The first ever "links meet" au I ever stumbled upon was the sweetest fic ever that I'm so sad I lost and haven't found again yet cause for the longest time that au was just 100% canon in my head lol and I still like it so much I want to find it again :( I remember it being actively updated back in 2014 when I was active in the zelda fandom (before my 10 year hiatus and me joining back again this year lol)

But basically the au played with the idea that hylia has like a special place in the afterlife for the hero's spirit, as compensation for their service to her and the 3 golden goddesses, so when a link dies the little afterlife space starts getting buildings or landmarks the link loved during life

So the au starts with ss!link chilling there alone, but he's able to see what his successors do from the afterlife! Then mc!link joins him when he dies and basically the little space starts getting bigger and bigger the more links die and join the little afterlife space

The only link who never joins because he is like THE hero's spirit is the first hero, and if I remember correctly ss!link tries the entire fic to meet him despite knowing it won't happen :(

Since it was during 2014 I remember the last link joining everyone was albw!link and I thought it was THE cutest cause the other links nicknamed him ALBY and like isn't that the cutest nickname ever

ANYWAY, i may have gotten some things wrong cause like...IT'S BEEN 1O YEARS LMAO but if anyone remembers it or if the author reads this, just know that I haven't stopped thinking about that au and that I love it with all my heart and I would love anyone forever if they find it again for me 🥺💖

The older generation in The Untamed all appear to be in their 40s or so—old enough to have children in their teens and early 20s, but also young enough that their parents would only be in their 60s-70s. We could reasonably expect at least some of them to still be alive, but JGS and JFM sound like they’ve been sect leaders since their kids were young. Where are the grandparents? Why is the whole jianghu led by middle-aged men given that actual martial arts prowess has no bearing on your standing within a sect in this universe?

SOME POSSIBILITIES:

All the great sects save for the Nie are ruled by men in their 40s prior to Sunshot because the elders all died prematurely somehow. (boring, overly convenient)

All the great sects save for the Nie are ruled by men in their 40s prior to Sunshot because the elders disappeared with zero explanation like the Entwives or something. (also boring and overly convenient, raises questions???)

All the great sects saved for the Nie are in fact ruled by men in their 70s, but they’ve used their cultivation to make themselves appear to be in their 40s, so they look younger than they are but still older than their children. (plausible, explains why nobody is balding)

All the great sects save for the Nie are ruled by men in their 40s prior to Sunshot because age discrimination in the jianghu is next level and the elders were forced out. (hella unfilial!!, troubling ramifications for the future)

All the great sects save for the Nie are ruled by men in their 40s prior to Sunshot because the elders all quit the martial arts world, ghosted their kids and grandkids, and are living it up at a commune together offscreen, partying and/or napping 24/7. (this one is real I think)

dont got the proof since discord images gets wiped after a while but apparently nikolai's va ships nikprice (he also ships colossuspool lol)

Yes.

Yes.

That's Nikprice confirmed canon, right? That's how it works. And the whole Barry Sloane "he'd read Russian poetry" schtick. It's real. Nikprice Real. NIKPRICE REAL.

seeing people say they're going to be pissed if mo has to share the a or jt has to share the a is like... do you guys understand that being an alternate captain is a full time thing in the locker room... and it's just an arbitrary rule that only 2 can play per game but it doesn't... do... anything. when mo was out for months, mitch and auston both got to wear it full time... were you pissed then? it's such a silly ass thing to get mad over some perceived demotion. like stand up, lmfaooo. it'd be so much worse to permanently strip one of them of it than to just randomly alternate and i'm sure the players themselves have no issues like ? cry baby things to get upset abt.

vox machina: half of a coed secret society currently facing university crackdown due to excessive rowdiness and flagpole scaling get a sizable townhouse; there they handle lizard escapes, child support requests, police scrutiny, many villainous professors, and members who won't stop getting engaged to each other.

the mighty nein: paranoid houseboat owners renting the absolutely cheapest moorings at a marina in a midsized european canal city band together against judgemental neighbors/local boat safety inspections/the concept of decay/ecosystem degradation in their waterways/their own dark pasts/two art-student ass cults; against all odds succeed at everything.

bell’s hells: posters on a queer housing page in toronto pack 6-11 people (depending on the day) into a two bedroom; ping-pong between icily polite spy warfare and cloying codependence, all while ostensibly working together to save a critically endangered species of salamander—end up involved in years old industrial drama opposing their friend’s shady mining corporation mom.

