Desmond Spellman. Greatest Male Witch. Wendy meets Casper the Friendly Ghost movie.

He is threatened by Wendy the Good Little Witch.

He consults a talking mirror, like Maleficent of Sleeping Beauty.

Scamming Cousins.

So.. I saw this post, and got an idea, so I decided to answer the call to action. fankid but they were "born" before the betrayal and before Ford went through the portal, so they ended up being raised by Stan instead.

Basically an AU where Nine exists and means that there's extra stakes for reactivating the portal. But also from the series perspective, the Pines twins come to spend the summer not only with their grunkle, but their strange not-quite-human cousin

I am listening to dndads for the first time and I get it now. I get the Scam Likely hype.

Listen, I'm all for staying friends with your exes ! Some of my best-friends are my exes ! But that's only because we are in fact friends ! And this sneaky classist woman is NOT a friend ! If I were May and a so-called ''friend'' talked to my girlfriend like that I'd kick her out of my house ! I feel so much anger about this ex I hope we never see her again ! (my wish will not be granted) (90% sure we'll see her again so she can be an asshole again. And then we'll see her again on the wedding day being all forgiving and forgiven)

the word terrorist has lost pretty much all meaning to me because 90% of the time a white person says that word its used as a shorthand for 'nonwhite people resisting oppression'

Jerra *pondering silently to herself after getting a "bosom-companion" talk from Withers*: Is everything that obvious between me and Astarion?

Also Jerra whenever Astarion engages the chaotic goose mode:

the drama that would have been averted with a few proper conversations between michael and tommy

i think the reason ppl get so uppity about you calling a scam a scam rn is bc they feel so powerless about the situation in i/p that they'll take ANYTHING to feel like they're contributing. they dont want to be the bystanders who have no real sway that they are, they want to be the heroes of the story, and if they dont at least have the scams to rely on for their image, how will everyone know how good of a person they are and praise them for saving the day???????????????

Some of the Greens are crazy. Oh Rhaenyra doesn't deserve the throne because she was a spoiled little girl that always hid behind daddy. She didn't 'earn' her position as heir. Like due, it is a medieval world and Aegon (the teenage drunk rapist) only is considered a king because he has a dick. Like even if Rhaenyra dutifully 'suffered', it still wouldn't affect her right to the throne one way or the other.

yeah, i mean i definitely have joked (i hope everyone realizes i'm joking, i do Not believe in the divine right of kings and generally i think most rich people should be [redacted]) about being ~deserving of power or whatever, but that's more in a narrative context (ie, Bran is on a Hero's Journey and He Will Earn His Ending Narratively, not that I actually believe he is divinely chosen - because he is but as we see in the cave in the true north, being divinely chosen isn't a good thing because the gods do not give a shit about you they want to eat you.

and definitely the most insane thing about hotd discourse (or one of the most insane things) is that people will really genuinely talk about rhaenyra not deserving the throne because she's ~spoiled~ and aegon has the right because he's the boy. and before someone argues "well actually we're saying-" no, i'm saying there are some crazy ass people who will genuinely sit there and argue with you that male primogeniture should be respected it is mind boggling.

but even beyond that, i find the "rhaenyra is spoiled she doesn't deserve it" thing to be a really disingenuous way of framing the whole conflict. first of all, No One Deserves To Be King Or Queen, nor, as you say, is something like that earned it's inherited. She doesn't need to earn it, she was chosen by her father and that's the end of the conversation because that's how shit like that works. and if you want to contrast that with the other people who are in the line of succession - whomst exactly "deserves" power? Aemond??? Daeron?????? "oh well Helaena" cool so you're saying women should in fact be included in the line of succession???? like, what a stupid way of framing this whole thing lmao, the only character who even marginally "deserves" power is like, jacaerys and rhaenys and corlys (and helaena) because when given power they don't immediately use it to brutally torment other people but when you say "jace would be a good ruler" people just focus in on the bastard thing and then I just kinda stop paying attention lajdsf. and beyond that, like, the heir isn't "hiding behind daddy" she is attempting to turn to her own damn father for help and that should be fine, actually??? to ask your goddamn dad who put you in this position to go "hey i need backup."

anyways yeah, every time someone is like "well the war is right rhaenyra doesn't deserve to be queen" neither did jaehaerys' bitch ass but he was the next oldest and got the throne because, ya know, deserve has very little to do with legal authority!

Untold Crimes: Group Looting and Group Murder of a nephew in Santa Ana, California. Abducted and kept hidden.

[sparkspropaganda]

scleroticstatue (the hyper racist blog) had one of those "all palestinian gofundmes are a scam" posts except the reasoning was that they'll use different photos of family members and still identify them as family members. Now how do you explain to a racist and zionist that sometimes people have multiple family members...
