Anon 1 asked:

hi, i absolutely love this blog, thank you for all the amazing work you do❤❤❤ recently i’ve been looking for a fic i once read, but i can’t find it anywhere. i think it was a magic reveal fic and i remember that merlin and the knights were trapped in the labirynth and to get out they had to face ghosts of dead people who decided who deserved to find the exit

Hey I am looking for a fic and I hope you guys can help me, but first, thanks for all the work you do! It is a longer Merthur fic and Arthur has a younger cousin in it, she’s Agravaine’s daughter and they have a really good relationship (Agravaine wasn’t completely estranged like in Canon) Later in that fic he still betrays everyone and there is a trial where she’s also sitting in and she is condemning him as well… Sorry its not much I sadly don’t remember more, but it was a really good fic!

Hi… i’m looking for a canon au fic where Merlin is orphaned and raised by druids on isle of blessed with a force field around it. Starts with merlin and arthur meeting when arthur wanders off to fight a cockatrice (??). They grow up seperately with merlin watching people though a mirror. I think morgause and her kids when arthur visits them. Anyone burned at stake in camelot gets transported to the isle and merlin heals them. I think there were magical boots somewhere. Not sure if ended m/a. Any help please? Quarantine heroes you are!!

Anon 4 asked:

hi! i hope you guys are doing great! i’m kinda looking for a lost fic and i only remember small bits and pieces but i hope they help! i remember merlin, arhur, and the knights were going somewhere when they got attacked and merlin went to hide and a man finds him and beats him up till he “dies” and gwaine finds him. i also think the attack had something to do with morgana? but i’m not sure. i really hope with that whacky description is enough lol

Anon 5 asked:

Hey guys, I’ve recently rediscovered my hyperfixation on Merlin and I was wondering if you know of a certain fic that I can’t find, it’s modern day and Arthur is a single business man who fosters/adopts a child Merlin who’s convinced that they’re the reincarnations of the ‘real’ Arthur and Merlin? I first read this years ago and I’ve been dying to read it again. Thank you so much! :-)

Anon 6 asked:

Hi, hope you’re having a good day! I was wondering if you could help me find a fic. All I know is that the magic ban was lifted and Merlin still doesn’t tell Arthur about his magic but used it more casually. But he accidentally enchanted Arthur into not being able to recognize the fact that he was using magic…
hi! Im looking for a more specific fic. - Arthur lifts the ban on magic but doesn’t know Merlin is a sorcerer - Merlin decides to reveal himself by being increasingly more obvious about his sorcery but Arthur doesn’t notice - Merlin later discovers that this is because at some point he had accidently/unknowingly enchanted Arthur not to notice when he performed magic sorry if this isn’t enough!

Anon 7 asked:

Hi! I’ve been desperately searching for a fic. What I remember from the summary is that Merlin gets his by a spell, and he goes into some kind of enchanted sleep. While he’s asleep, he gets transported into a world where he gets everything he ever wanted. Arthur has to find a way to wake him up, but Merlin isn’t sure if he wants to wake up. Thank you so much in advance!

Anon 8 asked:

Hi! Thank you, times infinity, for running this blog! You do good work. I’m looking for a fic I read a long time ago, I hope it’s not deleted. I think Merlin was some kind of high priest, or god of some sort, and Arthur is one of the guards of his temple. Merlin has been low-key trying to seduce Arthur with skimpy outfits but Arthur doesn’t take the hint until Merlin gets Will to “attack” the temple as a catalyst to get Arthur close to him.

And, as always, this post will be updated if any fics are found! :)

Vox actually did a pretty nice article about it, and in case you were wondering what charities it is supposed to be benefiting

Ben and Jerry’s isn’t making an empty advertising gesture. They company has supported Bernie Sanders, and made an ice cream flavor to raise awareness of global warming. They run progressive news stories on their websites and social media. They pay their workers a living wage. Even their brownies are sourced from a company that specializes in hiring people out of jail to help them get their lives back on track. They’re open supporters of socialism. I understand the idea of “no ethical consumption” but Ben and Jerry’s isn’t just adopting a political message for nothing.

They are a pretty fresh company in Poland (their ice cream showed up in stores less than two years ago), but they already are very strong financial supporters of our LGBT organizations, especially in Warsaw. They were one of the sponsors of the Warsaw Pride, they also gave 6000 zł (~1600$) to two important LGBT organizations so they could renovate their shared, first real office (the organizations are Miłość nie Wyklucza, who are fighting mainly for marriage equality, and Parada Równości, organizers of Warsaw Pride), and right before the Pride this year they sponsored us a fireproof rainbow in the former spot of an art installation - a rainbow made of flowers - that was burned down seven times. Click for a short english video on the story of this rainbow!

And let me tell you, this is not good PR for them here. It would be better for them and their sales here if they didn’t openly show us any support. Their local fanpage is filled with people raging about their “leftist ideology”. But they still do, which shows they are true to the values they talk about.

