YES, the glee fandom just randomly made it up 😭 I think the Sherlock fandom might have also helped? I also thought it was real until @dilfdarren said something about it being fake. So thus the origin search for the word began 🗽

When searching for the origin:

1) the only thing about ‘glasz origin’ when searching that doesn’t autocorrect to ‘glass’ is an urban dictionary entry:

Safe to say it didn’t lead to much 🤨

2) when searching ‘glasz eyes’ you DO get eye pictures, but most of the people are Chris Colfer and Benedict Cumberbatch. (And a Percy Jackson character, but her eyes were never described as glasz in the books).

3) I started googling it as a last name meaning but still didn’t find anything.

4) FINALLY I came across this beautiful thing: The Etymology of Kurt Hummel’s Eyes

It definitely cleared a lot of things up 😭

Though this still didn’t answer why it’s spelling was ‘glasz’, so then I realized, “hey wait, if anyone would know this, tumblr would’ and it did. So I didn’t have to search for like two hours, but what can you do </3

anyways this post explains the reason for them turning it into the Hungarian spelling and not just the Welsh one.

But throughout all of this, a lot of the stuff I got was things like, “guys, I have glasz eyes!!” On Reddit and quora, and people on tumblr telling people they have glasz eyes etc etc. so it seems to have gotten out of the glee and Sherlock fandom, as it’s been used in other fics and fandoms and with real people as well. 😭

Hollyoaks 2017

she invented the key

EXACTLY, the fact that she would even say that smh 🙄🤚

Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (15th-19th January 2018)

Poor Courtney Campbell. As if being a disabled first time Mother wasn’t hard enough, she’s got Granny Campbell lurking around every corner just waiting for her to slip up. This week saw Courtney have to endure a visit from a social worker to check how things were going and Granny C surprised Courtney by making herself scarce. Unfortunately for Courtney, Granny C pulled a few tricks before she left and the results made Courtney’s home life look chaotic. With Courtney receiving support from both Leela and Peri, Granny C knew she needed someone else to help her convince social services that Courtney was an unfit Mother. That person was Glenn, who arrived at the flat to find the place looking like a bomb site, Iona crying and Courtney tearing her hair out. He agreed to support Granny C in going for custody, but only on the condition that she and Iona remained in the village. Granny C agreed, but later told Iona that she couldn’t wait to take her back to Edinburgh and show her off to all her friends. Friends? I find it difficult to believe that someone so insufferable has friends! 

Meanwhile, Glenn found himself with a problem when a delivery of ‘bricks’ for the school failed to turn up from Dublin. Wanting to help, Grace arranged for Jesse to bring them back on his return from visiting Liam, not realising that the bricks were stuffed full of drugs. Whilst travelling back, Jesse was stopped at customs and later found himself arrested. After questioning, DS Cassidy was satisfied that Jesse hadn’t knowingly smuggled the drugs and released him. Attention soon turned to Glenn, especially after he was beaten up and DS Cassidy arrived at the hospital to speak to him, believing the attack was something to do with the drugs. But, with no evidence, she was forced to leave. Luckily for Glenn, his injuries weren’t serious and he was soon discharged from hospital but DS Cassidy came calling again and told Glenn that she was sure he had something to do with the smuggled drugs and she would be watching him. Glenn shouldn’t worry. We may not have seen too much of DS Cassidy yet, but she’s a police officer in Hollyoaks and they couldn’t find their own backsides with both hands. 

Elsewhere, there was one week to go until Luke and Mandy’s wedding but whilst she excitedly prepared, Luke was desperately trying to track down Scarlett, the woman he’s still married to. With every lead he and Darren followed going nowhere, Luke grew ever more desperate and ended up destroying Mandy’s wedding dress in a bid to postpone the wedding. Mandy was understandably devastated when she saw the state her dress was in and she ended up kissing Darren when he tried to comfort her. The following day, Luke and Mandy attempted to patch things up as a social worker visited with a view to returning Ella to their care. Things seemed to be going well until the guilt over what she’d done became too much for Mandy and she ran off. Luckily, she returned just in time to hear the social worker say that she was satisfied with what she’d seen and that Ella could return home that day. Of course for Luke, there was the issue of still being married hanging over him but he insisted to Darren that he no longer cared and that he was going to marry Mandy anyway. Predictably, in true soap fashion, Scarlett chose precisely that moment to turn up in the village. Roll on the wedding!

There was some excellent news for Tom this week when his inheritance came through and he celebrated by test driving a sports car he had no intention of buying. The arrival of Tom’s money was also excellent news for Darcy, who was now finally able to take Toby on the holiday she’d promised him. Guessing Tom’s password, Darcy transferred herself £20,000 but her plans were scuppered when Tom was alerted to the fraudulent activity via his bank. Darcy had to think quickly of a new way to get her hands on the money and the perfect opportunity presented itself when Tom offered to give Mandy the £20,000 deposit needed to buy Nightingale’s. Telling Tom that Mandy had asked for the money in cash, Tom headed to the bank and Darcy was delighted when he came back with the goods. Later that day, Darcy, complete with her money, collected Toby from Adam and excitedly told her son about the holiday they were going on. As she entered the taxi, she was surprised to find Jack and Tom there and as she opened her bag, was left speechless to find nothing but monopoly money...

