The knights love and hate Merlin coming to training. They love it because Merlin is their little cheerleader and they seem to perform better when Merlin is there to cheer them on. They hate it because he never cheers Arthur on and Arthur gets jealous and shows off to catch Merlin’s attention which means that Arthur performs better when Merlin is there which makes him a demon on the field. Which means the knights have to visit Gaius after training to get new bruise salves and that one time when Percival had to get his broken nose set because he ducked too late when Arthur was swinging the hilt of his sword down because he was exhausted from how hard Arthur was pushing them

One night, you decide to put your phone under your pillow. When you wake up in the morning, your phone is replaced by cash totaling what you paid for your phone. Turns out the tooth fairy takes more than just teeth.

Me trying to write chapter 2 to a fic I initially planned as a oneshot

*emerges from the other room covered in blood* you should see the word document

I genuinely think the writers were at least hinting at Kaziver in S1 of Mighty Med, but Disney told them to tone it down.

Ok so I’ve been loving brilliant minds and one of the things I find ridiculous and stupid because they didn’t need to do that to her character, is Erika sleeping with her coworker. Because then she says to him that she wants it to be a secret and doesn’t want to be known as the girl who sleeps with her coworkers.

Surely the reasonable thing to do would be to, idk, NOT SLEEP WITH YOUR COWORKERS?

You don’t want to be known for that? Then maybe don’t?

to this day possibly one of my best ideas. someone get me a pitch meeting with the hallmark channel

young man. what is that you have found.

I said young man. you picked it up off the ground.

peeling those sour rainbow gummy strips into long thin strings and putting them into cheap energy drink to create something im calling battery acid spaghetti will update once ive finished it

this tiktok screenshot ruined my life i need to see the serbian pigeon movie so so badly but it doesn't exist it's so foul to make this bad of a point with something so cool and then take it away from me.

What's interesting to me about Jod and his relationship with the kids by the end of the series is that it's so in-between.

It's not "actually I've come to care for these kids and I will give up my plan to protect them" but it's also not just that he's evil and doesn't care about them.

He does betray them and he does a lot of harm. He threatens them and their families and their home in a very genuine and traumatic way. He brings destruction and danger down on their home. He does not make the turn to help them or side with them against the other pirates. He stays on his course, stays a bad guy.

But at the same time, as much as he threatens them (in the pirate horde, in the ship and on At Attin) and their family, he doesn't actually hurt them. (in fact I think the only ones we see him actually physically hurt are 1. SM-33. 2. The werewolf pirate guy 3. the supervisor droid). And I don't know that the threats are empty, but he's certainly very reluctant to actually enact that violence, and his plan might not have fallen through if he had been more willing to hurt them. He's not willing to stop for the sake of the kids, but he'd much rather get through his plan without harming them. And when he KB is falling and he thinks she probably died there is real fear and regret in his face. He didn't want that.

All of this is an outpouring of his misguided worldview. Because again, Jod isn't a villain who can't recognize right and wrong. He knows what Good is, he's seen it. But his problem is despair so he believes that Good is not worth it, and is not powerful enough to make a difference. And because of that he becomes the manifestation of the cruel place he believes the world to be. The good in him is THERE but its not strong enough to really change him, but it's because his despair doesn't believe it can be. And so he becomes the very thing that made him-- he watched his mentor/parental figure killed in front of him, and he stands there threatening to do the same thing to Wim and Fern.

But he doesn't, because he isn't quite the villain that the Empire represents. Even though the difference doesn't come from him actively making a choice for Good, it does come from there being Good still in him, even just in the form of hesitation. Good is still powerful even when he's denying it. And then little ember in him is not what saves the day--that's the kids and their families and the New Republic. But it is there and it does mean that even though he stays a villain there is that moment of Wim calling out to him, there is still that spark of hope that Jod can be saved one day too.

Was scrolling through AO3 and found this gem

Enemy to parent is a trope we have to popularise lmao

Things I expected when I started reading eleceed:

1) Cats

2) Action

3) Comedic Appeal

Things I was NOT prepared for

1) Whatever the hell Kayden and kartein have going on

2) Seriously their dynamic is so intriguing

3) Kayden calling Kartein the most beautiful awakened one living in my head rent free

4) Kayden somehow having Kartein's private phone number???

5) Kartein, infamous for not answering healing requests, shows up after 1 request from Kayden

6) Kayden always standing guard when Kartein is vulnerable while healing 🥹

just because elphaba is gay doesn't mean she's a friend of dorothy. in fact,

The Predator (2018) had no business making the Loonies so adorable. The scene in the motel where Casey is sleeping off a tranquilliser and the guys just put stuff around her in an attempt for her to have comfort when she wakes up to a room full of army (and three marines) guys. One even puts down a cup and saucer of what may be tea next to her. There’s a collection of little things and an alfoil unicorn.

Later in the scene they’re helping one of them who said something because of his Tourettes (played by an actor with Tourettes and the director wrote his character having Tourettes so he could tic comfortably in front of the camera) and they’re all like nah he said this and Casey’s like ?? Another adorable moment.

When they’re in Quinn’s wife’s (ex?) house and they’re all wanting to watch tv?

When Casey says the predator dog is hers now and they all follow along with it?

I knew I would enjoy this movie ONLY because of the little team they made and their adorableness. (And because I think Olivia Munn, who plays Casey, is pretty.

i hauve a cold

I’m so mad at season 4, how dare they kill JJ? I watched it ages ago and I was so furious. I went back onto ao3 to see people’s perspectives on JJ’s death and I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Since they did kill him off - and I stand by that they could’ve done that better, having Groff be the one kill him was so awful and I could go on but I won’t.

JOHN B SHOULDVE BEEN BAWLING. THEYVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR YEARS AND THAT WAS IT??????

It should’ve been so much more. There should’ve been so much more emotion. Yeah I get Kie is was the girlfriend but JB was his best friend for so long they’ve been through so much together and idk but I was hoping for a super emotional death, not just John B just kneeling there.

I was looking forward to more jj and shoupe content but that won’t be happening (thanks to one fic, I’ve absolutely craved more of those two)

I’m so glad the fandom is writing about those final moments and putting so much emotion into it, I love you all

I love kids man, I’m holidaying with my cousins and I’m in my own room and we’re all saying goodnight. On her way out my youngest cousin asks if she can have my shoes when she’s older. Unprompted?? Zero connections to any conversations over the last week? Blinking up at me?
