Master. I've disappointed you. I haven't been very appreciative of your training. I've been arrogant, and I apologize.

I need to rediscover my roots…

And by roots I mean that era from 2011-2015 when I was obsessed with Sydney Katharine Sage and Adrian Ivashkov.

Sometimes i think I do too much when I have a crush/ am in love, then I remember Adrian pretended not to know how to drive a stick shift so Sydney would teach him then pulled a tokyo drift to get her out of a dangerous situation

“padme amidala died 19BBY” “Padme Amidala died in 2003”

no Padme Amidala dies every time someone in charge decides to not include the impact she had on the galaxy in any Empire-Era show

As for me, my heart is oppressed in a way that astonishes me, and I wallow in a bottomless melancholy,

MERLIN 3.07 — The Castle of Fyrien

BBC Merlin was trending so I wanted to share a hot take:

All Arthuriana as we know it is fanfiction. We don’t really have a Core Text upon which everything is founded, it’s all just people building on each other’s ideas and adapting what they don’t like as much in other versions and putting their favourite characters center stage and taking away the bigoted parts of the stories and making the couples they like kiss.

It’s a beautiful thing!! A testament to human creativity!! And even when people don’t take the fandom seriously we should all remind ourselves that if we’d done this a few hundred or so years ago and our work was preserved, people would be studying it in a classroom.

“Some things are hard to write about. After something happens to you, you go to write it down, and either you over dramatize it, or underplay it, exaggerate the wrong parts or ignore the important ones. At any rate, you never write it quite the way you want to.”

having a quiet life is so.. underrated. i don’t mean it in the sense that people who’re open and loud and busy aren’t important, but when our culture has significantly put so much emphasis on the definition of success as fame, extraordinary accomplishments, greatness and importance and excessive wealth, i think there is so much power to be found in our own anonymity. in the silence of life. in not being constantly perceived, analyzed and performing for the world. in being able to take a walk, smile at strangers and just notice the world without all that noise. taking the biggest pleasure out of the smallest joys, like a cup of coffee or blowing out birthday candles. knowing that our lives don’t have to be a grand spectacle for others in order to have worth and cause a good impact.
