#chaotic Arthur my beloved

[theroundbartable]

Arthur: okay, Merlin. I have a request

Merlin: *sighs* I'm glad you're starting to like my magic, Arthur, but I can't do everything -

Arthur: Make me gay

Merlin: ...

Merlin: like with magic?

Arthur: yes, with magic, Merlin, don't be daft.

Merlin: *annoyingly realises that that is actually possible with magic* why?

Arthur: Remember when you came out to me about your magic and I didn't take it well and you reminded me of how I couldn't possibly relate?

Merlin: yes?

Arthur: Good, because Gwaine just mentioned something about homophobic laws and for once, I want to understand what he meant before I try to change that law.

Merlin: ah. Alright then. If it's for Gwaine

Weeks later

Arthur, busting into Merlin's quarters unannounced: Merlin, I think your magic is broken

Merlin: hmm? What do you mean?

Arthur: It's not working! I don't feel any different! And believe me, I have tried-

Merlin: what exactly have you tried?

Arthur: *blushing* erm just... Normal stuff. Like... Like looking.

Merlin: looking. And you really don't feel any different? Don't want anything when you look at men?

Arthur: no! Yes, I mean- I- I feel the same as always.

Merlin *checks spell. Mutters something under his breath to check if a spell is in effect on Arthur*: nope, not my magic that's broken

Arthur: but-

Merlin: so? *Grinning* so nothing is different at all?

Arthur: *goes tomato red at the realisation* Merlin, I swear, if you're messing with me-

Merlin: *just laughs*

Arthur: oh god!

Merlin: if you ask me, that explains a lot about you

Arthur: Like what?

Merlin: The staring at the knights-

Arthur: I do not stare!

Merlin: you do. You also like men who are strong enough to push you around. Or, now that we're at it, just men who do push you around. You also have a consensual workplace relationship with your ex manservant.

Arthur: *sputterung* you're not insinuating that I would - with you-?!?!

Merlin: you tell me. I'm free by six, if you want to test that theory.

leon lets merlin mourn for five centuries before picking him up by the scruff of his neck and dragging him with him to all corners of the world until he sees the familiar spark of life in his eyes. by then tho, merlin has latched onto leon like a damn octopus and they stick together for years (bar the occasional decade or two when the two cant decide on their next destination and fuck off to separate corners of the world). leon teaches merlin how to be immortal and merlin teaches leon how to properly live. they do the pranks that last centuries where they get portraits of themselves done in various eras without changing their appearances and only slightly altering their names, they know eventually someone will catch on and try to convince everyone but no one will believe them. they meddle in foreign governments for the fuck of it. leon somehow ends up as president of the us of a. merlin starts a cult in south america. merlin was on the oceangate submersible (too soon?). leon started the great fire of london (too soon??). anyways they happen to be walking together past the lake when arthur emerges. the first thing they do is take a 0.5x photo of him.

4 (for the drabble asks)

4. "I'm sorry I'm not who you thought I was."

Hopper's cabin makes a surprisingly secure prison. Nancy walks the perimeter just for something to do, just to put off going inside. The windows are boarded up. Trip wires cover every path. She can't even tell where the cameras are hidden, even though she knows vaguely where they are.

It's nothing compared to the inside, where Hopper and Murray and Jonathan and El have been taking watch in turns. Where El's old bedroom has been reinforced and stripped bare save for a chair and zip ties and a set of handcuffs.

"They're hurting her," Steve had said on that first day, when Robin's pained cry had echoed through the house as Hopper bound her to the chair and started demanding answers.

"She hurt us," was all Nancy had said.

It's been a week. The routine set in painfully fast. Joyce makes a plate for Robin with every meal, but only Hopper is in there when she eats with one unbound hand. Two bathroom breaks a day. Robin barely drinks the water they give her anyway.

They've all tried asking questions. Hopper with his gruff anger and paper thin patience. Joyce with her soft touch, her pleas, her gentle reminders about how much they've all cared for Robin over the past year. Steve with his quiet words, his silent language only he and Robin know.

Dustin with his relentless, tearful optimism. Erica and Max with their betrayal, their bitter hurt. Even El, probing into her mind until both she and Robin have nosebleeds. But the only thing they've learned is what they already knew. What Hopper told them the second he was back in Hawkins, returned from the dead.

"The girl," he'd said the second he pulled away from El's tearful hug. "Buckley. She's working for them."

And just like that, eight months of Nancy's life had come crumbling down around her. All those movie nights where Robin would save a spot on the couch for her, all those nightmares she woke up from only to find herself in Robin's arms. All the quiet moments, the soft, lingering looks, the gentle touches. The time Nancy had been brave enough to push up on her toes and press her lips to Robin's, and all the times she's been able to do it again and again since then. All of it meant nothing. A lie. An act. A means to an end. As fake and empty as the Robin Buckley she knew and loved.

