Peter Dutton is currently under investigation from the solicitor general, because his wife gets money from a government run childcare service, and it's suspected he was involved in some kind of fraud thing.

Peter Dutton is currently leading the opposition to Turnbull.

So in the next 24 hours: our prime minister could be forced to resign, followed by the person who was forcing him to resign in the first place

So Australian Politics is messed up at the moment - the current prime minister, Malculm Turnbull, just had to cancel a meeting of parliment because a whole bunch of his party members resigned in the middle of it.

Tomorrow there will be a meeting, to see whether Turnbull will remain Prime Minister. It doesn't seem likely, given that he has very little support from his party

If he loses his position, then either Peter Dutton or Scott Morrison will replace him... EXCEPT

I used to have a remote control dalek, and then I gave it away to someone

gyorming~

goooooooodnight

wait hold on, I just remembered that there were 2 spheres:

the one that the great intelligence lost in step 4, and one that Jamie stole (unintentinally) at some point.

But the one that was stolen was left in the monastery, why not just get the monk who follows orders to bring it back too?

4. Intentionally send a yeti towards the monestary for no reason, causing you to lose one of the required items.
5. Send more yetis later to get it back
6. THEN send the person at the monestary with the final item.

What???

This.… doesn't make sense?

The yeti are being controlled by The Great Intelligence, which has this really complicated plan:

1. Have the 5 items required to complete the plan.
2. Give one of them to the monestary for safekeeping
3. Set everything else up over centuries, until finally ready for the item from the monestary.

ok, makes sense so far? And they have someone at the monestary who is following their commands, so it should be easy

wait, hang on.... I didn't go to sleep, why am I saying good morning

I'm so confused

good morning~

One thing I worry about with my guide is that my ratings are different to other people's.

Doctor Who fans generally want me to put more things into the "watch" category, whereas people who haven't experienced much Doctor Who generally want me to put less...

(Although, there has been one instance where I put a story into "watch" originally, because of nostalgia, but a fan was like "uhh.... no? That's one of the worst stories" and they were right)

I am not enjoying The Abominable Snowmen very much, tbh

heck, I just looked at this timeline:

Aside from the revived series doctors, only the 4th doctor has a gap that you could theoretically use to put your own companions in

anyway I want to write fanfiction with The Doctor and my own companions, but there's no way for that to fit into cannon

For the Second Doctor:
* Ben and Polly are companions from before
* Then, Jamie is introduced
* Then, Ben and Polly leave
* Then Victoria joins
* Then Victoria leaves
* Then Zoe joins

There's no space there for the Doctor to have a writer's own companions, because Jamie is always there!

The only time the 2nd doctor doesn't have Jamie as a companion is in the one story when Ben and Polly are the only companions

The official novels/audio plays/comics often introduce their own characters, who go on adventures with the Doctor in these in-between times. It means the authors can write their own unique companions and have their own adventures. Fanfiction does this too, of course.

But in the classic series, the companions are always continuous

I'd love to write fanfiction for classic doctor who.... except, I'd have to use the same companions.

For modern Doctors, there are periods of time where they are offscreen and have no companions (for example, after Rose slips into an alternate universe, the Tenth Doctor travels alone for an unspecified amount of time before finally meeting Martha).

better idea: less generic, but more specific. Instead of

"This story contains an actor in yellowface", I can write
"This story contains a white actor in makeup to make them appear Asian"
