#the police cadets

[junibgoode]

ok I've been thinking about ridoncuous race lately(blame the noco nemma discourse. pls get a hobby @ those ppl 😭😭) and im just thinking about what I'd change. not going into what I'd do for all of td bc atp I'd probably need to just rewrite the show(as tempting as that is I have like. a life i like living) bit rr there's just 2 major things.

firstly Noah's overall writing. hear me out, he was good especially in the one liners department but some things were just. like him being low-key a dick to Owen sometimes. he does have the casual mean-ness to him(samesies) with friends there were moments that were. like what. also nemma. if I could be as radical as possible and push my Sapphic agenda I'd have lesbian emma with a whole arc about it bc it would've been so good. the whole "I mess up every relationship I have with a guy by dating one's I know are shitty or just messing stuff up myself to find and excuse to end them" and "omg I've just been gay the whole time" would've been so good on her character. did my queen dirty. and with that I'd make nowen canon bc out of the Noah ships it's probs the best(not my favorite per say but just the best chemistry and canon wise).

but playing by network rules I'd just give them better chemistry. from memory(idk its been a while) I think they just have them sarcastic banter and then. Noah was all mushy. and emma was into the pathetic boyfailure of it all. which yk pathetic boyfailure is what he is(tho I tend to read him as gay. disaster bisexual works too). but Noah has the whole sarcastic banter with other charactets. like they could've given us more to work with is my point instead of rushing in with nemma to plug up the nowen and lesbian emma allegations(shout-out to the anon on total drama takes with that submission, you're my personal hero).

also I'd make the police cadets not police. as far as police goes they're not bad themselves considering MacArthur doesn't even believe in the institution herself and sanders just wants to do good but is ultimately misguided. but man like could've made them P.I.s trying to prove themselves after getting kicked off the force(I do hc they eventually leave).

thank u for coming to my Ted talk yes my autism diagnosis appointment will be soon

I love the Ice Dancers. If Fresh weren't cowards, they would have been the best winners.

Cadet Zed: Yeah. I used to be a real jerk, but now I'm a people guy. (singing) tough to be a truck driver cowgirl.(talking)You're awake!What kind of music do you like? Do you like salsa? Do you like reggae? Something with that love beat?This is a song I wrote off my first album. And it goes something like this.(singing)When I was a baby I had no head I couldn't get a job, I couldn't go to bed It was originally a love ballad, but I kind of spruced it up.(talking)No, I don't take requests.

John = Lew Grade

George = Dick James

Ringo = ??? Dee

Maybe Dave Dee who left his band to go solo in Sept 1969, as referenced by George when recording I Me Mine without John in Jan 1970?

Or Simon Dee who was a radio DJ and had a BBC chat show (the one where Jane announced she and Paul had broken up) but he fell out with the BBC over salary (and was hard to work with?) and left in Dec 1969. He went to ITV* in Jan 1970 with The Simon Dee Show but it was a ratings disaster and he fell out with David Frost who was on just before him. It’s most remembered for when he had George Lazenby, John and Yoko on in Feb 1970. Lazenby rambled about JFK conspiracy theories which was probably the nail in the coffin for it and the show was fully dropped in June.

Or maybe I’m missing an obvious Northern Songs person.

Katie had always been a well-behaved girl, with a normal life. But one day, little did she know that it was all about to change.

On that day, she was shopping with her friends when a handsome, young male Police Officer came over to them.

"You lot better hadn't get any funny ideas” he said “you do know what happens to disobedient teens, don’t you?” The girls seemed confused, but he’d walked away by know, so they just carried on shopping.

But as they were leaving, someone shouted “Catch those teenagers! I just saw them stealing”. The girls were horrified, but before they could protest the Police Officer and his colleagues swooped in, handcuffing them all and leading them to cages in the back of awaiting police vehicles.

After a while, the vehicle stopped and the back doors were opened by the handsome, young male Police Officer. He grabbed Katie by her handcuffs and led her inside what looked to be a grand, old country house.

As they approached the building, the two grand double doors were opened by a boy, who looked not a day over eighteen, dressed head to toe in a Royal Marines dress uniform; polished shoes, white gloves, the lot. His head and face were shaven, his expression was non-existent, he had no distinguishing features apart from a credit-card sized ID badge that dangled from his trousers, with a picture of what could’ve easily been mistaken for a soldier.

Katie was led upstairs, into a small dressing room with clothes hanging on the wall. “I expect you to be wearing those by the time I re-enter this room, Recruit. Do you understand?” He questioned, gesturing to the uniform hanging on the wall. Katie felt compelled to respond with “Yes, sir”. He left the room.

She began to put on her new uniform, starting with a navy blue t-shirt, then a navy blue jumpsuit. But rather strangely, there was already a tag on her uniform with her surname on: “Wilson”. She didn’t have time to contemplate it though, so she quickly slit on and laced up her heavy and restrictive leather black boots and put her Sailors cap on. Katie noticed some polish in the corner of the room, so she put some on her boots just for good measure.

That was three years ago. Today, LH Cdt Wilson won the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award for most obedient cadet. How things change!

It’s so depressing! And the worst part is how people are so insistent on using these god-awful grey market streaming sites that are agonizingly slow and low quality and just as scummy as paid services since blast you with ads and malware and crypto miners when, with 10 minutes of reading easily accessible tutorials, they could learn how to download the files directly, in 4K quality, with zero ads or delisted items, on their own personal streaming server with professional apps (even on phones!) that can also add subtitles and includes show art, episode descriptions, and even theme songs, in roughly 30-60 seconds each! All it takes is a decent tutorial and not being afraid to do it yourself instead of googling around for a site, and once you learn how to do it you’re done; I’ve used the same methods and many of the same sites for over 20 years now!

Just use BitTorrent!

I cannot believe there's absolutely no way to watch free shows and movies anymore, there are too many paid streaming platforms and pirating websites have viruses and ads preventing you from watching it uninterrupted((.)) id rather follow the rules and purchase media moving forward because it is too inconvenient. Seriously, free and no ads or viruses with 1080p streaming is DEAD.
