In the era of streaming, it feels like all of these streaming companies are just throwing darts at random at a dartboard and hoping some stick instead of actually aiming for a bullseye.

What I mean by that is shows don't get a chance to find their footing because they're cancelled as the streaming companies spread their money too thin.

A great example of this is how I met your father on Hulu which just got cancelled. The first season wasn't great but they really found their footing in the second season and I think it could have been a really successful sitcom in its own right in the long run. I'm going to draw comparisons with the US Office, which was basically a carbon copy of the UK Office in its first season but then found its footing in the second season. If it was made now I have no doubt it would be cancelled after the second season and would never have been given the chance to become as popular as it did. This is what streaming companies don't understand. You have to give a few shows a chance to breathe rather than funding hundreds and then giving none of them a shot to get past two seasons.

thinking about sleazy cop!price who abuses his power to pull you over, just so he can have a feel of you <3

he recognises your car the minute it passes him on the road back into town, zooming past him doing something minor like five miles per hour over the limit. usually he’d turn a blind eye to it, but it’s been a slow night, hardly anything to get johns adrenaline going.

so he pulls out of his spot beside the side of the road, doing a u-turn, catching up behind you. before switching on his red and blues, and his siren, signalling you to pull over. almost instantly you comply, pulling to the side, not to his surprise of course, he already knows how pretty and compliant of the law you are — his two favourite things.

your window is already down by the time he reaches the drivers side, a flashlight in his hand, shining it in to see your pleading, worried eyes peering up at a him. fuck, he swears his cock twitches just at that. but, then you speak, all innocent and coy.

“is there a problem, officer?”

officer. to him, it’s like liquid gold coming from those lips of yours. he does consider just letting you off with a brief warning, but it’s a small town and he doesn’t miss the way you hold his gaze from across the bar, and he certainly doesn’t ignore the rumours that the local barmaid has a little crush on the local chief.

“step out the car for me, please” his tone comes out a little sterner than he wanted it to. but it makes you resist any hesitation hearing the seriousness in his voice. he steps aside, allowing you to climb out and become face to face with him.

“chief, have i—”

“come with me,” he gently grabs you by the elbow, leading you to his car behind yours, placing you right infront of it.

“i’m not entirely sure why this is necess—”

“sh,” he interrupts, his grip leaving your arm as he moves behind you. you feel his mouth brush against your ear, “you got anythin’ on you that can harm me?”

his voice is low and hoarse, vibrating against the skin of your ear, and it makes the hairs stand up on your neck. you shake your head cautiously, still baffled by whatever has gotten you in a policeman’s custody.

“good.”

instantly, his hand finds the back of your head, pressuring your front half down, your cheek pressed to the bonnet of his marked vehicle, rendering you speechless. however, you let him move you freely. his boot kicks out your feet, spreading your legs apart, before he’s grabbing your hands and placing them on the cars surface either side of your head.

he presses himself against you, straight away noticing the firmness of something against your ass. “you know, there’s never any reason to speed,” he grips against your hips, patting up and down against your clothing.

“its dangerous. for everyone else…more so yourself,” he shifts, beginning to pat down at your thighs, giving the area near the side of your ass a firm squeeze. “and i’d hate to see somethin happen to you, love.”

he strokes and squeezes up and down the same areas more than once, whilst you’re lay there feeling helpless. he knows he should be feeling guilty, using his position of power to fulfill a small fraction of his fantasy, but he doesn’t. it only makes his cock ache harder.

“you gonna do it again?”

he presses himself against you again, this time leaning over you, his hands right beside yours on the bonnet. his head dipped towards the side of your face that’s visible. you slightly shake your head.

“words, girl. use ‘em.”

“n-no. i won’t do it again, chief.”

“good.”

there’s a beat of silence. you, lay confused at the speeding accusation and, how this interaction has somehow filled you with a feeling of arousal. and john, who’s just bathing in the moment of being stuck to you and the way you fit so well underneath him.

“you’re free to go,” he rips through the quiet, pulling himself off you and stepping towards his drivers side, leaving you to peel yourself off the hood, “but next time, i wont be so lenient.”