"Wheeler," comes Hopper's heavy voice from behind her. Nancy closes her eyes, but she turns around. "We need you."

Everyone has tried asking questions. Everyone but her.

"What do you expect me to do?" It's harsh and defensive from the start. "I fell for her lies for a year. You think I can get the truth from her now?"

He sighs. His eyes are surprisingly gentle as he turns and gestures toward the front of the house.

"Just try."

She doesn't want to try. She doesn't want to go in there. She doesn't want to see Robin like this. She doesn't want to see Robin ever again.

But though Hopper's gaze is understanding, it's still stern. Nancy sets her jaw and starts trudging toward the door, Hopper falling into step beside her.

She starts to doubt herself again once they're inside. She ignores everyone's eyes as she passes through the living room. She keeps her head up as she and Hopper head down the hall. But once she's outside the door, she falters. She just stands there, staring at it. Robin has been so quiet since that first day. If Nancy didn't know any better, she'd think she wasn't even in there anymore.

"She's been asking for you," Hopper says beside her. Nancy sucks in a breath, reeling from the words.

"Why?"

He doesn't say anything, just pats her shoulder and pushes her slightly toward the door.

Nancy takes a breath and steps inside.

The room is cold. Bare. Not as harsh and sterile as Steve has described the Russian bunker to be, but as close as they can get in a little cabin in the woods.

But the worst part is Robin sitting in the center. Her head is tilted back, hanging off the back of the chair, but she pulls herself up as she hears the door close behind Nancy.

Her eyes widen. She mouths Nancy's name, but she doesn't actually say anything.

There's a bruise on her jaw. Her hair is messy, but it isn't dirty. Nancy wonders vaguely if Joyce has been washing it.

Nancy leans back against the door. She watches Robin swallow.

"You came," she whispers. Her voice is soft, barely even there, the same beautiful, rough sound Nancy has reveled in for months.

Nancy glares just so she doesn't cry. "What do you want?"

"Nothing." Robin tries to shrug, but she can't really move her shoulders. It's a clumsy, silly move. Nancy hates it.

"Bullshit. Hopper said you asked for me. Why?"

"I wanted to see you. That's all."

"Why?"

She frowns. "Because I miss you."

"Please," Nancy spits. "What do you actually want?"

"I'm telling the truth, Nance."

"When have you ever told the truth?"

Robin winces. She drops her gaze. "I'm sorry."

"Don't bother. I don't care."

"I do, though." Robin looks up at her again, a plea in her eyes, and Nancy hates that, too. "I care. I never wanted to--but I couldn't--Nance--"

"Don't fucking call me that."

"I'm sorry," Robin says again. "I'm sorry I lied. I'm sorry I hurt you. I--I'm sorry I'm not who you thought I was."

Nancy closes her eyes, unable to see her earnest gaze. She wants to cover her ears, too, to shut out Robin's awful, honest voice.

Because that's just the problem. She is who Nancy thought she was. She can see it in the regret in Robin's eyes, hear it in the love hanging heavy in her voice, even now.

"Why?" she whispers.

"Because I just am. I never wanted to hurt you, not for anything."

"No," says Nancy. "Why did you do it?"

Robin looks away. "Because they told me to."

"That's it?"

"It's all I've ever known," she says, her voice sharper now. But her eyes are soft when she meets Nancy's gaze again. "But I never thought--I didn't know--it all changed, Nancy. I didn't want to keep helping them."

"But you did."

"I had no choice." She leans forward, straining toward Nancy, her voice rough and desperate. "They would've hurt me--and then they would've hurt you, all of you, because they'd know I care about you."

"Stop lying!" Nancy surges forward. She can't push Robin far, not without tipping the whole chair, but she hits her shoulders anyway, shoving her back in her chair.

"I'm not," Robin breathes. She's still beneath her, pliant and waiting for whatever Nancy will do to her. "I promise I'm not."

"You lied. You let us all believe you were someone else. You made Steve think you were his best friend. You made the kids trust you. You--you made me believe you loved me--"

"You made me love you," Robin whispers. "I tried not to. I told myself it was too dangerous. But I couldn't help it."

"I hate you."

"You should."

"Stop. Just stop. I fucking hate you."

"I know."

"I hate that I still love you."

Robin just watches her helplessly, tears in her eyes. Nancy wishes she could hate her. She takes a breath and turns away, crossing her arms tightly over her chest.

After a moment, she says, "Who hit you?"

She looks over her shoulder in time to see Robin working her jaw.

"Hopper. But in his defense, I was putting up a fight."

"Why?"

"I thought if I could get away, you wouldn't have to deal with this."

"You should've thought of that sooner."

"I did. Every day. But I could never bring myself to run."

"Coward."

"Selfish," Robin corrects her. "For not letting you go. Any of you."

