Charles has always left Edwin little notes slipped between the pages of his favorite books, in his science equipment, places he knows Edwin loves. Just silly things—post its that say “hi Edwin :)”. doodles of Edwin with his nose stuck in a book. reminders to stock up on wolfsbane. but.
Then, post canon, Edwin tentatively starts dating people. And it’s ridiculous, because Edwin’s right there, all the time, but Charles..misses him a bit. And his heads a mess, and he can’t sort out what the hell he’s feeling most of the time, and whenever he tries to say any of it out loud it comes out rubbish.
So. He writes down some of the shit he can’t say right, and because he’s a coward, hides them so he doesn’t have to see Edwin’s face when he reads them.
then Edwin starts writing back.
Neat lilac blue little envelopes appear in Charles coat pockets. In his bag. Once, in his shoe? Some nights, Edwin will clear his throat and mention something from a letter, offhand, like they’re just picking up conversation, and Charles can pretend they are. That they always have talked about the basement, the belt, the nameless fear that chokes him every time Edwin walks out the door with someone else on his arm.
Sometimes he can’t. The words get stuck in his throat. Edwin’s not mad, he’s maddeningly, stubbornly kind about it, which is worse.
Some nights they trade. A secret for a secret. Charles learns about the novels Edwin used to hide under his mattress, about all the lonely years before Charles got there. About Simon.
Meanwhile, Edwin is losing his mind, because Charles has accidentally stumbled onto what was a fucking courting ritual in his time. Love letters were something engaged couples treasured for years, kept and reread over and over. (Edwin does. keep them in a special box, will take one out and trace the words, tuck it in his breast pocket for courage).
Edwin would rather have to reattach a limb again than lose Charles trust, all the dark and beautiful things he shares with Edwin only. He knows—knows Charles doesn’t mean to make him fall more in love with him.

Imagine Merlin BBC being a romcom teenage series!!
Imagine the trailer be like:
"Prince Arthur was a regular prince"
*cut to show Arthur smiling and pretty*
Brave
*Arthur fighting against someone*
Charming
*Arthur flirting and/or smiling lovingly*
Responsable
*Arthur suffering with his duties*
And like most princes
...
A total prat.
*Arthur laughing out loud*
But some things might change
*Cut to Merlin arriving at Camelot*
When a certain young warlock
*Merlin doing magic*
Becomes his manservant
*Scene where Merlin is "rewarded" after saving him the first time*
Unwillingly
*Merlin and Arthur fighting over Merlin's chores scenes*
The once and future king
*Arthur with his armour all smiley*
And the greatest warlock to ever walk on earth
*Merlin with his eyes glowing gold*
Before those titles became official
*Scenes with both of them being stupid*
Merlin
Coming soon
#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#merlin#merthur#merlin x arthur#trailer#morgana#arthur#once and future king#greatest warlock to walk on earth#i have this idea in my head#i cannot get it out#someone please edit this#or maybe i will#saving this for later

#💙! mah's art#💙! daisy#not 100% sure if i like all of it but. im satisfied for now#maybe ill make some changes in the future but im so done with this design I don't even care rn lol#anyways#i can start on the daiggie new years drawing i was planning to make😋#mah: “i hate drawing on the computer>:[” *proceeds to draw on the computer*#twisted wonderland#twst#twst yuu#twst oc#yuu twisted wonderland#oc yuu#also i spent way too much time on this to not talk about my thought process#so buckle up#the details on the obi (im so sorry if that's not the name I'm fighting for my life) are meant to represent the night sky#bc midnight#and daisy was brought to twst by wishing upon a star#the other details of her furisode (again. fighting for my life) are ofc daisies and butterflies!#daisies are for obvious reasons#butterflies because they represent Daisy's journey of becoming her own person once she's freed from her step family#the dandelion on the hair is again for obvious reasons (Ruggie)#her shoes are light blue because i wanted to reference the glass slippers but she already has glass slippers on her dorm uniform#so i went with light blue to at least resemble the glass slippers

In your Spitfire AU, since Zuko is looking after Lu Ten II, what happened to Ursa?
Zuko is slightly older in the Spitfire AU. He was banished at fifteen, his head a little clearer and denial a little weaker than in canon. After his first look through the Air Temples, Zuko decides that if he can't find a myth, he might as well search for the next best thing.
Finding Ursa isn't easy, but in time he makes it to a secluded house in a near-forgotten part of the world. His mom is there, older and stronger and alive.
But she isn't alone.
And Zuko, as it turns out, didn't keep the best company during his search.
When Ursa is discovered and her secrets are laid bare for assassins (for Ozai) to find, she begs Zuko to take his little brother and run. She'll do anything it takes to protect her children, even if that means leaving them behind to keep a target off their back. Ursa diverts attention from them and allows Lu Ten's ancestry to be kept a secret. She orders Zuko not to follow her again, and disappears.
Zuko is left with a little three-year-old brother to raise and a mother he cannot hold onto.
#dema answers#atla#spitfire#Spitfire AU#prince zuko#atla ursa#Lu Ten II#The Ursa/Hakoda parallels are going to be insane in this one I swear#It's okay tho#It's absolutely intentional#(The other option was killing her. But I happen to find family conflict and abandonment issues way more compelling to write)#Luckily Zuko isn't alone. He's a mess of course—and raising the little brother you never knew you had isn't easy.#But he has Uncle and (once those loyal to his father have been taken care of) he also has his crew.#Look three years into the future and you've got a six-year-old Spitfire running around the ship and giving Zuko early gray hair#Ursa will be reunited with them in the future. I just don't know when would that happen yet.#Probably post-war#She returns to her children only to come face to face with their overprotective found family (aka the Gaang)#Their reunion would be quite messy at first but...it'll all be okay#They all love each other deeply. And sometimes love isn't enough. Sometimes there are things that you can't forgive or forget.#But Ursa did everything she did because she loved them. And Zuko knows that. Zuko understands that.#(He was forced to make the same decision in Ba Sing Se—giving yourself up and leaving the people you love behind so that they're safe)#(He understands)#But Lu Ten II doesn't#He doesn't remember Ursa. Not really. He knows of her what Zuko and Uncle tell him. But he doesn't remember ever having a mother.#(Tara is soft and warm and kind to him. She holds him and takes care of him and makes sure he's well-behaved. And he loves her.)#(Is that what makes a mother? Or is it the blood you share?)#Ursa isn't much like Tara. But she loves him dearly—there's a reason he has the name of someone who was so dear to her.#She is Lu Ten's mother. Zuko's mother. Uncle's sister.#And she isn't like Tara. But she loves him even if he can't remember her.#So maybe he can learn to love her back.

