#Is Grindr... Not a dating app?

[theroundbartable]

Modern AU concept:

*grindr notifcation goes off*

Merlin: Arthur ... Why are you on grindr?

Arthur: Well, you said that I would return when Albion's need is greatest. But I can't do it on my own, so I thought I'll go and recruit some knights. And in the app description it says that you can find men on this app.

Merlin: ...

Merlin: okay then, carry on.

Bonus 1:

Arthur: MERLIN!!!!

Merlin: yes, Arthur?

Arthur: why do all these men want to bed me?!?!?!

Merlin: because it's a dating app. I told you about those

Arthur: oh... Wait, then why did you recognise the notification sound?

Merlin: ...

Arthur: Are you bedding men?

Merlin: I do have a life outside of you.

Arthur: *hurrying to open his phone*

*grindr sound goes off again on Merlin's phone this time.

Merlin: did you just match me?

Arthur: you can't have a life outside of me. I am everywhere.

Bonus 2: *weeks later*

Grindr sound goes off again.

Arthur: holy shit, I think I found Gwaine!!!

An interesting observation I need to report to you all from when I was out touching grass last month (hiking/camping): People in the real world seem to consistently react to me saying that tumblr is my primary social media by going "Isn't that a dating app????"

✨ Inspiration Saturday ✨

Tagged by @jesuisici33 and @911-on-abc. Thank you lovelies for the tag 😘

Today’s snippet is from the Rival Firefighters 🚒 fic and I’ve been having so much fun writing the chapter it’s in. I couldn’t resist making a moodboard for it either cos you know I love a good moodboard.

It’s been a long and hectic week and Eddie is extremely grateful it’s Shannon’s weekend with Chris. He loves his son and loves spending time with him, but Eddie is feeling so wound tight and needs to let off some stream in a not suitable for children kind of way. Halfway through the week he’d caved and opened up Grindr (he doesn’t usually use the app, preferring to make connections in person) and had matched with someone called Firehose. The name was a bit odd, but the guy was flirty and seemed fun and Eddie needed some fun. So they’d agreed to meet up Saturday night for drinks at a local club.

Eddie’s been to this particular club before so finding it isn’t a problem. It’s still early according to club going times, a little past 9:30 pm, so getting a car park is stress free which Eddie is grateful for. He hates not knowing a parking situation beforehand. He parks alongside a dark green jeep (or is it grey? He can’t tell in the crappy car park lighting and why is he focusing on the car’s colour anyway?) and does a quick check of his reflection in the rear view mirror before hoping out and making his way inside.

Firehose said he’d be at the bar and that he’d be wearing a dark grey short sleeved button down and that he was tall. Eddie hopes the guy isn’t one of those guys that says they’re 6 foot two but in reality are only 5 foot seven or something. Not that he’s opposed to short men, it’s just he prefers them tall and with enough muscle that he knows they could man handle him if he asked.

Eddie scans the bar and sees a guy that matches the description Firehose gave him. He can only see him from behind as the guy is turned in his seat watching a boisterous game of pool, but he’s very tall and his shirt is grey and stretching over a well muscled back. The guy’s hair is a dirty blond and looks to have been styled with something that has tamed his curls but has left his hair still looking soft. He has a sudden urge to run his hands through it. Maybe later. Eddie begins to move towards him and just as he’s about 3 feet away, the guy turns back to the bar and Eddie gets a side on view of his face.

“You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.”

Firehose, no, Buckley, turns in his seat at Eddie’s remark, a wicked grin lighting up his stupid smug face as realisation of the situation dawns on him. Firehose. The name suddenly makes so much more sense. Of course the guy Eddie was supposed to be meeting up with tonight was Buckley.

Trying to hook up with me on grindr is such a waste of time dude.

hc + phone for tommy

send me hc + word for some funsies!

Tommy's got a cracked phone screen, Andie is in both his home and lockscreen photos, and, carried over from his myspace days, believes anyone worth anything deserves a customized ringtone. Though, his app management sucks and there's no rhyme or reason to some of the things he has and doesn't.
