That jeweler seeing Kate and Anthony in the same room : YEAAAAH, I don't think I need to see more, the ring obviously is going to go on her finger, not the other girl. Duh. Is everyone else seeing that? No? Just me? Ok then. I'll just. Ship them on the side. Proceed with your drama.

Just watched Everything Everywhere All At Once, and hey, I was not expecting to start crying and experience all the feelings at the same time.

This film is hilariously silly, absurdly emotional and intensely smart.

THIS is how you do multiverse jumping, family feels, comedy, drama and action. This film has everything and it does it perfectly well.

I'm gonna need a minute to recover.

Made the mistake of going into my tags and selecting only the "Love" and "Pining" tags to see what'd come up, and now I'm feeling very yearning and Merthur-y because of bloody course most of my love and pining works are Merthur.

Gah. I'll be 90 and grey and semi-senile and I'll still be ranting about these two.

Mon billet n°1 en 2022

do you have any merthur fic recommendations that have happy endings?

Do I ever ! Strap on, I've got quite the list.

Tagged Angst With A Happy Ending :

Take A Letter, Merlin by Caledonia/@iamcaledonia (7870 words, Modern Era)

Arthur is an emotionally repressed workaholic who is unhappily married. Merlin is his loyal and competent personal assistant. One Monday, Merlin comes to work to find that, over the weekend, Arthur has dictated a letter for Merlin that is about to change both of their lives. A song fic inspired by the 1969 classic, 'Take A Letter, Maria' by R. B. Greaves.

Kiss Today Goodbye, by Cithara/@citharaposts (5337 words, Canon Era, Divergence from s02e13)

When Arthur regains consciousness in time to hear Merlin confront the dragon, his world is turned on its head by the revelations that follow.

Turning the Page, by @schweetheart and @queerofthedagger (19050 words, Canon Divergence, Epistolary)

Without intending to, Arthur pushes Merlin just one step too far. Now he's left without his manservant but a hundred questions, a world of hurt, and guilt that clings to him like a shadow. Well, and a notebook filled with drawings because apparently, Merlin can draw on top of being a sorcerer. No matter how often Arthur tells himself that he just wants to forget, he can't help but come back to the collection of sketches and notes, a chronicle of all that Merlin has done.

Maybe their story isn't quite over yet.

The Knights of the Table, by DrJackAndMissJo/@drjackandmissjo (9198 words, Modern Era, Food Critic and Chef AU)

'Can you even believe this guy?" Gwaine asked, offended and almost breathless as he popped himself on Percival’s counter. There was no need for any of the other men to ask who he was talking about. Everyone knew about the devilish creature that wrote the restaurant and food reviews on Camelot Weekly. “What makes you even think it’s a guy?” asked Lance as he took the newspaper from the Irish man, “I’m pretty sure that it is a demon sent straight from hell to torture all of us!”

Tagged Happy Ending :

Hope On A Tuesday Afternoon, by arsenicandsunshine (8985 words, Modern Era, Housemates, Idiots in Love, Getting Together)

Arthur likes his life. Why wouldn't he? Nice flat, all to himself, stable job. Friends. Yep, he's set all right. Or, he is until he ends up with an unexpected flatmate. Merlin certainly does have a knack for turning Arthur's life upside down.

a long, long day, by @oncefutureemrys (1237 words, Canon Era, Secret Relationship, baths and massages)

Merlin was beyond tired of it all. He just wanted one moment where… it could be just him. Just him and Arthur, just the two of them, without the rest of the world interfering. But alas, Merlin was no normal person and neither was Arthur, and the chances of them having a regular day were almost as likely as Uther deciding to stop hating magic. So, he walked into Arthur’s room, ready for more late night chores, a slight slump in his posture. To anyone else, it would seem as if he was perfectly fine, usual Merlin just slightly tired from a long day’s work. But Merlin knew it was a bit more than that. And so did Arthur, apparently, because when he stumbled in, he found the idiot sitting casually behind his desk, an air of amusement and playfulness surrounding him, a teasing grin forming on his stupid, stupid (handsome) face. Or: Merlin's had a long day, so Arthur takes care of him.

