#it's ok arthur we all have gay thoughts

[icecreambeach]

Another loss in the "the whiter you are, the more beautiful" war, but now... can't help but think of Arthur Conan Doyle painstakingly describing Holmes as pale at every opportunity. babe was really sitting in the dark describing his ideal man i guess

Maurauders Era Characters if they were Demigods (with explanations) pt.2

find part 1 (the main 4, Lily, Mary, Marlene) here and then pt 3 here

Christopher (ATYD):

I'm not sure but its giving... minor god with interests in education. not athena. someone other than athena. Honestly? I wanna say Iris. Iris is a minor goddess, but important in symbolism. Chris has a lot of feelings of.. insecurity, and while its not necessarily a trait Iris has, a lot of "minor" demigods sometimes have that issue. Also rainbow... insert gay joke here

Severus Snape:

ok i know this may just be my thirst for symbolism but if he was a son of poseidon it would be so cool especially since I had Lily as a daughter of Athena (and Athena and Poseidon are constantly at odds). Poseidon was known for his intense jealousy-- "better than Zeus!" but not by much. And he can really wreck your ships if he's unhappy with you.

Regulus Black:

Okay I know I said Sirius was a son of Aphrodite. And I know this is going to sound... odd. But. given that this is headcannon and they only need to share 1 parent, I'm actually going to say Athena. This kid is a child of thought. He was a major turning point in the war. This would also explain some of the times he and Sirius butt heads, because of the difference in the way they think. Regulus lays low and changes the course of the war with one move.

Arthur Weasley:

... something something, im honestly. not sure. Athena, perhaps, because of his absolute thirst for knowledge about his special interest (that being muggles) so much so that he hoards the objects and stays in a job that does not pay him nearly enough because he gets to mess with them all day

Gilderoy Lockhart:

oh. this one is tough. I consulted people and they said Hermes. I think we can see why but its so odd to say that when I also said James and Peter were Hermes kids. Hermes just has HELLA range. Lockhart is clever enough to act dumb. That sounds like a Hermes thing to do.

Pandora Lovegood:

I wanna say Iris, goddess of the rainbow, for the aesthetic. But something in my heart says Hephaestus. She was so curious and dedicated to her experiments. I feel like it's "unexpected" but she doesn't really listen to other's judgements and kinda does her own thing. Like making magical experiments. It's great.

Grant Chapman:

this man is the sun, his father is apollo. theres no discussion about it hes just like that. If I wanted to give reasons, he's got this motivation (eventually) to make the world a less s**tty place, he loves music, also in the future he fosters children with his life partner and that seems like an extremely Apollo thing to do (considering he's the protector of young boys and men)

[cbk1000]

Hey, remember how I wrote a fic that was literally just about two men driving around the countryside looking at animals and being gay for one another? And it was 90,000 words? And at the end I went, "That wasn't enough nothing, so I'm going to write a sequel to this?" Anyway, here's a preview from that sequel:

Merlin gave him a few biscuits to show they were still chums, and then rested for a bit with his forearms on the table, recovering his stamina and courage for the follow-up round. The pocket on his scrub top was torn, and his trousers had seen neater days in a byre. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm. The door opened, thankfully, before he had launched himself into the next round, and in came Gaius with his stethoscope round his neck, saying, “It sounded like the Blitz in here, so I thought I’d give you a hand.”

“Yeah, did it give you flashbacks?” Merlin asked cheekily, though he did not yet have the breath to be a fully-realised shit.

Gaius rolled his eyes. “Ah, Charlie. Have you been giving Merlin some trouble?”

“He’s given me all the trouble. I’m sedating him next time.”

“It’s only an ear cleaning, Merlin.”

“That’s easy for you to say. I don’t see you in here being the David to his Goliath.”

“David won, didn’t he?” Gaius replied serenely.

“Sure, if you believe a book that says some guy talked to a burning bush and he wasn’t even tripping balls.”

Gaius rolled his eyes. “Where’s Arthur?”

“Does everyone ask ‘Where’s Merlin’ when I’m gone?” Merlin demanded.

“No.”

“He’s shopping because we’re the worst gays ever and we live like two bachelors who forgot that they have to do things like actually keep replenishing the refrigerator which, turns out, doesn’t just refill itself. But I can’t believe he’s still not here. I bet he knew Charlie was coming in today and he’s sat at home right now swigging champagne and living the high life and laughing at me cutting off dog’s balls and putting in bloody ear drops.” Then his phone went, and he slipped it out of his pocket to find there was a text notification from Arthur. “His ears must have been burning.”

Gaius put on fresh gloves and knelt down stiffly to greet Charlie whilst he read the text, which said very cryptically, Ring me; I need saving.

He did so. “Hullo, it’s your handsome, charming, taller boyfriend, saying these things because he assumes if you try and refute them you’ll ruin the bit. Who do you need saving from?”

“Oh,” Arthur said on the other end of the line. “Ok. Right. Well, don’t worry, I’ll be there straight away.” Then: “I’m sorry, Olivia, I’m afraid there’s a bit of an emergency at the clinic. Right. I’ll tell him as soon as I see him. Right. But I think it’s really a pretty big emergency and I’m needed straight away. Yes, I’ll tell him. Yes. No, it’s not him on the phone, it’s one of the front desk staff. I think he’s in surgery. Yes. That’s why I’m needed. Exactly.” Merlin took the phone away from his ear for a moment to laugh.

“Are you free of her?” he asked when he had finished snorting.

“I’m hurrying across the street now, too quickly for her to follow, so I think I’m in the clear. Or else I’ll be hit by a car; either way, I'm free.”

“Is that what’s taken you so long to do the shopping? I was about to ask if you’d gone to York.”

“I’m at our very own Morrisons right across the street. I finished shopping nearly an hour ago. She ambushed me. Trixie has rabies again.”

“Oh, for fuck’s sake,” Merlin blurted out.

“Merlin,” Gaius scolded him with a frown.

“Well, sorry, but Olivia Harris thinks her bloody dog’s got bloody rabies again, so I’m pretty confident the next thing Arthur’s about to say is that she demands I go out there and fix her up with one of those rabies shots again before she’s torn limb from limb by her 14-year-old Pomeranian. Some people are too stupid to live, and I wish they wouldn’t.”

“Merlin!” Gaius barked.

“Oh, yeah, because this whole village is going to go into mourning if she cocks up her toes. Probably give Death a plaque and a hand shake when he comes for her.”

“I’ll be there in a minute,” Arthur said. “I’ve still got to get the shopping home, but I know she’s watching me, and if I don’t pop into the clinic for the ‘emergency’ then I might as well walk into oncoming traffic.”

“Don’t do that; I need you to help me with Charlie.”

There was a long pause on the other end of the phone. “Don’t,” Merlin snapped. “You dare go home or walk into oncoming traffic. I’ll drag you right out of hospital.”

He did not walk into oncoming traffic, but through the employee entrance a few minutes later, after Gaius, citing the imminent arrival of Arthur as a reason to scurry off without having so much as scratched one of Charlie’s ears had scarpered. Merlin, sensing the presence of a fellow cow wrestler, who might have been up to the gargantuan task before him, poked his head out of the exam room, said, “Get in here,” and yanked Arthur in by his shirt, in case the command had not been clear enough.

“Don’t manhandle me,” Arthur said.

“I thought you liked that,” Merlin said.

Arthur was still fresh enough to being dicked down that he coloured, very faintly, though bamboo shoots under his fingernails would not have gotten him to confess to it. He went into the overhead cabinet for some gloves, and then knelt down in front of Charlie, though all he would have had to do to meet him eye to eye was to stoop down a bit. “Hello, Charlie. Has this twat been mucking about with your ears again?” He rubbed them.

