable.
ANY question related to Matt and her and in a romantic way should be COMPLETELY AVOIDED. Please refrain from mentioning ‘secretly married’ or ‘smillan’ or anything else that indicates her and Matt are linked romantically. That would only put her in an awkward position even if she doesn’t answer and if she does answer it’ll reflect very badly upon us as a fandom just because some dumbo decided to ask inappropriate things. So please please PLEASE choose your words carefully regarding Matt. Apart from that, ask whatever you like and we can’t wait to read her answers!
Is it weird that the first thing I get excited about when a new Karen or Matt movie is about to come out is that there’ll be more manips for me to make?
"Smith has – with his tongue, perhaps, a little in his cheek – described Gillan as “a remarkable specimen”, and the sexiest Doctor Who assistant ever. Certainly, dads countrywide will be far from displeased by the sight of her dressed as a kissogram. Can the Doctor stop himself from falling for her, despite those legs? “Despite those legs, the gangly Karen legs? She’s going to love me for that,” Smith says. Then he offers the answer he has given so many times to these kind of journalistic inquiries, the one that from tonight will finally start to be replaced by real answers on screen. “You’ll have to wait and see."
SO vis-à-vis our previous post — twitter has confirmed that Matt and Karen are in fact both in NYC right now and were at the same party last night!! We’ll keep you updated if we find out more but KAREN AND THE BABES ARE ALL IN THE SAME CITY, GUYS. FINALLY. EVERYONE SCREAM. [but don’t spam-tweet karen or arthur about it. obvs. y’all know this.]

Literally knowing every story about the other before they even begin to say it.

Taking secret trips to New York at Christmas and going to hipster bars and the bartender saying how ‘into each other’ they looked.

SO SERIOUSLY. SCREENPLAY WRITERS OUT THERE. YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO DO MUCH, JUST CHANGE THE NAMES AND CAST A REALLY AWESOME PERSON TO PLAY ARTHUR AND THE ROM COM WRITES ITSELF.
There’s a special on right now (EST) about the Doctor’s companions which I’m told includes interviews with Karen in an ugly jumper and possible mentions of Matt.
“Well, that hair, those limbs, that surprising brain. it’s like she’s from another planet. She’s a true eccentric. Karen provides my funniest moments on a daily basis. Seeing her run. Seeing her move. Seeing those limbs extend. When she opens her mouth, it tends to be funny – unwittingly, but funny. But underneath her mad exterior, she’s sharp. She’s just perfectly Amy Pond. People love her. She’s hilarious.” - Matt Smith
