fake dating!arthur panicking after being cornered by a princess/noblewomen and saying that merlin is his husband bc he was the first person he thought of bc he doesn’t want to court or marry this woman, he wants to marry merlin. so now the two of them have to keep up this charade while visiting/being visited. arthur dressing merlin in fine clothing and crowning him for feasts just as merlin has always crowned him but now they sit side by side at the table instead of him sitting and merlin standing a few feet away. arthur and merlin holding hands and linking arms and trying not to seem to eager to finally have an excuse to hang off the other. everyone getting tipsy enough on wine and relaxing from Queens and Kings to people that happen to be royalty and speaking freely, them asking merlin and arthur how they fell in love bc wtf the king of camelot married a fucking servant??? a peasant??? and merlin (lightweight, finally had access to alcohol all evening instead of standing sober for an hour) engages easily enough and tells the story of how they met and then when he first started to catch feelings which is entirely truthful but arthur is convinced he’s making it up for their ruse so he decides to match his energy and tell his side of things of when he first caught feelings which is again entirely truthful but merlin is convinced its for their ruse.

anyways arthur watches as merlin loosens up and lights up the room with his smile and eyes and his joyful energy and he’s captivating everyone in the room as they hang onto every letter his lips spell out and he starts to imagine it’s all genuine, that he truly is married to merlin and this was a feast to celebrate them and their union. merlin speaks of how their courtship, engagement, and marriage was rather sudden (his eyes glitter mischievously when he looks over at arthur as he says this and arthur can’t help but share a conspiratorial grin at his sly comment) and how he feels like a fish on land or like everyone else knows the dance, when to step, where to step, how to step yet he didn’t even know there’d be music playing, he talks of how he feels out of place and one of the royals is like “do you regret your marriage then?” and merlin is slow to answer but not because he’s unsure but just bc he’s thinking over a reality in which he does marry arthur and how he would feel in that position.

he finally answers and is like “i mean to say, everything is different and challenging, yes, but he’s been with me every step of the way. he’s been my rock and,” he turns his head to stare at his king, “he makes it all worth it.” and arthur looses his breath. he reminds himself its an act over and over again but his heart can’t help from pounding against his ribcage in an attempt to escape into merlin’s soft hands. merlin’s lips aren’t moving but he can hear his voice say something softly but his brain is too foggy to comprehend what he’s saying. arthur just about manages a shaky smile and nod and then merlin is reaching up toward his face and crowding in and then he’s kissing (kissing) arthur in front of everyone and arthur can’t pay any attention to that when merlin’s lips are pressed against his. just as he presses back, merlin pulls away and turns to smile at the other royals and the feast continues but arthur is barely aware of that bc he can’t pull his eyes away from merlin’s glowing profile as he continues his conversation with the rest of the royals

anyways merlins knowledge of royal duties is from watching arthur work through it and helping where he can so when they ask him what it was like jumping from a servant to a royal he has a great answer of it not being easier or harder but just that he faces a different set of challenges and that there are pros and cons to both lives and it just gives all these royals another perspective on how they rule and arthur is just sitting there giving him heart eyes bc merlin is literally acting like a royal and its just fueling his fantasy of being married to merlin and having him as his king. before their ruse, he considered the possibility often as a late night fantasy, but now that he’s seen a glimpse of what merlin would be like at his side, he can’t help but need it like he needs air

(Mostly about the fandom)

EVERYONE NEEDS TO CHILL THE FUCK OUT. It's actually *insane* how much negativity there is. "Oh new ep sucked and was so "MLP power of friendship" okay cool good for you except you bitched about a possibly tragic ending before so I don't wanna hear it! "Uzi is so cringe!" cool good for you, that's been the entire show (in the most positive way possible) and maybe she's just not for you. "Oh nuzi was just fanservice" if you believe that I'm going to need to understand show was pre-written, nothing changed besides the vampire storyline for Disassembly Drones. You don't ship it? Good for you! Don't harass others and *certainly don't fucking doxx liam TWICE.* "Oh i hate envy and they can't ship it anymore it's not canon" that's the beauty of shipping, you can ship whatever you want!! (Within reason ofc) and don't harass those who do ship it. if they aren't going after others, don't go after them.

