Do you think that if neil and kevins moms ever met before they died they just had immediate british v irish beef? Like they're in their twenties at the same mafia wedding sitting next to each other and spend all night coming up with more increasingly complicated ways to insult each other. Neil and kevins relationship could be genetic
The thought that Mary thought Kayleigh Day was a pretentious bitch and her son was obsessed with her son must have eaten her up inside. The moments after Neil meets Kevin and has to deal with him I am 100% sure that in this scenario Neil would just be thinking "Oh god mom was right. They're beautiful but JFC at what cost."
Anytime the two get into a spat the Foxes worry that 'international relations might boil over'
#WORRRMMMMMMMMMMMM I MISSED YOUUUUUU#Kevin Day#Neil Josten#AFTG#Mary Hatford#Kayleigh Day#Palmetto State Foxes

Recent Austen adaptations yelling
Ok I DID make this blog to review historical-set Pride & Prejudice adaptations (with an exception made for iconic B&P). But for everyone who was DEFINITELY WONDERING, yes I have also been storing away a lot of opinions about other recent Austen adaptations that I Must Tell Someone.
.
Fire island (2022)
A modern gay party cheesy rom-com P&P that genuinely made me laugh. Having seen some other (whiter) cheesy gay romcoms that were extreeeemely PG & playing it safe, I was pleasantly surprised.
Also Bowen Yang and his story just came across really earnest in a way I was into - would watch this man cry again, 10/10.
Personally as an extremely disabled british nerd (now tragically unable to travel and/or go to the club...) this gay scene is a long way from my queer scene. But I still had emotions, you know?
Kinda wanted more of the Mary analogue and generally just normal looking people (almost everyone is so ripped) but I appreciate that's how beautiful smooth people often look in mainstream american films, we can't have everything.
DARCY WATCH: I do not want to dress like this adaptation's chinos Mr Darcy. But Conrad Ricamora was generally great and very hot and awkward and understood the assignment. Good ice cream throw.
.
Emma (2020)
I know I know, it's pretty... but I don't think that's enough!!!!!
Lovely production, beautiful costumes, a candy wes-anderson cinematography that really suits the story, and it's fun to notice references to actual outfits and prints from the time but lads. LADS. UNPOPULAR OPINION TIME: Where is the chemistry???
You can’t make Mr Knightley a nice sweet boy (so funny to have cast a posh folksy singing man) and leave the plot the same and expect it to work!! Also I was personally pissed off that a lot of the promo/ ads for this made it look like ~forbidden love~ when it's the 2 richest white people in town getting together?? ? There's actually not even a class difference in this one, guys.
Basically this romance was nothing to me!!! I felt nothing!!!!!!!! WHERE'S THE DEPTH
I did like the bit where he lies down though. Relatable.
Also why are you drawing so much attention to the servants when you don’t seem to have anything to say about class...? 'Wow look how many servants they had! Anyway, they don't get any speaking lines'... it's 2020 guys!!! like what are we saying here. 'isn't it cool to think about how people were rich'??
kind of the point of Emma (character) is she's pretty superficial, but the story does not, in fact, have to be
.
Persuasion (2022)
Weeping softly into a pillow........ did you know this version meant a version with Sarah Snook and Joel Fry got cancelled?? we could have had it all
(standing on a table yelling) THE MODERNISATION WAS NOT THE PROBLEM WITH THIS FILM!!!
Honestly I actively liked all the entire secondary cast in this. Louisa and Mary were extremely charming fun takes to watch. ('I'm an empath' IS right for the character if you're doing modern jokes!!!) And nobody can deny this was a correct and powerful use of Richard E Grant.
Henry Golding was naturally great. Apparently he got offered the lead and took the villain instead, which DOES mean the villain is super charming and fun to watch which is... hard to match and.... kind of shows up.... the main man.
It's been said before but the main two were WOEFUL imo. I have no beef with the actors I just question the DIRECTION and whether anyone making this knew (or cared) why people... enjoy things.
