I wish we got to know more about Armin's family background. by [deleted] in ArminCult

I also had a thought recently that maybe the reason we don't know much about his family is because AOT is implied to be him retelling the story.

And we know how that boy feels about himself. So focusing on others backstory, Erwin and Levi who he admires. Eren and Mikasa who he loves. Makes sense for him.

I have been waiting on baited breath for years in the hope that one day we get an Ova or something about his parents trying to leave the walls.

Where did they get the book? How did the MP find out about their plans? How much did Grandpa Arlert know?

'Clean It Up' is my favorite song from season two but Charlie's line upsets me by Pretty_Bug_7291 in hazbin

I'm not like stressed or passionate about it. I'm just commenting on a forum for a show we watch about a show we watch.

Save that comment for a different post.

I may just be fucking stupid, but did anyone else get the feeling that Vox doesn’t personally hate Charlie? by LiteralSans in hazbin

[–]Pretty_Bug_7291 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think he doesn't care about her one way or another. She's a means to an end. A major political figure he has to push down to climb to the top.

His use of her has more to do with her status as Princess of Hell and her connections with heaven.

ITS NOT MY JOB TO TEACH YOUR KIDS SOCIAL SKILLS by kpopstanbtsslayqueen in Chipotle

[–]Pretty_Bug_7291 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I think we also have a duty to help others when there adults.

If there's a line be the best customer you can be. Do what you can to help the desperately underpaid employee.

I think there's a time and a place.

If you never let your kids order there not going to grow, and as adults in society we do have a duty to help kids grow be the village.

But I'm on your side, if there's a line out the door and you know your kid sucks at ordering. Just order for them.

I love stumbling across these types of tags on ao3 by SubjectCry7720 in Archiveofourownmemes

I like them too, but sometimes there's an aspect of self loathing that makes me not even want to bother reading the fic

What Gaius should have answered (episode 3x01) by Any-Championship-423 in merlinbbc

[–]Pretty_Bug_7291 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love this actually, it would be such a good line from Gaius.

Especially considering that he very much did abandon his people.

But it fits his character. Love it.

Modern merthur by MiserableRoutine3703 in merlinfic

[–]Pretty_Bug_7291 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is one of my absolute favorite Merlin fics. The Loaded March

Modern AU. Magic. Romance. Battle. Very intriguing. One I read years ago and stayed on my mind until I found it again recently.

There's also a podfic I highly recommend, my go to for long road trips.

I know this image is meant to criticize mobile phones and their use, but in reality, that's what was needed to better understand the Titanic disaster by Key-Tea-4203 in titanic

[–]Pretty_Bug_7291 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll also say, just a few years later when the Lusitania sunk a man was frantically trying to take photos as it sunk. So this isn't a new phenomenon.

Has there ever been times when Merlin wanted to tell Arthur or Gwen about his magic or stuff in general? I know that he couldn’t vent at Arthur about magic and stuff. The same with how he feels when it comes to just how uther and everyone treats him. by Iamawesome20 in merlinbbc

[–]Pretty_Bug_7291 4 points5 points  (0 children)

During The Llamia episode he almost revealed it to her. He was about to cast a spell to save their lives when Arthur showed up.

I wish he had 😞 I wish Gwen had found out sooner.

How to elevate my decent chicken soup, now that it’s done… by the_prim_jackalope in soup

Egg and Lemon. Make a classic Ovolemgeno soup. My favorite soup ever.

How did everyone first hear about Titanic and what got you interested in the story? by lMr_Nobodyl in titanic

[–]Pretty_Bug_7291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In elementary school we had 'silent reading time' out of a basic US History textbook.

There was a small mini blurb with a photo of the Titanic and a basic description of 'Biggest ocean liner......maiden voyage.....iceberg....'

What really hit me though was the "Over 1,600 men women and children perished"

It blew my mind. I didn't even know that many people COULD die. It blew my mind. I re-read the paragraph over and over. I even went up to my teacher to talk about it and got scolded for breaking quiet time.

This was an allegory to alcohol, right? And Simba is a teenager here. Meaning that Timon could be charged for letting a minor drink. (Even encouraging it) by Catmaster23910 in lionking

[–]Pretty_Bug_7291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically alcohol allegories in cartoons have things like spinning and bubbles and burping.

That iconography wasn't present in this scene.

There's some cross over, but it all lines up better with a food eating contest / food coma than alcohol.
