I actually convinced that at least 85% of the characters in Merlin are bisexual.

Prove me wrong.

Guess who is making a MERWAINE edit?!?! 🥰

(okay kind of a romantic doomed merwaine with a bit of merthur thrown in, but it seemed like THE PERFECT SONG)

[wackom]

Good job everyone!

"Every Sophont is a Seed" is a really good HDG fic. Sarah rages like a force of nature, her resistance to the Affini is incredibly strong-willed and really feels like a proper fight (despite, you know, the inevitable). There's good reason for it too- to be THAT much of a fighter, you can't just be intelligent and stubborn, but genuinely, well, mentally unwell and destructive. The arc is going to be a long and richly deserved one.

Also it's hot, also it's regularly updated.

I am OBSESSED with the way that the Machine glitches for the audience once the virus is installed. At first, I noticed the blue screens of doom popping up on occasion. I was like, “Huh, that’s new, isn’t it?” and then it happened more often and I was like, “Husband, I think the Machine is glitching for us. The virus is messing it up!!! Look!” So then he started paying attention to it, too.

And then we get to the final few episodes and it’s so noticeable, and we see how the screen is messing up all the time, and I just really appreciate that they did it that way. Talk about visual storytelling!!! My GOD!!! They don’t do shows like that anymore!!!!

My all-time favorite horror/halloween movie! Halloween 4: The return of Michael Myers

[im-an-anthusiast]

ok here goes

I think all the punctuation and spelling and stuff are correct but idk I’m half asleep

A hawk and a dove spiral in the air,

The hawk is the stronger of the pair.

Talons scratch and beaks tear.

Red mist rises from the ground,

As mortal fates are broken beyond repair.

The wolf bites its captors’ talon,

Two teeth crack as the third pierces deep.

The whole animal kingdom is awoken,

as metal fills the air and toxic gas coats your lungs.

The Kaiser comes to his cousins aid,

As the bulldog barks at the golden eagle.

The bear; heavy, slow, and powerful; 

Comes to the wolf’s side.

Across the sea the starry eagle slumbers,

yet sources supplies for its father and siblings.

The sun never sets on this empire,

nearly in its dying days,

raising a grand army from its rule of the waves.

‘neath those same waves our golden eagle dives,

Sinking cargo to the ocean floor.

A lone ship; the Lusitania becomes a victim

This, and a fateful message wakes the starry eyed eagle;

after three years of slumber,

devil dogs and trench monkeys are sent to foreign shores.

Tigers, Emus, and Kangaroos clash with Eagles, Lions, and Turkeys in a battle for the ages.

A war to end all wars is fought across the world

New technology advances the slaughter 

Gas, machine guns, tanks, and flamethrowers

Bodies pile in towers that touch the sky,

roads and houses disappear in constant shelling.

A question begging to be answered

What is the price of a mile?

I think you've done a great job! I quite like the imagery and the wording, and the energy that brings it all together

The rhyming feels slightly inconsistent though? And the tempo can feel a little clunkly at times

sunlight and Junora please Evie 💖

Rae, how lovely!! Coming right up! ♡

“Ugh, the sunlight is killing me.” “Not me,” Nora says. She sounds way too happy for someone about to walk out on a red carpet totally blinded. “Here you go, babe.” They’re sunglasses—but not just any sunglasses. They’re pink with mint green polka dots, the same color scheme as the 60s inspired movie Nora is directing. Attached to each side is a small white bow—the exact same as in the logo of the movie. “Oh my God. You did this?” Nora winks at her. “Anything for my leading lady. Now, you ready?” “Yeah.” June grins at her. “Let’s fucking go.”

friendo I have a theory

I hope you won’t hate it

it’s about what happened to Nicky in the basement I think I figured out what happened to him down there

I don’t think your gonna like what I think it is

It’s Aaron

Aaron has been the one hurting Nicky down there

and I have so much to back this up

first off

let’s take a look at nicky

he’s completely out of it definitely not in the right mind set

he keeps taking about stuff like he’ll keep playing games if he doesn’t get hurt again

now who would be playing games down there with him?