“I’ve cleaned them out and just need to put in the antibiotic drops.”

“‘Just.’ That’s like saying you ‘just’ need to build the third Pyramid of Giza,” Arthur complained.

“That’s right, I did the first bloody two, you whingeing pillock, now man up.”

“Good morning, by the way,” Arthur said, in a tone which implied very heavily it was not. Arthur had had a rare lie-in that morning whilst Merlin slipped out ahead of him, so that their last interaction had been the night previously, a shag which ought to have put him in a better mood.

“Good morning, you crotchety tit.”

“You’d be crotchety too if you’d just had to listen to Olivia Harris for an hour.”

“Well, I’m going to have to listen to her for another hour this afternoon I’m sure, so I don’t actually have any sympathy.”

“You never do.”

“He’s a rotten liar, Charlie, I’m delightful.” He hauled Arthur in by the front of his shirt, and briskly pecked him on the mouth. “In case Charlie leaves you my war widow.”

Arthur rolled his eyes. “Don’t be such a coward; he’s like a giant teddy bear.”

“Yeah, that’s why you were thinking about walking into oncoming traffic when I said you needed to help with him.”

“I was thinking of walking into oncoming traffic because I had to talk to Olivia Harris for an hour.” 

The teddy bear stood cooperatively enough for his two friends, delighted to see they had multiplied, and that the second was the lovely blonde who gave him against the express advice of his stingier partner an extra biscuit; then this friend too transformed into that vile, snakeish Judas. Arthur patted his shoulders, and said, “Up” a little wearily, though he regularly bore the weight of an animal almost as heavy. He scratched all round the ears with Charlie’s hot breath in his face, and under the lax chin whilst Merlin sidled in with the drops. He managed the right ear before Charlie had quite comprehended what was happening to him; then he lunged back from Arthur with a look to show how he had wounded him. 

“Whoa, there, mate,” Arthur said, catching his front legs, and pinning them to his shoulders, whilst Charlie hopped about on his hind legs, shaking his head, and whipping it about, and turning Merlin’s ministrations into something like a bloody-minded Cirque-de-Solei audition, where the interviewers were throwing roundhouses at him whilst he contorted himself for their amusement.

They were all three panting, sweaty, and dishevelled when at last the ordeal was finally over, and Charlie clumped down onto the floor, and then galloped over to the Sulking Corner because he knew that Arthur would want to make friends again with some treats, whereas Merlin would have merely called him a great baby. 

“How did this morning go?” Arthur sked, squatting in front of Charlie and offering him a chicken flavoured gravy bone. “Ear drops aside.”

“Pretty well. Diggy’s bollocks are no longer amongst us, RIP. Had an emergency c-section after that; poor bitch was in labour all yesterday and still hadn’t progressed by the time her owner brought her in, but all the pups were alive and she came through the surgery just fine. Oh, and Emma says she wishes you weren’t gay. And that you’re such a soppy loser for me that it defeated her mum’s homophobia.”

Arthur looked round from Charlie and arched his eyebrow. “What? So what you mean is, today Emma confessed to being totally insane?”

“She did all but say she fancied you, so, yeah.”

“I do have a history of attracting lunatics.”

“True,” Merlin said. “It’s your arse. If you just had your personality, even crazy people would leave you alone.”

“Oh really? Maybe I should stop doing squats, then. Live out the rest of my days in peace.”

“Don’t do that,” Merlin said, and swatted him on the bum, unfortunately timed to the opening of the door, which had been opened by Gaius.

“Merlin.” He frowned.

“What? That’s one of the most innocent things I’ve ever done to him.”

“At the clinic he is your coworker, not your boyfriend. I’m not going to have another complaint from one of our clients about you sexually harassing people.”

“That was a misunderstanding.”

“So you didn’t make a lewd comment to Arthur at the front desk in front of Mrs Clarke?”

“Well I thought it was under my breath.”

“You don’t have an under your breath,” Arthur retorted.

“Arthur started it anyway,” Merlin said. 

“I did not!”

“You said--”

“I don’t think Gaius needs to know what I said to know that you’re guilty,” Arthur cut in hastily.

“I’m certain I don’t,” Gaius said drily. “Nor do I want to have any inkling of 98% of what’s said between the two of you. Just keep it away from the front desk.” He jotted down something in the chart he was holding. “Do the two of you have time to see an alpaca today?”

“An alpaca?” Merlin asked.

“There’s a local breeder who’s just got a new male and bred him to several of her females without any pregnancies, and she was hoping we might nip over and take a sperm sample.”

“What am I supposed to use to collect alpaca jizz? I assume what we’ve got for the bulls won’t work.”

“We say semen, Merlin.”

“Well, regardless, semen, jizz, spunk, baby batter--what am I supposed to put it in?”

“You could use a bit of tupperware.”

“We are not using our tupperware to collect alpaca semen,” Arthur broke in.

“Calm your tits, I’m not going to make you eat out of it afterwards. Obviously we’d chuck it; you can’t erase that with a washing-up. But, yeah, not really keen on wasting some tupperware on that.”

“A sandwich baggie, then,” Gaius said with the serenity of a man who would not be sticking his hand under an orgasming alpaca. 

“I’ve still got to put the shopping away. I’ll take Merlin, nip home quickly, and then drive us over to the farm.”

“You just want me to put the shopping away,” Merlin complained.

“Well I did it the last two times in a row.”

“Well I was operating on a pig.”

“You always have some excuse.”

“‘Can’t, I’m sorting out intestines’ is an extremely valid one.”

“I just find it extremely interesting that these things happen when there’s shopping to put away.”

“It’s not like I’m scheduling rectal prolapses to coincide with when we do the shopping--”

“Boys,” Gaius said.

“Oh, yeah, right, alpaca jizz,” Merlin said.

They bickered amicably all the way home and whilst refiling pantry and fridge and cupboards, comparing the number of items each had put away, and determining whether he was or wasn’t carrying a fair load, till Merlin decided to cheat by saying, “I am putting away my stuff so much faster” to ensure that Arthur finished the job.

“You’re a cock,” Arthur said.

“You’re way too easy to goad,” Merlin said.

Jr Year ep 3

This is me live blogging bc I need to get thoughts out also would love fandom friends full spoilers bellow the cut just so no one accidentally reads anything they don’t want to this will be long

EX GIRLFRIEND I will legit fight Brennan why did we at least not see it....

btw me saying I will fight brennan is mostly a joke like I get why we made all these changes, I don't actually love everything but I do trust all these people enough that it will serve the story and play out great

Immediately clocking the fairy festival (Frosty whatever it is I'm so sorry Brenan says it and then it's immediately out of my head) connection we love

love love looove the aguefort projections, so many Arthur statues!

