That comma

Or, connections my brain makes when I don't sleep well for over a week because of a cold - read at your own risk :)

"I went to one meeting ten years ago. They were wittering on about the Christmas lights and passed a resolution condemning the improper use of apostrophes on signs in windows." (Mr. Arnold, s2e5)

This line always makes me laugh because I get super twitchy about certain grammar and punctuation errors. But errors happen, and you can usually tell what someone meant vs. what they wrote, so you correct it in your mind based on what you presume they meant and move on because there are bigger things to worry about in the world. Right?

Maybe we shouldn't always be so quick to presume and move on, though. Sometimes, things are supposed to be written a certain way for a reason. That reason is important, so we're taught the right way to write that thing. We all learn how to do it, and it's generally not something we screw up because there are consequences for doing it wrong. Like an address, for example. Addresses tell something or someone where to go. Maybe to a pub called The Resurrectionist - that one's at 66 Goat Gate in Edinburgh, right? It said so on the record that Maggie gave Aziraphale:

The Resurrectionist

66, Goat Gate

Edinburgh

Except - there's this annoying little comma in there that I've been ignoring for months. Right after the 66. Exactly where it shouldn't be - not if you're writing a street address. So I'm going to stop ignoring it and ask a question.

Is this actually a street address? I'm not questioning that the pub is in Edinburgh - that's well-established. It's that middle line - 66, Goat Gate - that I'm not sure of anymore. I'm having trouble making excuses for that comma.

If it isn't a street address, then what is it? I'm not sure, and I don't know if we have all the information to figure it out. My sleep-deprived brain has come up with a couple of crazy questions and ideas though. Starting with - what if the Clue is actually multiple Clues? What if we've just been thinking about the pub, but that second line contains a separate clue or clues about Edinburgh, so that Aziraphale Knows Where [He's] Going? (see what I did there?)

These ideas do require an assumption that we shouldn't just take season 2 at face value, but they aren't tied to any specific theories like time loops, dreams, etc.

This post from onceuponathyme about references to the number 66 in the show and promo posters, and gallup24's comment that the press pass in Newspaperman!Aziraphale's hat also has the number 66 on it got me thinking about whether the "address" and the hat are meant to be connected. The references to the number 66 could be an easter egg - the Book of Revelations is the 66th book of the Bible. But is it an in-show clue, too? Is the 66 on Everyday single telling Aziraphale to wear it on his hat, maybe as a signal to someone? ("The clarinet, it makes beautiful music.")

Moving on to Goat Gate. It could still be the name of a road. I have two other ideas though:

We've already seen goats turned into crows. Gate is an old term that can mean road or street. Goat Gate = Crow Road? (I don't know that I love this, but I'll put it out there anyway.)

There's also the symbolism of goats tied to Hell, Satan, and Crowley in particular - drconstellation has a lovely meta about sheep vs goats, so I'm not going to go any farther into that. But I do want to stay on Crowley, and the second place we see Aziraphale - the cemetery.

Not quite this, but I can find a gif for just about every other part of the scene except for the line I'm looking for. The one where after a bunch of hilarious noises, he says, "Do I sound like a goat?"

And then, a short while later...

The ground opens up (a gate to Hell?), and Crowley disappears, pulled down to Hell. And then we get one continuous shot of Aziraphale turning around in that spot that starts in 1827 and ends in present day.

We still don't know exactly why Aziraphale went to the cemetery. Maybe "Goat Gate" is the clue that sent him there?

One final thing I noticed in that episode that feels a little off to me now - Crowley's reaction when Aziraphale calls and asks him if he remembers Mr. Dalrymple. "Oh yeah, not a doctor, a mister! Whatever happened to him?" It's surprisingly normal and relaxed, considering what happened at the end of the night, isn't it?

Dead poets' society ship headcanons feelings realisation + confessions 

these are mainly modern headcanons.