Book Anne is the quietest gentlest loser and I LOVE HER and so does basically every Austen nerd. Making her a quirky wine-bath girl who's honestly just cruel sometimes fully stops the main romance chemistry and plot from working.
And it means the main boy is still like 'god I'm so horny for how KIND AND CAPABLE YOU ARE' which is just 100% no longer true. You can't transplant a personality in a romance but leave the plot the exact same and expect it to work. The chemistry IS the plot in a romance..........
you can't act morally superior to your siblings and still rate people out of ten.... also so funny to me that everyone else gets period outfits and hair whereas this protagonist looks like she just glanced at a picture of any time in the past and grabbed a couple shirts from primark. it doen't even look good or build character!!!!!
Anyway, not to be an elderly man like 'ohhh why does nobody care about character these days' but the reason something like Clueless works is because it has the heart of the story right, instead of just copying the surface level stuff.
#making all of these a single post which probably means nobody will reblog it ever. OH WELL#emma 2020#persuasion 2022#fire island#austen adaptations#full disclosure yes I was midway through making a queer regency romance GN whose plot is partly based on emma and p&p when i saw 2020 emma#so YES.......... i have strong opinions... possibly UNPOPULAR ONES..........#anyway if you enjoy the things i'm complaining about more power to you. I'M TOO BORING tO ENJOY THEM UNFORTUNATELY

Burmese pythons, though they have to be very large (around 20 feet), are able to eat alligators. For every 100 grams of alligator meat, there are 29 grams of protein and 4 grams of fat, compared to beef that has 10-15 grams of fat for the same amount. The design and concept of the Chinese dragon is believed to be inspired by the Chinese alligator, as alligators are fairly harmless until provoked (it should also be noted that Chinese dragons are peaceful and beneficial until angered). Chinese dragons are also believed to be ancestors to emperors and are the subject of many Chinese idioms, phrases, and proverbs. Eohippus, a small, slouched, brown-and-white-marked donkey-like animal, was the horse’s first ancestor, and it appeared on the North American continent around 60 million years ago. Horses didn’t arrive in Australia until 1788 by the First Fleet, a fleet of British ships that established the first European settlements in Australia. It was also the harbinger of Europoean colonization, which has irrevocably disrupted Aboriginal way of life from economic upheaval to epidemic diseases (but we got horses out of it)! The Latin name for Pallas cats is Otocolubus manul, meaning 'ugly-eared'; this is an incorrect observation because they are the perfect creatures and the body is round and I love them (and the positioning of their ears on the side, rather than the top, of their heads helps to conceal them better so the ears dont stick up over hiding spots. I have no idea why this is considered ugly.). The Latin name of the sand cat is Felis margarita, because they are small enough to fit in a margarita glass (kidding, they're named after a French general. They also aren't small enough to fit inside a margarita glass). Parrots are capable of altruism; a study was conducted where parrots could 'pay' for food with tokens, and some were observed to buy food and give it to parrots who did not have any tokens to buy food with. Chinese water deer can swim several kilometers undeterred, a skill used to swim between islands in search of resources. Cats were domesticated around 10,000 years ago, major proof of this being a cat buried closely with another human in a Cyprus village, immortalized as fossils. Troculus hispidus, or "Hairy Snail", is a snail with small, curved hairs growing on its shell. These hairs wear away with age and leave scars on the shell. They are a very common species, with its habitat labelled as "various" (gee, thanks). The hairs help the snails to adhere to surfaces better, especially in humid conditions, and to confuse predators. A group of ferrets is called a business, because they are very busy office workers and they have highly sensitive matters to attend to, thank you very much, such as dancing about in delight and chittering. Possums have very low body temperatures, making it unlikely that they will contract diseases like rabies which thrive in high-temperature enviornments. Still, they can carry disease that can thrive at lower temperatures, parasites, and bugs like fleas or ticks.
[Animal Fact Anon. All these ones are right. Get better soon.]
Animal fact anon I love you <3

"Canadian history is boring" yeah you're right but also what if you were wrong. Let me tell a tale, friends, about a conspiracy theory that only Canadians over the age of 50 really know or care about. Let me tell a tale, friends, of the Avro Arrow and the tragic death of Canadian aerospace engineering.
