Let's go with "waves of tomorrow" for the made up fic title (yeah, I picked something random)

This is absolutely a Chenford reconciliation fic, where they make up on the beach. Probably Tim packs a picnic basket, definitely he brings a couple mini bottles of wine, they sit on the sand and talk long into the night until things are worked out between them.

send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it

Boo!👻 Trick or treat!🎃

Siiiiiiiiiiiif! <333 Thank you so much! But I'm gonna be honest, I don't celebrate Halloween, and I never did, so I don't really know what to do, other than hug you! Is that okay? Does it count as a treat? Doesn't matter, you are one. Thank you, sending you all the love! xoxox

Hi, I've seen you reblog Kaamelott and was wondering if you knew where I could watch it?🤣 I've been told by multiple people to check it out but I don't even know where to start😂

Oh hi, well your friends are tasteful people, Kaamelott is a must-watch lol!! 😂

If you're looking for a legal way of watching it, apparently it's available on apple TV, and I'm pretty sure that it should also be streamable from the M6 website although idk if all six seasons and hundreds of eps are all available there, and if you can watch them for free. Looks like you can also buy them from YouTube.

Now as a piracy-enthusiast for more than ten years, I'm pretty terrible at finding legal ways to watch stuff, so if you're interested in a more, um, reprehensible way to watch the show, please feel free to DM me, I'll be delighted to hook you up with all sorts of links and tips that I won't post publicly here because I'm not sure tumblr would allow me to 😂

And another one: top five movies

Okay this one is going to be a lot shorter lol (hopefully) i need to make it clear that these are completely subjective, these are not what i think the best movies of all time are (i'm not sure what those are) these are just MY personal favorites

#1: Mad Max Fury Road. I could sit here and explain why its so good but Patrick H Willems and Movies With Mikey from youtube have already done that for me so here you go <3 also tom hardy and charlize theron. every bisexuals dream

these next three are in no particular order (and also, I think they all find a nice balance between spectacle and story, a la the Patrick H Willems video

Cinderella (2015): kindness is bravery and so is 'to be seen as we truly are' also its just visually gorgeous, it really genuinely looks and feels like a fairytale. also im in love with lily james and richard madden

Into The Spider-Verse (2018): art. just art. THEY INVENTED A NEW KIND OF ANIMATION FOR THIS. and the story! anyone can wear the mask! phenomenal film.

Set It Up (2018): I fell in love with this movie the moment I watched it. love some shenanigans. zoey deutch and glen powell are so fun. The first quality romcom of the modern age imo (so, post '00s), and haven't seen a better one since

#5: Baby Driver (2017) it sucks that like half the cast are terrible ppl :/ but the way the music is used in this movie is incredible. this one is #5 because I think the specacle/story ratio is a little imbalanced, the story isn't as strong. but what they endeavored to do here is absolutely incredible

Bonus: Knives Out (2019) & Glass Onion (2022). absolutely delightful movies. i love a good murder mystery and I love the story in these. another good balance between spectacle/story. also I want to put benoit blanc in a glass jar and shake it. daniel craig is endlessly entertaining in these movies, incredible performances by him

Bonus 2: The Nice Guys (2016) 'cause I saw a gif set for it the other day and its Christmastime and I feel like not as many people know about this movie as they should (maybe im wrong)

Bonus 3: The Fabelmans (2022) is my favorite new movie I've watched recently. such an excellent film that has so much heart in it. Steven Spielberg i love you

Z cause I think that's super interesting (for the movie asks)

(movie asks)

Z. A movie you wish you liked more

I had really high hopes for The Day the Earth Stood Still because I really loved Forbidden Planet and other sci fi movies I've seen from the era but I ended up finding it kinda dry and boring.

This might sound weird but can you (or maybe some of your followers, if you don't have any idea) think of some moon themed platonic prompts? Moon/stargazing is a little basic, so I'm searching for cooler things (relationship is unimportant sisters/mentor-mentee/whatever doesn't matter, just shoot all you got :) ) thank you so much if you decide to answer this one 💕

This song (it’s intended to be romantic but interpreting romantic songs platonically is a hobby of mine)

Going on nighttime walks, because even ordinary places look so magical when they’re moonlit

Person A being a major space geek and spouting off moon facts at a mile a minute to B, who knows nothing about space but loves seeing A happy

Matching moon and sun necklaces for friends

Or, moon and stars necklaces for mother-daughter pairs

Cute space nicknames (moonbeam, starshine, space-child)

