#ps: 2008

[tenthhdoctor]

I was going to let this go, but I can't stand it anymore.

What is UP with Evilive and Australia???

(This is a joke btw and not at all serious I love this show)

Okay, so I haven't heard of an 'E2' class Australian visa. No big deal. But it made me curious as to what it was, so I briefly looked for information on what visas Australia had in 2008 and...I couldn't find anything referencing an E2 visa for someone emigrating from South Korea to Australia. What I can find is an E2 class visa for someone emigrating from Australia to South Korea. I can also find an E2 visa for someone emigrating to the US.

So: 1. I'm dumb and missed something. 2. The writers were familiar with E2 visas because South Korea has them, and the US has them, so like...who would notice?

(Side note: They are emigrating to Sydney!!! Whoo NSW representation!!!)

But this...this was what broke me:

???

??????

Okay. So, you're exporting to...Sydney? Maybe? Sure, lets go with that because literally nothing else makes sense (except Newcastle??? Which has a major port, apparently). And then bypassing Brisbane to ship to...Gladstone, Queensland? Okay, sure. I googled it and they seem to...export a lot of stuff, and have a major port there, so maybe they import too?

And then...what.

Where even IS that in WA (Western Australia)???

Oh! I looked it up and it's most likely Port Hedland, which is apparently another major port! The largest bulk...export...port in the world, supposedly. But maybe they import as well? (Okay, so it DOES import, but wow the difference between the import and export numbers is...a lot. Wikipedia even has 2008 statistics. Neat!)

Wow, the attention to detail sure is great in this show, but...uh...

Why???? Coal????

Why are you shipping our major export, that we export to you, our #3 export market in 2008...back to us?????

Like...it's just about the only thing we do. We export coal. I learned about our coal industry in school. Our richest person is a billonaire mining magnate. One of our former Prime Ministers became a joke for saying, "Coal is good for humanity." And then my university lecturer for Environmental Law got so pissed she put the quote in our final exam as an essay question.

But I digress.

I still looked it up to see if we import coal and export it, and the answer is...no. We do not.

LNG and ORE are also unlikely, as they're some of our other major exports (well, Iron Ore is). I can't find a lot of data from 2008 specifically, but the 2016-2019 data isn't good (compare imports on pages 52-53 with exports pages 54-56) and it seems recently (2021-2022) our major imports from South Korea included refined petroleum and cars. Not Ore and LNG. However, despite being the #1 exporter in the world for Iron Ore in 2021, we were the #42 importer of it too, so that one's possible imo. LNG though? Not as likely as ORE, because we export it and seem to supply it domestically, but way more likely than Coal.

Conclusion?

For a scene that barely lasts 2 seconds, the level of detail is crazy. I'm genuinely very impressed.

Also. It is hilarious that Seo Do Young was planning to sell us coal. The end.

#evilive #evillive #biography of a villain #PS it's VEEEERY funny that Han Dong Soo's arsonist mother #was going to come to Australia of all places #bushfire nation of the world #AND IN 2008 #like my guy you should be soooo glad you stayed in South Korea actually #PPS I couldn't figure out was 'WA US' and 'EA US' meant #and I JUST realised it means 'West Australia' and 'East Australia' #West Australia and East Australia and GLADSTONE #I'm deceased

soldier boy

in 6th grade, the school newspaper club finally came out with an issue, and they featured a section where it listed popular/favorite songs

everyone was pointing and laughing at how they spelled Soulja Boy like "Soldier Boy"

...and that's how I learned the truth LMAO

glad whoever wrote the newspaper saved me the trouble

[billgetsmewet]

Can you do an imagine where it’s mutual masterbation with early 2008 bill (the black hair with white streaks one) and she squirts all over herself as she watches bill jerk himself off infront of her. Bit of a wild one, came from the depths of my imagination (if you’re not comfortable that’s 100% okay) 😘😘

Paired

all the expected warnings are in the req!

a/n:i need a coke zero so bad

You and your friend were talking in school and she mentioned something about “mutual masturbating” while talking about her new hookup.

You werent suprised , she was an oversharer, but this word caught your attention.

You werent sure how comfortable your boyfriend , Bill, was about these things, since you guys never had sex together before.

You and Bill finally got the chance to hang out, its been a while and youve forgotten about this whole “mutual masturbation” thing.

