somehow some time magic goes wrong and young arthurs from different points in time are pulled into king arthur era. everyone kinda has this back and forth of who is going to watch the literal 8 month old. gwen and lancelot are pretty good at taking care of him, so is percival but he doesnt seem comfortable with it so no one forces him. elyan tried to hold him but baby!arthur started wailing after three seconds. leon is sorta good but he has like no idea how babies work or what they need so when baby!arthur found his sword and almost lobbed his own head off, leon was forbidden from taking care of the child. gaius is too old and busy researching how to reverse the issue. who the HELL would trust gwaine with a child? arthur has this Odd aversion to the child but no one pushes him on it. ofc merlin, magic incarnate, has this like aura or energy that draws all these innocent woodland creatures to him so obviously little arthur is also drawn to him. in fact, merlin seems to be the person he likes the most. and merlins a natural w kids apparently so hes often the one that baby!arthur is handed off to.
he complains about it at first but when baby!arthur breaks into a fit of giggles after merlin calls adult!arthur a clotpole, he has merlin wrapped around his little finger. merlin stops complaining but does let arthur know that the one thing he Will Not Do is change his diaper. arthur laughs and walks away. merlin talks to baby!arthur like they’ve been friends for years (bc they have). arthur points out that baby!arthur cant understand him and merlin retorts that its like how it normally is. merlin gets to perform magic in front of baby!arthur and he LOVES it
my point to this was merlin dotting on little versions of arthur is a way that no one ever really did for him growing up and adult!arthur seeing it and healing little pieces of his inner child as he watches merlin play games with baby!arthur and make sure he’s taken care of. it especially hits him when gaius finally finds a way to send baby!arthur back and while everyone seems torn between upset they have to say bye, they’re also relieved to get the baby back where hes supposed to be,, merlin is like choking back fat tears. everyone backs off to give them privacy and merlin just kisses baby!arthur’s forehead and whispers some encouraging and heartachingly sincere words that have adult!arthur choking back tears.
then BOOM the spell also backfires and while yes baby!arthur got back to where hes supposed to be, now theres toddler!arthur. he has this gravitational pull to gaius (can recognize him) and merlin (magic soulmates ofc he has an innate trust in the man). merlin is happy to have his little friend back and gaius goes back to the drawing board. now they have this little 2-3 year old toddling after them and blabbering something that sounds like english if you’re patient enough
(merlin makes another comment about how little arthur has changed over the years)
the cycle repeats, merlin and toddler!arthur get attached and adult!arthur watches and heals a bit more of his inner child. gaius finds another cure that falls through the same way and now they have child!arthur. he has a bit more of uther’s influence in him but hes still a child. he gets hurt and tries to fight back tears but merlin sees he’s in pain and tells him it’s okay to be hurt, to feel pain, to cry. child!arthur says in that stutter cry children do when they’re fighting back tears that his father says boys shouldn’t cry. merlin wipes a tear that slips down child!arthur’s face and whispers about how he cries and lets himself feel his sadness before picking himself back up and dusting himself off before getting back to it, that it doesn’t make him weak but stronger. adult!arthur hears this and this may not be the beginning of his deconstruction but it makes a tremendous amount of progress in him rewiring his brain away from his father’s toxic ways of thinking.
idk if they’d get a teen!arthur since gaius probably would’ve learned his lesson by then but if they did, we’d get to watch Merlin vs Arthur Showdown 2.0 as merlin humbles the young prince and i think that’d be funny. especially for gwaine since he didn’t get to see it happen the first time.

Hey I happened Apon a post where you commented about how BBC Merlin is actually a horror series and your explanation of that was so compelling that it’s all I can think about now is Merlin through that meta narrative horror lense and I need you to talk about it more immediately or I might go coco bananas bc wtf I cant get it out of my head
Oh! Thank you, it's very nice to hear it was compelling :)) I don't quite remember what I said -- there's a lot about Merlin that's horrifying -- but I suspect that it had to do with the fact that the characters in Merlin are trapped and not allowed to escape. By virtue of the genre, we expect that they will escape. We expect that Merlin will be freed from his obligation to hide and to make compromising moral decisions because the future of the kingdom rests on his shoulders. We expect that Arthur will be freed from the world of lies he’s living in. The plot goes in this direction, too -- you’re so certain that that’s what’s going to happen in “sins of the father”....and then it doesn’t. You think it might happen in “the disir”...and then it doesn’t. In both these cases, Merlin intentionally lies to Arthur, keeping them both trapped. Add to this the fact that the writers keep resetting Arthur’s character to allow them to play out the same plot line over and over. I think, to be honest, this is just lazy writing, but the way it combines with the intentional writing choices gives you an uncanny feeling, kind of like watching a time loop and realizing the thing you thought would break it doesn’t, or like watching a vampire or zombie attack our protagonist and seeing the exact moment their struggle turns to acquiescence, watching the now-infected person return to their friends and feed on them without their knowledge. Even at the end, Merlin is not allowed to escape, forced to play out the same time loop for all eternity.
I’m really not a great horror aficionado, so I’m kind of struggling to come up with comparisons -- perhaps you’re better versed in horror theory and can articulate this better! I think the horror effect is most pronounced for me with Arthur’s storyline, especially with his relationship to Merlin. Arthur has no reason to believe he’s making decisions of anything other than his own free will, but he’s unaware of the manipulation constantly happening behind his back. Maybe the closest comparison i can think of is the truman show. The only character who is allowed to break out is Morgana, and she immediately becomes a monstrous villain, at least in the eyes of our protagonists.
This ask was the motivation i needed to actually make a merlin side-blog, so @camelotluteguild is it! I’m curious to hear your thoughts on this and related topics -- I think the thing that makes Merlin so compelling to me is the way in which different expectations and meta-narratives get layered onto each other, both intentionally and by virtue of a tv show being a group project -- it often leads to really interesting effects!

running from fate+fate finding you anyways ft.Merwaine
Saw this post and had ideas but ran out of tag space
S1, Killy speaks to Merlin he Nopes out of there.
Merlin walking right back to Ealdor.
But you can't fight fate, and on his way he runs into a rogue wanderer with gorgeous hair and a bright laugh.
Gwaine accompanies him back to Ealdor.
They fought bandits with magic swords on the way, and Gwaine mentioned sorcery in a negative tone.
Merlin wilted but Gwaine didn't notice, he was too busy trying to impress merlin with the sword flip thing he does, accompanied with his hair flip.
When merlin arrives in Ealdor, Will is thrilled and so is Hunith but also Hunith is concerned bc what?? happened???
Merlin explains everything to Hunith as Will gives Gwaine the shovel talk.
When Gwaine eventually packs up to leave after an incident involving a goose, a felled apple tree, and a pair of underpants (an incident that gets him kicked out by the village leader) he returns in s3e4 fashion to help the fight against cenred's men
Merlin thinks travelling with Gwaine and helping people doesn't seem like a bad idea
Hunith sees the decision in Merlin's face before Merlin himself does.
Will pulls his soulmate since childhood down and rubs his knuckles in his hair while Hunith silently packs some bread and cheese, a single tear falling because her boy is leaving yes, but he’s also in love and isn’t that wonderful?
Merlin asks Will to come but Will says he has duties as 'prince william of ealdor' but he softens and says eventually. when the time is right
in their travels they run into a handsome but sad swordsman, a man who could never be a knight of camelot for he wasn't nobility.
merlin gasps and gwaine sighs. they were always ready to fuck with the elite anyways
the identity theft thing happens except lance doesn’t get caught ‘cause. its not like anyone KNOWS who gwaine is
on their way to camelot gwaine promises to fight arthur and merlin mournfully says as a knight of camelot lance would have to defend arthur and merlin cant fight his FRIENDS.
they are having this conversation when they are attacked by a griffin.
they barely make it to camelot, and it is while merlin is being treated by gaius for the cut he got, all while valiantly ignoring killy's calls, gaius presses a book in his hands- the enchanted lance happens, lance knows, and Lance accepts him.
when Merwaine leave there is a steady flow of correspondence between merlin/gaius and merlin/lance
this is how merlin knows when the dragon escapes (killy switched tactics and spoke to morgana) and gaius writes to merlin and says ‘hey ur dad is alive lol’
merwaine finding balinor who dies and merlin cries and gwaine realizes oh. this was his father. and theres pain cause he realizes merlin never told him because gwaine was never quiet about being anti-magic
on their way back to camelot they run into a badass blacksmith
turns out he’s going to camelot too, his sister and father are under seige by a dragon after all.
when merlin defeats the dragon, the knights were knocked out and so everyone thinks Elyan is the dragonlord
gwen rolls her eyes fondly as arthur asks her if she’s a dragon lady.
just. merlin running from fate. and fate finding him anyways
I firmly believe the only reason Merlin didn’t turn around and walk away when that is such a Merlin thing to do was plot purposes. Had Merlin left Arthur would have been dead a hundred times over

HEYYYYYYY i’m so excited to respond to ur ask it made me so happy to see u in my notifs and i’m so excited for u for ur milestone! anyways i kinda want all of them but i decided to cut down to 🥺 :)))) 👀 pls rant i will read it all and ☕️ for morgwen andddd manon from the tog books. <3 <3 :*
HEY AMY!!! i hope you had a lovely day today🥺thank you for the ask💞
🥺- for my mutuals, ill talk about why i follow you and why everyone should be as well
omg im pretty sure i met and started following you like the day of that bellamy scene™️ because i remember thinking how fucking horrendous that episode ended, and, at the same time, how amazing that night on tumblr was aksnakaaj. so that night, tumblr was a fucking disaster and chaotic and funny asf. i remember texting @tkstrrand the entire ep (bc she couldn’t watch it for some reason) like how boring it was/how she wasn’t missing much blahblah and then when the death scene happened at the last fucking second, i sent her about a thousand separate incoherent texts in the span of like two minutes LOL tumblr was in shambles and i made a few posts about how fucking dumb the show was—one post i made i told my few new followers to fuck the 100 and just watch merlin and you texted me about it!! we have literally so much in common (with merlin, atla, the 100, tog!!!) that when you texted me about how you felt about that scene compared to merlin’s ending, my thought was like “this blog is so kind and we feel the same way and i need to follow asap.”
you are literally so sweet and lovely to talk to🥺that night™️ may had been disastrous, but i can look on it with a lighter heart because we met because of it!! every time we talk i always smile so much (and dw, i know i still have to get clone wars for our boy anakin👀👀)
dude, everyone should be following you because your blog is incredible, your tags are superb, and you are literally one of the sweetest people i’ve met on here😭💞 i adore you.
