Netflix dropping a teaser for season 2 introducing the other Endless siblings and Dream looking fine as fuck. That man got me in a fucking chokehold, by my very soul and I'm freaking out over a little skin being shown like a virgin being touched for the very first time. Cause god damn he is so fine and for what?!
And then walks in Barry "John fucking Price" Sloane portraying as Destruction. Excuse me, Sir I did not have that on my bingo card for 2024. The attraction I have for that man is insane.

i don’t think you’ve answered this question before (i apologise if you have and i just didn’t see it 😭). but what kind of music do you think the cod mw characters would listen to???
also i love your acc so much <3
Big believer in Barry Sloane's Price Playlist. Man has tunes, I have nothing else to say about that one.
Think Nikolai likes a good bit of heavy metal, he'll listen to any hard rock that's on. However, I also think that if certain 80s tunes came on the radio then he wouldn't change to a different station.
Coming from laswells-ashtray I will say, I'm not entirely sure about Kate's music taste. I think she can listen to Springsteen, big fan of Cover Me. I think she can listen to John Denver, who doesn't like a wee bit of John Denver? But I also think she enjoys a good mix of songs, she won't really complain about anything unless it's like fucking rave tunes. Country? She doesn't mind it. Eighties songs that leave you craving a dancefloor? Likes them while she's driving. Single mum music? Likes it. Divorced dad rock? Likes it. Her taste is diverse. I like to think she enjoys a good bit of Dolly Parton but that's mainly because she's always had a bit of a thing for Dolly Parton.
I'm ashamed to say it but with the others, I just don't know.
I know everyone hcs Ghost as a really hardcore metal guy but I'm not sure. Bloke grew up on British radio, he can listen to 2000s metal but if Adele is on the radio, he won't get angry about it but he won't sing along either.
I think Gaz likes Oasis and other bands like that but his gym tunes are definitely something different, like I wouldn't be surprised if he had Oasis playing on the way to the gym and then Bad Omens blasting through his headphones when he was actually there.
Soap, I don't know. I think depending on the mood he likes a good 2000s playlist, the man is not immune to Sir Mix-A-Lot when he goes to the gym. But in other circumstances then he's listening to shit like Billy Idol and The Clash, other similar-sounding bands. I don't think he's really one to settle on a specific musician though, I just think he drifts through artists in different genres.
I honestly don't know, that's a hard question and it's honestly just up to everyone's personal interpretation.

Wat? John Soane en John Soane Junior en George Soane door William Owen, huis en kunstcollectie van John Soane
Waar? Sir John Soane’s Museum, Londen
Wanneer? 6 augustus 2023
Vanochtend bezocht ik het vroegere woonhuis van architect John Soane (1753-1873). Soane was zoon van een metselaar, maar ontwikkelde zich tot een veelgevraagd architect. De Royal Academy onderkende het talent van de jonge Soan en kende hem een reisbeurs toe, waardoor hij een Grand Tour door europa kon maken. Terug in Engeland begon hij een enorme collectie kunstvoorwerpen aan te schaffen. De voorwerpen variëren van schilderijen tot beeldhouwwerken, van architectuurtekeningen tot modellen en van Griekse vazen tot een Egyptische sarcofaag.Toen ik in januari van dit jaar Sambourne House bezocht, dacht ik dat een huis niet meer kunstvoorwerpen kon bevatten dan dat. Soane’s House wint het op alle fronten! Zijn huis is nagelaten aan de staat met de clausule dat het in de staat moest blijven waarin het was bij Soan’s dood. Het resultaat is dit bijzondere museum.
In plaats van gewoon een bezoek aan het museum te brengen, heb ik een rondleiding geboekt. Dat heeft het voordeel dat ik ook een kijkje mag nemen in de kleine privévertrekken en de Picture Room. Het huis is door Soan zorgvuldig ontworpen met het oog op zijn collectie. Overal zijn lichtkoepels aangebracht, in de zogenaamde Breakfast Room, waar hij potentiële gasten ontving is er naast zo’n koepel in het dak ook geel glas aangebracht, dat zorgt voor een zuidelijk aandoend licht. Talloze spiegels zorgen bij bepaalde lichtinval voor een spectaculair effect.
De kunstvoorwerpen staan van de kelder tot verdieping, maar het meest intrigerende vertrek is de Picture Room. Gebouwd om de schilderijencollectie van Soane te herbergen. Het is een niet zo heel grote vierkante ruimte. Centraal hangt een schilderij van Venetië door Canaletto. Ook is er een serie van vier werken van Hogarth: The Election. Maar de echte verrassing moet nog komen. Aan beide zijden van de kamer bestaan de wanden uit twee beweegbare panelen. Zodra deze worden geopend komen er meer werken tevoorschijn, waaronder de serie A Rake’s Progress door William Hogarth. Achter de rechterpanelen bevinden zich nogmaals twee beweegbare panelen, waarachter zich nog meer kunstwerken bevinden.
Dat John Soane een geobsedeerd man was, lijdt geen twijfel. Iemand die zo gedreven verzamelt en zijn hele huis op die verzameling bouwt en inricht, durf ik wel fanatiek te noemen. Of het een erg aangenaam mens was, waag ik te betwijfelen. Hij dwong zijn twee zoons om architectuur te gaan studeren. Zijn oudste zoon George, die liever schrijver wilde worden, lag dwars. George’s levenswandel was verre van voorbeeldig. Hij kwam gevangen te zitten omdat hij schulden niet kon afbetalen. Toen hij uiteindelijk vrij kwam schreef hij in een krant artikelen vol kritiek op Sloane Seniors werk en persoon. Het leidde tot een onherstelbare breuk. Soane onterfde zijn zoon en liet zijn huis na aan de staat. Jammer voor George, maar een geluk voor alle bezoekers die tot op de dag van vandaag dit bijzondere huis in originele staat kunnen bewonderen.

