Finished Invincible in a week, and I still don’t understand the hate the fandom has toward Amber. Other than… y’know, blatant racism.

#it’s not even like she’s annoying or anything #she’s just blunt and don’t have time for bullshit #her gripes w/ Mark were completely valid #like he was a terrible boyfriend to her #you can’t constantly ghost someone and expect them to be chill about it #even if you are a superhero #also the fact that y’all can’t comprehend that she’s mad that he LIED to her the entire time #like???#imagine your s/o living a whole completely different life and hiding it from you #idk maybe I’m just weird but that shit would not fly #but anyways that doesn’t matter bc they got back together and are clearly very much in love 🥰🥰#I ship it #amber bennett #mark grayson #invincible #mark x amber

hi i made a tier list of how homophobic rezero characters are

hello in the spirit of valentine's day and the very welcoming community here on rezero tumblr i decided to make this with the help of my lovely mutuals.

#anyway heres some fun little explanations if youd like to read:#otto has. so much internalized shit going on i dont even know where to begin. not as severe as like subaru fr and def not in the same way a #whatevers happening with ferris but like by the time u get to arc 8 hes a total shitshow LJSLDKF #like ottos. transphobic. canonically. with natsumi schwartz. and then hes def got More going on bc his attachment style is soo....#wilhelm and heinkel i think would def be homophobic outside of reinhard/reinhard related things but its funnier to describe it like that ok #and either way the main target of their homophobia is gonna be reinhard LMAO #oni elders suck ok. theyd all be homophobic #rams got a strong case of comphet rn but when she doesnt have comphet shes chillin with subarus gf and having wlw mlm hostility with subaru #and otto. the entire judges your taste tier is all insane teen girls or frufoo and patrasche (who DEFINITELY judge otto and subarus taste)#frufoo patrasche are like that one reddit post about that one guys dog being homophobic after seeing their owner get topped in gay sex #also als in that tier bc al.#alcor is technically subaru but he gets to be a tier lower than subaru bc. hes also not technically subaru its very complicated but #at least he doesnt have the entire boy drama subaru has LSJDF #reids iconic line is the ones where he calls julisuba boyfriends u know. its extremely iconic.#a dear mutual of mine has informed me tivey is in lol ok while his triplet siblings wouldnt know what being gay is which LKJDSLFSD thats #fucking funny i had to do it #id argue satella is in lol ok bc she lets subaru do almost anything ok. this includes being terribly into men. she knows shes got his heart #either way. and also elsa dont care unless it affects how ur guts taste #rems reaction is gonna be lol ok unless its subaru coming out to her. then shes gonna have some Mixed Feelings #rezero #re:zero #i forgot to add but u could def argue garf knows what being gay is bc his two older brothers are just Like That #but also neither of his brothers would be caught dead explaining what being gay is to him

men who can't drive

best tropes

friends to lovers

men who can drive

love on purpose, love that's intentional, love that's not rotten work because it's you

#mie.txt #been watching two shows back to back where the female lead is not only insufferable but so is her choice in men #as are all the other side characters' boyfriends #its crazy to see just how terrible a man's influence on writing women is #bc it's not even in women its in how they take back men that are the worst that are bad for them #and how hes always forgiven and grows but she doesnt #im not usually a movie watcher either but ive been using them to time my studying and GOD male directors are the worst too?#its so strange to think about because yeah men as a class are so intentionally sinister when theyre in power #but also so blissfully unaware when theyre subject to the influence of those in power that they end up (accidentally?) gaslighting everyone #else around them #idk idk idk idk idk #idk boys in real life can be and are so cute when theyre in love #theyre so so so cute #so why is that so hard to translate on screen #or like... why the unwillingness to do so????#anyway...... hiiiiii im finished w my semester does anyone wanna talk about levi and gojo 😁😁

or funnier: maybe lucifer does apologize (poorly) to sam and castiel (this does not help anyone) (they do not want it) (he’s so proud of himself for making strides in his Redemption) but he doesn’t even talk to dean. and dean (<- problems man) brings it up resentfully, probably in front of cas and sam, and lucifer goes ‘:/ what did i even do to u, man. beat u up? that’s just ur day job, deal with it.’ and dean has to figure out how to articulate that actually, lucifer possessing sam or cas was a crime against dean and he deserves something for that, without sounding like he’s insane.

no, actually, thought about it for a minute. he would just say that outright without considering that it’s a wild thing to claim. and he’d then turn to the two of them like they’ll back him up about this. and you know what? they probably would. <3 what is wrong with this family. he’s still not getting even an apology from lucifer.

