One of the funniest parts of shipping both ScotFra and FrUk is it gives you the idea that Alisdair and Arthur were committed to cucking each other for a solid few centuries

#hetalia #hws england #hws scotland #hws france #scotfra #fruk #in actuality i don’t think they overlapped but so much #but it’s such a funny hc i’ve seen #✨just sibling things✨ #meanwhile you’ve got ireland who’s there being flirted with but ultimately just watching the bonfire of a situation #along with wales and n. ireland

Why is that some country's EAS alarms are like "sorry to bother you, but you're about to die and should evacuate. Again, sorry for the interruption. Please have a good day" and then other EAS alarms are like "You are already dead. There is no sleep when the rapture is on its way. Tell your family you love them and pray that any God let's you into heaven"

#seriously though #some of these countries have terrifying eas alarms #have you heard some of the alarms from the middle east and africa? #theyre nightmare fuel #meanwhile scotland has deep bell sound to alert people theyre going to die #I could easily sleep through some of these alarms and then others I would need new pants #if I heard some of these alarms in the proper context istg I would think Armageddon is happening #shout out to all the people who have to deal with traumatizing alarms that some of these countries have #and Im very sorry if you have to hear them when its not a drill

Listening to the funniest romance novel at work today thanks for making me laugh out loud the trouble with dukes by grace burrowes <3

#the guy’s pov is so fucking funny he’s like wow. I hate high society and my dukedom. wish I was back in Scotland making beer :( #meanwhile his sisters keep forcing him to take this Perfect English Lady (she is secretly not perfect) for walks in the park. lmao #romance be upon ye #oh and he’s comparing EVERYTHING to The War. walk in park = Waterloo

I don't care what your opinions are on the Queen but having a live-streamed funeral that will cost billions in security with half the country flooding to say their goodbyes is trashy. Funerals should never be public live-streamed events and this is a blatant attempt by the government and the media to get people to forget about the cost of living crisis and to try and get as much money from tourists as possible.

#the NHS is collapsing and the fucking government is making a big fuss of the queen dying because its a tragedy #meanwhile liz truss tries to take down laws to help trans people in Scotland and the war in Ukraine is still not fucking over #this is NOT pro queen #but its so fucking stupid #the queen #rant #monarchy #british monarchy #royal family #politcs #irl

[greencarnation]

watching the differences in the way my Irish dad, english mom, and me and my siblings who were born and raised scottish all react to the queen's death is so fucking funny to me

#queen elizabeth #my dad is throwing a celebration and going on long rants about colonialism #and my mom is just there begging everyone to at least pretend to respect her #meanwhile since horray we live in scotland our entire town is also celebrating

eloise has been emailing dr. pippa crane (who recently divorced eloise’s second cousin marina) for over a year when she decides on a whim to visit her in gloucestershire for the long weekend 😎 but eloise also accidentally leaves her phone at daphne and simon’s party so everyone else is 😨 trying to figure out where the hell she went.

Meanwhile, Not in Scotland - The Patrician

You can tell she’s Irish, because she has red hair and green eyes.  It’s the law.

Jared of Alexandria shuns both his Roman and Hebrew blood, a curse that’s kept him on the fringes of society, to become a powerful and successful merchant prince. When his trading empire is threatened by an unknown enemy who not only wants to see him ruined but dead as well, he uses every means to put an end to it. He turns to a beautiful barbarian seer, a slave with hair the color of firelight and eyes that shine like emeralds only to be betrayed into a fate worse than death—slavery. 

Bryna of Eire lives each day burdened by the yoke of Rome and her own guilt for leading her beloved brother and clansmen into Rome’s clutches. She curses the gift of sight which her master exploits, keeping her under lock and key, telling fortunes and fattening his purse. When an opportunity to be freed of her confinement comes, Bryna takes it, though her instincts warn that lying to the sensual, golden-eyed man that plagues her visions risks her very soul. 

Betrayed into slavery, Jared labors under the lash envisioning revenge on the seer who sent him into this hell. But when fate throws Bryna into his arms, he finds exacting vengeance a different matter. As they escape, evade bounty hunters and face their pasts, Jared must battle not only his enemy but his heart. Can the differences that separate them draw them together to save their lives and their love?

*bangs head on table* 

A person knowledgeable in such things tells me there’s no Y in the Irish alphabet.  It can’t be that the author’s done no research, so obviously the Irish alphabet is wrong.  Obviously.

Look, there were cultural and commercial influences from Rome, but otherwise I have no comment to make on the idea of an entire Irish clan being under the yoke of Rome because Rome never even tried to invade Ireland. All I will say is that the state of affairs Bryna and her clan find themselves toiling under can't be because the author did no research.

Actually, I'd rather like it if the author did do research, shrugged their shoulders and went, "Sod it. I'm making them Irish anyway!"

If the Scottish landscape was within England 80% of it would be a national park.

But it's in Scotland, so there's just one.

(And Balmoral just so happens to be within it! What a coincidence!)

