i find it funny how from the beginning i had a negative attitude towards season 4 before it came out, from the news that it was the last season with 6 episodes to how the characters looked in the first pics during filming (it felt like I wasn't watching tua but the new season of brassic lmao). my friends either had the same opinion or had high expectations for this season. And then season 4 happens, which i and maybe 3-4 people i talk to like it more than s3 (but it can't beat s1 for me. sorry s2-everyone's-favorite you're not my fav)

maybe it's because i lowered my expectations and started to accept that i might be one of the first people to lose interest in tua after the end. but i'm even glad that i got a little weird fanservice at the end in the form of a new and unexpected ship, which is basically what keeps me going now.

At least quarterly, I'm reminded that I really should learn to pick locks... how do you feel about lock picking, P?

Please rate the 141 members (and whichever other COD peeps you'd like to include) from best to worst lockpickers. I'd rate them as follows:

1. Soap

2. Ghost

3. Price

4. Gaz

hiya 💚💚!

i LOVE watching the lockpick guy on tiktok that doesn't so much pick the locks but smashes them together so they spring open!

i do think it's an oddly helpful skill but for the three (3) occasions i've been locked in/out of places i've needed to be out/in, i've never picked the lock. (i have climbed onto a flat roof and shimmied in through an upstairs window, taken hinges off a door, and taken an entire door handle apart though!)

as for best to worst lockpickers i'm gonna say it goes: 1. ghost 2. soap 3. gaz 4. price

let me explain under the cut for you!

so i headcanon ghost to have come from a dead rough, working class, council house background. and i headcanon his dad to be a petty thief with multiple ABH charges and drunk and disorderly charges. if there was one thing simon could count on, it was the fact that his dad was constantly in and out of prison throughout his young life.

(and listen, i'm working class. i live in a council house so i'm not saying that everyone who is working class or lives in a council house is a thief or a criminal or anything like that - in fact we're unfairly portrayed that way and stigmatised because so many of us are living below the poverty line on the state benefits/universal credit system and classism is a nasty thing that has very strong roots still.)

what i am saying is that ghost learned to pick locks at 13 because his dad was breathing down his neck. riley sr. definitely didn't give a shit about using young simon for his own ends because in his head if simon got caught, charged, and sentenced he'd have a far more lenient time of it than riley sr. would. (if you've ever watched brassic or ted lasso, i very much think simon's dad is like vinnie's dad (from brassic) or jamie's dad (from ted lasso)) as a result, simon learned to pick locks young and kept the skill fresh because it does come in useful for his job.

so we know that soap canonically locked an MP in his vehicle. yes, we could assume that soap knocked the MP unconscious, took the keys to unlock the vehicle, stuffed the MP in the vehicle, and then locked them in. HOWEVER i think it's much more fun to imagine soap hitting the MP, being a little bit buzzed off his rage and the adrenaline, breaking into the car and stuffing the MP in there and then disabling the central locking system so the car is stuck locked up.

soap's got the necessary dexterity for lockpicking (c'mon, he's the explosives guy!) AND he's got the patience to do it (an impatient sniper is a bad sniper), i just think ghost is ever so slightly better because he learned to lockpick younger and has used the skills more often than soap.

gaz is third because it hurts my heart to have gaz be bad at anything. i like to think that ghost was the one to teach gaz to lockpick. perhaps over the course of a few dreary evenings on base when gaz wasn't up for going to the pub with soap and price was bogged down with paperwork. he was probably mindlessly flicking through the channels on the telly in the rec room when ghost dumped a locked padlock and a set of picks on gaz's lap (nailing him in the balls in the process) and told gaz to crack the lock (when gaz's eyes finally stopped watering and he could breathe without wanting to hork up a lung, ghost was a surprisingly patient teacher).

gaz has got a rough idea of what to do thanks to ghost's lessons but honestly it's more likely that he'll charm his way behind a locked door, or failing that, find a way around the obstacle/clear the area like we saw in recon by fire.

price is the worst at lockpicking. yes, he has the skill. no, he doesn't have the patience. give that man a demolition bar, he'll show you how to "lockpick".

Thanks for tagging me @cedarxwing I’m so excited for that fic you’re writing! (꒪ꇴ꒪|||)

The sound of the bells would reverberate across the Harlem River from Our Lady of Mount Carmel. The first few months at the psychiatric center were hellish as he couldn’t stand the ringing. Eventually it became a familiar and even welcomed call, like an old friend coming to visit him everyday.

