#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

anti-catradoras be like:

“omg I KNOW they’re enemies to lovers and they’re not supposed to be fluffy, YES I can handle enemies to lovers, just enemies to lovers who are written better! I swear I do like enemies to lovers just not catradora! Here’s toxic yuri that is chaotic and not fluffy that I DO like!”

This is not at all based off of a post I saw that said Glimmadora is true enemies to lovers written right whereas Catradora just goes to far to be enemies to lovers 🙃

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.

MacArthur: Some guy shouted "fuck America" during the national anthem, I decked him. They threw him out. USA, USA, USA!

[obedientteens]

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!

“So when he starts to heave the rock, I go like this – see? A cadet in England’s mounted police school at Aldershot goes through his paces for the cameraman.”
