No format, because my brain is ROTTING. Derek Dandorth headcanons or character essay? Uhhh, I think so!

I honestly kind of deepened his whole character, lol. Sorry but I can't help myself. I promise I'm working on a fic rn !!

Some quick warnings are mentions of childhood trauma and such!

✦ Derek Danforth, someone who craves attention and emotional intimacy more than anything — while his relationships may be minor in numbers, he holds them dearly. His competitive nature, self loathing and lack of social skills (+ him being a bit of a loser) contributes greatly to his behavior. Most of the time, he wallflowers at a party or scrolls through social media.

✦ He challenges people who succeed much better than him. Derek has always been fighting for someone to see him, even if it's just mindless praise. Derek devotes so much of his time to appear better and he lives off the dopamine of people liking him. Derek doesn't seem to fit in with others and isn't as popular as most assume.

✦ Enjoys time consuming activities, such as his morning routine. I think he'd like writing as well. Just anything to kill time, he'll do.

✦ So sassy. Yes, he is very awkward — but Derek is incredibly charismatic and smiley when he's in his field. Anytime Derek is in uncomfortable places, he goes dead quiet. It's really just instinct to kind of go on autopilot when he isn't contributing anything. But yeah, he's a drama queen with a huge attitude.

✦ Probably has the most wildest music taste, or taste in general. I mean, have you seen his outfits?

✦ Very needy and clingy. In all his relationships, he's overly affectionate, sweet and chases any positive reactions. Constantly calling to check in on them, send in gifts or shower them in compliments. He's a hopeless romantic.

✦ Speaking of romantic, he's definitely crazy over the genre. He's so lovesick he probably has a shelf filled with books from the romance genre.

✦ Derek enjoys when people play with his hair, or share soft intimacy. Hugs that last too long, cuddling under the covers or talking nonstop — drives him crazy.

✦ Rambles about wine. I don't think he'd drink it too much but he'd definitely have a heavy preference and drop his opinions no matter what.

Bro I NEED to stop shipping random crack ships. First it started with securitywaiter/dreamtheory and then it was lockjaw then it was icebaby and now it’s Derek and Garnett from The Beekeeper (still haven’t come up with a ship name for them yet) I’m sorry crack ships are just more fun than mainstream ships

[babynames-statistics]

Most popular gender neutral names

Every year, the SSA, in the US, publishes data on baby names. The names are divided into 'male' and 'female', and people can look up to see how many male and female babies were given a certain name in a given year.

This is a list of the most popular gender neutral names - the names given to most babies within the criteria of 45/55 - meaning the % of either male or female babies with that name must fall between 45 and 55 % of the total.

There are plans to expand the criteria to 30/70 % in order to look at names that are more popular but that are also still fairly gender neutral.

Some of the names are only given to a few babies in a year. Using data from SSA, we apply a cut-off of at least 10 female and male babies per year, to make the data more meaningful.

In another post, here, we explore the gender neutral names that are closest to 50/50.

Note: The years are not the whole decades, they are only for that particular year.

The lists are read as follows: Name (female %, male %), number of babies in total being given that name.

We exclude "Baby", "Notnamed", "Unknown", and "Infant", as those are assumed to be placeholder names.

Written by Christine Foster Directed by William Fruet

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Open in 1984, a huge house at night and a car pulls up. A man, Michael Eng, rushes inside looking for his wife, who was admitted. He hands the keys to his car to one annoying nurse and learns his wife is in labor. The doctor comes out and tells him his wife asked for him to not join her, even though we see her calling his name. Dr. Oakwood tells him there is plenty of time. She gives him a candle and tells him to place it at the base of a mighty oak tree. Michael is tired of their mumbo jumbo, but Oakwood reminds him her methods made this baby happen. He takes the candle is is shown where to go.

Michael follows the path outside, under the full moon. At oak he finds an altar and places the candle. A crow caws, the wind blows and the ground shakes. Suddenly a root wraps around his neck and he is pulled down into the earth. We see a strange wooden idol in the tree.

In the delivery room, his wife Jennifer has delivered a baby, a boy which Oakwood hands to the mother. When Jennifer asks about the twin, a girl, she's told the child was stillborn. She is adamant she heard the girl crying, so they sedate her. Upstairs, Oakwood and some nurses have a nursery set up and string vines of leaves about. Oakwood shows off the baby girl they call Sheila, and call her their first prophetess of many, hoping to bring back the Druid people.