#the apologies are the most useless thing in the world they mean nothing. dean is just mad he was being ignored #and because lucifer is only doing this because he’s head over heels for mary and wants her to like him.#dean’s mommy issues have turned on and decided this is proof his mom doesn’t love him actually.#because her devil not-boyfriend isn’t begging for his forgiveness (note: he did not do that for sam or cas either. he just said ‘damn. sorry #i fucked u up. alright we’re good now.’ and left. because he is terrible.)#(dean voice) sam tell the devil how him possessing you hurt me. hurry up we don’t have all day.

my parents' getting together story is wild like straight out of a half-hearted fanfiction or perhaps a romantic comedy and then it was just immediately downhill from there bc they're both mentally ill but hey you know what at least i'm here to suffer through this mortal coil

#like they both were regulars at a bar in nashville #where my mom was trying to become a country singer and working as a waitress & my dad was in the army (gags)#so he was stationed nearby #& they both usually went to the bar on different days my mom w her sister and my dad w his friends #but they apparently had the same usual table #and went on the same day for once so they got into a fight about whose table it was #immediately started snarking #but then some skeevy guy was pestering my mom at the bar (she'd moved w my aunt) & my dad came over & pretended to be her boyfriend #they swapped numbers and they both THREW THEM AWAY WHEN THEY GOT HOME #but my aunt dug my dads number out of the trash #absolutely terrible. TERRIBLE. so many red flags there

The tiny cellar. The door slamming shut. The darkness. Gils claustrophobia. The DRAMA!

For the wildfire one please! ❤️

"Someone! Anyone, please!!"

Thena walked a little more briskly. It had reached her ears so quietly and muffled at first, but there was no mistaking it now. Someone needed help. "Hello?"

"Please, help me!"

She picked her pace up to a light jog, the scenery looking much more familiar now. She kept telling herself she wasn't coming back to Gil's cabin - again - she was just...in the area. Her perimeter routes had changed, that was all.

It wasn't that she missed the place, or the host.

"Someone!"

"Gil?" she called out, looking around for him. She couldn't figure out for the life of her where he was. She walked around the side of the cabin, but he wasn't by the wood pile, or chopping out front. He didn't seem to be inside, based on how she was hearing him.

"Please!"

"Gil, are you okay?!" she shouted back, her heart starting to beat faster. What the hell had happened to him? "Gil!"

"Help!!"

"Gilgamesh!" Thena ran around the other side of the house. There wasn't much over there except the storm cellar door and where the water connection was. He had showed her the water main so that she could help herself to the shower in case he was away and had shut it off.

The doors rattled, being pounded on from the inside.

"Please, please, please!"

"Gil!" Thena shouted back, rushing to pull them open. They weren't locked, but the wood had warped over the course of winter, and now were wedged together in just such a way that made them seem impossible to get open now that they were slotted together.

"Thena, please!"

She slammed her foot on one door and pulled on the other one, stumbling back as it finally cracked open. If she didn't know him so well, it might have been terrifying, seeing someone as large as Gil come tearing up and out of the cellar in that state.

"Thena!"

She tried not to fall over as Gil sank to his knees, wrapping his arms around her and pressing his face into her stomach. He was bawling like a baby, clearly having been hyperventilating in the cellar by himself. She huffed. "Gil."

"Thena, oh thank god, fuck, I-I thought-"

Thena tried a few times to try and pat his head - or something - without feeling weird about it. He was clinging to her like he'd faced down his worst nightmare, which perhaps he had. He wasn't being dramatic, or his big, sensitive self. He wasn't well. "It's okay, Gil."

