Writing fic for SVU

Ok so I’m trying to suss out some info on Liv and Elliot so I can get the dates on various events right. (I’m gonna say ish about things because I don’t have the patience to keep track of months)

According to the fandom wiki Elliot was born Oct 20th 1966, which would make him 30ish when he meets Liv in 1998. He would currently be 57ish. Liv was born Feb 7th 1968, making her approximately a year and a half younger than Elliot. She would also be 29ish when she meets him in 1998 and currently be 56ish.

Liv went to Sienna College and Elliot went to Queens College. In “Sophomore Jinx” Elliot makes a somewhat strange comment about always wanting to go to a four-year college. Liv rebuts that saying he went to Queens and he says that he commuted and took classes at night. So, does that mean he still has a Bachelor’s degree he just didn’t have a typical college experience? Or does it mean he has an Associate’s degree in a kind of community college night school program? Liv appears to have a regular Bachelor’s.

Not to mention, what are their degrees in? Some police academies require criminal justice degrees but some don’t. Police academy itself is usually only 5 months on average (and wasn’t that disturbing to find out).

From here the dates get a little wonky too. Elliot was 17 in 1984 which means he’d have joined the Marines around the same time. Marine boot camp is 13 weeks and assuming he didn’t have to wait too long to get deployed, he’d be deployed around 1985. Again this gets weird because Elliot is said to have served in Desert Storm but that didn’t start until 1991. Even Desert Shield, the operation that came before it, only started in 1990. And yet Elliot is listed to have been a police officer since 1986. Which would mean that he was only in the marines for a year and change and also that he couldn’t have been part of Desert Storm. He also apparently became a detective in 1989, which wouldn’t work if he was in Desert Storm but would work if he wasn’t. He’s only ever been associated with the 16th precinct, which would mean he requested SVU right off the bat, same as Olivia.

The other question here is when did he have time to go to college? If he commuted, as he said, he must have not been deployed which means he must have been in New York around 1986. And how did he pay for it? The GI Bill expired a decade before he was born, and at this point he’d have one if not two kids.

And another thing, the minimum term of service for a Marine is four years but you have to serve six to get an honorable discharge. If Elliot did indeed serve in Desert Storm (joining up around 1984 and serving through 1991) this would qualify him, but when would he have time for college or being a police officer? You can leave the Marines early but there are tons of conditions and you will often be paid less and potentially in debt to the government.

Elliot also claims in season two to have been on the force for 14 years, meaning since 1986. Ok, that makes sense with his timeline, but is confusing with regard to his military service and college degree. He also claims in car the with Liv during their convo about PTSD to have been a police officer for 35 years. Is he counting his ten years being gone? Because when he left he only had about 25 years. Did he immediately go into private security or his organized crime task force in Rome? I feel like Kathy wouldn’t let him.

tl;dr Elliot’s timeline doesn’t make sense

Now for my confusion around Liv. Assuming she went to college around 18 like most and got a four year degree, she’d graduate around 1990. Liv joined the police force in 1992 with the 55th precinct, but stayed only a year (why?) before being a uni at the 16th from 1993-1998. This doesn’t make a ton of sense because most officers are in uniform for around three years, why was Liv in uniform for six? And if we’re counting that now means that Liv has been a police officer for 32ish years.

I’m also confused about the definition of precinct here. This might be a NYC thing, but if Liv was a uni for the 16th precinct, does that mean she worked in the same building that SVU is in? Just on a different floor maybe? If that’s true, does she have friends who are unis in the early seasons? Or did Liv work at some other station still within the 16th precinct area? Is there more than one station in a precinct?

Tangentially related, Sienna is a private, religious college, I’ve seen a lot of theories about Liv having money and we’ve never really delved into it. I think Serena mentioned her parents cutting her off for having Liv at some point but then how are they still sort of rich? Are they no-contact but just send money? How much did Liv have to lie to pass with the more religious students? Did she get bullied for the “sin of her birth” etc?

Another tangent: apparently Liv gets assaulted at least once per season (unclear whether this is sexually or physically) but hasn’t been shot until season 24. Stinks of some brand of sexism to me.

Also mandatory retirement is 63 so Liv and El are getting close.

tl;dr Liv’s timeline makes a little more sense but raises a lot of questions.

If anyone has any answers or info that will help clarify this post please let me know, I’m quite befuddled.

Charro's 55th Anniversary

Despite coming out in March of 69, Charro! actually began filming in July of 1968. This is the only Elvis film made by NGP and of course another oddity is that Elvis does not sing on screen.

The production history is quite interesting as it has a novelization that was even grittier than the final product. This is because the original script was meant to be gritty. The director however didn't like the violence and sexual nature and a lot of it was toned down much to Elvis' disappointment. The novelization was then written to reflect the original script.

Shout out to @xanatenshi since I know you love Jess Wade. Can't wait to watch it with you again.

Happy 55th wedding anniversary to King Harald V and Queen Sonja of Norway!

The couple tied the knot on 29 August 1968 at Oslo Cathedral, after nine years of dating. Harald and Sonja met in June 1959 at a party hosted by Johan H. Stenersen. They kept their relationship a secret because she was a commoner. The then Crown Prince Harald made it clear to his father, King Olav V, that he would remain unmarried for life unless he could marry her, thus putting an end to the rule of his family, and likely to the monarchy in Norway, as Harald was the sole heir to the throne.

The couple became engaged on on 19 March 1968. They have two children together - Princess Martha Louise (51) and Crown Prince Haakon (50) and 5 grandchildren.
