Hello, I really love how you seem to have such a good read on RoR characters! Kinda shy asking this because I swore I read Record of Ragnarok for the action and backstories but it’s hard to contain my simping…. (๑꒪̇⌄꒪̇๑)

May I request some headcanons for Poseidon x a shy but kind human fem!MC? The idea I had in mind was that some thousands of years ago, Aphrodite, annoyed with Poseidon’s indifference to her charms, “cursed” him with a soulmate. This soulmate turned out to be MC who wasn’t even born yet back then. The plot will take place sometime before the actual human vs. gods battles start, so maybe during some preparation period where they’re setting up the stadium and all that? During this period, the human audience had already been “teleported” there (I don’t think they ever elaborated on how the humans all just end up watching the ragnarok) MC is one of these humans and coincidentally happened upon Poseidon during her stay. Of course, the soulmate stuff won’t magically make Poseidon have a complete change on humankind, but I was hoping he’d gradually soften up to her even if he won’t admit it.

As for what kind of soulmate AU, maybe the type where the first words your soulmate says to you is inscribed somewhere on your body? I think it’ll be fun to have her say something to him, he realizes but doesn’t say anything back so she just doesn’t know until much later.

Hopefully this isn’t too detailed or convoluted (๑•́‧̫•̀๑) And thank you so much in advance if you decide to write this! And if it’s not too much to ask, please don’t kill off Poseidon, but I also don’t want Sasaki to die either… maybe Poseidon will choose to forfeit (after fighting at first) because his soulmate is amongst the humans that will be eliminated if gods win? •ू(ᵒ̴̶̷᷄ωᵒ̴̶̷᷅*•ू) )੭ु⁾⁾

THIS REQUEST IS SO CUTE OMG!? I'M MORE THAN HAPPY TO WRITE THIS FOR YOU BUT ALSO, UR SO VALID FOR WANTING NIETHER OF THEM TO DIE, IDK WHY BUT THIS ANIME MAKES ME ATTATCHED TO BOTH THE GODS AND THE HUMANS-

Either way, I hope I did well, this was my first time writing for Poseidon!

- Consider how vain these two can be sometimes, it's only natural that they would butt heads often but when Poseidon dared to claim that Aphrodite truth wasn't as fair as she claimed herself- no, that she KNEW herself to be- she just couldn't allow this injustice to stand.

- He cherished absolutely nothing, he appreciated absolutely nothing. So she took it upon herself to change that. After all, it was HER who was the Goddess of Love. So she decided to pull a little trick

- Now, lets flashforward (to modern? ancient? Idk, man, heaven time??) and Poseidon has been summoned to his match. A match he felt was pointless but, whatever, who was he to deny his brother?

- Gracing the God's hall and going to his room to prepare and shield himself from sharing the same air as humans; imagine his surprise when he sees you.

- You're pathetic. Skittish, looking around like a confused mutt, and looking as disgusting as the rest of your kind. He knows your human alone and he's offended that you had the AUDACTIY to walk INTO THE AREA WHERE THE GOD'S RESIDE, AND EVEN STAND IN FRONT OF HIS DOOR.

- In reality, you weren't trying to piss anyone off. You had gotten separated from the rest of the humans and accidentally found yourself in a part of the arena you weren't familiar with.

- You were so relieved when you looked and saw another person in the hallway with you! Maybe you could ask them for directions. Poseidon did not know why you were approaching him so casually but he did NOT like it, like, AT ALL.

- Since your soulmates, maybe the reason why you don't feel his threatening aura like other gods and humans do is because some part of you just can't find it in you to fear him. He takes this as a sign of disrespect.

- You do feel anxious, however, he was such an attractive man but he absolutely did not look pleased to see you and you assumed he was just having a bad day.

- "H-Hello, I don't mean to trouble you!" You call out, your voice quiet and filled with uncertainty.

- He narrows his eyes at you, absolutely enraged by the idea of you approaching him so casually. You filthy little worm, he should destroy right-

- But then he takes a look at his wrist, he doesn't know why he does, a subconscious decision perhaps. But he side eyes you...odd, he makes sure to check his wrist. Oh well, he may as well grant you a few seconds of life.

- Then he checks his wrist and sees that the very first words you said to him...were on it. He looks from his wrist to you, who has no idea what's going on and honestly just wanted to find a way out of this big hallway.

- "U-Um, sir? I-I'm sorry, but do you know the way out?"

- He merely narrows his eyes at you before summoning his trident into his hands and thats when you realize; you're standing before a God. He says nothing to you and you instantly want to apologize but before you could, he just points in his trident into the direction he came from.

- You look at him, scared and confused, and he continues to stare at you with cold eyes. When he doesn't say or do anything for a few minutes you finally realized he was pointing the direction out.