👀 - and ill tell you a parallel from merlin or the 100 that still fucks me up
this post for merthur still FUCKS ME UP by @camelotsheart
THE EYES. THE GIFSET’S BEAUTIFUL COLORING. THE EYES. EYES. I CANT. THIS GIFSET HAUNTS ME. parallels, man, i fucking love them.
☕️ + send me a ship/character/movie/book and ill give you my opinions on it
my opinions on morgwen:
I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I SHIP IT WITH MY WHOLE ASS SOUL. dude, their potential as a ship is incredible😭i fucking love them together. i wrote them as a side pairing in my first multi-chapter merthur fic and i adored writing their interactions and dynamic sm. if morgana was going to be with anyone, my first choice will always be gwen. i also read them as a pairing in fics all the time because the pure power-couple potential is insane.
hot ☕️ here™️: i think if someone was to bring morgana back from the brink of hatred, it should have been gwen (not merlin). so, like, i could definitely see merlin telling her about his magic and whatnot and maybe that would have stopped her from going dark side...but...i didn’t think merlin should have (ekk probably an unpopular opinion).
see, i love merlin with my entire heart..and tbh telling uther fucking pendragon’s ward that he had magic was just too much of a gamble—especially with arthur’s life on the line, which literally became merlin’s sole purpose in life (another matter for a different essay™️). i understand his need to keep it a secret from her even more when the large reptile repeatedly got into merlin’s head that she was bad news from the jump (also another matter for a different essay™️).
SO. that leaves two options for our miserable magical gal: arthur or gwen. now, i honestly believe arthur wouldn’t have hurt her if he was told. and i even think he may have became more sympathetic to the magical community because of it—especially when he saved mordred wayyyy early on that cemented the fact that arthur was not uther. but i can also understand why morgana wouldn’t tell arthur, and it’s pretty much the same reason merlin didn’t tell her about his magic: the risk was too big and she didn’t want to gamble her life with an unknown reaction.
now we get to the main point: gwen would have been the best option for her. whether it is platonic or not, gwen was always there for morgana. gwen is such a kind, loving soul, and she deeply respected and adored morgana—you can tell by the way she smiled around her in the beginning seasons, how she would get her flowers, how she would worry about morgana’s wellbeing. even though gwen was morgana’s servant, she cared for her in more ways than were required and it showed. they were best friends. the entire incident with gwen’s father, which was horrendous, might be the reason gwen would be rightfully upset about the subject of magic; however. she knew her father wasn’t magical, she knew uther was a tyrant, and she knew morgana’s heart. someone is gonna tell me that if morgana had explained to gwen what happened, how her magic was innate, how morgana would never fucking choose to have magic anywhere near her shithead guardian (who probably would have killed her imo if he knew bc you know the whole “fire will purify” bullshit), that gwen would hate her??? I MEAN LITERALLY WATCH THE LAST EPISODES AGAIN. when QUEEN GWEN realizes that the whole time it was merlin saving everyone’s asses, and she connected all the dots, her face showed nothing but pure understanding and acceptance.
gwen was such an underused character. her fucking potential arcs could have been phenomenal (again, LOL, another matter for a different essay™️), and the way canon made morgana use gwen was fucking gross and im not a fan🙃 but fuck canon. i ship them and i love them to pieces ✌🏻thank you for coming to my talk✌🏻
my opinions on manon mf blackbeak:
oh boy, where do i start? i would die for her...is that too extreme for the starting place? i fucking LOVE manon blackbeak dude. oh my god, so, remember when her and aelin fought for the first time in QoS? i remember jumping up from my lounging position with my hand over my smiling mouth because i love both of these badass hardcore women with everything i am. i mean, aelin owns my ass (she is probably my favorite character of all time rn) but manon hits differently. her storyline at the beginning was so bleh, but, man, did it escalate fast to “holy shit” to “i fucking love her” to “oh fuck im sobbing.”
the only thing i will complain about with her character in canon was the fact that my girl was straight???? excuse me?? she has been alive for fucking forever and she is straight? no. i cant accept that. tbh i ship manon and elide🥺 (i also ship dorain and chaol oops). but her character development was everything and i cant think too long on what happens because i will start crying tbh sksjsmakks
okay wow im so sorry for, uh, spilling every thought i had into this. it legit took me like a day to respond 😔
i appreciate you so much. thank you🥺💞

BLOG IS A WIP. DANNY POPE OF SIDNEY LUMET’S RUNNING ON EMPTY (1988). TREAT HIM LIKE MY OWN OC :) IT’S ME, INK, BACK AT IT W ANOTHER ( OLD AS FUCK ) BLOG. I DON’T FOLLOW FIRST. SUPER-OLD DOC IS LINKED ABOVE IN THE BOLDED.
ok film summary for those who haven’t seen it ( aka everyone )
when danny was 2 yrs old his parents were involved in a anti-vietnam war protest that involved burning down a lab w a bunch of other ‘ radicals ’. no one was supposed to be there but a janitor was & :( was blinded in one eye. since then they’ve been on the run ‘cause the gov’t wants them to pay for what they did
the film opens w danny as richard mcnally noticing the gov’t has found them again
the family immediately bounces, leaving THEIR DOG BEHIND >:( & changing their names, hair colour, & town
u find out danny’s super good at piano
they move to jersey ( & arguably to princeton, new jersey - their original home ), & theres like shots of danny changing their number plates & arthur finding them new identities from obituaries etc
danny starts school as michael manfield & it’s very quick that he’s super into classical music & a fucken prodigy. he also takes home ec ‘cause he needs to take 2 electives
his first music class is awkward bc he recognises a beethoven piece but not madonna’s new single lucky star, & his music teacher immediately recognises his talent & invites danny over to play his piano some time
the next day danny skips school bc it’s picture day - can’t risk having his picture taken !!!! - & goes to the teacher’s house to play piano. he meets the teacher’s daughter, lorna, n its love at first sight thank u. she’s super snarky to his quiet sensitivity n i lov them
the next day the teacher is like ‘ um i didnt mean u can break in2 my house thats criminal behaviour ’ & danny is just 👁👄👁
danny & lorna are paired up for home ec & everyone thinks its hilarious that a boy is learning how to bake
danny n lorna hit it off, he asks her on a walk w him, he invites her to his mum’s bday party, they have a deep convo w/o actually revealing anything abt danny , it’s cute
blah blah blah, lorna shows up to annie’s bday party & gives her a little shell necklace she made & the popes love her immediately
danny walks her home & they make out but stop short of having sex bc danny doesn’t want to do that when he’s lying to her bc she thinks his name is michael & everything she knows abt him is a lie
lorna doesn’t , like this rejection & is v upset abt it. she ignores him the next day at school
danny cant sleep bc hes so torn up abt this that he sneaks into her room because ‘ u wouldn’t talk to me ’ in the middle of the night & convinces her to go into the woods w him & he spills everything because ‘ i didn’t know what to do but i love u ’ & lorna cries bc of the weight he’s been carrying & they have sex & now he has another secret but lorna can share it
danny sneaks back home but arthur’s up & is just ‘ are u sleeping w her ’ & when danny nods arthur’s just ‘ i like her ’. earlier in the film we see arthur has his own issues abt this life
UM --- danny’s teacher says he should apply for juilliard bc hes that talented ; danny doesn’t let his parents kno bc they would never allow it as trying to produce school transcripts would blow their cover ; he’s a fucken genius n the school wants him
the teacher reaches out to annie to talk abt danny & the school & she’s just :O bc she had 0 idea he’d done that, but then it turns out danny got his talent from annie & she regrets never having like , taken her talent that seriously / focused on uni, & she doesn’t want him to make the same mistakes
there’s scenes where she’s talking to arthur abt it, & danny asks arthur if he can stay, & annie reaches out to her father who she hasn’t seen in fifteen years & lets him know abt the situation & ‘ surprise we have another kid too now ’ & asks if he would take danny in
the gov’t closes in on them so danny says goodbye to lorna bc he’s never gonna see her again. it’s very heartbreaking
surprise ! his grandfather has agreed to take danny in & the popes are gonna leave but danny’s gonna stay & danny is equal parts thrilled but also devastated bc who knows when they’ll see each other again & that’s where the film ends :)
little things i didn’t add : u hear throughout abt other radicals they were with being caught ; arthur finds out his mum died of cancer ; one of the radicals who had a thing for annie finds them again & is all chummy & turns out he stole a credit card from someone at annie’s new work ( dental assisstant, arthur’s a chef ) & that’s how the gov’t cottoned on to where they were. this film is very much a character based film rather than a plot-based film & if u wanna cry just watch the last scene , whew. the timeline in the movie is unclear, but it’s clearly a decent chunk of the school year.