During one of my recent trips to London, I got to visit what is probably the most insane museum I've seen yet - Sir John Soane's. In its "mad Victorian's attic" aesthetic it outshines even the Pitt Rivers in Oxford (although strictly speaking it's a mad Regency attic: Sir John Soane was a famous Regency-era architect, who accumulated a big collection and upon his death arranged it to be preserved in the same way he kept it, and open to the public for free).
I'm struggling to give this place a review. It was... something, to be sure. The rooms and passages were comically tiny, and the bottom line I think is that it should be enjoyed on a gloomy winter day, with as few tourists as possible, or else it's difficult to take all this madness in. Still, a curious place, that is impossible to deny.

Vibrations
Warnings: Smut 18+, breeding/daddy kink
Guys this is filthy, I’m so glad I’m not the only one that’s going absolute feral over Price/Barry Sloane
Captain Price was one of the guys that would intimate you but yet you loved it. The feel of his eyes on you as you talk to Ghost and Soap. You could practically feel him undressing you with his eyes. It doesn’t help that he has the remote the vibrator, you twitch as you feel the frequency hit your clit perfectly.
“Are you okay?” Ghost asked, him and Soap had their eyebrows raised at you as you squirmed under their gaze. “Yeah I’m fine, excuse me for a sec.” You walked past them, exiting the brief room, heading towards Price’s office. You heard the thud of footsteps behind you, heart skipping a beat, pussy throbbing at the thought of your captain destroying your pussy with the massive cock he has hidden under those camo pants. You round the corner and push open the door. The vibrations went up and you can’t hold in the moans any longer. You heard the door slam shut and the clinking of the belt coming off, clothes coming off. Moaning at the feel of the vibrator on your clit, he comes up behind and grunts at your response.
His bulge brushing against your ass, he’s grinding his hips at you. “S-sir, please.” Begging to be fucked by your captain, he only chuckled at how pathetic you looked. The sound sends heat pulling to your core. You pushed your ass towards him, trying to get as much friction as you can, only for him to pull away from you. Squeezing your thighs together and putting more pressure on your clit. “Love, look at me. Do you want daddy to fuck you? Feel you with daddy’s cum? Hmm?” You moaned at the questions, looking up at him. “Answer me love or you won’t get a good fucking from daddy.”
“Y-yes daddy. Fuck me hard please, cum deep inside me.” With the sound of that, he gripped your hips towards him, pushed his very visible bulge into your sensitive cunt. The vibrator still on your clit, his clothed cock putting pressure on the vibrator, making your pussy throb and drip with need. Wanting and needing your captain fuck you into the next world. His lips crashed on your lips, his tongue swiping along your bottom lip before plunging his tongue in your mouth. Tongues fighting for dominance before John’s tongue dominating your mouth. His hands went to your shift, nearly ripping it open to reach your tits. Your chest heaving makes them rise and fall, you looked at how he wanted to ravish your breasts. He wrapped his arms around to take your bra off, your breasts springing out of the bra. One of his hands went to one nipple while his mouth worked on the other.
You throw your head back from pure ecstasy, pushing your breasts even more into his face. He pinches your nipple in between his fingers while his mouth pulls on your nipple. Fuck you could practically cum from this alone. He switches sides giving each nipple the attention they deserve. Your hands are in his hair, pulling him closer to your chest. He grunts at the movement, the vibration from the sound on your tits sends a tingly sensation to your throbbing pussy. He pulls off from you, you whine at the loss, only to replace it with a groan as you feel the tip at your entrance. You both sigh as he pushes his entire length inside you, causing you to push your hips up to him.
He starts off with a slow tantalizing pace, bucking your hips at him to urge him to go faster, harder. One hand is on your hip, the other is on your breast, squeezing and pulling at your nipple. He places his hands under your knees for you to wrap your legs around him as he leads you both to the desk. Without missing a beat, he thrusts even harder and faster. “Fuck baby, you feel so fucking good on daddy’s cock. Want me to fill you up? Have my seed planted in you, my perfect breedable baby.” You could only whine and moan at the words coming from him. He’s always been possessive, but him having a breeding kink is new, you loved at the thought of him filling you up with his cum and carry his baby, fucking you until you do carry. Hell he’ll probably still fill you up when you are pregnant.
You felt a tight coil in your lower stomach ready to snap, John could tell. His thrusts were getting more sloppy, he’s getting close as well. Both of his hands went to your hips, pulling you closer to him as abuses your sopping cunt. “Baby I-I’m going to cu-” If it was possible, he fucked into you harder and faster, reaching both of your orgasms faster. The tight coil snapped, your vision blurred. John is still fucking into you, his cum shooting into your walls, the warmth of it making you have a small orgasm. His movements stopped, he slowly pulled out, you whined at the loss. He growled at the sight of you: legs spread open, his cum spilling out of you. He took his finger and scooped his cum and pushed his finger back into you, keeping it inside you. You could cum a third time if you could at the sight and feel. He pulled his finger and leaned down to kiss you. The kiss was sweet, passionate. He helped you up, your legs shaky.
“I didn’t know you had a breeding kink. I will admit that it was pretty hot.” He chuckled, heat pooling to your core again. Fuck this man can do anything innocently and you still find it super attractive. He’ll be the death of you.
Let me know if you want to be in the taglist, I will be writing more fics.

