nesta getting gwydion after amren hammered on and on about how powerful that sword would make rhys is something that is very funny to me

Baby shark Andrew was cranky and Aaron said “okay it’s nap time”

Shark facts and lore/worldbuilding under the cut

So shark mers can’t actually stop moving for long periods of time but baby mers aren’t born with the ability to swim while sleeping. So they sleep on various pod mates or really anyone that will carry them. Being steadied like this is important for their development since it teaches them to sleep on their own as the get older.

Andrew was separated from his pod/school not too long after birth, and the only reason he made it past the infancy and toddler stages was the kindness of other mers. Other pods of sharks and whales, or mothers with their own children, or a very kind lone gray whale carried him around and took care of him when they found him, for as long as he would let them. Until he got spooked or upset and swam off again. Because of the lack of consistency in his care and the countless times he nearly suffocated in his sleep, Andrew to this day has a harder time sleeping on his own than most grown mers, not for lack of trying. Luckily, once he’s reunited with Aaron and a manta ray Nicky that Aaron tells him is essentially an adopted cousin, it doesn’t take long for Aaron to realize why Andrew is so tired all the time. It’s no harder for him to pull Andrew around on his back now than it was when they were little. And while they’re there, Aaron realizes that yeah, it is kind of nice to have someone he can sleep on, too. Even if he doesn’t really need it. (Nicky offers to piggyback the twins but he is far too smooth and slippery. Which doesn’t seem to be as much of an issue when Andrew takes little power naps on Neil but shh.)

Im sure it’s not uncommon for adult mers to sleep on each other at any age, but if anyone questions why Andrew is always sleeping on Aaron, Aaron gives them a death glare and makes sure Andrew never hears their stupid questions.

something something hornigold telling ed he wants to be referred to as “just ben” ie dropping the legendary status that is his title because in ed’s subconscious he wants nothing more than to drop “the kraken” and “blackbeard” and be “just ed” something something

Whenever Taylor’s band or dancers make a gushy post about working with her I just go

I think I’m going to cry

i don’t think we talk enough about alex’s little smile in the background as henry talks about his dreams of who he would be in the world.

this has been me for awhile

My favourite thing is when Arthur clangs his sword gently with Merlin’s, during conversation.

They do it in 2x13 but I know they do it a couple times, it’s so domestic.

For someone who is really uncomfortable by PDA irl, I go absolutely feral for these goofy little cryptids loving on each other

a special moment 🥺

Love is stored in watching the new members of the official discord for a small glam band have the same reaction to the bassist just casually chilling with the rest of us that you had when you joined last year.

tumblr seems like the appropriate place to say that i’m obsessed w/ the way adam larrson pats everyone who’s on the ice’s head when a goal is scored during the shift he’s on

Brynjolf: you were alone for how long?!

Cicero: let’s see, I’m 30 now so… 10 years?

Brynjolf: well, no wonder you started talking to yourself.

Cicero: Cicero doesn’t need to talk to himself anymore. I can talk to you now instead!

Brynjolf: … *gently takes his hand* talk to me all you’d like sweetheart.
