I Understand That 'Yefreitor' Is A Modifier Added To A Rank When You Refuse A Promotion. And That 'Detective'

I understand that 'Yefreitor' is a modifier added to a rank when you refuse a promotion. And that 'Detective' works basically the same way (except that the way you acquire it is kess clear). But I'm still unsure about satellite-officer. Is it a modifier ? Because no one is calling Jean anything else. We know that you become Satellite-officer if your partner is promoted and 'you rise with him'. But does it replace your actual rank? Are all Satellite-officer equals? MacLaine is also a Satellite-officer, but his partner is a sergeant, so does Jean outrank him even though their titles are EXACTLY THE SAME? How do people know?

And if it is a modifier if another rank, why not say the rank like they do with Yefreitor? Like Lieutenant-Satellite.

It's just such a weird rank to have. Have they been promoted but they have to keep the Satellite designation to remember where they come from? You can be a Lieutenant[normal], a Lieutenant [Yefreitor][complimentory] or a Lieutenant [Satellite][derogatory] ? How do you get rid of the modifier that says 'you're not that good but this other guy is, so... ' ?If you change partner, are you demoted? To a rank below? To the last rank that you held on your own?

Incredibly confusing hierarchical system.

With Jane Austen being a possible inspiration for Good Omens season 2, there has been some speculations about what parallels could be drawn between main couple in Jane Austen’s books and our heroes. Pride and Prejudice has been floated around, which is not surprising since it’s the most famous of her works. Others speculate that Emma might be a good fit for Aziraphale, since he is apparently a landlord and meddles in the love life of humans. Persuasion is also a likely candidate, full of pining as it is. All of them possibilities, all of them good choices. However, I would like to put Northanger Abbey forward, for two reasons: 1. It’s funny as hell. 2. It contains the following quote:

“[T]hough Henry was now sincerely attached to her, though he felt and delighted in all the excellencies of her character and truly loved her society, I must confess that his affection originated in nothing better than gratitude, or, in other words, that a persuasion of her partiality for him had been the only cause of giving her a serious thought. It is a new circumstance in romance, I acknowledge, and dreadfully derogatory of an heroine's dignity; but if it be as new in common life, the credit of a wild imagination will at least be all my own.”

And I’m sorry to say, but I do think it applies here.

Seconding the recommendation for the Critshow, but to give some more mainstream examples, there's also Jack Harkness from Doctor Who and Torchwood, Hob Gabling from Sandman, and a character from Misfits whose name I can't remember because it's been years.

immortality through not being incapable of death but by coming back to life after you die no matter what is such a cool power like it’s just so fucking metal. you can rip me apart if you want, i’ll rise from my own viscera and all you’ll have done is piss me off

I started watching this video, looked at the chapters in the description, saw that one was called OH GOD HE'S BACK, and for a moment was gripped by the certainty that it was going to be Somerton somehow. ( To be clear, it's not).

New Philosophy Tube premieres tonight at 1800 British time!

I'll be in the live chat from 1730!!!

Obsessed with the first season of Malevolent, still. They literally share a single brain cell. They’re both the same flavor of narcissistic, except one is a fragment of an eternal eldritch god and the other is Just A Guy. One is a monster (kind of) and the other is like, the opposite of a monsterfucker, he thinks he can Fix Him. Neither of them have ever been this vulnerable before and their solution is to just pretend it’s not happening. They would kill for each other. They will die for each other. They make terrible decisions and blame each other for the consequences. They imprint their own personality traits on each other like hickeys. They want each other out of their lives this very instant. They wouldn’t know what to do with themselves alone. If they both had mouths they would definitely have kissed AND bitten each other days ago. They have only known each other for a week.
