Idk if i read this in a fic or my delusional sick ass made this up, but can you guys imagine like Merlin with canonical curls and Arthur having a serious thing for them. Like his hair is always too short to see, but then one day Merlin just like was soo incredibly busy that he just forgot about his hair for weeks and then Arthur notices and like

short-circuits.

Bonus points if merlin is kind of insecure about his hair, because lets be real most curly kids are at some point, and we get fluff. Like just cotton flufff. Because turns out people like his hair??? Which makes merlin really happy but a little awkward, and then we get to see the nice side of arthur because Arthur can make fun of merlin, but god forbid merlin actually thinks something bad about himself.

Because god merlin is so cute. And arthur will be damned if he lets that cute, gorgeous, handsome- wait what? Nm he'll analyse that later. He'll feel bad if merlin is insecure, because then he can't insult him properly. Yep, thats what he's going with.. Nothing further.

Of course, its not a merlin fic without emotionally-repressed!arthur pretending to not be a simp.

James finds him in the common room, in his usual spot. He drops into the seat across from him, his chest heaving as he struggles to catch his breath, still winded from his sprint back from the Astronomy Tower. “I have a favour. Can—”  James’s words are cut off by Sirius holding up a singular finger, his focus unwavering on the book in his hands. He reclines lazily in one of the armchairs by the fire, his legs stretched out as though he owns the place. His eyes move leisurely down the page, utterly unbothered by James’s interruption, before he turns the page with deliberate care. James leans forward in his own chair, making a loud scoffing sound. “Padfoot.” “Sh.” Sirius’s finger grazes the page as though it’s made of something rare and delicate, his expression one of exaggerated reverence. When he finally reaches the bottom of the page, he delicately folds over the corner before closing the book with a decisive thud. Then, with maddening slowness, he crosses one leg over the other, rests the book on his lap, and clasps his hands atop it. His face is serene, but his eyes glitter with mischief as he regards James. James stares at the folded corner in visible disgust. “All that, and you’re going to defile it by folding the page over? Use a bookmark, you neanderthal.” Sirius tilts his head, his expression mockingly thoughtful. He flips the book open again, looking down at it as if consulting its wisdom. “Huh,” he hums, tapping the spine lightly. “It’s strange because I thought you started this interruption with a request for a favour. But since you’ve insulted me and—” “Okay, okay,” James interrupts, exasperated. He leans forward, swatting the book shut. “I’m sorry. Can we focus?”

A Breath Before Leaping

Written for the 2023 Wheel of Drarry, a Secret Santa fic exchange

Ron leaned forward in a clumsy swoop to slap him across the shoulder, shaking him once more. "There you go, mate! Easy. Didn't even have to put your foot in your mouth this time. It's all in the hips, yeah? You swept - no, danced him off his feet!" He slid back into Hermione's side, laughing at his own joke. Harry, feeling awfully sorry for himself, let out a chuckle to humor Ron more than anything.

"No, Ron! Communication!"

"Ah, right then. Of course. Harry!" Ron did his best to pull together a serious face. "You better come clean tonight! After you clean up: yourself that is. You know—" He leaned in closely, a hand cupped around his mouth. "—Get all prepped or whatever for getting down with the ferret."

"Ronald!" Hermione cried.

"What? What'd I say?"

———

It was a nerve wrecking pleasure to write my very first fic for @cavendishbutterfly but I couldn’t leave it alone and had to wedge in a drawing as well!

“I learned with concern that a French researcher” on assignment for the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) “who was traveling to a conference near Houston was denied entry to the United States before being expelled”, Philippe Baptiste, France’s minister of higher education and research, said in a statement on Monday to Agence France-Presse published by Le Monde. “This measure was apparently taken by the American authorities because the researcher’s phone contained exchanges with colleagues and friends in which he expressed a personal opinion on the Trump administration’s research policy,” the minister added.

“Chris.. i miss him.”

“Me too bro, me too..”

Half the reason I have always loved Star Trek is because of this wonderful future it has presented, one where man continually battles it's worst instincts and somehow comes out ahead of it. Where we ran into the wall of greed and destruction and hatred and managed to come out the other side a kinder, better species. A world where, even when the worst of humanity still bleeds into life, it's something being battled, being overcome, rather than a bleak, dark future that is unavoidable.

The other half of the reason why I love Star Trek is that I have been down bad for Beverly Crusher since before I knew what having a crush was, and my soul shall never stray far from the sky that is her eyes.

The Crew Meets Saphron for the First Time

I was leafing through some character stills yesterday for a whole other meme I was making when I saw this one of Blake with an absolutely maniacal look upon her face seeing Saphron for the first time, and I just knew I had to throw something together. It just looked too funny to pass up.

The show has this sort of off-screen friendship between Jaune and Blake going on. Do they do bookclub together? I don't know, but little bits like this really sneak it in. She is so ready to bang meet Jaune's sister. Blake wants the blonde harem to go through the childhood stories and pics, gather some blackmail material.

That scene in general is too good, so much going on. The sibling energy with Jaune, who totally knows his sister will embarrass him. It comes with Oscar, with that vacant look on his face and his hands tucked into his pockets and everything! Qrow in the background having none of it. Yang and Nora! Ren lookin’ too cool. Weiss with that wholesome smirk.

Then Ruby absolutely pops off, living her best life! It’s inspirational.

Absolutely wild that people will just put things on the internet for free purely so I can have emotions about them

So everyone knows luigi's mansion. How you need to save poor brother Mario. Every time you come across him he just looks so not okay. But this, this beautiful image from the booklet just shows him SO perplexed. Like he's contemplating so hard, guess this is how it feels on the other side. Dudes not freaked or nothin just mildly disappointed and confused. Guy deals with evil mansions full of bad guys all the time and he just doesn't question the glowing green mansion that growls at passersby. He literally walked right into it. Lugi is never gonna let him live it down.