Nancy grits her teeth. "So what now?"

"I think that's up to you, Nance."

She shakes her head. It can't be up to her. She can't do this. She looks at Robin again, but she turns away quickly before she can really see her. She opens her mouth to say something, but anything she can think of is far too dangerous.

So she turns on her heel and walks toward the door instead. She knocks on it, and a moment later Hopper opens it. He looks at her questioningly, but Nancy brushes past him and just keeps walking.

THE PENDRAGONS FOR THE HNOC GAMEEE >:DDDDDDD

Arthur. Lance. Guinevere.

[superat626]

Chaotic funni men + one soft.

[gingersnaptaff]

For the arthurian ask game: ♘, 🫅, 💚, 📽, 💛, 🥰, 💏

♘ Favourite Knight/King🫅Favorite Lady/Damsol/Queen

YOU KNOW I MUST SAY GUINEVERE!!!! SHE IS MY BELOVED! I ABSOLUTELY WOULD DID FOR HER (very Lancelot coded but he's RIGHT) AND I FUME CONSTANTLY THAT WE HAVE NEXT TO NOTHING ABOUT HER IN THR WELSH MYTHOLOGY AHSHDHDJDJDJD

💚 Favorite Quest/Story Arc

Owain! Hands down! I've said it before but the man gets a LION and a RING. He and Luned are besties, and he spends three years with his wife, goes back to King Arthur's court and immediately forgets... he... has a wife. >.>' Um, y'know, let's forget about that part. He was having an off day, y'know 😅

📽Recommend a book/movie/tv show etc

(There are no English subs but like enjoy the animation! I'm sure this has made the rounds on Arthuriana tumblr before ngl. Deeply sorry that all I am offering is Welsh shit. I AM that insufferable bitch, yup.)

(Also, Morgan Is My Name by Sophie Keetch is top-notch. You should read it immediately!!!!)

💛A Sibling Group/Dynamic That IS NOT The Orkneys

Not the Orkneys?! 😭😭😭

No, seriously, okay. I was gonna say Guinevere and Guinevak, BUT Palamedes, Segwarides, and Safir are my faves! Palamedes and Safir are literally ride or die (when they're not unwittingly fighting each other) and team up with Lancelot to rescue Guinevere from being burnt whereas Segwarides gets killed trying to REPEL Lance's rescue. Like... wjdjdjdjd THAT FUCKIN PAIN THAT CAUSES ME. (Also he gets cuckolded by Tristan. Ajsjddjd Tristan, please, CEASE AND DESIST FOR 5 MINS)

🥰An Arthuriana Headcanon

Apart from Gwalchmai and Peredur fuckin I truly believe that Owain's twin dister Morfudd is far more chaotic than he will ever be. I have no proof for this but I boeev it with my whole heart.

(Also, yeah, I've said it before but Gwenhwyfar and Enid had a lesbian encounter in 'Geraint ac Enid.' You cannot convince me otherwise.

💏Crack Ship (s)

Has anybody considered Arthur x his Gwyddbwyll board? ANYBODY? (Seriously, the man is inordinately attached to it.)

DELILAH TIME DELILAH TIME

here she is. officially. my beloved fallout 4 oc delilah !!!! first piece done by @zetobii and the second by @leavingautumn13

i dont draw so all art of delilah comes from my dear friends who draw her for me/with their ocs and tell me i can post it OR from commissions. what i can do, however, is write <3 and make playlists and pinterest boards for visuals <3 so prepare urself <3

speaking of which, you can find her playlist here and her pinterest board here!! theyre chronological, so listening/scrolling in order should more or less tell her story too

ok so: her appearance, personality, stats, story, and some fun facts are here under the cut (its a lot fyi ok i just love her so much) pls enjoy

delilah lore (delilore?) be upon ye:

appearance:

24 years old, 5’10”

very fair skinned with bright green eyes and jet black hair

her hair is wavy and flows down to the middle of her back. she has one small braid behind her right ear

covered in freckles, from her nose to her knees. she has a tiny scar above her mouth from a past split lip and a slit in her opposite eyebrow from a past black eye

midriff is heavily discolored from past bruises - the pigmentation never fully went away - and marred with keloid scars from deep cuts from things she refuses to talk about. if her dress has a high enough slit, bruises can peek out near the very tops of her legs

large black kingsnake tattoo wrapping up a her left arm with its head near her shoulder and its tail near/on her hand

she can almost always be found in her wine-colored silk dress that reaches only about mid-thigh, nails manicured and lips painted to match. it has spaghetti straps and is loosely bodycon.

she wears stacks of gold rings (as many as possible, really) and dangly gold snake earrings

the only things she keeps on her person are the dagger and the gun strapped to her thighs under her dress. her gun was a gift from KL-E-0. it is a custom gold-plated, silenced 10mm. lilah named it "Mine"

stats:

if fo4 had a karma slider, lilah would land pretty firmly on evil. on a dnd alignment chart, think chaotic neutral or neutral evil

