I Have No Idea What I’m Doing

she also refers him as ‘sleuthy one,’ in “sozin’s comet,” but that’s just as context-dependent as snoozles. it would be weird of her to call him that consistently, the same way it would be weird of her to call him by a nickname that implies he’s in any way lazy, when in fact, she is far more likely to mock him for being an overly-organized hard-ass.

aang is the only character who is actually bestowed a consistent nickname. while the epithets with which toph refers to katara follow a generally consistent pattern—first ‘sugar queen’ in “the chase,” then ‘sweetness’ in “the earth king,” and (my personal favorite) ‘madame fussy britches’ in “the runaway”—she never uses the same nickname twice. she refers to suki as ‘honey’ in “sozin’s comet,” but i wouldn’t even call that a nickname per se. and zuko’s only nickname by a member of the gaang, ‘sifu hotman,’ is coined by aang, not toph. with the sole exception of aang, toph primarily refers to her friends by their names, and only uses nicknames in specific contexts, when the occasion actually calls for her to employ a mocking epithet.

however, if toph were to refer to sokka by a consistent nickname, the obvious contender is clearly ‘captain boomerang.’ although it’s a somewhat silly name, it’s evident through her tone when she calls him that in “sozin’s comet” that it is sincere. when she is hanging on to his hand and says “aye aye, captain,” she is not being remotely sarcastic; she is expressing dire fear for their lives, but she trusts him completely. even the shit ass comics are able to recognize that this is toph’s ultimate nickname for sokka, because it represents how she truly views him. beneath her irreverent recalcitrance, toph clearly holds a lot of respect, fondness, and admiration for sokka as a friend and as a leader. she does not think of him as ‘snoozles’; she thinks of him as her captain.

I was inspired by the black-out poems made by @playing-with-colors and decided to apply it to the locked tomb series!

A WhatsApp message has made the rounds in the Reform UK Party, sent to activists from the Greater Manchester area, to reroute all available resources to Clacton. This apparently came from the top, from Nigel Farage himself.

“The message could not be more clear. We now need all of our fantastic activists, branch officers and councillors to come and help us in Clacton.”

They could have won Makerfield; it would have taken a bit of work, but it would have been possible. Instead, Nigel Farage has decided to pull all his assets out of the Greater Manchester area because he is afraid to lose to Count Binface.

The local unrest in Clacton has been shown on social media for months now. The people of Clacton are unhappy with Farage. Is it all of them? No, but it is a large enough portion to make Nigel Farage panic.

Meanwhile, because the election hasn't even started yet, the people of Clacton lack an official poster campaign from Count Binface. As a result, they have reportedly started making, printing, and distributing posters for Count Binface on their own.

This is not to mention the graffiti reportedly found all over Clacton.

The people of Clacton are upset with their current MP, Nigel Farage, for not being there for them, not helping the impoverished town, and not even answering emails from his own constituents.

Nigel Farage is afraid of losing at Clacton because of his own mismanagement.

It's HIGHLY unlikely that he'll have a leadership debate with Count Binface, but I really really want him to because Binface in his regular job is a professional comedy writer and he's extremely fast when it comes to making jokes at other people's expenses.

For example, when a rude political journalist from Sky News was pushed into talking to him at the recent Andy Burnham election expecting him to be a crank and discovering quickly that wasn't the case.

"What do you offer the people of Clacton?"

"Well I'm not Nigel Farage."
