#i don't remember his surname
Text
I have lost the ability to watch Super Dark Times without reading Zach as an unrealised gay teen in love with his best friend and confused about his sexuality. I know deep down that most of the moments that triggered this read have other explanations, but try telling my gay little brain that.
#Super Dark Times#Zach Super Dark Times#i don't remember his surname#OKAY LIKE#i love this film a whole lot#and I've read the screenplay#and some c h o i c e s were made with Zach and Josh in the final film#like how Zach just gazes up at Josh all lovey dovey on the bridge#and the way he cups Josh's face to try and calm him down#and the I love you at the end? not scripted. But Owen Campbell knew the truth#even scripted moments like Zach seeing Josh while he's fantasising about Allison#and when Zach tells Allison that he c a n ' t kiss her#I just think Zach was very very much in love with Josh which honestly just makes things more tragic#josh templeton

So, the Jackson’s Diary Finale just dropped and I have exactly three thoughts about it:
(spoiler alert)
If Dexer is really just a creation of Jackson's Magic... Paola I'm gonna find you and I'm gonna break your favourite mug. No. Paola, BAD PAOLA.
I SWEAR if Jackson acts like a dick and intentionally ruins Exer's life I'm gonna kill him. That guy has to learn how to move on. Exer did and he has worked Hard to become a better person, and has tried everything to be forgiven, and now Jackson is making fun of him. He doesn't get to do this too. Nah nah.
It was... A little... Anticlimatic? Like It didn't feel like a finale... I don't know maybe it's me...

I can't believe they killed off jenny lee's boyfriend wtf
#call the midwife#i really thought that they were gonna get married and all#like i just assumed they would. can't remember if they ever mentioned his surname but i guess it wasn't worth lol#i really don't know how i avoided spoilers for this lmao this must be an iconic british tv death#also guessing i don't need to tag as spoilers bc the episode is 10 years old lol#tbh it makes sense bc i guess jessica raine wanted to leave the show and the real jenny lee did leave midwifery#but still. weirdly tho i think this is the first episode i didn't cry at??? usually im bawling by the end. i was really just in denial tbh#i thought it was gonna be declared a mistake right up until the funeral scene lmao

Foreman and House and Cuddy and Taub and for the most part Wilson aren’t first names so that’s fine but i barely remember that Chase and Cameron even have first names. He LOOKS like a Chase way more than a Robert. Cameron is a perfectly serviceable name too and I think the word “Allison” is said like five times in the entire series.
#house md#kutner's different#i know kutner is a surname but i straight up don't remember what his first name is#i mean i do right this second bc i looked it up#but lawrence. not sticking#that's kal

david and maxime
twink & bear, childhood friends to enemies to lovers... they did it all... good ol time before i nuked david out of existence. my sweet emoest child, rip bozo
ok so going on about their old story (no longer canon AT ALL.)
david kinda was a creepypasta oc? but the weird kind. he was jason the toymaker and candy pop's child (hashtag rate my creepypasta ships) made by zalgo for them. but at some point he ran away slash got lost to the human world where he was rescued in a big house of weirdos welcoming weirdos
and in that house was maxime, who became an orphan during his childhood (his single mother died in a car accident) so his godfather charles took in him and he lived in that house. charles was my ex's oc and MY BIG CRUSH fr i still love him... so sad my ex hates me & cockblocks me anyways
so yea david & maxime became friends because children of the same age group. also complementary (david being hyper and rebellious, maxime being a bookworm and obedient)
funfacts about them:
david fell first during like highschool and put a cute love letter in maxime's locker
david was lowkey yandere with maxime (some girl had a crush on maxime and david was so jealous he tried to KILL HER (he had a big ass hammer that changed into a big ass double-edged axe) but maxime got in-between and frickin lost his arm
no way... david got blue hair and pronouns...
also david make his hat by himself. charles is a hatter so he spent time with him (making friends with his crush's godfather, typical). same for his name on the back of his jacket
he wears a universe contact on his left eye (not his right one, it's hidden behind the hair)
david was "born" with a star-shaped tattoo on his right cheek but he grew a bit embarrassed of it and tattooed a tear on his left cheek to be tough like prisonners each time they kill someone (david's killcount: 0. pussy)
david was jew
david had powers (flight as illustrated) and could mimick one's magical powers if he had their explicit consent (iirc, he had to ask a question like "can i borrow your powers" and the lender had to say yes. so there was leeway for him to trick the lender into saying yes)
when mimicking one's magic, david's physique and clothes changed to also mimick the lender's colour palette/clothes. also his mimicked magical powers were half as powerful as the lender's but he's able to mimick STRONG beings too
not much about maxime he's just a dude ig
maxime is my plushie and my forever crush
ah yes. he had brown eyes when born but has a Disease which turned his right eye green and now he's myopic. rip bozo
he's always dressed formally
maxime's greysexual. david's hypersexual. good match
anyways that's it ig. say hip hip hurray for david's sake
#art#ocs#nothing about maxime here is canon in tenyoxin#david#i don't even remember his surname lmao what a bozo#also is it apparent how obviously obessed with clowns i was#also also irl maxime is my teddy bear and david is my jack-in-a-box#theyre the ship ever btw

