idk if you’ve done this before but headcanons for the boys when they’re jealous?? or what it takes to get them jealous???? i’ve been having jealous jackson BRAINROTTTT

Apparently I haven't done this before so lets see if I can get this correct... hopefully 😅

Miller's squad: how they get and what they do when they're jealous

! gender neutral pronouns !

John Miller:

doesn't really get jealous

perhaps if a younger person is flirting with you but that's about it

won't make a scene if he is

talks to you about it in private

probably admits he's a little jealous

Mike Horvath:

He disguises his jealousy with being "overprotective"

I don't think he gets that jealous either

maybe if someone in his friend group or anyone he's familiar with is flirting with you

if that ever happens, he'll take it personally

Daniel Jackson:

he's a confident guy

nobody really dares to flirt with you because how he gets

death starer

flips his knife in his hand or toy around with his gun when somebody starts to get to comfortable around you

whispers" do yourself a favor and stay the fuck away from my s/o"

pats the persons shoulder (hard) and gives a smile then walks away

leaving the person standing shocked and confused

Richard Reiben:

he's a big guy, probably one of the biggest in his unit

everybody knows how "aggressive" he can get and how fast for that matter

some people do dare though to flirt and be a little to touchy with you

and may the universe show them mercy because Reiben sure won't

grabs the person by the jaw, stares into their soul and half spits in their face "Touch or say ANYTHING to them again, I'll break your fucking jaw"

apologizes to you after if he gets to jealous.. even if he hates to admit it

Irwin Wade:

not really the jealous type

but sometimes it gets under his skin if the person touches you or say something promiscuous behind your back

if the person is hurt he'll passionately aggressively take care of them

like pulling the thread hard and poke them a bit aggressively with the needle if he's sewing up a wound

or aggressively twist and turn them with the excuse of "i'm just looking for bruises and wounds"

Stanley Mellish:

tbh, he gets jealous pretty fast

especially if he doesn't know that person

he's the king of insults so that's his tactic to fet them as far away from you and himself

" hey buddy, you look like a fucking testicle, so do everybody a favor and stay the fuck away from them"

waves them away with his hand like "shoo shoo, go away you pest" without batting them an eye

Timothy Upham:

doesn't really get jealous, more like.. insecure?

but he does stand up for what he doesn't like or agree with

talks to the person like a civil human being

" I don't appreciate you talking to my s/o so please stop"

when and IF it gets overboard though, lol yikes

WILL throw a few punches IF he has too

is surprisingly strong

Adrian Caparzo:

big guy 2.0

he's a confident guy as well so he doesn't feel like other people are a threat to him

he gets jealous like maybe two times half a year

blows smoke in the persons face and just says "leave" while staring at them until they eventually they do

and they do that pretty quickly

Not me waiting for sm1 to update😃

Jeremy Wade doesn’t have the same energy in his presentation as Steve Irwin did, but i think that talking about how horrifying lampreys are while literally having a lamprey attached to your neck drinking your blood is very much in the spirit of Steve Irwin.

wah... woke up thinking abt irwin

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

hey do you guys remember how I said that I was going to use patreon to write up content that would be WILDLY too long for tumblr? yeah. this is uuuuuh a little less than 6000 words about a bad Animal Planet series from 2008 that no one watched but me and my sister.

and here's part of the introduction under the cut for freebies, in case you want a little sample:

If you weren’t a painfully introverted animal fact kid in the early 2000s it’s almost impossible to explain the degree of sway that Animal Planet and its shows held over me as a child. Meerkat Manor, Animal Cops, The Most Extreme, The Little Zoo That Could, Prehistoric Planet, River Monsters, all of Steve Irwin’s work, and truly any and all non-serialized programming about any animal imaginable. I ate it all up, even the terribly boring half-hour programs like Backyard Habitat and Petfinder that they only played in the weird wee hours of the morning. 

Crucially, this programming is mostly of a nonfiction bent. Prehistoric Planet uses a framing device involving the use of time travel to bring extinct animals into the present to live in a zoo, but ultimately they’re trying to teach you some facts about some beasts, and while Meerkat Manor was definitely anthropomorphizing and editorializing the drama those meerkats experienced, it was at least rooted in the very real Kalahari Meerkat Project, which has been intensively documenting the behavior of meerkat mobs for many meerkat generations.

But then we get into the oddballs. In 2004 Animal Planet aired Dragons: A Fantasy Made Real, a British “docufiction” produced for Channel Four that sought to contextualize the nearly-global mythology of dragons in real history and biology, complete with CGI recreations of dragons in their “natural habitats.” That’s all fine and good; there’s nothing wrong with using a fake thing to teach people about real animals’ evolution and anatomy. The Loch Ness Monster episode of River Monsters is excellent for this, as you can tell that host Jeremy Wade (angler, freshwater detective, and criminally fuckable old man) doesn’t expect to find a monster literally at all and is just taking the opportunity to introduce his audience to animals they might not otherwise know about, including the noble Greenland shark. He pulls the same trick again in a later episode where he’s sent to discover the “truth” behind sea serpents and winds up diving in search of the elusive oarfish.

