#but i am putting this to bed

[thighzp]

I'm genuinely asking so please truly explain to me why people are comfortable jumping to Nick's defense when people just say he should have been at the Emmys but will not say a single fucking thing about the bigotry and racism swarmed on Taylor daily. I know you haven't ever but almost everyone else that is jumping to Nick's defense hasn't so you aren't the only one. I need an explanation on why you refuse to acknowledge and call out the bigotry. Is it you doing it? Your friends? Do you agree with it? Do you not care about it? Do you not give a fuck about Taylor? Why do you people refuse to say absolutely anything at all about it? Just please explain it.

Okay this is the last anon I will be responding to and then I am turning off anons. It's fun sometimes but it gives people too much of an excuse to hide and say really nasty things. So that being said, let me answer your questions and then I will carry on with my day.

"jumping to nick's defense" -> i reblogged one post outlining a variety of reasons why someone decided not to attend an event and suddenly im on trial. i don't know nick galitzine's personal life and he is a grown man who can defend himself (though I still struggle to understand what he needs to defend himself for... the behavior of some of his fans? just fucking be better, people)

"why i refuse to acknowledge & call out the bigotry" -> people continue to say I have never said anything about it, despite many times I have literally said hollywood needs to do better, or engaged in discourse about how fucked it is that poc are having to start their own production companies just to get a crumb of recognition. there is legitimately no way to know what someone has or "has never" spoken about online. you know nothing about me outside of what I choose to reblog on the reblogging website, including the fact that I posted about this on my personal instagram yesterday when the new casting came out. sorry that everyone isn't privy to every personal thought i have. that being said. the bigotry in this industry, and currently rampant in this fandom, is SEVERELY fucked up and DEEPLY upsetting.

is it me doing it? -> no

is it my friends doing it? -> no

do i agree with it? -> no

do i not care about it? -> i fucking care about it a lot, actually

do i not give a fuck about taylor? -> i give a concerning amount of fucks about taylor and think he deserves the WORLD and if you spent more than one milisecond on my blog you would see the praise i am constantly showing this man

why do people refuse to say anything about it? -> because it will inevitably come with a slew of vicious anons who think they know everything about a person from one opinion they read online. i know people tend to have big opinions and big feelings about their faves, but just like be fucking nice to people. i have thick skin and have been able to laugh most of this off because i have better things to do with my life than argue with people online over grown ass men who don't need all of us little minions online jumping to their defeses.

so miss me engaging in any of this ever again, and if anyone still wants to call me a coward WHILE ON ANON, well that's simply why i'm disabling anons as soon as i post this.

have the day you deserve :)

Anyway, if Merlin was set in modern times, Arthur would have called Merlin his “gay awakening”.

after a lifetime of people using him for physical pleasure and discarding him when he was no longer useful, Andrew finally found someone who couldn't care less about sex and genuinely wants him for him, and he's going to spend the rest of his life with him <3

paintings I referenced here:

Gustav Klimt, Death and Life, 1908-1915 – Regulus' shirt has the same pattern as Death's cloak, James' shirt is patterned like the background of 'Life'

It was life and death, and death was there, on the left side of the canvas, waiting eagerly to pluck any one person from the conglomeration of life and claim them as its own. – chapter 28

Mark Rothko, Untitled (Seagram Murals), 1958 – Regulus bleeding out into the background

And he remembers looking out at the thick red blood on the marble floors and nonsensically, being reminded yet again, of Rothko. – chapter 34

Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky, Gathering Storm, 1899 – Regulus' socks have this pattern

'Hang painting here?' – chapter 37

and here some little details and an alternative bloody version :) look at that snake ring being handed over <33

I made a severe and continuous lapse in my judgement, and I don’t expect to be forgiven. I’m simply here to apologize

Hello, Spamton!

How's life? Also, do you have any opinions on the Addisons? (Pink, blue, orange, and yellow)

If so, what do you think of them?

[blitzwhore]

Hold on, man... I'm having Thoughts and Emotions...

What if Stolas and Octavia made plans to watch the solar eclipse together on Earth to make up for not seeing Azathoth's tears? And maybe Octavia suddenly suggested inviting Blitzø and Loona over as well, since they were all together that other time, too?

And when Blitzø sees the awkward text from Stolas inviting them (I'd understand if you're busy or would rather not come, but Octavia seemed keen on the idea of seeing Loona again), he isn't sure he wants to go, because things with Stolas have been so weird lately, and he's deeply in denial about the feelings they have for one another. But Loona kicks him in the butt about it because he's being stupid, and so he reluctantly texts Stolas trying to sound as nonchalant as possible (shur y nut, portal plz) while freaking out inside.

And he doesn't know what he was expecting as he crossed that portal, but a mountaintop above the clouds is definitely not it.

“Thank you for coming,” Stolas says, and Blitzø can't help but notice the way Stolas bows to him—and then he pushes that information aside, not knowing what to do with it. “I hope the localisation is fine, and not too cold. Anywhere else would've been too crowded.”

“It's whatever,” Blitzø shrugs, and hates the way some of the light leaves Stolas' smile. He's only been here for half a minute and he's already messed things up.

Next to them, Octavia is explaining the intricacies of solar eclipses in detail to Loona. Absent-mindedly, Blitzø notices the way Loona softens around Via, but keeps it to himself, not wanting to be kicked in the nuts. Instead, he looks around for a semi-comfortable stone and plops down on it, wincing when Stolas sits carefully by his side.

He's searching desperately for something to say when Stolas announces, “Look up, everyone, it's about to start!”

At first, Blitzø notices nothing. Well, nothing but the mild discomfort of staring directly at the sun.

But then he sees it. The moon—a corner of it, anyway—overtaking the powerful star. And, for a second, he can't breathe.

Of course, the partial eclipse lasts long enough that conversation sparks up again, though awkward and sporadic. Stolas asks about work, Via talks about the moon's mountains. Blitzø tries to quieten the voice that says he doesn't deserve to be here.

But when the total eclipse nears, they're all too entranced to talk. As darkness washes over the sea of clouds below them, the seconds seem to slow, and each of his heartbeats thrums through him, echoing in the ground underneath him. He's one with the earth and the sky, and, when it all goes dark, the whole universe stops breathing with him to experience this.

He only remembers to breathe when, in the complete darkness, he feels thin, long fingers curling around his own.

Too entranced to remember all the reasons why he's not allowed to want this, Blitzø squeezes Stolas' hand firmly back.

They are one. Of course they are. How could they not be, when the sun and the moon themselves are?

It's less than two minutes before the sunlight begins regaining its territory and washing away the darkness, but it might as well be a lifetime.

A lifetime he spends with Stolas' hand clasped firmly in his own, surrounded by their daughters, marvelling at the vastness of the universe. Feeling like, maybe, they're all insignificant enough to deserve all the love they can find.

But, inevitably, the moment passes and reality settles back in.

Blitzø doesn't want the moment to end, but, of course, the moment doesn't care. And, too scared to keep holding on to a hope that feels as fragile and ephemeral as an eclipse, Blitzø lets go of Stolas' hand.

[xxplastic-cubexx]

it doesnt need to be said but its genuinely so funny how at-the-hip charles and erik are in krakoa like they really had the green light- the OBLIGATION- to be as obnoxiously close to each other as possible and abused that right to the fullest extent
