Turns out the speeding bus that couldn’t go slower than 50 miles per hour or it would blow up was the friends we made along the way.

Platinum Blonde (1931) dir. Frank Capra
Yeah, I know those bluenoses. Their ancestors refused to come over on the Mayflower because they didn't want to rub elbows with the tourists... so they swam over!

i'm a sad shipper today
i'm sad that oliver and loretta might break up in season 3 of omitb. i mean this is as of episode 8. we don't even know if oliver is alive after d heart attack 2, and if loretta goes to jail but i doubt it. i feel they're gonna be fine but they might break up in d end. or how about if loretta goes to LA, they can still have a long distance relationship and visit one another. idk. meryl can pop up once in d next season.
next topic is for sex education
sex education season 4 spoilers
i'm sad for jean and jakob, and also for otis and maeve. after 4 seasons of build up, that's it, huh? maybe it's a realistic ending. something that normally happens irl idk. but i want happy things in d shows i watch and i thought sex education was a happy ending kind of show.
and i absolutely want maeve to go back to america and be a successful writer. i thought her storyline would be a high school semester in america and then she goes to university in another city in england or the uk. but i understand how her family life traumatized her to d point that she just wants to move to another country. believe me, i know, cos that's my life experience too and i'm hoping to leave my home country someday.
i just thought that she can be a writer in england and still be with otis idk.

Like the music in the new Hunger Games movie but not really know anything about folk/bluegrass/country? Here are some quick recs to get you started!
(This is not comprehensive and the genres here are a little whack, these are just songs I listen to as someone raised on good Appalachian vibes. Not necessarily from just Appalachian artists, particularly in the second section. Just think it’s nice that people are getting more exposure to folk + bluegrass!)
Protest Songs / Coal Criticism
(Hazel Dickens I would give you smooches.. also these are just the ones living in my playlists rn)
“You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive,” Patty Loveless
“The L and N Don’t Stop Here Anymore,” Jean Ritchie
“Coal Tattoo,” and I’m exercising my free will and linking the Hazel Dickens version
“The Yablonski Murder,” Hazel Dickens
“Coal,” Tyler Childers
“Trip to Hyden,” Tom T. Hall
“Coal Miner’s Daughter,” Loretta Lynn
“Devil Put the Coal in the Ground,” Steve Earle
Assorted Personal Favorites
(where my love for Sierra Ferrell is really on display)
“West Virginia Waltz,” Sierra Ferrell
“Across the Great Divide,” Nanci Griffith
“Blue Ridge Mountain,” Hurray for the Riff Raff
“Iowa (Traveling, Pt. 3),” Dar Williams
“Rhododendron,” Bella White
“Boulder to Birmingham,” Emmylou Harris
“Silver Dollar,” Sierra Ferrell
“Hands of Time,” Margo Price
“Lilacs,” Waxahatchee
“Way of the Triune God,” Tyler Childers
“The Dreaded Spoon,” Ricky Skaggs + Bruce Hornsby
“Preacher in the Ring, Pt. 1,” Bruce Hornsby
“The Green Rolling Hills of West Virginia,” Hazel Dickens
“Rocky Top,” The Osborne Brothers
“Do You Think About Me At All,” Bella White
“In Dreams,” Sierra Ferrell