Riz's manic energy is such a vibe, not exactly healthy but a vibe I get

the astral realm where all the dead gods go

lowkey love that Gorgug and Fabian are solid like the boys lowkey play them so dumb but that's just teenage boys for ya (also thought maybe Fabian would be in less trouble but still some so this makes my anxiety relax a bit, only issues we already knew off)

Actually for the wizards I'm really chill is an A+ and also probably true sentence

ah the answer I needed about Fig's multiclass

Ah the society of shadows again, and a college for sad alone adventureres lol

their record is bad but it should be worse when talking about the one person sports team is SO FUNNY to me

the friends bit is so good, everythig about it, all the laughing, Emily failing intentionally, Ally letting it work even tho it shouldn't, perfection

Lydia still making half orc meals we love and stan

Adaine-Riz friendship is SO IMPORTANT to me

the sibbling energy our girls have are amazing

the Thisstlesprings will literally just go into sex ed and Gorgug's reaction is gold everytime

"Can I run from you?" LMAO

listennnn we are gonna get into Gorgug isn't a good barbarian according to his teacher again aren't we? it's why it wasn't pre approved? I will fight this teacher he literally saved the world twice as mostly a barbarian let him be a chill barbarian

WHY DID GILLEAR NOT TALK TO FIG

yes Fabian make Fig go to class

yay new lunch lad

also I legit thought the time quangle was just an explain continuity errors away and also get rid of the agueforts who break encounters thing but it might be related to the plot now that it's come back up in the recap and in the intercom in story

Fig has Gillear's luck confirmed ok

Zac's physical comedy continues to be SO GOOD

the sillies really are here I'm laughing so much

straight away this lady is insane

four different dogs is such a good burn, love agro Kristen

do not trust this people at all

don't trust the attomaton tbh

also yes I just thought of this now so it's late but going back to Kipperlilly whatever her name is, like homegirl can't make big institutional changes youre class president not on staff

rules always being followed to the letter is tbh scary there has to be room for interpretation, perfect order doesn't exist

YES PLOT love how it's already too much bc mood and "yeah I cannot think about that right now" and "embodyment of writers block" oh this season is gonna continue to hit me in the face

Wanda Childa is wild

she was a turncoat, more importantly she was a mirror

why is Ally's hey girlie voice so terrifying

fully forgot porter was the barbarian teacher and I will fight porter LET GORGUG MULTICLASS...

aaaa I'm going into a worry is here, legit thought it was gonna be in battle but I love Gorgug's energy here bc I've been there where you do things kinda nontraditional way and have teachers make the achivements sound so much worse just bc i didn't get there through the path they wanted me to take

love terpsichore immediately

they get 30's fairly often now we love level 10

fabian is such an arsty kid at heart and always was like Lou wanted to make a jock maybe but never did

listen trashbag sandwich is worrying but it was indeed fine

I get that Riz is type A but he is the non annoying kind

homegirl who desn't like technicalities and ppl gettign away with stuff got out in one huh? also I have no idea what that means the teacher found her? what?

Jawbone I love you and also I worry about how much I relate to Riz

I so hate this girl I'm with Adaine, she's the worst we've had

oh no the Applebee's

ok so I have a huge like essay somewhere about both why I don't like how Kristen is dealing with Cassandra but also how I 10000% understand her as someone who abandoned religion but was then forced to still be in similar roles and religious enviornments after that somewher in my head buut also who cares but just know it exists

omg Bucky giving her a hug I cry

Kristen is not doing well but that was actually a pretty good parental confrontation tbh I'm proud

[pumpkinsy0]

papercut brokeback mountain au hcs. perhaps. Maybe. 🙂🧍

ive never watched brokeback mountain,,,,but ik ENOUGH to know that if i ever find out who u r,,,u will b dealt w,,,swiftly,,,,,

•BEFORE WE GET ALL ANGSTY, can i say that before i rlly knew of the plot,,,i thought brokeback mountain was like,,,,a sex joke,,,im not even trying to b funny, i rlly, truly thought it was, but it doesnt matter bc i can say that curly would b making jokes about it anyways and ponys sick of it

•i think its fitting to say curlys jack and ponys ennis, and i say that bc like i said, curly doesnt care who hes doin and to a degree pony doesnt????but he cares more so about what ppl think, and curlys not rlly like that

•idk exactly how it happens in the movie, but maybe instead of them just like being adults all throughout most of it, its more so like a “u see them grow up and get closer” thing, it started out as a summer job and every summer they were excited to see each other every summer and kept in touch over the course of the year till they saw each other again, but it is mostly about them in their 30s or 40s, middle aged papercut gets a rare appearance

•this also means that curlys teasing pony for his name, a cowboy w the name pony???, curly def had a few things to say bout that one, in return pony teased curly about his last name being shepard considering they were dealing w sheep

•when it comes to pony and him being afraid to show himself, i think that would piss curly off a lot more, bc pony would reciprocate and then other times literally push him away, and curly hated how “complicated ur making this”, its even worse bc pony does in fact have a way w words and curly wont 100% admit it but it makes him feel special so for pony to like him one minute then push him away the next???yea hes goin through it

•w the postcards theyd send each other, this is gay as hell, but im a sucker for indirect kissing w papercut, so maybe they kiss their postcard before they send it off

•pony would even draw curly and let curly keep em and he’d have a lil note at the bottom w it, this is a cruel world we live in just let them kiss in a deli store💔💔

•they swap hats and coats a lot, the coats dont fit, but thats ok, it still smells like em so they keep it

•honestly for this au, id say its a mix of curlys parents being homophobic and pony being scared to b out w it, everyone else knows just, doesnt say anything, kind of like a dirty secret?????

•instead of saying i love u, they just say “i swear”

•what if nothing bad happened and we were all SUPER just say that pony and curly accidentally got into lavender marriages and their wives r rlly just gfs and pony and curly r bfs hahahah, but nobody says anything (im gonna lose my marbles)

•if we wanna go the “one of them dies” route (i hate u deeply) instead of what happened w the ashes, lets say that years ago, they had one of those “when i die, i wanna b a _____” OR the other always just say em as a certain animal, and when they die, everytime they see that animal, they thing if them!!! think of like,,,red dead redemption w that buck and coyote when it comes to arthur morgan

[annabellelupin]

thoughts I've had while re reading poa as a marauders fan, part one (chapters 1 - 4)

(id just like to point out this is my first time reading the books since middle school and first time I've read the books since I became a marauders fan in 2020)

chapter 1

- ok so ye the Weasleys are really poor, but if they're "extremely poor" you'd figure they'd use their money for something other than a vacation

-I forgot sweet little hedwig existed djdjdjdkdjd

-someone please eat the rat

-let the future cat have him pleaseeeee

-why did I start to dislike hermione so much again??? maybe it's just movie hermione I hate and I can't remember the differences between the two

chapter 2

-why are most of the antagonistic characters portrayed as fat and why is the fact that dudley is obese brought up so many fucking times like that seems pretty fat phobic of you Rowling

- when actually reading and thinking about the Harry potter books and movies I imagine the actor that played sirius and not the fanart marauders sirius I'm more used to, and apparently his hair is depicted as elbow length in the books not shoulder length WE WERE ROBBED. could have had long haired sirius with a bun in ootp

- also I swear marauders Era Sirius and golden trio era Sirius (so canon and fanon sirius) are two completely different people in my mind

- also forgot "muggle" news talked about sirius

-just finished the chapter and seriously he is so sassy (guess that's what you get when you're Sirius and marlenes godson, and James and Lily's actual son)

- also I really fucking hate how much mental abuse is glazed over here like????