what song do you associate with each muse?
okay so this took me forever lol, and i didn’t do it for ardyn, hannibal or blaine bc i ended up getting tired of looking for songs, but... here you go. i also put the parts of the lyrics to each song that i associate with each muse underneath the cut, for those who might be interested in why i picked the songs i picked. anyways, here goes:
ARTHUR FLECK: smile - jimmy duranteJOHN DOE: down with the sickness - disturbedJACE HUNTER: monster you made me - pop evilJOHN WINCHESTER: hurt - johnny cashNEGAN: hail to the king - avenged sevenfoldEDWARD NYGMA: numb - the cover version by jonathan youngJAMES GORDON: healing begins - tenth avenue northHARLEY QUINN: i’m gonna show you crazy - bebe rexhaSEAN MACGUIRE: my old man - zac brown bandARTHUR MORGAN: running gun - marty robbinsDAMON SALVATORE: whiskey fever - dorothy
ARTHUR FLECK: smile - jimmy durante
smile though your heart is aching, smile even though it's breakingwhen there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by. if you smile through your fear and sorrow. smile, and maybe tomorrow you'll see the sun come shining through, for you. light up your face with gladness, hide every trace of sadness, although a tear may be ever so near. that's the time you must keep on trying. smile, what's the use of crying? you'll find that life is still worth while, if you just smile.
JOHN DOE: down with the sickness - disturbed
it seems what's left of my human side is slowly changing in me (will you give in to me?) looking at my own reflection, when suddenly it changes, violently it changes. there is no turning back now, you'vewoken up the demon in me.
get up, come on get down with the sickness, open up your hate, andlet it flow into me. get up, come on get down with the sickness. madness is the gift, that has been given to me.
i can see inside you, the sickness is rising, don't try to deny what you feel (will you give in to me?) it seems that all that was good has died, and is decaying in me.
JACE HUNTER: monster you made me - pop evil
take a good look at me now, do you still recognize me? am i so different inside? this world is trying to change me. and i admit i don't want to change with it, and i admit i can't go on like this anymoreerase this monster i've become. forgive me for all the damage done. it's not over, say it's not over. i'm begging for mercy, i’monly the monster you made me.i'm better alone now. see i'm torn from my mistakes. and i stop believing that i could ever make things change. how much can i take, when i know that it hurts you? how long can i wait, when icant go on like this anymore?because who i am isn't who i used to be. and i'm not invincible,i'm not indestructible. i'm only human. can't you see the beauty in me?take a good look at me now, can't you see i've changed?
JOHN WINCHESTER: hurt - johnny cash
i hurt myself today, to see if i still feeli focus on the pain, the only thing that's realthe needle tears a hole, the old familiar stingtry to kill it all away, but i remember everything
what have i become, my sweetest friendeveryone i know, goes away in the endand you could have it all, my empire of dirti will let you down, i will make you hurt
NEGAN: hail to the king - a7x
watch your tongue or have it cut from your head. save your life by keeping whispers unsaid. children roam the streets now orphans of war. bodies hanging in the streets to adore. royal flames will carve a path in chaos, bringing daylight to the night. death is riding in to town with armor. they come to take all your rights.
hail to the king, hail to the one. kneel to the crown, stand in the sun. hail to the king.
blood is spilled while holding keys to the throne. born again but it’s too late to atone. no mercy from the edge of the blade. dare escape and learn the price to be paid. let the water flow in shades of red now. arrows black out all the light. death is riding in to town with armor. they come to grant you your rights.
there's a taste of fear, when the henchmen call. iron fist to tame them iron fist to claim it all
EDWARD NYGMA: numb - linkin park cover by jonathan young
i'm tired of being what you want me to be, feeling so faithless, lost under the surface. don't know what you're expecting of meput under the pressure of walking in your shoes. every step that i take is another mistake to you
i've become so numb, i can't feel you there. become so tired, so much more aware, i'm becoming this. all i want to do, is be more like me and be less like you
can't you see that you're smothering me. holding too tightly, afraid to lose control? 'cause everything that you thought i would be has fallen apart right in front of you. every step that I take is another mistake to you. and every second I waste is more than I can take
and i know i may end up failing too. but i know you were just like me with someone disappointed in you
JAMES GORDON: healing begins - tenth avenue north.
so you thought you had to keep this up. all the work that you doso we think that you're good. and you can't believe it's not enough.all the walls you built up are just glass on the outside
so let 'em fall down. there's freedom waiting in the sound, when you let your walls fall to the ground, we're here now
this is where the healing begins, oh this is where the healing starts.when you come to where you're broken, within the light meets the dark.
afraid to let your secrets out. everything that you hide can comecrashing through the door now. but too scared to face all your fear, so you hide, but you find that the shame won't disappear
sparks will fly as grace collides with the dark inside of us. so please don't fight this coming light. the light meets the dark.
HARLEY QUINN: i’m gonna show you crazy - bebe rexha
there's a war inside my head, sometimes i wish that i was dead.i'm broken, so i called this therapist and she said, "girl, you can't be fixed, just take this"i'm tired of trying to be normal, i'm always over-thinking. i'm driving myself crazy. so what if i'm fucking crazy?
and i don't need your quick fix. i don't want your prescriptions. just'cause you say i'm crazy, so what if i'm fucking crazy? yeah, i’m gonna show youloco, maniac, sick bitch, psychopath, yeah, i'm gonna show you, i’mgonna show you. yeah, i'm gonna show you mental out my brain, bat shit, go insane, yeah, i'm gonna show you
i've been searching city streets trying to find the missing piece like you said. and i searched hard only to find there's not a single thing that's wrong with my mind.
SEAN MACGUIRE: my old man - zac brown band
he was a giant when i was just a kid. i was always tryingto do everything he did. i can still remember every lesson he taught me, growing up learning how to be like my old man
he was a lion, we were our father's pride, but i was defiant, when he made me walk the line. he knew how to lift me up, and when to let me fall. looking back, he always had a planmy old man, my old man
feel the callous on his hands and dusty overalls. my old man, now i finally understand i have a lot to learn from my old man.
my old man, i know one day we'll meet again, as he's looking down. my old man, i hope he's proud of who i ami'm trying to fill the boot of my old man. my old man
ARTHUR MORGAN: running gun - marty robbins
i rode out of kansas city, going, south to mexico. i was, running dodging danger, left the girl that i loved so. far behind lay kansas city and the past that i had earned. twenty notches on my six gun marked the lessons i had learned.
many times i sold my fast gun for a place to lay my head. till the nights began to haunt me by the men that i lay dead. couldn't stand it any longer with the life that i'd begun, so I, said good-bye to jeannie and became a running gun. i rode into amarillo as the sun sank in the west, my thoughts in kansas city and the girl that i love best. as i smiled and kissed her gently and then turned around to go, said i'd send for her to meet me when i reached old mexico. i had barely left the saddle and my foot just touched the ground, when a cold voice from the shadows told me not to turn around.said he knew about my fast gun, knew the price paid by the law. challenged by a bounty hunter, so i turned around to draw.
i knew someday i'd meet him for his hand like lightning flashed, my own gun stayed in leather as his bullet tore it's path. as my strength was slowly fading, i could see him walk away, and i knew that where i lie today, he too must lie some day. now my strength is slowly fading and my eyes are growing dim, and my thoughts return to jeannie and the home that we had planned. oh please tell her won't you mister that she's still the only one, but a woman's love is wasted when she loves a running gun.
DAMON SALVATORE: whiskey fever - dorothy
woah mama don't you leave me alone, no tellin' what i'll do on my own. woah mama there's a pit in my soul, so deep i gotta fill it up now, fill it up now, fill it up now.whiskey whiskey whiskey fever, you're my evil, you're my evilwhiskey whiskey whiskey fever, you're my evil, you're my evil love
woah mama can't you say that i'm wrong, bad habits been busting my bones. hell mama’s gonna swallow me whole, god knows i gotta fill it up now, fill it up now, fill it up now.

that’s AMBROSIUS GAMAL walking down the street, the 36 year old, who looks like rami malek. here in apple peak, they are a shop-owner. some say he acts like merlin from the sword in the stone, since he can be ingenious, but also a little bit scatter-brained. — jen.
LOVE OF MY LIIIIIIIFE
exteriors
rami malek’s general demeanour à la ahkmenrah in night at the museum: the dark humour that he doesn’t know is dark and he also knows almost everything and speaks a lot of languages and can be super posh when he wants to be
he also dances wildly
will dance whenever there’s good music
and then ofc the freddie mercury voice with the “darlings” and the “look at me and ask if i care” kind of attitude to ppl who sass him
but ambrosius doesn’t let a lot of things faze him
he looks so wise, he’s got that thousand-mile gaze and thousand-watt smile and like how can you not love him
his family moved from egypt in the 70s, to APPLE PEAK actually, this is where his family lived for a few years before moving to new york for mr gamal’s new job !
he has a history with artie !!
his father is a hotel manager of one of the kim family’s hotels in manhattan
being about 10 years older than artie, when ambrosius was younger, he would babysit him and play with him sometimes, as the gamals lived in one of the suites of the hotel
however, after graduating high school, ambrosius practically disappeared as he went to study abroad
for university, he went overseas to Australia, seeking warmer climates (cue ambrosius wearing a lot of gaudy tourist shirts) and studied a bachelor of arts, and then his masters and a PhD in Humanities (man loves to study)
he owns a store: DR AFALLON’S (yes pronounced like ‘avalon’)
he plays ‘dr afallon’ while in the store
dresses like a dumbledore-ish wizard, though on halloween he likes to dress like dracula
its basically like ‘dr cerberus’ in the chilling adventures of sabrina: its a rare-book shop and has a little area for sitting down and eating/drinking, and then there’s a corner in the back for occult things
occult things are mainly to order, though he has tarot cards and stones and other artefacts on display.
people can apply to work for him !! it’s quite a small store but it’s like a little family and very homey
he lives in a cottage in the woods! its in the outskirts of town, and he drives an old volkswagen beetle that’s a manual transmission and doesn’t rly go above 50mph
he rly needs it to get fixed but he cant figure out mechanics that well, he just kinda talks to it and hopes that’ll be enough
what is technology ?? he LOVES it but it doesnt come naturally to him AT ALL
he misses his magic plates and objects bc they were his friends :(((
so he has names for all of his belongings
his house basically looks like the house in sword in the stone: books everywhere, knick-knacks and doodads everywhere
HE’S A HOARDER
he loves to remember everyone’s names
he also tutors sometimes and does the odd guest lecture on his specialisations (history, literatures, and architecture sometimes)
BELIEVES THAT EVERYONE SHOULD LEARN WHAT THEY WANT
“THE UNIVERSITY CURRICULUM IS TOO RESTRICTIVE”
likes to use his full name, but doesn’t mind it when people nickname him. he’ll always introduce himself as ambrosius tho hbgdkrjh
HE HAS ARCHIMEDES.
