Sooooo, heart stopper is just teenage modern day Arthur and Merlin fanfic….. right!!?!?!?
they should invent water for men
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 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.
My mother also talked about periods to my brothers.
When I first got mine I had terrible cramps. Crippling cramps. I once was camping with my family and a few of my big brother’s friends when my period came. My cramps were so bad that my mom gave me a full pain killer ( I was 13 and before that she only gave me pills cut in half).
I literally laid down on my parents’ air mattress and cried in pain for an hour before the pill kicked in.
My brothers friend came in to the big tent and I was just curled up and sobbing. Now, I was quite the tomboy and was known to rough house with my brothers and their friends and made sure I wasnt seen as just “a little girl.” So my brother’s friend was confused to see me openly weeping in the fetal position (seriously, these were the worst cramps I have had in my life. My vision went white). He asked what was wrong with me.
My big brother stood up immediately and suggested a nice long hike. During this hike I am sure he had a pretty awkward conversation with his friend explaining menstrual cramps, because when they got back the pain pill had (mostly) kicked in and I was sitting up at a table when my brother’s friend sheepishly asked me if I was feeling better. I said I was better, and he said good.
When we made s'mores that night my brother and his friend kept me well supplied with chocolate.
Making sure sons know as much about periods and menstruation as daughters makes them better brothers, better sons better fathers, and better men. A man that understands a period will not lightly accuse a woman of “being on her period” if the woman is in an argument.

she’s so cute!!
Another try at my fem merlin since my style has changed a bit. This time with a closer study of Colin Morgan's facial features. Can't decide what hair she would have but i think this shorter style would be good towards the beginning of the series and it grows out over time. Maybe she got something in it and had to cut it off?
Also really tried to think up a distinct sillhoutte for her that would be distinctive from Morgana and Gwen but still fit the shows medieval-ish aesthetic. Still cant decide how to encorporate the neckercheif in a way that still looks cute and not like shes a cowboy....
actual diary entry from when i was in 5th grade oh my god
i also keep a bag of chopped onion in the freezer, but i wouldn’t make fucking risotto
I’ve noticed lately that it’s often Americans who leave tags like “I don’t even care if it’s made up” on posts I make that are not particularly unbelievable, but are pretty specific to my way of life or corner of the world (like the one about the cheese vendor). It reminds me of that tweet that was circulating, that said Americans have a “medieval peasant scale of worldview”—I mean, if you don’t want to be perceived this way by the rest of the world maybe don’t go around social media saying that if a cultural concept or way of life sounds unfamiliar it must be made up?
It’s the imbalance that’s annoying, because like—when I mentioned having no mobile network around here I had people giving me info about Verizon to fix my problem. I post some rural pic and someone says it must be somewhere in the Midwest because the Southwest doesn’t look like this. My post about my postwoman has thousands of Americans assuming it’s about the USPS. On my post about my architect there’s someone saying “it’s because architecture is an impacted major” and other irrelevant stuff about how architecture is taught in the US. This kind of thing happens so so so often and I’m expected to be familiar with the concepts of Verizon and the Midwest and impacted majors and the USPS and meanwhile I make a post about my daily life and Americans in the notes are debating like “dunno if real. it sounds made up”
Going online for the rest of the world means having to keep in mind an insane amount of hyperspecific trivia about American culture while going online for Americans means having to keep in mind that the rest of the world really exists I guess
what about us, the persons who don’t speak english natively, but nor are from europa? would it be well if we speak and write in the break down language, or do we have to add the accent USA citizens associate with our own nationalities?
have you considered that perhaps people from the us/canada assume you are one of them because your posts are written in english that is indistinguishable from that of a native english speaker from the us/canada
I’m going to unionise with all non-native English speakers on tumblr and we’re going to start writing our posts with heavy cartoonish German or Russian or Portuguese or French accents and you will regret this message so much
quiet anxiety but not enough to stand up and do the thing

Arthur: We both look very handsome tonight. Merlin: You know, if you'd just said that I looked handsome, I would have said, "So do you." Arthur: I couldn't take that chance.

charlie spring is a MASSIVE cavetown fan
we should start oppressing people who have a good sense of direction
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
