one of my favorite parts of persona q1 & q2 are these lobby animations theyre so goood

[emrys-merlin]

I just love Merlin loving magic, those moments are the best ones for me. The dragon out of fire, the butterflies, the horse out of smoke, the flying lights...it's just so Merlin, and it makes your heart ache how badly he just wants to make pretty things

It's so great to see how happy magic makes him, and how badly he wants Arthur to feel that too (and not only Arthur)

It's what's so good about his character, he stays optimistic and good, despite all this hate and murder.  Even in season 5, yes. The fact that when he gets his magic back he could do whatever he wants, and he chooses to create butterflies

This particular scene makes me sad. Look at him

Merlin doesn’t have a whole lot of opportunity to use his magic for fun really, you can see how badly Merlin wants to be free. It's something tragically beautiful.

FIC: Mixed Company

Title: Mixed Company Author/Artist: Sage_Owl Pairing(s): Merlin/Arthur, Freya/Gwen/Morgana Prompt: Merlin/Arthur. Holiday Party Invite Mix-Up! Somehow Arthur’s invite to his family’s annual swanky Masked Yule Ball/Charity Gala at the estate/corporate offices/whatever fancy place winds up in Merlin’s post, while the notice for Gwaine’s annual Ugly Jumper rager at the local pub where he and Merlin work winds up in Arthur’s post. What happens when they both decide to go with it? (Events must be on different dates, obviously, so they can interact at both; up to you how/if they know one another previously or have recently moved into the same building, village, etc.) Word Count: 5,020 words Rating: Teen and Up Contains: * Light Drinking, Swearing, Gratiuitous Christmas fluff* Disclaimer: Merlin characters are the property of Shine and BBC. No profit is being made, and no copyright infringement is intended. Notes: Many thanks to my beta, thesongistheriver, for the excellent edits and for cheering me on! Any remaining mistakes are my own.

Summary: A mixup in the mail leads to masquerades, glitter, scancal, glue guns, pining, and a very grumpy gingerbread man.

Ladies of the Ring 💍✨

There’s this phenomenon that isn’t quite queerbaiting, and therefore shouldn’t be called that in my opinion, but there isn’t a specific word for it as far as I know. Basically the phenomenon where a couple isn’t explicitly shown to be a couple on screen (usually due to corporate homophobia), but is definitely intended by the creators to be a couple.

Edit: The two phrases that have been brought up in the comments are queer-coding and Herero-baiting. I’m partial to the latter.
