#Do You See It

[ireallyneedaintrestinglife]

Everytime I see those scenes of Merlin calling Arthur fat and intending it as an insult I just get so upset. I know the show doesn't go super in depth into Merlins background as a peasant but like cmon he knows nothing of court rules and etiquette (episode 2 briefly mentions how he has to learn duelling etiquette which he still completely fucks up but still).

I think the show could've had a lot of fun exploring misunderstandings that arise as a result of their social status and if you're asking what plot relevance that has it can be Arthur learning to overcome years of Uthers horrible brainwashing.

Imagine if you will Merlin goes to compliment Arthur because he's feeling really down because Uther had told him to get close to a visiting princess and it DID NOT go well and Arthur was basically insulted appearance wise. So Merlin, being Merlin, goes to cheer him up by pointing out all the ways in which he looks good which results in him calling Arthur fat.

Arthur is understandably insulted, he's a prince and more than that a knight, he shouldn't be big by societies standards. So he's just standing there gaping at Merlin while Merlin has this big dumb content smile on his face cause he thinks he's just complimented Arthur (remember as a Peasant having meat on your bones was seen as attractive cause it meant you could actually eat).

Just a Reminder 👆

“We can lower the population if we do a really good job with vaccines by about 10-15%” - Bill Gates

Reminder not to take experimental injections pushed on you by those who are on record numerous times advocating for the depopulation of the planet.

It’s really not complicated stuff people. 🤔

something hilarious i'm seeing about Kong and Godzilla, and the ship gong/kongzilla/mothkongzilla is that people are saying that Kong is an old man.

spiritually, yes, he's a Perpetually Exhausted Old Man who just wants to take a nap with his adopted kids.

physically and chronologically, he's only recently reached maturity.

he was still growing in Kong: Skull Island which took place in the 70s, reached his full height in GvK which took place in the 2020s, is a little shorter than our boy Goji, and i think some of the comics put his birth around the 1700s?????

all the other titans were in hibernation at that point (on the surface at least), meaning that Kong is basically an 18 yr old and the ship kongzilla is a May/December romance LMAO

can you pick up what i'm putting down?

Mothra is a cougar, Goji is an Old Man, and Kong is out here living his Best Life as their sexy pool boy

no but for real I cannot stop thinking about little 18 year old agatha. little agatha who’s been betrayed by her coven, her family. who has the ability to draw power from others but can’t control it. who’s been told she’s evil and can’t ever be good. and then this agatha meets death — death who thinks that ability is beautiful. that it’s a gift. that calls her witch killer, not as an insult but as endearment. do you see the vision. do you see it

Player: Gale Dekarios… I think I like him more. Gale: You like so many things about me I’d have sooner discarded… Your generosity is quite wonderful. Gale Dekarios likes you too. Very, very much. Though let's keep his existence between us for now.

so listen i had this thought that i will inevitably never flesh out completely but in my mind....bakugou ends up being a young, single dad. and in the beginning it's terrible—he's a pro hero for god's sake, but he can't figure out how the hell to take care of a baby. his mother tries to help him but when you give him an inch he takes a mile, so he just kind of. makes himself scarce for a while. and mitsuki is so preoccupied with keeping his baby alive that she doesn't really notice at first. but when he's gone for a week straight, she's like. oh. oh no. he takes one step inside the house and she's immediately like. this is the type of man you are?

and that does something to straighten him out—but it leaves him with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. so he raises his little girl to be a soldier. she's always polite and self-sufficient, even as a toddler. it feels necessary, because he's still very much an active hero and he can't always be around—but then she gets older and he's not quite sure how to interact with her like he should and she has that same rage he knows like the back of his hand and he's like oh shit.

i imagine meeting you feels inconsequential at first—you're a neighbor or something, and you notice that it's just the two of them. you run into each other enough times that it feels weird that you haven't introduced yourself yet, so you do, and things progress from there. but it's slow—he's busy and guarded and so are you, really—you lived through that war too and under no uncertain terms did you intend to be someone's mother. and evidently his daughter feels the same, because when you meet her for the first time, it's the only time bakugou has seen his daughter cry since she was a baby.

and i think it takes years for her to warm up to you. open hostility turns to a numbed indifference, but you break her down slowly—you don't feel like you have much of a maternal instinct but there's a clear lack of something that she needs that bakugou just can't give. so you try your best to just be there—to be something new that she can take or leave as she pleases.

you don't think you're doing a great job and things still feel very strained for a while. except one day there's an accident. someone breaks into your place or something? and you're fine, but it's really poor timing, because bakugou's daughter gets home from school to find an ambulance and several police cars in front of the building. and she just loses it—some cop tries to stop her from getting through the front door and you catch her frantic eyes over his shoulder—

"move—that's my fuckin' mom—"

and even in the chaos, something in you settles. she finally gets around him—later you find out she bit him but bakugou's manager takes care of it before her dad catches wind of it—and nearly takes you out with the force of her hug. it makes you snort.

"i'm fine, kid," you press a kiss to her blonde hair, "and watch your mouth."

Consider this AU idea: The influence of Xin Mo blackens Bingge further and further till Bingge remains a husk of who he was. He becomes exceedingly vicious and insane and then when the Bingmei vs Bingge showdown happens, he finally snaps.

Why does this Binghe have a loving Shizun? Why is Bingge, lord of all the realms, owner of an expansive harem not as happy as this Bingmei is?

The thoughts drives him crazy. Xin Mo’s influence and his unstable thoughts cause him to have a qi deviation that takes his life and he resurrects in the body of a random twelve year old kid. He is still fending for himself in the streets but this time around, he is also a part of a group of kids who beg to make ends meet.

One of the kids is Shen Jiu.

And this is Bingge’s chance! His Shizun is alive and well and maybe not an immortal master at all but Bingge is confident he can make him to be his loving master.

They spend time together but it’s so painfully obvious to him that Shen Jiu is so infatuated with Qi Ge that he treats everyone around him like dirt

It drives Bingge mad. He is so pissed at him that he leaves him be and nearly marches off alone to live his life and start on his path of destruction again but before he can do that, Shen Jiu gets caught by the Qius in an attempt to save Bingge

Guilt stricken and horrified, Bingge resolves to save Shen Jiu. He travels, trains and works hard and gets Shen Jiu out before Yue Qi does

(He slaughters everyone in the Qiu manor )

they go off to find a new master for themselves. Shen Jiu and Bingge get accepted in CQM and when Shen Jiu sees YQY there, he is heartbroken but not as he was in the OG timeline.

Because Bingge is.. well Bingge is something?

They grow closer all the while Bingge, without the influence of Xin Mo, slowly turns into the fragile glass hearted maiden he is supposed to be as god intended. He cooks for Shen Jiu everyday, he treats him with care. At some point he realizes that this man and the man he encountered in the other world can’t possibly be the same but he likes Shen Jiu so much better

He likes his fiery personality, his unbroken resolve and determination to always be the best. He likes that Shen Jiu is not above being petty and vindictive. What he likes the most that beyond his prickly exterior, Shen Jiu cares so deeply. He likes it all so much.

At some point he realises he is happier than he ever was.

And maybe he never does get that loving Shizun but it’s fine. He doesn’t mind being Shen Shixiong’s doting husband anyway

Now imagine his surprise when he meets Luo Binghe.

Imagine his surprise when he is accompanied by another kid called Shen Yuan

Imagine his surprise when he realizes this Shen Yuan is suspiciously like the Shizun he encountered in the other universe.

And imagine he doesn’t give a fuck in the end anyways because the life he built for himself is good
