Hi, so i’m a big fan of fantasy movies. My top ones is LOTR and Hobbit trilogies. My favourite show of all time is Merlin BBC. And I’m looking for more shows with this sort of magic in them. Something with deep emotional bonds, suspense, a bit of humour, some sick lore, darkness mixed with light sort of thing. Something you won’t forget so easily.

Of course, I’ve seen classics like Harry Potter, Narnia, Pirates of the Caribbean which I love. I also love Dungeons & Dragons: honour among thieves. I also love Princess Bride specifically for its whimsy. I don’t mind shitty effects, I find it quite funny at times, as I focus more on the story and characters. That’s why I also prefer a bit older movies instead of the new ones as I noticed they tend to focus more on the SGI than the actual story (or at least the ones I have seen).

Do you guys have any recommendations for movies with that sort feel? Some comfort movies? Some must watch ones?

Now hear me out, this came to me randomly in a dream.

Let me list you a couple of reasons why I think it might have been a casual Sunday family walk spot for them:

1. They are immortal (well if someone doesn’t twist their neck lol) so even tho it’s dangerous up there, they cannot injure themselves and die.

2. They are always cold, so the temperature wouldn’t matter.

3. They are incredibly fast, so it would take them a couple of minutes to run there, spider monkey style.

4. They could have privacy and sparkle all they could want up there as the chances of meeting someone on the peak are very low. Even though Mount Everest is actually notoriously crowded with frozen bodies and waiting lines of climbers now. Imagine Edward standing at the summit, sparkling brilliantly, only to make awkward eye contact with a freezing guy named Gary from Ohio who is wearing 14 layers of North Face gear. Edward would have to read Gary's thoughts just being like, "Am I hallucinating a diamond teenager?". Like let’s be real, who would believe Gary if he survived from the hike and told anyone anyway. They would think he is still adjusting and overly exhausted.

5. They have time, so eventually over the years I think they would get bored enough to a point, to be at least curious about going.

The only thing I’m wondering about here is how would they feed themselves. Yes, there are wild animals they could hunt lower, but on the upper Mountain it’s a dead zone where apparently (yes, I did my research to my shit post) only permanent resident at that height is the Himalayan Jumping Spider. The mental image of Edward Cullen tracking a tiny, fuzzy spider across the ice because he's starving is inherently hilarious, but it wouldn't do much for his appetite.

So I think a trip there could potentially make them less “vegetarian” and absolutely snack on the tourists, but it would be like drinking a human slushie. At that altitude, climbers are severely dehydrated, suffering from hypoxia and freezing. Their blood would be sluggish and cold. Edward would probably complain that Gary from Ohio "tastes like frostbite and altitude sickness."

Now that I think about it, I don’t know why I specifically thought of Mount Everest. Those guys could have easily been on the most random places at all. So anyway, if you ever walk across something tall, just remember that Edward Cullen was probably sitting there at one point having a little “there’s a possibilityyyy” moment up there. LMAO

Hey everyone!

I was scrolling through my TikTok feed and came across this Marauders creator called Bekh4rd and I'm obsessed. Especially their James Potter cosplay, it's so spot on.

I fell down a massive rabbit hole on their account as I was rewatching the skits and I ended up totally stalking their account LMAO. I know they haven't posted a ton lately, but their chemistry is literally unmatched and they give off such pure mischief managed era vibes.

I started snooping through their comment section and noticed they are always playfully replying with this creator named arcturustarred who does a Regulus cosplay. I checked out their profile as well and oh my god... his Regulus is literally perfect? I also love P4perback as Remus, obviously, and I also discovered through the comments andrwmango who is literally Sirius.

Does anyone else follow them? What are your favourite videos/looks of theirs? I really hope they start posting more soon because the fandom needs them back! 😭❤️

So my last question is, what are your favourite Marauders creators?

So my last question is, what are your favourite Marauders creators and cosplayers?

I (F24) had a best friend(F25), let's call her "Skyler," for over a decade. We met online through RPG Facebook group in middle school and were inseparable for years.

For context, Skyler is a lesbian and she’s always hooking up with people or in a relationship. I am the exact opposite. I rarely date, let alone open up easily and Skyler was only the second person I had ever slept with in my entire life.

Before we get to that, let me start from the beginning.

A year and a half ago, I was going through a period of intense grief. In the span of five years, I lost five close members of my family. During the last recent death, me and Skyler grew closer.