#was trying to name english ones just for braintertainment #i can't but i know there are a lot #meanwhile there's only one in scotland and it was only created in... was it 2000? #england would kill to have the scottish landscape! (and they did) #uuuugh

Activists are “shoplifting” from supermarket shelves and dumping the proceeds straight into the stores’ food bank bins in a “redistributive action” to protest the cost of living and the climate crisis.

[...]

“The reason we’re doing this is that supermarkets in this country have been raising their prices ahead of the rate of inflation, essentially stealing from ordinary people in order to line their packets with profits.

“We’re acting against this in order to deliver food and necessities to the people of the community that need it the most in the middle of the cost of living crisis.”

The activist is seen ripping the security tag off a tub of baby formula. He says: “This is a basic need for every family with babies and it’s £18 in Asda, which is an immense price tag. […] Supermarkets are prioritising their profits over the safety and health of families in the community.”

Xander Cloudsley, 29, a community food co-ordinator and member of This Is Rigged, the campaign group behind the actions, said: “In my job, I’ve seen the lived reality of the cost of living crisis […] while corporate giants like Tesco are boasting astonishing profits year in and year out. I’m taking action because this disparity is sickening and profoundly unfair.”

The protest comes as food bank usage – already prevalent following austerity – has surged alongside spiralling inflation.

Many supermarkets now have collection bins for food banks. In 2018, Sainsbury’s trialled dedicated shelf-edge labels alerting customers to items that food banks need. In 2022, Tesco gained positive media attention for launching a “reverse food bank” where shoppers could buy and donate goods.

Meanwhile, supermarkets have also been accused of driving inflation. Analysis from trade union Unite shows the top three supermarkets – Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Asda – have taken advantage of increased food costs and doubled their profits to £3.32bn in 2021, up 97% on 2019. Unite’s general secretary Sharon Graham has called this “greedflation” – something supermarket bosses deny.

Ironically, supermarket workers, often poorly paid themselves, are amongst those forced to turn to food banks. One supermarket worker accused Tesco of “forcing us to use food banks, while using food banks to look good.”

It's incredible how Good Omens season 2 still manages to play that game of contrast.

Throughout the entire season, we see Crowley losing his goddamn mind and frantically trying to keep both himself and Aziraphale alive. We see him utterly panicking in almost every episode. Meanwhile, Aziraphale is having the time of his life making his fairytale love story come true.

Despite all the danger that is surrounding them Aziraphale is more focused on love. Getting Maggie and Nina together. And getting him and Crowley together. And it's not just that he's romanticising his love life, it's that he's romanticising every single thing, ex. traveling all the way to Scotland, losing a whole day doing it, and not really finding anything, upkeeping a ball during an invasion etc.

Crowley is living in a horror movie. Aziraphale is living in a romcom.

Except...

At the end, it was Crowley who chose love. It was Crowley who chose them instead of the Earth. It was Crowley who openly displayed his feelings and bared his already vulnerable heart.

And at the end, it was Aziraphale who chose to fight. It was Aziraphale who chose logic and reason. It was Aziraphale who willingly went to possibly the most dangerous place in the universe. It was Aziraphale who put his relationship on hold and focused on stopping the Second Coming.

Crowley chose to live in a romcom. Aziraphale chose to live in a horror movie.

second choice

You were always a second choice in life, to getting compared to your siblings, to your 'friends' only coming to you when they need money or help.

But now... You've gotten used to it. 18 years old you've gotten into the military now your 32, in the taskforce crushing on your lieutenant... You've gotten into a mission just the three of you Ghost, You, Mara.. Mara was special she was feirce, gorgeous, overall (perfect for him)

The three of you were at the rooftop

You looked with your goggles below as you looked out for enemies

Meanwhile Mara patched ghost up.. Your eyes lingered to the two of how Ghost and Maras eyes light up as they look at each other... It was an intimate view.. Your heart wanted to escape from your body, too heavy.You looked at the two with jealousy. Wanting to tear them apart, wanting to rip out their hearts and intestines maybe it was just hatred... Maybe it was just your possessiveness, but knowing you can't and never will.

After the mission, you were sent to the infirmary accompanied by Soap, who insist on taking you there he's such a gentleman. Soap lingered his hand near your shoulder, letting you take a sit on the edge of the infirmary bed.. A nurse came in and patched you up, cleaning your wounds making sure it doesn't infect and become worse.

After, soap take you to your barracks, you told him goodnight and closed the door behind you, slipping off your shoes and socks and went to bed. Next day, you finished your usual routine, eat, train, talk, meeting blah blah blah.. You sat on the debriefing between gaz and soap, price on the center talking about the upcoming mission, you couldn't help but linger on the corner, Ghost and Mara.... Ghost held mara's waist big, buffy and scarred hands... Oh you wish it was you, wish it was you who he held oh so lovingly... Mara looked at you and you ended up looking so where else.

You hadn't noticed Soaps hand clenching yours... You looked at Soap and smiled he smiled back you letted your head rest on his shoulder as his free hand snaked around your waist you both went back to listening to price. Maybe..

You weren't a second choice.. Just ended up focusing on the wrong people.

Bonus: you hadn't noticed a certain man in a skull mask looking at the both of you in jealousy.
