my commissions, macro, pride, flannel 

A flannel giant commission from @minidragonart@birdsite, along with a more prideful version! While this wasn't ready in time for Pride month, (nearest city) Pride is literally today, so the timing worked out in the end!

Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 4], question about possible transphobia 

So there's a section in this story where the doctor dresses up as an old woman to get passed some guards. Should I make a note of this in my reccomendation, or should I just ignore it?

footnote: while not intended to be an educational story, one of the 5th doctor stories was set in the past and contained no sci-fi element.

And now: The Highlanders, which is also completely missing.

Fun Trivia: The Highlanders is the last* of the "historical" stories – the show was originally conceived as having a mixture of historical stories (to teach kids history) and sci fi stories. But the historical stories were hated by the production team, and rarely were as engaging as the sci-fi stories, so they were abandoned - all subsequent stories set in the past also contained a sci-fi element.

I'm noticing that, in general, the stories that are completely missing are usually not worth watching at all

Classic Doctor Who :: [Season 4] 

nearly 2 weeks after starting, I finally got through The Power of the Daleks.

It's not a bad story, but it's just.... hard to watch something that's missing so much footage.

In my guide I gave it a maybe: averylychee.neocities.org/doct

because (while I haven't watched all of it) the animated version would be a really good watch

I really wish the footage for Power of the Daleks still existed... the reconstruction is really hard to watch.

I was planning on watching the animated version of this story afterwards, but I think I'm going to be too drained to watch this same story over again, so maybe I'll try watching it after a long break.

money 

I'm thinking of starting a patreon, where every $5 you donate means I spend an hour working on making a program that you want to exist.

fallout, miscommunication 

I just remembered a scene from the beginning of fallout 3, where your best friend asks you how you slept.

One of the responses is "I dreamt about you", which I took in a friendly way, but apparently the developers were intending it to be something creepy, because if you say that she's like "what?? Eww, you creep!"

me: I'm not going to turn this into a todo list
me, 2 seconds later: *accidentally turns it into a todo list*

This is a far cuter project/life organiser layout than I was using before - the pastel colours, the spaces (so it's not just one big table), the little icons.

I literally just based this design off of the one on the treesheets homepage: strlen.com/treesheets/

I still haven't used that notebook.... I have no idea what to put in it
