Love spell incident with a twist.
Arthur is aware that he's been enchanted to be in love with Merlin. He's completely oblivious to Merlin's feelings though. Otherwise his mind is clear.
Merlin: so, here is the antidote
Arthur: *staring at the antidote* maybe... Maybe let's wait a few more days?
Merlin: what? Why? Don't you want to turn back? I thought this was terrible?
Arthur: it is... i mean, it was. But actually? It's sort of - nice.
Merlin: what? Being enchanted?
Arthur: *flushes* being in love with you.
Merlin: *Thunderstruck* erm... How am I supposed to understand that?
Arthur: well, it's just... You're kind... You care about me and you don't judge me for my feelings and I just... Feel save? Around you, I mean. It's nice, being with you. Even if it's not-
Merlin: real?
Arthur: as close as I would like to be.
Merlin: oh
Arthur: *nervously fumbling with his hands* yeah
Merlin: *struggling* Arthur, I can't let you stay enchanted
Arthur: ... I know. Just... Just a few more days? A week max! I promise, I won't reject the antidote again, I just... I just want to feel like this a little longer
Merlin, who's heart is nearly breaking at the sight, both for Arthur and himself: yeah. Sure. Of course. Just a couple days.

Calisthenics for Beginners (2023)
You can learn almost any exercise by building up with easier variations! Here are some examples.
Note: this is a short version of a 26-minute long video called "Home Workout for Beginners (2023)" on our YouTube channel. If you want more details, please check out that video or the Hybrid Routine page: https://www.hybridcalisthenics.com/routine I tried to fit what I can into a short video.
Also, yes my knees go in a bit more than I'd like during my intro jump when I stand up 😅. The one later is better.
We're going to try to schedule a large backlog of videos to post daily for a while! If anything seems out of order, that might be why. Follow for more - have a wonderful day!

A lot of people ask me what my biggest fear is, or what scares me most. And I know they expect an answer like heights, or closed spaces, or people dressed like animals, but how do I tell them that when I was 17 I took a class called Relationships For Life and I learned that most people fall out of love for the same reasons they fell in it. That their lover’s once endearing stubbornness has now become refusal to compromise and their one track mind is now immaturity and their bad habits that you once adored is now money down the drain. Their spontaneity becomes reckless and irresponsible and their feet up on your dash is no longer sexy, just another distraction in your busy life. Nothing saddens and scares me like the thought that I can become ugly to someone who once thought all the stars were in my eyes.
suggestions for new artists
- have two blogs, one where you only post your art and another fandom blog where you reblog not only your art to but also reblog and interact with others
- tags only matter for SEO and fandom, so there is no reason to tag #art and #pixel art for example
- tag posts to be searchable for your own blog, keep the same tagging system too so people can easily sort your posts
- use the queue feature to post things at optimal times
- reblog yourself (and tag #srb or #self-bost accordingly for people who block it)
- one to two pieces of art per post
- Tumblr loves sketches and throw away art, just post it on its own instead of doing a sketch dump
- have a pinned post telling people what tags can be searched in your blog to find your art, your fandoms, your OCS, and anything else that might be relevant
venti after reviving kaeya:
TW: Very minor suicide implication
I really wanted to explore more of Diluc and Kaeya’s relationship. I see them as platonic brothers, but I don’t have an issue with anyone shipping them. You do you.
This takes place a bit after ‘Forever Dreaming’ and I do plan to write an alternate ending to make it less depressing.
————————————————————————————
Diluc, of course, heard about what happened. Kaeya had to kill Albedo with his own hands in order to keep Mondstadt safe. He knew the feeling of losing someone dear to you all too well, though he couldn’t imagine the pain of doing it yourself. He acted like he couldn’t care less, but he had to admit he was worried for Kaeya. Especially now. It’s been at least two weeks since the incident and Kaeya hasn’t visited his tavern once. Usually, he would always hang around either here or the Cat’s Tail, yet he asked around and no one saw him there either.
By now it was starting to take too long. He had to act. He did what he thought he would never do again and showed up at the Knights of Favonious headquarters. He headed straight to Kaeya’s office, but to his surprise, it was empty as well. He glanced around a little to try and find clues of his whereabouts, but all he found was an old picture. Of the two of them as children. Still happy and together with nothing wrong in the world. He frowned and placed it back down. He sometimes wished they could return to that. He also wondered why Kaeya would keep this in his office. It wasn’t relevant to work.
His next destination was Jean’s office. He was let in merely after a few moments of waiting. “Have you seen Kaeya recently?” Jean’s first question sounded.
This utterly shocked Diluc and he frowned once more. “That’s the question I came here to ask,” he said and crossed his arms, his gaze moving to the ground. “I haven’t seen him at the tavern since…,” He didn’t say it out loud, but Jean knew exactly what he was talking about.

i look at all of my art, and i see are scenes from dreams i cant remember
its been p common knowledge for decades that light pollution can be massively reduced by just putting shades on streetlamps, and that doing that would save energy, help wildlife, and let us see the stars better, but are society says if u wanna change any minor little tiny thing u gotta dedicate ur whole life to campaigning for it and this is a good ways down the list of priorities for most ppl, so instead i gotta walk past newly-installed streetlamps that are just dumb glass globes that use half their electricity to blast half their light directly into the sky where it does only bad things for no reason and think "we should overthrow the government"
