Watching the newest season of "Make Some Noise," and a prompt reminded me of a story that came out about my paternal grandma's father (i.e. my great-grandpa) when that branch of the family gathered together for a funeral a few years back.

Great-Grandpa D worked for the railroads on coal trains during the Great Depression, but the demand for coal went down during the summer, when folks weren't using it for heating, and he'd take all sorts of odd jobs to fill the seasonal gap in order to support his family of 8 children (they were devout Catholics and Grandma, the eldest child and the only girl until sibling #8, wound up going to boarding school mostly because they literally did not have room for her at home). One of those jobs was working as a cooper to make barrels for a big name, major bourbon distillery.

Great-Grandpa would bring a flask to work in his lunchbox, which didn't phase anyone at that time and place, but the flask would be empty. He'd fill it up from one of the barrels at the distillery, and bring it home to fill up a barrel he'd made there. Once he had a full barrel of bourbon, he'd sell it off for a tidy sum, and then repeat the process.

I'd probably stan him more, except when Grandma was valedictorian of her boarding school graduating class and got a full ride scholarship to a local college, he said she couldn't take it since she needed to come home and help take care of her younger siblings.

#life outside the internet #i was so mad on grandma's behalf and still am #she's so smart #managed the family's finances for years at a level that impressed uncle who was an acual accountant #sharp as a tack with card games well into her 90s #if she'd been born 50 years later she'd have been a force to be reckconed with #as it is she's the beloved matriarch of 3 generations who gathered together to move her into her new assisted living apartment #in only a few hours #she still knows a terrifying amount about all the first ladies #having read basically every biography published on them

I think if Grace had actually loved Thaniel - if there'd been anything beyond a general tolerance and 'he's a warm body', if Thaniel would be allowed to follow all of the dreams he had instead of just being the means for Grace to follow hers, Mori wouldn't hate her quite so much.

As it is?

I would have fully supported any and all efforts on his part to throw a train at her.

Thinking about how so much of the fandom (especially in fanfic) treats Sapphire like she's stupid. Literally how did you manage to misinterpret her character so bad. She's literally so smart. Her intelligence was what helped her pass Roxanne's gym test. People constantly underestimate her because she needs help reading and doesn't act stereotypically feminine. Both things that are directly related to her CHILDHOOD TRAUMA

#I'm literally so obsessed with her #have been since i was a little kid #you have no idea how much it pains me to see how badly people misinterpret her character #she's so smart #her father is a researcher #she is more competent than him #and has field experience #she is so emotionally intelligent too #please understand #she is a girl #she is traumatized #stay away from her unless you're ready to accept her actual character because I've been seeing these shitty interpretations for YEARS #i can't do it anymore #😭😭😭 #pokespe #sapphire birch #sapphire pokespe #dexholder sapphire #pokemon special #pokemon adventures

I'm again overwhelmed by the force of nature whose name is Maggie Collins and I'm in love with her phenomenal debut in the last two episodes of season 1. Originally, I just wanted to talk about her phone conversation with Eliot/Adam Sinclair and their subsequent date. Nate's pacing behind Eliot as he rambles about how long it took to just get coffee with her followed by Eliot's immediate success at securing a date is comedic gold. And the way she dominated the conversation during the date by absolutely roasting Nate was incredible.

I had just wanted to scream about how amazing Maggie was during these scenes, but my roommate told me that his theory was that Maggie knew all along. Not everything, of course, but she knew that Nate was involved and listening. I only thought that it was funny for Eliot to score a coffee date so easily since it was so difficult for Nate, but if Maggie knew all along...well, that just makes everything so much more brilliant.

It makes sense, too. Having been married to Nate, Maggie knew his ego would be hung up on how long it took for them to get coffee in the past, so she deliberately agrees to set up a date with Eliot/Adam immediately because she knows exactly how much that will bother Nate. Later during the date, she clearly begins a conversation that revolves around Nate and keeps it there...because she knows he's listening. Every expression and comment is purposeful. Eliot asks her, "You come here a lot?" and she answers, "No. I just wanted to see you" with that expression on her face and that smile and the camera cuts to a close-up of Eliot's "wtf am I supposed to say to Nate's ex-wife" face. The wonky music, the knowing look and body language Maggie exhibits, and the moving shot to the van that the team is in—she knows, she has to have known the whole time.

Anyways, that was my Maggie Collins Appreciation™ rant, but now that I'm fully invested in this theory, new questions have flooded my mind. When did Maggie find out? Did she realize it on her own? How much of it had to do with Eliot/Adam's "ghosting" and the disappearance of Nate and "Portia"? Like, if you think about it, Maggie was completely uninvolved with the Sterling takeover at the end of The First David Job. Parker and Hardison got caught, but the team was able to escape and consequently split up. Maggie doesn't return until Eliot calls her. Obviously, Blackpoole has obtained both of the David statues, but as far as Maggie knows, she verified the "second David," so it's not out of the ordinary that Blackpoole is putting both on display. But then "Adam Sinclair," "Portia," and Nate suddenly vanish and "Adam" doesn't call until three months later since that's when The Second David Job begins following the events at the end of The First David Job. I doubt Blackpoole or Sterling filled her in on what actually happened. So, did she realize? How much did she realize? How did she know Nate was involved and how much he was involved? How did she know that "Adam" was not really "Adam"? This theory makes so much sense to me, but now there are such interesting gaps that aren't necessarily super significant to the overall plot of the last two episodes, BUT LIKE I NEED ANSWERS—

#I love Maggie so much #as my roomie has said #she's so smart #and beautiful #and competant #she's so out of Nate's league #for someone so genuinely pure she is GREAT at grifting #Eliot literally said I feel used after she exposed them in the van #also I'm still laughing at how all of them were just sitting there watching the date go down #like it was entertainment #bc let's be real it was #leverage #the first david job #the second david job #1x12 #1x13 #eliot spencer #maggie collins #adam sinclair #alec hardison #parker #sophie devereaux #nate ford #mkwg4271

Faye's pattern recognition is hilariously good.

When my mother throws the tug for her, she will tell Faye "okay, X more throws" and then count them down when she wants to be done. On the last throw she says "okay, last one".

This has happened often enough that Faye knows that phrase means my mother won't throw the tug again. So this morning when my mother told Faye "okay, last one" Faye brought the tug back to me instead on her return.

Clever girl.

Sif had her first vet visit yesterday, and was tragically diagnosed with being a Fucking Menace

(she got a clean bill of health but the vet says she was literally running around in circles during the exam -- she's "high energy for her age".)

(I have been getting a lot of puppy time. I love her so much. I'm so tired. She's not.)

#she's so smart #also she wants to do crime #also her papa is buying her pink everything which just makes her Pure Gerblin Child Heritage even funnier #ma peche: WHO'S MY SWEET BABY GIRL YOU ARE IT'S Y--OW MY NOSE! #sif the baby land shark