As Andrew McCarthy writes:

It’s telling that the Justice Department chose to proceed by criminal complaint rather than an indictment. An indictment can be a “speaking” instrument, reciting a narrative framework for the charges, but often it just states the statutory offenses alleged. To get an indictment, the Justice Department has to present the case to a grand jury — which might ask nettlesome questions, like: “Why are we charging a dead guy?” Because an indictment is a necessary step before a defendant can be tried, it usually conveys a seriousness of purpose, a readiness to proceed with prosecution. By contrast, a criminal complaint is just a sworn affidavit by a law-enforcement officer (here, as in most federal cases, it’s an FBI agent assigned to the investigation) attesting that there is probable cause to charge various offenses. 

In short, it is literally meaningless.

But could it be perceived as a strong anti-terror statement? Perhaps there is some symbolic value that might frighten Hamas?

Not at all. Especially since there was another similar action taken against another Hamas terrorist, and the US did not do anything to enforce it.

From the same Department of Justice in March 2017:

A criminal complaint was unsealed today charging Ahlam Aref Ahmad Al-Tamimi,.... a Jordanian national in her mid-30s, with conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction against U.S. nationals outside the U.S., resulting in death. The charge is related to the defendant’s participation in an Aug. 9, 2001, suicide bomb attack at a pizza restaurant in Jerusalem that killed 15 people, including two U.S. nationals. Four other U.S. nationals were among the approximately 122 others injured in the attack. Also unsealed today was a warrant for Al-Tamimi’s arrest and an affidavit in support of the criminal complaint and arrest warrant. The criminal charge had been under seal since July 15, 2013. ... “Al-Tamimi is an unrepentant terrorist who admitted to her role in a deadly terrorist bombing that injured and killed numerous innocent victims. Two Americans were killed and four injured. The charges unsealed today serve as a reminder that when terrorists target Americans anywhere in the world, we will never forget – and we will continue to seek to ensure that they are held accountable,” said Acting Assistant Attorney General McCord.

The US saying that they will continue to seek to hold terrorists responsible means nothing when it has not done nearly enough to extradite Ahlam Tamimi from Jordan - a country that is heavily dependent on US aid yet has not experienced any real pressure to send Tamimi to the US.

Both Hassel and brassius call their colleagues "dear" or "darling". Hence why nobody knew that they where dating.

Only poppy knew. Cause Hassel calls Brassius his dearest. He only calls him and her that

Also, they (Poppy and Brassius) are in an "Whatever you do to him, you have to do to me" relationship.

Like, Brassius wants to kiss Hassel? Well, poppy also deserves one (on the cheeks or the forehead)

Hassel wants to hold hands? Well poppy loves to be upped? (I don't know what you call the "Engela hoch" game)

Brassius goes for an hug? Poppy loves cuddling.

She also started to call him grandpa aswell, what lead to an 39 year old brassius staring at a mirror at 3 pm searching for grey hairs.

I used to be so afraid right after I deconstructed that I would return to the church. That suddenly I would have to leave behind this new life I loved and enjoyed so much, be sucked back into the tiny box that was my religion. Give up everything I was only just starting to experience. Delete my blog and block my new queer friends and repress repress repress repress.

And now four years later every time I hear a passage from the Bible it sounds more and more ridiculous. It looks more fake with every passing day.

I’m just so much happier

as this continues to be relevant yeah idk I just think this whole RiverClan nonsense conflict would have been less annoying for me to read if RiverClan had actually descended into true chaos. a situation like Redscar’s field guide story where several cats try to claim authority. but in this case, it goes beyond just two cats fighting and the clan starts splitting into mini factions supporting one self-appointed candidate or the other. the problem being presented as “we all forgot how to do chores without a teacher permission slip :(” is so weird and lame. give me blood shed eat each other alive so i believe your plight ffs!!!