- You apologize for the trouble and run like hell, his gaze following you.

- He observes you closely after that, believing this may be some kind of mistake. Thats why he didn't say anything to you, because a part of him was nervous. But he was mostly angry.

- It showed by when he barged into Aphrodite's room to DEMAND her what trickery she had stuped too and to undo it, she just smiles slyly and asks him: "What trickery?~"

- After some frustrating interrogation that goes NOWHERE...he finds himself staring at you quiet often, the mortals all cowering in fear when they feel his divine prescence. Not you, though, you never seem to notice him until you follow their stares and see his cold eyes, staring you down like you were gum under his new shoes.

- It's a very odd exchange, overall. Everyday, he'd show up at the most random of times and causing a stir among everyone else but yourself. Sometimes it'd even be multiple visits a day. Either way it confused you because the matches hadn't even started and already, you had somehow invoked a God's wrath.

- At least, that's what you thought at first until you noticed that he never did anything to really threaten your safety. Yes, watching you was a bit odd, but you find that you aren't really all that nervous about it anymore. Especially since with every visit, you believe that his gaze softens when they're set upon you.

- He kept his distance at first but then, once you started to take notice of him, you'd offer him to sit next to you as you sat in the beautiful fields that surrounded the arena or would be reading in one of the vast nearby libraries. Originally he would just walk away and as time went on he slowly began to warm up to you.

- Like a cat. tbh.

- He couldn't help it, at least, it FELT like he couldn't help it. He didn't know if it was your bond as soulmates, the unyielding kindness that he originally saw as foolish and niave, or overall just your quiet nature until you saw your friends.

- Either way, the more he began to see you, the more he could look past your flaws (which was being a human) and start to appreciate the things about you the made you beautiful.

- Don't get me wrong, he was definetly in denial for the longest time so he would kinda start off with small things. Like it goes from: "Oh, at least they bowed their head to my statue, thats a redeemable quality, at least." to "She is the epitome of perfection♡"

- You wouldn't really ever know that Poseidon's feelings towards you have grown, he hides it very well behind that stoic face that he wears and he hasn't even really spoken to you, yet. He doesn't know why but he feels like...the time isn't right. Despite his growing feelings, he truly isn't ready to accept a human as his soulmate yet.

- You just assumed he didn't talk much so you never pushed him too. Yeah, it mightve been a bit awkward at first but you appreciated his prescence, it brought you a new sense of comfort and peace that you never felt, not even when you were alive.

- When you made flower crowns in the gardens, you'd ask if you could decorate his trident for him and he gave you a deadpan stare before nodding his head in approval. He'd silently gesture you to follow him and show you a private pool whenever a say seemed a bit too hot for you and watch as you played in it, a soft smile growing on his face.

- He would even feel a bit of anger when he was with his fellow gods, listening to them generalize their hatred towards humanity. Usually Poseidon would join them but he couldn't bring himself too. After all, humanity was pesky and troublesome but some of them weren't that bad.

- They could be sweet, they could be unfailingly kindhearted and empathetic...They could be you. So he'd just glare distastefully but never say anything, but he didn't need to as everyone slowly stopped talking after sensing they somehow upset him.

- He spent a lot of his time with you during the days that led up to his match, you were unsure of who to root for; since it's true that humanity would be wiped out if the God's continued to win but at the same time, you didn't want to see Poseidon get hurt.

- He picked you out from the crowd immediately and made eye contact with you, not even acknowledging his opponent as he stepped into the ring.

- Did he still look down on humanity? Yes. But...he supposed there were some good aspects to it. Good aspects like you.

- As the mythical creatures and gods from his side cheered him on, shouting insults towards the humans, and telling him to destroy them like the ants they were: his eyes were locked on your (e/c) eyes before he finally made a decision. Internally, he had just lost a battle within himself in that moment...but he wasn't upset about it.

- So he interrupts Heimdall's introduction speeches as he addresses the whole crowd, "I FORFIET THIS MATCH!"

- Shock and bafflement was all that could be heard from both sides of the arena. They couldn't have possibly heard him right, though, after all: He was Poseidon, the beautiful God of the Sea, there was no way he would just-

- Then he looked at you and your heart leapt at hearing his voice for the first time. His eyes became gentle as they stared into yours, "I will fight for humanity. For some of you are worthy yet."

- You didn't respond for a bit, not noticing how the words "I will fight for humanity" appeared on your wrist, but he did. And he knew that even if Aphrodite had "cursed" him, that it truly didn't bother him. You were made for him. His perfect mortal♡

- This was only proven when you broke out of your shocked trance faster than anyone and cheered his name happily, your shyness lost as you joyfully cheered his name, causing him to visibly smile in front of everyone.

actually I'm very sad about Phil Dunster not getting a Golden Globe nomination. it's kind of annoying that they split categories for actress & actor but combine them all for supporting actress & actor??