The year was 1953. The production company was A.V. Roe Canada. At the time, Canada had only produced one commercial interceptor aircraft: the Avro CF-100 Canuck (lovingly referred to as the Clunk). It was...fine, I guess. It worked. But Canada was in the process of joining NORAD, and it was the geographic shield between the US and USSR: any bombers carrying nukes would cross Canadian airspace. The RCAF needed a bombing interceptor.
Enter the AVRO CF-105 Arrow.
You guys don't understand how awesome the Arrow was. It was SLEEK, it was MODERN, it was the PRIDE of a booming Canadian aerospace industry. It was the prototype fighter jet of its time, able to outcompete with American and British interceptors, and set to break both altitude and speed records. Canada was so proud of its aircraft that when the first prototype was ready, they expected a crowd of 13,000 to watch the first test (too bad Sputnik launched the same day). In 1955, even America wanted in (this was unheard of, since America prioritized its own aerospace above all, and rarely purchased planes it didn't make itself).
So where did the Arrow go?
We got rid of it. Sorry, not just got rid of it. We destroyed everything to do with it.
Now, what a lot of the public didn't understand was that the Arrow was expensive, and while it could have outcompeted the American Convair Delta Dart released in 1959, the plane would have been mid at best and defunct at worst by the time America improved on its own Mach 2 interceptor. What's more, ICBMs were becoming a thing, rendering interceptors in general relatively moot. The general consensus was clear: it wasn't worth the money to produce and improve. That was the excuse Prime Minister Diefenbaker (aka Dief the Chief, the anti-Kennedy, of Diefenbunker fame) used to order the end of the Avro Arrow program. This was understandable, generally.
What wasn't understandable was the death of everything to do with it. After unsuccessful attempts to sell the program to America and Britain, Diefenbaker ordered not only the closure of the program, but the complete scrapping of assembly lines, prototypes, classified documents, schematics: everything was destroyed. Only one Arrow went unaccounted for (some people think an air marshal stole it), but the rest were trashed. Allegedly, not a single intact prototype remains, only pieces and replicas on display.
Why would Diefenbaker do this? The conspiracies are endless. Some think a Soviet mole compromised the program and Diefenbaker ordered the complete destruction to prevent the Soviets from gaining this technology. Some people think the US manipulated intelligence to prevent Canadian aerospace from overtaking American aerospace. Sane people think that Canadian intelligence recognized a Soviet transition away from bomber planes, and acted sensibly, if a bit to the extreme.
What we do know is after the death of the Arrow, the Canadian aerospace industry basically collapsed overnight. About 15,000 engineers were now out of work, and many fled to the US to work for Boeing, Convair, NASA, and basically any other aerospace industry job they could find. Diefenbaker went on to have seriously funny beef with JFK, and the Avro Arrow was lost to the annals of aviation history. Rest in pieces, Avro Arrow.

Rating Alex Rider Villians on a scale of 1-10 on how supportive they'd be of me telling them I'm Agender: SCORPIA addition
[Just so we are clear, the concept for this came from a TikTok-er who does a good amount of Alex Rider content/analysis!)
Julia Rothman: 0/10 She'd call me 'girly-pop' in a heartbeat. Julia Rothman is such a Girl Boss (derogatory), that she'd become transphobic. She'd not believe that I was actually agender and be fully convinced that I'm only saying this because of internalized misogyny or something. She'd be calling me 'young lady', 'girly', 'Ms./Miss', any and all gendered terms because she'd know that it made me uncomfortable and that I hated it. Also, seeing as I'm not a literal underage boy, she probably wouldn't care too much about me in the first place... I don't think that Julia Rothman should be around children in general. She needs some Jesus...
Zeljan Kurst: 4/10 I get the sense that he'd find me pretty annoying as a person, so I'd already be on thin ice as it was. He wouldn't understand what being agender was and he probably would just have me labeled in his head as a girl, but he'd use the correct pronouns and otherwise not make a big fuss out of it. Zeljan Kurst really would just be trying to do whatever he could to not have to deal with me more than he absolutely would have to.