One night, we had a conversation about why we had never kissed as best friends, which led to a random makeout. I felt bad after it, as Skyler literally had to chug a whole bottle of alcohol to even have the courage to kiss me, which just brought back unpleasant memories. I comunicated this to her and the next day she came to my flat, we watched my favourite show and she kissed me again, sober. Which as you can imagine made me confused.

These random makeouts became a thing for about 3 months. They always happened and we never really talked deeper about them.

Afterward, one evening Skyler came over to vent about a situationship. We ended up drinking and things started escalating to a point where we ended up sleeping together. I stopped and told her many times in between that we shouldn't do this, asking her if she was absolutely sure. She insisted and just kept on going.

To me, that night wasn't some grand romantic gesture, it was just two friends going through tough times and finding comfort in each other. Skyler kept insisting afterward that it was "just the alcohol." But the thing is, the next morning, when we woke up completely sober, we slept together again. Despite this, we both agreed that morning we won’t let this ruin our friendship. It was a drunken one time memory.

Instead, Skyler immediately made things awkward and distanced herself. She claimed she felt so ashamed for sleeping with me, yet she went out and literally told basically everyone in our social circle what had happened. When I eventually called her out on this and asked her why, she just laughed nervously and refused to give me an answer as to why she did it.

Eventually, she started hanging out with my ex-friends and talking complete bullshit about me behind my back. It escalated to the point where Skyler and this group of ex-friends actually ganged up on me for an "intervention". They showed up at my flat, my safe space, just to dump a bunch of past and present drama on me. I completely shut down and went nonverbal, not even knowing what the hell is happening. They even facetimed my ex-situationship that I stilled cared for, which they knew very well, to just point the camera at me. During this ambush, Skyler literally said to me, "Why can't you just admit you're in love with me?" which left me speechless, as the truth is I didn't know if I was, all I knew is that I cared deeply for her. I would be lying, if I said I didn't think about it, as I knew her like nobody else, but looking back at it, I came to conclusion that her coming to the funeral is probably what made me had such deep care and "feelings" for her, as it was a massive thing for me that I will always be grateful for.

Two weeks later, Skyler came back to my flat (alone this time) completely drunk to talk it out as I kind of distanced myself from her for two weeks. She admitted that her original plan after us sleeping together had been to just ghost me and distance herself without a word. During this conversation, she told me that I needed to apologize to everyone for everything. For context:

1. I was meant to apologize to my ex friend for saying that she only contacts me when she needs something, which was true. I didn't say it in a mean way or to blame anyone.

2. Then i was meant to apologize to the ex situationship for "breaking her heart", (again context: that situationship gave me an ultimatum to either date or we couldn't continue being friends and even tho I really liked and clicked with this person, I was fresh out of a breakup at the time and needed time to heal and reflect on it, instead of jumping into another relationship and risk unintentionally hurting the person or myself in the process.)

3.And thirdly, to apologize to my high school classmate, which literally passed thanks to me as I was always there for her when she needed me.

Continuing, she claimed that I needed professional help (for being sad after a family member died... like sorry dawg?), and told me that I needed to "stop playing the victim card with the deaths." It was an incredibly cruel thing to say to someone drowning in deep family grief and it hurt me. My family is my everything and dealing with loss is so frequently was a lot to process.

After that, since I really cared for Skyler and our friendship, I did apologize to everyone. Which, looking back at it, what the fuck. I even wrote a song for her on guitar (lowkey a banger lol) and send it to her to break the silence, but Skyler kept on spending time with my ex friends, replacing me entirely. She even hooked up with my ex situationship, yes that one, only to randomly call me and tell me about how amazing it was and how she is happy with her new friends.

To process my heartbreak, I finished an old fanfiction draft we had started writing together years ago based on our RPG characters. It became quite popular in the fandom, and writing it helped me finally find closure and let her go. (btw 11/10 recommendation, if you're dealing with something, just write a fanfic about it and you will be surprised how many things you will realize and how much lighter you will feel, plus bonus points for creativity)

Eventually, as months passed, Skyler and I started talking again, though it was very strained. I mentioned the fanfiction to her back then, she just laughed it off and didn't read it. I moved on. I forgave her in my heart, even though she never once apologized for the things she did and said to me.

Eventually my ex friends dropped her as they did to me and she came back where I was biting my tongue to say I told you so.