#he was never gonna beat out all those succession people #but like they should've been in separate damn categories and we wouldn't have had that issue!!!!! #also i think he should have been nommed over James 🫢 i loved james in jury duty but like. cmon. #ted lasso #phil dunster

[ekingston]

Golly, what a sweet post! You've definitely succeeded in proving your point, because that was a wonderful story. It had a great fun energy and a lot of moments that made me laugh (Lena reading Kara's article! Kara's "fascinating factoid"!) and reading it made me feel happy. And oh, yeah, Lena's husky "I like to listen to the way my words affect her" might be the sexiest coming-out moment I've ever read. And the way you wrote her body and her reactions in bed was hooooot. Like, I'll-be-re-reading-those-parts hot. So yeah, who cares that there was no riveting legal thriller plot?? You delivered anyway. I'm so glad you're having a great week and loving life and writing. You're a gift to this great community, with your writing AND your art (that recent one of Kara hugging Lena and telling her was a personal favourite, I love protective love and h/c). I hope things stay good for you, you deserve it! ...But that TaCoS joke was not good.

it is SO BAD i 100% agree but that was also very much the point from the beginning 😌 i told my wife & proofreader last weekend how i was about to inflict an entirely new & already completely finished fic on her instead of the next chapter of Soup and that all i needed to wrap it up was one final, terrible pun. and when i got back from the shower i took about it, she had sent me a voice message with a bunch of GREAT existing ones like ‘did you forget i teach third grade?!’ and i had to tell her none of them would work because they were TOO HILARIOUS and also it would need to refer to lena luthor and supergirl having sex

#… #they don’t teach that in third grade #fortunately #i love that you found so much to love about it! #& you are extremely kind!! #ask me things! #youcaneventakeyourfriends #BWOW #jury duty au

Thinking about Stonn and those other kids who used to bully Spock having bully kids and finding out that Human parents usually take issue with the parents of bullies

In other words, I want Stonn and the others to get into a fistfight in a school parking lot with some helicopter parents and lose

#I love Vulcans #but xenophobic ones? not so much #Star Trek #I won’t tag him since I guess this is a bashing post? #even tho he sucked in canon #Vulcans #humans #y’all are getting some self indulgent posts for the next couple of days #cause I’m still stressed from jury duty

I just wanted to share that Jury Duty is an absolute delight of a show and I want eighty more seasons.

So if you’re looking for something feel-good I highly recommend it. It’s on freevee.

Thank me later.

#jury duty #yes I know it wouldn’t be this exact scenario but the premise brings me joy and I loved it #I legitimately had the worst week and watching the end of this provided a bit of reprieve #10/10 do recommend

Would be happy to hear how UK jury duty differs from that post

hello ok!! so disclaimer that i havent actually served as a jury myself, but i work in prosecution so i have observed the jury a lot (occupational hazard lol).

anyways, to start with the jury in the uk are definitely not taking any field trips anywhere, much less to the crime scene. the most exciting trip you're going to take as a uk jury is from the jury canteen to the court room with your shitty lukewarm coffee. if the jury, for whatever reason, need to see the crime scene, this will be done through a series of photographs of any relevant bits they need to see that will be included in the jury bundle (idk if americans do this, but this is essentially a folder of any relevant evidence that is agreed by prosecution and defence as being 'disclosable' to the jury). if a case is particuarly difficult or high profile, then the police may create a computer generated model of the crime scene that is shown to the jury, but i have really only heard this in theory and have never seen or heard of an actual case.

also, you are never allowed to talk about what happened during deliberation even after the case has concluded. you are technically allowed to discuss what happened in the courtroom after the trial has concluded, but you cannot talk about what led you to your verdict so you have to be very careful there.

other general differences is that in the uk the jury is selected at random from the entire population, not just the local community (tho in practice most courts tend to randomly select jury members who live in that particular area the court is in). in the uk, a majority verdict is acceptable if directed by the court (meaning if 10 out of 12 jury members, for example, think it is a guilty verdict, then they may give that verdict if directed by the judge). any potential jurors may not be dismissed without due cause - i.e. if something about the jury member questions their impartiality for example they were seen discussing the case outside of the deliberation room, or personally know any witnesses, defendants, judges or lawyers involved in the case etc.

the kevin thing is spot on tho.

#mostly uk jury duty is a lot of waiting around and discreetly sleeping when defence is on page 20 of their opening or closing statement #i would love a field trip to a murder scene. i feel like i should be allowed that personally