The toxic shippers need to CHILL the fuck out, and this is coming from a SUPER big Nuzi shipper. I am over the moon that they're canon, but both sides fucking SUCK. you all constantly make the other out to be the worse when you both equally suck. Instead of dedicating your life to hating on fictional robots holding hands, you're gonna need to go touch grass and maybe go hold hands with a ship you hate. I've gotten *death threats* for the record, for shipping Nuzi, told it was delusional and weird etc etc, so I'm coming from a place of experience.

My envy friend? Gotten told off and shit for shipping envy. It's literally a two way battle y'all, you all just don't *want* to see the other side.

If a ship of two robots that is LEGAL bothers you that much, you need to get the fuck off the internet and go to therapy.

its the 29th for me i get to post the meme

So yknow how I just said I would do writing dumps? Yeah well uh

It was weird really. Everyone saw it, but no one ever commented. Why would they? He was obviously not from here, he wasn't used to the customs of Teyvat.

It made Albedo 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 curious. He needed to know what it was that made this man tick. Why he never spoke unless he had too, why he was so set on helping everyone, even if they hurt him, why he was so good natured no matter what people did to him. It was driving the chalk-man insane.

He had to know. He had to know why that pretty blonde would swat at the air around his head when nothing was there, why he would act like he could see things others couldn't, why in the name of the 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘴, was he able to summon stars at his will? He didn't do anything with them, he just looked at them. He stared so longingly at them, like he yearned to be near them. Like he was familiar with them.

It was always the same pattern of stars. The same little constellation. Sure, he looked at it from different angles, but it was always the same set. Why were these little stars so important to him? Why did he smile so fondly looking at them one moment only to look away from them with glossy eyes the next? He held such an obvious connection to these stars, but why? They really didn't look like anything in particular. It was just a small set, some simple stars that really weren't anything special.

This guy would drive him mad.

This traveler from another world, the Honorary Knight of Favonius, The Hero of Liyue, The Enemy of Eternity, Captain of Swordfish II, The First Sage of Buer, he was renowned and loved all around Teyvat, he had impossible strength for a human, he had the prettiest of eyes- What in the world? What kind of thought was that? Albedo felt mad. He must've been. He had to be.

Oh Archons, not right now. A familiar high pitched voice rang through his cold lab, and in sauntered the man of the hour. The traveler himself. He always had such 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 timing, didn't he?

"What can I do for you, traveler?" Albedo asked, scanning his eyes over the man. Of course, Paimon spoke for him. "Well, Sucrose had said you might need help with something! We haven't spoken in a while anyways, so the traveler decided to stop by!" Her voice was like nails on a chalkboard. It was loud, piercing, how in the world did the traveler spend so much time with her? Another mystery of the man. His ridiculous tolerance for all things agitating.

The man in question stepped closer, running his hand along one of the book cases. When he spoke, his voice was comforting, calming, like honey in tea, like an experiment going perfectly. "Well, that and, Lisa says you borrowed a book a while back and haven't returned it. Is there a reason for that?" Of course, playing errand boy again. Albedo turned, skimming over a pile before picking up a book with a red cover. "It's this one." He said, smoothing his thumbs over the top. The traveler took the book, securely sliding it into his bag. "Well, thank you! Now miss Lisa won't come knocking at your door! Er... Uh, cave... wall?" Paimon said, settling a hand near her face. She floated around the traveler, reminiscent of a rather annoying fly. Although, Albedo did wonder how she flew so easily. It didn't make sense, she didn't have a glider, she didn't have wings, she didn't have any obvious magic, so... How did she do it? A mystery for another time he supposed.

"Have you eaten yet? It's getting late." Albedo said, surprising even himself with the proposal. Paimon's eyes lit up at the idea of food. She was quick to volunteer the traveler to hang around for a while.