- it happens every summer and he's forced to return to his abusers like wtf

- this is why I don't like Dumbledore very much

chapter 3

-forgot padfoot wasn't like an actual dog sized dog

-lowkey forgot about padfoot in general ngl

-bro harry are your really throwing precious and innocent Neville under the bus rn come on dude seriously

-ok like when they mention Sirius I can't help to think of the dramatic, gay, Remus obsessed Sirius from all of the wolfstar text posts I've read

-also the fact they have to clarify what a gun is in the wizard news is wow

-same with Ron not knowing how to use a phone

-no wonder these people keep having Wizarding wars and unstable teachers at their schools

- love how this 13 year old kid is panicking over the possibility of going to wizard prison for breaking one rule

-also side note the more I read the more I feel like Daniel Radcliffe portrayed him super well

- hedwig supremacy

- "ur the literal wizard president" "yea but I'm not ur guardian dumbass I can't sign ur permission slip what in hell is this"

- why is reading stans parts so fucking hard

chapter 4

- ah Florean Fortescue the one genuinely nice adult in these books (isn't he like Alice's dad or something?) I just remembered her last name is actually more or less a headcanon uhhh that's fun

- the Irish quidditch team are actually mentioned along with the quidditch world cup even Harry's checkin out the firebolt

- coincidence that Dean and Seamus are mentioned at the same time? I think not

- seriously jkr why do you keep giving kids abusive gaurdians and acting like it's nothing (talking about Neville and his grandmother)

- "...Ron looking incredibly freckly, Hermione very brown..." (pg 55 in my book). when first reading this part years ago I registered it as Hermione was black/poc and not that she was just tan from the sun lmao

- I swear crookshanks was James' old cat and that's why he hated peter

- also Percy wow this why you don't befriend stray rats man

- the things this rat has seen go on in Percy's and Oliver's dorm room....

- still probably not as bad sharing a dorm with Remus and Sirius tho

- I love the twins sense of humor

- but guys stop messing with my precious baby Percy he's just- an autistic overachiever doing his best guys

- ..."he lost everything..." Yes Sirius did in fact lose almost everything Arthur but not bc what you think happened dude

- "he's safe with Dumbledore-" yea fucking right /sar

- "stationniong soul sucking demons around a school is such a good idea hehehehe" /sar

- literally there's no fucking way McGonagall thought Sirius did it- literally fucking refuse to believe that she did

going to start another post for chapter 5 bc oh boy it's going to be long

[sugdenlovesdingle]

I’m out with Emmerdale. I really didn’t think that show could reach the bottom of the barrel as much as they already have but they actually exceeded themselves. From what I have seen and, it was just one comment so it might be a supposition from the writer of that post is that Marshall was axed, which i would agree with what we know now. Notably due to the apparition of the aunt, we never heard about, of course it was supposed that he had other family than his father but why did she was never mentioned in any of the storyline he got. Now, if he got axed, I seriously won’t understand why, the actor wasn’t the actor of the year, he didn’t smash Emmerdale with his storyline and honestly him and Arthur could have been way better than they were, but he was a promising addition. I scoffed at the article that announced his departure after they said the ship was being compared to Heartstopper, I wished they had just an ounce of what Heartstopper got. I agree with the post you answered : what was the point of their storyline, how can they get together and then we hear nothing for months (because of the actors having exams) then they are back and they have a fight out of nothing and we are being told it’s been like this for quite some time and now departure. It just doesn’t make sense, it’s not a coherent story ( we know the writers suck but…) which also is the reason why I am thinking of the actor’s asked to leave. I mean at that age, he might not know what he want and decided acting was not for him. Also, I immediately thought about it when I saw the news and I hope it’s not the case but he might have had pushback from his classmates or others for playing a gay character or Emmerdale pushed back because they got told off by somebody that having a gay couple below the age of consent is not possible, especially with the ongoing issues in England with people pushing the lgbtq being gr**mer who lure children. Maybe also there has been criticism because the show is too “crowded” with lgbt character and of course Emmerdale being who they are decided to clean up just like they did when they killed Lawrence, Finn, made Kasim leave in an previous era. There is this new couple with Nicky and Vanessa is coming back so…

I am sorry, it was longer than what I intended it to be but if it’s Marshall that bite the dust, when there are dozen of others characters that should just leave, than Emmerdale is just the dumbest, most incoherent show that I might have ever come across. The funny part (that is actually very sad) is that the picture of his departure had the most intimacy, him and his supposed boyfriend had, since his introduction.

Let it all out anon, tell me how you really feel. 😉 Yeah the whole Marshall thing is stupid. I saw an article from DS though that suggested that this might have been the plan all along (based on a quote from one of the terrible trio). That the whole point was to have Arthur experience his first heartbreak... but then there are other ways they could have done that... and have them actually act like boyfriends. Alfie is 15 (thank you Google) and I'm guessing the kid who plays Marshall is too - even 15 year old actors can play a couple. Ok they can't throw them together and have a drunken one night stand (that's probably what they'll do with Nicky and Suni) but there are other ways to portray a couple than just sex. I think they get compared to Heartstopper because they're young - even though the Heartstopper boys are older (the actors - not sure how old the characters are supposed to be). But it does show how you can tell a romantic relationship story without throwing the characters into bed together. They would have to be careful (for lack of a better word) on how/what to do with them as a couple but I'm sure they could have come up with something in between random hook ups and what they actually got. And I know Alfie's mum is very involved in everything Emmerdale, and I'm guessing the kid that plays Marshall's parents/guardians are too since he's under age... so between the parents, the actors, the writers, and the terrible trio, i'm sure they could have come up with something that everyone was comfortable with and still gave us more of a story than whatever the hell this was. I don't think it's got anything to do with the facebook bitching. I saw comments about Suni today too - how Emmerdale needs to look at actual Yorkshire villages because that's not how it *really* is. Apparently brown people don't exist in Yorkshire - who knew! Just wait until they find out he's into guys too. But emmerdale has never given a shit about what's being said on social media and stuff. The only time I remember them ever addressing a reaction to a story was when they announced Laurel having an abortion after finding out the baby had down syndrome. People still bring that up and that was actually really well done (for a change). As for the show being too crowded - they can't seem to hang onto their actors for more than a year these days... Naomi, Marcus, Marshall, all left or are leaving. Liam Fox/Dan is apparently doing panto this year and hopefully at least leaving temporarily... and they just brought in Charles' parents and gave his dad an aneurysm so he's living on borrowed time too. If they really wanted to do a clean up they should bring back Meena and let her get rid of some dead weight. (not going to happen but a girl can dream)

Love of my life.

The story of a redhead quidditch player falling for a peculiar blonde that didn’t care about fitting in.

Ginny Weasley knew when she got to Hogwarts she was not straight. Even at 11 years old she knew she felt something more for girls than she did for the guys her mother kept trying to set her up with. She was so scared to say anything about being a lesbian that she made her crushes her best friends, because that’s better than not having them at all. But one girl in particular made Ginny’s head spin and that was looney Luna Lovegood. Everyone called her looney because she talked about the creatures no one saw and only theorized about.

Luna Lovegood, an oddity even at Hogwarts, thought she’d find love by her 3rd year, not even a chance. All of the boys were garbage and she was so deep in the closet she was basically bordering on Narnia. She’d rather keep her friends, just that, friends, even though she had her heart set on one ginger in particular. Ginny Weasley was a broody redhead with a love for quidditch, joining the team when she was in her 3rd year after one of the chasers graduated. Luna made it a point to attend every Gryffindor match and cheer her friend on even if the thought of her muscular body made Luna’s head spin out fantasies she had to shove into the depths of her brain.

It was their 7th year, the war was done, Voldemort was dead. And they were not only helping rebuild the school, but trying to finish their education. Harry had run off to Romania with Draco to study dragons, those two were madly in love just like how Ginny wished she could be. For a short time during the war she fancied Harry; they even dated for a short time. But Harry confessed that he and Draco were falling in love and that he was gay. This didn’t bother Ginny as much as it should have but she had her heart in other places besides Harry. She was still scared but she needed to tell her love how she felt before it was too late.

