Jewish Dietary Tip! Wanna cut down on carbs? Observe Passover ! This includes getting rid of/hiding all wheat/levened bread products, eating bread substitutes aka matzah 🫓 and other flat things, realizing you also can’t have noodles but rice is ok, and realizing how much you rely on carbs!

I can't stop thinking about my 19 year old friend, one of 604 soldiers who gave their lives for the people of Israel during these past six months.

I can't stop thinking about how they're never going to hug their loved ones again, or dance at a friend's wedding. But they also won't be experiencing so many *little* things that make life, well, life. They're never going to feel the triumph of sprinting to catch the bus and making it at the last minute, or the exasperation of spilling soup on their pants or the absurdity of meeting old highschool friends on the train. It's so deeply and incomprehensibly sad.

On Passover we remember the first organized attempt to put an end to the Jewish people. If I counted all the times since then, we'd be here all day. But this time, we have an army. We have a country. We're not going anywhere.

This Passover I'm thinking about the 604 souls who aren't going to celebrate Pesach with their families. And I'm hoping that their sacrifice isn't in vain, and that we can have seder and continue with our lives in peace and in safety. I hope we see all the hostages home safe, that the refugees return to theie homes, that we eradicate Hamas once and for all and see the Palestinians live under a healthy government.

For those who missed it, a Jewish man was threatened with arrest in London this weekend for being "openly Jewish" (that's a quote form the policeman who stopped him) while being near a pro-palestinian protest. He was then abused and harassed by protestors. The policeman said that the man's presence could lead to a "breach of the peace"

The police proceeded to release the most victim blamey apology I've ever seen - one so bad that they then had to withdraw it and issue a second apology

The original apology talks about a "new trend of those opposed to the main protests appearing alongside the route to express their views", and "knowing their presence is provocative".

The guy the police stopped was literally walking in London post shul. Not on a counter demonstration, not on a free the hostages demo, or a pro Israel demo. He was just there, and wearing a kippah.

Like I'm sorry but saying Jews being obviously Jewish is causing a breach of the peace when near a pro-palestinian protest makes it very clear that the police know that these are not actually peaceful.

I'm sure a huge number of people on these demos are not actually antisemites and have no intention to harm Jews, however herd mentality can make even the most reasonable person into a bigot, and frankly if people are afraid to stand against the antisemites, it shows that they now how dangerous the people around them are - so WHY are they still there?

I don’t remember what came over me when I wrote this but damn.

I just thought of some great Empires s2 angst.

So imagine another calamity happened, and Lizzie is the only one to actually survive(because she’s a cat and has 9 lives) and so she’s looking for other survivors, but the only person she can find is Hermes. So she now has to break the news to Hermes that his parents are gone. She brings him back to Animalia, where together they rebuild. Eventually, the ghost of Pix comes to also help rebuild because his whole thing is recovering ruins. Eventually Lizzie dies, as she can’t live forever, but Pix and Hermes continue to protect Animalia and share the story of the founder and Mayor of the great empire.

At some point, Hermes ventures out for a little while so that he can bring any survivors or supplies from the other empires. The only things he finds are the creatures that belonged to the empires, but he was able to retrieve some things from Stratos. This is before Lizzie dies, so when she is met with Hermes returning with horses, cats, frogs, dogs,llama, and much more, she decides to build a place of tribute to Hermes, not a place of worship per se, but a place where even if he disappears for a long amount of time, he will be remembered.

Eventually, the animals that were brought to Animalia become more like the other inhabitants, and the empire expands to all the ruins, slowly building them back up.

Many generations have passed at this point, the founders are long gone, but their descendants still stand. The world may have fallen to ruin, but the creatures of the land did not give up.

There are still stories of their great savior, her memory immortalized in books, paintings, and a statue at the center of the new world. The only evidence of humans left is Pix, even though he is incorporeal. The last god alive, Hermes, tells the tales of the past, along with his not-quite-undead companion, as they search the lands for new life, in hopes to keep the world alive.

im just too /pos for them ☺️

You’re meeting the friend of a friend for the first time, who’s apparently an empath. When they shake your hand, they immediately rip their hand away from you.

Modern Merlin Moodboards (Part 3) (Revamped);

Previous parts: Modern Merlin Playlist, Moodboard Masterlist, Modern Will Fic, Modern Gwaine Pie Story, Au, 1 , and 2.

------------------------------------------------------------

Character: William of Ealdor.

Modern name: William 'Will' Knightley.