Ramon Tikaram as Terence McCann in Brassic, season 3

part 3

[not-a-cheese-thief]

The new trailer for Ted Lasso season 3 and all the speculation that goes with it about who may or may not end up coming out (or just being queer) has me going kind of crazy. I’ve been on this hell-site for so many years on and off, I’ve seen all the queer baiting, all the desperate hoping and tricking yourself into the belief that this little thing might be a sign. I hyper-fixate on shows, especially on the queer-coded characters, and I long for good queer representation. I’ve been through all of this longing and hoping before, and I’m just getting so sick of it.

Whenever I talk to a het person about Ted Lasso and its lack of any queer characters, they either say “there’s not any yet, there’s another season still to come,” or “one of them might be gay, you don’t know.” Neither of these things are good enough. Neither sentiment makes me think “Yeah, that’ll probably be good enough.” For one thing, we’re two seasons in. If you’re two seasons into a show that is clearly conscious of some forms of diversity, but can’t manage to acknowledge the existence of queerness beyond a slur that was used in the first two minutes, and the occasional joke (usually used to make a female character seem more sexy/intriguing), then can there really be much hope for real, honest queer representation and storytelling in the third and final season?

Will they really get round to the very important question of how homophobia fits into the the toxic masculinity locker room culture that Ted first walked into, and how that affected and continues to affect the mental health of those within it? Will they really tell this (or any) story from the point of view of a queer person, and with the care and nuance it deserves? They’ve had poc characters from the start, but even their storytelling of these characters has been controversial and from many people’s perspectives, problematic. 

I know the history of queer television, I know why queer coding became a powerful way of telling only the people in the know “hey, I see you”. But we’ve moved beyond that, and in a TV show like Ted Lasso, where it so clearly aims to  tell a diverse range of stories, from an accepting and curious point of view, the lack of actual, truely represented, honest queerness is jarring. I’m sick of being presented with crumbs, with jokes that anyone who’s not queer wouldn’t even notice, and being treated like it’s a gift.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Ted Lasso, I love all my Richmond himbos and my darling Keeley. I’ll watch season 3 and I’ll obsess. I’ll keep all my little headcanons. But I just can’t stand all this trying to trick myself into believing we’ll actually get a queer storyline, especially not for a main character. I’ve been there before and it hurts. We deserve better. So I’m including a little list, for the darlings who have actually read this whole post, of my current fav shows with actual queer characters and stories, so that while we deal with all this Ted Lasso anxiety, we can also have some comfort LGBTQIA+ tv too. Please add your favourites too.

Brassic:

I have to put this first even though it’s not necessarily the gayest, because I think anyone and everyone who watches Ted Lasso should watch Brassic. Joe Gilgun co-created the show and stars as the main character Vinnie, and while his diagnosis has changed since the show’s beginning (he’s now discovered he has bpd, not bipolar) the show’s depiction of Vinnie as man living with bipolar disorder is phenomenal. As is the way it introduces and tells the stories of its queer characters; most notably Ash, a gay man from a traditional Irish traveller family, who has my heart (but actually there are very few main characters who I'm convinced are really, totally straight). 

There's a moment in the show when Vinnie encounters some ‘casual’ homophobia, and even though he’s not with anyone queer, even though he doesn’t know the person who said it, and he’s got shit he really has to get on with, he has to call it out. It’s a little moment, in a show with a lot more very gay scenes and storylines, but it’s the kind of thing that just feels so important. Brassic is chaotic and crude and probably too much for a lot of people, but it’s loving too. 

9-1-1: Lone Star:

This one might not be the same high quality television as the others; it’s a first responder drama that tends towards the soapy, but god, I love it. I love the way they write their queer characters, I love the way they write the friendships between them, and the ways that most of the characters are some kind of minority and use their shared experiences of being marginalised and discriminated against to support and be there for each other. 

It's also worth noting that Brian Michael Smith, who plays Paul, a trans man, is the first black trans man to be a series regular on American tv, and that queer actors Ronen Rubinstein and Rafael Silva, who play lovers on the show, were recently on the cover of Out magazine, and are both activists in the queer community. 

Sense8:

It’s so wonderfully, beautifully queer. It’s a scifi, made by the Wachowski sisters, that’s a kind of love letter to the LGBT+ community. I don't think any of the main characters are meant to be straight, it’s all so very, very queer. Please do watch it, just, not with your mum you know.

Our Flag Means Death:

Gay pirates. Non-binary pirates. New Zealand accents on characters that are definitely not meant to be from New Zealand. What more could you want?

Vico Ortiz, who is non-binary, apparently cried when they read the script because the writers (three of whom are also non-binary) had taken such care to create space for the non-binary character, Jim. You can honestly feel that care when watching the show.

The Last of Us:

I’m sorry. I’m not a gamer and don’t know anything about the game, but every time I yell at my gamer friend who made me watch the show for making me watch it, they just laugh knowingly and say it's only getting worse. So I’m sorry, but yeah, you should still watch it.