Albedo whipped up some quick food, something hot. Pain in finished hers, then ate at least half of the travelers. He decided not to comment on the two's weird dynamic. Albedo's eyes caught on the traveler, the way his eyes were suddenly a bit dull, like he wasn't all there. Was he zoning out? The little episode didn't last long, only about three full seconds. As soon as the man snapped out of it, he pressed his hand to his neck, seemingly making sure there wasn't anything there. "Are you alright?" Albedo asked, hoping the man wasn't reacting poorly to the food. The man in question nodded, finishing his plate and setting it on the stack with Paimon's and Albedo's. That was... Odd.

After some idle chatter and a few thanks, he was gone. He looked so pretty, sitting there, eating the food Albedo had made him. It was a nice change of pace to the man's usual feist.

Where did these thoughts keep coming from?

He never got to run his experiment.

alex hirsch was really just so pissed that no one saw his epic old man yaoi that he went and wrote a whole new book and made a whole website specifically to show meticulous evidence that this weird old man fucked a triangle.

he really said what were ford and bill really doing in that pocket dimension they shared, hm? did you ever think of that? oh - you think it was just chess? hm. interesting. i dont.

"How come there's no multi-war chess?"

Tim looked up at the entity that had been haunting him for the past few weeks now, "What does that even mean?"

"You know how chess is basically a game about two kingdoms going to war with eachother?" The being asked, his white gloves gesturing about lazily, "well wouldn't it make sense for chess competitions to make the players go into the next round with only the pieces that "survived" the last war? It would be more interesting."

Danny smirked as he watched Mr. Drakes mind whirring at all the new strategies and potential. Comforted in the knowledge that Mr. Drake wasn't going to get much paperwork done tonight, let alone have time to work on his project for the competition, Danny let himself vanish from the other boys office.

All he needed to do was keep distracting Tim from the competition and that prize was all Tuckers.

He just prayed Sam didn't find out he was doing this or that he was getting chased around by bats every other night or else she'd kill him the rest of the way

The way some of yall mischaracterize Ratio as being stoic in chill when in reality he is 24/7 resisting the urge to rip everyone around him a new one is crazy to me like. He cares so much, so much. It’s unhealthy, he loses the idgaf war every time because Ratio is the least nonchalant person ever like

He was this close to breaking character and throttling Sunday like you cannot tell me he wasn’t planning a murder in this scene. Ratio straight up calls Sunday a crazy bitch but everyone brushed it aside 😭

Honestly his entire conversation with Screwllum is just him tweaking, watch it on YouTube the VAs performance is amazing, you can here just how much He Cares

Genuinely, Aventurine is way better at concealing his true feelings that Ratio. Ratio may be acting for the sake of the plan but the way he truly feels about anything he’s doing always seeps through, it’s why he apologizes to Aventurine in 2.0 in their staged argument scene. It’s why he is as mean to Sunday as he can be. It’s why him pretending that he “hates” Aventurine makes him act so silly. Ratio can’t fully commit to the bit, he can’t force himself to not care or to be someone he isn’t, because fundamentally Ratio CARES and that is something he is incapable of hiding, alabaster bust or not.

The problem is that him expressing his care is often done in a rude and/or blunt manner which people tend to interpret as stoicism or apathy when it’s anything but. Ratio’s vial that he gives to Aventurine is short, sweet and gets straight to the point, because that’s the easiest way for Ratio to express his emotions, even if it’s often detrimental for him and anyone else around him. However Aventurine understands him quite well, and knows that although brief, Ratio telling him to “stay alive, survive this and keep on living” is how he truly feels towards Aventurine, and that’s enough to keep him going.

Underneath Ratios carefully crafted marble facade is a man who cares so much and is so bad at expressing it and I wish the community in general, especially Aventio shippers would acknowledge that more. Ratios true moments of sincerity are brief, but they are anything but stoic. Let the man be soft, it’s in character.