Age: 37 years old.

Modern job: Professional soccer/football player.

Short rundown of their modern life: Will grew up poor in a small town in England after his father (who worked for the royal family) died for their country.

Because of this, he grew up without his father and started to resent royalty, causing him to move to the states the first chance he got after playing football for awhile after his mother died. Which America calls Soccer. Because of this he refers to the sport by both names.

Soon after moving to Nashville, Will started volunteering at Tristan and Izzy's Youth Center, where he went on to meet his wife, Elena. Who he fell for immediately.

During a vacation the two went on not long after they started dating, Will got into a tree chopping accident and was saved by a mysterious doctor, Merlin Everstone, who soon became his best friend and introduced him to most of the other people who he soon began to see as good friends.

When he and Elena got married, Merlin was his best man, and when they adopted their son, Marcel, they made him the God Father.

They are also the godparents of Merlin's own son, Dragonet.

Merlin is also the one Will seeks advice from when he decides to hire someone new because he finds that Merlin has good instincts. Which Elena agrees with.

Which is how they came to hire George and several of his family members.

Character: Princess Elena of Gawant.

Modern name: Elena Knightley.

Age: 35 years old.

Modern job: Horse Riding Instructor.

Short rundown of their modern life: Elena grew up different and was seen as a problem child by many because of the fact that she was a clumsy tomboy.

Seen as a problem child by everyone except her father who encouraged her to follow her dreams. So she did, becoming an horse riding instructor and a volunteer at the local Youth Center where she met her husband, Will.

Who would be saved by a man named Merlin who became a good friend of theirs and the best man at their wedding after he saved Will during a tree chopping accident that occurred while on vacation.

The man also became the Godfather to their adoptive son, Marcel, after they adopted him and they became the Godparents to his son in turn.

Not long after they adopted Marcel, Elena got back in contact with her cousin, Winnie, who she convinced Will to hire as their son's musicial tutor.

And now they're very happy together.

Character: Druid boy.

Modern name: Marcel Knightley.

Age: 11 years old.

Modern job: None. He's a student.

Short rundown of their modern life: Marcel Knightley grew up on the streets until he broke into the Knightley house, looking for food where he was found by Will and Elena—who took him in.

He's lived happily with them for the past 5 years ever since.

Though all is not perfect because nightly he is plagued by nightmares that he isn't quite sure are just dreams. Which has caused him to be labeled a problem child by many—which his parents disagree heavily with.

Even when he was oddly terrified of their friends for some unknown reason (which had Merlin cringing).

Character: Sir Gwaine of Camelot.

Modern name: Gwaine Jones.

Age: 39 years old.

Modern job: Bartender and YouTuber.

Short rundown of their modern life: Gwaine Jones was found in a field in America when he was twelve with serve amenisa and wounds.

When questioned, he could only vaguely recollect that he'd come from a big family with a mother, a father, and a sister specifically. The names turned up nothing and because of that, Gwaine was placed in foster care.

He ran away and picked fights often. Eventually, the system lost track of him due to him constantly moving around.

He hopped trains, rode busses, burrowed bikes, and hitchhiked to get around. Earning money in any way he could (under the table jobs, mowing lawns, helping people move, street performing, boxing, poker playing, etc) until he was finally able to get a bartender license.

Gwaine then saved up to get an RV. Eventually becoming a father of three, marrying Percival, and saving a doctor named Merlin Everstone in a bar fight. Reopening an old scar on his thigh that he doesn't remember how he got in the process.

Character: Sir Percival of Camelot.

Modern name: Percival 'Percy' Armstrong.

Age: 38 years old.

Modern job: Kindergarten Teacher.

Short rundown of their modern life: Percival 'Percy' Armstrong grew up in a big family with tons of cousins, siblings, aunts, and uncles for the first ten years of his life until they all died in a fire (that was later determined to be arson) that he just barely survived.

After he got out of the hospital, he was placed into foster care and stayed there for three years until he placed into a military boarding school by the state due to misbehavior on his end.

But luckily for him, some of the 'weird' staff at the military liked him so it wasn't all that bad.

There he'd meet Lancelot, who'd eventually introduce him to Leon and Merlin.

Who he then, in turn, introduced to his cute bartender friend (who he is now married to with kids and living in an apartment with) Gwaine.

Character: Sir Le Bel Inconnu from the legends.

Modern name: Gingalain 'Everard' Jones.

Age: 11 years old.

Modern job: None. He's a student.