Max Grendel: 10/10 He gives supportive grandpa vibes! He might not always understand or get the pronouns right all the time, but he cares! A bit lost at times, but immaculate allyship!
Major Winston Yu: -1/10 Not only am I an American (i.e. NOT British) and am actively beefing with the concept of England in general, he'd already be having issues with me. Not only that, but he wouldn't understand what was going on and absolutely refuse to learn/get an explanation. He'd be misgendering me left and right in the most oddly polite way ever. Like, bro would look me dead in the eye and say "My dear girl" and then start ranting about his plans and how great England is or whatever.
Brendan Chase: 7/10 It'd start off fine with him being very accepting and supportive, but I could see it getting really weird real quick. He'd probably start asking me some really personal/probing questions about being agender and wouldn't see anything wrong about asking about it. But if/when I told him that it was personal/I wasn't comfortable with the questioning, he'd back off and apologize right away!
Abdul-Aziz Al-Razim: 0/10 He'd want to study the psychological pain of experiencing gender dysphoria and transphobia... He also just gives homophobic/transphobic/misogynistic energy in general. He'd actively hate crime me and observe my response for ~ScIEnCe~ and pleasure.
The Grimaldi Twins (they'd want to be counted as a single person): 6/10 They'd be pretty chill about it, I can't see either of them taking issue with me being agender. They'd be supportive, but they wouldn't care too much. It's pretty much just that. Nothing really to say here. If they killed me mafia style, it'd be because of something I did to fuck up their plans. Not because I'm agender. We stan equal opportunity kings! (Not really though.)
Doctor Three: 11/10 He's a strong ally! Dr. Three understands and respects how gender is fluid/relative/a social construct and he'd be very supportive! He'd also be out there actively fighting transphobia in the medical community through normal personal measures, but also through murder if he must!
Oliver D'Arc: 4/10 He just wouldn't care that much. If I told him my pronouns, he'd just be like 'ok' then immediately proceed to misgender me. He would never do anything outside of that though.
Yassen Gregorovich: 10/10 As a professional, Yassen would be using my preferred pronouns no questions asked! He'd also politely correct people who got the pronouns wrong or kill them because he's a ride or die like that (I may not be a Rider, but I feel like Yassen would still have my back in this area though).
Desmond Nye: 100/10 HE IS AN ALLY YOUR HONOR!!!! DESMOND NYE HAS PRIDE FLAGS IN HIS OFFICE AND ALWAYS ASKS FOR PREFERRED NAMES AND PRONOUNS! AND HE RESPECTS THEM! WHEN HE WAS IN CHARGE THERE WERE VERY STRONG ANTI-DISCRIMINATION POLICIES IN PLACE AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL! (As you can see I am very calm and normal about this headcanon.)
Nile: -11/10 He'd only be this level of unsupportive because he'd hate me and want to make me feel as uncomfortable/invalidated as humanly possible. If it was anyone other than me, he'd be fairly supportive, like, a solid 5/10! But we do have to take into account that Nile is totally very petty and that I'd bet good money he'd get very creative with his transphobia in a not-good way. In short, NILE IS A HATER!!!
Karl Steiner: -2/10 He'd psycho-analyze me and try to gaslight me into being cis. He'd straight up become a conversion therapist in an instant, but he'd also try to ease into the role to not scare me off and then go from there. But that would be his secondary goal. His primary goal would be to see if I'd make a good assassin and IDK how I'd do on his tests and that's not what we're talking about here. All in all, would not recommend this man as a therapist for anyone ever.
Anthony Sean 'Ash' Howell: 5/10 He'd just nod and say "nice" before going back to smoking and being angsty which, honestly, slay! (Not the smoking part! Don't smoke kids, it's very, very, extremely bad for you!) I can't see him being transphobic, but I can't see him being an ally either. He's just a guy. He's just Ken.
Gordan Ross: 8/10 He is a supportive man! As long as I was tuned into his lessons and knew what was going on, then we'd have no problem! I could also see him correcting people if they misgender me which is an added bonus.
