sorry i unpacked all my trauma do you still wanna kiss

i once read a fic where merlin was dating freya and then stuff happened and arthur dated merlin and freya dated arthur and it was amazing because they all each have two hands

what if freya had lived and merlin had figured out a way to get rid of her curse? she lives in camelot with merlin and they’re openly together?

when arthur finds out, he’s sad and frustrated but doesn’t know why. it takes a long time to figure out but he realizes he’s in love with merlin. so either;

a) freya dies somehow, arthur helps merlin through the grief and merlin falls in love with him and confesses

b) arthur tells merlin, says he doesn’t expect anything cause he knows merlin is happy with freya but he wanted him to know, merlin cuts him off by kissing him and saying he’s been in love with arthur from the beginning but never thought he’d have a chance so freya was the next best cause he loved her platonically, he then breaks up with freya but they’re still friends and everyone just chills

c) arthur tells merlin, says he doesn’t expect anything cause he knows merlin is happy with freya but wanted him to know, merlin tells him that he and freya broke up a fortnight ago cause merlin realized he loved arthur, they kiss and live happily ever after

d) arthur’s content to pine from afar forever but merlin goes to him and tells arthur he broke up with freya because he realized he’s in love with arthur, arthur confesses, they kiss and live happily ever after

I come from a long line of people with something wrong with them

“Those poor boys”

“She deserves to be punished too.”

“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”

“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”

“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”

no exaggeration, men peaked with gwaine from bbc merlin. roguishly handsome, no one got dangerously dehydrated during filming which is good for health and also means he avoids the ‘everyone is beautiful and no one is horny’ pit, excellent sense of humour, staunch moral code, disdainful of the concept of nobility/the bourgeoisie, and—to quote everyone’s favourite serving-girl-turned-queen—“knows when to give up” if a lady isn’t interested killing him off was a goddamn CRIME

I STILL think it was a missed opportunity to have the sorcerers not have, like, gold blood. Or at least it turns/shimmers gold when a spell is cast. Like. Imagine. Merlins got a bloody nose and a hole in his gut, but instead of being red all the blood glistens like a god damn oil spill. That would've been sick, and also wouldve exacerbated Merlin's otherness/fear of being inhuman in the sexiest way possible. We were robbed

I feel like people often confused kindness with innocence. They are not the same thing. To be innocent would mean to be unaware of the cruelty of the world; to be kind means to be aware of said cruelty and make a conscious effort to not be a part of it.

rant that no one asked for!!!

“no plan” from “wasteland, baby!” by hozier is SO GOOD. that shit changed my life like-

nihilism has been a top trend among my generation(gen z), and honestly it’s no shock. we were born into a burning world(both literally and figuratively!!) where trying to pursue our dreams means giving up EVERYTHING. money, time, relationships, living life. of course, this isn’t to say previous generations didn’t have to make sacrifices, it’s that gen z basically has to choose between following their dreams and being able to survive.

and then there’s the end of the universe, which will likely be a heat death. where the universe will have reached its maximum state of entropy and all hot things(or things with more energy) move to colder places(or places with less energy). and then, everything will be dark again; a parallel to how our universe was born.

and hozier illiterates both of these ideas of nihilism and the death of the universe beautifully, saying “everything will end anyways, and we’re so lucky to be here right now, so who cares?” for me, it’s an oddly hopeful thing, knowing that i will not be remembered at the end of the universe, so why care? as hozier says “there will be darkness again.”

and of course, he has amazing political/religious commentary. a few lines(i.e., “there’s no kingdom to come;” “there’s no hands on the reigns”) make direct jabs at religion- mostly christianity as we se sin other hozier songs like “take me to church” but that’s for another day!!

in all, this is one of the most underrated hozier songs and that is a CRIME. so listen to it right now, listen to the lyrics and just vibe man.