Short rundown of their modern life: Gingalain 'Everard' Jones was the product of a one night stand between bartender, Gwaine Jones, and an unknown woman he met at a music festival.

9 months later, he was abandoned at a hospital not far from where the music festival took place only to be picked up by his dad when the hospital was able to get ahold of him.

Gingalain eventually gained a little sister in Constance 6 years later and a step brother in Percival's son, Lohengrin 'Grin' Armstrong 11 years later.

He now lives happily with his siblings, dad, and stepfather, Percival.

Character: None. This is an original character of mine.

Modern name: Constance Jones.

Age: 5 years old.

Modern job: None. She's a student.

Short rundown of their modern life: Constance Jones was a result of yet another one night stand between bartender, Gwaine Jones, and an unknown woman he met at a bar.

She, like her brother before her, she was abandoned at a hospital until her father was able to pick her up from the hospital.

Now she lives happily with her brothers, dad, and stepdad, Percival.

Character: Sir Lohengrin from the legends.

Modern name: Lohengrin 'Grin' Armstrong.

Age: 9 months old.

Modern job: None. He's a baby.

Short rundown of their modern life: Lohengrin 'Grin" Armstrong was recently adopted by Percival, who he now lives with alongside Gingalain, Constance, and Gwaine.

Character: Sir Leon of Camelot.

Modern name: Leonard 'Leon' Grant.

Age: 43 years old.

Modern job: Detective.

Short rundown of their modern life: After watching Percival, Giaus, and Gwen grow older and older while he stayed the same, sir Leon of Camelot realized he was immortal.

Because of this, he's been traveling and has kept running into Merlin.

Eventually, the two realized that the others have been reincarnated (FINALLY) when Lancelot was assigned as Leon's partner at work (who has become his roommate). They've also realized that it isn't just their friends because of Lady Vivian (who is now Leon's wife) and Princess Elena's presence in this time.

Needless to say, they're both scrambling. Trying to find everyone who has reincarnated before Arthur rises because they're sure he's coming soon (they're also trying to figure out WHY he's going to rise and WHY Leon is aging all of a sudden).

Character: Lady Vivian.

Modern name: Vivian Grant.

Age: 38 years old.

Modern job: Butterfly Habitat Curator.

Short rundown of their modern life: Vivian Grant grew up the daughter of a violently protective socialite and looked down on others—including her future husband, Leon, who eventually showed her that she was wrong for doing so and helped her grow as a person.

They became friends and eventually married after he saved her from a kidnapper and would be murderer.

Afterwards they moved into an apartment building with one of Leon's close friends and detective partner, Lance, where they met and befriended a friendly couple Tristan and Isolde.

Leon also introduced her to a friend of his named Merlin and she never suspected that the two were immortal until her memories started to trinkle back.

My exact reaction to this episode

starting ep 2.02 and WE HAVE OUR FIRST SIGHTING OF LEON THE LONG SUFFERING

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[shitakimooshrooms]

I will agree that some people write immortal Leon so out of character and give no explanation why, but as a Leon Stan I think it’s fun to just give the guy an extra edgy backstory, aka have him be a human sacrifice 100 years before Arthur, but then due to shenaniganary he ends up becoming immortal and marrying a goddess. I just like scenarios and enjoy coming up with deity figures.

immortal leon in fics is such pet peeve of mine leave immortality to magic bitches please... ik it's funny that he should die bunch of times and doesn't but it doesn't fit narratively for him at alllll he's not even a likeable knight.. and even if why would he and merlin interact after finale merlin dgaf about him beyond arthur association..

[shitakimooshrooms]

they have sm wasted potential :(

[shitakimooshrooms]

ok I love this. I am nitros on zutara. I think it’s cute, but (and don’t hate me for this) I like kataang more. But this was beautifully done. I could so see this happening, especially during the Korra era. All of Katara’s children are grown and have their own lives. Zuko’s daughter has taken over as Firelord, and her son is a great general. The new avatar and other world leaders are making the peace, and these 2 have known each other for so long. Toph is off doing her own thing, so the only other person who would know where they are in life is each other. And if someone tried saying “how could she do that to aang?” - Aang is dead. Korra is the new avatar. Aang probably would be thrilled that his wife and best friend got together, so now neither would be lonely. Also, if you believe the idea that an avatar looks like the love of the prior avatar, then Korra is a testament to Aang’s love for Katara. I think that they would’ve really liked just doing laundry together.

everything, everywhere, all at once