Eijit 'Jet' Binnag: 8/10 Jet would use the correct pronouns and would have a general understanding of what being agender means, she'd also occasionally correct people if they used the wrong pronouns. Mostly all she'd care about was whether or not I put effort into her classes and knew what was going on.
Amanda: 10/10 Asks for pronouns, uses pronouns, corrects people when they use incorrect pronouns, not notes! Only good ally vibes!
Walker: 8/10 He's got nothing against being agender and would definitely use they/them pronouns, but he'd also just say some really out-of-pocket stuff about trans/non-binary/agender people and unintentionally make things uncomfortable. So, he gets points off for that, but having said that, Walker would totally correct people if they got my pronouns wrong and it wouldn't JUST be because he's a little bitch who likes to correct people to be annoying!
Klaus: 1/10 He worked with so, so, so many terrorist groups and is a mercenary. This man would not be out there saying trans rights! He probably wouldn't hate crime me if we were both students because he wouldn't want to get in trouble with Jet, Gordon, Amanda, Walker, or Yassen. I also couldn't see him going out of his way to hate crime me. Klaus would refuse to use the correct pronouns and constantly refer to me as a 'girl' when he thought he could get away with it. If he did use they/them for me, it would be because he was forced to. That being said, it wasn't like he would've been talking to or interacting much with me in the first place, so he'd be easy to ignore and it would be mutual.

You know it's funny bc i didn't realise lox was a jewish dish. I eat it all the time & didn't even realise I'd ever eaten jewish foods. It makes me wonder how many other jewish dishes are out there that i love but i wouldn't even know it
Common ones off the top of my head here stateside:
Bagels
Pastrami
Kugels
Certain versions of Chicken Soup/Briskets have heavy jewish influence in how they're prepared. (Seriously I've seen so many chicken soup recipes that are basically just Matzo Ball soup without the matzo balls, and the brisket tends to be the ones that are prepared as roasts)
And since it's St.Patrick's day, the big one that Americans love for this holiday. Corned Beef. Canned corned beef is British, 100%, but the version of Corned beef that we tend to make for the holiday? Jewish.

my friends who don't know shit about taylor swift requested a pre-album explainer of wtf is going on so i wrote them a little newsletter... if you want something to send to your non-swiftie friends it's beneath the cut
Good morning team,
Why do we need a Swiftie newsletter?
I mean, no one really needs this. But she’s dropping a new album (“The Tortured Poets Department” or TTPD for short) in three days and I’m here to provide you with the information you need before the album comes out. I’ll be back with a post-album review letting you know 1) what juicy gossip was revealed on the album, 2) what tracks you should listen to, and 3) a few things you can say to your Swiftie friends to sound cultured.
What’s this album about?
Okay, I know this is ancient history, but cast your mind back to 2016. Kanye and Taylor Swift are beefing, and Kim Kardashian posts a clip of a phone call that makes Taylor look like a liar. Taylor gets canceled on social media and disappears for a year.
While all this is going on, she meets her boyfriend, the British actor Joe Alwyn. I have no clue what movies he was in at the time, but since then he was in The Favorite and Harriet, and also Conversations with Friends (I think, I haven’t seen it because Normal People put me off Sally Rooney). Here’s a quick timeline:
Late 2017: Taylor comes back with “Look What You Made Me Do” and reputation. People think reputation is a bad bitch album, but it’s actually an album about finding love in a time of despair.
2019: She drops Lover, which is about many things but primarily about how she loves him and wants to spend the rest of her life with him.
2020: Pandemic. Taylor writes two quarantine albums, folklore and evermore. These are primarily fictional, but there are a few love songs about him. He co-writes some of these songs pseudonymously.
2022: Midnights. This album becomes wildly successful. It occupies all of the top ten slots on the billboard hot 100 in the week it comes out. It breaks a bunch of sales records.
2023: The Eras Tour starts! Two weeks in, they announce the break up. Taylor briefly dates Matty Healy of the 1975, who is by all accounts a total asshole. This appears to have been a shitty rebound. A bit later, she starts dating the football player Travis Kelce and everyone loses their minds about it.
