#don’t tell me about the mistakes

[sirgwaiine]

@goth-emrys as soon as I read your ficlet about merwaine shenanigans, this popped into my head and I had to get it out

-.-.-.-.-.-

“Merlin!”

Merlin sighs and turns to watch as Gwaine collides with the door to the physician’s quarters.

“One of these days that door is going to come off of its hinges and I’m forcing you to fix it. I have too much on my plate already,” he complains. In return, Gwaine puts his hands to his chest, a faux-butthurt expression on his face.

“C’mon, Merlin, I haven’t even said anything,” Gwaine counters, but Merlin’s just shaking his head. He should have slept in this morning.

“Gwaine, that’s the way you say my name when you get into trouble and need my help to get you out of it,” Merlin replies, “and I’m swamped right now.”

Gwaine just smirks and makes puppy eyes. Or, tries to. Instead it just looks like that time Merlin pranked him during Samhain. Merlin’s never seen eyes look so close to actually popping out of their sockets.

Merlin groans, and Gwaine mutters a little “yes” before scrambling over to Merlin. Before Gwaine can even mention the trouble he’s in, they hear a stampede clambering through the hallway, shouting angrily.

“Betting again?” Merlin asks. Gwaine just chortles, but it stops at the “Knight or not, I’m gonna kill you!” that echoes its way from the hall into the open door.

“Hide me?” is all Gwaine says in response, and all of a sudden, Merlin knows how they can both benefit from this.

“Of course,” the warlock responds, a dastardly and enthusiastic grin on his face.

At the change in mood, Gwaine’s putting his hands up, a “wait” leaving his lips, but Merlin’s already begun speaking in the old tongue. Suddenly, it’s not the Gwaine he knows standing before him, but an old man with Gwaine’s eyes, surprise and displeasure writ clear across his face.

“Hey, beggars can’t be choosers,” Merlin says, delighted, and he’s not sure he’ll ever be able to wipe the smirk off of his face.

Gwaine’s old body is plopping down grumpily on the patient’s cot as a horde of angry townsfolk burst through the door. Again, Merlin can’t help but think how pissed he’ll be if that thing comes off of it’s hinges.

“Where is he?” grumbles an old man at the front of the pack. Merlin turns to them with a disappointed frown on his face.

“Where is who? This is the physician’s quarters. You can’t be in here while I’m with a patient,” Merlin scolds, gesturing to Gwaine on the cot. Gwaine takes the opportunity to groan and mumble to himself, gripping his abdomen. Merlin can’t help it.

“This man has been backed up for days. You can’t imagine the pain he’s in right now,” he almost blows it with a laugh, “The last thing he needs is this pileup barging in and blasting through while he’s in such a vulnerable state.”

The townspeople look genuinely unsure at this point. On the one hand, the physician’s quarters are at a dead end in the citadel, meaning there’s nowhere else Gwaine could have gone. On the other hand, they mean no disrespect to this elderly man. Merlin decided to really sell it.

“I’ve just given him a remedy of buckthorn and senna leaf. Do you really want to infringe upon his comfort as his body releases such a great accumulation of waste?”

Merlin’s got his hands on his waist, eyebrows knit, as he watches them catch up one by one. Then, all at once, they turn and scramble out the door.

“Oi! He’s going to be making some truly terrible noises! You can’t give him his privacy?” Merlin yells after them, and the last he sees of the crowd is a hand roughly yanking the door closed. He stares at it for a brief moment, and then he’s almost doubled over with laughter as he turns back to Gwaine. Gwaine who’s trying for unimpressed, but can’t quite seem to get the corner of his mouth to come down.

As Merlin calms down from his fit, Gwaine just looks at him, eyebrows raised and arms slightly extended, palms face up.

“Thanks for the assist, mate. I’m ready to be dashing again.” Now it’s Merlin’s turn to be unimpressed.

“Sorry, I seem to have forgotten how to reverse this one,” Merlin tells him, and for a second Gwaine’s face blanches, eyes wide again, before he smooths his face.

“Very funny, change me back,” he tries again, but Merlin’s already shaking his head.

“I think there’s a lot you could learn in a night as an old man. Like how to appreciate friends. And how good a nice soup truly is-“

“Merlin, please, you know I appreciate you and all you do, you can’t leave me like this,” Gwaine begs, but Merlin refuses to relent.

“I do, but this is too much fun,” the warlock replies. “Now get out of here before I decide to put buckthorn and senna leaf in your next meal.”

At that, Gwaine eases himself off the cot and stumbles his way toward the door, groaning and muttering the whole way.

When Gaius enters the room almost an hour later, he watches his ward with concern as Merlin laughs to himself, still wiping tears from his eyes.

My one semi-controversial outsiders musical opinion that I will never budge on is that the S in Soda’s spelling of GREASE is “selective”. Almost everything else I will listen to alternate interpretations and readings but not this. Never this

I am once again thinking about DOM PERCY! and going insane.

what do you mean a scene like this doesn’t play on loop in your brain:

Jasons’s eyes squeeze shut, head pressing into the rough brick as he tries to lean out of this touch, out of this pleasure.

“You say you don’t want it Grace,” Perseus smirks, arrogance dancing on the lilt of his words, “Muttering no over and over again. But this…”

And Jason sucks in a breath as Percy presses hard on his crotch. The relief in that hold is enough to make his eyes roll back.

“This is telling me you’re enjoying what I’m doing.”

Percy nips at his ear, licks a delirious path across the curve of his throat and up into his mouth. Jason moans. Curses himself for it.

They can hear people clattering about on the other side of the wall, spilling out at the opposite end of the dark alley.

They’ve been secluded for some time, but there’s the thrill of not knowing if they’re alone.

