There’s a happy ending to, because the robbery was unsuccessful, the couple ended up getting the money Eden needed from a movie inspired by em! Also John only had to serve part of his sentence. Check out their wedding photos btw they’re beautiful.
reblogging because I’ve seen this post a thousand times and I’ve never seen the happy ending!!
Extremely wholesome content.
The film is Dog Day Afternoon for anyone wanting to watch it
This is literally the most heart warming story I have read on Twitter so far.
I think this is exactly what friends should do, and I feel everyone deserves people like this.
A barn rasing:
a collective action of a community, in which a barn for one of the members is built or rebuilt collectively by members of the community.
because you cannot, you CANNOT, build a barn on your own, and without it, you will not be able to survive.
What a fuckin’ gem of a sentence. “What we did today was a barn rasin”
“I love because I know what it’s like to be loveless. I smile because I remember that when I go back to frowning – my happiness is simply stuck in the thorns of a rose. I laugh because God whispers to me, “This is the sweetest thing to hear.” I dance for I’ve learned that dancing to no music at all is a song to be written to everyone who witnesses my sunshine. I hope because the stars have never looked so beautiful in the abyss of suffering. & I say hello to living my life for I have spent countless of nights understanding what it’s like to say goodbye.”
You say Jon is your favourite character yet can't acknowledge how he was abused by Catelyn . No wonder you lot project on Sansa and treat Jon only as a reward 😂 . I can sometimes understand your frustration considering how Sansa's all romantic interests till now in the books are ugly and older but again ASOIAF is not a straight fairytale and you know Sansa ending up with someone who doesn't fit the bill of what she wanted earlier in the books is something Grrm would go for because ASOIAF is not Disney .
You know what never ceases to baffle me about your lot? Your lack of imagination and your idea that everything has to be sorted into neat little drawers.
It is absolutely possible to like two fictional characters even though these characters do not get along themselves. I like Jon and Catelyn. I like Sansa and Cersei. I like Harry and Draco. I like Obi-wan and Anakin. I even like BookDenethor and Faramir. And I do that simultaneously being fully aware that these characters do not like each other or are set on an antagonistic path by the author.
My imagination even stretches so far that I can imagine that GRRM writes a book with gritty realism that nevertheless might not be a grimdark book, but actually about hope. And that has not ‘life is meaningless and full of pain’ as the only conclusion. And I suspect you would not find this conclusion funny - especially not if it would mean yourfav that gets the full grimdark treatment.
It is as we learn Davos’ chapter in ADWD : 'But what if we prevail?’ There is hope. Earendil shines on Middle Earth as a sign of hope. Consider for a moment how GRRM was influenced by Tolkien.
Hope is there, saving lives means something. Ned’s legacy is the one that is stronger than Tywin’s. Not Disney is not the same as completely dark and meaningless, there are nuances. There is a sweetness in the word bittersweet. Meaningless grimdark is not the same as bittersweet.
But nuances are so hard to grasp for you and your ilk. You really have such a hard time with that.
But what can I expect from people who preach that Sansa cannot have a nice ending - I mean you practically admitted that the older and ugly men are not a good ending for her - and that there won’t be a Disney ending but who also insist that either D on the Throne with Jon at her side is absolutely happening (and would not be a Disney ending) or that D is a shining hero who is not problematic at all and will get the ending she deserves because she is the only truly good character in a sea of grey characters (and that this is absolutely realistic in a 'grimdark’ book) or who think that Ary@ will be Queen and kill Sansa and will be happy with something she never wanted and will become a kinslayer. The funny thing is that you would want that for Ary@ and still do not understand that she would rather run away (as an adventurer perhaps?) than face this fate. Ary@ as Queen after slaying Sansa. That would be grimdark, but you fail to see that! You insist that GRRM is not Disney but only when it’s about Sansa. Everyone else is going to have a Disney ending in your opinion.
Honestly? You lot are so inconsistent, so pig-headed and downright unwilling to open your eyes to look at the nuanced characters and plot of ASOIAF that I wonder how you manage to hit the ask button.
GRRM writes no fairy tale that is true. But he uses fairy tales and their tropes and guess where almost all these parallels lead?
Yes, towards the one ship you detest so much that you feel this strange urge to drop into my ask box. The irony is not lost on me, but it’s probably too much for you. You failed at consistency and nuance after all.
Hey Neil, due to a certain British author saying some stupid things again... Could you please quickly say something supportive for trans people? Would be really comforting right now
I’ve missed this (I’ve been taking a Twitter holiday for the last month, for my own mental health), but I can imagine. I’m sorry.
Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Trans rights are human rights. I’m sorry that some people have such a hard time getting their heads around that. But the world is changing, and history is with you.
This, from 13 months ago, has just been noticed by transphobes, who have been screenshotting it, announcing that I’m jumping onto a bandwagon and they won’t read my books any more. So I thought I’d reblog it, because there may be some trans men or trans women out there who need reassurance, and this might help. (Thank you to all the people who turned up on my Twitter feed hoping for a fight for reminding me to reblog it, even if that wasn’t what you thought you were doing.)
You know that Ada Limón poem where she’s like “i can’t help it i love the way men love”? my dad recently confessed to me that he became a shoemaker because they buried my grandma shoeless
Something I’ve noticed recently is that when there’s a lot of people upset about a film/show/franchise’s ending, a lot of people tend to say stuff like:
‘Oh, it just didn’t end how you wanted it to’
‘It’s meant to be bittersweet, you can’t hate it for being bittersweet’
and… idk but these things just never ring true for me?
For example: How To Train Your Dragon. That is what I’d call a bittersweet ending, and it definitely did not end how I wanted it to. I didn’t like the ending itself at first (mostly because it made me sad), but I never ranted or complained or pointed the finger at bad writing. Why? Because it was done oh so well. It worked so perfectly and fit themeatically with the whole franchise. I came out of that cinema completely satisfied with the franchise.
Yes, sometimes things just don’t end how you want, but that ending will still usually leave you satisfied, and if it doesn’t, that can hurt. It can hurt that you invested so much time into something for it to end in a way that doesn’t make sense to you. If people are upset because a franchise they love let them down… leave them be. Leave us be. Don’t try and defend it to them, because chances are you’re not going to change their mind, just as they would be unable to persuade you.
You can’t change people’s feelings about a piece of media, so let’s stop insulting and being rude to them for feeling that way.