Dragons is… not doing that. Instead it offers up a framing device following a completely fictional paleontologists who “suggests the theory that a carbonized Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton on display was killed by a prehistoric dragon” (thanks, Wikipedia) and then has to go on a quest to save his career by proving that dragons totally existed and he’s not crazy. And he’s not! The piece ends with him discovering straight up for-real dragon bones in the Carpathian Mountains. If you were, say, an impressionably soft-brained 8 year old watching this, well holy shit. Congrats! It turns out dragons are real and nobody knows but you. 

Why did Animal Planet air this? God only knows, but it wouldn’t be the last time they dabbled in this shit. 2012 saw another piece by the same creator, Charlie Foley, called Mermaids: The Body Found which posited that various governments are holding merpeople captive and also relied on the infamously eugenicist aquatic ape theory to justify how merpeople could exist. The CGI on that one creeped me the fuck out, although I was at least old enough by then to recognize it wasn’t real.

Between those two docufictional farces, Animal Planet got a little freaky and rolled out some fake factual content of their own: three season of the TV show Lost Tapes (2008-2010, RIP), which purportedly showed “found footage” from incidents of humans having terrifying encounters with cryptids and fighting to escape with their lives. Interspersed with the fully fictional stories were segments of experts talking about folkloric history and speculating as to how creatures like Sasquatch and sea serpents could be real, which was an admirable effort to make it educational but often fell pretty short. There’s a werewolf episode where their expert weakly offers up that there are tons of transformations in nature, like caterpillars turning into butterflies. Notably that has absolutely nothing in common with a human turning rapidly into a wolfbeast and then shifting back, but they tried! They stopped trying as hard by season three, by which point they were throwing any and every beastie they could think of at the wall: there are episodes dedicated to zombies, a poltergeist, two different types of vampires, and the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl. 

Also straining belief was the dedication that some POV characters had to keeping their cameras rolling. I don’t blame the writers for that; it’s hard coming up with a fresh gimmick for “found footage” in every episode. Some of them, like characters wearing body cameras, are pretty smart; others, like a teenage girl continuing to film on her phone while being hunted by the Jersey devil, are not. They’re very much running on horror movie rules; the characters are as dumb as they need to be to make the plot go. To the show’s credit the dumdums are frequently punished, and it’s not uncommon for every single named character to end up dead at the hands (or claws, fangs, whatever) of the monster of the week. 

Needless to say, as a 12 year old I thought this was extremely edgy and cool. I was old enough to recognize that the so-called found footage was fake and that the acting was mostly very bad, but I liked cryptids and some of the show’s better episodes could still creep me right out. I think geeky 12 year olds who like to get a little freaked out on purpose are probably the ideal target demographic for this show, followed by nostalgic 20-somethings who have seen every episode several times.

(Hi, editor’s note: having completed this list it turns out there are WAY more episodes than I thought and I fully Do Not Recall some of them, so egg on my face.)

how bout our boys reactions when YOU get jealous of someone touchin on them????

Just so y'all know, this was very rushed lol sorry 😅

Miller's squad: their reaction to you getting jealous

! gender neutral pronouns !

John Miller: Finds it a bit ridiculous, doesn't really get why you would be get jealous when you know that you're the only one he'll ever truly love. But understands in some way, jealousy is a humanly emotions and it's okay to feel it.

Mike Horvath: laughs about it, he can't take you serious if you get jealous about that but he finds it cute. Kisses you in front of the person to make a statement that he's gladly taken.

Daniel Jackson: He finds it amusing that his person can get so territorial over him. Kisses you on the cheek and says "sorry, i'm taken" to show the other person that.. well, he is taken and then you two walk away. definitely teases you a bit after.

Richard Reiben: thinks "aww cute" and smirks to himself. Shrugs the person that touches him of and pulls you in his lap to make out with you (yes in front of the person lol) to ease your jealousy and show literally everyone that he is your, and your only.

Irwin Wade: he gets upset that you're upset. He pouts his lip in your direction when he sees you looking at him bitterly. Tries as nicely as he can to get away from the person to go to you.

Stanley Mellish: Same as Jackson, finds it extremely amusing. Probably would try to get you more jealous to see what you would do. Of course he wouldn't go over board it and if you bring up that you actually hates when he does that, he won't ever do it again.

Timothy Upham: Gets lowkey scared, hates to see you and others upset but he has to priorities your emotions. So, he slips away from the persons touch and half runs to you apologizing even though it's not really his fault.

Adrian Caparzo: tells the person right away that he's taken and that his partner (you, obviously) doesn't appreciate someone touching what's theirs. He teases you about it but he also tells you that he finds your jealousy kinda sexy.

[deegeeak]

Hot take: Jeremy Wade is the most unsung and introverted wild life show runner ever. Like, if he was yelling and jumping on animals he'd be as well known as Steve Irwin.

But because he's quiet, kind of introverted, deals with Fish and not fluffy animals, people bypass him.

We are talking the man whose TV show literally stopped because he caught every fish they'd thrown at him and a bunch they didn't plan for.