Throughout the year the girls grew closer than they had ever been, they helped rebuild the castle and add charms they wished they had to help future students through their time boarding at Hogwarts. By the end of the year Ginny had sent her parents an owl telling them she was spending the summer at luna’s to help her rebuild her home after her father’s death. She got an owl back on the day they were supposed to leave telling her to bring Luna to the Burrow for the summer and she’d get Arthur to put a team together to rebuild in the fall.

“Cmon Luna, let’s go.” Ginny said ushering Luna out of the school toward the cairrages that were towed by thesterals to the Hogsmeade station.

"Are you sure Gin? I don't want to impose on your family." Luna worried

"it's no problem Luna, really. My mum would have never offered you a place to stay while we help rebuild if she didn't want you there." Ginny told.

"ok Ginny, I trust you." Luna said. She suddenly realized that she would being close proximity to her crush all summer long and even after that because of the rebuilding process.

It was going to be a long summer.

Ginny was excited, nervous, scared, and panicking all at he same time. She was about to host her crush for the summer, in her bedroom. She was going to share a bed with her crush and pray she didn't do anything stupid to ruin their friendship. She knew a relationship wouldn't work with Luna because said blonde was simply uninterested. Luna had her own loves to follow and Ginny wanted so hard to respect that. Little did she know.

A month into her stay at the burrow Luna almost blew her cover when she was watching Ginny work out. Her face had a bright red tint to it that contrasted greatly with her pale skin and Fred noticed Luna's look.

"oi Luna, you alright? Your face is awfully red," he asked approaching the blonde.

"oh it's nothing Fred, but thank you for asking." Luna smiled embarrassed.

As soon as the ginger man was out of sight she sighed frustratedly. She just wanted Ginny to love her the way she loved Ginny. She was tired of this game of chicken she was playing. She found herself walking outside to the workout bench Ginny was perched on without even thinking twice.

"Ginny, can you come in for a bit, I need to talk to you." Luna said trying to avoid looking at Ginny anywhere other than her face. She wore a sports bra that was dark green that accentuated her ample breasts and matching shorts that hugged the curve of her hip and rounded the swell of her bum. Her toned stomach was shiny with sweat and her hair was tied into a messy bun to keep it out of the way from the bar.

"course Luna," Ginny said. Upon entering the house she followed Luna to the bedroom and sat on her bed looking up at the blonde.

"Ginny, I'm tired of playing chicken with myself. I'm sorry if I ruin our friendship by saying this but it needs to be said. I love you, not like a friend, but like a partner," Luna told avoiding Ginny's eyes.

"oh thank God. I was about to die keeping that secret, now come here my little star and give me a kiss." Ginny said reaching for the blonde.

"wait... What?" Luna asked shocked

"I was too scared to say but I've liked you since second year and i made friends with you just so I could have you in my life even if I couldn't truly express my love for you like I wanted to." Ginny said "I'm so glad you said something because it was quite literally eating me up inside spending so much time with you and not saying I love yoy or calling you gushy pet names."

"that's a relief," Luna said, she took her opportunity and grabbed the gingers chin and crashed her lips to Ginny's.

Ginny quickly took over and grabbed Luna by the back of her neck while the blonde moved her hands to grasp Ginny's hips.

When they pulled away there was feeling of relief in the air between the two.

"I'm so fucking glad we did that." Ginny sighed.

"Me too," Luna smiled.

After everything they've been through this has to have been the hardest for both girls to admit.

Upon entering the house after their first kiss and official beginning of their relationship Molly approached the two.

"Mum, before you say anything; Luna's my girlfriend now and I plan on one day if she'll let me putting a ring on her finger. She deserves everything and more and I could not be a happier woman than I am with her by my side." Ginny told

"it's about time you two, I was wondering how long it'd take." Molly smiled at the pair.

"What?" Ginny said confused "you knew? I was so deep in the closet I was in Narnia. how could you know?"

"I'm your mother, I have a sixth sense for this type of thing. I knew you were gonna turn out gay the first time you picked up a broom. It's genetic, I'm bisexual and I played quidditch, Charlie is genderfluid, and he played quidditch. Fred and George are both asexual panromantic they played. Then Ron turned out to be pansexual and he played. Then you started playing quidditch an it was only a matter of time. I'm surprised it took you this long." Molly explained

"it didn't really take me this long to realize, it just took me this long to work up enough gall to admit it to the low of my life," Ginny told wrapping a protective arm around Luna.

"go on and do lesbian things, I have to make dinner for everyone, Harry, Ron, Draco, Hermione, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Fred, and George are coming to spend some time together before the summer bustle." Molly said, basically permitting the two to do as they pleased.

"ok mum," Ginny smiled dragging Luna off to a nearby broom cupboard.

"Ginerva Molly, don't you dare even think about defiling my broom cupboard especially not for your first time. Go to your room and cast some silencing charms, I'll send a patronus when dinner's done," Molly scolded. "Nonsense I swear, your brothers already defiled that broom cupboard enough."

"eww mum!" Ginny grimaced.

"it's the truth though," Molly responded.

Ginny took Luna and hauled her over her shoulder and took off for the stairs.

"don't do anything dumb" Molly called after the two.

Finally a happy ending for the two longing lovers.

Hope you enjoy ❤️

this is literally beautiful holy shit i am amazed

when i made the post i was referencing when ive said stuff abt kilgharrah revealing that hes dying playing a big part in merlin losing his shit (this post) but i didnt think abt it happening earlier in the series this is feeding my ideas ill save this then update it with my thoughts later once i sort them

ok its later im off that fucking farm (actually it was amazing there was a cat that i befriended and we took a nap together and i understood him so well bc he rly liked having his face rubbed and it was just like me when i autism)

so the things that im thinking rn are that merlin was already losing his fucking shit cuz everyone was dying then kilgharrah revealed that hes gonna die soon and that was simply so much i firmly believe it had a very big effect on merlin

theres a certain feeling i need to portray of the way that merlin protects arthur and i dont rly know how to describe it so that anyone but me could understand i think the best way to say it is that merlin has lost the good pure i love you and ill tell u that one day but conditions arent good enough yet love and is now on the bad corrupt obsessed i have killed for u so many times i love u so much and u can never know love and he protects arthur kind of out of habit and a lot out of keeping him alive until merlin can reveal his magic and he can be fucking free and i say habit bc he doesnt rly believe that much that hes actually ever gonna be free he just remembers when he used to and goes with that so when he gets all bloody he remembers how bad he wanted to be free before

anyway this is relevant bc im realizing rn that kilgharrah is a huge HUGE part of this timeline bc he tells merlin abt the prophecy and i also firmly believe that when merlin freed him not only did he feel bad abt being the reason camelot was almost destroyed and learn abt being a dragonlord then watched his dad die i think that when he freed kilgharrah he thinks abt how bad he wants to be free and its kinda just a small thing in the back of his head till his dad dies and hes like holy shit this never wouldve happened if id been allowed to exist then this thought sparks the going fucking crazy bc he wants to be free arc and it combines with the going fucking crazy bc ppl keep dying arc which starts a lil after that and when kilgharrah mentions that hes dying these arcs kinda have a moment bc their dynamic is strange hold on i need to explain it in another paragraph for myself so i can understand what the actual fuck im tryina say