Anderperry:

 SO MUCH PINING

Todd kind of had a thing for Neil from the start but thought it was just admiration  until the scene where Neil promises to take care of him. 

And Neil always found Todd interesting but realised his feelings when Todd improv’d his poem in class.

I feel like they would have kissed after the play if they had the chance 

Wrote each other christmas cards over the winter break with sickeningly sweet messages in them.

Crazy amounts of pda, nothing huge but they're always touching each other; holding hands, arms thrown around the others neck, leaning on each other like they don’t have their own spines.

knarlie:

Charlie’d  had a crush on Knox ever since they met but assumed it would just go away naturally… it did not

Only realised how much he liked him when Knox met Chris

Tried so hard to be a  supportive best friend, would give Knox a pep talk and then go to his dorm and scream into his pillow 

The longing went crazy

Knox didn’t figure out he liked Charlie until after his relationship with Chris ended.

The moment he realised he liked Charlie he decided to woo the ever loving shit out of him.

Confessed to him at a dead poets society meeting.

The fun couple™ 

Mitts: 

Never got together officially just kind of figured out that they liked each other simultaneously and decided to go with it

Childhood friends

Always together

None of the other poets know about their relationship because they’ve always been like that

Only figure out how much they need each other when they graduate and get into  separate colleges 

Always paired up in every subject in school

They work better together because each one makes up for the other’s weakness

Chameron: 

As much as I love the idea that Cameron and Charlie used to be close pre-canon,

I personally believe their relationship has always been strained.

Cameron idolises Neil, because Neil was the only one who really made an effort to include him so Cameron would try and hang out with him as much as possible, that’s how he ended up meeting Charlie

Cameron has always liked Charlie and Envied him for how free he is (In my opinion Cameron has one of the biggest cases of eldest daughter syndrome i’ve ever seen.)

Charlie and Cameron become roommates and despite how badly they treat each other and how mean Charlie gets Cameron still does his hardest to take care of Charlie (i.e he helps Charlie with trigonometry even after Charlie’s spent the better part of an hour mocking him.) because he can not STAND the idea of being disliked by anyone.

Gets frustrated easily by Charlie because he feels like he’s wasting his potential.

Cameron realises how much he cares about Charlie because of the saxophone scene, he was genuinely taken aback by how talented and sincere he was being about something. 

Charlie has no idea he likes Cameron

 He's always been a little fixated on Cameron and  what started as thinly veiled concern quickly became resentment at Cameron’s refusal to have fun.

While Charlie makes fun of Cameron to get a reaction out of him it’s also to prove to himself that Cameron is still a teenager and not just some uptight golden boy with an inability to think for himself, he gets a strange sense of satisfaction from making Cameron loosen up and act human for once.

The closest they’re dynamic has ever come to banter was the back and forth they had  when Charlie told the other poets that his parents made him take clarinet lessons when he was younger.

It isn’t  until Cameron snitches on them that Charlie figures  his shit out, why Cameron’s betrayal  hurt him more than anyone else and that’s why he punches him.

Charlie knows he’ll get expelled but he does it anyway because he can handle liking an uptight, overly cautious, teacher's pet but he draws the line at sharing a room with a traitor, draws the line at loving a coward.  

Cameron doesn’t pine he yearns, yearns for someone he barely knew

He spends the rest of his years at Welton alone, grieving the death of one of his best friends and mourning the end of something that never even started.

The only way these two could ever have a happy ending together is if they went to therapy and if  Welton had a reunion.

leave a ship or fandom suggestions and I’ll do headcanons for them if you want :)

COD 141 headcannons (SFW)

Slight angst? (TW) mention of internalized homophobia, nothing graphic.

Sorry about the lack of Gaz and Price ones ;-; I tried

Soap: His family owns a sheep farm which he helped out on since he was young, which kept him a pretty fit kid.

Soap: He joined his schools football(soccer) team and was pretty good at it.

