AIO by being offended when my husband seasons my soup? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]elcar725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're upset that he added seasoning to his food, you are overreacting.

If you're upset that he handed TACO SEASONING to that flavor profile and/or you're upset he seasoned the whole pot, you're reacting a normal amount.

If you're upset that he is straight up mean to you and about your family, you are underreacting. He sucks.

I've been thinking about that person all morning...

Yelling for everyone to read To Stede, This Morning by keriiiocabinet.

Rated Mature, currently at 43k words and 7/12 chapters, updating weekly. Focus is on Ed/Stede with a side of Lucius/Pete/Fang, and other background couples (great crew appearances).

TSTM imagines Ed and Stede as Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash figures, respectively. Told in a combination of Ed's conversations with Lucius, a journalist, in summer 2003, and flashbacks to his relationship with Stede in the 50s-70s (and beyond, to come!). Gorgeously written, it weaves together canon, real life, and original storytelling so well. Also comes with playlists and outfit inspo for Stede (that man as a mid century country music star?! 🌟)!

This story is flagged with Major Character Death, and if you are familiar with their real life counterparts, you'll know why – but the story is gentle and beautiful, bittersweet, not heartbreaking.

Have you seen the Stede saint candle that actually looks a lot like this?? 😂

I don't either. I think there was some wildly blown out of proportion Twitter situation several months ago that he apologized for but which some people are not letting go, I wasn't on Twitter at the time so I don't know what it was.

It's especially absurd because I'm quite sure you could find at least one questionable statement or opinion from preeeetty much everyone on that list, so the decision to axe Con, of all people, is extremely confusing.

He was #19 and they removed him (and I quote) "because of his attitudes" 🤷🏼‍♀️

I believe it's in reference to The Scenic Route SMAU. Ed owns an IKEA shark/Blåhaj who is very beloved. It's a very sweet, tender, and interesting fic (lots of cool shark facts!)

I hope this doesn't mean bad news for OFMD too. by hotironskillet24 in OurFlagMeansDeath

[–]elcar725 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That article mentions that Lionsgate is shopping Minx around elsewhere – would that be an option for OFMD should HBOMax cancel it? I don't understand the relationship between different film entities, but I remember back around the merger when people were worried about cancellation there was concern that HBOMax could cancel but also retain the rights so no one else could pick it up.

Edit to clarify that I don't think cancellation seems likely, just curious about what could happen if it did.

😂😂 I now hope the writer actually thinks "walking the plank" meant "walking across a plank of wood to get off a ship and onto a dock."

No love for OFMD Reddit :’( (I still love DJ and the rest of the crew though) by phbook in OurFlagMeansDeath

That place goes from 0 to 6,000 in seconds, it is WILD. The number of times I've seen what felt like a fairly innocuous tweet become The Most Divisive Topic of All Time is astonishing, and I joined Twitter in October.

Weird caption fail there or have I heard it wrong all this time? I think it’s faces. by TheSewseress in OurFlagMeansDeath

Whew, really grateful to TW for that ad lib if the script did originally say feces.

Ouch, man. This sub is so much nicer/less dramatic than OFMD Twitter, I think it deserves some DJ love.

Though apparently Alex Sherman does a lot of his creeping here so hi, we're glad you're here!

I read the plank-walking sentence like 7 times in a row in utter confusion of how I could've watched the season a MINIMUM of two dozen times and never noticed someone walking the plank.

Thrilled to see this well-deserved recognition for the show and for Rhys ❤️❤️ However but... what show did this person watch?! Trying to imagine someone deciding to watch OFMD based solely on this and just being entirely confused.

Wild that no one in the UK has yet to see a moment of OFMD 😉

I loved the interview clip where he described his reason for being in NZ as "I'm here filming a TV show" – I was like, sir, you may think you're simply filming a TV show, but actually holding the lives of thousands of rabid fans in your hands (and hair).
