#a family units of absolute units

[justaz]

god i would’ve loved to see uther meet merlin’s family. he meets and knows merlin for years and knows how impertinent he is and the lack of respect he holds for royals and nobles. merlin is a thorn in his side but arthur is fond of him so he leaves him be. then he meets hunith who is so much better than merlin and doesn’t seem to be at all related to that bastard peasant until she tears him a new asshole without any regard for propriety. she is a country woman and uses language appropriate in the countryside, not the royal court. she is very clearly merlin’s mother in that moment made obvious by the set of her jaw and the steel in her eyes. then balinor gets carted in and is brought before him and he’s gleeful bc finally he can kill the last dragonlord. then hunith calls his name and he calls hers. dread simmers in his gut and then they kiss as he watches with trepidation. then hunith pulls back and tells him to meet his son and tugs merlin forward.

it all makes sense. the very blood running thru their veins is made to give uther headaches. balinor (fugitive, dragonlord), hunith (harbored a fugitive, lied to authorities, punched the king), and merlin (annoying, dragonlord) being a family unit just makes sense. when merlin’s magic gets revealed hes not even shocked. he just amends his list to read “merlin (annoying, dragonlord, sorcerer)”

Prompt 261

“So is no one going to talk about the eldritch space child or…” 

“I mean, do you want to get between a child and Batman? I think the only one who could even get close right now is Superman…” 

“No you’re right, I think- oh my god the eldritch space child is playing with batman’s bat-ears and he’s not doing anything about it what the fuck I thought only Robins could get away with that-”

Love (cannot emphasis how much sarcasm there is in that word) that an official Canadian government response to high cellphone rates is to switch carriers.

Switch it to what? We basically have three companies since one was allowed to eat the forth (with the government saying it wasn't anti-competition and the company eating the other pinky promising they wouldn't jack rates up). Even the smaller companies have to rent infrastructure from the Big Three so there's only so much they can do if that rent costs an arm and a leg.

And that's not touching on how many "small companies" are actually just subsidiaries of the Big Three. You may save $5 but you're still with Telus/Rogers/Bell.

Or that the actual small companies tend to have shit coverage because they don't have the infrastructure available to them and are prevented from getting it. Or their traffic is throttled in favour of the Big Three's customers. Or both.

Or that they're extremely regional thus aren't an option for a huge chunk of Canada's population.

We have no true options and the government has shown time and again that they're fine with monopolies, in multiple industries, and don't care when said monopolies jack up prices to make shareholders and the c-suite more money at the expense of everyone else. At most there will be a verbal slap on the wrist and a giftcard for $25 that people have to register for, for a decade and a half of price gouging.

It's not talked a whole lot about outside the country from what I've seen and heard but Canada is a country of monopolies. A handful of companies own nearly everything, every province has a family or two that owns a hell of a lot (Nova Scotia is basically owned by one family at this point), and our government ignores it. Even the branch that is supposed to be against monopolies is fine with mergers and takeovers in most cases.

Because, you know, the company said it totally wouldn't use consumers' lack of options to increase prices.

still thinking about chilchuck's daughters wanting dwarves for husbands because 'half foots are too scrawny and stingy' like. hm. wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that their dad is the half foot equivalent of 6'6 and did a stupidly dangerous job because it was high paying enough that he could spoil his kids and when he had some nasty workplace experiences he responded by rolling up his sleeves and Fixing Society (a little). man set the standards so high that his girls had to leave the species to meet it.

"What's going on, Curt, tell me what happened?"

"We had an accident."

"What kind of an accident?"

"On the bike."

"What happened?"

"You died."

"I what?"

At the start of this year I had a pink party so horrendous it genuinely became a multi-session conversation with my therapist.

This weekend, I did a pink party so genuinely full of love and happiness, it completely un-tainted the awesomeness of pink parties for me

Anyway I like being an entertainer, for every nightmare gig I do like, 200 amazing ones.

All the Provoking Performer x Sneezing Geographer shipping going around made me want to have a pretend wedding for them in the game :)

I of course dressed accordingly to the occasion. (And look Sleepy Traveller also got a flower crown! :D)

This is as much effort that I'm willing to put into this.

Somewhat of a fix-it with getting rid of the child bride LMFAO, but revamping it so Y!Tiki can still participate. And also a manifestation of how I think Libra/Virion/Lon'qu would be the most powerful if not slightly disastrous throuple (unfortunately no real interactions between them here, they're all too wrapped up in their own things!). And also a fuck you to amatonormativity.

Target audience: Literally just my sister and I think LMFAOOOOOOO

More mers! Brain’s obsessed with them again for a bit. Both clans are gonna struggle for a bit because none of them have current housing structures that can accommodate for Markoth. The pokemers are not small by any means - Adaman is large by virtue of being a Milotic - Markoth is just that big.

Also working out how to implement the pokemon here, as well as Ingo being hit with just how fast a mer develops parental instincts for young mers (he’s not realised his own developed instincts yet)

Dawn and Odessa hang around Ingo a lot since all three have been cursed mers (haven’t worked out the plot yet tbh) so Markoth just assumed Ingo was their caretaker and wondering how they’re decently fed despite Ingo doing no hunting (this interaction happens absolutely before Markoth realises Dawn and Odessa are communicating with humans)
