s1ep13 merlin, believing he will be dead by morning, goes to say goodbye to arthur and he leans against the door of arthur’s chambers and watches the glow of the fire light his skin golden, full of color and life that it had been sorely lacking while the prince was injured. he stares at the softness of arthur’s features and pressed the line of his profile into memory for while he passes he will wish for nothing more than to see arthur one last time, his smile and blue eyes one last comfort before he passes on to the otherworld. arthur turns to stare at him and frowns at whatever expression merlin is making. the prince kicks a weak foot out at the chair next to him and motions for merlin to join him. merlin slowly shuffles over but ignores the chair completely. he stops in front of arthur who watches him with wary confusion. the tug of his lips and the furrow of his brow sickeningly endearing and merlin allows himself to be selfish and leans down to press his lips to arthur’s.

the prince is sat frozen under merlin’s touch but he can’t find himself to care much about that, not when he finally knows what it feels like to kiss arthur. he hopes that will be his last sensation before the ever consuming nothing, he hopes he will close his eyes one last time only to find arthur grinning at him and calling him an idiot before leading him into paradise where he can watch arthur smile, hear him laugh, and feel his touch for all eternity. he pulls away and leaves before arthur can gather himself to form a response, dropping the letter explaining everything on the table as he passes. so he allows himself to be selfish twice - to take from arthur and to give, to let himself know what is feels to kiss the man, to embrace his feelings for him, and to have the man know him for who he truly is. he wishes to pass peacefully with no regrets. somehow that revolves entirely around arthur.

only…he survives the whole ordeal and yeah has a gnarly scar on his chest but is otherwise fit to return to his duties. which include taking care of the prince. of arthur. who he kissed. and who most definitely know about his magic by now. yeesh.

Let people be dumb and goofy about their middle aged babygirl otherwise what's even the point of being on tumblr

something so important to know about me is that when I tag "daddy" posts as John, it is in no way sexual. I am incapable of contemplating this man lustfully. when he refers to himself as "daddy" i am 100% picturing him baby talking to his kid like he hasn't noticed she's a traumatised adult. daddy john gaius to me is about trying to force a parental bond he doesn't have a prayer of figuring out how to nurture

[halfbloodfullbitch]

Love how everyone agrees commander wake gets bitches, like she’s a milf, but jod is simply a slut.

why would you tag domina octavian without octavian/augustus but then go straight for gaius julius caesar. do you know who gaius julius caesar is.

taking Gaius (Caligula) away from all of you until you actually read the source material and form your own opinion of him, rather than relying solely on what biased historians want you to think because they didn't like him themselves

Feel free to reblog if you also are curious

i AM thinking abt the significance of the number 200 in tlt. two hundred kids died in the creche flu. two hundred extra people onto the FTL ships. the things harrow is willing to do to make their sacrifice even vaguely mean something. everything john did to stop the ships.

Gaius saying "It threw the natural order into chaos" about magic when explaining why Uther made it illegal is interesting to me. Why did he say that? Was it just the writers not having the whole sacrificing a life and Ygraine dying plot? Since it is the first episode I wouldn't be surprised.

Buuuut, it does give material for theories/headcanons.

What if Gaius said that to not have Merlin question him further, because Gaius would not tell a sorcerer he barely knows that the King inadvertently killed his wife by making an unstable deal with magic, thus banning magic cos he got scared. Which just shows how weirdly devoted Gaius is to Uther.

Otto reminisces memories with Void Archives featuring @saganarr

[commanderhorncleaver]

In the aftermath of becoming Vlast's champion via the Mists, Sigmund has grown out of his need of mobility aids. However, he's well aware that in the legions, there are plenty who still need them, and remains devoted to helping figure out implements that aid others. Additionally, he's taken on the surname Brighthorn.

However, given his newfound mobile freedom, he tends to roam the office in something Horncleaver might call less than modest, but August has assured him that so long as he's not hammering steel with his cheeks in the wind, he's free to wear as little as he pleases.

The new story mod

Spoiler, and nit perfect English warning

So let's start with the positivs.

I liked the story development. It is really nice over all.

I liked the fect the we have a more vider range of characters who apear.

The emotional momenrs were able to make us care about it

The character developent between MC was really good, and Sachiko was lovable.

Now let's get on the negativs.

I would have liked the ending better if MC stoped wearing the head set, but that's just my personal prefrence personaly.

And now let's talk about the elephant in the room. Gaius.

I personality liked the foresgadowing, but him being the Shadow Caunceler just feels off. It does not feel something that was pland from the start of him being in the game, or in the game's universe. It doas not feel like that. I don't hate the idea of him being a twisted villian. Twisted villions can be great, but here it just seems to be an after thought. We can say that he might be tryind to balenc the two organisations. It was a bed writing choise, that could have been implomented better, and it's only there for shock value? Yes. But is it the worse writing choise the devs's made? Defenetly not.

Overall the story was good, and it's defenetly a good step for the right direction story waise.