#this is SO american like we don’t even say chief in the uk 😭 but i actually have no idea what we call a high ranking police officer tbh lol #but yeah #this came to me at 7 in the morning #get help #captain john price #price x female reader #price x reader #john price #cop!price

A Palestinian citizen of Israel has been granted asylum in the UK after claiming he would face persecution in his home country on the grounds of his race, his Muslim faith and his opinion that Israel “is governed by an apartheid regime”. “Hasan”, whose real identity is not being disclosed for his own protection, has attended pro-Palestinian protests in the UK, and his lawyers also argued that his activism would place him at increased risk of hostile attention on his return. His lawyers said on Tuesday they believed the Home Office decision was unprecedented in the case of a Palestinian who held an Israeli passport. The 24-year-old is understood to have spent most of his life in the UK. He had claimed asylum to avoid being sent to Israel, and a first-tier tribunal hearing had been due to take place today. However, the Home Office unexpectedly caved in on Monday and granted Hasan asylum, so avoiding a hearing in which his legal team were intending to argue that Palestinian citizens of Israel were unsafe, and in particular those that were willing to speak out. It was Hasan’s belief, his lawyers said, that Israel was governed by “an apartheid regime that engages in systematic and pervasive discrimination, persecution and violence touching on all aspects of Palestinian life”.

Listen- any morsels of siren lore/content you provide, please know I am.just hoovering that shit up. Right off the floor. That stuff is tasty and is also watering my crops.

Your Siren AU reminds me of a book I was enamored with as a tween. It was called Ingo, and gosh, I haven't thought about that book in over 10 years.

It was my first encounter with non-tropical mermaids, the book takes place somewhere along the UK coastline. The way the book describes the lure and song of the ocean, how it makes you slowly forget your friends and family on land, gaps in your memory and you can't remember how you got onto the beach- was really mesmerizing and enchanting.

I know sirens are sirens, but I wonder if, upon romantic rejection, some sirens would use their song forcefully against their intended lover to lure them back to the ocean. Maybe not for drowning purposes, but more of a "I'll have you by force if I can't have you willingly" kind of way. Or maybe they just drop it once rejected. That or maybe they just eat them.

INGO????? INGO???????? YOU FUCKING MEAN THE BOOK SERIES I OBSESSED OVER MY WHOLE CHILDHOOD THAT'S SET 10 MINS AWAY FROM MY HOMETOWN????? THE BOOK THAT IS PRETTY MUCH THE SINGLE GREATEST INSPIRATION BEHIND THE STYLE OF MY SIREN AUS AND ABSOLUTELY THE BIGGEST REASON FOR MY GENERAL OBSESSION WITH MERMAIDS/SIRENS?????

THAT INGO??? THAT INGO????

THAT INGO??????????

#SOMEONE ELSE. HAS READ INGO. SOMEONE ELSE HAS READ INGO #dies #set 'somewhere on the uk coastline' (zooms in on my face like im on the office) #not kidding when i say that book rewired my brain

the wild thing about the beavers in omen of the stars is like. there’s no fucking way they wouldnt have been relocated

the lake was natural, so it’s not like “boohoo rich people too bad about your giant swimming pool.” the local environment was falling apart without the lake and youre telling me that no wildlife office was making plans to transport those beavers somewhere else??? people were set up taking pictures of them when the cats got there

#does the uk just not have wildlife officers. is that it. #do yall not have a game and fish commission over there

Met Police when it comes to dealing with sex offenders and corrupt officers within their ranks: *sleeping*

Met Police when it comes to the coronation:

#uk politics #british politics #very normal country behaviour i swear #like police show more effort with disrupting vigils for victims of their officers and a stupid coronation then they do for...anything else #plus yep...totally normal country #slowly taking away people's rights to protest #this is totally normal

Just FYI for anyone who doesn't know- this is a police liaison officer- sometimes known as a protest liaison officer. They wear these blue vests, and try to act like your friend at protests.

They are not your friend, that is super important to remember. They are gathering intelligence. They will try to get your details, covertly or otherwise, and listen in on conversations between protestors.

A lot of the first PLOs were FIT officers (intelligence officers) first, and there is also evidence of PLOs harassing activists at home: https://netpol.org/police-liaison-officers/

They've also been involved in assaults on the press: https://netpol.org/2014/02/04/police-liaison-officer-assaults-press-photographer/

They may tell you that they want to work with you, or to help protests remain peaceful and so on, but intelligence gathering is a key part of their role: https://netpol.org/2014/06/17/police-liaison-intelligence-balcombe/

Anyway, just remember guys- don't talk to cops, no matter what colour they are wearing.

Also, remember, currently, legally you do not have to inform police of static protests, and you do not have to discuss marches with police.

Tower Bridge

At this angle from the South Bank of the Thames there is quite a contrast between Tower Bridge and the modern City of London