there’s just a very well-trained owl in the shop
no one asks questions about it
“oh ya thats archimedes” *annoyed hoot*
interiors
eccentric, shameless, just wants to have a good time tbh
gets tired a lot, considers himself an old man still
“there, you see?! i’m an ugly, horrible, grouchy old man!!”
he was super grouchy originally and he’s trying hard not to be grouchy now lmfao but dont annoy him or he’ll like threaten to CURSE you and you dont know if he’s joking or not
he has no magic ,but there’s the power of psychology
will not put up with anything that annoys him
REALLY A NICE GUY THO
HE REMEMBERS HIS PAST !!!!
the ‘deal’ he made with whoever sent them all to this reality meant that he could remember his past and remember arthur and his court – as long as he didn’t interfere with mortal affairs
he’s doing his best to not do this
he’s like Gandalf: “I was BARELY involved” (aka he lowkey was)
he has a history with artie !!
his father is a hotel manager of one of the kim family’s hotels in manhattan
being about 10 years older than artie, when ambrosius was younger, he would babysit him and play with him sometimes, as the gamals lived in one of the suites of the hotel
however, after graduating high school, ambrosius practically disappeared as he went to study abroad
for university, he went overseas to Australia, seeking warmer climates (cue ambrosius wearing a lot of gaudy tourist shirts) and studied a bachelor of arts, and then his masters and a PhD in Humanities
MORE ABOUT REMEMBERING HIS PAST:
he feels like such an old man, he feels like he’s lived eternities and he remembers everything and sometimes it can get so overwhelming, which is why he always surrounds himself with as much new life as possible.
ambrosius loves the little trivial things, like board games and souvenirs and tiny musical instruments, because the little things make him happy and remind him why he’s still doing this
as powerful as he was, and as ancient as he is, he can get tired.
but he knows why he’s here: he must protect Arthur, he must protect his people, and the residents of apple peak have become his people too now.
he’s very much a neutral grey person – he’s not someone who believes in absolutes, he believes in the lessons of the past, the actions of the moment, and the possibilities of the future.
he remembers his ‘real’ past with a lot of love, but knows that they will probably never return. so he is super grateful for the history and life he’s had here -- and hopes that he can make the world a better place with the little he can do for it
languages he speaks: arabic (from his childhood here), cantonese, mandarin (learning), korean, japanese, french, spanish, ancient greek...the list goes on honestly...

just talking to myself, not coherent yet just some musing
i’ve read in at least two places during my recent barrie reading (between his speeches + letters) about barrie referencing/saying how before he got into journalism (and then thus literature) and stuff he thought/was afraid he was gonna have to work as a clerk back home for like the rest of his life or w/e
which makes me think of george darling, man stuck in an unfulfilling job as a clerk. and wondering if there’s a significant connection to that (why not). i mean, after all, george darling has a lot more in common with barrie than arthur llewelyn davies, the father of the llewelyn davies boys and the patriarch of the family the darlings take much inspiration from. and obv there’s a connection (~foil related stuff) between george and peter and hook and obv a connection between barrie&peter + barrie&hook, so it makes sense george would have a lot of barrie in him too. BUT I DIGRESS
so like, george is barrie in an au, where he doesn’t become a writer and becomes a clerk (in london). so while he has that unfulfilled job and feeling of something lacking, he does have a happy marriage and children -- and while barrie took care of kids and were very close to them, i think that was always something he wished to have or wanted, to be a real father and not a(n ‘inferior’) substitute. so you lose some, but you win some in this trade off.
hook, i think, is barrie now [or now when it was being written]. except, you know, more villainous. i don’t think hook is literally barrie in a straight up allegory way, but that parts of him are definitely drawn from barrie, or at least a certain aspect of barrie. the melancholic depressive moods of his seem not unsimilar. and then there’s this stuff:
With Peter surely at last removed from his path we, who know how vain a tabernacle is man, would not be surprised to find him bellied out by the winds of his success, but it is not so; he is still uneasy, looking long and meaninglessly at familiar objects, such as the ship's bell or the Long Tom, like one who may shortly be a stranger to them.
All mortals envy me! Yet better, perhaps, for Hook to have had less ambition. Oh fame! Fame! Thou glittering bauble, in searching for thee what fame have I not lost.
the first thing could be like, representative of like, literally what was happening. like, how the play is going on and he should feel proud of its success but he cant help feeling broody. and the second thing could be a just in general thing. he’s a famous writer, looked at as a genius, but he’s always been aware (at least for a long time) of something lacking in him.
expansion in the novel
Hook trod the deck in thought. O man unfathomable. It was his hour of triumph. Peter had been removed for ever from his path, and all the other boys were on the brig, about to walk the plank. It was his grimmest deed since the days when he had brought Barbecue to heel; and knowing as we do how vain a tabernacle is man, could we be surprised had he now paced the deck unsteadily, bellied out by the winds of his success?
But there was no elation in his gait, which kept pace with the action of his sombre mind. Hook was profoundly dejected.
He was often thus when communing with himself on board ship in the quietude of the night. It was because he was so terribly alone. This inscrutable man never felt more alone than when surrounded by his dogs. They were socially so inferior to him.
aside from the socially inferior part, bc obv barrie never cared about that. but the brooding and that feeling of being alone? barrie certainly had episodes of that.
etcetcetcetcetcetc
and maybe one of the takes on peter is what he wants to be?
[incomplete rambling; mostly here to help sort my thoughts out]

merlin s2 ep10 sweet dreams
holy shit guys it’s been a while. things have been crazy with me. if you want details you could always follow me on twitter and instagram (@tlcyellow) (plug plug plug). the short version is, i finished up my third semester of school, moved to a new apartment, had a two week break where i went home and many adventures, and now i’m back in nyc and starting my fourth semester tomorrow. i want to give a shoutout to my mutual bearwithoutpaws for messaging me and saying they enjoyed my merlin posts and wanted them back. i really appreciate your support and i’m sorry i’ve been away so long!! ALSO some of my posts are missing??????? a lot of my season 2 posts have mysteriously disappeared from my blog? i didn’t delete them and i don’t know where they are lmao. it is a true mystery. if anyone has any ideas on how to recover them please let me know. okay with that ridiculously long intro out of the way, lets get back into it (if i remember how to do this)
- damn bradley james is fine. how could i have ever left him
- they are having some sort of peace conference thing in camelot and there’s this grumpy ass dude whose trying to end the peace talks and he’s going to use lady vivian (a woman we’ve never seen before) as part of his plan. she’s super pretty and arthur helped her off her horse so they’re probably gonna do it by the end of the episode
- okay jk vivian is a spoiled ass bitch and i hate her
- vivian’s dad’s name is olaf. like the snowman. frozen has ruined that name forever.
- arthur is now trying to pretend to merlin that he doesn’t have the hots for gwen which is weird because he only really knows two women and one of them is basically his sister so his options for love are limited
- katie mcgrath???? the queen of my heart
- okay so the evil man’s plan is to make arthur fall in love with vivian through magic. hasn’t this exact thing happened to arthur already?? have they run out of ideas already?
- arthur and merlin are trying to woo vivian and they’re like “um?? feelings??? girls??? i know not the name” and it’s like, we get it, yall are too gay to figure out what to do with women
- ohNO WAIT there has been a classic sitcom-style misunderstanding. arthur is enchanted and talking to merlin about wooing vivian but they don’t mention names so merlin thinks he’s talking about gwen so he brings flowers and a love note to gwen instead of vivian. yikes
- oh my god arthur knocks on vivians door and she’s like “whos there?” and hes like “its destiny my love!!!” which is cringe-y enough and then he looks at what he has in his hands and says “its destiny and chicken”. even under the influence of literal magic arthur doesn’t know how to talk to women
- okay so vivian rejects arthur because shes a brat and the evil man is like “i don’t get it!!! everyone in the world is attracted to this boy. i’m almost attracted to him myself” and then he like has a small orgasm and his jester has no clue what to do
- arthur is full of melancholy and hes leaning his head on his horse in the most dramatic and emo fashion
- vivian has now been enchanted to fall in love with arthur and she has come to his bedroom and is sniffing his pillows and rolling around in his bed like a crazy person
- the jester has told vivians snowman dad that vivian is in arthurs bedroom but merlin has her unconscious and hidden in a closet. so olaf comes in all pissed and is like “I HEARD VIVIANS IN HERE” and arthurs like “damn i wish. shes fine as hell!!!” (im paraphrasing) which is not a thing you say to any girl’s father ever.
- gwen is now sending a love note to arthur which is super awkward since he’s still enchanted and in love with vivian and im afraid she’s going to get her heart broken :(
- OHNO SHE DIDN’T SIGN HER NAME SO ARTHUR THINKS ITS VIVIAN. this is a mess
- arthur has crawled up into vivians window and gwen is waiting in her house and arthur isnt coming ahhh this is so sad
- ohboy olaf walked in on vivian and arthur making out and olaf has challenged arthur to combat and gwen is brokenhearted
- DAMN MORGANA ALWAYS LOOKS SO GOOD
- okay so arthur is all enchanted and olaf breaks one of his ribs and arthurs like “im fine gaius. IM IN LOVE!!!!!!”
- okay merlin visits the unhelpful dragon who is actually relatively helpful in this situation and he tells him merlin has to find the person arthur truly loves and get her to kiss him which is handy bc gwen exists but what if she didn’t? merlin would have to make out with him i guess.