-nsfw-

He came over to your house, but you guys got pretty bored after a few hours.

You were laying on him, head in the crook of his neck. You felt something almost pierce you on your pussy.. he was barely even touching you..

Bill slowly rolled you off him, thinking you were asleep. You could barely hear his zipper move down before he unbuttoned his pants.

You could hear him whine and moan, whpering your name as his dick was all wet from precum, you couldnt help but crack your eyes open for a bit, just to see his length.

God, was he big.

You wanted to wake up so bad, jerk him off instead of him doing it or just do something instead.. you wanted him to please you so bad aswell.

You sit up, frightening him for a bit.

No-no no, Bill, its okay, its okay! dont worry!! im so sorry

you were obviously not sorry, you did this on purpose.

you gave him a tight hug, feeling his dick, that was hanging out of his jeans at this point, harden.

Fuck it.. you mumble, taking off your shirt, beginning to do the same as him, you couldnt help it.

You finger yourself while he is jerking himself off, hes so hot, his cum all over his fingers, as his mouth hangs open.

He moans your name, making you speed up with your fingers, close to the edge.

Y/n.. he moans submissively, begging for your help

He obviously gets no reply as youre too busy playing with your pussy, but its not like he gives a shit.

He starts to moan heavily and take deep breaths, hes clearly close to his climax.

You take one good look back at him and she shoots his load, cumming all over his hand and your bed.

He gets up immediately, apologizing, but you just kiss him in reply, starting to make out.

ps i hope this was ok😭😭 love u izzy 😜😜😜

[qqueenofhades]

As an European I do love to shit on American politics of course, but at the same time, the moment you're a little bit aware of world politics as European you know to watch the USA.

Like. This is of utmost importance to us too. Look at the massive right in far right fascist ideas in Europe right now. I am willing to bet on Trump paving the way for these idiots. (In fact the night after Trump was elected, I dreamt he nuked the world outside of North America just because he felt like it).

In 2008, the crisis started in America and it spread from there. I remember watching with baited breath and it was rough. Tumblr's Americanocentrism is frustrating and unwarranted and must change, but American politics definitely DO affect the rest of the world in tangible ways. America is used as precedent. (I know you know this, mx. Queen, but idk about your followers which is why I'm saying this!)

These elections aren't just the most important to American citizens. They are extremely important to non-American too.

Ps I think it is bullshit you need to register to vote. I assume this is another Republican attempt to stop people from voting? Coming from a country where you're sent an invitation to vote when you're 18+ and they've voting offices at universities and train stations to increase the number of voters... Yikes. Fuck the Republicans and any politician abroad who supports them!

If, God forbid, American democracy was to end, the damage to both America itself, and the rest of the world, would be utterly incalculable. America is the oldest democratic republic and also the most powerful country in the world. We know the "freedom" thing is abused and misused, has been invoked to justify countless ill-omened imperial and foreign adventures, done plenty of very real harm to many places, and is built on a systemic and deliberate misreading of history. But if that's the case even in a flawed liberal democracy, how many orders of magnitude worse would it be in an unabashed theocratic fascist dictatorship? Can you even begin to imagine the damage that regime could and would do to EVERYONE?

America is a flawed, messy bitch of a country in so many ways, and it has never once actually lived up to its founding ideals. But at least it has been a democracy, and the influence it exerts on the rest of the world, for better or worse, is incalculable. It would be an absolute, unmitigated, unbearable, irreversible tragedy if fascism was allowed to have free rein here. If anyone is like "I hate America": I GET IT. I GET IT SO HARD. But if your response to that is "I don't care if it becomes openly fascist and won't act to stop that," that is a huge problem.

Aha! I knew it! Nobody can be this consistently sunshine for real!

I have a bloodhound nose for fictional trauma :P

PS Loving this drama when the last romcom I loved before it was so long ago it was probably Secretary Kim from 2018 reminded me of something - there is no genre I dislike per se. I just find some genres harder to do well than others in terms of their appeal either because they lack tropes that make me overlook flaws (give me assassins in love or a doomed general and I am gonna overlook a LOT) or because they are harder to make involving due to inherently lower stakes. I mean my favorite kdrama for a long time (and still a big fave) was 2008's Worlds Within and it's a slice of life, a genre that I do not often tolerate, let alone adore. The thing is, what HCCC has and it's a rarity - is every actor in this main or supporting has chops unlike many romcoms I can name that rely on wooden cute people, but more importantly the script is just so so so good. It breathes and feels like reality, but a lovely, warm cup of tea on a cold day one.

