I spent entirely too much time on this, but I really got going. I also probably missed a few people (and didn't even start on the crew because of so much overlap). I'm not sure if this is just Vancouver film industry at work or what, but I am done.

as i promised, i'm in your inbox asking about your easter eggs/inside jokes/references from your writing that you want to share! i love to share my own, and love to hear about other writers'.
and, in somewhat the same vein, what are some things you've included in your writing that are a private joke to yourself?
What is it with people turning my asks back on me lately 😉J/K I love it! I slip so many little bits like that in that I lose track myself, but here are some highlights:
For inside jokes, In “Charming” James sings Puff the Magic Dragon to get Anna back to sleep; this is the same song that I would sing to my kids when they were wee to do the same - and is the only song I can sing and not sound like a strangled cat. Also, in “She”, aside from the author insert with the British soldier (Gerry’s right that people from Pompey get a wee bit insulted if people think we come from ScumSouthampton), Mary and Gerry also share the same anniversary date as my wife and I (give or take 29 years).
From a wider perspective, “She” actually has a lot of little bits it - Inspector O'Hare mentioned in the news report is named after the inspector from Hope Street, a Northern Irish police procedural drama; Angela Rippon was one of the original presenters of Top Gear, which actually did air on the date the fic is set - and conveniently allowed me to do the Rippon/Ripping joke; Erin, ever the romantic but always unlucky, has her birthday the day before Valentine's day - missed it by this much… etc.
My favourite two jokes are when Shea and Sarah leave the pub to the strains of Anita Ward’s latest single, what was “Ring My Bell” - which is just what they were off to do, if you know what I mean… (*waggles eyebrows*) Also, there’s a Doctor Who reference when Orla tastes the blood - “Blood. Human blood. A positive… with just a dash of iron.”
I also quite like referencing the wider canon too - In “To Travel” James has a wee garden, as it's established in Erin's Diary that he's a talented gardener, and I thought he'd probably like to have a proper go at one when he had his own house. James saying “Right, OK, etc” when having a cack attack is a reference to him trying to use the computer in episode 1x06.
Oh, and referring to Erin’s “swishy” skirt in various places (especially "A Confederacy of Fathers). I snuck that in to tip the hat to another fanfic author, but I can’t for the life of me think who…

Planet of Dinosaurs (1977)
My rating: 6/10
Well, an attempt was made - there are some things resembling character arcs, and the Claymation dinosaurs, while hopelessly old-fashioned and more reminiscent of something from the 50s, are fun - but its success is somewhat hampered by everybody's complete inability to act. Still, pretty entertaining way of wasting a lazy Friday morning in the pandemic.

I go feral to anything with Hozier vibes so here are some additions
- The Haunted Windchimes (Out With The Crow is the best album to start at; May is perfect for cottagecore lesbians)
- Talisk (they're an entirely instrumental band but they go H A R D defintley recommend)
- BANKS (Banks is a lot more R&B vibes, but if you vibe with Florence and Hozier's will fight God energy, you'll Absolutely vibe with Banks. I firmly believe that she would kill god given the chance)
- Zara McFarlane (please ohmygod listen to her)
- Shea Diamond (PLEASE OHMYGOD LISTEN TO HER AMERICAN PIE G O E S also I Am Her??? Holy shit. H o l y s h i t)
- Of Monsters and Men (whatever forest God influenced Hozier went to Iceland. Their recent album Fever Dream has so much energy and always gets overlooked please please listen to it)
- The Amazing Devil (IF BANKS WOULD KILL GOD THEY WOULD REVIVE GOD JUST TO KILL HIM AGAIN.)
- The Paper Kites (looking for soft? Listen to Bloom. Looking for a very unnerving reminder of your own mortality while calling into question your morality in the same l y r i c? Listen to Willow Tree March)
- Elsa & Emilie (WOW THOSE LYRICS ARE UNNERVING OKAY. If Hozier represents the fae of the world Elsa & Emilie are out here stanning for the vampires Under The Blood Moon is something else)

• Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka
The Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka (櫻花, Ōka, "cherry blossom") was a purpose-built, rocket-powered human-guided kamikaze attack aircraft employed by Japan against Allied ships towards the end of the Pacific War during World War II.
The MXY-7 Navy Suicide Attacker Ohka was a manned flying bomb that was usually carried underneath a Mitsubishi G4M2e Model 24J "Betty" bomber to within range of its target. On release, the pilot would first glide towards the target and when close enough he would fire the Ohka's three solid-fuel rockets, one at a time or in unison, and fly the missile towards the ship that he intended to destroy. The design was conceived by Ensign Mitsuo Ohta of the 405th Kōkūtai, aided by students of the Aeronautical Research Institute at the University of Tokyo. Ohta submitted his plans to the Yokosuka research facility. The Imperial Japanese Navy decided the idea had merit and Yokosuka engineers of the Yokosuka Naval Air Technical Arsenal created formal blueprints for what was to be the MXY7. The only variant which saw service was the Model 11, and it was powered by three Type 4 Mark 1 Model 20 rockets. 155 Ohka Model 11s were built at Yokosuka, and another 600 were built at the Kasumigaura Naval Air Arsenal.
The final approach was difficult for a defender to stop because the aircraft gained high speed (650 km/h (400 mph) in level flight and 930 km/h (580 mph) or even 1,000 km/h (620 mph) in a dive. Later versions were designed to be launched from coastal air bases and caves, and even from submarines equipped with aircraft catapults, although none were actually used in this way. The Allen M. Sumner-class destroyer USS Mannert L. Abele was the first Allied ship to be sunk by Ohka aircraft, near Okinawa on April 12th, 1945. Over the course of the war, Ohkas sank or damaged three ships beyond repair, significantly damaged three more ships, with a total of seven U.S. ships damaged or sunk by Ohkas. The only operational Ohka was the Model 11. Essentially a 1,200-kilogram (2,600 lb) bomb with wooden wings, powered by three Type 4 Model 1 Mark 20 solid-fuel rocket motors, the Model 11 achieved great speed, but with limited range. This was problematic, as it required the slow, heavily laden mother aircraft to approach within 37 km (20 nmi; 23 mi) of the target, making them very vulnerable to defending fighters. There was one experimental variant of the Model 11, the Model 21, which had thin steel wings manufactured by Nakajima. It had the engine of the Model 11 and the airframe of the Model 22.
The Ohka K-1 was an unpowered trainer version with water ballast instead of warhead and engines, that was used to provide pilots with handling experience. Unlike the combat aircraft, it was also fitted with flaps and a landing skid. The water ballast was dumped before landing but it remained a challenging aircraft to fly, with a landing speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). Forty-five were built by Dai-Ichi Kaigun Koku Gijitsusho. The Model 22 was designed to overcome the short standoff distance problem by using a Campini-type motorjet engine, the Ishikawajima Tsu-11. This engine was successfully tested, and 50 Model 22 Ohkas were built at Yokosuka to accept this engine. The Model 22 was to be launched by the more agile Yokosuka P1Y3 Ginga "Frances" bomber, necessitating a shorter wing span and much smaller 600-kilogram (1,300 lb) warhead. The first flight of a Model 22 Ohka took place in June 1945; none appear to have been used operationally, and only approximately 20 of the experimental Tsu-11 engines are known to have been produced. The Model 33 was a larger version of the Model 22 powered by an Ishikawajima Ne-20 turbojet with an 800-kilogram (1,800 lb) warhead. The mothership was to be the Nakajima G8N Renzan. The Model 33 was cancelled due to the likelihood that the Renzan would not be available.
The Yokosuka MXY7 Ohka was used mostly against U.S. ships invading Okinawa, and if launched from its mothership, could be effective because of its high speed in the dive. In the first two attempts to transport the Ohkas to Leyte Gulf using aircraft carriers, the carriers Shinano and Unryu were sunk by the U.S. submarines Archerfish and Redfish. Attacks intensified in April 1945. On April 1st, 1945, six "Bettys" attacked the U.S. fleet off Okinawa. At least one made a successful attack; its Ohka was thought to have hit one of the 406 mm (16 in) turrets on the battleship West Virginia, causing moderate damage. Postwar analysis indicated that no hits were recorded and that a near-miss took place. The transports Alpine, Achernar, and Tyrrell were also hit by kamikaze aircraft, but it is unclear whether any of these were Ohkas from the other "Bettys". None of the "Bettys" returned. The U.S. military quickly realized the danger and concentrated on extending their "defensive rings" outward to intercept the "Betty"/Ohka combination aircraft before the suicide mission could be launched.
On April 12th, 1945, nine "Bettys" attacked the U.S. fleet off Okinawa. The destroyer Mannert L. Abele was hit, broke in two, and sank, witnessed by LSMR-189 CO James M. Stewart. Jeffers destroyed an Ohka with AA fire 45 m (50 yd) from the ship, but the resulting explosion was still powerful enough to cause extensive damage, forcing Jeffers to withdraw. The destroyer Stanly was attacked by two Ohkas. One struck above the waterline just behind the ship's bow, its charge passing completely through the hull and splashing into the sea, where it detonated underwater, causing little damage to the ship. On April 14th, 1945, seven "Bettys" attacked the U.S. fleet off Okinawa. None returned. None of the Ohkas appeared to have been launched. Two days later, six "Bettys" attacked the U.S. fleet off Okinawa. Two returned, but no Ohkas had hit their targets. Later, on April 28th, 1945, four "Bettys" attacked the U.S. fleet off Okinawa at night. One returned. No hits were recorded. May 1945 saw another series of attacks. On 4 May 1945, seven "Bettys" attacked the U.S. fleet off Okinawa. One Ohka hit the bridge of a destroyer, Shea, causing extensive damage and casualties. Gayety was also damaged by an Ohka's near miss. One "Betty" returned. On May 11th, 1945, four "Bettys" attacked the U.S. fleet off Okinawa. The destroyer Hugh W. Hadley was hit and suffered extensive damage and flooding. The vessel was judged beyond repair. On May 25th, 1945, 11 "Bettys" attacked the fleet off Okinawa. Bad weather forced most of the aircraft to turn back, and none of the others hit targets. On June 22nd, 1945, six "Bettys" attacked the fleet. Two returned, but no hits were recorded. Postwar analysis concluded that the Ohka's impact was negligible, since no U.S. Navy capital ships had been hit during the attacks because of the effective defensive tactics that were employed.
In total, of the 300 Ohka available for the Okinawa campaign, 74 actually undertook operations, of which 56 were either destroyed with their parent aircraft or in making attacks. The Allied nickname for the aircraft was "Baka", a Japanese word meaning "foolish" or "idiotic". Several surviving examples of the Ohka still exist.