SPECIAL: 2, 8, 2, 10, 7, 4, 3

she's not strong nor has much endurance, but when you're as smart, perceptive, and charismatic as she is, you can charm people into carrying your stuff for you anyway.

her perks are party girl (alcohol/chem resistance), black widow (damage/persuasion against men), night person (higher int at night), and intimidation (pacify, instruct, and force opponents to attack). and deacon's cloak and dagger, of course.

personality:

cold, calculated, distant

cares about very, very few people (and even fewer things) but is fiercely loyal to those people. she's a railroad agent, but only because deacon cares about the cause and she begrudgingly cares about deacon

she and deacon clash. he refused to even vouch for her admission to the railroad. she gets along much better with glory, but she still gets assigned to run jobs with deacon because they keep each other in check and are deadly efficient as a pair (theyre also in love but they keep it a secret from everyone including each other)

she cares about very very few people but it fiercely loyal to those people. she is a railroad agent, but only because deacon cares about the cause and she "begrudgingly" cares about deacon (she cares literally so much do not let her fool u)

her moral compass is not magnetic. right and wrong is whatever she wants it to be. she takes no issue killing people if they wrong her. sexual harassment or subterfuge/targeted deception send marks to the top of her hit list.

her story:

her birth name is allie eden

she is not a sole survivor; she was born into the capital wasteland chapter of the brotherhood of steel. despite sentinel lyons' best efforts, delilah responded far better to scribe training than to combat training

she and arthur maxson were the only two kids in the citadel, and they became fast friends, even after the lyons pride crumbled and maxson was appointed elder.

he appointed her his sentinel, second in command, which she embraced until she saw how terribly the wasteland was faring under his leadership.

she promptly absconded and, because she had been so sheltered until that day, quickly lost herself to chems and alcohol.

months passed in, thanks to all the blackouts, what felt like hours. one night, allie woke up in a warm bed that she did not fall asleep in. a man named dante deangelo had pulled her body from a D.C. gutter and made sure she was safe.

in no time, they fell in love and decided to escape to the commonwealth. they found a small, basement apartment in goodneighbor and allie began tending bar at the third rail.

dante, slowly but surely, became more abusive. he left bruises and deep cuts on her body anywhere her third rail uniform would cover. she stayed, though, because she'd been raised by the brotherhood to believe that love was harsh and painful. to obey without question. to submit to authority.

eventually, she tired of that life and snapped, killing dante before he could leave any more marks on her. something... shifted. maybe it was allie eden who entered their apartment that morning, but it was delilah who left it that night.

KL-E-0, who was quite fond of allie and is far fonder of delilah, fitted her with pistol, Mine.

instead of hiding behind the bar like she had when she was with dante, she began to use it to her advantage. every dusty drifter with full pockets full of caps left her bar empty handed. but it wasnt enough.

she began targeting triggermen, who she knew were peddling chems for... someone in goodneighbor. the moment a man started flirting with her (which she hated), it was like a red dot sight appeared on their foreheads. she'd seduce them, take them back to her apartment, get her caps and chems and information, and the men would never be seen again.

morowski, goodneighbor kingpin, eventually approached her at work about his shrinking pool of chem peddlers. they struck a deal: he would slip her into his operation as his newest arm candy, and she would peddle his chems at her bar.

it worked flawlessly until morowski actually fell in love with her. go figure. unless, of course, that was lilah's plan all along...

while she's still participating in this farce with morowski, she meets drummer boy, who she ends up truly enjoying the company of even despite her general distaste for men. eventually, he convinces her to join the railroad with him

because morowski is in love with delilah, she has no issue squeezing information out of him when deacon asks her to: morowski is an institute informant. lilah quickly, uh, deals with that problem, and the next days, morowski is found dead in his office at the rexford. cause of death: self inflicted gunshot wound. what a tragedy.

because delilah was his "other half," his unofficial widow, she inherited morowski's whole chem operation

now, she happily spends her days directing the triggermen and tending her bar - for fun and for information, at this point, because she certainly doesnt need the caps. when she needs to run for the railroad or her beloved friends need her professional black widow skills, whitechapel charlie is "happy" to cover for her. as happy as he can manage, anyway.

fun facts:

she is terrified of storms, heights, and violent outbursts from people she trusts

her name comes from the bible story of sampson and delilah, where delilah is paid by the government to seduce sampson (a man of god) and tempt him to sin by telling her what gives him his inhuman strength. after three attempts, she is successful. sampson tells her that god gives him his strength through his hair. she then cuts his hair, which ultimately leads to his death. i mean what a bad bitch

she is still deeply unhappy even after she wraps goodneighbor around her finger because she still doesnt know who she is

she's skeptical of maxson's move to the commonwealth. she is very much on the run from him (and the bortherhood as a whole), and ham happily vets drifters for her to ensure theyre not undercover brotherhood before letting them into the bar.

she and maccready arent exactly "friends" but they harbor mutual respect for each other since they spend so much time together. mac had to call her off like a guard dog when winlock and barnes paid him a visit, so shes confident he would do the same if the brotherhood ever came knocking.

