“Oops, dropped your coat!” You cheerfully pick up the soft fur coat off the floor and carefully drape it back over the person’s chair. They stare at you with wide, stunned eyes. They’re remarkably attractive. You awkwardly wave at them and go sit down at your table.
They’re a selkie, you “gave” them back their coat, you now have a gorgeous and besotted selkie spouse. Hey, they don’t make the rules.
The next day, the attractive person you met shyly approaches you and gives you a little box with a ring inside. You blush, a little confused, and stare at them.
“I… Isn’t this… An engagement ring?”
“Well… We… We should get married by human customs as well.”

this is literally just the opening titles of monty python and the holy grail im crying
i left home a child
and came back to trumpeting heralds
and parades in my name
and historybooks with my face on the front cover––
a hero.
i left home a child
and came back a hero
but no one seems to see that a hero is a warrior
and a warrior must first be born of war.
and i see too many children
chasing after my footprints with joy
wearing armour like blankets and helmets like crowns
laughing with eyes bright as the faraway glint of sniper scopes.
and i do not want to leave a legacy
of bloodstains and bruised knuckles
and teeth clenched around burning bullets.
and i do not want anyone else
to leave home a child
and come back a hero
tasting blood on every passing wind
and regret on every shaking breath.
but i left home a child
and came back a hero
and only a hero––
––not the historian who writes the legends
or the god who writes the stars
and i do not have it in me
to stop the next warrior
who leaves home a child
and comes back a hero.

No harm to any religion. It’s just a lamp ads by an Australian company. However, it’s funny!
I’m going to cry 😂😂
Ahaha, the reason why Mohammad is specifically mentioned as not being able to be there is because in Islam, portrayals and portraits of Mohammad are forbidden. But they didn’t want to be seen as either hand waving him as at the table but not shown or as explicitly omitted.

Been rewatching Avatar and still have so much love for these characters. I enjoy thinking of Iroh meeting Zuko’s dragon, sometime after The Search. It would be a nice way of bringing the symbolism of the dragons in their story come full circle.