It looks like this album is going to be about the end of a relationship of six years and possibly rebounding/moving on.
Okay, but like… why did they break up?
I mean, I don’t know any of these people, so all I can offer you are guesses based on song lyrics:
1 - He was really big into his privacy, which is kind of difficult if you’re dating Taylor Swift.
2 - A lot of songs on Lover are about wanting to get married. There’s a song on Midnights that implies that she wanted to get married and he refused. Yikes.
What’s the promo situation for this album?
The most notable thing to me (and what is this if not me rambling about my opinions) are some playlists curated by Taylor on Apple Music. Each playlist focuses on one of the five stages of grief in mourning a relationship, and they contain songs from her past albums. There are copycat playlists on Spotify, if you’re interested. My favorite is “am I allowed to cry?” which is the playlist for the bargaining stage.
There’s also a wall in Chicago with a QR code that leads to a video of the words “Error 321 13” and a hidden message in her song lyrics that spells out “Hereby Conduct This,” which is presumably a message that will be finished by the time the album comes out.
What do we already know about the album?
16 tracks with 4 bonus tracks. There’s a song with Post Malone (yes, really) and a song with Florence + The Machine. I agree, this is not an intuitive combination, but I’m excited.
Two of the songs are over five minutes long. Two songs are entirely self-written, five are written with Aaron Dessner (from the National), and eight are written with Jack Antonoff (the producer who works with all the pop girlies). Her collaborations with Aaron Dessner are some of my favorite songs of hers, so this is good news to me.
That’s my preamble to the Tortured Poets Department!
I hope this was informative, but I barely scratched the surface. You have no idea how deep this goes. Also, I need you all to know that I sat down and wrote this in one sitting without Googling anything, which probably means I know too much about this subject.
In the meantime, I’ve been listening to “Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter which is a very stupid song that is fun to listen to. I’ve also been listening to girl in red’s new album, I’m Doing It Again Baby! which is aggressively mid. If you want to listen to a song on it, I recommend “Pick Me.”
See you in three days!
#i know i oversimplified and omitted a lot of stuff#but my goal was not to scare anybody away#taylor swift#ttpd

supernatural s12e16 ladies drink free (w. meredith glynn)
s12e16 / hannibal s2e9 shiizakana
okay so it's kind of generic dead boy and girl in snow but the fur on her jacket and the positions and the grunty growling presumably werewolf just made me think hey it's a way less gory version of the hannibal scene
MICK
My report to the home office ran long. We've had our hands full since... (Dean and Mick look down at a blood stain on the floor)
Well, best not to dwell on that.
DEAN
Wow. That is some world-class repression. You are British.
MICK
We prefer to call it a stiff upper lip.
you're one to talk there, dean
SAM
Wait a second. You killed them all? Even the ones that weren't hurting anyone?
MICK
Sorry?
SAM
I mean, werewolves aren't like most monsters. Some can control it. I mean, we – we have a buddy got bit. Nothing but beef hearts ever since.
MICK
And you trust him? Well, killing is a fundamental need for werewolves. And monsters don't just stop being monsters.
DEAN
Well, Garth did.
was wondering when this would come up
poor sammy. but dean's too excited for free and fancy shit. thanks for throwing us a bone, meredith
so old mick here lied about the girl being bitten, actual crisis of conscience or setup for having to kill her later to prove his point or...
(yay it's claire/kathryn keeper of my favorite hair on the show)
CLAIRE
So, your foreign exchange student is totally lame.
DEAN
Yeah. He's Sam's best friend. (Sam sighs deeply) They're like nerd soul mates.
you jealous, dean-o
why is the moon literally being erased by cg, forgot to make the cloud?
secret third option, return to the hospital to kill her quietly before she's even turned. but he's sorry! oh how convenient she turned right as he was about to kill her so he had to fend off her attack
CLAIRE
Sam, no offense, but who do you think the kids are gonna wanna talk to? Me, or some old skeezer?
skeezer lol
DEAN
Yeah? I used to think the same thing. Well, here's a little tip. Things aren't just black and white out here.
took a minute but he came around
should have seen her getting bitten coming but i 100% didn't
SAM
Mick, you killed a kid. We're not angry. We're done!
he gonna stick to that?
there's something about the way she said "unless i break out" that really worked. and the music was appropriate and far enough behind the dialogue it wasn't obtrusive
MICK
The subject died in agony. Sorry.
