#striking mechanisms

TL;DR: I think Monroe's striking and chiming clocks were underutilized for truly hilarious interruptions when the hour strikes and 5 or so clocks announce it in sync.
I think we've all looked over a very important detail in Nick having stayed over at Monroe's for a time. I feel like I REALLY want someone to explore this in a fanfiction of some sort.
Monroe has several "striking" clocks in his house. A striking clock (or just clock for those who differentiate clocks as striking and timepieces as non-striking) makes sounds every hour, half hour, or can chime every quarter hour depending on the number of mechanisms.
Monroe obviously has a grandfather clock (or grandmother clock as I'm not sure the height of it) thanks to him telling Hap not to touch it. So that is definitely a striking and chime clock. Or has the potential to be as such if it's not silenced. He also has potentially more than one cuckoo clock.
Can you imagine the absolute terror of a person who has never been in a house with more than one striking clock as it hits the hour or half hour for the first time.
Now, ideally Monroe will have silenced most of his clocks. I don't know. I don't have any working clocks. I don't know how most horologists do things at their private homes. If they find the striking nostalgic or welcomed. But let's err on the side that Monroe has been living alone for a long time and actually does find a few chimes and striking nostalgic after growing up with it as his dad seemed to also be into clocks.
Let's layer this with the fact that Nick has very sensitive hearing (though I'm not sure when that happens. I could have my timelines wrong). Despite that, you're just getting to sleep at around 11pm or midnight and for some reason have been oblivious to or accepting of the chimes during the day. Or this is your first night in your friend, Monroe's, house and suddenly the first floor below you erupts in various chimes and tunes.
Can you imagine?!
I'm actually kind of astounded that this was never properly explored in the. In not one scene does any of Monroe's clocks strike despite how long everyone is at his house. I mean, if I had clocks I'd at least appreciate one of them striking.
The point is, I really want to either write or read a fanfiction where either Rosalee or Nick or Hank experiences the sound of an hour in the most unexpected way and grumpily complains to a completely and adorably oblivious Monroe.
(It would also have been a great gag if in the middle of a dramatic conversation it struck the top of the hour and Monroe patiently waits for his clocks to sound off before continuing. And Nick/whoever he's talking to is just like "Seriously dude?" And he's like, "What? ...fine! I'll silence them. Jeez! I didn't ask you to be here anyway, man!")

It's so interesting how submissive House is to Wilson. In basically every scene where Wilson gives his 2 cents about a case, House without fail (for the most part) follows his opinion. Wilson gives him unsolicited advice and half the time he listens without saying anything, and the other half he argues but ends up listening to him anyway. House starts psychoanalysing Wilson and Wilson does it right back to him and House shuts the fuck up or gives a one line quip back at him (to have the last line) but knows deep down Wilson is right.
For a man of House's stature and how he interacts with Literally Everyone Else, the writers really hammer it into your soul that House only really listens to Wilson and no one else
#i only really started noticing this after the “i am in charge of our relationship” scene and LIKE#ITS TRUE!!! WILSON IS VERY MUCH IN CHARGE#hes wrangling his little scruffy stray kitten and hes doing his best#house cannot be controlled but wilson fucking tries and is the only one who succeeds sometimes#as for things like vicodin#i think house doesnt listen to wilson for that because its a coping mechanism#its his only solace that takes away a deeply traumatic incident that happened to him#it is the only bit of control he has over that incident#and hes not gonna just let go of it#and because he doesnt mind dying a little or a lot sometimes he wont just give it up bc its hurting him#hilson#house md#heph.txt#m super sleepy rn i hope my words make sense#n i hope my text posts arent starting to get annoying bc i have so many thoughts and every time it strikes me it goes on Tumblr

Hello ADHD haver. In front of you are two pills for your generic prescription. Your pharmacist says they are identical — the only difference is the manufacturer.
One pill will work perfectly. The other will kill you. Choose wisely.
#generic concerta strikes again#anyways it's unbelievably fucked up that not all generic medications are identical in terms of dosage and extended release mechanism#i was on generic from one manufacturer with no issue for 18 months. but now the manufacturer changed and it's giving me heart palpations#the FDA ain't shit#theo.txt

The funniest moment of The Running Grave was when Strike said "you're in therapy?" and Lucy replied "well yeah, aren't you?" and Strike was like "No???"

In the conversation Nastya and Jonny have in The Aurora Strikes, Nastya tells Jonny she is informing him out of curtesy and that she had already told Brian to lay in the coordinates, to which Jonny gets upset and complains that Brian is an “insubordinate piece of brass” and Nastya’s response is to *agree* with him. I know that she’s placating him, but her telling him “yes yes I know [he *is* an insubordinate piece of brass for doing what I told him to instead of bringing it up to you, whom we have all agreed are not the captain anyway]” is very funny to me.

fuck your f1 fantasy driver line ups and your f1 fantasy championship battles my f1 fantasy is proper unionisation leading to collective action that holds the powers that be to account!
#sorry i'm just really in a niki lauda mood today#i think the drivers should strike and the engineers and mechanics should strike#and the fia shuts the fuck up

A young wannabe Blitzball ace. Jecht at 17 years old was still as much of a braggart as he is later in life but it took a while for him to reach the height of stardom, i imagine he has a lot of Tidus mannerisms.
#the challange here was trying to ensure Jecht looked like Jecht even without having all his 'jechtsms' no beard no bandanna#and no shirtlessness ! the most recgnozeable aspect about him#i took a lot of inspo from early tidus concept arts#and even liked the idea that jecht had to take a side gig as a mechanic as a sort of reference to earlier ffx storyline drafts#i picture a sort of crisis core low-stakes prequel where we see Jecht as a young man and meeting Tidus's mother#i hc she gave him the bandana for good luck#i also think it would be fun to examine and shed a lot more light on her love with Jecht#because everything strikes me that she had a strong obessive love with Jecht and i would love to shine a spotlight on that further#maybe she was Jechts first fan?#my art#ffx#ff10#final fantasy x#final fantasy 10#jecht#ffx jecht#fanart#my concept art

So... the drivers might be plotting action against the FIA? LET'S FUCKING GO
I hope this is the GPDA @ the FIA:
#f1#formula 1#formula one#fuck the fia#context: the gpda just set up an Instagram#first followers were max & charles along with nico h & bottas etc but max & charles are the first from the big teams to follow#After the FIA's complete disregard of driver safety the entire race weekend in brazil#ironically at a race weekend honouring a driver who was killed in the second most recent fatal crash in f1#they deliberately flounced safety procedures again and again and delayed appropriate action#i hope the drivers AND the mechanics strike#because the mechanics are ridiculously overworked as is never mind how additionally overworked they were on Sunday#edit: Esteban and Kevin too!!#i said co because i couldn't confirm just double checked now
