i can’t believe arthur never noticed merlin using magic around him
You know what really hit me hard in the Barbie movie?
That scene at the beginning where Barbie goes around her normal day, at the president's office, at the court, at the nobel prize ceremony...
All the Barbies, when being complimented on their achievements, being told they're doing an awesome job, when they, themselves, talk about their work and what they've achieved...
None of them doubt it. None of them are awkwardly trying to go 'oh it was very hard, I had help, it wasn't that important..."
No. Instead, they own it. They are confident. They know their value, they are not afraid to say 'I am good at what I do. I wrote an excellent book. I am great at being President of Barbieland. I am strong. I am a doctor and very good at my job. I am a lawyer and me showing feelings and empathy does not diminish my work in any way."
That scene actually hit me even harder than Gloria's speech. Because how often have I been hesitant to say I have done a good job, how often have I done my best to tone down my achievements because I didn't want to be seen as bragging, because I myself wasn't even sure it was that good, because I never think it's good enough?
Too often.
I'm going to try and work on that. Because I am badass, and I write good stories, and I deserve to be proud of them.
Because I AM good enough.
No because like genuinely
WHAT WAS THAT STORY LINE?!?!?
Let us have the cute lesbian couple plsssss
Watching Dead Boy Detectives like:
Man, I love the Butcher Lesbian with the Librarian Lesbian 🥰
Me, 20 min later: 😳😳😳
A Merthur fic with Arthur coming out of that Lake in Modern times.
They find each other and are happy and Merlin shows Arthur everything of this strange new world. Everything is exciting but eventually they need to go to sleep.
But Arthur can’t sleep on Merlin’s very normal but adequate bed.
So Merlin gets him the nicest softest Mattress of all worthy for a King.
Arthur still can’t find sleep.
Then Merlin resorts to a replica of beds of medieval ages.
Arthur confirms that it’s just like his old bed but he still can’t find sleep.
Merlin brings him to one mattress shop after another to find the right thing.
At last Arthur find the right bed and immediately falls asleep.
It’s a waterbed.
And then it’s Merlin who can’t sleep in it.
Don’t get wrong I eat up those little fan fictions about Arthur thinking Merlin is scared of magic and what not but, Merlin’s best friend literally had magic in Arthur’s POV so like he knew Merlin was chill with magic. Like Ik it’s fanfic and all that but it low key make me mad sometimes. Also like it’s right there that Arthur even though knowing Merlin is okay with magic loves him anyways and doesn’t make him out as an enemy WRITE ABOJT THAT. Sorry I just feel very strongly about this.
What is currently killing me about merthur is the whole Merlin fell first but Arthur fell harder. Because if this is true (which I fully believe it is) and Merlin was so so broken over Arthur's death. And waited dutifully and solemnly for 1500+ years. Then just imagine, imagine (!) what Arthur would have done if Merlin died. Broken wouldn't begin to describe it. He would have raged and torn the world apart to bring him back. If Merlin turned dark in s5 trying to prevent the end, then imagine how dark Arthur would become if he lost Merlin. Nothing, I mean nothing would have stopped him from bringing Merlin back.
Imagine Merlin reading all the Arthurian books, watching every movie, TV show, animated series etc about Arthurian mythology, because he wants to feel at least something that reminds him home
One day he'll stop doing it alone. And for the first time he will laugh about how goofy some of those movies are. There will be a person who will laugh with him.
Because the world will never know their little truth.
what a typical wednesday looks like
You know I don’t think I’ll ever get over dead poets society. I know some people hate it because it racist and all that and yes I don’t deny it has it’s issues. There’s just this heart breaking truth of the movie.
People die others live, live the same life that they’ve always hated.
Things don’t really change for the poets. They lose a friend, a level of grief that will always be with them. They go back to school with no teacher teaching them things of inspiration. Dead poets society was only a moment in these boys lives. That’s part of the reason it’s so special to me. We all no matter who have had at least one moment where we felt truly alive. The truth that’s set in stone is life is death always led on by the other. So live, CARPE DEIM BITCHES.
We are at some point kids/teens. But we live so live a life of tales not of pointless small talk.