CLAIRE
Yeah. Maybe second time's a charm.
DEAN
Hey, no, no. You don't get a vote in this.
CLAIRE
It's my life. I get all the votes.
DEAN
Sam, you wanna back me up here?
SAM
It's her life.
of all people, sam's gonna back her up on this topic 24/7
dean really in full-on protective dad mode this episode. i must have learned this little werewolf lore tidbit in fic and didn't realize because i honestly thought we already knew this sire business, or made some inference from the vampires 🥴
kathryn newton is so good as claire
they remembered to put the moon in a spot that vaguely looked like it was obscured by clouds, good job team
very special episode where mick learns things aren't black and white, after all
CLAIRE
Right. Eat me, Teen Wolf.
lol tell him, claire!
BARTENDER
It's not like I want to do this. My pack, we were happy. We didn't hurt anyone. And then hunters with weapons that I've never seen before, they show up and... take out 20 of us, just like that.
ha ha so bmol is to blame for it all because they went after the veggie wolves, i snorted. hammering us over the head with their point again
and the very special episode where claire learns again she's loved by her family and not in fact better off alone
always laugh this show makes blood draws happen in any old place, just slam a needle in, bing bang boom done
wish they'd leave her hair what i assume is her natural texture (wavy), whenever it's overly Done like this it doesn't really vibe with what she's usually got going on. was gonna bitch if dean didn't get a hug goodbye from her :p
really glad they didn't kill her off. feel like if this was in the early seasons, she would have died for the manpain of it all

Hob headcanon… hobcanon…. Just some funny things I can imagine pre-dreamling hob doing.
- yelling “JOG ON, MATE”
- spending a sick day on the couch watching daytime reruns of britain’s got talent or X factor
- watching antiques roadshow like “had that, had that, saw that, mines in the cupboard, OI IS THAT MINE—“ always knowing the mystery historical object
- when a road or suburb gets renamed, sometimes he forgets and calls it by its older name
- either a meat pie aficionado, (freezer stocked with frozen pies) or refuses to eat them because He’s Seen Things with old meat pie fillings and even though he kNOWS they’re made in a pie factory with beef and health regulations… an olde pie shoppe incident has put him off maybe for life
- 100% accidentally electrocuted himself while using early electric home appliances because he didn’t read all the warnings in the instructions
- outed a ye olde candy maker who was cutting his ingredients with toxic substitutes and selling them to kids
- 1970s sideburns and moustache ;__; bought a lava lamp thinking it was real lava inside
- craved a spam toastie and stopped like “god no wtf”
some of these I believe to be very specific to british culture, which is why i can't comment on ALL of them, I only lived there for a month while on exchange in 2011 lol. with that said:
he absolutely does watch reruns of x-factor. he cries when little kids get the golden buzzer. he sings along to every song he knows. i don't think he enjoys magicians, though, for an array of reasons (especially after meeting dream post fishbowl).
i haven't seen much of antiques roadshow but i have watched an ungodly amount of Pawn Stars and I think he'd be able to clock the fake items waaaay before the specialists even show up. he would, however, disagree at the incredibly low deals they offer for the stuff they do find to be real.
i bet he gets super confused using apps like waze because the street names keep changing. why do they keep changing them. this is not a two way street. i'm sure there was a bridge here. where's my favourite restaurant– oh that closed down in 1922.
thinking of him trying to get his toast out of the toaster with a fork a la dumb ways to die. thanks for the mental image lol
hob will protect the children. i think he also doesn't like a lot of modern food because of the amount of chemicals that go into getting food to grocery store shelves.
he bought a lava lamp WHILE STONED and thought it was real lava. keeps it for whenever he feels like tripping balls.
i have no idea what that is but i've only heard bad things about it

Hello Ange~ Firstly, American here. I love hearing about what's happening with royalty and the coronation. I've never followed it, so hearing them pull a Team Green 'bow to the King' in real life is fascinating (and probably horrifying? Hopefully they don't hang people for it or refuse them from being able to go home).