This (angsty) song (seriously, if you want sisterly moon angst, the MLP fandom has you covered)

22 and buddie for the ship spotify wrapped thing

22. Christmas Lights - Zach Seabaugh

it's like leaving up my Christmas lights in June, it's embarrassing how long I'll wait for you

send me a number (1–100) and a ship and I’ll give you the lyrics from that song that remind me of them

Sooooooo from someone who spends too much time researching name meanings before naming their characters to someone who knows too much about names (jk, you can never know too much, I just thought using superlatives would be fun, and yes, I know "too x" isn't even a superlative, just let me have this 🤣):

Thoughts on the naming of 911 characters? And skdhflsdhf if you wanna add some shippy thoughts to it, go ahead😂💕

LOL Hon, can I just mention how much I love that we have in common the whole spending too much time researching name meanings before naming a character thing? XD And you know you can always consult me whenever you want to! My brain is full of redundant information and someone should take advantage of that!

I wanted to do this properly, so I ended up making a whole goddamn post about name meanings for 911 characters, including a few gifs. Sorry that means it took me a bit longer to reply, and thank you so much for your patience! xoxox

My thoughts on these name choices by 911, wow... OK, so can I mention that the most heartbreaking one to me is the naming of Daniel? As you can see in the post, Daniel means "God judges me" which is basically a sentiment expressed by religious Jews, an accepting of God's judgment and an expression of trying to do right in his eyes. But when someone passes away, in Judaism we say, "Baruch dayan ha'emet," meaning 'blessed is the judge of truth' to express an acceptance of this fate, too. Considering how young Daniel was when he passed away, the choice for his name just sends a shiver down my spine.

Evan meaning 'God has graced' gets to me, we just have the irony of this boy who grew up feeling like he was nothing in the present, that he could only hope to be someone in the future (as he tells Maddie in 405), this boy who was only brought into the world for God's grace to be directed towards saving his older brother, and he doesn't see, he doesn't realize just how much grace there is in his own existence! Once again, breaking my heart...

Another one that gets to me is Eddie's name meaning 'rich protection', when he's a dad who has dedicated himself to protecting his son and doing everything in his power to making Christopher's life as good as it can be, sparing no expenses on it, working twice as hard to be able to take good care of him, all while barely spending any money on himself (as his bedroom shows in 204). I also really like that he and his dad Ramon share the 'mund' part in their original Germanic names, meaning 'protection.' They are both devoted father, looking to protect their kids! They just go about doing it in very different ways...

And of course there's an interaction between their names. While Buck has trouble seeing his own grace, and is reckless and de-values his own life, Eddie is also protective of him, doing everything he can to make it clear to Buck that he is not expandable, and that there is no one Eddie trusts in the world more than him. Their love story is coded into their names, for heaven's sake!

Athena's name meaning might be unknown, but the connection between her and the Greek goddess of just, brave, smart war always got to me! Athena is opposed in Greek mythology to Ares, the god of bloodthirsty, treacherous, destructive war. It's just so fitting for a character whose whole essence is to be a warrior for good. And in that instance, the show even made explicit reference to this, saying Beatrice didn't choose her daughter's name randomly.

I like that when David was brought specifically to be Michael's love interest, he's given a name that is the ultimate one for lovers. David (spelled in Hebrew דוד) comes from the Hebrew word 'beloved' (pronounced 'dod' and also spelled in Hebrew דוד). Not only is that a very fitting meaning, but in the biblical book The Song of Songs, you'll find the verse, "Ani le'dodi ve'dodi li" which means "I am for my beloved and my beloved is for me," considered by many people familiar with the biblical text to be the ultimate expression of a lovers' bond there. That THIS is the name chosen for the character brought in to be a part of the first proper mlm couple 911 has featured makes me happier than I can explain!

I can talk about other notable choices (naming probably the biggest villains on the show with names that refer to 'peace' or imply it by meaning 'dove'), but I don't wanna overburden this post. I do think some of the names, when the origin is unknown / uncertain, and when some have very little connection (if any) to their characters, are a reminder that TV show writers don't always do the research. Sometimes they just like a name! Or select one randomly! Or have personal associations that play into choosing a name, that have nothing to do with the "official" name meaning. In other words, we (as fic writers) allowed to ignore this, too. ;) I personally like having intention behind my character's name, as an extra layer of meaning, but it is 100000% okay not to pay it any attention! *hugs*

Hope you have a wonderful day! As always, here's my ask tag. xoxox