[shelbydelrey]

Isa, we've discussed this a few times so it will come as no surprise when I ask you a question about the 10th anniversary of Peaky!! I'm wondering what you would rate the top 10 kisses?

Hi Lee 🤗 This was a surprinsingly difficult question since i've never even considered rating the show's kisses before (a mistake i now realize) and also because tumblr gif engine is absolute shit in aiding me in this task 😅 I've unfortunately came two kisses short from what you asked but i hope you enjoy it anyway 😚

8. I didn't manage to find a gif or even just a cropped image but Number #8 goes to those two fellas making out at the entrance of Eden Club. They were there just entering the roaring 20's, in a drug induced chaotic party, living their best lives so i would like to give props to them 😆

7. I love Arthur and his genuine reaction to Linda's news warms my heart despite me knowing that everything from here goes downhill. I read this kiss as a gesture full of hope, promises and even some pride showing that Arthur had some desire to be a better father than the one he had. This, unfortunately, didn't come into fruition as we know but i appreciate that the spark to be something other lived in heart.

6. Polly and Aberama were something else, weren't they? Admittedly their relationship kinda came out of nowhere but it worked even if short-lived. So their mention on the list it's also a memento of their dynamic ☺

5. And we finally arrived at my two beloveds🥰 I love May's slight desperation and Tommy's slight surprise as they kiss �� It holds an adorable level of awkwardness as May states (with the kiss not with words) that she's willing to stand the public ridicule for Tommy!

4. I guess this one speaks for itself 😳 A deep passionate kiss in the midst of love making. You can't go wrong with that.

3. This is the perfect level of devotion for a wedding kiss (the exchanged gaze and the comfort between the two is *chef's kiss*) and it's enhanced by the way Tommy helds her face 🫠

2. This could be easily my favourite kiss in the entire show... I mean, look at Tommy's shoulder dip, the tenderness of his lips and how May starts to grip his coat... (and they even start to sway a little bit, i couldn't find a longer gif that showed it) 🥹 It's beautiful and it plasters all over my face the ENORMOUS chemistry potential these two had 😭

1. But number one comes and does THIS to me:

It's Derby day, May is clinging onto the hope that he will stay with her and it's heartbreaking because even despite not yet knowing about Grace's pregnancy, we as an audience now that (for plot reasons) Tommy has no interest in staying by her side. BUT Cillian and Charlotte were in another frequency over here 🤭 All the elements that made Kiss Number #2 great are here as well, dusted on this small peck on the lips 🤩 Instead of the detachment and indiference Tommy is suppose to feel, it reads more like a domestic bliss scenario where May says goodbye before he ventures to a long day of work and crime.

[hall0wedwyrm]

finally watched The Amazing Digital Circus

its right up my alley. There's a cool and colourful place with a mystery and a dark layer underneath??? hell yeaaah. I made some notes as i watched, and im gonna just highlight some of them (most of them were me just kind of freaking out at the chaos)

Okay so first, Caine my beloved. I wrote down "do i just like unhinged chaotic characters who just say shit and it sometimes is just word vomit" and i think that sums him up

The Void - definitely like the unfinished zone of the circus, and maybe theres gonna be added areas that stretches out (because of the ending and how the Circus is literally just an island in the Void??)

Zooble <3 i love characters who are so like... done with the chaos and bs of everyone else, who are just goofy and silly and wacky

I noted down that it sounded like Caine's laugh got cut off?? idk that means anything

Caine is also very much Ringmaster. He's in charge of the Circus reality, since he also got rid of Ragatha and Pomni's glitches

also Ragatha shes so sweet she just wanted Pomni to have a nice day :(

ALSO POMNI oh my god shes absolutely going through it. I like the set up of her seeing the exit and then everyone saying "Oh Kaufmo said that haha youre silly"... have they not seen their own exits?? because she saw it out in the field and then it appeared in the circus

Jax

Kinger is totally another favourite too. I love the joke of his screams being cut off as like perfectly cut screams. Hes totally on the edge of popping but its impressive how he hasn't.

"It appears a new human has arrived!" So Caine knows shes human??? okay?????

I'm also thinking... Boneworks? Putting on the headset and going into an artificial world and then being uploaded into the world. In BWs tho the main character (Arthur was it?) does it on purpose. maybe one of them is something like that?

Caine could then be a character dragging people into the game? maybe unintentionally?

