modern arthur loves stealing merlin's clothes <3

(hc: merlin owns an obscene amount of wizard/magic merchandise because leon finds it hilarious and gifts merlin everything he can find)

Tired of remakes and sequels. Where is my movie about Nikola Tesla rising from the grave as a god and smiting everyone who has done him wrong or done it especially in his name?

The one bizarre thing to me about textiles is that warp-weighted weaving is at least 6500 years old, but our oldest knitted artifacts are only ~1000 years old, and crochet 200 years old. Even though you need less equipment to knit (two sticks) or crochet (one hook) compared to warp-weighted weaving (frame, loom weights, batting, heddles). Why the big gaps between these inventions? And why did each one appear and spread when it did?

#reblogging this bc I love textile history #and this is probably going to come into play in some of my medieval-ish fics lmao #Merlin and bg3 I’m looking at you #history #textiles #textile history

"And there was only one bed" Merthur be like:

- sleep back to back on the forest ground and Arthur is upset he's on the wrong side

- sleep head to toe, so Arthur can put his feet in Merlin's face

And those are CANON

I'm just saying, if there's a curse that runs along your family line and you don't tell your kids about it, how the hell are they supposed to go on a quest to stop it?

In 1988, ACT UP protested the FDA withholding HIV treatment due to requiring unethical double-blind studies of medication they already knew worked.

In 2024, trans activists protested promoters of an NHS-funded report requiring unethical double-blind studies of medication they already knew worked.

something so intensely heartbreaking about arthur finding out and saying 'I would know.' he is saying, no you're my best friend. you are the one i trust most, I feel I have known you my whole life. you would tell me. magic is evil and wrong and the worst things of the world and you are what's best of the world. you would have told me I would know

Merlin was caught doing magic at a time when Uther was still King. He’s in the dungeon now and awaiting his execution.

Arthur comes to him late in the evening expecting some answers but Merlin sees through Arthur’s tough demeanour that he’s confused, worried and scared, so it’s Merlin that tells him not to worry, that everything will be fine, that it is okay.

But Arthur only gets more agitated by Merlin’s calm behaviour:

Arthur: What am I supposed to tell your mother? Hunith?

Merlin: She’ll get a letter. That will explain everything.

Arthur: A letter? When did you had time to write a letter?

Merlin: I always write one preventively when I think it’s a close call. Then Gaius only has to send it.

Arthur: How… how many close calls have there been?

Merlin: A few.

Then Arthur storms off, at first randomly through the castle then he heads to the Court Physician and Merlin’s room. Gaius tries to stop him but the Prince of Camelot doesn’t take no for an answer, demanding the letters. It’s more than a few and Arthur opens and reads every single one about all the reckless times Merlin used magic for good. For him.

When he’s done processing it Arthur storms off again but this time straight to Morgana’s chambers.

She berates him for entering without even knocking, let alone permission.

Morgana: How dare you storming in here, don’t you have any manners??

Arthur: What are you planning?

Morgana: Excuse you, what?

Gwen awkwardly looks between them. Arthur looks at her as well.

Arthur: I know you are planning something to get him out. Merlin. What is it?

Morgana: Why would I tell you? If I were planning something. Hypothetically. Do you want to tell your father and get us executed too?

Arthur: So I can help you help him to get out!

Morgana: What?

Arthur: He wrote letters. To his mother. Every time he thought doing magic would get him killed. About all the things he did to save me. Save us. All of Camelot. Probably all of the five kingdoms and beyond as well.

Morgana: You read the letters to his mother?

Arthur: Not the point. There probably have been twice as many occasions he couldn’t write to his mother beforehand. Even he couldn’t see into the future, right?

Morgana: Would that be so bad? Seeing the Future?

Arthur: No, of course not. Maybe he can. I don’t know. Maybe he’s so calm down there because he’s already seen us breaking him out of there. So let’s do this.

Then, together they get him out.

I think what non trekkies don’t absorb about Spock from osmosis as a pop culture icon is that he’s SO Goth

that whole fantasy trope of werewolves and vampires hating each other pisses me off every time. it's like lgbt exclusionism you feel me. like I bet the real ones think it's dumb. they're out there going guys we're all children of the night. in their eyes we're ALL unholy abominations. bet there's posts on darkcreatures.net like vampires and werewolves are actually kissing on the lips rn

sorry for being weird, the loneliness and the need for a deeper, more meaningful human connection is eating me alive