In 1971, Columbia Pictures commissioned a cinema adaptation of the hit BBC sitcom, Dad's Army. It was directed by Norman Cohen, and written by the television series creators and writers, Jimmy Perry and David Croft. The producer was John R Sloan, whose credits also included The Odessa File, No Sex Please, We're British, To Sir With Love, and Force 10 From Navarone.
The production was not an altogether happy experience for the television ensemble. Perry and Croft were frustrated that the director failed to understand that the comedy was as much in the reaction as the funny line, and the cast, Ian Lavender recalled, were upset by the treatment of the 'back row' actors, who formed the rear ranks of the Home Guard parade during the television episodes. Although they rarely had a line, the same actors were used from one series to the next, so were considered part of the cast. For the film, they were classed as extras and treated accordingly.
Mrs Pike, who was played for television by Janet Davies, was recast with Liz Fraser, who had a higher cinema profile and a 'less homely' image, against the objections of Perry and Croft and the disappointment of the cast. Another bone of contention was the location; the exteriors were shot in and around Chalfont St Giles rather than the series regular location of Thetford.
John Laurie was injured while handling a horse being used in the film, and perhaps reflecting the general mood of the cast and deteriorating relationship with the production crew, Arthur Lowe drove the prop master mad by complaining incessantly about the weight of his pistol. (He ended up taking matters into his own hands, found a local toyshop which he entered in full uniform, and purchased a plastic one).
The end result performed well at the box office, and there was talk of a sequel, Dad's Army and the Secret U-Boat Base, possibly to star Laurence Olivier, but this never eventuated.
Director Norman Cohen went on to direct three Confessions sex comedies, which probably made him one of the most financially successful directors in 1970s British Cinema. He passed away in 1983, aged 47.
The television series continued until 1977, and there were also radio and stage adaptations. In 2016, a cinema adaptation starred Toby Jones as Captain Mainwaring, Bill Nighy as Sergeant Wilson, and Sarah Lancashire as Mrs Pike. Ian Lavender had a cameo as the Brigadier, but the only original cast member to appear as his own character was the Vicar, played by Frank Williams, who passed away aged 90, in June 2022. He was afforded a standing ovation by the entire cast and crew when he arrived on set for his brief scene.