Cut to credits.

Present day, a couple is shopping for a cradle and a baby doll for the nursery for their soon-to-be-born child. Seems they have tried for 13 years to conceive, and then met Dr. Oakwood, the husband is not a fan of Oakwood's naturalistic methods, and the wife jokingly scolds him.

At Oakwood's hospital, many expecting parents wait to be seen. Upstairs, we see the nursery is now home to many small children, all girls. They are taught lessons of the forest and nature. We also see Sheila, now a small child. Oakwood watches happily.

Johnny is buying a hot dog from a cart when a fight breaks out between a woman and a newspaper vendor, as she tries to steal a magazine and rants about a woman stealing her baby. Johnny breaks it up and pays for the magazine. We see the woman is Jennifer Eng, and the magazine has Oakwood on the cover, an article about her amazing method to help infertile women conceive.

Johnny buys Jennifer a coffee and they sit on a bench as she tells him about Oakwood's spells. Johnny asks if he can call her husband, but she thinks he abandoned her. And their son Scotty died the previous year. Jennifer is afraid to go there, but asks if Johnny would, and shows him a picture of her son, believing he could recognize her daughter, since the kids were twins. Johnny is unsure, but she asks for help.

At Curious Goods, he's told the story to Micki and Jack. In the article, it says Oakwood has a 98% rate of success. Johnny thinks they should check it out, but jack doesn't find her name in the Manifest. Micki says the couple they saw did say Oakwood works miracles. Johnny leaves, having promise Jennifer he'd help. Micki leaves to ask if the couple who shopped there might also be expecting twins.

Oakwood and her nurses are at the oak tree that night performing a ritual in white robes. They cut off one of the strange growths, then take turns drinking from a skull. They believe the oak will soon bear fruit, one for each nurse to take and grow their own tree, spreading their Druidic cult far and wide.

Johnny arrives nearby and sneaks to a window. He sees a man waiting, who is sent to bring a candle to the oak. Johnny climbs an emergency ladder to the roof and sees all the children in the attic nursery. Holding the photo, he sees Sheila and her resemblance to her brother Scotty. A nurse comes in to send them to bed, pulling the curtain. Johnny goes back down as the expectant father places the candle and is pulled into the ground. Johnny hears his scream but arrives too late. A flower on the tree opens and we see a small idol inside.

At the store the next day, Johnny asks them to explain the kids. Micki says maybe they belong to the nurses, and Jack says maybe the scream he heard was from an animal, and Johnny is reading too much into it. But he can't let it go. He says he will wait until dark to go back, but he believes Jennifer.

That night, him and Micki go to the hospital and find the lights out. In the woods, the cult and the children are performing a ritual in anticipation of the also-present Sanderson couple's upcoming delivery. Johnny and Micki go to the room, and see no kids inside. He opens the window to enter and Micki tries to stop him. But in he goes.

Johnny and Micki go downstairs to snoop around. They go to Oakwood's office. In the woods, the ritual goes on. Johnny can't find a file for the Eng couple. Micki sees a fire in the woods, so they go to investigate, but Johnny also grabs some files. They make their way to the woods, and watch as the Sandersons drink from a cup as the group chants.

Back at Curious Goods, they fill Jack in on what they saw. Micki is creeped out by the language, and Jack speaks Gaelic, which Micki says was the same. Jack tells them about Celts and Druids and what an oak tree means to them. He is worried a cursed item must somehow be involved.

Next day, they are still looking at the files. Seems all have the same things in common, such as all having boy children and many husbands abandoning them and vanishing. Jack finds a fertility statue made of black Irish oak in the Manifest. The god supposedly gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, from his forehead. Lewis sold it to a Dr. Frederick Cornwall.

Oakwood examines Mrs. Sanderson, who seems to think she feels two sets of feet. Oakwood laughs it off, later telling a nurse they will give her enough meds that she won't remember how many kids she had. A nurse comes in saying the tree is blooming but the fruit isn't ripening. Seems every twelfth husband is enough to feed the tree for a year, but to reproduce, they need another sacrifice. Seems like Mr. Sanderson will be their victim.

