Mad about politics again
The hill I will die on.
Rereading the Hobbit is making me fucking SICK because what do you MEAN Thorin, through sheer force of will and homosexuality, held off on dying until they found Bilbo, presumed dead, so he could apologize????? I'm gonna throw up
'he would not fucking say that' maybe he would if he knew he was starring in his very own porn fic for the sole purpose of delighting some freaks on archive of our own dot org. maybe he'd play it up for the cameras. ever consider that
your unreliable narrator fucking bit me
I adore the "Merlin doesn't realize Arthur's counting him because he doesn't understand nobles" fics however I would love to see a reverse on this.
Arthur is so used to courtship being about expensive gifts and grand gestures amongst the nobles that he has no idea Merlin's been courting him in the more simple way people do in Ealdor. Things like cooking for your intended, handmade gifts, helping them with tasks around the village, and using a split coin as a proposal instead of a ring. By the time Arthur realises anything Merlin already considers them married
A gift for my amazing discord moderator Sabina, who has been helping me moderate my online communities for almost 7 years now and has a soft spot for magpies. I do too 🖤
kind of obsessed with the characterization of jayce and viktor as fundamentally good people who will also go absolutely batshit insane if you separate them because theyre also ridiculously codependent to a degree that is concerning for everybody else's wellbeing. they were literally away from each other for a couple of months and almost ended the entire world
Thorin, who grew up in a society often portrayed as brash and crude, and faced many traumatic and difficult events in his life: has never said an “undignified” word in his entire life
Bilbo, who not only grew up in the prim, proper and respectable society but was considered a gentle hobbit of them: curses like a fucking sailor