Ribbon girl oh my god i feel bad whats her name. I just feel so bad for her :( i wanna give her a hug wtf -> GANGLE <3

One of my notes just says "Stanley Parable", in reference to Pomni running through the Exit rooms. It's like someone did it on purpose so if anyone tries to leave its just going to make them go crazy faster? idk why they'd do that though if they want more people to be here

Wait hold on. Caine takes Pomni to the Void, but then later gets mad that she's there.... why did he show her????

So everyone is trapped in an early 3D show circus through a headset?? and a computer?? like souls in the show?

I sort of hope Kaufmo does come back in some way, i wanna know more about him.

I have so many more ideas about this im gonna go keep thinking about it (mainly Caine).

[booksandwillowtrees]

In honor of FHJY starting and being super good here are my opinions of which season I think is better for each character

FIG: Easiest choice. FHSY. I love fig in FY she’s silly, trying to find Gorthalax and to comprehend her relationship with her mom and Gilear. Great stuff. But FHSY is like Her season to me. It builds so well off of FY. Both Gilear and Sandralynn come on the journey so we get to see her relationship with them grow and shift and change. Also she gets a STELLAR romantic arc.

KRISTEN: FHFY. I love kristen SY. She’s so chaotic and more herself. Her relationship with Tracker is so . But FY kristen is in such an interesting moment of change in her life. She makes a super exciting complete 180. Also I watched FY right before realizing I liked girls so she is v important to me.

ADAINE: FHSY. Aelwyn and Adaine sister arc kills me dead. Like there’s not much more to say. She’s always so good, quick witted, angry, ouch and fun But in SY she’s like woah. And she kills her dad.

FABIAN: FHFY. HARDEST CHOICE. Obv leviathan is insane and iconic for Fabian. Masterclass from Lou Wilson about committing to the bit and the character. Toxic Masculinity is dead. wonderful. But Fabian FY is so insane. The jail scene? Bill’s death???? Wild. Beloved. Heart wrenching. I don’t like how they do his nightmare in the forest, so that’s points against SY.

RIZ: FHSY. Riz FY Is sillllllly. Finding out about his dad is great. Killing kalvazus is great. But oh my god. SY. Dealing with Kalina, coming to accept his asexuality, ANY SCENE ABOUT HIS FATHER. Woof. Like crazy. I cried so much about this kid.

GORGUG: FHSY. Also v hard. “Are you my dad?” Is iconic. My fav bit from FY. Great emotional pay off. But gorgug in SY is such a good friend. Going to the friendship section of the library. Supporting Fabian. Calling Arthur Aguefort for Ayda. “It’s gorgug keep going.” Not to mention his painful relationship with Zelda. and the beginning of his artificer arc.

Engineer Carlos have my whole heart like please this is so so good!!!! Obvious Carlos and Jealous Charles are deliciously too good of a dynamic 😍But yeah if we have to get a teammate for Charles instead of Carlos I have a few suggestions? Maybe Arthur for the added drama 😈 (especially since Charles said he would hate to have his brother as a teammate). If not Arthur maybe Mick? To have il predistinato and the son of the red baron? That would definitely be a marketing genius strategy 💛If not Mick maybe go for Ollie Berman? Or even Alex? Like IRL rumours of sending Alex from Williams to Ferrari.But tbh there's not a lot of people I can see driving for Ferrari because of their contract a lot of the possibilities I consider are impossible. Except, except if we go for Theo pourchair. Because Fred used to be Prema TP/owner/manager and that Theo will probably get his support too. That would be great to see him as Charles' teammate. Tbh I think it really depends on how well you know the drivers.But other than that Yes to red bull being the reason Charles finally get his shit together and confess to Carlos like please!!!!!

Also ferrari making them silly challenge and then increasing the silliest things they have to do? Like at some point Silvia suggest they do some couple game because it's a tiktok trend ? Please I would love to read that!

Hi there!

Engineer Carlos my beloved <3 Thank you so much for the ask! [referring to this post] (I truly need to make a masterlist of all those posts 🫣) [ask me if you want to know more or suggest ideas for this AU or another]

Thank you for all the suggestions for the second Ferrari driver! Tbf that second driver probably won’t feature much in the story. He’s mostly going to be in the background and maybe someone to measure Carlos’ brilliant strategy against.

I thought about Mick too but Arthur is actually a very good suggestion (Mick might be too nice for what I imagine). Arthur’s really not there in his career (but this is fan fiction, we can imagine whatever we want and distort reality) but I can imagine him being a little menace on the track and in the garage, being annoyed every time Charles wins and gets better results than him. Charles would absolutely hate having his brother as a teammate and it would be chaotic.

Angry Arthur would say things like “They never listen to me. But of course you don’t know what it’s like. Your engineer always listens to you, he’s so in love with you it’s disgusting.”

