Sirius: Why do you only have like 4 friends?

Regulus: The less friends I have the more money I save.

Sirius: ....but we're rich?

Regulus: Saves my time too.

Sirius huffs: admit it, you're just shit at making friends

Regulus rolling his eyes: I can make friends just fine.

Sirius: sure you can

Regulus: fuck you-

*endless bickering*

Regulus: I’ve only had James for a day and a half but if anything happened to himI would kill everyone in this room and then myself.

Happy TENTH anniversary of BBC Merlin’s ending. In that time, not only has it remained a popular show, but it’s thriving. It outlasted the Queen of England. It remains in the top 100 for tumblr, and Alexander Vlahos still posts the yearly ‘I killed Arthur and Merthur is canon’ thing.

Y’all are like roaches in a nuclear blast.

EDIT: Vlahos does not post it yearly, and has since proven to hold some problematic views (x)

I appreciate you all from the bottom of my heart, but there's a trend with TimeRogue fics that had Ruby having left before the Doctor ever finds Rogue, and there's many things that could be said there about fandom, but my stone to grind is that Ruby Sunday is canonically Go Find Your Man Advocate No.1. Show my heartbreak queen the respect she deserves

sirius and rarity would be such good friends (drama queens 🤭)

speaking of consort queens, here's an exciting READING UPDATE:

edward ii's queen, isabella, went off to france a few pages ago and he was like "u make nice for us with ur brother the king of france and then come back by midsummer okay?" and she was like "yeah sure" and then she kind of loitered in france for a bit and then edward sent his eldest son - also called edward, just to confuse ppl - off to france to pay homage to the king of france for the duchy of wherever(1) and then isabella swooped in and collected the kid, which nobody was very fussed about cos he's her son too, and it's well past midsummer by now but isabella's been so meek and subservient like a good and proper womanly wife so surely she isn't going to do anything that -

WELL SURPRISE, MOTHERFUCKERS. isabella's now set up a rival english court in france and is wearing black and claiming she's a widow(2) and she is NOT sending the smaller edward back home he's hers now and he's the REAL king of england, oh and also she has a new man in her life called roger mortimer (pretty sure they are banging) who i assume is related to those troublesome mortimers from an earlier chapter and regardless of whatever happens next i am sure i speak for all of us when i say this is currently prime good-for-her-dot-gif material:

i think this is all probably treason in some way but fuck it a long-suffering queen can have a little treason sometimes, as a treat.

this post has FOOTNOTES because it is a WORK OF HISTORY:

(1) the kings of england were at this point vassals of the king of france for their lands there (yes this is indeed a bone of contention for them generally LOLOLOLOL).

(2) she says their marriage has been DESTROYED by edward's close relationship with his favourite Hugh de Spenser (not sure if they are banging or not) and indeed hugh has been working to displace her from her prior position of influence (she seemingly got on okay with his previous favourite, who was horribly murdered by the nobility several chapters ago).

""The next time you want to make a point," Jude says, "I beg you not to make it so dramatically." His shoulder hurts, and she may be right about the iron poisoning. He certainly feels as though his head is swimming. But he smiles up at the trees... "So long as you're begging," he says."

Bartylus as Bridgerton confession:

Regulus: *voice quivering with anger/sadness* now can you please, let us ride home in silence and leave me alone!

Barty: I cannot.

Regulus: Please.

Barty: I cannot! because, what if I did have feelings.. for you.

Regulus: what..?

Barty: I have spent so long trying to feel less, *kneels infront of regulus, yearning clouding his face* trying to be the kind of man society expects me to be. And for a moment I thought I had succeeded.

Regulus:

Barty: But these past few weeks have been full of confounding feelings. *furrow his brows, shaking his head but keeping his eyesight on Regulus* Feelings like a total inability to stop thinking about you. About that kiss.

Regulus: *absolutely shook, breathing heavily as his heart beat picks up quicker*

Barty: Feeling like dreaming of you when i'm asleep. And in fact preferring sleep because that is where I might find you. A feeling that is like torture, but one which I cannot, *shakes his head* will not, do not want to give up.