- gwen and arthur are kissing!!!! she broke the enchantment and now arthurs like “where am i?? why is my rib broken??” and gwen’s like “youre in a fight to the death. no time to explain. head on out there buddy good luck”
- so arthur almost kills olaf and then is like “this is no way to achieve peace” and olaf just??? forgives him??? and forgets he was trying to fuck his daughter????
- so after all that gwen is like “we cant be together” B I T C H you were so ready to get with him twenty minutes ago what the heck
- wait wait wait no one unenchanted vivian!!!!!!!! she’s gonna be hung up on arthur for the rest of her goddamn life
next episode: the witch’s quickening

oh my god dude
im gonna put this under a cut bc this is a lot. this is a ride, have fun i guess
1. Your first OC ever?god. its got to be Super Kitty. when i was like … an incredibly small child I used to draw comic strips about this feline caped crusader, who was friends with everyone in the city, and the comics always involved him stopping an evil banana man from stealing money from the local bank. He was paid with donuts for his service to the city. i still remember how to draw him.
2. Do you have a personal favourite among your OCs?i’d get arrested if I didn’t answer this with Bronze, probably… but really, they’re very important to me
3. Have you ever adopted a character or gotten a character from someone else?man, i cant remember! i really dont think i have… P:
4. A character you rarely talk about?there’s loads of characters ive never even posted a single picture of on tumblr, i wouldnt even know where to start asdf
5. If you could make only one of your OCs popular/known, who would it be? bronze is the easy answer, but… i guess that could also go to Servant or Westrin. Servant has a comic project in the works that basically stars him, sort of a series of one-shots about the things he’s experienced, i feel like that would be a good thing to take off and run with. Westrin’s just fun as hell, i love the guy.
6. Two OCs of yours that look alike despite not being related?real talk now… there’s at least five different characters that i refer to as a whole as “bronze-tangential”, who started out as, “what would bronze be like if they were in this world?” and then becoming their own thing within said world because i just get stupid attached
its an epidemic
7. Are your OCs part of any story or stories?nearly all of them, actually. that’s the main reason i make characters, after all! too many to really go into specifics here, again P:
8. Do you RP as any of your OCs? If you do, introduce one of your RP OCs here!not often, but i think Bronze and Westrin are the most common ones. unless playing a character in dnd, or running an npc in dnd counts… then a whole lot more hahaha
9. Would you ever be willing to give any of your OCs to someone else?it depends on the circumstances. i don’t really like the idea, though.
10. Introduce an OC with a complicated design? Westrin’s old getup is a pain to draw, and there was one other design i did that I cant find anywhere… whichever way, i dont often tend to draw super complicated things often
a couple fakemon ive designed though… heheh those can get pretty finicky
11. Is there any OC of yours you could describe as a “sunshine”? hmmmmmmmm my immediate thought was Eric Silverdale from a comic i was working on a few years ago. hes a darling, i want him to be my friend irl
12. Name an OC that isn’t yours but who you like a lothow could you do this to me i love each and every one of all my friends ocs GOD the first one who comes to mind is @d20-official‘s Smith, whos Bronze’s friend… everyone in that DND party actually
13. Do you have any troublemaker OCs? Rated on a scale from “harmless” to “honestly somewhat frightening”: -Baromet (charming and quite friendly but definitely a kleptomaniac),-Westrin (demigod of bards and travelers), -XEN09 (a nonsense hacker), -Conny (needlessly contrarian and dumb as HELL), -Enza Colie (long fucking story but hes a good-for-nothing), -Hemlocke (mad scientist, chaotic evil), -Iris (AI and hacker, VERY bad), -The Terminus (glitch-in-the-matrix demon, chaotic evil), -and Sydd (the Queen of the Faeries, hopefully the danger there needs no explaining :’D)
14. Introduce an OC with a tragic backstory Mmm… there’s a few of them, most obviously Lent (whose background I did a short comic about). Basically his entire town got eaten by ghosts and turned into zombies, he only barely survived with a sliver of his soul left.
15. Do you like to talk about your OCs with other people?yes, i often discuss storylines and such with friends
16. Which one of your OCs would be the best at biology (school subject)? Probably Bronze’s dad! I don’t talk about him much, but his name’s Devon Reed, and he was a biotech developer specialising in android design.
I often describe him as being something of a reverse Arthur Weasley - a very fatherly scientist fascinated to the moon and back with the concept of magic.
17. Any OC OTPs? having trouble thinking of a lot of them right now, but there’s Eric + Lent & Naiadine + Tailias from Emerald Sigil, Avken + Baromet from my space campaign world, Sydd + Wyvv from my unnamed campaign world, and I’ve been considering Westrin + Servant as an interesting dynamic in Servant’s story
18. Any OC crackships? My character Bismuth and @autistictimeknight‘s oc Eros. Theyre so fucking in love, I love it. Its been awhile but I do still think about them sometimes.
As I recall, Eros is an empath, she can read other people’s emotions. But Bismuth is a robot, and Eros can’t read her. Because of this Eros can let go of her fear of unintentionally manipulating the emotions of her date, which would hold her back from most other relationships.
19. Introduce an OC that means a lot to you (and explain why)Hey, meet Bronze! I definitely do not talk about them every five minutes, why would you say that.
Bronze was with me through two of the hardest years of my life so far, and being a DND character they grew with me, both as a fighter and as a person. They were non-binary before I started using those pronouns, they were the first character or person or anything who I fought someone about using the right pronouns for, they make a great icebreaker for if I want to see how someone reacts to non-binary pronouns …
One funny anecdote about Bronze is that when I first made them, their “gimmick” was that they would sometimes glitch out and mess up their speech, mostly because I wanted an excuse not to engage in the roleplaying (which I was very bad at). The interesting thing is that as I got better at interacting with the group, we both grew out of needing it very quickly.
I’m very proud of Bronze.
20. Do any of your OCs sing? If they sing, care to share more details (headcanon voice, what kind of songs they like etc)?Westrin is a bard! His singing voice sounds like Bill Wurtz and these are his theme songs.
21. Your most artistic OCProbably Westrin again, he writes a lot of songs… and Hallux is a game designer?
22. Is there any OC of yours people tend to mischaracterize? If yes, how? I honestly dont know… no-one talks to me about them, haha!
people use all manner of pronouns for bronze, though.
23. Introduce OC that has changed from your first idea concerning what the character would be like?I’m gonna go with Enza for this one. Enza Colie was originally written entirely because I wanted an antagonist for a short starring his sister, Jane Colie. But the more I fleshed out his reasonings for acting how he did and explored his character, the more I realised he’d make an even more interesting character if allowed to have a redemption arc, too.
I just want to state for the record that I was very reluctant to the idea, and he basically dragged his way out of the villain pit entirely of his own accord. I am dubiously proud of him, and also a bit scared.
24. If you could meet one OC of yours, who would it be and why?Probably either Eric (Big Man, Best Friend), Crocus (Mother figure), Reed (Father Figure), Westrin (hed just make a good friend u kno??), or Bismuth (she makes good conversation!)
25. The OC that resembles you the most (same hobby, height, shared like/dislike for something etc?)probably the homestuck fan-troll Hallux, but that’s mostly because they were based on a troll-sona I made awhile ago. They’re a hope/prospit game designer who is small and full of rage and love
oh, and there’s dave! dave’s a superhero speedster, existing in a modern-day superhero version of seattle. theyre idiot, just like me,
26. Have you ever had to change your OC’s design or something else about them against your will? this is an interesting one… i don’t think ive ever had something Bad in a design ive done called to my attention by someone, but I did create my character Servant at around the same time I was first really expanding the diversity of my casts. (since i don’t talk about him often, a little context: he’s a magic spirit creature bound to human form to serve the royal family of the land and follow their orders.)
somehow, younger-and-more-stupid me managed to have the revelation that making this “eternal slave” character literally anything other than a white man, especially as a white author, would be Pretty Not Good. im … thats really, really not something i should pat myself on the back for, but i do consider it one of the biggest bullets dodged in my artistic career so far that i realised that not all representation is good representation so quickly, before i could make that incredibly, incurably stupid mistake.
after that, trying to make sure my characters and their presentations don’t harm anyone pretty much has become a paranoia. i don’t seem to have stepped on any toes yet, but when it inevitably happens, please let me know - i didnt know, and i want to fix it!
27. Any OCs that were inspired by a certain song? None that I can think of, actually! I don’t really do that often.
28. Your most dangerous OC? god damn it i have no idea!!! is it the terminus? glitch in the matrix god of chaos motherfucker?is it sarle? terrifying calculating scientist with the power of the soul at her fingertips ??? is it ares??? is it athena????? is it petra?????? the gatekeeper????
… actually, the gatekeeper might be it, if “dangerous” just refers to “the amount of raw power it can wield”. the Gatekeeper is a titanic entity that exists in interdimensional multiverse space, and its implied to have the ability to create and destroy entire universe bubbles at will. for what cosmic purpose, no-one knows.
at a more personal scale, though, literally all of the aforementioned characters are pretty bad to run into too.
29. Which one of your OCs would go investigate an abandoned house at night without telling anyone they’re going?god. Mina or Tawn. Tawn is the Indiana Jonesy type and probably dumb enough, but also competent enough not to get into too much trouble there. Mina would probably drag her friends along.
30. Which one of your OCs would most likely have a secret stuffed animal collection? XEN09. No-one knows, because no-one knows xir personal identity. Xe absolutely does, though. It’s less of a secret if you know xir in person, but good luck finding out about it otherwise.
31. Pick one OC of yours and explain what their tumblr blog would be like (what they reblog, layout, anything really)dave just reblogs memes all the time tbh. they like to keep tabs on the ridiculous superhero news going on, and they show human jokes and cat videos to their alien gf. they dont really post or add to posts, but they talk in tags a lot.
