I know people talk about Doomsday (I'm people) but what about the absolute joy from this piece of music followed by the utter DEVASTATION that is the ending and the Doctor ending up alone. Again?

Me, as an Australian, looking at the clusterfuck voting map yesterday:

here's what we know so far

[paterday]

My favourite crow fun fact is there’s thousands of them that just fucking hate various presidents because researchers will wear masks of presidents to catch them and I think that’s so funny

[berio-visage-asmr]

איך וויל אז ישראל האט שלום מיט פּאלעסטײַן און איך טקאכט אז זענען דאָ א סך אנטיסעמיטיזם אין לינקישע טומבלר. מיין דאַש איז יעצט צו פיל אויף "האמאס איז א פוטער ארגאניזאציע און איך וועל טראכט נישט א סך וועגן דעם" פאָסטן.

My favourite thing while writing the Marine Centre fic is they fact its Based in Australia. Not a lot of fics are based over here, so I take the opportunity every time. Plus, it's fun for me to think about people in other countries willingly coming over here to work.

Holding my hand over my heart In honour of Priminister Harold Holt. He'd be cheering MC on from the depths of the sea. Bet he disappeared chasing Oceanide pussy. That's a Priminister I can appreciate. For those who don't know who Harold Holt is enjoy his wiki page.

But all I can think is MC gets carted off by the Pods and ends up in a somewhat underwater city and this mother fucker is just living it up after finding the fountain of youth. " They got you too huh?"

"'Yea accidentally adopted one of their pups and it imprinted on me. Now I have a harem you?"

" buff Mermaid woman"

" we named a swimming pool after you"

In December 1967, Holt disappeared while swimming in rough conditions at Cheviot Beach, Victoria. He was presumed dead, although his body was never recovered; his disappearance spawned a number of conspiracy theories. Holt was the third Australian prime minister to die in office. He was succeeded by Country Party leader John McEwen on an interim basis and then by John Gorton. His death was commemorated in a number of ways, among them by the establishment of the Harold Holt Memorial Swimming Centre in Melbourne.

[im-tempted]

Literally why?

How???

Why???

fun fact about me i can name all the us presidents from memory

[cloudninetonine]

What if I oh so sweetly appeared at your door with my sad, wet cat eyes? Would you let me in? Or would you punt me directly into the sun.

What have you done? Killed the Priminister?

Also I'd let you in just don't stain the carpet <3

[pageofheartdj]

who is the current president/regent/priminister of the boiling isles? Is it the collector since I think it would be very funny to see the collector at a serious international security meeting at the UN blowing bubbles and playing minecraft while everyone else is panicking since the entirety of the universe of Kansas has ceased to exist

PFFF I doubt it would be them but I WANT IT TO BE THEM XDD

Thinking of Collector with this serious duty all I see is:

Cheers for the tag @ginevralinton 💖💖

53!!

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

149,034

3. What fandoms do you write for?

BBC Ghosts predominantly, but have done some Dracula & the ‘Rick & Ade’ verse stuff :)

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

1. Space invader!

2. Interesting 😅

3. Whose line is it anyway?

4. Mind if I join you?

5. Child of the moon, rub your rainy eyes

5. Do you respond to comments?

Of course! Perhaps my replies aren’t always the most creative but I treasure any comments & always make an effort to reply <3

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Probably my Dracula/ Ghosts AU… Chapter 9… :,)

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Pretty much most of my fics haha… if I had to pick probably either ‘Operation Bubbles’ or ‘Gentle Pornography’ <3

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Luckily no! I’ve found this fandom incredibly supportive :)

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Occasionally… becoming more frequently… honestly I’m not sure what ‘kind’ - nothing overtly kinky or thematic as opposed to ‘if I want smut in the plot, it’s going in’ haha

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Probably again my 10 chapter Dracula AU with all the ghosts! I also wrote the new statesman crossover with Julian too - ‘Proposition’ and ‘A pit stop before the moon’ which included some OCs. Also ‘Yes, Priminister’ which was a UK politics AU :)

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not stolen per-say but have had *ahem* one occasion the same ship, similar plot and identical title 🧐

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, but would love to!