Micki is talking to Dr. Cornwall, who says he donated the statue to a charity. Micki asks if Oakwood could have gotten it. He knows Oakwood, he can asks. He's a pediatrician and she refers patients. He also has explanations for why her results produce all boys, and that fathers may leave due to the stress of trying to conceive for so long. Micki isn't so sure.

Jennifer Eng calls Johnny, who says he has investigated and he doesn't want to get her hopes up, but her daughter might be there. Jennifer only hears that and takes off. Micki comes in and tells them about her meeting with Cornwall. Jack tells them about his research, that all the Druid priest were women, as is the entire staff of Oakwood's hospital. Johnny speculates the missing fathers were sacrifices. Jack thinks the sacrifices are tied to the full moon and nature, and Micki says this weekend is both a full moon and the winter solstice.

The girls are in their nursery, Shelia telling the nurse about a dream about her father, who told her he was dead. The nurse reminds her they have told them all their parents live in foreign countries. Jennifer Eng comes in saying that is a lie, telling Shelia she is her mother. Other nurses come in an stop her. Oakwood tells her she will be the guest of honor at the sacrifice of fire tonight.

Oakwood has Jennifer tied up and nurses making a casket out of wood and straw. One nurse, Morgan, is upset that they plan to sacrifice a woman, but Oakwood says this is different, that the burning will ripen the fruit of the tree and any sacrifice is acceptable. Morgan is still unsure, but Oakwood tries to assuage her. Then the Sandersons arrive, in labor.

At the store, Johnny wonders where Jennifer went to, and Micki can't get ahold of the Sandersons. Jack says they will head out to the hospital to take a look.

Oakwood sends Mr. Sanderson out of the delivery room, telling him all is going well.

Jack sends Johnny to check the nursery, and him and Micki go to snoop around. A nurse gives Mr. Sanderson a candle and tells him to head to the oak tree. He is reluctant, but does as told. Mrs. Sanderson is having a rough labor and doesn't want drugs but Oakwood knocks her out anyway.

Micki and Jack slip inside and hide. exploring a room. Micki sees a chest from the ceremony, with the skull inside, but not statue. On the roof, Johnny is about to enter the window, but sees Mr. Sanderson heading to the oak and goes to follow. Sanderson puts the candle on the altar, the wind blows and ground shakes. As he is dragged, Johnny tries to save him but gets pulled into the ground himself. The earth seals back up.

Micki and Jack hear the cry of the first Sanderson baby and Micki goes to investigate. Jack sees the cult in their robes with torches and the casket outside, but before he can react, Morgan puts a cloth over his face and knocks him out.

Micki goes up and finds the nursery full of children. She asks if they saw a strange woman, and Shelia asks if she means the woman who said she was her mother? Micki says yes.

Morgan and Oakwood decide to sacrifice Jack instead of Jennifer, ensuring the tree bears fruit.

Under the tree, Johnny struggles with the writhing roots.

Oakwood and a nurse hook Jennifer up to kill her by slowly drawing all the blood from her body.

Micki asks is Shelia knows where they took the woman, but she doesn't. Micki asks if Shelia will help her find the woman, cause she is her mother. They leave as a nurse comes in with the new baby.

The women proceed to the oak with their torches and Jack in the coffin. Johnny continues to struggle to get free from the ground.

Micki and Shelia look for Jack and Jennifer. Shelia says they must have gone to the tree. Micki finds a sleeping Mrs. Sanderson, but leaves her.

Johnny hears Mr. Sanderson calling for help. He also finds skeletons of previous dead fathers.

The tree's flowers keep opening as Jack in the casket is raised into the tree.

Micki finds Jennifer and goes to help her.

Johnny finds Mr. Sanderson but the tree fights him.

Micki tells the reunited Jennifer and Shelia to get out of there and goes to find Johnny and Jack.

Johnny frees Mr. Sanderson and together they look for a way out as the cult chants above them. Jack spins around, helpless. Johnny finds the original statue in the trees roots and begins cutting it free.

Above, the tree sounds like it is screaming and Oakwood watches in horror as one by one, the flowers fall off. A lightning storm starts and the cult realizes the tree is dying. Johnny keeps cutting and eventually gets the statue free. The casket with Jack inside falls to the ground, lightning strikes the tree and more and flowers with mini idols inside fall to the ground. The cult rushes around in a panic, Oakwood unable to stop them from fleeing. Micki arrives and frees Jack as Johnny and Mr. Sanderson emerge from the ground. Oakwood tries to gather up the seedlings, but lightning strikes the tree and a huge limb falls on her, killing her. Jack and all back off from the tree as more lightning strikes, destroying the tree completely. Jack takes the statue from Johnny and tells him and Micki to gather all the seedlings, and not to miss any. He leads Mr. Sanderson back to the hospital.

