OKAY top three merlin couples!

WOO ALRIGHT SO

If I had to pick (keep in mind i’m barely onto season 3 so MAYBE i’ll change my thoughts in the next two parts of the series)

1) Merthur 🙏‼️💗

(I mean,,,, c’mon that’s like a given with how much I post about those two losers. Like wdym you’re destined to be with a man 🤨🤨🤨 and willing to die for each other within the first few weeks of meeting???🤨🤨 But fr tho I love the devotion these two share whether or not the writers realized how romantic it was. Like AUGH WHAT DO YOU MEAN MERLIN WAS WILLING TO BE BY HIS SIDE FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE AND ARTHUR COULDNT IMAGINE (even fantasize about his dream life on a farm) LIFE WITHOUT MERLIN WITH HIM- I need a second,,,,)

2) Morgwen 🫂💕 🥰

(They were just SO sweet together in the first few seasons I just- 😔😭 And I KNOW I may be biased since I’m a sucker for any wlw couples in media bc of how few there are BUTTTT I love these two. Which is why it’s SO SAD to see how they end up when so many things could’ve been easily reasoned if ppl on the show actually communicated but nooooo dEsTinY- Season 1&2 Morgana and Gwen you will ALWAYS be special to me 🙏🙏🙏)

3) Gwencelot 🫶🗣️💞

(OKAY OKAY so maybe I just like Gwen a lot BUT I will back up every iteration of Gwen and Lancelot in Arthurian media till the day I die. The longing???? pining??? unspoken love??? EVEN BEFORE SHE STARTED TO FALL FOR ARTHUR these two were SO cute together oh my gosh I’m gonna stop here so I don’t make a whole essay but as much as I love Gwen and Morgana, these two have my whole heart.)

In addition to all the very correct other things people have mentioned, I have a probably controversial take, but.

People have often been seeking the divine long before they are Christian. God is everywhere, and God makes Himself known to people even if those people don’t know the nature of God yet.

So when those people do find Christ, it is not unreasonable for them to look at the things that helped them feel closer to the Divine before and orient those things towards the true and living God.

So stop the puritanical pearl clutching at the faithful Orthodox Babushka who sees Christ in the practices her Baba passed down to her. I promise you Satan is not getting his power from the braiding of bread and gifting of salt.

Some people need to get used to the idea that some expressions of Christianity will resemble some expressions of paganism in some ways, and that doesn't mean that this expression is Christianity "actually pagan" or something. Christianity, like any other form of spirituality, is highly variable in actual practice.

"Tee hee look at these """Christians""" doing this silly little thing that's not even in the Bible... don't they know that's actually paganism???" Seriously, kill the reactionary Protestant pastor in your head and stop repeating cutesiefied Satanic Panic rhetoric.

Got possessed by the demons again

[devildogdemon]

I gotta be straight with y’all: in a story full of brutal maiming, unforgiving starvation, and scorched earth warfare, that R-i-i-i-p is probably the most real and painful thing to read for me. Every single time 😭 Being a dude, it’s a pain I also have the heavenly privilege of never knowing, which means it’s probably worse than I’m imagining 😬

It makes me feel even more for Katniss later on their Victory Tour. She’s absolutely fuming at the bullshit double standard of Peeta getting to sleep in AND keep his body hair while she has to be up early and stripped to the bone 😤 And she is so right for that. She even mentions how she actually liked the return of it 🥺 and they’re taking it away from her again 😠

This is why post-Mockingjay, I will accept nothing less than a Peeta Mellark who adores his furry-legged kitty. For one thing, he’s probably been checking out her legs since the sixth grade, hair and all. But more importantly, between now and the end of the story, he experiences probably the worst leg pain imaginable 😭 He sees no sense in being cruel to your legs, especially when you have the good fortune to still have two. He will kiss those hairy legs of hers every opportunity he gets. When Katniss speaks of them growing back together, there’s absolutely a literal component to it for me 🥰💚🧡

jily.