32. Which one of your OCs would be the most suitable horror game protagonist and why? i want to say tawn because i literally just realised ive been imagining their voice as sounding like luigi this entire fucking time and i never realised until this exact instant
33. Your shyest OC?probably baromet. they prefer to keep to themself in their hideout, with their collection of shiny things. they don’t really enjoy trying to communicate much, mostly because they expect to get yelled at.
34. Do you have any twin characters?Yes! At least two sets;
- Crocus and Sarle. (x) (x) They don’t exactly have a very well-developed relationship, but they are both quite important to the plot of my campaign world, and they are both very interesting. Crocus is a motherly figure who just exudes friendliness, while Sarle is .. very much not that, a researcher studying very gruesome things and pushing the boundaries of reality.
- Jane and Enza Colie. I haven’t talked a whole lot about either of them here, but I’d rather leave their story to do the talking whenever I get around to it. Essentially, the both of them were intended to do the dirty work for their crime boss family, but Jane ditched to study medicine. Most of the conflict between the two of them comes out of Enza not understanding why she made the choice she did, and coming to understand how he’s been manipulated.
35. Any sibling characters? I can’t really think of any off the top of my head, I should … I should really work on that.
I can talk about Westrin, though. Westrin (a demigod of many things, but namely bards, travel, travelers, and people who are lost) often becomes close friends with mortals, sometimes practically adopting them. These people who consider him family, and people who have received his blessing, are able to use his surname, Brilanta, as their own if they choose. So I guess all of the Brilantas are siblings, at least in spirit.
Oh, and XEN09 has like, seven siblings. Xe is the second-oldest, and least remarkable.
36. Do you have OC pairs where the other part belongs to someone else (siblings, lovers, friends etc)? I already talked about Eros and Bismuth up there a ways in question 18, but I’ll talk about another relationship here. @autistictimeknight‘s character, Nova the Alchemist, is mentor and adopted parental figure to my character Munna. Munna … Munna isn’t a very good apprentice. She tries very hard.
37. Introduce an OC who is not quite human That’s most of them, I’m not quite sure what to say here. Bronze is an android? Bronze again? Westrin? All the aliens ??
38. Which one of your OCs would be the best dancer? man. uh. westrin or jean. or perhaps valencia.
39. Introduce any character you want ??? uhhhHHHhhHHH Lord Brillium is the reigning deity of the Cloud Kingdoms in the other campaign setting I’m working on. They represent light and the quest for knowledge, and spend most of their days in the Cathedral Observatory watching the stars.
40. Any fond memories linked to your characters? Feel free to share!one time bronze flew a hover-bike through the stained glass window in a cathedral blaring all star by smash mouth on their iguana
also one time bronze rickrolled a rakshasa demon and then pulled updog on it like, two minutes later
another time bronze scared off an entire army by pretending to be an automated security system
41. Has anyone drawn fanart of your OCs? If yes, maybe show a picture or two here (remember sources & permissions!)ive got a whole little folder on here from all you blessed people !!!! right now ive got a drawing quinn did of one o fmy characters as my lockscreen
but i think the one i’ll really never ever get over is this piece of Jane, by @rabendraws / @owoltron:
(i bet you thought i forgot about this, dude. dude. think again.)
42. Which one of your OCs would be the most interested in Greek gods? this is kind of a weird question, m, I feel like Bismuth would find learning about the mythos utterly fascinating, as would Tawn.
43. Do you have any certain type when you create your OCs? Do you tend to favour some certain traits or looks? It’s time to confesshaha. uh. i might.
aside from the entire “bronze-tangential characters” thing i mentioned awhile back, I tend to really like designing characters with hair color lighter than their skin color. it just looks so cool man. i love drawing freckles but dont put them on enough characters. i like really curly hair, but also really long and flowy hair. i like drawing triangular body types, and pointy/prominent noses.
44. Something you like about your OCs in generaluhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is a really vague question. m. m.
45. A character you no longer use?there’s old versions of characters, but a lot of my older ones have been somehow repurposed. I guess there’s Turien, my first-ever DND character, who’s just kind of sitting dead now. Haven’t really done anything with him other than a pretty recent tangential character.
46. Has anyone ever told you that you treat your OCs badly?Not that I can think of.
47. Has anyone ever (friendly) claimed any of your OCs as their child? Im certain it’s happened, but I can’t remember any specific instances.
48. OC who is a perfect cinnamon roll, too good for this world, too pureSpring. spring knows nothing of th dangers of the world who is letting them into fights someon eneeds to stop this
(spring roll, hehe.)
49. Which one of your OCs would most likely enjoy memesim not sure what this question is asking since many of my ocs actively enjoy memes including but not limited to westrin, dave, bronze, xen09, iris, and doctor archersen
50. Give me the good ol’ OC talk here. Talk about anything you wanti think. i think im going to pass on this one. i gave you the good old oc talk. your damn turn, yall:
if you have any questions about any of these guys feel free to shoot one at me!
thats all from me im tired and its one am. techskylander you absolute madman

RELATIONSHIP / CONNECTIONS CALL ! / because everyone else seems on this band wagon so i thought , hey , why not ! i could always use more stuff for all my characters ! just hit that like or comment or just IM me if you’re interested in anything !
LINK : 22 , human ( prev . hylian ) , male , asexual .
ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP / OPEN : while i am partial to some loz ships ( particularly link/zelda but also link/midna & link/malon ) & would lean towards those if we got those characters , i’m also not against simply shipping link with someone he meets here if there’s good chemistry ! he’s ace , sexuality wise , but for sure demi romantic . he can fall hard for people he gets close to , male or female , he’ll get some massive heart eyes . plus , he’ll defend you on pain of death always if he has to .
PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS / OPEN : link is literally the softest boy & deserves all the friends i beg of you ! he’s extremely kind & very easy to befriend . literally if you’re just nice to him he’ll consider you a friend after like 5 seconds & would fight god with a stick for you if you asked .
ROWENA MACLEOD : 300+ ( appears roughly 40 ) , witch , female , pansexual . ( @evliskank )
ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP / OPEN : open , yes , but rowena is far more for playful flirting & meaningless flings . this doesn’t mean i’m against a serious relationship for her completely ! especially after this event as rowena will be losing memory of most of her life including when the man who would be crowley’s father broke her heart & caused her view of love as weakness . so , she won’t despise the thought of being in love . however , as her memories slowly come back she’ll become more callous towards it .
PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS / OPEN : want a powerful witch friend to gossip with ? say no more . rowena isn’t easy to befriend , however , but it’s not impossible . if you’re interested , we’ll work something out !
ENEMIES / OPEN : rowena makes a lot more unfriendly relationships than she does friends . if you guys want a rivalry that’d be awesome ! plus , we can even look into a frienemies kinda deal if you’re into that , too .
JESSE TURNER : 20 , cambion ( half human , half demon ) + the antichrist , male , homosexual . ( @anitchrist )
ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP / CLOSED : sorry , boys , the antichrist is taken ! or he will be . loey & i have a plotted ship to come for jesse & jack kline .
PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS / OPEN : jesse is pissy , emo , sarcastic , & a down right loner . . . please , force friendship on him . i’m especially here for him being befriended by someone who’s all sunshine & rainbows ! that dynamic would be great . plus , who doesn’t wanna be friends with the antichrist , am i right ?
ENEMIES / OPEN : it’s not like he means to make a lot , but jesse can be off putting to some people . particularly this is open to anyone who plays demons . jesse , though half demon , hates demonkind & thinks them pathetic & obnoxious . he wants them to leave him alone .
THE COLT : 183 ( appears roughly early 30s ) , human ( humanized gun ) , male , pansexual . ( @dustsanything )
ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP / OPEN : he’s still learning about being human & feelings like this but i’d be very entertained to see him in a relationship tbh . if you like cowboys who used to be literal guns & have a slight god complex then i’ve got good news !
PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS / OPEN : him & friends he makes are usually amusing . not much to say on it . . . but also if your character wants some protection i’d recommend him . he doesn’t play games in defending people he likes , usually , & he’s the most powerful gun in the world . he’s good to have on your side .
ENEMIES / OPEN : probably mostly for supernatural creatures , seeing as he’s sometimes salty towards them , & he’s whats made to kill them . plus , he’s a hitman it’s his job ! he’s bound to have made some enemies .
AZAZEL : 10,000+ ( appears around 50s ) , demon ( prince of hell ) ,�� male , pansexual . ( @yellweyes )
ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP / OPEN : uh . . . i mean i guess if you’re into . . . horrible asshole demons . don’t expect anything super healthy though .
PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS / OPEN : there are people who will amuse him & he’ll choose to spend time around them for that . doesn’t mean he cares much or he’ll do much for you . . . but he likes having friends for entertainment .
ENEMIES / OPEN : look he’s terrible he’ll make enemies with everyone .
OBI-WAN “BEN” KENOBI : 40 , human ( force sensitive ) , male , asexual . ( @jedirelic )
ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP / OPEN : it’s gonna be hard for him . especially seeing as he’s A. ace as hell & B. has the jedi code still very imprinted in his lifestyle . plus he’s just mega depressed from a lot . . . i will say , though , he can playfully flirt like no one’s business . there’s not much meaning ever behind it , but he thinks flirting is fun . he’s a master at flirting but has the romance skill of a bent spoon .
PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS / OPEN : god he’s so sad he needs friends again . all his friends are dead please befriend him he’s so so kind he’s just tired bc the world hurt him .
CAPTAIN JAMES KIRK : 27 , human , male , bisexual . ( @flvbov )
ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP / OPEN-ISH : i say ish because i’m . . . i’ve been playin lowkey but tbh spirk is everything to me & i’d die if we got a spock . but like i’ll think about it . . . he’ll flirt too he’s flirty . so flings are for sure something we can talk about or friends with benefits .
PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS / OPEN : he’s SUCH a good friend & he loves just having fun honestly ? he’s very interested in this place as it is 200 years in the past for him . he’s excitable & fun . kinda like a puppy .