He screamed into the material of her shirt, his whole body quaking. He was such a bear of a man but he truly seemed fragile, on the verge of crumbling. "I can't...I can't..."

Thena finally gave in, letting her hands fall over him as gently as she could manage. He flinched, and it only made her feel worse for him. But she rubbed his shoulder, ran her fingers through his hair. "I'm here, Gil. You're okay."

He took slower breaths, steadier with each slow inhale. He slowly sank lower until he couldn't even hold onto her anymore, seemingly ready to lie down on the forest floor.

"Gil, hey," she said gently, trying to have more than her usual charisma (lack thereof) with him. She knelt with him, holding his shoulders and making him look at her. "What happened?"

He groaned, his throat raw from screaming for however long he'd been in there. "I-I was checking on some stuff in the cellar. I always have the doors wide open, but they must have gotten blown over, or maybe something wandered by and closed them--I-I dunno."

"Okay," she nearly whispered, nodding and watching him closely. His eyes were bloodshot from crying, but his pupils were responsive. He was no longer gasping for air, his chest no longer heaving. She wouldn't be surprised if he was lightheaded. "It's over now."

He groaned again, rubbing his face. "Ugh, Thena...I'm sorry."

He was apologising?

"I didn't mean to freak out and," he blushed, typical Gil, "throw myself at you like that."

She tilted her head at him, and he looked truly ashamed and remorseful. "You never told me you're claustrophobic."

He shook his head, ruffling his own hair now. He looked like he'd been through hell. "Doesn't come up much, I guess. I don't exactly get put on cave duty that often."

Thena furrowed her brows. She would think that if his phobia was this severe that he wouldn't be put on cave search duty to begin with.

"Thanks for rescuing me," he smiled limply at her as she rocked back on her heels and flopped back on her butt across from him. "Sorry you had to come all this way to do it."

"I was," she shrugged, hoping she seemed casual, "passing by."

Whether he believed her or not, he chuckled and nodded, "well, you really saved me, so..."

Thena sighed, keeping an eye on him. It didn't feel right to just...leave him like this. She inhaled, poking him in the shoulder, "okay, hey, c'mon, get up."

He blinked at her as she pulled herself up and dusted off her grey jeans. "R-Right, you must have to-"

"Get inside, I'll make your disgusting leaf water for you." As soon as she said it she wondered if maybe she could see why she was known as a 'stone cold bitch' at the station.

Gil brightened like a dog being offered a treat. He looked up at her with those big brown eyes of his, "really?"

She turned away from him; he acted like she had asked him to marry her! All she offered was to make him some tea! "Today, Gilgamesh, before I change my mind!"

Maybe she could be a little nicer to the man whose life had flashed before his eyes in his own storm cellar.

But Gil picked himself up, hopping to fall in step beside her. He nudged her shoulder gently with his, "thanks."

She bit the inside of her cheek. He was making such a big deal about it. "Thank me if I make it right."

But even now, her growling did nothing to dissuade him from inviting her in. If anything, when she whipped the door open and stepped in ahead of him, he held the door open over her shoulder. Such a little gentleman (she rolled her eyes).

"Gil," she started while on her way to the kitchen.

"Yeah?" he asked, already kicking off his boots in favour of his sandals.

She lingered by the doorway between the kitchen and the main body of the cabin. "Next time you need something in that cellar...just call me."

"Huh?"

She resisted the urge to press her forehead to the fridge door, feeling her face growing warm. "Just wait for me and I'll do it for you! You don't have to go down there again, is what I'm saying."

She continued on her way, digging out the kind of tea that was his favourite. She didn't know what kind it was, but she supposed she had smelled worse teas. And she knew how to put the kettle on. Maybe she would make herself a single mug of instant coffee with the boiling water while she was here.

"Thanks, Thena."

He was probably smiling that dumb smile that was kind of endearing. And she refused to go out there if he was going to catch her looking flustered over it. He could wait for his stupid leaf water.

