Without you, There is no me

After the battle with Imhotep the Medjai return home to their beloveds. Even Ardeth has someone waiting for him.

Warnings: None

Author’s Note: Hello! This was a requested fic. Unfortunately my tumblr acted up and ate up the request and I can’t exactly recall who sent it, so if you’re the person who told me they loved the way I wrote Ardeth Bay and that they wanted a fluffy romantic fic with a fem reader, please do dm me and I’ll tag you in this fic. Also, thank you for your lovely request, I tried to encapsulate the feelings I felt while reading your request and apologies in advance if this is a little shorter than usual.

The sun slowly melted into the golden dunes of the desert as the sky was bathed in a heady mix of crimson, tangerine and mahogany. The hot desert air slowly cooling as the glowing rays faded, descending further into the horizon. Darkness descended over the camp as the stars arose, twinkling gently alongside the moon.

The plagues upon the land had disappeared, the Medjai officials in the government working swiftly to cover up its mystical origins, yet the only word the Medjai camp had received was that the warriors were coming home and that Imhotep had been imprisoned once more.

A woman paced within her tent, constantly glancing at the entrance before returning to pacing. Eventually she tired, laying against her soft mattress and watching the entrance with rapt eyes. Breathing slowly, she rubbed her hands against her swelling stomach, impatience thrumming through her veins. As the sky changed shades and the moon illuminated her doorway her breathing slowed and her body relaxed, her bodily aches momentarily forgotten as her mind escaped into the chasm of dreams where she dreamt of warm arms and ebony irises.

She was slowly drawn from her slumber by feathery kisses upon her cheeks. Groggily opening her eyes she saw the face of the man she adored. His lips drawn into a smile as he gazed at her.

“Hello sweet wife,” he whispered with a husky voice.

“Ardeth?” She whispered full of disbelief.

“I’m here,” he said, smiling at his wife.

Overjoyed at his presence she pulled him to her arms, her grip around him tightening and unwilling to let go.

“I thought you’d- I thought-“ she stuttered out, sniffling as her mind brought forward her worst fears.

Rubbing her back he soothed her, “Shhh, it’s okay. I’m back and no one, not even an ancient mummy or Anubis himself could keep me away from you.”

Pulling away from her, he gazed into her eyes, vowing, “You, my sweet wife, are my very life. The air within my lungs and the sand beneath my feet. Without you, there is no me and I will never let you or our little one go.” Saying this he bent towards her stomach before placing soft kisses along her skin, feeling the little flutters of their baby’s movement along his hand he whispered, “I’m here, little one. I won’t leave you.”

Slowly moving away he cradled his wife against his body as he told her the tales of his recent death-defying adventure and as the stars looked down at the lovely couple, the desert breathed peace.

I am 1000% convinced that they created Osiris specifically to be voiced by Oded Fehr, and to somewhat resemble his role in the Medjai.

Imhotep is not the villain of The Mummy (1999)

I have decided Imhotep isn't really the villain of The Mummy (1999).

He and Anck-su-namun fall in love. She's clearly as into it as he is. But the Pharaoh decides she is his woman. To hell with what she wants.

Faced with death for the crime of believing she has the right to choose her lover, they strike first. The only good aristocrat is a dead aristocrat, so it's hard to hate them for that.

Yes, he attempts to bring her back from the dead, but there's no real indication that this is in any way some great and terrible threat to the world. We're just supposed to have a knee-jerk "necromancy bad" reaction.

For this he is condemned to an eternity of torment. And the Pharaoh's bodyguard turns into a hereditary order determined to ensure that his decision to deny a woman's autonomy outlives him by millennia.

And sure, ok. When released Imhotep goes on a rampage. 10 plagues and all that. But...

Anyone would be pissed off after being subjected to 3000 years of cursed torment.

It's stated that the curse itself is what made him so powerful.

To recap. If the Pharaoh had respected a woman's right to choose he wouldn't have been murdered, there would've been no reason for anyone to attempt necromancy, and there would've been no creation of a powerfully cursed being capable of visiting plagues upon the land.

As much as I loved “The Mummy Returns” as a kid, it’s lowkey hilarious watching it now as an adult. And not the parts meant to be funny, I mean the parts meant to be taken seriously:

1) Rick O’Connell suddenly has a backstory where he’s descended from Medjay warriors. Like, he was just some dude in the first one, now he’s some chosen one destined to stop the Scorpion King.

2) Speaking of retcons, Evelyn O’Connell suddenly has a backstory where she’s a reincarnation of Nefertiti and that she just so happens to be the one who ordered the Medjay to stop Imhotep and Anck-Su-Namun. She literally was just a random librarian in the first movie who stumbled upon the map to Hamunaptra. 

3) Ardeth Bay somehow knows where the O’Connells live even though he stayed behind in Egypt at the end of the first movie.

4) The awkward smash cut from the Scorpion King dominating the first battle to his forces having lost the war. It’s like they focused too much on making Dwayne Johnson look as badass as possible that they forgot the Scorpion King was supposed to lose the conflict. 

5) Jonathan’s golden stick thing he found just so happens to be the Spear of Osiris, the one thing that can kill the Scorpion King. 

6) Two awkward shots; Meela Nais killing herself to bring back Anck-Su-Namun and Imhotep running in right after Rick stabs the Scorpion King. Those shots are just unintentionally hilarious. 

7) The CGI. Oh lord, the CGI. 

8) This might just be me missing an important detail but the rules regarding resurrections are inconsistent. So, to resurrect Anck-Su-Namun, they needed a human sacrifice. But when Alex resurrects Evelyn, all he needed to do was read the correct phrases. I don’t know, this was just funny to me. 

9) As soon as Alex puts the bracelet on, the Rock’s mouth just bursts out towards the camera. Like, how can you expect an audience to focus on the rest of the scene when that’s how the scene starts.