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

Robin/Julian 💖💖

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Honestly I’ve never completely abandoned a fic - some get left in the drafts for a while but I never have the heart to completely abandon them!

16. What are your writing strengths?

Like to think I’m good at dialogue and voices, or at least, that’s the element I seem to get complimented the most on <3

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I am quite slow at writing - I’ll have an idea that never really goes anywhere and I’ll sit with a random paragraph for weeks haha. I also think my plots move too quickly sometimes and become overwhelming or jejune.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

GCSE French probably doesn’t grant me the ability do (or, indeed, any) foreign languages justice - I have tried on occasion to incorporate it but not sans translation & grammar programmes!

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Properly? Probably Good Omens. But I did do a couple of Young Ones fics wayyy back that I wouldn’t like to find 😅

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

I’d have to say ‘You’re Super, Moon’ because I kinda dig the narrative style. Also ‘Sparks’ for *reasons*, ‘is that a bullet!?’ because of the sheer lunacy of the plot and ‘To be (a thing) or not to be’ because the script format was a blast to write 😁

Tagging @the-boosh-is-loose @joestarling @jovienna @spineless-lobster :)

I guess I just want to make it clear that while I’m so grateful to have gay marriage in Australia I just want straight people to know that’s not the end of things.

We still have people protesting us.

Heck our old priminister tried to pass a religious freedom act DURING OUR MASSIVE BUSHFIRES that would allow companies to legally fire and or not employ people who were gay. We still live in a country that has a lot people against us. Marriage was a wonderful step. But it’s not the end of the line.

[pogaytosalad]

I do not like being mediocre but when I try to practice anything the voice in my head bullies me until I want to walk into the ocean and disappear like that one Australian priminister

[septimaseverina]

Right from yesterday morning (UTC+07.00) until nightfall, I was tired and exhausted with everything in my life and that big circumstance of the world (you know). And today, I had to go out, it's good distraction, anyhow I still feel like WTF is going on right now: my most beloved bff has been degraded by her older sister for 20 years+ and then she lose faith in herself (f*ck that bitch), all my friends who observe that big event of the world are dispirit, and I've been fookin sick of fookin judges of constitutional court - like seriously, you throw the ex-priminister out when he MUST sign the 2025's budget? Don't even care and consider about multi-systems which rely on the budget? Many patients must deal with the lacking of medicines! So do my mum and I! Real shit.

Going out today don't quite help much. I had planned to make Robert Aramayo in the occasion of his birthday, but ughhhhhhhhhhhhh, this week is bloody suck. So let me just lay down and escaping from real mad world at least one day, let me cuddle my cat and get 10 hours sleep.

Question time

Sitting in on question time is always a pleasure, and the first question time of a session was especially interesting. 

In the Commons, there were oral answers on three of the five days with a myriad of topics covered. The answers given are often either direct or evasive and the topics tend to stay on point, there's also less sniping at least at the beginning of this parliament because there's less of a history between the two sides of the house, with so many new members and so many missing responsible former members being able to deliver scathing soundbites is somewhat limited.

Wednesday had the usual set of Priminister's questions which I was glad to see started off in a largely positive manner, until we got to the week's major news, that of the 2 child-cap benefit cap, that is something that deserves its own post and I've yet to read the full details of that debate.

Meanwhile in the Lords, as is often the case, topics raised in the outline lead to a line of questions in directions that are somewhat obscured from the headline topic

So the highlights from the Lords were

Dentistry and Amalgam use -> EU alignment and regulations

Royal Mail Trains -> HS2 discussions

Government Standards -> Party Politics and PR vs Time governing

Cloudstrike Update Error -> Cyber Attacks

I find the lords question and answer sessions some what easier to follow than the commons clearly more practice is needed