I went to a stand up show last night, and the opener was apparently the guy who played Tinky Winky in the Teletubbies, which was pretty unexpected and great, seeing as I loved that show when I was little.
The guy was hilarious. I talked to him after the show for a bit, and he seemed super cool. I looked it up this morning, and it turns out he only played Tinky Winky in 70 episodes (of a total of 485 eps, which is a fact I also unearthed in my post show googling). He was fired because, apparently, his “interpretation of the role was not acceptable,’’ which was basically code for “he made Tinky Winky seem too gay.”
Like, what the actual fuck? Supposedly there was a lot of controversy over this back in the day. It started a whole thing, with certain people lauding Tinky Winky as a gay icon, and others going absolutely nuts about how he was infecting the children with the homosexual agenda. I say ‘him’, because that’s what all the criticisms referred to Tinky Winky as, but I’m relatively certain that none of the Teletubbies had a gender.
Anyway, the whole discussion is insane, and I have fallen down an internet hole and am absolutely fascinated by the phenomena they call “the outing of Tinky Winky” and the far-reaching implications it had on the societal attitudes to homophobia.
Like, goddamn.
#it's actually insane#i would be so tempted to ask dave about it#and what he thought#he seemed like he'd talk about it if I asked#he was pretty easygoing#but I still feel like it would be a dick move#like the dude had to go through all this#only for some rando chick to come up to him after his set#and accost him with the story of a shitty time in his life#just to indulge her own curiousity?#anyway#i just realised how douchey it sounds to refer to a comedian i don't know by just his first name#it's purely because I can't remember his surname#i would have to switch tabs#mid tagging#and who has the energy for that?

Mr. Warren?
As in, like... Miles Warren?
#the amazing spider-man 48#then again there was also ANOTHER teacher during the high school part of the comic still names warren#i think stan lee might just automatically default to warren as a teacher surname.#ive heard that he used to make his characters' names alliterative so they'd be easier to remember#unfortunately im not sure what the countermeasure to 'making sure you don't use the same exact name twice' would be