Percy latched onto it so fast it made Jason’s legs weak. He’d leaned on his friend for support and it had been the end of their innocent facade.

“Fuck Pers,” He groans, bucks into the hand in his pants, pulls his body further up the wall.

Percy’s voice is rough as it slides through him, taunting, unforgiving. “Don’t act like you aren’t enjoying this, little soldier.”

“Someone could see–“

“Isn’t that what you’re hoping for? Someone to stumble upon us and watch you succumbing to me?”

“Hnnghh” Is his elegant reply. He bites his lip, desperate to stop the pleasure spilling into the night air. Into his captor’s ego.

“Look at you getting hard for me,” Pretty stab at his worry. “Leaking into my palm at the idea of getting caught.”

Jason closes his eyes. Can’t bear to face the reality. He’s getting jacked off in an alleyway while his friends celebrate his graduation just behind the wall he writhes against. And he likes it. Fuck.

“Want to cum?”

“Please Pers.” He’s gasping, morality chasing sunsets three time zones from now. “Please.”

Sickening pride fills up his lungs. “Good boy.”

Percy slants his mouth over Jason’s and swallows his pleasure with a grin.

Was soooooo happy with this phase 1 which is what made it so much funnier that I was immediately clapped by his phase 2 😂

I’ve been staring at Jumilhac papyrus plates for like five hours. Anyway, I think this is my favourite drawing:

I like the contrast, with the red and black and how Osiris and Set are inverted from each other. (Also, obvious symbolism with Set in the stock “enemy” pose and him being upside down.)

That vessel on Osiris’s chair in the corner looks like it might be a heart? If it is that would be cool, like it relating to how Osiris’s heart is vindicated against Set when he becomes ruler of the dead and Horus is given his inheritance as king.

This is what Set looks like when you turn it the other way, by the way:

This papyrus is from the Ptolemaic period, and I believe Set (“Typhon”) was usually as just a donkey instead of a special animal by then. I like that he has a more canine head here, I think it looks cool (EARS!!! HE HAS POINTY EARS!!)

Also he has hieroglyphs next to him spelling his name instead of just an ideogram, which is cool. They’ve spelled it Stš here. (Usually it was Stẖ, but sometimes the š was sometimes used instead of ẖ in words sometimes.) Anyway, you’d pronounce that either S-t-sh or S-t-ch depending on who you ask (and of course the vowels are missing because it’s ancient Egyptian, so when you read it out loud you could say it Setesh or Setech even though that’s probably not how the ancient Egyptians said it).

*rotating in my head how magical girls have a similar issue to mecha in which majority of west speaking anime fans brush off the genre for stereotyping it into one thing besides the popular shows but magical girls have had it significantly worse because madoka actually effected the genre into becoming unnecessarily darker for a period and it’s also a reflection of how media aimed at women has more negative biased to it then media aimed at men*

Wow this is so fucked up and objectively more worse then mecha just getting brushed off for being “robot fights”.

*proceeds to continue not have a strong interest in magical girls even after this realization*

also still seeing the idea that Forever’s excuse for throwing bad in jail over the mass furniture theft is an actual logical reason. and um. it’s not it’s complete bullshit. he made that shit up on the fly after he realized pretty fast that it was a fuck-up and that he couldn’t undo it because he was being pressured by the other islanders. because he’s the president.

like I understand why he’s sticking to that story, q!forever is always put in the most difficult positions. It makes total sense for him to do it and it’s not even that unreasonable - but this isn’t one of those situations where q!bad is misrepresenting the situation and trying to trick q!forever into believing he did something he didn’t do. it’s fully q!forever that’s doing the misrepresenting in this case - his flawed reasoning is an excuse for him to hide behind and it’s not meant to be logically sound. if you think about it for more than 2 seconds it falls apart completely.

I’m still not getting over that one post where someone asked who the most loyal life series member is, I don’t have a solid answer myself tho I have scattered thoughts I wouldn’t mind sharing, but I CANNOT believe the people who said Jimmy. It’s not like Jimmy is the LEAST loyal, but he’s CERTAINLY not the MOST.

It’s something I really love about his character. That sort of disloyalty, not because he doesn’t care about his allies but because he feels like he needs to. It’s so delicious lol. His betrayals done out of desperation, that never end up working in his favor. He’s a fool to do it, yet a fool to not try, he’s a fool no matter what.

He’s got his whole canary curse yaknow? But he doesn’t sit around and accept it like I see him portrayed sometimes. He tries his best to break the curse, and this of course includes underhanded tactics like betrayal. He has his allies to help him but if he starts getting nervous, feels like they haven’t helped him enough he snaps and tries to take that help. He needs it and they’re not giving it to him. Most times he won’t even try asking, he knows they won’t help him so much willingly.

The way he desperately betrays his allies, no matter how much he likes them, and it doesn’t work out and he winds up worse off than before, because he risked losing the one or more people who were actually trying to help him. Augh it’s so good. Jimmy’s willingness to betray out of desperation is highly underrated imo. He doesn’t do it every time, but yknow.

Sometimes I wish I had more people interested in my creations, but then I get hit by thoughts like “Imagine the outrage you’d be faced with if your Avatar Suiren AU was more popular. This is the fandom that still cannot ‘forgive’ Korra for SOMETHING THAT WAS DONE TO HER, calling her the worst Avatar for losing the connection to her past lives (which came about because she HAD RAAVA LITERALLY RIPPED OUR OF HER) and acting like that is somehow a worse offence than, say, inaction leading to genocide. The hate you’d get for intentionally making Suiren the last Avatar would be IMMEASURABLE” and go “… actually, I’m glad that for the most part it’s just @katkastrofa and I–”

(Though then again… would it even be an AU by yours truly if it didn’t contain at least one cancellable offence? 😁)