As for the fandom: Who would you rather... Daemon or Aemond?
[1] Who would you take with you on long road trips?
[2] Who would you bring along as back up to squash beef with someone?
[3] Who would you invite to meet your parents and/or personal friend group?
[4] Who would you rather have as a son if they were a child?
[5] Who would you take out to the movies?
[6] Who would you take to the mall?
[7] Who would you show all of your smut to?
[8] Who would you let pick out an outfit for you?
[9] Who would you let cut your hair?
[10] Who do you think would take the biggest piss out of the coronation?
I think a lot of people will be using the opportunity to boo Ol' Charlie Boy, at least they will if they have any sense! We have elderly people in this country dying of hypothermia because they can't afford to turn on their central heating, yet this fucking coronations looks set to be one of the most expensive events in British history. ANYWAY, onto the meat of your ask...
I would take Daemon on long road trips. With how many times he's been exiled he's a seasoned traveller, so I'd feel safest with him.
Daemon again. I know whoever I have a problem with is less likely to mouth off to me if there's the sinister threat of having their head hacked in half by Dark Sister.
For my parents: Aemond. My mum doesn't speak very good English, so gets around this by just electing not to speak and my dad is the brooding, silent type - he'd handle the uncomfortable silence well. For my friends, Daemon. They're a raucous bunch, who like to drink, and I think they'd find him good craic.
Aemond. Well behaved and a total mama's boy, what more could I ask for? The Freudian implications of this answer are giving me the gips lol YIKES.
Aemond. It's a silent activity, so he'd enjoy it and I think we'd share similar taste in cinema.
Daemon. I hate shopping, I feel like his "fuck around and find out" attitude would make it slightly more bearable.
Aemond. I have a corruption kink lol
Aemond. Slay-mond. I like how he dresses, despite the fact he never changes his fucking clothes, so I think he'd pick something stylish.
Daemon. He cycles through enough hairstyles in season one for me to believe he knows what he's doing with a pair of scissors.
Daemon, 100%. I think Aemond would be a royalist, as much as that pains me to say.

OH this is fun!! i cannot stand oasis i don't care about morissey taylor swift is mediocre at best music without words (modern music alright not like bach or something) is boring punk wants what rap has kate bush is probably one of the greatest artists in the past few decades too many people claim to like bowie but would demand to have him crucified in the 70s... what else... back to punk too many people claim to be punk even though the most radical song in their library is god save the queen (which WAS punk and radical. in the 70s.) OH and placebo's cover of running up that hill is the only cover of kate bush i will accept. hmmm if i think if any more be prepared......
ooo theres a lot here you understood the brief. right lets sort through this. oasis fairs i dont mind them but i get it. morrissey well everyone does and should hate morrissey obvs. taylor swift hard agree as is no surprise after yesterday...the music without words thing is tricky for me because i dont agree necessarily BUT i must admit i dont tend to listen to much instrumental music. there are some tracks i love but for the most part i dont know i struggle with it. feel like its a me problem though. punk hard disagree sorry modern punk is mostly shite but original punk like 70s punk particularly late 70s british punk im a massive fan of i have to say. kate bush absolutely 100% a musical genius that shouldnt be unpopular...back to punk with you again i see what youre getting at but. what was punk in 70s as a music genre is still punk imo...the sentiments may not be modern but thats because the songs are from. the 70s yknow. if the alternative is to be into modern punk we're in trouble because so much modern punk is soo bad. like pop punk is a scourge on the earth genuinely. havent heard placebos cover and i have personal beef with running up that hill in general BUT i do like suspended in gaffa cover by the figgs i have to confess. in general though people should not cover kate bush i fear they will just embarrass themselves