so at the beginning merlin thinks its so cool that he has this great destiny so him and kilgharrah are besties then theres the thing that kilgharrah does i forgot what it is where theyre beefing for a bit but then merlin needs somebody and kilgharrahs been the only one in the past to actually be able to help so he has to go to him even tho hes pissed off abt it and this is how they are the whole time bc kilgharrah talks shit abt the ppl merlin like then he ends up being right then theres the whole thing with him terrorizing camelot but merlin cant be mad bc that mf was hunted then enslaved for years and the terrorizing of camelot is the reason merlin knows more abt who he is now so basically their whole thing is im gonna come to u for advice be upset abt what u have to say then be even more upset when u were totally fucking right kilgharrah literally is merlins gay bestie that always knows everything abt how to get that man and which ones to not go for

i also think kilgharrah is a physical representation of all the shit merlin internalizes idrk how to explain that ill update if i figure it out but its the core of their lil love/hate

ok back on topic tho bc kilgharrah had so much influence over the whole story in the way that if he had or hadnt said certain things at certain times things wouldve changed but theres also how would merlin have processed his death at certain times on the timeline like if kilgharrah died a lil before merlin met mordred again would merlin have remembered his dead friend and in his grief been like hm that stanky mf was always right maybe i should just fucking kill this dude right here right now then mordreds too dead to kill arthur and its happily ever after or if kilgharrah died at any point from season 3 on but while merlins beefing with him would merlin feel bad bc thats still his friend and he died while they were on bad terms so he goes and fixes all the problems kilgharrah told him abt that he promptly ignored bc he didnt wanna kill his friends like theres so many possibilities in so many ways

ily for sparking these thoughts bc now im gonna be the mf exploring the different ways shit coulda gone down thru writing fics

do u guys think arthur still wouldve died if kilgharrah died first

[absolutebuffoonery]

PT 3 (including finale): I convinced my dad to watch merlin with me and here’s what he has to say

pt 1

pt 2

---

“They’re loving that.”

“I don’t even wanna know what they’re doing in there.”

-When Merlin and Arthur get caught in the net booby trap

-

Arthur, to Merlin: You’re the only friend I’ve got and I couldn’t bear to lose you. 

Dad: *literally gasps and gapes at me in surprise*

Merlin: Really?

Arthur: Don’t be stupid. 

Dad: *laughs hysterically*

-

*uther emerges from the veil*

“Wow, of all the dead people, he got the right guy”

-

“Was that a reference to fisting?” -the horseplay scene when Arthur threatens Merlin with his fist 

-

“Okay that was pretty gay.”

(I don’t even remember what he was talking about here, but he was right)

-

“Arthur’s unconscious again, alert the media.”

-

“I really don’t know what to make of Mordred.” 

(whenever he said something like this I had to hold in an earth-shattering screech)

-

“Okay, this son of a bitch has to die” -About Mordred, s5e12

-

“I am OBSESSED with her.” -about Gwen after she runs someone through with a sword in s5e12

(same)

-

Arthur: “Just... hold me.”

Dad: *just nods his head*

(I think he was simply acknowledging the queerness)

-

Arthur, during That scene in s5e13: I want to say something that I’ve never said to you before.

Dad: Ohh boy. 

-

His thoughts after the finale (he wrote an Official Statement for his “tumblr fandom,” including the hashtags at the end):

Well, watching Merlin was a much more satisfying experience than when my kids made me watch Glee with them. Although it was difficult at first to accept the way they bent time to accommodate Merlin and Arthur being contemporaries, I got over it because they succeeded in creating a relationship between two boys-to-men who wouldn't normally exist in each other's worlds. In actual Arthur lore, Merlin is old and wizened long before Arthur is even born. In fact, you remember in an early episode when Gaius references magic being necessary for Uther and his queen to produce a son? Well, in Arthur lore, that magic was cast by Merlin, and Merlin was present during Arthur's childhood. But ok, let's give the BBC some breathing room because they did a good job showing the generational transition from the failings of toxic masculinity (Uther's reign) to the superhuman potential of unapologetic bromance (Arthur's reign). In fact, how many times did I furrow my brow when Uther did something stupid or said something weenie just because he thought he was being strong, but he was actually being...alone. When it was Arthur's turn to do something stupid or say something weenie, he had a posse of good bros by his side to prop him up.

Even in S5E3 when Arthur gets the opportunity to see the ghost of his father and be like, "Bruh, I miss you," Uther instead treats Arthur like shit and belittles him for not being a dick to his people. Respect through fear, I believe is what the ghost Uther was preaching. But that strategy was pretty much self-defeating, given that respect through fear got Uther prematurely dead. Luckily Arthur didn't give it too much thought and decided, "Yeah, nah, I'd rather hug my droogies and marry a servant woman and be respected for doing the right thing, so biyee douchebag." In fact I'm assuming the writers created this post-mortem meeting not as merely another display of magic, but as a tangible means of showing Arthur's wrestling match with his own conscience. Even the playful and boyish banter between Arthur and Merlin (and the way they gaze at each other adoringly) is an example of Arthur's determination to part with toxic masculinity, especially when he gives Merlin the opportunity to be right sometimes without getting his chainmail hoodie in a bunch.

  This could absolutely be a lesson to voters the world over, who have the power to put real leaders in office but choose crusty old assholes instead of fresh, young minds and hearts. All the Uthers in the world are giving AOC and Sanna Marin shit for dancing. Can you believe we actually live in an era when our leaders get chided for dancing? For fucking dancing! Meanwhile AOC and Sanna Marin are attracting loyal followers in New York and Denmark, who would follow them to the ends of Camelot, while the same old self-serving ancient curmudgeons who keep getting elected are busy pulling Agravaine after Agravaine out of their bungholes. Perhaps I digress.

  Their parting from lore that is a little less acceptable is what they chose to do with Lancelot. Love triangle with Gwen and Arthur, yes, but Lancelot's BBC fate was less than satisfying. There are many tellings of how Lancelot dies, both with and because of Gwen, but the BBC opted against putting Arthur's best knight at the roundtable through most of this series. How fascinating. And weird.

Anyway, the end: Avoiding spoilers, I'd say the series ended appropriately. My 20-year-old daughter is traumatized by the ending, but I know enough about Arthur lore to know that the end is appropriate and loyal to legend. Camelot enters a new era, Merlin finally gets the respect he deserves, and a strong woman rises to power (I hope she dances). Satisfying. My parting thought: Walking away from this series, I've discovered a new career aspiration. I don't need to be king of anything, but I really want a job that allows me to say, "Ready the men, we ride at first light" without getting bullied. I mean, that's just really damn cool.

Thanks for all of your comments and responses. It's been fun.

ok so grrm has quite a few canon lgbt characters and a vast majority of them are extremely well done, both in terms of properly and respectfully representing lgbt characters and also just as like. characters in general. however, a LOT of his non-canon lgbt characters come across VERY strongly as lgbt in such an interesting and nuanced way that i’ve noticed largely only other lgbt people pick up on immediately.

we have instances of comphet shown by sansa (please read this amazing meta by @jeynearrynofthevale because everything i could say about lesbian sansa she brings up in this meta)

jaime thinking back on characters such as arthur dayne, ned stark, and brynden tully in ways that would have been interpreted as lovelorn by the reddit/forum crowds had they been about women

cersei struggling with sexuality and gender dysphoria, compiled wonderfully in this meta by @translannisters

jon’s feelings of otherness from his siblings and his desperation to belong - and of course “this is what a king should look like”, his thoughts on satin, and the now famous “boy, pet, whore”

stannis’ distaste for sex with selyse (you can read this as him being asexual or gay or both!)