Fast forward to half a year ago. Out of nowhere, Skyler texts a public group chat we are both in, announcing that she is currently reading that fanfiction.

I jokingly told her not to read it. But as the conversation kept going in the group chat, I finally just said, "God, I really don't want to talk about that time in my life, I thought I was in love with you."

It was meant to be a fun little comment about the past, but she took as a deep confession. She sent me a long, defensive message in the group chat, to which I replied I'd like to think kindly as I had already let go. She has now completely ghosted the conversation and hasn't replied.

I feel incredibly weird that she brought this up in a public group chat instead of DMing me privately. Tho to be fair, ever since we "reconnected" if she wanted to text me, she always texted in a groupchat instead of our chat.

The messages for context:

Skyler’s Message:

"Its been over year and a half and you werent bothered to even discuss this matter with me ? When we were trying to get things back together after what happend? I felt so fucking bad and guilty since it was a stupid ass drunken mistake that will haunt me forever btw. In general it was a mistake But i felt like shit long after that and im still not Alr with it. And i knew it hurt u and you know I hate hurting people in general so hurting my bsf was on another level for me. And now you're telling me this just like som fiy like tf man...."

My reply:

"BROOO the only reason i didn't bring it up before was because i didn't want to make things awkward when we finally started talking again. i didn't want to ruin the vibe or fuck anything up even more you know? because at that time you didn't want to talk about it. And honestly, those were more just thoughts, than a fact. i said "i thought". i was confused about everything. myself, my feelings, our friendship and i didn't even fully know what i felt so that's also why i never called it anything, because all i knew was that i cared about you and that was enough for me. and you can be okay with it, truly. you don't have to feel bad or guilty or anything. you didn't hurt me physically and it doesn't matter how drunk i would be, i would stop you if that was the case. Because for example, I never viewed it as a mistake, more like a drunken memory. like yeah this happened, we had a good time and life goes on, i wont let it ruin our friendship. i mean, of course i love you and i always will, same as K. [Note: another friend in the chat], cause you two are my fucking G's. But for real, it's okay, we can laugh about it, a popular fanfic came out of it that held the charts lmao and we are still talking, take that as a win win. we can talk about it more if you'd like, if you have any questions on anything but fuck dont make me emotional or i'll write another fic, that's a threat and a promise (also please tell K to stop stressing over that mickey mouse of a man or i will loose it)"

Anyway, this was around last December. Ever since we haven't talked. Radio silence.

Just to be clear I don't hold any grudges against her or other people mentioned.

So please, AITA in this situation? Did I do something wrong, could I have done something differently? Should I reach out?

(Also to anyone wondering why am I still talking about it now on here, when I claim I moved on. Believe me, I did. I'm just incredibly bored, meaning I was reading the AITAH stories to pass the time and when I saw how engaging they are, I figured why not share this gem and help somebody else pass the time.)

Thanks in advance for replying and I hope you enjoyed this mess of a storytime.

Hi earth citizens,

so I have been struggling with cervical vertigo for half a year now. It started with intense neck and shoulder pain. I went to all kind of doctors over the course of the last few months and none of them helped. I also had MRI done which said that I have "military neck" (otherwise everything came out normal). I started going to physical therapy and rehabilitations, but the vertigo and the pain remains.

The spinning always happens when I move my head, so I know it's a mechanical problem. It affects my life greatly as it makes me unable to walk at times, have migraines or intense pressure behind eyes. I should probably mention, I got my eyes and ears checked as well, to rule out the vertigo causes, and all tests came out completely okay, so I know the problem is in the neck (not to mention I have spasms in my neck and my right side is constantly tense).

I have truly tried everything, from muscle relaxants, dry heat all the way through exercising and I still feel the same.

However I did find this wonderful Chinese doctor in my area who does dry needling so I decided to give it a go 2 weeks ago and I swear that after 3 needling sessions, the intense spinning and swaying were gone. Tho sadly, it is coming back. I am definitely planning on continuing with the dry needling and exercising daily, but a part of me is wondering if there is something more that I can do to help myself out and potentially get rid of it for good.

Please give me some tips, experience or anything really, to bring me some hope. I am quite anxious and feeling hopeless, as my life is constantly spinning.

Thank you so much in advance and also for even taking the time to read this. I hope all of you are having a lovely day!