jily but it’s james constantly asking lily out/hitting on her/being annoying up until their fifth year

jily but it’s lily thinking james is making fun of her and hating him for being so irritating up until their fifth year

jily but it’s james and lily agreeing to be friends by the end of fifth year, and james accepting that all he’ll be is lily’s friend and that’s more than enough for him

jily but it’s lily slowly falling in love with james throughout sixth year but refusing to admit it because she’s stubborn and never wanted to be with someone like him

jily but it’s james and lily becoming really good friends, finding out things about each other that no one else knows, learning to respect and understand each other, and just overall having so much sexual tension it’s embarrassing

jily but it’s lily initiating their first kiss by seventh year, finally accepting how she feels, but also terrified james doesn’t feel the same way

jily but when they do kiss, james is so excited and taken aback, and all lily wants to do is kiss him, but eventually james pulls away and insists that he’s going to do this right, that he’s going to take lily out on a date

jily but when they do go on their first date, it’s so lovely and wonderful and perfect and they both agree to take things slow, but by the end of the night have sex

jily but they act like parents to the rest of the marauders, and spend their seventh year in love and happy and healthy, lily cheering james on during his quidditch games, james making sure lily doesn’t push herself too hard when studying, both of them balancing the other out in a way others never can

jily but they have their fights and their rough moments, but overall choose to love each other and choose to be their for each other, no matter if there’s a war waging outside their home

jily. just. jily.

kissing you on the mouth, thank you for putting this into words. I could never really justify why I disliked Basira, but it’s literally because she never stops being a cop and policing Jon. Poor man just acts like it’s all for his own good too.

She really tried to pretend like she saw Jon as human, especially s3 when Daisy was on her whole Jon’s a monster shtick, but by s4 they’ve switched places. Basira is the one who treats Jon like a monster while Daisy treats him like a person.

Idk if this is a hot take or anything but I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that Jon didn’t have any friends (besides Martin) basically the entire series.

Sasha was nice enough but she was strictly professional. Tim was reasonable in the beginning and I like to believe they were friends but honestly he’s pretty wary of Jon s1. Melanie hated Jon the whole way through. Georgie was there for a bit before things got too messy, but the way she treats him s5 is like a time bomb. Basira treated Jon like a stove with a broken gas release, and Daisy, my god Daisy. I could go on and on about their relationship but it was really clear after the trauma she inflicted on Jon he could never truly trust her.

They all feed into the theme of Jon’s inhumanity, but I remember listening and being confused because I always saw ppl treating this like a found family when they never were.

can’t think about hua cheng without almost melting i feel like xie lian like. genuinely. hua cheng is just So. his passion. his devotion. everything he’s done for xie lian. constantly believing at his best his worst all that came in between. how that passion translates his love through his art, carving statues and painting of his beloved God, getting him through the most nightmarish years of his life all so he can finally be together with his beloved after years of them being kept apart…..how he is so patient. so kind. so gentle with xie lian. and within that part of him is the rage for his beloved too…..that the world put him through so much. that the one who showed hua cheng how to live when he was still hong hong’er and being tossed aside by everyone but xie lian was the one who never ever did….. that he kept believing…coming back….in all his forms….all so he can finally be by xie lian’s side to protect him, love him, shower him with that passionate devotion and love he’s had for so long. hua cheng’s passion that translates into love is such a core part of his character. his passion is also his rage at the world, his revenge for those who wronged his beloved, his devotion and determination to stay on earth until he can finally be by xie lian’s side coming back again and again….it is his love above all that his passion embodies and it’s a beautiful and core part and part of who hua cheng is. he embodies passion and love above all, and it’s so incredibly beautiful.

Headcanon: If Kou ever did sports, Hanako would ‘cheer’ him on from the sidelines with his goofyass fans!! I say cheer in quotations cause it would be half “GO KID GO!!” and half “GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME YOU KICK LIKE A GIRL!!” like some kind of soccer mom.

thinking thoughts™️ again about another fic that’s way too real, and pictured eddie giving steve that understanding smile, saying , “yeah, changing the world gets a little old, doesn’t it, when the cost is your sanity.”

and steve mirrors him with a slight nod, “and when you realise you just wanna live your own life, not change everyone else’s. i feel like people shouldn’t need to take this long to realise that.”

“it’s the system, steve-o.” eddie fishes a cigarette from the pack, offering one to steve, who shakes his head with a polite smile. “people living their lives. what a rebellious thing to ask.”

steve watches him for a second, and it’s like he’s piecing together some kind of picture around him. eddie lets him; somehow he trusts steve not to get it all wrong. “you going to rehab to stick it to the man, hm?”

eddie takes a long drag of his cigarette, his eyes far away as he lets the smoke fall from his lips. “no. ‘m going to rehab because it took me too long to realise that i just wanna live my life. and because i think… because i think i’m actually ready. sounds so dumb, doesn’t it?”