ever since I had a thought of them also putting Gideon in the tomb at the end, I have known no peace
not the same one on the ninth, just in similar stasis as Alecto and willingly, don't know why maybe some shenanigans so the sun won't collapsed
and not for good, that would be too unfair for her, but Harrow is a lyctor, she can wait for a hundred of years
#it's not the best outcome but at least there's some hope for the future#maybe Harrow can learn live for Gideon#the locked tomb#just thinking of Harrow putting her to sleep and Gideon keeps laughing it off like#'I don't need you withered here everyday just checking in once in a decade to wipe the drool from my face'#'and make sure I'm not sleeping in a weird poses#'and I'm also kicking in my sleep a lot'

@madatobiweek Day 4: Children // Vows
My original setting for Think of Me was after a bunch of clans had already moved into Konoha, and Tobirama was going to have a horde of children following him around as his self-proclaimed students including Uchiha Kagami, which catches Madara’s notice.
The plot has since shifted but I left minor things like Hiruzen’s monkey Shadow in as a random kid’s Shadow playing ninja at night :)
#senju tobirama#tobirama senju#uchiha madara#madara uchiha#madatobi#naruto#my art#sanskart (naruto)#shadow animal au#There’s maybe a minor spoiler for a future chapter but its not vital to the plot so eh you guys can have it#queuing for once#mdtb wk

Curtwen Week Day 6: Happy Ending
#I like to believe that there is a universe where they get to grow old together#just one#look once upon a time I read a fic that had me bawling my fuckin eyes out where they get to grow old together#I do want to say that I believe in personal growth and I think that Curt can 100% have a happy ending without Owen- where he can grow#away from that experience and where he can healthily cope with the trauma he ended up with#where he can find solace in something other than alcohol and where he can find it in himself to forge new relationships and build his#connections with people like Tatiana#etc etc#I just want to make it known that this is one of many happy endings that could happen#(amongst the several sad ones that I know also exist)#ALSO I wanted to draw the old men and I do what I want#but yeah something something if the universe is infinite /ref#maybe this is a universe where the banana incident never happened and they were able to retire together#ough#the curtwen feels are really getting me today#I adore them#also I used a new brush ive been having fun with this past week#doesn’t it look cool?#I really like drawing with it and I like how it looks so#we might be seeing more of this one in the future#although 6b is still my guy#damn y’know hypothetically- if Owen (depending on the au) and Curt lived to be in their 60s (at least) they would witness the first Pride#god can you imagine that?#At the very least Curt being around for stonewall and everything that came after that with queer rights#FUCK anyways#fun fact: a group of frogs is called an army#isn’t that cute#reminds me of that one person on TikTok that raised like a thousand frogs- they had a literal army of frogs#crazy#curtwen week

au where arthurs death only lasted like 20 mins bc merlin spent time setting up his little boat to send him out into the lake but before he could part with him, he gently kissed arthurs forehead and it was actually true loves kiss and they lived happily ever after
#yipeeeee!!!!#merthur#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#idk what to do about the rest of the mess#but thats not my problem#maybe they just keep up the rouse of arthurs death and merlin never returns to camelot#gwen is the once and future queen and leads camelot to glory and repeals the ban etc etc#merlin and arthur get to run away and live on a farm#like arthur always wanted

You know, I don't necessarily buy into the idea of "you die twice; once when your heart stops beating, and the second when you are forgotten" because I don't think we're truly forgotten.
Throughout history, we've found proof of people existing, well after their death, well after they've been forgotten by their community and time. Even if we do not have names for these people, we know they were alive. We touch their bones, and we internalize their lives. We learn how they lived through the stories we interpret from their bones, and then we tell others about them. They haven't been forgotten, and it's not unlikely that you won't be forgotten.
Why is it that we only "count" if we are immortalized in the history books, if we scar time to the point nothing would be the same if we were forgotten?
And, anyway, look at this cat, who died so long ago, but whose memory is still remembered:
#positivity#described images#image description in alt#death tw#this was partially to show off buffins because he's adorable <3#i always get so emotional looking at these old photos of animals just knowing they are physically not here anymore#but i am so grateful to have known they were physically alive once#and the same is said for humans#i cannot believe that we die ever in a permanent and true and final way#and maybe that is 'too hopeful' but i don't care🩷💛#we cannot predict the future and that includes if we will be forgotten. we never know

I’ve played ahead in game to moon 60 and I have SO much knowledge.. would you guys like a sneak peek of a future character with no context for funsies? I’ve been in the mood to design future characters so I think this would be fun :3c
#I’d just post the png of the character art with no info#though I could possibly be convinced to share the cat’s prefix.. possibly :3#to be quite honest there’s so many future cats it will be hard to choose which one to draw early hehe#so maybe I can do this more than once#we’ll see!#clangen#clan generator#warriors#warriors oc#warrior cats#cutieclan#foxy rambles