Her sister Kate Connors was blamed for a crime she didn't commited and Faith's mission is to rescue her no matter what she'll need to go through. Through the game you get to know how important is it to her,with Kate being the only one alive family member she has She's rebellious and doesn't let anyone to say what she's supposed to do; but her rebellion is tied to her wanting a justice, which is nearly impossible to get in their city. Faith is not a type to talk a lot, she's focused on action and doesn't has time to waste. She may appear as cold at times but it's just an attitude she puts to survive in their circumstances. In the final reunion scene, she gently embraces her sister and we get a glimpse on Faith that we didn't saw before as much: gentle,caring and vulnerable. Credit scenes are accompanied with "Still Alive" song by Psycho Crusher, you can give it a listen,if you're curious what I'm talking about :) (Ps: Mirror's Edge Catalyst from 2016 has different plot and it changes relationship with her sister and the core part of the OG game. I didn't mentioned it because I'm not a fan at all🙏)

Kirsten is ready for a day of baking and is showing off my pie birds. Does anyone know if her baking outfit was associated with a story? I can’t seem to find anything except that her father painted her shoes.

PS: the outfit is tight on this 2008 Kirsten so there’s no way it’s fitting on my PC Kirsten. Guess we’re adding this sweet girl to the doll house 🥧❤️🏡

A note from Lorde

(27/03/2024) ("Take Me to the River" cover release)

Hey you, it's me

Today my version of "take Me To The River" from the Stop Making Sense compilation comes out. Do you remember the first time you ever heard Talking Heads? I'll tell you my story.

Ok, it's 2008. I'm twelve years old, eyes painted black, jaw blasted with acne. My bedroom is a nest of posters, broken toys, street signs. I've kissed with tongue.

Something's happening to me: i am beginning to ooze out in every direction. I feel a constant burning urge to express myself, to draw a map that leads to who l am. I can't get it right; there's deep discomfort in this, and I have no choice but to keep trying.

At the same time, I'm realising that if I look at a picture or listen to a song sometimes a surge of feeling will take over my whole body. In this way, I can remove my strange-feeling insides and replace them with whatever I want. I can't predict what exactly will do this to me, so I have to try everything. Things are either corny, or they're cool. Occasionally, the thing that replaces my insides is a total mystery to me, not corny or cool but somehow both, and through this feeling I have my first experiences with the divine.

My mother, an artist herself, sees the ooze. She brings her laptop into my room one night and puts on a Youtube video. It's grainy, 240p at best. In the video I see a band from another time performing on a TV show. The lead singer wears a suit, has high cheekbones and slicked-back dark hair. To his left a blonde girl plays bass. They stand in pools of light. The dark haired man is singing a song about wanting someone, not being sure why. He is a preacher, a controlled fire, a wild animal. He's moving like ive never seen anyone move, and his eyes are rolling back in his head. He knows how it feels to kiss with tongue. The wifi signal drops in and out from downstairs.

I feel a portal open between me and the screen. Humour, lust, rhythm and ritual course through me. I don't understand what I'm feeling, but I do understand that the band in the grainy video live with the same strangeness that I do. My palms tingle. My insides are replaced.

This version of the first Talking Heads song I ever heard was done in a few days in Echo Park, L.A. with my friend Jimmy. It's my interpretation of that pixellated spiritual experience. We did it fast, I didn't let myself tidy it up too much, it had to feel young and imperfect, the peeling posters, the jaw of acne. It's beyond a great honour to be part of this compilation. In doing so, I am reaching back through time and pinning something to that kid's wall.

Hope you like it

PS* Immediately after that Top of the Pops clip finished, I had my first of many, many viewings of Stop Making Sense. I am truly changed as I know you were too by that group of people on the Pantages stage moving together with warmth, strangeness and pure cool. It was so great to go to the theatre and feel that again on a big screen. Love to DB, Tina, Jerry and Chris, and to Lynn, Edna, Alex, Steve, and Bernie Worrell.