Suffering in Silence, by TheCourtSorcerer/@tcs-main (3205 words, Canon Divergence, Sir Leon-The-Long-Suffering, POV Leon)

He couldn’t take it anymore. He had to say something. He couldn’t keep silent anymore. Day in, day out… The constant borderline scandalous looks, the barely concealed innuendos, the incredibly unsubtle touches, all of it! He was going to lose his mind. How could two people be so blind?! So, that’s what led him to the tavern that night, across from Gwaine, a hint of regret tugging at his mind that he steadfastly ignored. “Okay… How do we get them together?”

Secrets & Lies, by LiGi/@little-ligi (13333 words, Canon Era, Divergence, Arthur Finds Out, Protective Arthur, Friends to Lovers)

Arthur had finally put his finger on it. The thing that had made Merlin stand out, the thing that had intrigued him about the boy ever since the first time he’d met him. The thing that was going to get him killed… Merlin had magic. Not only had it, but used it freely all the bloody time. It was only a matter of time before someone saw him do it, and then they’d report him to the king and Merlin would be dragged out into the courtyard and executed. Well, not if Arthur had anything to do about it. Mid series one, Arthur, for once not being totally oblivious, discovers that Merlin has magic. The problem is, having magic gets people killed and Arthur very much prefers Merlin alive. It turns out making sure nobody sees Merlin do magic is rather a full-time job however...

A Universe Which Freely Gives, by @psychotic-fangirl369 (26455 words, Post Canon, Reincarnation, Arthur Returns, Getting Together)

Arthur returns… but because of a series of unlikely events (and perhaps a bit of morose dragging of feet because he can't bring himself to believe the signals), Merlin misses the boat. By the time he makes it to the lake, signs of Arthur abound but Arthur is nowhere to be found. Magical tracking being less reliable than one might think, when Merlin finally does manage to find him Arthur is bizarrely well-adjusted, living in a flatshare in London with roommates who think he's batty but mostly harmless, and working an improbable job. Enter: Merlin, who Arthur absolutely is not expecting to still be alive.

So Where Are My Flowers?, by @tehfanglyfish (1365 words, Canon Era, Pining, Flowers, Magic Reveal)

A question asked as a joke leads to years of fresh flowers waiting for Arthur each morning until the one day he almost screws things up.

Balancing the Scale, by sunsetmoonrise (20528 words, 5+1, Canon Era Divergence, Slow Burn, Pining)

Five times Merlin didn't realise Arthur was protecting him, and the one time he did.

Alright, that's quite a lot already! These are the latest in my bookmarks, don't hesitate to ask me again if you want more!

Well, obviously I'm still talking about Merthur, always and forever. Also, note to self, you have got to stop talking about Eurovision so much. I compared with last year's nimbers, I've been less active this year. Less posts made, less posts reblogged, and still the same tags again and again (merlin, merthur, batfam, eurovision, doctor who, last year was about six of crows, this year is about star wars)...

24 and 44? <3

💜💜💜💜

All the hearts for you, my food critic.

24. What’s a trope that you’d like to never hear about as long as you live, let alone write?

Look, there's not a lot I shy away from, there really isn't. Even if I'm not particularly into it, I'll still give most things a chance if I see tags for the things I'm not a huge fan.

But it's got to be incest. I don't get it, and I can't get on board with it. And I'm talking like the very obvious sibling/sibling, parent/child, close family relations incest. The 'doing it because they want' and not 'this is here for specific purpose like trauma (or something similar)' type. And I mean, if you're a person who wants to write it or gets off on that, more power to you, I guess. I'm not one to judge on most things. As long as you're not hurting anyone physically or mentally in the real world, do what makes you happy, but I'll still never understand it.

44. Rant about something writing related.

Oh, good. Another rant. Just what everyone needs from me on no sleep and with words that make no sense and are pure chaos. yes

You know what, just for you, I'm going to rant about Google Docs (this is what happens when you call me a barbarian for using Word).

It's a nice concept, it really is. And I would love it if it worked the way it should. But it does not. (also, it relies heavily on internet connection, so if you lose that for any reason, you're sort of screwed, even working offline; that's a major flaw for me) If I want an Em Dash, tough luck to me I guess, at least the type I want, the elongated version that Word will automatically make so easily. And when you do make one, it connects it to the first word it follows. That's irritating.