modern lotr character headcanons
characters included: aragorn, boromir, gimli, legolas, pippin, merry, frodo, sam, arwen, eomer, eowyn
word count: 745
summary: random thoughts abt lotr characters if they lived in modern times
a/n: this is literally just silly shit, enjoy
Tumblr media
boromir listens to old country (conway twitty, george jones, loretta lynn, etc.) and does not tolerate anyone insulting the opry legends
he also listens to divorced dad rock (hinder, nickelback, theory of a dead man, etc.) which gimli will sometimes jam to as well
gimli lovingly maintains an old-as-dirt bench seat ford truck despite there almost constantly being something wrong with it. ignores legolas’s badgering about him getting something more reliable
obviously legolas drives a hybrid and he almost acts as if this fact makes him better than gimli (not in a dickish way, though)
horse girl aragorn.
frodo is the epitome of shy emo boy with the black skinny jeans & death cab for cutie playing in his air pods
merry is the golden retriever in the “golden retriever in love with the black cat” trope 
aragorn and arwen host game nights and various other parties for their friends, but neither of them can cook so they just order delivery (or sam hijacks their kitchen for the hours before)
pippin has a large follower base on social media bc of his drinking songs and other inebriated antics that are usually recorded by whoever happens to be with him that night. usually it’s eowyn & merry, and the three of them will shake some major ass to megan thee stallion
sam goes to open mic nights at local coffee shops to people watch. he will never perform himself, but it’s nice to watch people he knows do their thing
eomer accidentally goes viral on tiktok when eowyn records him doing some dumb shit. never lives it down
the amount of joy gimli gets from going to rage rooms is almost alarming
arwen has a very thorough skin care regimen that she introduces to aragorn, and it becomes a sweet nightly routine for the two of them
eowyn & eomer don’t allow anyone to talk shit about or annoy the other bc that’s their job fuck you very much
frodo has a shitty immune system but sam’s homemade soups seem to always heal from the soul outward
sam is the little spoon favored by the resident neurodivergent
frodo is the resident neurodivergent
yes they’re dating
arwen is always the dd
when it comes to birthdays, don’t ask boromir to remember anyone but faramir’s. hell, he forgets his own birthday sometimes
legolas is the best at remembering the birthdays of his friends but forgets his own
they have to remind each other of their own birthdays when that time of year comes around
merry is always the favorite audience member at a drag show
arwen & eowyn never dress like they’re going to the same place when they hang out
gimli says southern grandpa idioms unironically — “as useless as a screen door on a submarine”, “higher than eagle titties”, “busier than a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest”, you get the idea. merry keeps a running tab of said quotes
boromir is the “we’re not getting a dog” dad. said dog ends up being his best friend & the sole inheritor in his will, fuck them kids
aragorn & gimli have their own moonshine still they think is perfectly hidden from everyone
that does not include merry & pippin, who are booze bloodhounds and immediately knew where to find it but swore to secrecy as long as they got more than everyone else
frodo sips fruity little drinks because he can’t shoot whiskey
sam can drink in the way only a divorced middle-age man can despite not being a divorced middle-aged man
eowyn cannot drive for shit & the several dents on her car prove it. the only reason her insurance hasn’t gone up astronomically is because she just. doesn’t report any of it
said car has a fuck ton of bumper stickers with all sorts of silly things
gimli can’t ride a bike AT ALL but has a motorcycle, make it make sense
he goes on bike rides with eomer when they have the time & the weather is nice
merry & pippin are two halves of a whole idiot at every given moment
eomer LOVES 90s and 00s country music but is kinda picky about newer country (he is a massive fan of cody johnson but will throw you through a wall if you talk about morgan wallen in his presence)
arwen dances in the rain & literally never gets sick from it. merry is insanely jealous of this fact
frodo’s favorite video game is animal crossing: new horizons & has very sound opinions on what villagers are the best (fuck you, rodney)

