Love knows no bounds, but the law certainly does. In the modern world, couples often find themselves at a crossroads when deciding between cohabitation and marriage. While both options symbolize togetherness, they come with distinct legal and financial differences. This article explores the intricate web of laws and finances that differentiate cohabitation from marriage, shedding light on the…

my favourite LOTR thought at the moment is how absolutely confused Samwise Gamgee must have been when he truly met Peregrin Took for the first time. Of course he'd seen Pippin before, but he'd never actually interacted with him because Sam is just a humble gardener, while Pippin is the heir to the richest and most influential family in the whole Shire.

Poor Sam was most probably expecting a well-mannered young hobbit with very nice clothing (and perhaps a snobbish attitude), someone like Mr Frodo, or perhaps even quiet, calm Meriadoc Brandybuck. While both have a mischievous streak, they're still well-to-do and obviously so in how they act and dress and interact with one another.

There is absolutely no way he was expecting an absolutely feral hobbit-child with far too much energy and a mouth that prattles on a-mile-a-minute about absolutely everything his mind comes across. Or Pippin's favourite hobby of singing loudly in every possible scenario, or vanishing off to climb a tree or catch a fish in a nearby brook. Bare-handed.

This concept is absolutely hilarious to me and I honestly need more Sam and Pippin interactions, especially at the start of the journey when they're walking to Buckland.

my mom is one of those white women who would die on the cross to save pitbulls but she also has hyperempathy autism so it kind of applies to all animals. now for the last maybe 18 years weve had this turtle at my grandmothers house and the only reason we had it is that my dad (also has crazy autism just of the baseball variety) accidentally ran it over with the lawnmower when it was just born and decided to keep it. for nearly my entire life we had that turtle and we really didnt think that much about it- obviously we took care of it and fed it, but we didnt really pay a ton of attention to it or even give it a name, it was just "the turtle" "she" or at most "lady turtle". anyways after my grandmother passed away my dad ended up with the turtle which was no big deal since hed been taking care of it the whole time anyways so he was just like whatever well keep it at her house until it starts hibernating and then well bring it home

well. my mother got her hands on this turtle. now keep in mind that every pet we have ever had has been spoiled to hell and back, ESPECIALLY by my mom. i was also away at college at this point so she didnt really have me around to coddle. so now she has this turtle, this turtle that has been an unremarkable part of me and my dads life for almost 20 years, and she goes CRAZY. suddenly shes calling me at college and telling me all about Mathilde, or Tilly, as shes dubbed her, who now has a giant tank full of enrichment, that she coos at and talks to all day. it got to the point where she would talk about the turtle at our extended family sunday dinners. she knows what fruits tilly likes and doesnt like, and she talks to her like shes a baby.

but all summers must come to an end, and so tilly was soon back into hibernation. for many months my mother yearned for her turtle. however, she found a way to fill the void in her heart: research. for the past few months she has been obsessively watching turtle youtubers, specifically ones who rescue disabled turtles, because my mom cannot resist the sight of a disabled animal being saved (weve had so many at this point - we even have the holy grail of disabled animals aka a pitbull with 3 legs that she valiantly saved at my rabbits vet as a puppy from a drug money pitbull breeding ring. yeah its to that point with my mom.) shes been buying books to read, shes been going to conventions, she was looking at turtle enclosures on pinterest at my doctors waiting room yesterday, hell she even watercolored a turtle print she bought.

but finally today, after months of waiting..... tilly has awoken from her slumber. my mom has been anxiously awaiting this day for so long, terrified that her precious turtle may be ill or hungry or dehydrated... thank god, the turtle is fine because its literally a turtle and it hibernates without any issues every year. shes got this thing living in the turtle garden of eden, waited on hand and foot, and shes still terrified that a small breeze may come and strike her down. she drank a bunch of water just now (keep in mind, shes a TURTLE that just got done HIBERNATING) and my mom was "worried she drowned". but no, thankfully the turtle is alive and well.

