reading books like the secret history is always such a wild ride, because i'm fully aware that it's a criticism of aesthetic hedonism and the elitism of academia, and then i'll read a line like " if we are strong enough in our souls we can rip away the veil and look at that naked, terrible beauty right in the face; let God consume us, devour us, unstring our bones. then spit us out reborn" and i go absolutely fucking feral.

Merlin returns to the Lake of Avalon every year to tell Arthur about everything that’s been going on. This is one of these days.
y’all what if Arthur putting his hand on the back of Merlin’s head in 5.13 was him trying to pull Merlin in for a kiss but he was too weak to do it before he died

S05E08 - The Hollow Queen
something about francis being written comically by donna tartt in the secret history is very amusing to me (and henry is always there to put up with him)
EVERYONE IS LONELY
I saw this post and I immediately thought about Merlin and Arthur so I did this. I have no regrets.