alleras being non-binary in the citadel

being GNC doesn’t make you lgbt, but both arya and brienne’s experiences with conforming to the gender binary can be read as them being non-binary (and i do believe both of them are no binary)

there’s also the identity arcs that a majority of characters go through that reflect heavily on the experience of a majority of lgbt youth. questions like “who am i?” and “do i belong here?” are extremely common among lgbt youth figuring themselves out, and those questions are scattered thoroughly and with tact throughout the arcs of characters like theon, sansa, arya, jon, jaime, brienne, dany, and more that i’ve probably forgotten to mention.

all of these are things that come off almost immediately to lgbt readers, but can fly over the heads of cishet readers. it’s so interesting to me that a lot of these characters come across as repressed lgbt individuals in such an accurate and nuanced way that it’s often only visible to lgbt people who have experienced similar things. i’m almost entirely sure it’s unintentional as well, which is...something, but i’m not totally sure what to make of it.

basically lgbt (canon or not) asoiaf characters my beloveds ❤️

[lilacandladybugs]

You asked for God asks- I love seeing your posts because it’s helpful to me to see that you CAN reconcile religion with basically liberal beliefs. If you had to say, what’s your best advice in finding kind of the truth in the Bible? Like if you’re having trouble reconciling something you believe with the Bible, say gay marriage for example, how have you gone about that?

wait ok this gives me the opportunity to talk about something i've recently discovered. i went to a conference type thing recently and one of the speakers was very conservative and by the things that he was saying and talking about i finally realized something, he couldn't tell the difference between politics and God. like he seemed to believe that /to be a christian/ is to be republican and to be a republican is to be a christian. they were talking about liberals stripping america of its christian values and the attacks on God, and i was just like,, guys. Politicians are not going to save you. They aren't going to die for you, their blood isn't going to wash away your sins. There is no person who can die for the sins of america, who can bridge the gap between us and God. Republican doesn't mean God fearer and Democrat doesn't mean God hater.

My grandpa was one of the most God fearing people I ever knew and he voted liberal his whole life, cared about homeless people, sick people, socially ostracized people, and he believed voting Democrat was the best way of expressing those feelings. He wasn't any less of a Christian for that.

i dont think republicans are the only ones guilty of this like idolization of their political party but i think when you said my posts made you realize you can be Christian and liberal at the same time kind of surprised me bc i knew that conservatives think of it as very “us v. them” but i didn't realize liberals sometimes thought of themselves as religious outsiders for it.

as for finding truth in the Bible... ok i know gay marriage is /not/ just political so maybe it is a bad example, but for anything that you're coming at from a certain perspective mostly because of politics, maybe take a step back from it for a moment and make sure that you aren't doing the same thing that conservatives tend to do you know? i think everyone has the potential to think that their political ideology comes first and then God comes second. that's how i think republicans (sometimes) can come to this idea that we shouldn't protect or house poor people, bc they don't go to God first.

i think our worldview shouldn't be conservative or liberal first, it should be God fearing first. Galatians 3:28 says, "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

the reason for this goes back to why i’m a christian in the first place. to give a synopsis, christianity is important to me because it provides grounding for everything else that exists. Why can we trust logic? God created the world to be logical. Why is justice important? God is just.  That would take a lot of words to fully explain but if you’re interested in a longer version here’s an article written by atheist professor of law at Yale, Dr. Arthur Leff who wrote “Unspeakable Ethics, Unnatural Law.” he explains the importance of moral grounding. i also try to explain it in this post (x)

but if God is the root of all morality, then he is the one who should be teaching us about what we should do and say, so i go to God and then i form my opinions about things after that. i do not reconcile my opinions with my relationship with God, God is what forms my opinions. my identity, morals, and viewpoint in general are fundamentally altered by my belief in him

now! ok! that makes your biblical interpretation, the way that you understand what God says, very important. what you do to understand the Bible in some ways is to first identify what type of book you are reading. 

1) Who was the audience? 

It is different if you are reading a book that was intended for people of a specific time period, or of a specific nationality, than just for anyone. (that happens especially with prophecies). historical context is also important, especially for the law (thats a long story but a short version is that they i think weren’t supposed to eat anything that had a lizard fall into it, which is a salmonilla thing)

2) What was the point of the book?

Proverbs is a book of general wisdom, Acts is a book of history, Romans is a book of teaching. Proverbs then is going to have general truths, but not everything will always pan out that way (Ecclesiastes is the book of exceptions). History just tells us what happened, it doesn’t really explain it a whole lot. So when we are trying to understand /why/ something was said, we go to a book that was written to be instructional. 

Id also say for any given question it’s good to start by praying and asking God to reveal himself to you :) he wants to participate. i also recommend reading some commentaries and other translations as that can be helpful.

Some general advice from a different post:

1. Who does God say that he is?

2. Who does he say that I am?

3. Do I believe it?

God is good, holy, just, wise, beyond our comprehension, creates love by existing, he is our savior, redeemer, counselor.

We are made in the image of God, given the ability to communicate with him, loved, blameless in Christ, listened to, cared for, understood more deeply than we can imagine.

Obviously this doesn’t answer every single question, but it brings me peace about everything. It is going to be okay, one way or another. You are secure in your identity in Christ. God cares for people more than you do, he can protect them better than you, you don’t have to be in control. There is no one above him, and that is comforting if he is who he says he is.

After this, pray, check your answers against the Bible, read some commentaries, talk to your pastor. Sometimes we don’t know the answers, maybe he just hasn’t talked about it in the Bible, or maybe people aren’t quite sure on the interpretation of some passages. In those cases we resort back to who God is, and we just have to try our best to live by those two truths. God is worthy, we are loved.

let me know if that was too vague i know i got a little bit distracted. but that is generally how i go about things! i wish you the best anon and i hope that you continue to learn more about God :)

Also w Marc being unable to act, it’s also after he starts turning Layla against him and it’s just the same and he just can’t he can’t you can see a shot of his face that almost looks identical to the trial

It’s like a silent panic attack

[misskittysmagicportal]

can i request something to do with the thing about vincent having tics while giving oral or just vincent giving oral general i love the way you write things

I Think We're Alone Now

(Vincent Rhodes x Fem!Reader)

Warnings: language, talk of mental health, fem!receiving oral

A/N: With the pandemic keeping you and Vincent apart, he was glad that being alone didn't mean being lonely.

Vincent Rhodes didn't tic as bad or as much in his thirties. He wasn't cured. He didn't take medicine that made them magically go away. He took meds for his anxiety, and the “cure” was still going to therapy with Dr Rose. He didn't go daily or weekly or even monthly anymore. He managed every other month. Sometimes, perhaps, every three to four months. Yet it took twenty-five to finally accept a cliche: Tourette's wasn't Vincent, Vincent simply HAD Tourette's.

Don't worry though, cunt is still his favorite word.

Vincent also did all the things he told Marie he wanted to do. He finished school and went to college online. He found himself rather good at computers and a job that required the bare minimum of human interaction. His Tourette's was under control, but his social anxiety never seemed to be. We digress!

He had a job, and a place to call home that wasn't a treatment facility or a hoarder’s house bogged down by sadness and alcoholism. Vincent didn't find it shameful that his father bought him a condo. He and his roommate had an agreement to pay utilities and work on the re-election campaign.

Vincent finally had a dog. A dog he had to fight for because his roommate had.. Rituals. Rituals that also weren't as bad as they used to be thanks to the same therapy and right medication. Just like you can't get rid of Tourette's, Vincent couldn't get rid of Alex either. That was his first, and really only, friend. As tumultuous as they started out, if you survive a road trip with two neurodivergents, you're pretty much bonded for life. Alex was sometimes more work than their dog.