Prompt 22: Hello
Prompt 22 for @hinnymicrofic
“Hello,” says an unfamiliar woman’s voice. “Rubbish queue, isn’t it?”
Harry is waiting at the bar, trying to catch the eye of the harried bartender, and he freezes, guard raising immediately. 
“Hello,” he says, a bit stiffly, trying to accomplish the difficult feat of discerning whether she knows who he is without making eye contact.
She’s got brown hair, curled very neatly around her face. She’s wearing jeans and a nondescript shirt, Muggle clothes. But then again, he’s in Muggle clothes, too. This is a Muggle bar. 
He’s learned nothing.
“D’you think if we make a scene he’ll come over and take our orders quicker?” she says conspiratorially. “I’m wicked at fake fainting.”
“Er,” Harry says, hits wits decidedly dulled as he tries to decide how standoffish he needs to be. Is she a witch, trying to cozy up to The Harry Potter with his guard down, or is she a Muggle making innocent conversation with a random bloke in the queue for the bar? 
Neither sounds particularly appealing, but the former is decidedly worse.
“I’d aim to fall in that direction,” he says, jerking his head away from the bar and splitting the difference. 
She laughs, far harder than the quip deserved, and reaches a hand out to touch his arm as though overcome with his hilarity. She must know who he is.
“I’m Loretta,” she says. 
Unique enough name to be a witch. 
“Harry,” he says, and she smiles, though he can’t determine whether there’s any recognition there. 
It goes much like that for the entire duration of his wait. Harry makes a guarded, sarcastic quip, and she laughs far too hard. By the time he finally gets the round of drinks for his table and makes his bid for escape, he’s decided - she’s a witch, must be.
He winds his way back through the crowd and rejoins Hermione, Ron, and Ginny, clustered together at a table in the back. Ron and Ginny are in the midst of a spirited debate about whether the drummer for the Hobgoblins at all resembles the Keeper on the Wimbourne Wasps. He doles out their drinks - “Cheers,” Ron says, “You’re mental, he’s about a foot shorter than–”
“Since when is height important–”
“Took awhile, was the queue terrible?” Hermione asks. 
“Bloody zoo up there.”
“I’ll make Ron go get the next round.”
Harry chuckles. “Cheers.”
Just then, Loretta passes by the table, her own drink secured, and gives Harry another unsubtle look. 
Harry ignores her, but Hermione is, as always, inconveniently perceptive. “Who is that?”
“She’s a witch, I think,” Harry says, and this apparently is interesting enough for Ginny to abandon her debate with Ron mid-sentence. 
“It’s a vibe, it’s not all about– Who’s a witch?”
“That woman,” Harry says, gesturing vaguely with his head toward where Loretta’s now standing with another blonde woman, glancing toward their table every so often.
“Did she try to get your autograph?” Ron asks with a grimace, and Hermione adds sympathetically. “I really thought that we’d avoid all that at a Muggle bar.”
“No,” Harry answers fairly. “I could just tell she knew who I was.”
For some reason, Ginny and Hermione exchange a look. “How could you tell?” Ginny asks, and he doesn’t know why she sounds amused, all the sudden.
“Dunno, she was just too friendly for a queue.”
“Mm,” says Hermione, who sounds annoyingly amused, too. “How friendly?”
“She was chatty,” Harry says, wishing he’d never mentioned anything at all. “Laughed at everything I said. She’s probably over there telling her mate that you’re all here as well.”
Hermione opens her mouth, but Ginny interjects loudly. “Yes, Harry. That must be it.”
Ron looks annoyingly entertained now too, and Harry cannot escape the feeling that he’s missed something. “Alright, do we know her, or something?” Harry guesses. “You know I’m rubbish at remembering people from the Ministry-”
“I never liked him for his brain,” Ginny says, taking a swig of her drink with a sigh, and Ron barks out a laugh.
“Neither does she, I’d reckon,” Ron adds with a smirk. 
“Hey!” Harry says, affronted. “You never know anyone from work either–”
“Harry,” Hermione interjects, gently but firmly. “I don’t think she’s a witch. She was flirting with you.”
“Well, yeah,” Harry says, irritated. He isn’t completely obtuse. “She recognized me.”
Ginny cackles loudly and clunks her head down on the table, and Harry is decidedly cross now. 
“Can you admit Harry is thicker than I am, now?” Ron says, with a grin to Hermione, who stifles a laugh herself. “This doesn’t bode well for the future of the Auror department.”
Ginny lifts her head from the table and grins at him, her eyes twinkling merrily. “Harry. You’re fit.”
“Don’t try to butter me up after-”
“No,” Ginny says, gripping his arm. “She was flirting with you because you’re fit, not because she recognized you, you prat.”
Harry opens his mouth to respond, but finds that he has absolutely nothing to say. Hermione, Ron, and Ginny collapse into a fit of giggles while he takes a sip of his drink sourly. 
“Harry, you’ve got much more to offer than being a war hero,” Ginny says soothingly, patting his arm. “You’re a real Gilderoy Lockhart, the whole package.”
“Yeah, well,” Harry says dryly. “Then I’ll just go ahead and forget this ever happened.”