Also this week, Nancy was unimpressed to see Shane working on the school re-build and tried to get him sacked. Luckily for Shane, Simone was willing to fight his corner and he was able to keep his job. Shane was clearly very taken with Simone and offered to help fix her washing machine for free. However, Shane’s attitude soon changed when he realised that Simone didn’t trust him and as he left her flat, he stole a set of keys and later went back with Hunter, telling his son that Simone had said they could watch a football game on her TV. Simone soon returned and kicked them out, but not before Shane managed to spill beer all over one of her speakers. Shane clearly couldn’t have given less of a shit but Hunter was keen for them to make amends and so offered their cleaning services to Simone. As an extra sorry, Shane was even persuaded to gift Simone a new speaker and the pair enjoyed a little dance together. Seemed to me like Shane was taking the piss but apparently there’s sexual chemistry there...

Finally, Maggie’s family rallied round as they struggled to come to terms with the fact that she was dying. Scott in particular proved to be especially supportive but he was left shocked when Maggie asked him if he would help her to die when the time came. Scott was horrified by his Mother’s request and accused her of using him again. An emotional Maggie broke down and told Scott the story of why she’d given him up. Scott listened as Maggie revealed she’d been working as a prostitute when she fell pregnant and felt like she couldn’t give Scott the life he deserved. This time, it seemed like Maggie was being sincere, and Mother and Son finally made up.

5 Things We Learnt This Week:

1. Simone likes her mayo to be evenly distributed. 

2. DS Cassidy has set up a CCTV camera in the village and it’s capturing all sorts of pond life. Let’s see it immediately be forgotten about the next time they want someone to get away with something!

3.  Ry Ry’s got a new nickname. It seems he’s known as ‘Knighty’ down the station. 

4. Ella had to share a room at her foster parents and she wasn’t pleased about it. No one tell the poor girl that she’ll probably also have to share when she moves in with Mandy and Luke at the Osborne’s...

5. It is essential to take your top off when fixing a washing machine...

Rounding up a week in Hollyoaks (1st-5th January 2018)

Hollyoaks went all gangster again this week when Shane’s boss was revealed to be none other than Glenn. Since showing up again last week, Shane’s been desperate to get his hands on some money or risk being killed by his ‘boss’. However, things took a turn when Grace got involved, a decision which she would later come to regret when she was sent some photos of Curtis from an anonymous number and The Bean was trashed whilst she and Esther cowered under a table. The following day, Grace was left shaken when Shane’s stories of his boss’ behaviour left her believing that her Father, Fraser, was still alive. Knowing that Shane was planning to meet with his boss that afternoon, Grace went along in his place but was left shocked when Glenn turned up. Grace was horrified that Glenn had been lying to her and insisted that their relationship was over. However, the pull of all things gangster was clearly too much for her and she decided to give Glenn another chance. 

There was outrage in the village this week when Diane discovered that the rebuilt Hollyoaks High would not include a library. Horrified that the pupils would be forced into the modern world of computers and e-books, Diane organised a fundraiser and roped in Myra and Leela to help bake cakes. Meanwhile, it was the anniversary of Lily’s Mum’s death and Prince organised a day out to help take her mind of it. Unfortunately, Shane’s reappearance left Prince preoccupied and Lily was left devastated when he failed to show up.  However, Lily eventually forgave him and the pair announced to their friends that they were going to Vegas to get married, presumably with a little help from the bank of Tom. Whilst Yasmine and Hunter were delighted for the pair, the same couldn’t be said for Peri, who later told a shocked Prince that she was pregnant...

Although keen to keep her pregnancy a secret, Yasmine discovered the test in the bin at the Lomax’s and wrongly assumed that the Father was Hunter, something Peri didn’t deny. Although she promised not to tell anyone, Yasmine couldn’t stand to see Hunter celebrating his Brother’s engagement whilst Peri was so upset and confronted him in front of their friends. Unfortunately, Prince put his foot in it when he wrongly assumed that Yasmine was talking to him and for the second time in the space of a week, Lily was left in tears thanks to Prince. Of course, it didn’t take too long for the parents/aunties to find out and the trio of Leela, Diane and Myra, who had bonded over cake earlier in the week, found themselves brawling in the village!  As the week drew to a close, Peri booked herself a hospital appointment but was left shocked when she was told that she wasn’t actually pregnant...

Elsewhere, Sami’s presence in his and Ellie’s lives continued to annoy James and, keen to discredit the newcomer, he attempted to do some digging online. Meanwhile, Ellie and Sami were getting closer but she got upset when he began pushing her for information about Mac and ran off. Sami felt bad for upsetting her and later turned up at The Dog with flowers before opening up about his Father’s death. The pair ended up in bed together but Sami was left concerned when Ellie began talking about Mac and James in her sleep and tried to get her to open up about what was bothering her. Whilst Ellie refused to talk to Sami, she was willing to talk to Farrah for her research project. As Ellie began opening up, Farrah got way more than she bargained for when Ellie confessed to being responsible for the attack on Mac. Wanting to protect her Brother, Farrah told Sami that Ellie needed genuine help and suggested he stay well away from her. Interest well and truly piqued, Sami snuck into Farrah’s office and stole the recording she’d made of her and Ellie’s chat...

Finally, Tony discovered that Harry was working as a prostitute whilst Darcy made progress with Toby when she promised him a holiday using Tom’s inheritance. 

5 Things We Learnt This Week:

1. Farrah’s office security is shocking! She works with vulnerable people! She shouldn’t be keeping private recordings in unlocked drawers where her Brother can easily find them! 

2. Toby should be kept away from cake sales at all costs. Poor Adam was driven to distraction as he attempted to deal with the resulting sugar high! 

3. When it comes to baking cakes, Leela’s no Mary Berry. 

4. According to Diane, Peri’s a reality show waiting to happen. Bit ‘pot calling the kettle black’ if you ask me. Diane’s life’s hardly normal. 

5. With the amount of flowers he sent this week, Sami is surely single handedly keeping all of the florists in Chester in business.
