My favorite thing about art is that everyone takes something different out of it! Oh you like this song? This is what it means to you? Well this what it means to me. You see these two characters together? I see these two. We both love this thing so much and took such different things from it! Isn't that cool!? Isn't awesome the we see the same things and we love them differently! Then we take what we see and what we love from it and make new art! And the cycle continues! I love art and I love humanity!
All I need is for someone to gently cup my face and tell me I'm not as doomed as I feel.
Thinking about this again. When I'm angry he should be angry.
I need more angry Merlin! I need Merlin to accidentally reveal his magic, expecting Arthur to lash out and feel betrayed. I need Arthur to tell Merlin he knew the whole time. I need Merlin to pause, to process what he just said. I need Merlin to realize what he's sacrificed to keep his secret while Arthur let him. I need Merlin to be the one to lash out and tell him this. I need Merlin to be the one to feel betrayed. Arthur knew and he let Merlin continue to lie to him and believe that Arthur hated him. Arthur didn't tell him he knew all in the name of "trust" and "letting Merlin decide when it was best to tell him". I need Merlin to break down at this. How could Arthur not realize how much it hurt Merlin to lie!? How could he be okay with the betrayal while not processing the consequences of that betrayal!? For a good cause or not!? I need Merlin to scream.
Merlin Playlist. Please love it
Sobbing. I need to be needed. I need the intimacy of it. Let me worship you
I want a fic where Leon knew Merlin had magic almost the whole time! At least after the first Round Table episode with all the other knights!
Leon who knew the whole time and still respected Merlin, if not more
Leon who also knew Merlin was tragically in love with Arthur and would do anything for him
Leon who really thought "poetry" meant "we're secretly lovers" but still never mentioned Merlin’s secret
Leon who got a laugh out of Dragoon when he stepped all over the knights!
It would just be so good and funny pleaseeee
I see people say that Deadpool wouldn't work with Insomniac!Pete because he's too much of a goody-two-shoes, but not only has the second game proven that his veneer of 'nice guy' is every bit as thin as any other Peter Parker's, people also tend to forget that his goody-two-shoes attitude is what draws Wade to him to begin with.
The reason they become friends is because their sense of humour is similar, they're both people who mask (pun not intended) trauma with japery and they have good hearts, their boundaries are just vastly different.
I love insomniac!Pete especially because he feels like a guy who has an earnest desire to do good and be kind, but it doesn't come entirely naturally to him - unlike Miles who just cannot help himself. He has to help or he'll fall apart. Miles will forgive anyone anything, even his worst enemy. Peter struggles.
It's nice to see a Peter who is confident in himself, even though he sometimes forgets how to act like a normal person, who struggles, but ultimately learns from his hardships.
I think Insomniac!Pete would do very well with Deadpool and they might get to push each other to be better, just like they sometimes do in the comics.
I was trying to find some Merwaine fics on AO3 and wouldn’t ya know it almost all the ones that were recommended were also Merthur! God fucking damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Ik this can be easily remedied by excluding Merthur tags but I was lazy & ended up shocked by just how much was Gwaine being Merlin’s gateway to Arthur)
Also as much as I’m a Merthur endgamer just let me have my Merwaine!!! As a treat!!!! Us Merthites have such a tragic pairing as our favorite so why can’t I just have something sweet and simple??? Why not have my little blorbos get up to some nonsense & also smooch??? I am only a man!!
Yearning. Unattainable want.
we heard that you were very disappointed in us both as a generation and specifically as a generation of women (emphasis yours), how we had let ourselves go and now we were slutty and ill-tempered and holding onto notions of feminism like "having a savings account" and "equality."
we were very sorry about it, we didn't realize. it is very hard for you, in your life, because your entire definition was centered around the word providing, and that's a really vague and undulating word. it is hard to be a provider. for your purposes, the word provider here can be defined as "having a job", although it sometimes also extends to "doing yard work", "grilling on occasion," and "knowing basic car anatomy."
we had to do some reading but we divided it out. do not worry. high-value women will fill in the rest of the gaps of your life - all those silly feminine things like doing the dishes. we didn't realize we had asked too much when we asked you to pick up after yourself. we did not realize you were rendered small and scared and crying about the possibility of doing the laundry. here is a joke to lighten the sentiment: a man that listens when you talk to him.
we heard about how we had fallen from glory and it sickened us and made us very, very sad. lindsey had to cut all her hair off and tara threw up. we lit one million candles and we are going to have a vigil about it tonight. all of the people in this world that you do not approve of are going to be there and we will all be in mourning colors because we have lost your respect which is of course the only thing that any of us were looking for.
we searched around our bedrooms and our closets and for some of us it took a while but we all found the pricetag that we were originally born with, the one that gave our listing offer, the one that smells like rot and pine needles. we were horrified because many of us had taken deductions and hadn't realized it. i had scraped my knees and decided to be a lesbian so they had to take my voicebox out so i could never call home again. janice had been with too many people overall so we had to put her into the big squisher that will hopefully collapse her walls so that when you're with her, you'll feel so big and powerful. it will be like you're conquering something instead of being close with someone.
we are all going to the funeral of feminism and we will tear at our bodies and fall over ourselves. we will invite you onstage for a live recording of your podcast about the occasional minor inconvenience of self-reflection. you will talk about how we have targeted you and made you feel the sweat slick down your back, and we will teach you basic self-defense out of solidarity.
do not worry, we are seeing to all the outliers. taylor asked to be taken seriously so we have shipped her off to prison. laura asked you to accept her femininity regardless of her presentation. you will be happy to hear all women are now and forever going to have to be small and thin and pretty and white and ablebodied and quiet and unassuming and ladylike, which is different than how society has previously told us to act.
i am going to have to shave off my jawline, which is a little masculine, and they are going to have to reshape my hands, which are very square and thick - all the work i've done with them has made their veins stand out, so we're just going to have to exsanguinate me. i am horrified to have been out in public like this.
we are going to sit around the campfire and we will talk about being weird little girls that made potions in pink teacups. we will talk about the first time we made a difference. we will talk about the private lives of crickets, and then, at the stroke of three in the morning (the witching hour, obviously) - we will all promptly shut up.
and this will be your beautiful world. this silence that spans every corner of every street and every zoom meeting and every alley. i do not think you'll notice at first - it will be the same as every television show and movie and book. we will all just simply sit there in our doll dresses and smile blithely at your advances and none of us will do you the dishonor of answering and none of us will appear to be in distress and none of us will nag you or make a fuss or get hysterical about it. it will just be quiet, and you will say finally, some peace for once! and we will smell of smoke and our teeth will be white and the next day will come.
tonight we are going to bury the last little bits of our humanity. you are not invited. it is going to be ugly.
There's something so heartbreakingly romantic about breaking your moral code for someone. Following them knowingly into hell
And there it is again. That longing.

As I sat in the dark, eating strawberries and nutella on toast, watching the lighting roll outside my window, I thought, "this is what poetry is made of" and I figured someone would know what I meant.
I'm gonna try and write a poem every day of June. I feel like it'll help keep me motivated during the summer. If it goes well I'll keep going in July. Here's the first:
