Is this Carmy suggesting there's something else between him and Syd?

He's echoing what Jimmy said, to focus on the restaurant, and Carmy is telling her the same thing- throwback to after Jimmy says he needs to give the restaurant his all, to put it first, all carmy says is he 's dating someone, aka romantic feelings, will get in the way.

a family bigger than 4! side story 3-1 (ref to ch 132,133,136)

I felt this would be a very Ai thing to do if she healed and grew more confident with a lot of emotional support over the years!

I went and reread viewpoint B and 45510 to study the source material and Ai is an immensely sweet person...I could tell. Just a bit awkward but she's so lovely

So I don't understand why the writer would make the choice to neglect all her wishes like that. No matter how I see it, the ending of this story is so far from what she would have wanted and I feel so sorry for her

I’m sorry you’re sick, but I hope you feel better soon! If it’s not an imposition, for the kiss prompt, could I please request Mether and number 47 (out of spite)?

(I clarified that this is Merthur)

It's been two days since Arthur's return. Two days since Merlin awoke to see a long forgotten face in the mirror and heard the call of magic from the lake. Two days since he dragged Arthur to the shore and pulled water from his lungs.

Two days, and Arthur hasn't said a word.

Merlin doesn't know what Arthur saw in the more than thousand years since his death. He doesn't know anything, because Arthur won't speak. He stares blankly at the things Merlin hands him: the unfamiliar food on mass-produced plates, clothes and blankets made in factories, books printed by machines and written in a language he can't read.

He worries that Arthur hasn't completely come back. Hell, he doesn't know why he's come back. The world's been going to shit at a steadily increasing rate, but Merlin doesn't know what they're expected to do about it.

"Arthur," he says, sitting on the ottoman in front of the chair Arthur is perched on, "what can I do?"

Arthur blinks at him, starts to open his mouth, shuts it. Merlin feels an old frustration rise in him that he hasn't felt in centuries, because Arthur is the only person who's ever been able to elicit the feeling to this degree and in this way.

"I've waited for more than a thousand years for you, you know," he says, probably too harsh but unable to rein in his emotions. "I've walked this world, I've come back to this place for you, because of you. And now you're here, and I can't even talk to you."

"Why?" Arthur asks, his voice hoarse and barely above a whisper.

"A dragon told me," Merlin says, and a furrow appears between Arthur's brows. "Destiny notwithstanding, I would've done it anyway."

"Sure," Arthur says, and the frustration floods back in Merlin's veins like an old friend.

"Yes, actually. I know it because I bloody did it, didn't I?" he says, and the unspoken question is in Arthur's eyes. "I always knew you were thick, but are you really that stupid?"

The anger that sparks in Arthur's face is the first thing that's given Merlin hope in two days.

"You think I would risk my life, wait a thousand years, and keep coming back to the same lake in all that time just because you're supposed to rule the world again or whatever? For fuck's sake, Arthur."

He lifts off the ottoman enough to grab Arthur by his borrow t-shirt and yanks him into a kiss. It's not terribly kind or tender, it's not the kiss he's imagined and dreamed about, but it fits them well enough. It's a bit biting, a little angry, and it feels more like a battle until Arthur surges up and buries his hands in Merlin's hair.

He ends up halfway in Arthur's lap, panting harshly to catch his breath, and Arthur is looking at him with pain in his eyes.

"I don't give a shit if you're going to save us all, even if we need it quite badly at the moment," Merlin says, curling his hand over Arthur's cheek and feeling something soften in his chest at the way he leans into it. "I've just wanted you back, you prat."

"Shut up," Arthur whispers, a ghost of a smile on his face. "And kiss me, you idiot."

horror movie set on the prairie once again immediately ruined by a lack of historical research into A. the sort of houses that would be out there and B. the protections they'd have with those houses that would keep wolves and other creatures out.

Like, first off, where is the sod house that would be accurate to this time period? And two, I know there's meant to be a supernatural aspect at some point (per the redditors who recc'd this) but like. Those are normal wolves; nothing has been established other than a poor initial storyline with acting that is...acting because it occurred on camera and I can tell they did their best. They're clearly trying and that's good of them bc the dialogue and overall plot aren't helping so they've got a Task on their shoulders (carrying this movie as best they can.)

VENTING

Rant under the cut (people telling me to change things about my blog [like the way I tag things???] and just general Rings of Power hate towards me

Hey just so you know, it's not my job to cater my personal blog (that I made for fun) to your personal preferences. This is a Rings of Power & LOTR blog. I am going to post about both because it's my blog. If you only follow me for my Rings of Power stuff, great! If you only follow me for my LOTR stuff? Also great! follow me for both? Awesome! Spectacular even! but like, If you don't like one of the fandoms I post about, then block the tags or just ignore it instead of going onto MULTIPLE OF MY POSTS and messaging me, telling me what to change about MY BLOG.

This is all because I tagged something Rings of Power related with a LOTR tag and a few people got mad at me (comments and messages) saying that "The Rings of Power isn't LOTR??? Can you not tag it like that I don't want to see Rings of Power stuff. I follow for LOTR" like what???

They exist in the same universe whether you like it or not?? And lots of people tag TROP stuff with LOTR tags too. Plus, sometimes I am talking about both in the same post (like comparing and contrasting things that are the same or different from the show and movies) so I am going to use both tags for that. Besides, why are you telling a complete stranger who posts her stuff for fun to make her blog okay for YOU? I make my blog and posts for me so... Maybe just block me and move on if you don't like how I post things, or tag things.

Also, it's not my problem if you don't like Rings of Power?? Don't interact with it then?? Like, you can control that? My blog is pretty clearly a Rings of Power blog. I literally have Morfydd Clark's Galadriel as my pfp lol

If you don't like it don't interact with it. I could care less if somebody hates the show I genuinely enjoy because it doesn't affect my enjoyment if someone dislikes it. Just don't be a bully and don't tell me how to run my blog because it's upsetting when the only comments I get are "I don't like this show can you stop posting about it," and "Don't use those tags pls I don't like seeing Rings of Power on my feed."

Cater your experience to you and I'll cater my experience to me. If you are going to be entitled and tell me how to run my blog, I am just going to block you <3

If you read this to the end, you deserve a The Rings of Power Galadriel for your troubles.

some men are textbook villains fr

[poeticsandaliens]

one of the things that impresses me so much about TMA is that I'm content enough with how the story went down and enjoy the cast of characters and their dynamics such that I don't have a single "exclude" tag here on AO3. Like yeah there's stuff thematically I don't read but nothing I automatically filter out when I comb through the TMA tag. No characters or ships that I really avoid.

[jewishcissiekj]

don't look at my star wars posts. that's behind me.

[issilya]

honestly can't believe I'm still upset at that "group of men laughing always means horrible things" post that showed up at my dash a few days ago? But no I can't let it go, I never fucking blocked anyone faster. I think it's just the part about taking something that can be so pure and positive as *laughter* and making it into something that's *always vile*. And I say this as a bitch who used to do a lot of ironic misandry takes but for the love of god how about you actually get to know men??? Men have always been the most supportive presence in my life and I will not take this fucking slander, I love men who are around me and nothing brings me more joy than hearing them laugh. Fuck that post.

Hate when people are sore losers in TCGP and quit the game without forfeiting solely because they want to make their opponent sit there and wait out of spite, what kinda loser ass "kid throwing a tantrum" energy to bring to a virtual card game

Anyways when people do this to me I stop playing nice and, even though they won't see it, I go out of my way to humiliate them and take down as many of their Pokemon as I can at once. If you play like a loser you're gonna die like a loser ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

current coping mechanisms for dealing with the reality of trans healthcare in the uk include:

looking at the wait times for first appointments with the nhs (bad idea) (it’s years) (the clinic is not accepting referrals)

researching private options again (bad idea) (i cannot even begin to imagine affording this right now or any time soon)

watching abi thorn’s ‘i emailed my doctor 133 times’ for the millionth time (if i say it’s for catharsis it feels less like shouting into the void)

yearning

anger (self explanatory)

becoming even more incentivised to pursue transition (despite the agonies) because at least it’ll be my own personal fuck you to a government that wants us miserable or dead

One of the most annoying things as an artist is showing your artwork and encouraging other people to draw too is those stupid ass comments being like "encouraging me to draw is doing the opposite effect bc your art is soooo good it makes me not even want to try"

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!! I DIDN'T GET THIS GOOD BY WISHING IT ALONE!!! FUCKING TRY BEFORE YOU GIVE UP! IF IT'S SOMETHING YOU'RE INTERESTED IN, YOU HAVE TO TRY BEFORE YOU HAVE ENOUGH INFO TO KNOW YOU WANT TO GIVE UP TRYING IT! BITCH!!!!!! AND DON'T TRY TO BACKHAND COMPLIMENT MY ART BY SAYING MY INTENTIONS OF HELPING OTHER PEOPLE DRAW IS FUTILE BC YOU DON'T HAVE ANY CONFIDENCE. NOT!!! HELPFUL!!! AND FEELS SHIT!!!! ASSHOLE!!!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
