Matt: In case you are not aware, Dom is currently in a movie on the Hallmark channel in the US, where he plays a beautiful, beautiful, amazing man. But only in the movie. I'm kidding, he's okay.

[lydiashipsmalec]

Fan: you really helped me with my mental health, thank you

Dom: you're welcome. And thank you.

Fan: I'd say you're welcome, but I didn't do anything

Dom: that's not true. If you struggle with mental health, and 99.9% of us have, and you get inspiration from us actors, or the show, or it's a good distraction for you... You still did the work. You did that. You got through that.

(Talking about the Seelie Queen and Jonathan having a demon baby)

Dom: you and Luke would have a beautiful baby

Kim: I hope it would have Luke's cheekbones

Dom: I've often thought that. That if I had a baby with Luke, I'd want it to have Luke's cheekbones. He's chiselled.

Harry: Did he ever try it?

Jack: being nice?

Harry: Yeah, did he ever try being nice?

Jack: I bought you a pretzel!!

tricky words I always see misspelled in fics: a guide

Viscous/vicious – Viscous is generally used to describe the consistency of blood or other thick liquids. Vicious is used to describe something or someone who is violent. 

Piqued/Peaked/Peeked – To pique someone’s interest is to catch or tease their attention. When something peaks, it reaches its total height or intensity. To peek (at) something is to look briefly, or glance. 

Discrete/Discreet – this is a tough one. Discrete means to be separate, or distinct, i.e., two discrete theories. Conversely, when someone is discreet, they are being secretive or cautious to avoid attention. 

Segue/Segway – one is a transition between things, the other is a thing you can ride at the park and definitely fall off of.

Conscious/Conscience/Conscientious – to be conscious is to be awake, i.e., not unconscious, or to be aware of something. Your conscience is the little voice in your head telling you not to eat the entire pint of ice cream. Finally, to be conscientious is to be good, to do things thoroughly, to be ruled by an inner moral code. 

Hope this helped! Please add more if you think of them!

Nicola: Dom, pretend we're in a bar, and you're going to pick me up, give me a line. So this is my cocktail. Pick me up with a good line.

Dom: Hey!

Nicola: Hey!

Dom: Pretty lady, er do you want to, er, you already have a drink, but maybe when you are done with that drink, would you, I could replace that drink with one similar, or even more valuable, if you like.

Matt: Take me home!!

Dom: And then normally I'd throw up or wet myself and then walk away. That's how it goes for me in general. I'm single is what I'm saying. The main point here is that I'm single.

Q: bad pick up lines

Will: Oh, I've got one! I just go up to people and say "Hi, I'm Dom Sherwood" and it works great!

Matt: All right!!

Dom: As a bad pick up line? Wow. That's actually really funny, and might be the most insulting thing you've ever said to me, and I've known you for like 8 years.

Matt: Will is not the type to insult people for fun...

Dom: but when he does...

Matt: but when he does!

Will: I think actually happened is I was thinking good pick up line, but then realised it didn't work

Matt: So you were trying to say it's a nice effective thing?

Will: It was, it was

Dom: Well this has been fun for me, thank you everyone.

Matt: Will can't even shit talk properly.

Q: worst pick up lines

Nicola: The worst pick up line I ever had was I was at this hotel in LA having a drink, and I walked to the bathroom and this guy jumped out from behind a pillar, and was like: “Hi!”. And I said “Hi”, and he was like: “Did you know that dentists think that you should floss after you brush your teeth and not before?”

Dom: You told me you liked that, and I stand by that it’s good solid information that everyone should know.

Matt: This is a great pick up line, I’ve been sold.

Isaiah: He told you dentists…what?

Nicola: I know what it was, he was like “Do you floss your teeth before or after you brush?” and he had literally just popped out from behind a pillar and I was like “er.. before?” and he was like “Dentists say you should do it after!” And I was like “…coool…” and then there was this super awkward silence and then he asked me something else, and I… he asked me if I was from LA, and I said “I’m from Canada” and he was like “I guess I can’t date you then”, and I said “Well actually you can’t date me because I’m not available and I’m not interested.” And he was like, “oh, okay”, and that was the end of it.

Matt: No, it’s because you’re Canadian apparently. That’s the only thing.

Dom: Oh, you’re Canadian, oh that’s a shame. I was going to share more flossing tips with you throughout our beautiful love affair of the future, nevermind. Have a wonderful rest of your life. That’s just fucking weird.

Matt: I do want to ask a question Nicola, who flosses their teeth before they brush?!

Nicola: I thought that’s what you were supposed to do, because you floss it, and then you brush it off.

Emeraude: No, you’re supposed to brush, floss, and then rinse.

Matt: Yeah!

Emeraude: Brushing helps…

Matt: this is how wars are started.

Will: The thing is, after all this, we’re still talking about this guy, so he’s clearly done something right!

Matt: He crushed it!

Nicola: But if you floss after, then you get all the shit out of your teeth after and then it’s left in your mouth!

Dom: Language, Nicola, good grief. Swearing first thing in the morning, that’s not like you

Matt: I think flossing is primarily to improve gum health

Emeraude: Nicola, then you rinse…

Matt: It’s primarily about the gums

Emeraude: So when you brush you are helping everything come out, that way when you’re flossing there’s less of it in your mouth, and then at the end…

Dom: Well, if you want to look at it logically, brushing doesn’t get in between the places that the floss does, so you’re not actually loosening anything

Emeraude: You’re supposed to brush your gums, and then your teeth…

Dom: I don’t floss

Emeraude: …your gums and then your teeth…

Dom: Your gums? Are your gums up here? I’m watching the Emeraude example, and then you get the toothbrush and you go in your ear, and get really in there with that…

Emeraude: Okay, okay! Whatever Dom says!

Isaiah: I just feel like you’d be smearing the stuff on your teeth if you brush after you’ve flossed

Nicola: But if you floss after, you’re leaving it in your mouth

Dom: You know what, fuck the panel, this is what we’re talking about now.
