I saw a post a while ago that joked about how fanfic writers love to give characters non-specific paperwork when they need the characters to be bored or tired from a long day. They speculated it’s because a lot of fanfic writers are either very young, or typically not very familiar with the jobs they’re writing about. And now that I’m back into reading merlin fanfiction I’m obsessed with how the equivalence of this for Arthur is shit to do with wheat and grain. Merlin wants to know where Arthur is? Oh he’s probably in a boring council meeting about wheat yields. Why has Arthur had a long day? Well he was spending all day surveying the grain storage for the upcoming winter. Arthur’s been arguing with other nobles? Probably because they all want more of the grain grown on their own land. This man is micro managing every single stalk grown in the kingdom of camelot no wonder he never noticed merlin’s magic
Must be so so hard to be a professional writer and write something with just BANGER narrative architecture like just incredible symbolism and foils and parallels and thematic consistency and dramatic irony and then just silently release this into the world and hope the audience Gets It.
Well well well, if it isn’t once and future king and his friend/manservant/ other side of the coin/destiny/love of his life/boyfriend

Ruby is one of the most expensive gemstones and with its rich red colour it isn't hard to see why. Rubies have long been connected with physicality and strength, thought to be intimately connected with the human body.

Peridot is one of my favourite stones thanks to its gorgeous yellow-green hue. Because of this lively appearance they were often thought to protect their wearer at night.

Sapphire is considered a protective gemstone. They may shield the wearer from physical harm, as well as bad intentions and envy. It was also thought that sapphires had medicinal properties.

Opal is an incredibly unique gemstone with its multi-coloured appearance. Opals are associated with light and magic, with some crediting them with healing properties.

Topaz comes from the Sanskrit word for fire, which is reflected in its vibrant and rich orange-yellow colour. It is believed that topaz worn above the heart assures long life, beauty and intelligence.

Blue Topaz actually comes out of the ground colourless or pale blue. A two-step heat and radiation laboratory treatment is then used to turn these stones vivid blue.

1917 Dress
Based on the dress Lily wears in act one of Anastasia. It’s easily my favorite of her costumes, and it’s a crime that it only gets about 10 seconds of stagetime. It comes in 21 swatches (the majority of them from LyriumSims’s Exalted Palette, as per usual).

It won’t be awkward, it will be the proving the point of the song once more with the exact same criticism the song was meant to evoke the first time around. It only sucks that it will be more poignant because yes, it’s a second time — but it won’t be awkward. Only another instance of art commenting on the world around us. It’s the point of the song and that moment in the show.
TGWDLM rerun is probably happening and all I can think about is how awkward “America is Great again” will be 💀💀
the most annoying people are people who don't understand storytelling. they be like "oooo how convenient that this thing happened to the main character in the very beginning". yeah no shit. that's why the story begins here