Vincent and Alex did things in their late twenties and early thirties they never thought they'd do. They went out. They dated around. They had awkward sex and one night stands that the two of them could finally laugh about. Vincent could hide, or save his tics from popping up during his dates. He could even manage to hold them off when he had sex. He was relaxed and focused on the woman beneath or above him.

But then he would spasm, or twist and pop his mouth. He would unintentionally squeal or swear, call her names or flip her off. Instead of understanding Vincent, or talking to him, whoever the girl of the moment was would leave and never come back. Fuck her, Vincent would think. I can't help that I have Tourette’s; she can help being an asshole.

-----

There could not have been a worse time in anyone’s life for you to meet quite possibly the single hottest guy in your neighborhood. At least, you thought he was in your neighborhood. You kept running into each other at various stores to the point you found yourself quoting an old movie from college.

“Are you stalking me?” You boldly questioned him one afternoon as he pondered Mcintosh versus Fiji apples. “Because that would be super.”

The man jumped. Then to your shock, he spasmed almost violently. His neck twisted to the left as his hand held on to his chin and yelled out, “Brown haired cunt! Grass licking big tits.”

You laughed. It wasn't malicious or in jest. You were nervous and stunned. Still you replied, “Normally a guy has to date me for a while before he calls me a cunt. Now as for grass licking? That was only once, but I was high and we were playing truth or dare.”

He stared at you, mouth agape. A violent spasm rocked his body again like an aftershock. It caused him to excessively blow a dark curl back from his forehead several times before his body relaxed and he appeared to sink in on himself. Embarrassed. A pink hue spread along his cheeks and angled jaw as he gazed at the apples again with large green eyes.

“You ok? I wouldn't say I've got big tits. They're more like medium sized. Unless you were talking about the melons.” You held up two cantaloupe in front of your chest. “I’m y/n”

Again with the mouth open staring. Then he came to, “Vincent. I've never had someone react to Arthur that way.”

“I'm from New York. That was a Saturday night in the village. Who’s Arthur?” You looked around. “Are you being held hostage? Scream cunt for yes. Vagina for no.”

Vincent laughed. It was almost a giggle that you weren't sure was a laugh or his thing. “Arthur is my Tourette's. He's the clown who shits in between my thoughts. My tics. You scared the piss out of him.”

“You named your Tourette's? You can't do that, they never go away once you name them.”

Vincent rolled his eyes, “ DAMMIT! I'll take away his bowl of food and dog bed too. Maybe I'll finally be cured!”

You didn't want him to think you felt something was wrong with him. “Mostly with all of this, I meant I keep seeing you around. Thought I'd say hi.”

“How about we exchange phone numbers, and you can say hello more often?” Vincent cocked an eyebrow.

“Bold of you to assume calling me a cunt is flirting! But you got it out of the way now instead of down the line. Give me your phone.”

He obliged and you put your number in. As you handed it back you joked, “Should've told me you had a much sexier friend.” You indicated Alex on the phone’s wallpaper.

“He's gay.”

“Damn! Lucky for men. Anyways, I work most days. Don't know how long with everything happening out there. Call me sometime?”

Vincent twitched and wolf whistled. He shook his head and pinched the bridge of his nose, but promised he would nonetheless. But then pandemic happened, so all you had for the next six months was your phone

-----

You met Alex and learned his rituals and empathized with his panic to follow or abide by heath guidance. His OCD aggravated by everything going on. Vincent couldn't even go for a run without his friend completely freaking out, so he just didn't. Their balcony was it for fresh air.

You took tours of each other's apartments. Had dinners and breakfasts together. Shared what books you were reading and watched movies together. Vincent teased you about your fat, lazy cat and you did likewise over his ten pound shih tzu. Although, you admitted, it was because she got to share a bed with him.

Somehow in month 5 you were roped into a three way phone call with his dad. Senator Rhodes and Vincent seemed to have an easy relationship, but you were filled in later that it was anything but for a very long time. So you turned the tables one night, and introduced him to your entire family.

Forgetting about his Tourette's, because you had really grown used to it all. To the tics, the whistles and excessive use of the word cunt (Pandemic drinking game, Vincent’s idea) that his biggest episode since you met stunned not only you but your clan. Vincent had buried his face, you were terrified of your mistake. But you got it from somewhere.

“Sure you ain't from Brooklyn, kid?!” Thank Christ for meathead brothers.

“This is dating right?” Vincent asked after their dinner. “Pandemic, COVID, for now dating. Even though,” he paused to twist his neck, “One of my coworkers has uh, dick appointments all the time?” He snapped a finger several times and shouted something about a whore and syphilis.

“Hey! Tell Arthur to fuck off. Sexual liberation. She's not a whore, she's in her twenties!” Vincent laughed. “Are you nervous about something? Usually the bedtime part of our phone calls are the least tic-ish.”

“Wanna have sex?” He was straightforward.

“Right now? Facetime sex?” You scrunch your nose but more to be cute than creeped out.

“Here. Alex is asleep. Come over? We've been isolated for months.”

“God, I love you.”

“What?” Vincent laughed. “Are you sure about that?”

“I'll be there in twenty minutes.”

-----

Vincent opened the door and implored you to take your shoes off at the door. You expected nothing less as you complied and followed him in the stillness of the apartment to his bedroom.

The moment the door was shut, Vincent was on you before you could even adjust to the dark. Only street lamps from the neighborhood below showed through as his mouth consumed yours.

Your tongues at war with each other as the two of you scrambled to undress. Your lips broke apart long enough to throw shirts over heads and step out of flannel pants or yoga pants. Then they crashed together again as Vincent let his hands splay out the length of your back and shoulders.

Your one hand ensnared by his messy hair. The other under the waistband of his boxers and over his ass. You drew his body to yours to melt into. His erection strained and throbbed against your hip as you hungrily pushed your tongue as far inside him as you could.

The both of you eager like teenagers shot with adrenaline. Anxious and hoping Alex caught you as Vincent twitched and his shoulders shrugged up to his ears. His fingers fumbled with your bra made worse by his tics. Tics that frustrated only him; you reached and undid it for him. Your breasts were free for him to look at.

Vincent attempted to choke back his words but failed. “Tit fucker,” a sour look on his face as his eye involuntarily clamped shut, “huge nipples.” He swallowed his lips, mortified.

“Hey!! They make up for yours being the tiniest nipples I have EVER seen on a dude.” You took Vincent’s hand. “We can slow down if you want. I don't know what's up, do you tic like this every time you have sex?”

The two of you laid side by side on his bed, hands traced over inches of bare skin. Vincent was silent for a while as he let his fingers trail over you, his lips not far behind.

“I don't. I'm usually too focused. The last time I loved someone, it fell apart immediately. It's making me anxious.”

You held his head to your body with a tenderness. “I loved you first, didn't I?”

His mouth made its way amongst your breasts as he gently laid you on your back. His lips warm on your stomach and hips that he exposed by tugging your panties down over your knees and off. Vincent laid down between them and almost nuzzled his nose in your soft pubic hair before his tongue dove inside of you.

Your hips rocketed up into his mouth as you grabbed the back of Vincent's head. He licked and sucked on your sex. Small tics caused him to push his tongue and lips in further than before. They closed in on your clit. His tongue attacked it with a lapping motion that you could only bend to, helpless.

Vincent was insatiable, his mouth in a frenzy. Your fingers caught up in the sheets as the sensation of his mouth on your clit spread along your body. Now your words were a shock as they came screaming out into the quiet of the bedroom.

“Tongue fuck me! Faster!”

Instead Vincent looked up at you with a grin, “I see Arthur came to visit.”