Yep. I can totally see that happening.

(The other suggestions are good, but as you said, I really don’t know them so I’m not really comfortable writing them into the story)

And oh god, the silly challenges. It starts pretty simple but soon turns into those silly little challenges because fans just eat that shit and Ferrari wants to capitalize on that.

Carlos would be so oblivious. Like “Sure, I can do that silly thing with Charles, it’s gonna be fun.”

And Charles would be so conflicted. He would absolutely adore the idea of spending more time with Carlos, but at the same time, he would be so flustered because his crush is showing. Like “What do you mean I have to be blindfolded while Carlos hands feed me some Italian products. I’m going to die on the spot! I can’t do that.” “Maybe we’ll ask Arthur then. A little switch of the team, it could be interesting.” “What? No, absolutely not. I am doing it with Carlos, no one else is doing it with Carlos 🤬”

That’s gonna be chaos! I love it!

New question: what couple challenges are they going to try? 🤔

Every weekend Arthur would invite his sons to have dinner at his house, let them relax, and have a nice time to catch up. Unfortunately, Ingo called him that Friday evening, and while Arthur doesn’t expect them to have time every weekend it’s still a little disheartening.

“I’m sorry Dad, the station is in pure chaos and we will likely be staying overtime tomorrow to catch up on reports, and paperwork.”

The older man hums at his son’s words.

“S’alright, I don’t mind rescheduling. Be safe, and make sure not to overwork yourself.”

“Of course! Have a good day, and I will message you about plans.”

With the phone call ended Arthur makes a quick message.

‘The boys got caught up in work, so you don’t need to stress about Emmet biting your ankle when you come over.’

He snorts when all he gets in response is a bunch of nervous emojis.

Arthur runs his fingers through his greying black hair with a sigh, now it can just be him and his boyfriend for tomorrow night. He looks around his home and gets to cleaning, he can cook a nice meal for his beloved when he gets here, but first, he wants everything to be perfect.

As Arthur moves around his home, being careful not to step on any paws or claws, his mind goes back to his lover.

Oh, he can’t deny how smitten he is with the shy man, or Arson’s long pretty red hair, those pretty grey eyes flickering away as he blushes. Arthur sighs, oh he has it bad, how long had it been since he’d been such a sap? His heart flutters at just the thought of the other man.

He’s excited for tomorrow, excited to have a nice date night with his lover.

That next morning he was up and ready to go, taking a nice long hot shower, lathering himself with his scented body wash, and making sure he was in tip-top shape before hopping out to dry off and get dressed.

What should he make for Arson? He wants it to be filling and maybe a little sweet.

A knock on the door snaps him from his thoughts, he’s quick to rush over, settling down his barking Herdier. Arthur opens the door with a lopsided smile.

“C’mon in hon, ya know you don’t have to knock.”

Arson chuckles nervously with a grin.

“I know but I didn’t want to intrude.”

“You can’t ever intrude, sunshine. I gave you a key for a reason.”

Arthur guides him to the living room gesturing for him to sit while he gets him some tea. Arthur’s herdier Pepper lays at the red-haired man’s feet, happily taking in all the pets he gives her.

Arson smiles at the warmth of the home, he feels so welcomed here, so safe, but not as safe as when Arthur comes back with a cup of tea for him.

“Thank you, big daddy.”

Arthur snorts, laughing at that pet name. He sits next to his lover, their thighs pressed against each other.

“I can never get over that one, stupid but funny.” Arthur just likes he feels so comfortable being so goofy with him.

The two lean against each other as Arson speaks about his day, and how chaotic the subway has been. Arthur listens intently, until his eyes keep moving down, looking at the other man’s lips.

He looks so kissable right now.

Rambling on about his day and interests, the things that excited him. He looks so happy and content, Arthur couldn’t ask for anything better.

Arson’s voice catches in his throat once he picks up on the desire in Arthur’s eyes, feeling his hand come up and gently cup his cheek.

“Is this alright?”

Arson’s breathing shakes, eyes darting between those alabaster eyes and his lips. He takes a deep steady breath, nuzzling into Arthur’s calloused hand.

“Yeah, I like this.”

With a shared breath, their lips finally touch in a slow tender kiss. Arson grips Arthur’s shoulders, trying to hold him close, pressing their bodies together, closing any possible space between them.

Arthur moves his free hand to Arson’s hip, rubbing soothing circles with his thumb as they deepen the kiss.

It grows more passionate, and more needy, both pouring their pure want into the other.

Arson squeaks, though it’s muffled, as Arthur lifts him and places him on his lap.

He can feel his face burning, his heart racing, pounding against his chest.

He pulls away with a strand of saliva connecting their lips. Arthur buries his face into his boyfriend’s neck, lavishing the unmarked skin with kisses and gentle nips, a silent promise of what is to come.