You have to double space between paragraphs. Also irritating. And maybe there's a way to change this, but I don't know. I haven't looked and don't plan to. But on this subject, copying and pasting to AO3 leaves double gaps between paragraphs that you have to go back through and fix. No. Too much trouble. Just stop.

And the weird, random word suggestions where it squiggles underneath??? What is that? I know what I mean, Google, but thanks for taking sneak and telling me I should use skunk instead. Greatly appreciated. That blunder would have been so embarrassing. No no no. Word has nice, normal suggestions. You now what else it gives you? Synonyms on demand. Can only remember one word out of many because your brain has died? No problem! That little paper clip (and if someone asks me what i'm talking about, don't. i'm old. deal with it. i can't) has got me covered! Yes, another word for dark is night, thank you so much.

I could really just go on and on (and on and on and on), but I'll stop with these. Gah! (no wait! one more thing! it puts weird spaces between italics and punctuation. why??????? what is the purpose of this???? no, i don't want a space between my word and the period, thanks, but good on you for adding it once it's pasted somewhere else. ARGHGHGHG i am rage)

Send me something from this writer ask! (please don't make me rant again)

#fanfic writer asks #ask #answer #dani tag #that rant was aggressive #i hate google docs #i'd like to set it on fire and send it to sea to burn to bits

"Anakin would stop cuddling and sleeping with Obi-Wan when he was thirteen years old, after he had been told one too many times by Palpatine that he was strong, not a child. That Obi-Wan would not understand and he doesn’t want to a scared child to teach.

Ben never says a thing when Luke keeps coming to him, even past thirteen.

He treats every time like it will be the last.

In his mind, it is inevitable.

But Luke kept coming, keeps coming. Ben still doesn’t know but Luke had become incredibly intuitive and observant. He learned from the best.

Some nights, Luke doesn’t go to Ben for comfort. It is a cover. Some days, Luke goes to Ben to comfort."

#hello guess what #Anakin will get cuddles too #revolving suns #revolving suns au #palpacreep needs to die #he is the reason for such pain and tragedy and I cannot stand him #I think whether people like or dislike Anakin/his actions #we can all agree that Palpatine is a horrible person #gah now I'm ranting in the tags #I wanna stop ranting #just happy things #the only rants I will now do will be hating on palpatine #so there is that #obi-wan kenobi #obi wan kenobi #luke skywalker #protective skywalkers

This is like probably some of the least important stuff grand scheme and even small scheme but i kinda need to get some things down in words somewhere and out of my head....

Gender/presentation is a fuckin trip and this blog has been a fun way to explore modes that I used to relate to more like 5+years ago and sometimes still enjoy engaging in especially because it feels like "I can find joy in treating someone else the way I want to be treated when there's no one who will/who I trust to treat me that way"... But then because of that internal dynamic I get to stay just a little bit emotionally distant & "safe"....which is itself jarring and sometimes immensely dysphoric and just...idk

All this to say that despite all the stuff I've reblogged here, I really don't think I actually want to top ever again AND also idk when I'm gonna be able to trust someone/trust myself to trust someone to touch me/top me again (especially when that reluctance keeps being reinforced)

I'm caught in this cycle of touch starvation and complete physical contact revulsion but honestly the latter is great because it's prolly gonna be another couple months before I have to actually deal with it lmaoooo

#itt tag #in the middle of everything else some butch/femme post got me missing my ex and the ways we loved each other #the song on the album she wrote after we broke up about watching me get dressed and do my makeup #big ole sigh #on the other hand do ummm do not miss the manipulation threats and violent fantasies about me i thought i could ignore/heal with love or w/e #just like god fucking dammit i seriously underestimated how long term harmful that would end up being and im so angry and so sad #and like the weird guilt/anger i feel towards the way i became a worse partner by staying than if i had left the first time i felt unsafe #like maybe we both could have found our roads to healing so much faster #gah fuck I'm ranting I'm sorry this got so fucking deep and depressing n shit #quar is fucking getting to me and i still live in the apartment we were in together but like obvs alone now...#tw dv
