Yeah It’s Just Such A Wild Idea, Mel Gibson Playing William Wallace Like Who On Earth Decided That

Yeah it’s just such a wild idea, Mel Gibson playing William Wallace like who on earth decided that that was what the world really needed? I’m Scotttish and I’ve not seen it except in clips and even that fills me with horror and giggles.

I truly dislike braveheart and wish it wasn’t one of the films everyone names as ‘fave scottish film’

I will note that it’s entertaining to have experienced the difference between watching it with English coworkers and Scottish coworkers. English coworkers took it very seriously as a symbol of Scottish emotions towards England etc. whilst Scottish coworkers watched it and laughed at almost every single bit of it because of the inaccuracies.

This is unbelievably horrendous, I really didn’t realise you could get it that wrong, I mean wow!

We interrupt today’s anniversary posts to bring you, possibly the worst attempts at a Scottish accent-ever, from Scooby Doo and “A Highland Fling with a Monstrous Thing”

I looked it up on Youtube and they want £1.99 to view it all!!! If there is something I know about the internet if content is online, it is also free somewhere, so here is the full episode including bagpipes and Heilan Coos……

Wow, that would be amazing! Selkies are fabulous and I love anything with them in, especially since you’re writing it. Please do this, it would be fantastic! I’m a bit too excited but you’re such a talented writer and I know for sure that I’ll love it.

Need to get in an ask about orcas committing murder 😌

there's actually two in here! but the premise essentially is selkies, i just couldn't decide which version pleased me most. both are set in australia because Leopard Seal Selkies Are The Coolest, but one involves a lot more highly specific mythology, the other is more straightforward selkie time. the highly specific mythology one involves percy's dad a bit more, because he was not a selkie, he was ripped from obscure germanic folklore, about water shapeshifters who lure people to the water with their beautiful voice and are shapeshifters. they commonly take the forms of people, horses, and people with fish tails, but there's not really an upper limit there. percy had some shapeshifting abilities, but in order to use them he had to be Seal Mode, haha! i couldn't decide whether specific pr straightforward was better and i wrote a bit for both.

they both have the same basic premise of annabeth leaving california and moving in with her weird australian everyone-says-he's-my-uncle-but-i'm-not-convinced, chiron, and she works at a soda shop in town and tries to get her portfolio and life together in her spare time. percy comes once a week because the soda shop sells bright blue raspberry cola. there's love, there's a parallel with how gabe steals sally's seal skin and how percy willing gives annabeth his, and at some point annabeth is key in finding sally's seal skin and then sally gets to drown a guy. as a leopard seal. i admit it's pretty weird even for me, but isn't just a bit fun? to be weird?

I don’t understand how the hell you write so well, this is phenomenal!!! Will and Daegal’s relationship is so wonderful, especially Will helping Daegal through things he has been through- the empathy and sharing- my goddddd. All the little details like Gwaine’s dice gift really knit this together and make it feel so real. Merlin being the complete and utter mum friend was hilarious and very in character. This just made me laugh so much and really made me feel joyful after a stressful day. Thank you for sharing this with us, I adored reading this. I can’t wait for more, (I would love to have more Mordred and Daegal interactions, that tension is interesting) and you’re one of my absolute favourite fic writers.

the edge of seventeen [fic]

summary: Daegal forgets his own birthday.  Merlin has a conniption.  Daegal has a crisis.

context for newcomers: This is the next installment in an ongoing AU that @once-and-future-gay​ and I have been playing around with, wherein both Will and Daegal survived into Season 5.  The background for that AU can be found here, and the associated fics (plus one art post) are at the following links: be good / persistence / tournaments / daegal post-carpentry (art).

a/n: @once-and-future-gay​​, this was actually written for your birthday XD  I started it that Tuesday intending for it to be a very short snippet that I could post the same day, but I quickly realized that it was turning into a bigger piece, and now, a week and a half later, it’s a 10k story.  I apologize for how belated it is, but I hope you’ll accept it as a birthday gift anyhow - I figured that if it were up to me, I’d rather have ‘more fic’ than ‘on-time fic,’ so - happy (belated) birthday to you, and here’s some more of this AU for you, featuring Daegal and a wide supporting cast! ✨

Keep reading

I love that game! I’m super bad at lying though and me and my mates play it all together so I always lose but it’s super fun anyways.