all of this is to say that now that spring has sprung ill get to stumble upon my mom silently looming over our turtle for half an hour again

hi, i'm here to cross-examine liushen for a couple minutes. i'm SURE i can write a compelling liushen fic if i tried. it's not like shen qingqiu and liu qingge are uninteresting, so this should work. i should totally be able to do this.

first thought is perhaps a roleswap of some kind...? maybe if you switch the transmigrator roles between them? but i'm leery getting rid of shen yuan's transmigrator role, because that's a pretty big part of what makes him shen yuan... (though this does lead to a possibly interesting liujiu case where shen jiu is the transmigrator also and maybe they both want to kill lbh?)

wait! WAIT! what if we kill shen qingqiu.

liu qingge kills shen qingqiu during his qi deviation. shen qingqiu manages to save liu qingge and snap him out of it, but at the cost of his own life. liu qingge wakes up perfectly sane and with a body at his feet in lingxi caves. he is wracked with horror and guilt. he might not have particularly liked sqq, but that didn't mean he wanted the guy dead. after the demon invasion thing, he confesses to shen qingqiu's death, and everyone's like 1) well you were out of your mind 2) he probably tried killing you first 3) we didn't like him that much anyway, it is finnnne. yue qingyuan pardons lqg. yue qingyuan, by the way, is having a terrible fucking time right now, but pshaww we don't care about him.

anyway. liu qingge. he's having a shitty shit shit time too. he goes to sleep and has terrible nightmares -- memories of what really happened in the lingxi caves, of sqq trying to help him, of killing sqq over and over and over --

someone shakes him awake.

liu qingge startles and instantly draws his sword, because hey, bai zhan war god, it ain't the best idea to startle the guy if you want to stay alive.

of course this isn't really a consideration if you're already dead.

liu qingge wakes up to shen qingqiu's slightly-transparent face looking down at him.

that's right. this is a story in which liu qingge drags around shen qingqiu's ghost!

Loosely based on an ask I got, where anon asked what if Seb and MC's children inherited his habit of space hoarding the bed 🤣

okay, but, like, THAT'S how you do a villain story. in the FIRST scene, you watch him shoot a man in cold blood. the show tells you right away "this man is not a good man".

but then it gets you to sympathize - look at how much the world has stepped on him. look at how terrible the whole of gotham is. and even when he kills more people, does more terrible things, you still root for him. because it's fun to watch someone be terrible to terrible people. you root for sofia too, because if anyone deserves revenge its her, but you're rooting for both of them somehow.

and then the show tells you "when he was a boy he killed his brothers". but even still, you want to see what he'll do. the show is called the penguin, you want to see the penguin rise. when he lets his mother's finger almost get cut off, you pity him. he's a sad, broken thing. how could he be anything but bad? but he loves, so there must be something else there.

but then. but THEN

the show always told you: "this is the devil". but you thought, maybe the devil can make hell a little more bearable for some people. the devil is so often nuanced, sympathetic, complex. maybe he's like that.

you're wrong. there's nothing good within him and YOU rooted for him to succeed. you wanted to watch the destruction. and now you have to live with the consequences of thinking, even for a second, that he could be redeemed.

Plan A "Throw Hints" II

Damian: That witch girl isn't picking up on my hints.

Stephanie: What hints have you given her?

Damian: Well, I think about her a lot all the time.

Damian: And sometimes I stare at her for hours with no concealment.

Damian: I appear out of nowhere in the places she frequents.

Damian: We even had eye contact constantly...

Stephanie: Eye contact? I hope you were using protection.

Damian, thinking out loud : I can't believe she doesn't get it...

Stephanie: Yeah, unbelievable...

I like to imagine that Brom still got to see and participate in some of Eragons firsts. Like the village is sitting around a campfire and Brom tells one of his stories and little Eragon wriggles free from his aunts grasps and waddles over to him- his first steps. And Brom gets to catch him and everyone thinks it's just cute but Brom, on the inside, is so happy that Eragons first steps were towards him.