definitely not Mr Peterson (I think) he’s a fully grown man

only a child would want to play games (I’m pretty sure)

who else could be down there in the basement that’s a child

Aaron

now why would Aaron hurt Nicky?

well in hello neighor hide and seek we see that after Aaron’s mother dies he becomes more angry more controlling towards Mya

eventually leading him to push her off the roof

and if we assume that Mya already died (I’m pretty sure she did)

then that death would’ve hurt Aaron even more

it would’ve made him even more mad

especially after getting lock up in his basement by his father

He also must’ve been in that same room with nicky (the one with the fake windows)

it may explain the dolls that are torn in that room too

Mr Peterson must’ve gave them something to play with

so he gave them dolls he had (cause they were the only dolls he had)

but instead of playing with these dolls Aaron got mad he tore them all up to take out his anger on something else besides nicky

or the dolls could be torn up cause Aaron wanted to make a mask with the dolls materials

why would Aaron be the one making the mask Nicky wears?

well I think he made the mask for nicky cause he no longer has his sisters doll to play with

In the games we see Mya has a doll that represents Aaron and hers mother

Aaron after their mother dies takes the doll from Mya

he’s using it as a coping mechanism to deal with his mothers death

but since he (probably) no longer has that doll with him down in’t he basement he needed a new doll a new toy to cope with

that’s where Nicky comes into play

the mask Nicky wears represents him being a doll a toy to Aaron

he’s no longer a person to Aaron he’s a plaything

that’s why he gave that mask to Nicky

why would Nicky even wear it?

well we see Nicky say short sentences like “wrong! Wrong way! Not right!” Or “all wrong no way out”

these sound like things Aaron must’ve repeatedly told him

he must’ve said things like “that’s the wrong way” or “that’s not the right way” to Nicky to get it stuck in his head to get the message across

basically teaching Nicky to obey him

otherwise Nicky would get hurt

so he must’ve told Nicky that it’s safe when he wears that mask

that it’s safe in the room nicky stays stuck in

he wouldn’t wanna be alone down in the basement again

so he must’ve told Nicky that going up stairs was wrong

or that could’ve been mr Peterson telling him to stay in the basement

could be both

also another thing is that when the rescue squad managed to knock down the fake windows Nicky knew exactly where to go

Nicky must’ve knocked those down before trying to escape

or trying to set Aaron free

cause when he gets to that crow door

he repeats “open the door” over and over

He’s saying that cause Aaron has called to him multiple times telling him to open the door

when he sees trinity trying to go through the door he panics

why would he tell trinity to not go through the door

maybe cause he doesn’t want trinity getting hurt too

After he tells trinity to not open the door he says over and over “I'm sorry”

he’s scared cause he told someone to not set Aaron free

he thinks Aaron’s gonna get mad at him for that

that he’s gonna hurt him again

Why he asks trinity if the game their gonna play is safe

is probably because Mr Peterson has told Aaron and Nicky the games they play are not safe and punishes Nicky in some way

or it could be Aaron saying that cause he doesn’t want to get in trouble and get sent back to his own room for not being safe around the basement

like his father told him to

Mr Peterson doesn’t want Aaron getting hurt so he keeps him locked up in that crow room

but at the same time he doesn’t want him being lonely so he gives Aaron someone to play with

but still keeps him locked up in the fake windowed room

so he still doesn’t go anywhere but now has someone

sorry this was so long

this was probably a horrible theory

sorry I just had to tell someone I couldn’t not tell anyone any longer

Hope you didn’t hate it

THIS

This had awakened me from my fandom hibernation

I do like this theory but I think most of it will depend on how the show characterizes Aaron going forward and how similar it is to the books.

I was working with the idea that the crow room was where the guest lived, though Aaron being their could explain his absence in the show so far since based on the basic timeline he should still be chilling in the basement.

I think you're onto something with the dolls though, especially considering the importance of Miya's doll and how the show emphasized Nicky's mask.

Also don't apologize >:00

This wasn't a bad theory at all and I certainly didn't hate it!