This was why she was off search and rescue. Saving just one person made it feel worthwhile to do it again and again.

#Thenamesh Wildfire AU #Thank you for asking for this!#I didn't write this Gil with claustrophobia initially #but y'know what? why not #He has to have some weakness as a firefighter right?#otherwise he's too big and strong and nice and good with the public #there has to be some reason he's also stationed out in the middle of nowhere #Gil is truly terrified of being locked in pretty much anywhere #Thena starts walking a route tighter and tighter around the cabin #she even radios in and says that she's changing her perimeter deal with it #everyone's like uh...okay?#her boys radio her and are like everything good Thee?#how's your boyfriend doing?#Thena: HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND #protests too much maybe #meanwhile poor golden retriever Gil is just happy to be here #Thena makes truly terrible tea #she lets the water boil too long and scorches the delicate oolong leaves Gil loves #but that's okay he loves it anyway

every time i think of operation babe hunt i get so so nauseous and ill but it's not even solely bc of the obviously egregious things about it (although like. that certainly contributes) but rather bc i am reminded of the fact that aki canonically found aigis hot at one point in time

#squishy talks too much #squishy plays p3p #i replayed it last night for my femc playthrough and i was so glad they removed most of the terrible jokes at least #but i was hoping aki being “The Hamuko Boyfriend” in canon would mean they took him calling aigis hot out #but they did not.#the way he says “i agree” to junpei calling her hot haunts my nightmares #it was so random and ooc. it's honestly on the same level as when they made yusuke hit on women in the p5 beach scene #like sexuality hcs aside. why are these men who consistently have never cared about women before changed for a singular beach scene #and then it's never talked about again afterwards and it never happens again #it remains only a memory to haunt my nightmares #about aki <3

headcanon that jb used her puppy dog persuasion to be allowed to go to another school (despite being expelled from the old ones) and thats why shes so cocky about getting her way. jeremy (local pushover) has learnt from previous mistakes (giving her what she wants instantly and getting himself into several messes)

#yall ever wonder if he really just gives her that shit cuz he cares abt her #i mean #he went to the zoo even though he hated it #and he likes spending time with her #hes so sweet #a great but terrible boyfriend #i love him so much i love him so much i love him so much #jeremy king #xoxo droplets #xoxo droplets jeremy king #jeremy king xoxo droplets #jb #jb gbpatch #jb xoxo droplets #jb fanart #jeremy king fanart #xoxo droplets comic #xoxo droplets meme #jerebean

I feel like in some alternate universe where Jamie didn't come out at the press conference he just starts doing more and more signals that are less and less subtle to signal he's queer. Like he's wearing rainbow headbands. His nails are bi pride colors constantly. He exclusively uses a water bottle that says "IM GAY" during his morning sessions with Roy, hoping the paps will comment on it. Like he's out now but if ppl aren't gonna acknowledge it he's gonna be even more of a visual eyesore until they do.

Oh, for sure. Like he's already got his rainbow headband and bi colours headband and he's definitely still wearing them and he's still gonna be obvious about it on social media and in general so people can't ignore it

I can also 100% see him walking around in an "I put the bi in bitch" hat. I tried to put a picture but tumblr said fuck you and blocked the image for no reason so I guess no picture it is

He also makes a queer gc with Keeley and Colin and Trent just to send them those stupid intentionally cringy cursed meme pride shirts and try to talk them into getting the ones he sends for them because he thinks it's funny (and what he sends gets increasingly stupid and unlikely for them to actually wear the more they refuse). He expects Trent to be the first to refuse but instead Trent's the one that's just like sure to the first one and ends up getting it and wearing it one day to Jamie's great delight

(Roy is initially spared from this chaos when he's not out to the team yet so Jamie leaves him out of the gc even though everyone there has already figured him out but Jamie makes up for lost time being extra chaotic and annoying and intentionally pushing his luck once the team all knows)