renege when magi started off with spectacular pacing and worldbuilding and digestible and memorable political commentary and then went too abstract and tsubasa reservoir chronicle (derogatory). is anyone else mourning that or just me
#just thinking thoughts...#i went back to read its opening chapter a while ago and the only thing that stood out to me as bad was the breasts obsession#everything else was really good...#sorry. thinking abt this because i just started reading shoukoku no altair just now and like#i think it wants to be like midseries magi but is falling short in several aspects#firstly there's not enough love in the backgrounds imo.#the sense of the world isn't good (though i think part of it is due to the scanlators not translating the map labels?!)#but it's just like... it somehow feels generic even though there's a VERY specific time and place they're drawing from#and like the pacing of that first chapter... it's just so close. they didn't need that 1 page spread of mahmut trying to find evidence#if you were going to show that you needed to at least commit to the bit and show his thoughts getting more desperate#if the whole gimmick is that they used the wrong type of feather for the arrow this is how it should have gone.#he looks at the arrow early on (i don't think he looks at it until the end) ->#he starts looking for evidence and asking people around. during this time he is getting visibly desperate ->#at the end of the day he sadly pets his falcon feeling as though he had failed and WHILE HE IS STROKING HIS PET BIRD'S WINGS#he recalls the type of feather on the shaft. that's how it should have gone.#that's how it should have gone.#also since a lot of the words are turkish i think it also introduced too many unfamiliar thoughts names and concepts all at once#like it could have been clearer that pasha was a title and not a surname#i like that all the characters had monikers to help people remember them but again.#too much worldbuilding too fast#it's kind of giving de with the information overload but the key difference in that is#in de infodump is opt-in and not required for the actual plot#i think shoukoku no altair has a built world but everyone already knows how it works and it wouldn't make narrative sense#to explain it in depth through the dialogue#anyways. it IS interesting reading it because it's like.

“My girlfriend will be upset if she sees you touching me like that on my chest,” Carlos murmured, high as fuck post surgery.
“Sir—” you sighed, removing the stethoscope from his chest. You straightened the lapels of your white coat. “I’m your doctor.”
Carlos Sr. made an amused noise from his chair beside his son’s hospital bed. He gestured towards you.
“You don’t have a girlfriend,” Carlos Sr. told his son.
“Oh,” Carlos blinked his big, brown eyes. “I don't?”
Carlos was certain he had a girlfriend. They've been dating for over four years now. Their relationship was kept from the world as his girlfriend wanted to focus on her job without being bombarded by Carlos' millions of fans in her workplace and Carlos respected that, although he was not exactly the type who liked the idea of secret relationships. What did she do again? Carlos couldn't remember. The anesthesia was making everything whoozy for him.
“That's your wife, son.”
Carlos moved his gaze to your coat—[Name] [Surname]-Sainz, M.D., Chief of Trauma Surgery.
"Oh."
You raised an amused brow at his dumbstruck face, his beautiful brown eyes wide and his mouth agape. You shook your head at your husband's adorableness, smiling affectionately.

Decided that it's time to create first looks at my dogs*
Finished the first two, Charlie and Aurora (I will link Aurora's post here)
Charlie
Comes from a lineage of professional racers (in sled dog racing). He continues in this tradition. He's a Siberian husky or Alaskan Malamute. Or their mix. I'm not sure right now (will check once I'm home and I will find the notebook with all these things). He is ambitious, a great leader and very competitive. Even though he isn't as strict and serious as his father, he still comes off as cold sometimes. But once you get to know him, you learn he's very kind and will help you with anything (as long as he knows how of course). When he isn't racing or training (with his team or with young pups), he likes to spend time taking his wife out (whether it's for dinner, for a little adventure or just a walk around the city).
It's my first time, so I need a little more practice (well actually second, but the first isn't any better)
*by dogs I mean my plushies/stuffed dogs. They're just toys, I don't have that many real dogs, don't worry
#i hope to make a comic with them one day#but first i want to learn how to draw them#the shading isn't much but it's more of just a reference so it doesn't matter#charlie#i can't remember his surname rn#it's been so long since I've done anything with them#artnameisavery#ocs#art#drawing#dog#i drew this just with a photo of the toy as a reference.#any inaccuracies in the dog's anatomy are expected as I don't have much practice in it.#the dog world

