POLL TIME!

A couple days ago I asked you all what twogaty's duo name should be, rather than just getting their names smushed together. And you all delivered! Thank you to @writingonredd, @beesbeesbees42, @sillygayoscfan, and @fanatsrit for the suggestions!

Merlin 4x03 The Wicked Day

we saved Sean!

Molly correcting Arthur when he calls her Miss O’Shea to call her Molly. And is then brushed off/ ignored when she was trying to confide in him.

Molly correcting Dutch when he calls her Miss O’Shea to call her Molly. And this literally being one of the final things she says before she’s killed.

The way she just wants people to use her name and treat her like an actual human being rather than an object to sit and look pretty next to Dutch. To look at her and see her and listen to her.

In this essay I will-

MERLIN | 4.11 The Hunter’s Heart

I played rdr2 before rdr1 and let me tell you hearing John wheeze after being shot dozens of times and sounding just like Arthur struggling to breathe and wheeze on that cliff side made me lose my shit

my favourite camp interaction with charles is when arthur ends with "anyway, i'm gonna leave you alone now" and charles replies with "thanks" in the most sincere and grateful way. he KNOWS arthur respects his boundaries and he knows that arthur doesn't judge him for wanting to keep to himself most of the time and he knows that arthur doesn't misinterpret it as a "leave me alone, i never want to talk to you again" and will be back to ask how he's doing or if they can go hunting again together

charles feels safe with arthur because arthur is never thrown off by the boundaries he sets and will always be back to keep charles company if charles lets him

do you know i could break beneath the weight

of the goodness, love, i still carry for you

that i'd walk so far just to take

the injury of finally knowing you

anyways @shootybangbang 's talking bird fic on ao3 has ruined me

me right now

Nothing can describe the way my heart shattered when Arthur asked if Dutch was going to go look for him after he was kidnapped by Colm in chapter 3- all he got was a "Oh of course, son" in the most pitiful, unassured tone of voice I'd ever heard from Dutch.

The three of them had set up a meeting point at "the fork in the road" if the O'Driscoll parlay went south, Arthur seemingly disappeared and didn't return for another day or so until he was physically crawling trying to get back to camp, and still nobody questioned where he was?

Yes, it's typical for Arthur to wander and find his own way home after missions, but the key word is AFTER. Arthur disappeared DURING the meeting and didn't regroup at the designated rendezvous point AFTERWARDS.

Especially dealing with the likes of the O'Driscolls, wouldn't that ring some kind of alarm? If not from Dutch or Micah, then wouldn't anybody else at the camp question it?

I imagine an (exaggerated) conversation like this probably happened if anyone at camp asked:

"Hey Dutch how was the meeting with the O'Driscolls?"

"It went fine we talked a bit then they left suddenly so weird"

"Where's Arthur then?"

"Oh I don't know we didn't see him after we split up for the meeting haha probably wandered off again typical Arthur"

God, if you're going to treat Arthur like the gang's workhorse, then act like you care about him at least.

Arthur is strong, but he isn't invincible.

thirty & flirty & thriving / shower drains HATE them

Sean MacGuire and laughing after being slapped across the face. Sean MacGuire and smiling, giggling, while constantly being rejected, never really holding any expectations of anyone else. Never expecting that true acceptance he seeks. Sean MacGuire brushing off the torture and terror he's been through the past two weeks just to grin and joke, so nobody will worry too much. Sean MacGuire chasing a woman who vaccilates in whether or not she wants him, happy when she gives him the time of day, not complaining when she doesn't. Sean MacGuire and putting all his love and light and laughter into the world and being rewarded by rolling eyes and derisive comments, but doing it anyway because nobody else will. Sean MacGuire staying optimistic, carefree, joking. Filling the role he's been given in the gang, being told off if he stops doing so.

Dutch van der Linde laughing, telling Arthur Morgan "He's just a younger version of you!"

FINALLY BEAT RDR2!!! ✌️🤠✌️
