“When we were kids, the Phonics Wizard came to our town to show off how the letter E can change the sounds of vowels. He turned a can into a cane, a pin into a pine. This one kid had a cap and he changed it into a cape, that kind of thing.
“And we loved it, we were all having a great time, but then he saw my sister and I, and he just got this - this look in his eyes, and then-”
She hesitated, worrying the coarse material between her fingers. “Things got pretty bad after that,” she muttered. “I know it’s silly, but I try to keep - her - comfortable. We don’t know if she can still hear us, or see us, or if she’s even still in here, but I like to think she is. I talk to her when I can, I leave music on when I’m out of the house. I tried to convince my parents to bring her with us when we went to Disneyland, but they didn’t - didn’t really take that well.”
After a moment, she put the ball of twine back onto its pillow. “Anyways. They tried to arrest the Phonics Wizard, but he had a plan in case something went wrong and he turned it into a plane and flew away.”
What would you plan if you were going to meet a beloved mutual (in your town) irl?
Rating All The Dalek Stories By How Much The Titles Have To Do With The Actual Content
"The Daleks" 10/10 Yep that's them.
"The Dalek Invasion of Earth" 8/10 Just a little marked down because the story isn't about the Invasion per se. That already happened. "The Dalek Occupation of Earth" would be more precise.
"The Chase" 9/10 It is about that but that is also a game show.
"The Daleks' Master Plan" 7/10 They're doing a bunch of stuff in this. The title implies only one plan. Need more clarification.
"Power of the Daleks" 10/10 great double meaning
"The Evil of the Daleks" 7/10 not wrong but also any Dalek story could be called this.
"Day of the Daleks" 5/10 There are at least two different days in play in this story.
"Planet of the Daleks" 3/10 That would be Skaro actually, whereas this takes place on Spiridon
"Death to the Daleks" 6/10 I like the imperative voice here but the story fails to deliver on this intention.
"Genesis of the Daleks" 10/10 That is exactly what happens.
"Destiny of the Daleks" 2/10 bears very little relation to anything going on here. Fundamentally a backward-looking story, and these sleepy ramshackle Daleks don't seem destined for much of anything, frankly.
"Resurrection of the Daleks" 2/10 Really misses the mark. There is a resurrection in this story but it's pretty unambiguously not of the Daleks. "Resurrection of Davros" would be a more accurate title. Or even better "The Resurrection of Davros by the Coward Eric Saward"
"Revelation of the Daleks" 2/10 Once again the verb in the title is fulfilled by Davros, not the Daleks! Sure hope someone got fired for that blunder!
"Remembrance of the Daleks" 4/10 Not much better I'm afraid. It is a nostalgic story so Remembrance is at least vaguely relevant, but it's not really the Daleks either being remembered or doing the remembering.
"Dalek" 10/10. Clean, simple, right on the money. That's a Dalek alright.
"Bad Wolf". 3/10 And we whiff it again. While the phrase "Bad Wolf" is indeed central to the cliffhanger reveal, it's not related to the Daleks, or to anything at all. It's a self-fulfilling tautology. The actual words are irrelevant. Could have been anything.
"The Parting of the Ways" 9/10 now this is more like it. Not only are there multiple partings of ways between multiple characters, every atom in every Dalek parts ways from every other! That's so much parting!
"Doomsday" 6/10 Again points off for vagueness. This could be about anything.
"Daleks in Manhattan" 10/10 There they are!
"Evolution of the Daleks" 8/10 doesn't succeed but that is what they're going for
"The Stolen Earth" 9/10 Yep that happens!
"Journey's End" 4/10 Come on. Literally the only person whose "Journey" Ends is Donna and that of course gets reversed. Vague and inaccurate.
"Victory of the Daleks" 5/10 sure they achieve their stayed goal in this one episode but thats pretty well undermined by the fact that nobody likes these Daleks and they get retconned out of existence within a couple years
"Asylum of the Daleks" 9/10 Straightforward. Only knocking a point off because there doesn't seem to be much mental health care going on here
"Into the Dalek" 10/10 that is what happens!