That morning at the store, Jack apologizes to Johnny for not listening to him earlier. If he had, maybe the statue wouldn't have replicated so many copies of itself. But Micki reminds him that Jennifer has her daughter back and the Sandersons have both of their children. As Jack goes to put the mini idols in the vault with the rest, Johnny says they should look for another cradle for the Sandersons, a twin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My thoughts:

Quite a different episode, delving into the Celts and Druidic religion and even the hope people have to have a child of their own.

Since I assume inspections must have to happen at Oakwood's hospital, no one ever found the nursery or all the children? Or wonder why so many husbands vanished without a trace? Never an investigation or anything? Oakwood is famous enough to be on a magazine, but not looked into too deeply.

Johnny is a good guy, helping Jennifer and thee listening to her story, but wow, Jennifer jumps right into asking a stranger for a huge favor! Break in and find my daughter!

Micki says the upcoming weekend is the winter solstice. In 1989, that was on December 21st and in 1990, that happened on December 22nd. This episode aired on May 19, 1990. Hmmm…

Is this the first time a cursed item had the ability to replicate mini versions of itself? And what a terrorizing thought. I wonder how many mini idols they ended up finding. And hopefully didn't miss any in the confusion.

What a story the news must have had with the aftermath, and all the kids found living in the attic. Lots of surprised parents, for sure. Wonder if Jack and crew had some strange questions to answer.

Next week: The Charnel Pit

Brenda Lee and Peter Tork at Lee’s 1966 New Year’s Eve masquerade party. Photo 2 (and 1, too?) by Ric Klein.

New Year's Eve 1966:

“Every year for several years we threw a big masquerade party in December. […] We always had great entertainment, too. One year it was Gale Garnett singing her hit ‘We’ll Sing in the Sunshine.’ Another time it was Jewel Akens, who sang ‘The Birds and the Bees.’ My favorite was the time we booked the Monkees. They were the most popular group in America at the time, with hits like ‘I’m a Believer,’ ‘Last Train to Clarksville’ and ‘Daydream Believer.’ Needless to say, the Monkees were ‘fave raves’ in 16 Magazine. And since editor Gloria Stavers had long been my buddy, the gala got a photo spread in the teen magazine. After I sang with the group, I posed happily with Monkees Peter Tork and Davy Jones. Since I was a clown that year, my cheeks were dotted with red circles, and I was wearing a puffy ruffle around my neck.” - Brenda Lee, Little Miss Dynamite: The Life and Times of Brenda Lee (2002)

“[Lee] held it [the party] in the warehouse of her husband’s electrical store and everyone came in costume. We wore the clothes we had on but I guess some of the guests thought we were in costume anyway. They had a rock and roll band playing and it was mainly older people. Peter sat in on guitar with the band and Micky did his solo complete with dancing and falling down. [...] Davy did his number and then Brenda Lee sang a few songs. It was really great and the Monkees didn’t mind being away from home so much on New Year’s Eve because of it.” - David Price, Tiger Beat, March 1967

New Year's Eve 1967:

Peter, along with Karen Harvey and baby Justin, traveled to London.

"Saturday morning, the telephone rings, Dad answers and the operator tells him that there is a call from New York for Davy Jones, or anyone at Clumber Road, so Dad accepts the call. ‘This is Peter, Peter Tork, sir. I’m so pleased to speak to you. David has told me such a lot about you.’ The message is to tell David that Peter is at the airport in New York and is flying to London, can David meet him there for the New Year? Luckily we are able to get hold of David and fix things up. On Sunday morning Peter flies into London and David meets him at the airport. [They attended] a swinging New Year’s Eve party at the 'Speakeasy Club' in London." - Hazel Jones Wilkinson, Tiger Beat, April 1968

On this London trip, Peter writes "Long Title..." (read more here), plays banjo for one of George Harrison's Wonderwall Music recording sessions (read more here), guest hosts Top Of The Pops, and gives interviews at a press reception held at London's Decca promotions office (read more here; yet more about that press reception here).