YOU HAVE PERMISSION TO INFODUMP PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT WIGGLY'S SIBLINGS???? THAT HE APPARENTLY HAS????
omg ok SO
Meet the Lords in Black. Charming, aren't they?
Yes, Wiggly does indeed have four brothers who all do different things, so I'll cover them one by one, in order of introduction (since we've already met each of them in Nightmare Time at least once). BTW Nightmare Time has a fuckton of lore in it that I won't go into here, so even though I am about to spoil significant parts of it for you, I do recommend watching it, it's really good and if there's enough interest they might make a third one!
(Also you might notice they're all in doll form in this picture. This is how we knew them up until NPMD introduced us to what I call their Tumblr sexyman forms. Which are rad as hell by the way.)
So you already know Wiggly. That little green fucker, Wiggog Y'Wrath, the Capitalist Cthulu who does uwu-speak and starts a cult by invading people's minds. This will become a bit of a reoccurring theme with these guys. He's also the only one to successfully start an apocalypse, and the only one to have attempted to birth himself into our reality. (Or is he? We'll get to that...) He does seem to have some kind of dominion over the other LiB, as whenever all five of them show up there's always emphasis placed on him, like in NPMD where he does most of the talking while his siblings occasionally butt in.
Now for Bliklotep. Blinky seems to have slightly lower-scale ambitions than Wiggly, but don't let that fool you. Eyeball Boi is still incredibly dangerous. He runs an amusement park, WatcherWorld, deep within the Hatchetfield Witchwood. But it's not for the amusement of the patrons. Oh no. It's for Blinky's own amusement. Once you step inside, every insecurity, every shred of potential conflict will be ripped to the forefront, turning people against each other to the point of trying to kill each other until he's fully infected their minds. It's implied that, if not all, but a significant chunk of the workers at WatcherWorld were once patrons before having their minds taken over by Blinky. He's also implied to be the thing in Trail To Oregon that Jack Bauer sees during his venom-induced hallucination, as Blinky is referred to as "The Watcher With 1,000 Eyes", which is exactly what JB says he sees? Making Blinky the only LiB to induce a Starkid crossover. My headcanon is that the Dikrats founded Hatchetfield. But regardless.
Next up on the roster is Tinky. T'noy Karaxis, the Time Bastard. You may be wondering about that one line in NPMD where he recognised Pete as a Spankoffski, and said he "could have the whole set in his toybox". Has Tinky gone after Pete's relatives?
Well. Um. You know Ted, right? Yeah, his name is Spankoffski. He's Pete's big brother. We actually got the surname reveal before the brother reveal, lol. And that's not the only reveal we got about Ted. Our boy Teddy Bear has this whole entire tragic backstory and it turns out he gets fucked over in literally every timeline! Isn't that fun?
So, to summarise an entire episode: Tinky makes travel fuckery happen, Ted wants to go back in time to fix his life, accidentally goes back to before the time machine was created and gets stuck in the past, literally. Tinky is watching and laughing at the whole thing, then shows up to blow Ted's brain to smithereens with his weird little magic box, the Bastard's Box, where he stores all the people he toys with. Anyway Ted eventually catches up with the present by aging, except now no one knows who he is, he's... actually I won't spoil that. But once he dies he ends up eternally trapped and tortured in the Bastard's Box. Yaaay.
Fast forward to Nightmare Time 2 and we get introduced to Nibbly, in possibly the most unexpected way imaginable. He's revealed to have been behind a whole episode literally right at the end of said episode, and even though it was kind of foreshadowed, it hits you like a freight train in the best way. Remember when I said Wiggly was the only one who tried to birth himself into reality? That was kind of a lie. Nibblenephim can sort of do that anyway. Every year, he can possess a bunch of carcasses and create a living form to walk the earth for one night. He also has a cult of followers who provide him with the carcasses, as well as a sacrifice to feed on. There's a little more to it, specifically with how the sacrifice is chosen, but again, I'm trying to spoil as little as possible. Go watch Nightmare Time. Nibbly also seems to have a "pig" motif, and his theme song, The Nibbly Ditty, is a banger, easily my favourite of the three LiB theme songs we've heard so far.
And finally, we are introduced to Pokotho, in the very last episode of NMT2.
Except no. We were formally introduced to Pokey there, yes, but we've seen his apocalypse already. Long before NPMD, before Nightmare Time, even before Black Friday.
Yeah, remember me saying that Wiggly was the only one to successfully start an apocalypse? That was also a lie! Pokey already did that, and he did it without ever showing his masked face. Remember The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals? The blue spores that came down in a meteor and turned everyone into singing zombies? That was Pokey's doing! That's his blue spores! That's his apocalypse!
This also provides an explanation for why blowing up the meteor didn't work. Emma and Hidgens were right about the hivemind thing, but wrong about the location of the central brain. It wasn't the meteor - the meteor was just the vessel which carried the spores to Earth. The central brain was sitting safely up in the Black and White, laughing as Paul blew himself to smithereens. The central brain was Pokey, the Singular Voice, the most uncompromising of his brothers. The one who hates every voice that is not his own, hence the hivemind and making all of his zombies speak in HIS voice.
Anyway in NMT2 he's happily collecting musical zombies by taking on a human form and infiltrating a fighting ring of superpowered children until he has enough to kickstart another apocalypse. (Don't question it, we're almost done). He also calls himself Otho, not Pokey, making him the only LiB to have two different abbreviations of his name. Hannah is also there (remember her? Lex's little sister?) and she is like incredibly important to this whole thing, she has a super powerful mind, but that's a whole other thing.
But I did mention Hannah for a reason. Because you said "Wiggly's SIBLINGS". And while the Lords in Black are always referred to as brothers, they do have one more sibling. A sister. A Queen in White. And her name is Webby.
Yep, Hannah's imaginary friend isn't imaginary, who could have guessed? She's benevolent, always trying her best to combat her brothers' antics, but given that there's one of her and five of them, this is a bit of an uphill battle. Webby doesn't have a full name that we know of, nor does she have a doll. We don't know much about her. And she may not be all-powerful - but then again, neither are her brothers.
Infodump concluded. Hope this helps, it was very fun to write.