Jamie's also gonna be an absolute menace about people claiming Keeley cheated on him and then even when they're both like we're literally both dating her shut the fuck up insisting they're just covering their asses or acting like poor them both getting roped along when they're both perfectly happy. Roy's gonna be involved in that though even though he's usually private about his personal shit but people are shitting on Keeley so theyr'e double power pulling receipts and making people look stupid, posting things with passive aggressive captions and things that are just flat out aggressive, and posting dumb jokes

Jamie's twitter and instagram are going to be primarily for fighting and passive aggressively establishing that theyr'e telling the truth while his tiktok has a video about that and then is just stupid jokes that also make their dynamic all that more obvious and publicly establishing that him and Roy are friends and don't hate each other (even as behind the scenes it becomes very different very soon after he starts this) and Roy gets dragged into this more willingly than Jamie's usual just making a tiktok around him and including him however he wants while Roy just glares at him

re: the joker post you reblogged, I always wondered personally if people's unwillingness to forgive him compared to other rogues is cuz he reminds people of their abusers (with his relationship with harley) I tend to find fandom is often less forgiving of behaviour that hits closer to home when compared to potentially worse but more abstract stuff. Like a character who hits their wife will get more hate than one who blows up a planet, bc the latter feels more fictional? Just my theory though

(The Joker post in question)

I think you're definitely right about that. Plenty of people hate Joker specifically because of Harley Quinn (or, predating Harley's conception as a character, because of his mutilation of Barbara Gordon in The Killing Joke-- which, though not considered sexual assault by the author Alan Moore, was definitely sexualized in the art by Brian Bolland). And honestly, given the way he's written as an exaggerated parody of an abusive misogynistic boyfriend in Harley's various solo series, it's completely understandable for anyone who reads those comics to want to never see him ever again, because his appearances are not fun to read!

But I think it's also true that people who are mainly fans of other male villains use him to make their own faves look better in comparison. Though it is funny to constantly see posts in character tags that are like "[insert supervillain here] hates Joker and could totally beat him up," because invariably the supervillain has a) been depicted as friendly with Joker in canon, and b) HAVE fought Joker but lost embarrassingly.

#joker #harley quinn #panel is from 'prelude to the wedding: harley quinn vs. joker'#which is just the premier example of how joker is portrayed by harley writers #because in canon an HOUR after he has this convo with harley. he goes and has the church fight with bruce and selina #and the difference in characterization between these two appearances is absolutely staggering #he is genuinely unrecognizable as the same character #anyway there is definitely something to be said about how btas has permanently added 'abusive boyfriend' to joker's character #and that batman media has sooooooo much trouble with figuring out how much that has to factor into any given portrayal #i think the most transparent struggle with that is on The Harley Quinn Show #where joker goes from being an abusive misogynistic creep to Harley's Funny Ex in-between seasons #to the point that he hooks up with some civilian nurse with two young children and it's treated sweet and romantic #instead of like. incredibly worrying. because he's a noted abuser with a terrible track record around women #but he's switched from being the antagonist of harley's Feminist Character Arc to a comedic side character so whatever it's fine now #so many male writers get to write harley quinn content and i feel like they almost never understand anything about domestic abuse #so they just write the most exaggerated parody of it possible and then have harley hit him with a hammer #and then feel like they've made her a strong female character #which like. i guess makes sense as an evolution for a female character who was originally written as side joke eye candy #NOT that i don't enjoy a lot of the stories paul dini has written about her #but like. there's a lot of contextual baggage in her character from day one

light and misa's "relationship" is rlly tragic and fucked but also in an isolated state its really fucking funny. ESPECIALLY if you consider them both to be arospec like i do