Arson mewls softly, grinding his growing bulge against Arthur’s. Despite his nerves, he wants it, he wants this man to wreck him.

Arthur opens his mouth but he’s swiftly cut off by the front door flinging open.

“Surpriiiise!”

“We brought you some-…..”

The two older men snap their heads to their door, eyes wide as Ingo and Emmet walkthrough.

Only to stop mid-step at the sight of one of their employees on top of their father. Emmet’s smile grows tight, almost forced.

“Arson? What is the meaning of this!?” The older twin is shocked at the sight.

The twins never wanted to see their father’s love life like this! And especially with the shock of it being with one of their employees.

“Now settle down you two-“ Arthur tries to speak, but is cut off by Emmet’s mute shriek.

Like he’s screaming in lowercase.

“I am Emmet! And I need to bleach my eyes!”

Ingo is still rambling, even as Arthur sets Arson back onto the couch to rush over to his sons to get them to stop freaking out.

Arson just wants the world to cave in around him, but he supposes this is what happens when you date your bosses dad.

My boy Arthur and I are currently on a hunting trip with my beloved imaginary father Hosea

HOSEA 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 my favorite dad truly. between him and dutch he's so so sweet and chaotic I love him so much 🧡🧡🧡 have fun on your hunting trip with the Boys !!

[groundbreakingdot872]

You are a GENIUS for these, the brilliance of putting Midnights + Merlin together… your mind!!!! ✨

The only album I considered changing at all was, you might’ve guessed! haha, Speak Now and Arthur.

I’ve always thought of him as a Debut girlie that grew into her 1989 ERA from s4 to 5 - something about a 16 year old Taylor w/ a too-big acoustic guitar strung around her shoulders and a voice that could fill stadiums, filling parkling lots - just resonates w/ the crown prince Arthur grew into be.

The restless energy, the excitement of spurring on hunts and embarking on these tiny, gloriously thrilling quests, are all feelings that go hand in hand w/ becoming a beloved country starlet, I think.

“But when you think of Tim McGraw/ I hope you think of my favorite song/ The one we danced to all night long/ The moon like a spotlight on the Lake” - Tim McGraw

Bit of a generic example, but I can hear Arthur’s young, unbridled spirit in all of Debut, his eagerness to find love, make his father proud and learn to become better, all tied up in album closers that say the solution to all of those coming-of-age issues hadn’t been so easy to come to terms with after all..

“She better hold him tight/ Give him all the love/ Look in those beautiful eyes/ And know she’s lucky ‘cause/ He’s the reason for the teardrops on my guitar” - Teardrops on my Guitar

20 year-old Arthur, face freshly stung from Uther’s bitter complaints about one thing or another, and having gotten the cold shoulder from Morgana for the umpteenth time, wishing things could just go back to the way it was when they were kids…

He wanders off alone on night on an overnight hunting trip, and finds a comfortable place to rest his head and gaze up the stars, and wonder, what on earth his destiny might have in store for him

I find it funny that a lyre! has been pointed out in the backdrop of his chambers, for quite a few episodes!

So you’re saying there was a chance he could’ve played Cold as You (my fav!!) on his actual ‘guitar’?! AJDHDJKSKS my Debut girlie 💗😭

The transition to 1989 would’ve been awe-inspiring,

‘Wonderland’ (vaguely referencing the dissolution of his friendship w/ Morgana), OUT OF THE WOODS ‼️ and How You Get the Girl (arwennnn my beloved 💗)

Generally an iconic album to celebrate Arthur’s Kingship in all of it’s chaotic (bleached blonde 👀) realness ✨

Core 4 & Their ✨Eras

aka my opinion so feel free to agree/disagree

Morgana: REPUTATION! I mean- come on. This one was obvious. Are you ready for it, don’t blame me, look what you made me do, I did something bad… those are all dark!morgana and then songs like gorgeous, dress, getaway car… dare I say morgwen? Even if not, there are some good!Morgana bangers in there

Merlin: MIDNIGHTS (less obvious maybe?) This album is all about regrets, grief, love… Merlin is a sleep deprived baby this is his era. Literally every song. I’m not going to list them I’m just going to say EVERY SONG and they all match to a different part of his life.

Gwen: LOVER! This was hard bc I think Gwen has so much growth over the seasons how can you define her by 1 TS era? She also suits Midnights, and imo fearless and red and folklore (folklore is also kind of a Merlin album btw). I think I’m the end it comes down to her compassion and love is there the whole way through, and lover encompasses quite a wide range of emotions and experiences that I think would suit.

Arthur: SPEAK NOW ok feel free to debate this one bc I actually have NO idea. I don’t think any one of them fit him perfectly (complex babygirl) so I chose speak now bc I think songs like haunted and long live suit him well and the general vibe of the album.

Tell me ur versions!