MERLIN : 1,500+ ( appears mid - late twenties ) , sorcerer , male , bisexual . ( @magicitslf )
ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP / CLOSED : if yall don’t think him & arthur are endgame as all get out then i’ve news for you . merlin can be flirty , though ! he can be a saucy minx . i mean just watch the show he’s a dumbass but i’m pretty sure every character on that show was at least a little in love w/ merlin .
PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS / OPEN : be the sweet magic boy’s friend . if you’re earth , you’ve probably heard of merlin as arthurian legend is big too . also , this goes heavy for anyone with magic . looking at you , hp characters ! there’s also not a lot he wouldn’t do for his friends . OH ALSO WITH ANYONE WHO HAS A MUSE THAT’S A PERSONIFIED DRAGON ! bc ik there are some got dragons around . merlin is a dragon lord , basically he’s able to speak in the dragon tongue & can command dragons when he does & the cant disobey him . he loves them .
ENEMIES / OPEN : are you someone who uses magic for ill will ? guess what ! merlin isn’t going to like you . he’s also got strong opinions & a big mouth so if he doesn’t like something you’re doing you’ll know .
HENRY JEKYLL / EDWARD HYDE : 37 , human , male , heterosexual but this could change idk . ( @viceindulged )
ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS / OPEN : he’s married to science but he’s also a sweet man . . . well . henry is nice . scratch that , he’s kind of an absolute disaster of a human being but he’s trying his best . & then there’s hyde his counterpart who is . . . just plain terrible . for sure a ship with him would be angsty as all get out . he’s a bit terrified of loving people , what with hyde coming out on his own now .
PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS / OPEN : he needs some friends to support him . there’s also a million & ten plots we can draw up for them discovering about hyde & trying to help him through this because it’s driving him insane almost & tearing him apart . he just really needs some support . also if y’all have any sadistic muses ! you can also be friends with hyde !
ENEMIES / OPEN : when i say enemies i mean people who meet hyde before meeting jekyll . jekyll’s nice , doesn’t make a lot of people’s bad lists , but hyde is horrid . people who meet hyde can hate him & then it leads for a ton of confusion when meeting poor jekyll later & it has him deal with the repercussions as he’s always cleaning up hyde’s messes . enemies also work for people who end up befriending hyde also being enemies to jekyll . most people who are an enemy of one will be friend to another . there’s also the idea that someone thinks he’s just unstable & unsafe so he needs to go altogether .

BTS as Kingsman (Hoseok)
OKAY SO I HAD THIS WRITTEN AND MANAGED TO DELETE IT SO TECHNICALLY THIS ISN’T THE ORIGINAL I HAD IT’S A REWRITE BUT I’M NOT MAD AT IT?
-Umm insert a very smiley very innocent looking KILLER
-THATS HOSEOK
-Like he can sweep you off your feet
-Then he can sweep you off your feet LIKE BAM I JUST KICKED YOUR FEET OUT FROM UNDER YOU WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT
-But then you can’t do anything about it because you’re dead
-Oops
-But he’s not big on combat.
-Not that he can’t do it like he can do it but
-He’s more of a recruiter and intel kind of guy
-Codename: Gawain
-He doesn't have a favorite weapon since he tries to avoid combat and stuff but his favorite gadget is the really cool pen that comes with poison that can be activated at the flick of a switch but still works as a pen???? KINGSMAN SHIT IS COOL OKAY.
-Plus the fountain pen actually works and it’s handy for his secret notetaking
-So One day Tristan comes up to him and hes like ‘Arthur is sending me out for this mission but I need you to go do your thing and scout out this place and these people and come back and tell me all you know thanks.’
-And he just kinda stuffs his pen into the his suit pocket and he’s on his way.
-So according to the files tristan is gonna have to take out a corrupt country leader and all hoseok has to do really is check out how much security he has, who’s close to him, and what their best course of action is going to be.
-Sure he could just get close to the guy himself and use his pen poison but he doesn’t like getting to close to a target you know
-So here we are at some boring meeting where a few country leaders are discussing important things like trading and not firing missiles at each other you know the usual
-And Hoseok has been trailing behind this guy, Lee Junhyuk, Lee Somin’s father SURPRISE BITCHES they all tie in together
-Anyway, as Hoseok is trailing this guy he can’t help but notice an attractive young woman at his side and he’s curious bc how did she get there like is she his secretary but she’s so young she can’t be any older than him and wow so pretty.
-So he’s acquired his first real target. You. LOL SEE THERE YOU ARE. chilling with a corrupt leader whats new
-Halfway through the day there’s like a little lunch banquet thing for VIP’S and the only way to get in is with a vip pass and Hoseok realizes you have one but he doesnt so how is he going to get close oh no what a dilemma.
-Just kidding
-Hoseok uses the stun feature on his cool kingsman watch on some guy walking down an empty hall. Then he knocks him out cold. Ties him up and locks him in a random room.
-And suddenly he’s a VIP and he not only gets valuable information but he also gets a good lunch? The last time he ate a good lunch was like 2 weeks ago when Arthur treated everybody because they completed a mission without nearly exposing themselves.
-So Hoseok is sitting at a table hoping to get a little bit closer to you but umm
-He? Cant? Find? You?
-Cue contact with galahad at kingsman hq
-‘Galahad, i need you to find someone for me in this building’
-‘Who?’
-‘She’s a girl, has a vip badge, shes wearing a peach colored shirt with a black pencil skirt and shes constantly pulling it down like its too short and uncomfortable and her hair is down but she has like a small crown on her head and i want to know where she is and everything we currently know about her.’
-Galahad is just ??????? is this part of the mission or are you in love bc that’s been happening a lot lately
-‘Umm okay give me one second.’
-So Hoseok takes this opportunity to munch on his meal and look around at the other VIPS and sure enough there is Lee Junhyuk with a security guard on every side of him so 4 in total with him plus all the supposed hidden ones but you cant hide from Hoseok
-Like the guy that’s constantly talking into his sleeve and looking around suspiciously, good going dude.
-Or the guy that straight up said ‘being undercover security is so boring’ like everyone thinks spotting undercover guards is so hard but if you just listen for .2 seconds and observe you’ve got them all or maybe Hoseok has just perfected it who knows
-‘Alright Gawain I’ve got her on the fourth floor of the building. She’s eating by herself. Third door on the left. These files are telling me her name is F/N L/N, 22 years old. She’s the daughter of a King but they’re from a small country, that still makes her a princess though. But I don’t happen to see her father anywhere and I don’t think he’s even on the list of leaders that are supposed to be present.’
-‘Thanks Galahad. I’ll contact you if i need anything else’
-‘Hoseok...I’m reading into a few things and I’m gonna need you to tread lightly here. You get out of there if things go South.’
-Hoseok gives a thumbs up knowing the super techy kingsman glasses are transmitting everything back to Galahad.
-Its time to MEET! THIS! GIRL!!!!
-So Hoseok follows Galahad’s directions and he just so happens to ‘stumble’ into the same exact room you’re in
-You’re so startled when this guy walks in thatyou SPILL YOUR WHOLE DRINK ALL OVER YOURSELF GOSH DANG IT HOSEOK
-You make a really odd sound when the cold liquid seeps through the fabric of your clothes and onto your skin
-Hoseok blushes because he did not mean to scare you like that and it was totally an accident and oh my gosh what has he done your shirt is see through now!!!!
-‘I’m so so sorry.’ like the gentleman he is Hoseok shuts his eyes and immediately removes his suit jacket before blindly holding it out in hope that you’ll accept it.
-You’re a little reluctant but you also cant walk around with a see through shirt so you take the suit jacket and slip your arms throught the sleeves before buttoning it up.
-‘You can open your eyes now sir’
-Hoseok slowly opens his eyes just to be 100% positive you’re decent and he just burst into another fit of apologies because it was totally his fault and oh god the guys back at hq are probably laughing at him right now.
-‘Also sir is a bit much for me. I’m Hoseok the guy that just made you spill a whole glass of water on yourself. It’s a pleasure to meet you.’ Hoseok holds his hand out and you shake it before introducing yourself
-‘The pleasure is all mine. I’m Y/N.’
-‘Ah yes, the Princess of Elodea (lol this is a plant we’ve been using in my biology lab recently. Go bio majors!) right?
-Its your turn to blush because this handsome, charismatic gentleman knew who you were oh my gosh best day ever.
-‘Mhm. Soon to be Queen actually.’
-‘May I ask what you’re doing here by yourself, your highness?’
-‘Oh well...I just needed a minute to myself. Away from all of the politics and corrupt men and their ideas…’
-Hoseok notices the way you fiddle with your hands and avoid direct eye contact.
-‘Corrupt men you say? I don’t believe i’ve gotten the chance to converse with said men. Who might you be referring to?’
-You clear your throat as you slide the diamond ring on your finger on and off. Wow how did hoseok not notice that thing before oh my gosh.
-‘Umm my fiance. He’s very stubborn and I don’t think he really cares for these things. But I’m sure he’ll be a great...ruler to my people and when we unite our countries things will get better.’ You sounded like you were trying to convince yourself more than you were trying to convince Hoseok.
-‘What is your fiance’s name?’
-You look behind Hoseok at the door for a second before smiling
-“Lee Junhyuk”
-Hoseok is about to respond but Lee Junhyuk himself pushes him to the side before approaching you. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. THis OLD GUY with a daughter older than you was your fiance? Something was not right.
-‘Y/N! What happened to you? Has this man been harassing you? GUARDS! Remove this man immediately.’ You shy away from his touch as he tries to inspect you like some object to see if any damage has been done.
-‘No. no. I am alright. No need for the guards to come in and worry everyone. I spilled my drink you know clumsy me and he was just helping me by offering me his jacket so that I don’t walk around soaking wet.’
-Junghyuk is literally shooting death glares at Hoseok and he takes that as his cue to leave.