#misa is like ''oh light my wonderful boyfriend~!! we need to go on a date we haven't been on one in so long!''#(i know that when you're dating you're supposed to go on dates. so we have to go on a date every so often to assure me that i'm getting a #good grade in Having a Boyfriend something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve)#and then light is like (internally) 'i would literally rather kill myself than spend time with her but i need her for my purposes so i have #to appease her' (externally) ''ok sure i guess misa''#and then they go to a restaurant and misa waits for him to kiss her the whole night (she does not attempt to herself)#meanwhile light just sits there and goes nonverbal for long extended periods of time while he monologues in his head about how to appear #like a normal (straight) human being (spoiler: he's really bad at this)#and every so often he'll be like ''you look nice. this food is good. other boring pleasantries'' while glaring as if he's poisoned her food #THEY LIVED LIKE THIS FOR 4 YEARS.#again. awful. but also kind of fucking funny. gay aroace guy and aroace girl going through the motions of a heterosexual relationship for 4 #whole years. they hate each other for sure dawg ToT obvs misa to a lesser extent but i think she definitely had a lot subconscious hate for #light. that only got stronger the longer things went on #also during this time they definitely had sex a Single Time because they got to a point where misa was like we've been dating for like #2 years normal couples usually sleep together way before then...... and light was like. LOUD SIGH. ok #it was terrible. neither of them enjoyed it and they never spoke of it again #gee wonder why that was (holding the ace spectrum behind my back)#anyways they're so awful im obsessed w them. awful apart and even WORSE together. it's beautiful #then you throw L in this mix and it gets even funnier and MORE awful #(he's bi aroace to me btw. for the record)#serena.txt #death note posting

every so often my depression causes me to impulsively look up my ex best friend and ex boyfriend from high school a million years ago on Facebook and ya know? I always feel better about myself afterwards

#karma is my boyfriend karma is a god! karma's a relaxing thought aren't you envious that for you it's not!!!!!!#they said id be nothing without them ☺️ and my sources tell me they don't have anything really going for them #and like i dont want their lives to suck they're not TERRIBLE people #but i cant help but 🤭#ex best friend is on her second husband and we're 24/25 years old which isn't necessarily a bad thing #except one mutual friend of ours who only keeps tabs on the ex bff in order to get the tea says that this dude is as shitty as the last #and that he only married her bc shes pregnant #and ex boyfriend WAS engaged a year or so ago but she broke it off 👀👀👀#which is sad and all but he literally broke up with me out of the blue FIVE TIMES in high school then a few months later gave me puppy eyes #and asked to get back together again and me being a stupid teenager always said yes!#cause karma is the thunder rattling your ground 🤭🤭🤭#i have less info on his life but from what i do know he's not having a good time #meanwhile im married to a wonderful man and have a stable job i love

thinking about this BTD oc I did at 4am lmao.

I tried to put a new theme to the first game, where after MC is taken to Strade's house, girlie tries to get they out of there just to annoy Strade bc they had a "history" (mf really fought with a skinwalker).

imagine kidnapping people for fun and there's a fucking skinwalker living in your attic playing with them to fuck u of stress.

1. you would have the option of being able to call her with a little phone icon next to you (like the one with the knife when we tried to stab Strade), be careful of calling her too much or she will get bored and just won't help you out or will only leave the call in static.

keep an open mind to her games, this mf doesn't know where and when to stop; but hey, if you show some dominance to her stupid questions and play along with it, you will have several chances to end up surviving either her or Strade.

relationship goals 💘 (they tried to kill each other.)

Strade and Ren belongs to @/gatobob.

#boyfriend to death oc #btd oc #digital art #murder oc #skinwalker oc lmao #maybe she and mason get along terribly #like he tried to k¡ll her so...#skinwalkers.#anyway father and daughter not biological #OML IMAGINE GOING HUNTING FOR YOUR DINNER AND YOU END UP TAKING CARE OF A FUCKING SKINWALKER 😭😭😭#girlie was too shy to eat him tho #let her love the mc #🙏#now i think about it #she is maybe a tpof oc #damn alr #gatobob

I actually lost sleep over merlin last night and i still have a lot of thoughts

i never actually watched the show after the first time through when i was 14. And the impressions i was left with this entire time was: merlin is gay; arthur and gwen are SO cute but i still think merthur is even stronger; morgana's downfall makes me depressed because once they were all friends and then she betrays them all; poor merlin trying his hardest to make the parts of destiny he likes happen and the parts he doesnt like NOT happen, he is literally a tragic hero and for all his efforts, for all his sacrifice and the time he spent closeted, arthur still dies and the ending made me sob for a week

But now that i'm rewatching i feel like i remembered it completely wrong and i feel like a lot of people do too. Yes the ending is tragic and it hits as hard as it did because we've always knownit was going to end like this, they've been telling us since season 1!!

