Victor Lundy, usually referred to as Vic for short, had met Aggie back when he’d been a mere senior Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officer. He’d worked relentlessly, usually on cases that had long since gone cold and had managed to solve quite a few of them. Now, years later, he was the Chief Constable in Lancashire. He was head of their department. 

He and Aggie had met in Morrisons while both were doing their weekly shopping. They reached for the Cookie Crisps at nearly the same time and a sweet conversation had ensued. Frothy coffee together came after, with a few pastries. Months later, they were going steady and happily dating. A year down the line and they were married. It all sounded very sweet, didn’t it? There was a catch, though, and one he hadn’t been expecting. 

Half a year into their marriage he discovered her rather big secret. He'd been such a fool to not have seen it sooner. Much like her father, and most likely because of him, with such a legacy and his “impromptu” death, she had come to inherit his business. It wasn’t a run of the mill business, either. She was the mob boss. He was married to the fucking leader in their area. A cop and a gangster were bloody married. There were no way out for either of them. They loved each other. He gave her comfort, she gave him love. The sex was incredible. Their lives together were good.

They had to play the game, both of them. Cat and mouse. Always one-upping the other, never quite catching the other one. Never hurting each other and making it look fucking good, too, and all that jazz that came along with hiding such a monumental secret. No one knew. No one would ever discover the truth.

Sat across the table from Aggie now, both of them eating cereal for breakfast, he casually asked, “Any plans for today? We’re working on a massive case. That strangler, we think we finally have him in custody.”

Neil on his RP (Received Pronunciation) accent! The Brummie accent has been voted as "the worst accent in the uk", and Neil has previously stated he ditched it "at about the age of 7" which is hilarious to me considering his twin has kept it!

The first step to turning British is liking tea more than coffee

The next step is having exclusively British content creators in your YouTube home page

Next thing you know you go "pip pip cheerio and all that rot" and start saying "bo'le of wo'er"

Once you reach the point of calling cookies "biscuits" you're past the point of return. Good luck.

The absolute one-two punch of a woman coming up to you and speaking with an extremely thick cockney accent, and then her adult son behind her opening his mouth and having a perfectly normal American one.

blinks at some of the asks /lh

But waves hi “British” anon here what are some of yer favorite headcanons you have of mark? :]c

OOC

wringing my hands together evilly

Honestly I haven't given him a ton but he has a few !!

(don't ask for further explanations on these because i could NOT tell you what compelled me to think of half of them)

— REALLY allergic to cats (and cat adjacent things) nonstop coughing sneezing dying fits when drretro, jermbo, or gnarpy enter the elevator

— not the best at picking up social cues and can't for the life of him comfort people (he tries but rarely succeeds)

— since he likes weird al i also have the feeling that he'd enjoy oingo boingo (im projecting 😞)

— despite canonically being 5'9, im convinced he's short (like 5'4 - 5'5 maybe) I think this is purely because he reminds me of engineer tf2 and that guy's SHORT

— speaking of engineer tf2, that's his voice claim in my mind,,, I love you, insane country men

— forklift certified 🫡

Hammerlock & Their Views on Dragons

Old Hammerlocke Galarian views on Pokemon are so interesting to me. While many cultures of Galar viewed Pokemon as a part of nature and something to live side-by-side with, Hammerlocke Galarians believed that they were above pokemon; that they were something to be controlled. It's the entire reason they used pokeballs.

In the Hammerlocke Empire, killing a dragon was seen as the highest honor a knight could receive. Combine this with the fact they were living in a kingdom that saw themselves above pokemon. A lot of it adds up. Many knights would go out of their way to actively hunt dragons, which, in turn, would make dragon types more defensive and weary of humans. These dragons would now become defensive or aggressive to any human they saw, which would give the Hammerlocme Empire more reasons to hunt them. Pokemon like Dragapult and Noiverm were greatly affected by overhunting, and their populations still haven't fully recovered. Salamence in Galar went completely extinct, and pokemon that were hunted by dragons would now be overpopulated and eat all the crops, leaving nothing left for the other pokemon.

Anyways, the defensiveness of dragons over the centuries would end up leading to Hammerlocke Galarians being weary of all pokemon that wasn't a Wooloo or a Purrloin or anything like that. It's why Hammerlocke has an entire wall around it; to keep pokemon out. And while the dragon head today is used a symbol letting people know that Hammerlocke is "The Dragon Capitol of Galar," it's original purpose was meant to scare dragons off.

It's difficult to explain Old Hammerlocke's views on other pokemon, other than "We are above them and they need to be controlled." That's pretty much the gist of it. That belief has died out a lot today, but their old worldview definitely affected Galar's history.

(I have just realized I've been spelling Hammerlocke wrong this entire time. I'll fix that later)

[waugh-bao]

I found a little gem of a video on dailymotion. "Equidia chez Charlie Watts des Rolling Stones"

I think its the first time I've seen anything where Charlie and Shirley are talking to one another, at least audibly. It is wonderfully cute.

This is so lovely! I saw a version of it years ago, but it was much shorter and the quality was so poor that I never bothered to post or gif it. It’s a shame we don’t have more footage of them interacting because they’re exactly as funny and cute as one would expect. (Also, sorry about how the thumbnail looks. If you click on the video to play that header and the control buttons will disappear after a few seconds, there was just no way for me to screen capture the first bit of the video without them).

Also, I’m not a dog person, but I love the Wattses rescue dogs. Especially this girl who is so emo about her mum and dad not paying 100% attention to her.