“nah.” and steve sounds like he means it. eddie gets the feeling that he does. steve strikes him as someone who’s too genuine for his own good. maybe that’s his own way to keep changing the world even without that job. “sounds like you actually know what you’re talking about. that’s a good quality, you know? to get better. wanting to get better. for no one but yourself.”

“now you’re the one who sounds like he knows what he’s talking about.”

steve huffs and stuffs his hands into his pocket. “nah, man. i’m just the homeless guy who’s hot for your apartment and wants you out of the house asap so i can start my life. with your cat.”

eddie laughs as he snuffs out the cigarette beneath his boot. the keys dangle in his hand as he holds them out to steve, who looks at him, surprised.

“well, she’s yours, then.”

good morning here are some things that i just never really got around to posting

[silksongeveryday]

I had a super detailed hornet drawing planned but I didn’t get to finish it in time so instead I spent the last four and a half hours making a “quick” animation instead thinking it would be easier.

Only thing I can conclude after spending that long on an animation is that confetti is unreasonably hard to animate. And the end result doesn’t really look that good either lol, but I spent a while on it so I’m committing to it and posting it for tomorrow’s 1 year post

[cokowiii]

GETTING BACK INTO THE GROOVE OF THINGS!

It took a fat minute and the making of another story and shit but I needed to think a bit. I was trying to make things look perfect af in pages that it almost burnt me out

Imma be free-er/ sketchier from now on

Do u think what Kelly Donovan did to Tyler counts as SA

he was 17 and very drunk and she was a grown woman

I’ve seen people say it doenst count though like huh

Tyler being disliked in the fandom ties into how they feel on what happens to him. Kelly Donovan was the adult in the situation and 100% took advantage. Tyler is the same age as her children to really put it in perspective. She should’ve refused and controlled the situation. She is an adult, there is no excuses.

People say it doesn’t count because Tyler consented to it. Tyler’s a male, she’s an older woman so it should be seen as “sexy.” Sexual assault isn’t taken very seriously by the TVDU fandom because TVDU never wants to call it as it is. They rather sweep it under the rug.

Marcel and Rebekah are another example of when the woman needed to set boundaries versus taking advantage of the male. It’s Rebekah though and no one wants to call her a groomer but she looks like one when Marcel met her as a child and has had feelings for her since then. In none of Marbekah scenes with child!Marcel does Rebekah ever refuse Marcel’s advances. Katherine assaulted Stefan but that is glossed over.

Women are just as capable of being sexual predators.

Well, glad I could help! ..Even if the results were different than expected. If you need anything else, just let me know and I’ll answer as soon as I can.

The one post where someone recommended asking a silly question to ground the person almost immediately. I was trying to relate my silly question back to the post, which probably isn’t what the original advice had in mind.

I guess I could’ve suggested a current William headcanon mine instead, since it doesn’t have to be a question iirc. Guess I’ll go ahead and share it here, since it’s still on my mind.

I’ve honestly been tossing around this idea of him catching up on 30 years of pop culture with videos like this. Just random, nostalgia-fueled vids for those generations while also being decent recaps for a now-undead William.

(Just wait until he stumbles across Hatsune Miku lol.)

Anyway, hope you feel better soon. Again, if you need anything else, let me know.

I have committed angsty "William being a terrible father" thoughts. What do I do? IDK how to spin this back around You have the nice squishy William. Please help me fix this

(Note that I might be losing it a little rn so I might be normal again later)

As someone who’s also had “oh no what if William is a terrible father is canon and I’m dumb?” thoughts enter my inner monologues, I relate to this very much.

While I don’t have a foolproof method (mine just comes to stay for a bit, then leaves when my attention is refocused on something else), let me try one of those crisis things that you’ve re-blogged. See if that kickstarts something.

*ahem*

Riddle me this:

If William was this terrible, then why would he keep the Fredbear plush down in the bunker? What, is he secretly afraid or the dark of something? Does he need somebody to talk to even though nobody’s on the other end?

(Bonus: imagine I’m saying the above paragraph like I’m giving the smuggest, most condescending grin… while William’s fuming in the background. Hope this helps!)