I'm getting really good at among us and sat on me bed for a good ten minutes going 'oh god I'm a terrible manipulative bitch'

And then I remembered I'm a gummy bear murdering gummy bears and now I need a snack

Future archaeologists seeing my ridiculous number of souvenirs and weird stuff: “Well she’s clearly a fully-fledged hoarder or a remarkably accomplished thief or both”

don’t mind me just giving myself a crisis over the fact that, one day we will be archaeology .... just like the archaeology studied today & people may misrepresent us like we do them.

Baba, My Father, Has Chronic Leukemia. On Wednesday, He Received A Bone Marrow Transplant. Today Begins

Baba, my father, has chronic leukemia. On Wednesday, he received a bone marrow transplant. Today begins his fourth day of chemotherapy. The insurance will not cover the mandatory 100 days he will be staying in the hospital nor the hospital’s hotel room, where he must be looked after 24/7.

Please, please, if you are able, please consider donating & reblogging to help my father.

paypal.me/dareenm venmo: @dareenm cashapp: $cashdrn

(Photos taken before the transplant, one in hospital & the other while holding my father in the hotel room the night before he checked into the hospital for the next 3+ months.)

I’m really, really frightened.

Please help me, I still have cancer and my last post isn't getting me help anymore

Hi, most of you have probably seen my last post that looked like this:

Please Help Me, I Still Have Cancer And My Last Post Isn't Getting Me Help Anymore

So the post now has over 12 thousand notes, and as great as it is to have that many notes..

I'm not getting anymore donations or notes from it and I'm really scared that it's because it has so many notes, that people are just looking past it now.

So I'm starting over with a new post.

About a month or two ago I made that post when I had absolutely nothing, and through a LOT of peoples kindness, I was able to buy my medicine and get a months worth of cancer treatment done.. but now it is September 1st and here in a couple of days I will be out of my medicine and due for my blood treatment but I once again have no way of paying for it.

I genuinely need donations again!!

My treatment involves draining my blood, because of the Polycythemia Vera, I have too much. I am at a higher risk of a stroke, and with my heart disease ontop of that.. the risk is even higher.

My medicine, my treatment, all of that.. is working!! Let me repeat because I am so happy to say this, but the treatment that I have been getting HAS BEEN WORKING FOR ME!! My hair has been growing back, my energy has been coming back, I've been able to eat more, and I've been able to get out of my house let alone my bed more and more thanks to being able to have my treatment.

But it costs money, and until I am approved for disability (which I have a working case for) people like you, spreading this post and donating to me.. you are helping me get better!!

So please, donate if you can to my PayPal account. I tried setting up a venmo account as well as a GoFundMe page, but my bank keeps assuming it's a fraud and canceling my accounts. So PayPal is all I have right now.

Please donate or spread this post instead of my last one, thank you for reading.

P. S.

To those I promised a tarot reading to for donating to me, please send me a message and I will get you, your reading asap. And to anyone who wants a tarot reading for a donation, genuinally, just one dollar will get you a full reading of your choice. Thank you.

Sugary things all the way. If you give me an unlimited supply of crunchies, monster munch and maltesers I can conquer the world!

Buying so many writing snacks on my way home from work. I need biscuits and sugary things, no I don't want to be healthy, I want to be so sugar fueled that I write like Byron only he was fond of a different white powder that I don't want to try, also imagine me, a dorky idiot trying to buy drugs. They'd laugh at me and I'd get upset

Hey, you. Yeah, you. The one who hasn’t told a single soul, doesn’t have any pride merch, maybe doesn’t even know their own flag because they can’t look it up. The one who’s still on the wrong side at pride parades, stuck there with their parents or their church. The ones who have to call themselves slurs at home, who act like they hate us to the entire world and inside are screaming but I’m just like you. This one’s for you.

I know you’re out there. I know. I just hope this message reaches you, somehow.

Happy coming out day, dear. Someday, if you want to, you’ll wave your flag and wave it proud. I’ll be here when it’s safe. Until then, I love you, and I hope I’ll get to see you when that Someday comes.

According to Know Your Meme, on August 18th, 2005, Erwin Beekveld brought forth this work into the world. HAPPY TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY, THEY’RE TAKING THE HOBBITS TO ISENGARD.
