Every version of the Doctor - 235 - 236
Stephen Fry and Julian Wadham as the Minister of Chance.
A Time Lord of Gallifrey who was acquainted with the Doctor, the Minister appeared in the webcast "Death Comes to Time." The original intention was that, after the Doctor's death, he would take up his mantle. In this vein, the EDA "The Tomorrow Windows" showed him as one of the Doctor's possible next forms, and he was specified to be one of the Four Elementals who survived the War in Heaven.
Going against this, though, is that his TARDIS was revoked at the end of "Death Comes to Time," and when he returned in a new regeneration in The Minister of Chance audio series, he was travelling the backwaters of the universe using a magical formula to create doors.

Just saw the announcement from a few weeks ago, it looks like Arcbeatle Press (of Cwej: The Series fame) is releasing a Minister of Chance novel, written by its creator Dan Freeman!
The Minister of Chance is based around the character of the same name that Freeman first created for the Doctor Who webcast Death Comes to Time in 2001. The Minister of Chance got its own award-winning audio drama in 2011-14, stripped of direct Doctor Who elements but featuring Paul McGann, Sylvester McCoy, and Paul Darrow in major roles. Its a little unique in being a lot closer to high fantasy than the DWEU's usual science fiction bent.
More info about the book is at the links below!
It sounds like this will be a sequel to the audio series, but it could also be a novelization (the details are a little vague). It'll be out at the end of June!

The monarchy jokes are funny, but idk what y'all actually expect to happen when the King dies. We just get another one. They don't actually have any real political power, they're just overpaid shitass mascots. Y'all gotta direct some of this energy at Rishi Sunak
#our asshole prime minister who we didn't even vote for#Boris quit then passed it to Liz who then quit and passed it to Rishi. literally not even the second choice. THIRD.#not that I voted for Boris or even got a chance to vote because I was too young

and then they DID! rule the universe together benevolently! on the Needle! in a weird little polycule with the Minister of Chance and Some Woman Of Unclear Identity. (Literally all the known options make it Weird. Larna? Younger generation than the other three, was the Doctor's student/mentee. Romana? Master's cousin. Iris Wildthyme? Don't get me started.)
they did indeed, anon, they did indeed <3
#i guess i do kinda picture her as larna just cause the infinity doctors has such a hold over me lol but iirc parkin himself doesn't even#mention her as a possibility in ahistory so like ??#also i know zilch abt the minister of chance... the tbr pile never ends w doctor who...#doctor x master#dw

#and also vote groenlinks/pvda. i know there's even greener parties out there but they're all on the fringe#and our no. 1 priority is to make sure the vvd doesn't become coalition again and delivers the prime minister#if we want change we need to vote tactically and these elections are ABSOLUTELY VITAL in having a chance at turning the system around#dutch politics#netherlands#climate change#climate crisis

"now I get to kill two birds with one stone."
"finding out just how strong a god is will be very useful for me, and knowing you won't be bothering my neighbors in the future is great too!"
"Well now, I need to go wash this icky stuff off before seeing my neighbors again.~"

sometimes I think about the fact that synox is the only person who calls blue by his given name and have unnameable emotions about it. big 'the only people who call me that are synox and my mother' vibes for me personally tbh
#campaign star wars#commander synox#minister blue#his computer system also calls him adnau but other than that everyone calls him blue or are firmly on last name basis#I feel like it's heavily implied in his little breakdown speech in the finale that blue is a nickname he's given *himself*#as a sort of 'the cooler me!' gambit#'Could show up someone; could be Blue; I wouldn't be... the guy being laughed at'#(chances that blue was relentlessly bullied in fancy boarding school nightmare scenario: very nearly 100% lol)#well okay listen. if zero calls him blue consistently that's what his name is now. it's as simple as that#synox. I love you. I think of you. you might be irredeemable but I don't care you're the funniest bitch in this room#zero does not seem to like synox very much at any point but I think blue does in his weird horrible little way#I just. think about that. rare aava and blue handshake moment

I think they should try to real quick get Scotland independence and reunify Ireland while there isn’t a government over there. I do not understand how politics work but it’s worth a shot I think, maybe they can rename England “East Wales” while they’re at it

true love is holding back from hurting people that you and your boyfriend both hate so he doesn’t have to do paperwork afterwards
#‘what the fuck are u talking abou—‘ THE ZU.KKA IN MY HEAD BOY#they hate the council so much the ministers are always on zuko’s ass and they’re assholes to sokka and treat him like he’s less#and the only reason that they (mostly sokka) don’t snap is because zuko would have to do paperwork…and send their families letters….gross#my personal headcanon for them and their weird little family is that…they would all kill if they had the chance but some of them go for it#sokka’s like ‘i wish i could hit them so bad when they say stupid shit’ and zukos like ‘mmmrmmrmr but the paperwork…’#(which is good the paperwork holds zuko back from a lot of things)#meanwhile izumi bit the ministers when she was a kid and wishes she could beat up the council (she beats up other people but the paperwork.)#and druk has killed so many people once he got big enough to eat a whole person#and that was an interesting week for zuko where the pros was that the worst of the council got eaten vs the cons that were just….#the paperwork.#if the divorce au was about…an actual divorce i think that they just wouldn’t get divorced formally#cause imagine the paperwork#anyway sorry for rambling about my headcanons and zukka’s little murderous kids do u think i’m cute ?#vee keep talking

Boris Johnson has resigned. Finally a glimmer of hope. I hope he trips on his way out of Downing Street and hits every doorframe and stubs his toe on the furniture and burns his mouth on a cup of tea that wasn’t even good.

Ppl understandably focus on ch4&5 Ouma (with occasional theorizing/headcanon-ing towards ch6) and then there’s me. Sitting here. Fixated on Ouma in ch2
#there’s just so much that happens in ch2#1) Ouma decides to go after the mm#2) Hoshi directly calls Ouma out#3) Ouma uses his supernatural ability to get on ppls nerves to try and lighten the mood#4) his ‘mom’ jokes backfire so spectacularly I’m sometimes surprised Kirumi didn’t try to decapitate him#4.5) Kirumi tried to use Ouma as an alibi#5) KIRUMI AND OUMA MAKING EVIL FACES OF HATRED AT EACH OTHER#while everyone else debates the morality of being sacrificed#(and not the logistics of Kirumi being prime minister)#6) ouma’s video. him getting it. the contents of it#him being willing to share that video and ruin his ‘being evil’ plan on the CHANCE it might prevent a murder#him kidnapping people into this plan when everyone naturally goes ‘why would we share motives? to comfort each other? lol’#everyone talks about how Ouma painted himself into a corner#but ch2 is where that plan SOLIDIFIED#that’s when he made his CHOICE#(YELLS INTO A MUFFLED PILLOW)#i think about this game too much