Take a look through the comments and you’ll see a lot of things like this, whether it’s refusing to sell two scoops of the same flavor ice cream in Australia until citizens voted in favor of gay marriage, one of the founders showing up personally to a trans rally to hand out ice cream and hugs, or both owners getting arrested at protest rallys.

Then just normal shit like “paying their workers a living wage” and “ethically sourcing ingredients” that seem like should be bare minimums for companies but somehow isn’t.

They’re also just flat out giving money to these charities regardless of sales, the artist is one of the co-founders of CultureStrike & Presente.org (also a queer WOC), and regardless of whether you buy the ice cream the very fact that we’re talking about it and the names of the charities are visible means that the marketing campaign was successful.

I think one of the most interesting comments I’ve seen on this thread was something like: if there truly is no such thing as ethical consumption under capitalism then we also have to accept there is no such thing as ethical production. And at that point I think it makes more sense to look at both through a filter of context and intent.

They were big supporters of Amendment 4 here in Florida, the largest expansion of voting rights in the country since the Civil Rights Movement. Florida permanently banned folks with felony convictions from ever voting again, leaving roughly 1 in 10 Floridians over the age of 18 without access to the ballot box. Ben & Jerry’s didn’t just support financially—they led a statewide ice cream truck tour to help get out the vote during the final weeks of the election, educating voters on the impact of Amendment 4 passing and giving out free scoops, swag, and info sheets. Like, even when capitalism is overthrown, there’s still a place for Ben & Jerry’s in the socialist future, I hope.

vegans who refuse to even eat backyard eggs….why

despazito

people who think its unethical to eat chicken eggs are like people who think bees should keep all their honey. they literally produce more than they need and your unwillingness to even buy local means you are doing nothing to help them, support your small farmers you heathens

feminist-james

This is not true.

1) honeybees do not produce “extra honey.” And beekeepers don’t take some of the honey, they take all of it.

2) chickens have been artificially selected from naturally producing eggs once a month to producing eggs every couple of days. Their bodies are not sustainable and the health complications of this rapid egg production kills chickens.

spoonfulofwhoopass

Hey idk who like. Lied to you about the way honey farms work, but could you stop spreading misinformation? Are you a beekeeper?

Because I am!

Beekeepers make sure hives are fed before there is pollen in the air, protected from predators and the elements, and have enough honey to sustain themselves. We don’t take all of it.

But overproduction of honey leads to stagnation in the hive. It puts stress on the queen to lay eggs, and when they inevitably fill up all their space with honey (instead of filling up the multiple empty, clean boxes of frames beekeepers might put on top of the main hive box), the queen can get so stressed she dies. If there’s a spike in the weather and the hive hasn’t prepared new queen brood, that’s it! The colony is dead. Because there wasn’t enough space for eggs and honey in the hive.

Beekeepers take excess honey. We are constantly monitoring the state of the hive, checking for parasites, analyzing the eggs for diseases, and making sure they are fed and healthy (usually with sugar water and pollen substitutes until they have made enough honey to sustain themselves in the early spring months). If a queen dies prematurely, we make every attempt to replace her to save the colony.

I know there’s an urge to patronize everyone who works in the farming industry, but try to understand the differences between small scale agriculture and industrial farming. There IS a difference. And stop spreading misinformation.

If you’re this passionate about ethical consumption, look into some of the ecofeminist research on non-hierarchal interspecies relationships (working on building animal-human relationships in a non exploitative way).

But yeah! Stop spreading misinformation! Please 🐝

Also if I can harp on the chicken part?

Yea Chickens are some of the most abused animals on big factory farms and I’ll be the first to admit it’s criminal and more needs to be done to regulate this.

Yes selective breeding over time has caused an increase in the ammount of eggs produced by chickens and factory farms have some messed up practices to get more eggs from them including forced moutling.

THIS IS WHY YOU SUPPORT LOCAL FARMERS AND THEIR EGGS

Many people take to raising their own hens because of America’s immoral treatment of hens in factory farms like you’re not helping the poor chicks by starving these farmers financially you’re just hurting the one people trying to change things and making the OPTION of cage free organic cruelty free eggs even harder to find

simplelittlepaperyanon

Yeah, as someone who like… lives on a chicken and duck farm… Coops help keep wild animals out but birds are kinda dumb. And chickens literally do not need to keep the unfertilized eggs!

Most chickens will sit on unfertilized eggs until they can tell if they are or not… By the smell of rotting egg. Yeah, ew. Farmers can hold that bitch to the flashlight and tell if there’s a baby in there! They know! The eggs are not being abused!

kuzuryuu-course

Also, if you separate your cocks and your hens, there wont even be that issue in the first place. Egg-laying is basically chicken menstruation, but unlike mammalian menstruation which is full of blood and dead tissue, chicken menstruation is full of tasty tasty nutrients

cluckbuck7

Support local farms! Most grocery stores carry eggs from small, local farms that give hens acres of open pasture and healthier housing.

jheselbraum

Also, that “selectively bred to lay eggs more often” thing? Literally just comes from feeding the chickens every day. The chicken’s ancestors would only lay an egg when there was abundant food, so people started feeding them every day to get more eggs. That’s it.