fellow doctor heeseung! × resident doctor y/n!
warning: MDNI!, unprotective sex (whops) kissing and more?
not in a million years you would think you will do something like this, with someone that you adore so much.. someone that you look up to as a senior to you, someone that you met everyday and formally call him by his surname instead of..
"h-heeseung!"your sinful lips moaning for his name, "sshhh, you want them to hear you?"immediately you bite your bottom lips once getting that warn from him, he peck your lips and smile. "didn't expect you to be so obedient to me, love. such a good girl."you humming to everything he said to you, trying to not moan out his name.
you know what you did is wrong because you're just a doctor resident and he's your senior doctor, it's totally wrong but you couldn't stop him. not that you can't but you don't want to, having him pounding his cock so deep into you in the small store room in the middle of your night shift, the clock strike 3 in the morning as much as you remember when he call for you to help him earlier.
it's all start with you helping him with sorting out papers, and files of patients records and ending up finding yourself here in this room with him doing things that you could ever imagine in your right mind. "just a little more, does it hurt you, hm?"you shake your head, no he doesn't hurt you but the pleasure is too much.
heeseung smile when he kiss your lips, hips still rutting into you. he could feel your wall hugging him tight at each thrust he make, sending him over the cloud but he know that he cannot be loud. "s-shit, you're so fucking tight, love."he let out a low groan, watching how you try to control your own voices and somehow he like the way you did.
liking the idea of doing this in secret, liking the idea that there's an outside world that you try so hard it keep it out, not wanting people to find out about what the two of you did in this room. "fuck- heeseung i'm close ah-"he shut you up with his lips, kissing you so deep, cock still pounding in and out of you.
your fingers tangle with his hair, he push you against the wall, "cum for me, love."he whisper those once he pull away from the kiss, like a cue you could feel the feeling at the pit of your stomach rushing down. heeseung smile, letting you rode out all your orgasm with you weakly leaning on his shoulder, doesn't have much energy left in you.
he thrust into you once.. twice then he pull out from you, only to shot his loads on your stomach. "oh fuck."you watch those thick white liquid spurting out from his cock, messily on your skin. somehow, heeseung has those proud smile after everything that he had done with you. you look at him and he smirk, he peck your lips before he slowly put you down to make you stand on the ground.
"so fucking perfect, love."he caressed your cheek softly then continue to kiss your lips again. when he pull away, he stare into your eyes, "doctor.."your soft voice call for him, which make him chuckle. "that was not what you called me earlier, ms.y/n."your cheeks immediately turn red as his remarks, he continue to caressed your cheek as he stare into your eyes.
but then heeseung take a few step back, you watch him grab a box of tissue at the top shelf behind him and he rip it open before he help you clean up and get dress again. "so.. do i pretend like nothing happen earlier or-" "unless you want more, you can always come to my office, love."he interrupt your words then wink at you, blush immediately creep up your face.
you slowly nod your head, he pat your head then he open the door after grabbing a random file on the shelf. "later, make sure you keep everything in place again, okay? ms.y/n."he said, know it very well he did that on purpose, you follow him from behind after you fix your white coat. "sure, dr."
heeseung turn to look at you just to give you a wink before he walk away.
should i write a longer version of this? cause i kind of like the plot lol