Soap: Science was always his favorite subject

Soap: he’s a pretty good cook, he learned from his mom when she made him help out in the kitchen.

Soap: growing up in a catholic household made him gain a sort of internalized homophobia towards himself during his school years, until he joined and decided it didn’t matter.

Soap: His mom made him join his church’s boys choir, he hated it and felt stupid for doing it.

Soap: Really likes Mexican food, Alejandro took him (and the 141) for some food after las alamas and he hasn’t been the same since.

Ghost: Struggles to sleep, has really bad insomnia. When he does get some sleep he’s often woken up by nightmares of his past or his fears.

Ghost: Has claustrophobia, he hides it well during missions and in front of others, but he’s internally freaking out.

Ghost: Was pretty skinny when he was younger, his dad would make fun of him for it.

Ghost: Did really well in school, had been offered scholarships but decided to do the military instead

Ghost: Not the best cook but he remembers some of the things he and his mother used to make together.

Ghost: Surprisingly good with kids.

Gaz: He ran track for his school when he was younger, he mainly did it because he felt like he needed to do some type of sport.

Gaz: Had a pretty normal childhood, owned a dog he’d take running with him.

Gaz: Great cook, he just liked cooking and still will watch the occasional cooking show if it sounds interesting.

Gaz: when he was in middle school he took band, played clarinet. Hated every second of it.

Gaz: Can’t stand sweet things. Candy gives him a headache. Only on his birthday will he indulge and get himself a cupcake.

Price: Hated school, did not do well in it. Dropped out his junior year. Was a huge trouble maker and skipped school a lot. The military really fixed his behavior, kind of.

Price: Has a surprising sweet tooth, even if he denies it. His favorite sweet treat is trifles, doesn’t like that they tend to only be sold around Christmas.

Price: Can cook, but it’s nothing special. Prefers to just order something from somewhere with decent food.

Price: He tends to fall asleep at his desk a lot, it’s not because he’s so exhausted (well that’s part of it) but he just prefers it, he things his chair is more comfortable than his bed.

Price: Story teller, will yap about things for hours if you let him. Laswell usually does when they’re at a bar.

I love Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812 because it’s titled like a wwattw song and sound like jesus christ superstar meets les mis meets queen meets idk but the clarinet is POPPIN

in the first song they bitch about how long war and peace is and then launch into a twelve days of christmas style naming of the characters. once done with that they absolutely shit on pierre. they hate him so much. this sets the tone for the rest of the show perfectly

an iconic cast both on and off broadway! weird synthesizers! clarinet again it’s so fucking good!

anatole did NOT need that many high notes but thank the lord that he has them

“ooooOOOOOOH this is horribly stupid 😔 ✨”

also just like. the way they describe the characters or have the characters describe themselves is everything. me after pouring several glasses mechanically into my large mouth (SYNTH GOES CRAZY). it’s brilliant. inspired

[colosseumofblahaj]

turns out my school's wind ensemble is doing Dance of The Sugar Plum Fairy at the Christmas concert, and GUESS WHAT BITCHES? I GET TO PLAY THE MOST RECOGNISEABLE BASS CLARINET PART ON MY BASS CLARINET HELL YEAH

Voyager Christmas Traditions

Janeway: Is the one who decides the senior staff should do Christmas together, but never actually organises it or cooks anything. She does however always give everyone the best presents before knocking back several brandies and going to sleep while everyone else is still talking.

Chakotay: Turns up even though he doesn't want to be there, gives fairly benign gifts like new coffee cups and photo frames. Picks at the food and moans about it (especially the carrots), bring his own alcohol from his secret stash and waits late to make sure Kathryn actually gets a proper sleep before she takes the morning shift.

Tuvok: Feigns indifference about the whole thing but hovers round the food like a vulture and always clears his plate. Gives thoughtful gifts like books of quotes, handmade ceramics he's picked up while on away missions, or crafts made by his own hand.

