Round One

Merlin: *passive aggressively acts like the perfect servant for the first time* Arthur: *holds sword up* Who are you and what have you done my shitty manservant?

fall from grace

Merthur really have it all huh. King and lionheart dynamic. Fucking hate at first sight then speedrun to trying to die for the other. Slow burn? Never heard of her. One of them wears gloves and one doesn't and I'm not even gonna bother to explain why that is top fucking tier. Lies and secrets that could bring about the doom of the kingdom. Obviously adore each other but will actually fucking die before saying it with actual words. The prince is a gigantic asshole who doesn't know how to show care or ask for attention like a person who had healthy emotional development as a child and oscillates between pulling pigtails and acting like an over-eager puppy or both at the same time. Domesticity levels previously unheard of. They canonically wear each other's clothes. One of them makes up words and the other promptly starts using them. Both are extremely into the other's specific brand of dumbassery. Their love language is fucking playing together. "I don't want you to change" fuck this fuck everything

Some people don't seem to realise that if not for Jiang Fengmian bringing Wei Wuxian to Lotus Pier, Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng would never have been friends (or friendly). I would even argue that Wei Wuxian would be nicer to Jin Zixuan than Jiang Cheng. Why? Because Jin Zixuan at least has some honour. A scene that illustrates this better than anything is the Xuanwu cave. Who went against the Wen to help Mianmian? Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji and Jin Zixuan! And how did Wei Wuxian react to that unexpected turn of events? He praised him! (Well, kinda)

Jin ZiXuan lifted his brows, “Is that enough? It wasn’t enough for people to be flesh shields for you, and now you want live humans to bleed for you to use as bait?!”

Wei WuXian found this somewhat surprising, So Jin ZiXuan really does have some nerve.

ExR. ch. 52 (original emphasis)

And what was Jiang Cheng doing? Trying to "reign" Wei Wuxian in so that he "doesn't stir up trouble". Why did he not go against the despicable Wens as well? Let me use his own words:

Jiang Cheng warned, “We aren’t even able to care for ourselves; how do we have the time to care about the trivialities of others?”

And Wei Wuxian's response:

Wei WuXian, “First, this isn’t a triviality. Second, things like this, somebody will have to care about them, sooner or later!”

ExR. ch. 52

And Wei Wuxian doesn't say this because they're talking about Lan Wangji and burning of Cloud Recesses. This is the fundamental difference between them. Jiang Cheng is too self-absorbed to care about others (unless they are related to him by blood), while Wei Wuxian wants to help everyone if he is able to, not because he "has a hero complex", but because that's the right thing to do.

People can be friends with others while having different ideas, but when you disagree on the core beliefs, friendship is hard to achieve.

On a scale from 1 to 10 how datable is lord eclipse?

Uhhh mixed reviews? :'D It's not that Lord Eclipse is totally against a partner but he doesn't like random organics and also are you really sure? You want to date him? You know what you're getting into?

I am going to tell you this because it has been huge for me.

I work in a public-facing job. sometimes people like to complain to me. sometimes people like to complain to me for a very, very long time. and for a long time, the best response I could come up with was a quick silent prayer: “help me, Jesus.” or if I wasn't completely overwhelmed in the moment, “help me to see You in this person, Jesus.”

and I did need help, and trying to see Jesus in the person in front of me was what I should have been doing. but the problem with that prayer was that it was often secretly “help me, Jesus (because this person is so incredibly annoying and wrong and I wish they would go away and I can’t take it anymore)” or “help me to see you in this person, Jesus (because I can’t at all because they’re really not acting like You)” or “help me, Jesus (because I am the victim here and You should feel sorry for me because I’m doing everything right”. and don’t get me wrong. those are honest prayers, even psalm-like in their way. but the problem becomes when I’m not really asking for help anymore. I don’t want help to bear it patiently and lovingly. I’m just looking for the correct and justified way to complain. it’s not “help me, Jesus, because everything’s awful and I’m feeling sorry for myself,” it’s really “help me, Jesus, because everything’s awful and I’m feeling sorry for myself.”

a couple weeks ago, for no reason except the grace of God, I switched strategies. now when someone is holding me hostage to their complaints, I just pray: “Jesus, I love you.” just that. there’s no hidden clause that’s bitching and moaning and secret un-Christian judgment. I muster up a tiny act of love that has nothing to do with the person in front of me; I flee from the moment I’m in that’s driving me crazy, and hide in Jesus for a split second. and paradoxically, that makes it much easier to love the person in front of me, and see Jesus in them, and make a genuine offering of my frustration.

DAY 31 - Overgrowth

You know how certain horned animals suffer from severe overgrowth and risk getting impaled by their own horns? I think Rher would have His fun cursing Per'kele with that hassle from time to time.

thinking about how IWTV loves to play with the theme of master and servant. thinking especially about that “yes, maître” and how armand’s first appearance onscreen, for almost the entire duration of s1, is in the role of louis’s “rashid.” thinking about how, when I first watched s1, it jarred me a little to see the authoritative, almost imperious way louis spoke to “rashid,” even after having endured to lestat’s tyranny himself, not to mention the tyranny of white people. it jarred me even more to realize that that had actually been armand—the ostensible love of his life—taking louis’s orders, bowing his head, saying things like, “I serve a god.” was that a strange and uncomfortable performance for the ancient leader of the paris coven? or was it perfectly natural for someone whose past means he defaults to the role of the subordinate, the submissive, the servant? is the relationship between the master louis and the servant rashid in fact the truest, rawest representation of the core dynamic between louis and armand?
