#i think about it A LOT

[princess-of-morkva]

thinking about. how merlin brings out the best in arthur and on the other hand arthur brings out the darkest parts of merlin. how arthur always tries to be better and do the right thing because merlin believes in him and he wouldn't want to disappoint him. because he believes merlin is good and he wants to be good for him. how merlin always ends up making the worst decision in his desire to protect arthur, doing things he never thought he'd do. how from saving arthur's life because that's a right thing to do, he goes to putting his life above any of his own morals.

while im absolutely devastated to have finished Dungeon Meshi, i kind of really love how ended with things not being "perfect".

Mithrun wasn't magically healed and will most likely continue rely on other to take proper care of himself. Marcille's lack of desire to care for her hair, which seemed rather important/helpful to her magic skills, might cause some issues in the future. Falin's appearance has been altered in a way that might never be reversible. Laios is forever cursed to never have his greatest desire (encountering monsters) fulfilled, while also having been tainted by the Winged Lion's own desire to eat, causing him to never feel full ever again.

those things can't/won't ever be fixed, mostly because it's most likely impossible. it gives a tinge of bittersweetness to it all, but it also sends such a profound message; this isn't the end. Mithrun's case is the best example, because he's still alive. it's not over yet! he can still live a life! maybe not the way he once expected, like any of them expected to live their life – but they can still continue to live it. the epilogue featuring Laios tells us that despite everything, he went on to be a great King, who cared and wanted to see the land prosper. that despite everything, he still went on to live a life.

there is just. something so comforting about it all. this bittersweetness, the hope, that despite disappointments, failure and hardships, you can still live a life.

you ever think about how fucked up it is that shen qingqiu's first mission out of sect was him subduing the skinner, a demon who targeted and replaced people no one would really miss?

very fun how the skinner ended up getting killed and destroyed by someone else who took the place of a person no one really missed

you ever think about all the friend groups you could have joined if you had made other decisions. all the people you could get along with just as well as you do with your current friends but you dont even know they exist

Does anyone else think about the ways the merge impacted the world beyond just a cultural/societal sense? Bc my geosci student ass is sitting here like ohhh so all their soil is fucked. Mixing of soils from diff realms is probs like introducing like a million more invasive species than anyone realizes (do you have any idea how alive soil is?) and fucking with the soil microbiome and agriculture is probably going to go to shit in one way or another. I’m sitting here like ohhh so all those dragons in the lava wastes might have kept developing wasting disease post-merge because volcanoes spew up different toxic shit depending (in part) on local geology and now that the volcanoes are in a new place they’re probably spewing new shit the dragons haven’t evolved to withstand. I’m sitting here like ohhh so with all the new chunks of land shoved haphazardly into Ninjago’s land by the merge has probably created new fault systems, subjecting places (which were previously seismically quiet) to earthquakes that their architecture and local psyche have never had to withstand before. Like ohhh okay their world is screwed whether or not the ninja stop mergequakes from happening. Like. Being a lego is not going to be very fun in the next few decades. Okay 👍 no WONDER Cole said the earth itself is screaming 👍

always thinking about how sam is presented by the narrative as “a monster”, “a freak”, “the dark/violent brother”, yet he’s the one who hates hunting and wants to get out of it and ultimately his biggest desire is to find a safe life. it makes me want to eat glass

i think the way the book became 3rd person pov when kim dokja got off the train is one of the most fucking genius literary moves ive seen in years

Richarlyson: You're skinny sir, are you eating well these days?

Pac: Not really. To tell you the truth, I've been eating... I stole, together with my son, we stole some cupcakes from the Federation. I ate some, but I know chocolate isn't the best thing to eat, right?

Richarlyson: 12 kilos D:

Pac: 12 kilos?!? No– what? My god. My god... Am I malnourished, Doctovo? Am I- Am I malnourished?

Richarlyson: You weigh less than a pitbull, sir.

Pac: Less than the singer? Damn... [Laughs]

Richarlyson: [Hits Pac]

No thoughts, just Anthony Lockwood in dialogue with this Narnia quote:

"For this is what it means to be a king: to be first in every desperate attack and last in every desperate retreat, and when there's hunger in the land (as must be now and then in bad years) to wear finer clothes and laugh louder over a scantier meal than any man in your land." -King Lune, The Horse and His Boy

That is all. Continue with your scrolling.

Hey. Reminder that Ponyboy was fourteen (14) when he watched both Johnny and Dally die. Making him the only living greaser who went to the old church. He was fourteen (14) when he was slapped (or thrown, if we’re talking movie) by his brother and fourteen (14) when he ran away. He was fourteen (14) when he watched his friend crumple when protesting a visit from his mom, fourteen (14) when he watched Dallas Winston get shot. Fourteen (14) when he ran into a burning church to save those kids.

Hey do you ever think about how Abraham loved Isaac and cast out Ishmael and how Isaac loved Esau over Jacob and how Jacob loved Joseph out of all of his brothers

1x03 dead in the water? Oh you mean the episode where it’s revealed that Dean had mutism as a child and then it’s literally never brought up again? Yeah I love that episode!