Is "Uh, nope" a frequent US response to lamb?
Or is US lamb somehow different?
This is just a vaguely mystified response to some comments here.
I'm guessing the "G-word" is gamey. I've smelt gamey meat, I don't like it, and Irish lamb definitely isn't that. Also, most people I know don't need to screw up their courage before cooking or eating it.
Mutton, mature sheep-meat, has - or so I've been told, because I've never found it in any local butcher - a much fuller flavour, still not gamey, but more ... robust, pronounced, emphatic, choose your descriptor. It is, after all, a more mature meat.
For terminology reference (though this may not be current any more), "lamb" is up to one year old, "hogget" - remember the farmer's name in "Babe"? - is up to two years old, and "mutton" is over two years.
*****
As I said, I haven't seen mutton anywhere, and haven't HEARD of hogget.
This might be, as I hinted, because terminology has been simplified and all meat from sheep is now "lamb" - and that may answer my own question. Sometimes US lamb has a fuller flavour than, say, Wicklow lamb in Ireland, because sometimes US lamb is hogget or mutton instead.
If so, it restores a possible original meaning to "mutton dressed as lamb". That's now best known as "an older woman dressed inappropriately young", and though the meaning has been around for a long time (this Rowlandson print is dated 1810)...
..."dressing" is also the term for preparing meat for sale.
And THAT makes me wonder if the critical phrase goes beyond fashion into the fine old tradition of adulterating food, and wily butchers transforming elderly sheep into the semblance of younger lamb then charging undiscerning customers accordingly.
I don't know how they might have done it, but if they could then they would. The ways in which 18th-19th century foods were fiddled with is amazing, and more than a bit Yuck.
Or in this case, Ew.
Comments, corrections, criticisms and all the rest are cordially invited.
:->
*****
Side-note; in keeping with the way nicknames get attached to surnames - "Chalky" White, "Dusty" Miller etc. - anyone called Curry usually ended up as "Mutton".
Two brothers at my school had this happen; Tom Curry, the older one, had been "Mutton" for a couple of years, and when his kid brother Will started school he became, of course, "Lamb".
Oh, how we laffed...
*****
ETA: @bellyoftheblast just messaged me this:
It turns out, and I only learned this very recently (I think it's in Hannah Glasse) that "dressed" used to mean "cooked" rather than "prepared for sale". Which would mean "mutton dressed as lamb" would be fast-cooked and thus greasy, unpleasantly tough and decidedly stringy. (Meanwhile I'll never waste good lamb on stew again now that I have a source for mutton -- MUCH better flavour for slow cooking).
Thanks for this snippet! We've got the Prospect Books facsimile of Hannah Glasse 1st ed, so I pulled it down, blew off the dust - it's been a while - and yes indeed, I found the following recipes in just four successive pages:
"To dreſs a Leg of Mutton à la Royale",
"To dreſs a Leg of Mutton to eat like Veniſon",
"To dreſs Mutton the Turkiſh Way"
"To dreſs Veal à la Bourgoiſe"
Mutton dressed (or dreſsed) as Lamb doesn't get mentioned, probably because Mistress Glasse knew better, though that business of Mutton to eat (taste) like Venison is interesting.
It involves cutting the leg of mutton "in the shape of a Haunch of Veniſon" then steeping it in the sheep's blood "for five or six Hours" before wrapping it in layers of buttered paper and roasting it, basted frequently with butter or beef dripping.
Not quite mutton as lamb, but still mutton disguised as something more expensive...