But its also tragic because..merlin is such a damn bootlicker. Its tragic to see him stop fighting for his rights and even stop WANTING to stand up for himself. All he cares about is arthur arthur arthur, and i dont just mean this like he's obsessed in a bad way because he loves kissing the monarchy's ass. ITS BECAUSE MERLIN IS 100% ACTUALLY GENUINELY IN LOVE WITH ARTHUR! And arthur loves him a lot too, just not romantically. ANDTHESE TWO ASPECTS ONLY MAKE MERLIN'S SITUATION ALL THE MORE TRAGIC AND PATHETIC.

For some reason I remembered this show as being so sad because For The Power Of Good, merlin had to sacrifice living openly. When really this show is so sad because Merlin willingly submits and renounces his rights, his fire, his rightful desire for respect for himself and his kind all because he is in love with a man who, if he knew the real him, would have him exiled or even executed

And you know what? There's elements of that same Tragedy Of Bootlicking in gwen and gaius as well. Both have been wrongfully accused and nearly executed by uther (gwen's father was ACTUALLY executed by him) and yet they continue to not only not seek revenge (which fair enought, thats your choice) but they continue to serve under him DIRECTLY at his fucking palace. ?!?!? Logic?!?! Logic where did you go?!?

Gaius has been criticized in the show by other sorcerers for betraying their kind for standing by as they were slaughtered and now working directly for uther. Why?!? Why did gaius do this?!? Honestly, i have to believe it was just fear and cowardice and convenience. His other choice was exile or maybe death and he chose submission. MUCH LIKE MERLIN!!

What about gwen? Why does she stay in camelot after her father is murdered? How can she possibly bear it? Because she is in love with a man who she believes will bring about a new era of prosperity and peace and rights (for servants and the lower class in general). MUCH LIKE MERLIN!! (Except he also wants rights for those with magic)

Morgana is the only bitch i respect around here. She is the only one who says "you know what? Fuck this and fuck you, i will not submit just because i have blind faith in the hope that one day things might be a bit different". Oooo and she is the villain of this tale, i see... just because she refuses to bootlick...

#merlin #you know this show is really compelling because im somehow rooting for all the main four even though they're at odds with each other #and are all terrible in one way or another #particularly rooting for morgana though who am i kidding #but im shaking merlin and gwen like AMIGA DATE CUENTA!!#especially merlin #bc at least gwen does become queen. her efforts and patience do sort of pay off #but merin?? he reaps no reward #as for arthur im like..oh. hey. (greets cordially because you're my friend's boyfriend whom im sorta iffy about)#although he doeshave a really big heartand he does love gwen and merlin #and his storyline with gwen is so cute. im not gonna lie #long post #bbc merlin #merlin rewatch

She does a double take as Yasmine politely pulls out her chair in a very...un-Yasminelike gesture.

What happened in Paris?

“Holy shit.” Yasmine’s eyes trail from her yellow floral dress down to periwinkle high heels. “You’re a knockout.”

“Thanks!” Moon beams. “Hawk always hated when I wore heels. Made him feel more like a pygmy falcon, I guess.”

Yasmine cackles—a full, hearty laugh Moon hasn’t heard in ages. It’s revitalizing.

“Sit,” Yasmine orders. “I ordered us a fuckton of almond croissants.”

Her favorite.

Yas remembered.

***

Took a deep breath in the mirror He didn’t like it when I wore high heels But I do

Turn the lock and put my headphones on He always said he didn’t get this song But I do

Walked in expecting you’d be late But you got here early and you stand and wave I walk to you

You pull my chair out and help me in And you don’t know how nice that is But I do

And you throw your head back laughing Like a little kid I think it's strange that you think I'm funny ‘Cause he never did I've been spending the last eight months thinking all love ever does Is break and burn and end But on a Wednesday In a cafe I watched it begin again