B'Elanna: Is cagey around the Christmas party for the first year or so since she only celebrated Christmas when she was really little and it makes her miss her dad. After she fails to get everyone to agree to a Secret Santa, she starts to gift people sweets and cakes, and usually ropes everyone into an after-dinner game of some sort (like charades) because even though she loves the senior crew, she still has a really low tolerance for small talk.

Tom: Arrives carrying copious amounts of booze and sweets he's stashed somewhere. Replicates Christmas crackers just so everyone has to wear a stupid hat at the dinner table. Tries and fails each year to turn Christmas dinner into a potluck to save them all from Neelix's cooking.

Harry: Goes overboard with the gift giving, giving everyone bags full of presents all the while apologising because he's convinced everyone will hate their presents. Gets tipsy and then maudlin at the dinner table, talking about everything his parents used to do at Christmas. Once properly drunk he disappears for a while and comes back with his clarinet and/or saxophone and plays a song or two before Tom distracts him with cookies. He's usually the first one to leave due to being an alcohol lightweight.

Neelix: Is in charge of the cooking for most of their Christmas dinners together. The first year he adds leola root to the stuffing. And decides mashed leola root is far more flavourful than mashed potatoes. He quickly learns he shouldn't do this, but every year after that he makes sure to add leola root to something... just for the nutritional value. Every year he's shocked the crew can pinpoint what he added it to. He almost got airlocked by Kathryn one year and putting mistletoe over her and Chakotay when they were standing talking. He still doesn't understand why she took exception to that because everyone else seemed to find it particularly amusing (especially Tom and drunk Harry who both shouted " just kiss already!").

Seven: Shows up as ordered to her first Christmas dinner with the senior crew, criticises the food and leaves. The next year she does slightly better, by criticising the food and staying. By their last Christmas together she manages to wrestle control of the kitchen from Neelix by claiming that her present to him is to give him the afternoon off. She puts on an extravagant multi-course banquet for her long-suffering friends, even making leola root mash specifically for Neelix.

The Doctor: After getting his mobile emitter, he's a no-show unless he's guaranteed the opportunity to present a slideshow educating the senior staff about different Christmas traditions around the world. He argues that since he can't eat then this is the least they can do to make him feel included. Every year he focuses on a different country or region, but the crew think he's making some of the facts up, especially the Catalan traditions!

I’m really excited about having a second bedroom but now that my apartment is finally clean and I’m, like, ready to do something with my second bedroom…… IDK what to do with my second bedroom!!

I was thinking just to make it a sort of general office/creative area? A desk for drawing and writing. I asked for new clarinet reeds for Christmas and I wanna start playing my clarinet again, so I could place my sheet music stand and all that in there. Maybe if im feeling extra crazy I could even do some painting?

I have 3 headcanons of SpongeBob: Christmas Who.

Gary knew it was Squidward as Santa. He was watching through the window, before he can bring SpongeBob inside, he sees Squidward dressing up as Santa Claus to cheer him up. His Meow at the end means Thank you, for cheering up SpongeBob, as he carries him back to the pineapple.

Santa wasn’t able to make it because he has to give presents to the families around the world. Before he can get to Bikini Bottom, he watches Squidward bullying SpongeBob. But his heart changes when SpongeBob gives him a present, a hand-carved driftwood clarinet. Squidward sees how SpongeBob has only been trying to spread joy, he feels very remorseful for what he did, and decides to make up for his rudeness. He dresses up as Santa and surprises SpongeBob, who thanks him for bringing Christmas to Bikini Bottom. The next morning Squidward’s belongings reappear, and he has a day off of work. He finds another note from Santa, saying he and SpongeBob has earned it.

Sandy wasn’t seen for the rest of the special, because she was at Texas celebrating the holidays with her family.

YO THESE ARE SO GOOD AND ARE BRINGING BACK CHILDHOOD MEMORIES! 🥹