The Magician's Apprentice 4/10 We're stretching here. Name based on a one-time gag and not related to the Daleks anyway
The Witch's Familiar 6/10 this one is set up better but still isn't about Daleks
"Resolution" 7/10 A New Year's Resolution is made! But it's something the Doctor would have done anyway
"Revolution of the Daleks" 0/10 This is complete nonsense. The Daleks are cops and then the other Daleks come in to be cops to the cop Daleks. Nothing is revolutionary about this. Nothing
"Eve of the Daleks" 9/10 Yeah this one works. It's New Year's Eve and there's Daleks.
Holy shit the last Dalek story is from 2022?
PUSHING BACK ON SOME OF THESE:
Evil of the Daleks: title clearly a reference to the Dalek Factor which is, indeed, the distilled 'evil' of the Daleks. Deserves to be bumped up.
Remembrance of the Daleks: I believe this one is actually using a more archaic sense of the word 'remembrance':
Something which serves to remember; a memento, a memorial, a souvenir, a token; a memorandum or note of something to be remembered.
The 'remembrance' in the story is I think the Hand of Omega. However, given that the Hand of Omega was made by the Time Lords it isn't really the Daleks' 'remembrance' so this does not affect your rating.
they should have made another search engine called Ask Wooster where it gives you the wrong answer every time

Okay so I’m an elementary school art teacher right, and I have this really fun game I made a PowerPoint for to teach like, emotions and intent and looking at the whole picture to first grade.
The idea is, when we count down and change slides, kids have to mimic one thing in the painting as best they can, whether it’s animate or inanimate. If there’s nothing in the shot for them to mimic (because I threw some contemporary abstract stuff in), they have to show me how the painting makes them feel. Easy enough, gets them excited to move around and vocal about their feelings regarding art, it’s very chaotic. I can tell pretty fast who’s got the emotional maturity to mimic things in a complex way, and who’s just enough of an abstract thinker to mimic inanimate objects early on in the game...
So the first picture is this:
Napoleon Crossing the Alps. My favorite reactions are usually the kids who pretend to be the freaked-out horse, but 2 memorable occasions were the one where a student immediately scrunched up to be the rock in the foreground, and the one where a pair of girls, without any communication on their parts, decided to be Napoleon riding the horse with one as Napoleon and one as the horse. Basically one of them fully tackled the other apropos of nothing, it was hilarious
I’ll add more if y’all want or if I feel like it lol I have a bunch of stories from this one game
Okay so later in the lineup we get to Dalí’s Persistence of Memory, which is very funny because it’s preceded by several pieces that have like, obvious people in them, so everyone’s gotten a bit complacent in their mimicry
In case you’ve forgotten, this is Persistence:
And I swear every time, there’s a beat right before everyone either becomes a tree by t-posing for their life, or goes boneless like some kind of child-shaped pancake over the nearest flat surface
Highlights from this one include a pair who decided to drape themselves pancake-style over the same desk and banged heads, resulting in 2 ground pancakes, and someone who fully just stood there staring, and explained that they were expressing the hatred they felt as soon as they saw it
Last installment: one of the pictures is The Scream, and everyone very quickly just makes a 😱 face, but then we get to talk about my favorite “throw spaghetti at the wall” topic, why is he screaming? (The answer is Existential Dread, but it’s not appropriate to tell 1st graders that so instead we all put out other ideas lol)
In case you haven’t looked at it recently, this is The Scream:
My favorite guesses from the kids to Why Is He Screaming:
-those guys behind him are going to arrest him
-he missed his boat and it’s one of the ones in the background, he just noticed
-the sky’s all wiggly
-he just wanted to scream
-HE CAN SEE THE CLASS OF FIRST GRADERS LOOKING AT HIM AND HE DOESN’T LIKE IT
Children are bonkers
thirteen: i lie out of a deep seated need to create distance between me and my companions, in order to ensure that i dont lose them in a tragic, unavoidable scenario of my own making
seven: i lie in order to manipulate those around me in order to keep everything entirely under my own control, so that the most possible people can survive any given scenario
one: i lie because its funny. hoo hee hoo
when i was at walgreens (at 3 in the morning which explains all of this) the cashier was talking to her coworker about how shed rather be a werewolf than a vampire because vampires are condemned to hell but werewolves arent and then she asked me what i thought and i said vampire because im already condemned to hell and she said in the nicest tone of voice “i dont think anybody is condemned to hell….” paused, stared at me for a few moments, and added on “…not even gay people”
Happy pride month to the filthiest most brutal read I’ve ever been given in my life