-‘I suppose I should be on my way then. It was a pleasure to meet you sir. Until next time’ Which should be SOON
-So Hoseok leaves that event with an uneasy feeling in the pit of his stomach like ehs so so so worried for you because you were definitely uncomfortable in there and he just had to leave you and oh my gosh Tristan was going to kill your fiance.
-Hoseok is back at hq later that night and he’s like hey guys we need to talk and the other guys just take their seats and the meeting starts lets go.
-‘Galahad there’s something youre not telling me’
-GALAHAD IS SWEATING BC A WORRIED UNHAPPY HOSEOK IS A SCARY HOSEOK.
-‘I was going to tell you but it would've ruined the mission…’
-‘FUCK THE MISSION SEOKJIN’
-Oh shIT hoseok just used galahad’s real name this is serious now
-‘This is about Y/N now. What aren’t you telling me and how are we going to help her?’
-‘So according to our files Y/N’s country was having financial issues up until a few months ago where they suddenly reported having more money than they’ve ever had. It was rumored that Y/N’s father had started his own drug cartel because it was really the only plausible explanation for the drastic increase in money.’
-Galahad looks at hoseok to gauge his reaction before continuing because oh my gosh that’s not even the bad part and he already looks pissed i hope he doesnt beat him.
-‘Y/N’s dad hadn’t done that though but he did... hand Y/N off to the highest bidder. The highest bidder was Lee Junhyuk which now makes him the future King of Elodea. As we know that would also tie Elodea and Y/N into the Somin drug cartel seeing as though Lee Junhyuk is Lee Somin’s father and they work together. We were initially targeting Junhyuk for his corrupt ways as the leader of his country...now we’re in a bit of a bind.’
-Everyone looks at Hoseok as they wait for him to say something anything really.
-‘So what are we waiting for? When do we get rid of this guy?’
-THATS NOT WHAT EVERYONE WAS EXPECTING
-‘I say we get Y/N to safety first and then Junhyuk is all yours tristan.’
-INITIATE PLAN: FUCK JUNHYUK UP
-It takes a few days to get coordinated but usually it takes weeks so this is good so far
-Lancelot and Kay will be clearing the path to you and Junhyuk respectively so that Hoseok can get to you and tristan can get to junhyuk. Tristans job is to eliminate. Hoseok job is to extract. Arthur and Galahad will remain at hq and oversee the mission through the transmissions from the glasses. Percival has been tasked with manning the helicopter that will get everyone back to hq.
-Shit goes down. Like junhyuk’s home is huge and even galahad has a hard time figuring out the best routes but things get done eventually.
-Lancelot is literally mowing guards down with this wild umbrella shotgun and by the time Hoseok gets to you you’re hiding under a bed of all places.
-‘Y/N? Are you in here?’
-You recognize that voice its the same guy from a few days ago. You never did catch his name.
-There you go crawling out from under the bed to a total stranger that may or may not be here to actually kill you but you’re gonna take your chances.
-‘What’s going on?’ You’re kind of scared but from the short time you’ve spent with this man he seems like a good guy and you trust him???? After only a couple minutes of conversation???
-Hes just so smiley and charming and a gentleman and its hard not to you know its Hoseok
-‘I don’t have much time to explain right now. We have to get out of here first before this place blows.’ BLOWS??? DID HE JUST SAY THIS PLACE WAS GONNA BLOW????? Holy shit!!!!
-Who. is. This. man. The same man that you are just going to follow because he told you to.
-“Y/N, tell me. Is your fiance much of a drinker?’ you nod your head and Hoseok smirks before gently nudging you over to lancelot.
-‘Lancelot get her out of here. I’ll be out in approximately 30 seconds. Percival should be waiting outside. Don’t let anything happen to her.’
-OF COURSE LANCELOT KEEPS YOU SAFE HES THE GOLDEN BOY
-Tristan and Kay have done their part by setting up the explosives. Lancelot and Gawain have escorted Y/N out Percival was at the pick up spot and galahad and arthur were satisfied with how things had gone. 30 seconds later Gawain is spotted headed towards the helicopter carrying the other members and you and he hops in.
-Everyone questions him bc he just disappeared umm what? But he doesn’t respond. Arthur gives tristan the go to push the detonator and percival tells everyone to hang on and the detonator is pushed and OH MY GOSH…
-Nothing happened.
-No explosion. It was a bust someone must have gotten to the explosives and messed with them FUCK
-Mission failed
-Gawain puts his glasses on
-‘Galahad. Pull up the security camera in Junhyuk’s office.
-‘Umm okay’
-Galahad does that and there’s Junhyuk throwing books and papers and his chair and everything in sight he is LIVID. LIVID BC HIS FUTURE WIFE HAS BEEN STOLEN AND SOMEONE JUST TRIED TO KILL HIM
-He’s shouting out orders and once everyone leaves the room and he’s alone he just takes a seat and pours himself a drink.
-His LAST DRINK
-This sucker just drinks straight out of the bottle. The only bottle in the room after Hoseok went in there and broke all except one.
-Everyone is kinda like what are we looking at and why
-Hoseok pulls out his small notebook and his fancy kingsman pen from his pocket and hands it over to you.
-‘Y/N. Would you mind giving me your phone number?’
-You kind of look at him like umm now?? And hoseok nods. You shrug your shoulders and click the pen before writing your number. When you try to unclick the pen you can’t and hoseok points to a small button on the pen. You push it and the pen unclicks.
-Also what the guys can see but you cant since you dont have fancy kingsman glasses
-YOU JUST KILLED JUNHYUK. BC HOSEOK PUT HIS INACTIVE PEN POISON IN THAT ONE BOTTLE AND WHEN YOU PUSHED THAT BUTTON IT ACTIVATED.
-HES DEAD
-DONE FOR
-GONE
-You’re a little confused when the guys cheer and give Hoseok a thumbs up
-Is it because he got your number?????
-Hes into you???? A cutE GUY IS INTo you!!!!
-The boys decide to take you back to the safety of your home in your country except they had your father IMPRISONED BECAUSE HE SOLD YOU but your mom is still there and she’s a good person so everything is good.
-Hoseok get’s off the helicopter with you to escort you in and the two of you are inside now and its v quiet
-‘So...I’ll call you to see how you’re doing.’
-‘I would like that very much.’
-Its kinda like that awkward time after a date where you stand at the front door and its like are we gonna kiss or not?
-WELL THE NEXT DAY THERE’S breaking news.
-“Princess of Elodea caught locking lips with handsome man in suit.”
-Also
-“Lee Junhyuk found dead in his home.” Yikes
-And that’s it.
-You know.
A/N: Was this rewrite complete trash? I wish I had the original :(

Hmmmmn do u have any all-time fave fics u could ref? I trust u
OH MAN!!! u didnt specify any fandom so im assuming you mean my all time faves from WHEREVER and OH BOY!!!
i actually have fic rec page on my blog which spans over a whole bunch of fandoms and has cool legends like humor and angst and stuff (im still working on it tho omg) along with my catchall fic tag where i shove all the fics i reblog. but you asked for my ALL TIME FAVES so here are some off the top of my head (im limiting myself to one per fandom or else id be here FOREVER).
(note: pls check the tags of fics before you read them)
Designations Congruent with Things by cleanwhiteroom (alt link) [Pacific Rim]
He begins at it already pried apart
OHHHHHH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. oh my GOD. okay i lose my shit over Designations Congruent with Things on a yearly basis because it is, by far, one of the most stunning pieces of fiction ive read. full stop. not only is it a feat of fanfiction (it’s GODDAMN LONG. it’s been taken off of ao3, so i cant check the wc, but damn i remember it was long), but as a story, it’s just. god, i dont even know what to say. ive already talked about this fic in a previous ask, so im just going to reiterate all my love again, just phrased slightly differently.
DCwT is an epic piece of Newt/Hermann Pacific Rim fanfiction. it follows Hermann and Newt after the events of the movie and delve painfully into each and every consequence their actions cause. it’s quite possibly the hardest thing ive ever read, for many reasons; the emotions are so vivid and they hurt; the science is so well researched it took me an hour to get through a paragraph because i my brain was still trying to catch up; Run On Sentences For Miles; it’s really, really goddamn long. i remember it got some flack for being over complicated, but in my opinion, the things that make this fic difficult are exactly what make it incredible. it’s overly cerebral in a way two messed up genius scientists would absolutely be. this fic is. i dont have words for it. i have only read the whole thing in its entirety ONCE and i have tried to reread it but goddamn is it difficult. this fic is definitely not for everybody, but it’s a piece of art that gained a bit of a cult following back when it was updating. (theres a fictional band in the fic that inspired ppl to make the band and the music real. RIGHT???) anyway this fic is basically the cornerstone which i worship when it comes to fanfiction as a genre of literature. jesus christ. jesus christ.
World Ain’t Ready by idiopathicsmile [Les Miserables]
Enjolras presses his lips together. He already looks pained, and Grantaire hasn’t even opened his mouth yet. That’s got to be a record, even for them.
“I need a favor,” he says at last.
“With what?” says Grantaire. “Ooh, are you forming a cult? Can I join? I’d be awesome at cults, I just know it.” He ticks off his qualifications on his fingers. “I love chanting, I look great in robes—”
(High school AU. Grantaire the disaffected stoner is pulled into a cause bigger than himself. Or: in which there are pretend boyfriends for great justice.)
if youve ever been in the les mis fandom i know you know this fic. i know youve already read this fic. i know that your dog has probably already read this fic. i know that this fic has been recced to hell and back, and currently resides as the most kudo-sed work in the les mis tag on AO3. but im reccing it anyways because it’s just THAT GOOD. this fic got me INTO THE FANDOM. pacing. plot. characterization. teen angst. HUMOR. this fic is perfect. literally no other words. it’s just perfect. i read this in my last few months of senior year high school, and never before have i ever read a fic that actually, truly, felt like it was about teenagers. the narrative and the voice. the dialog. god. if this were a book, id buy it. and that’s saying something because im always BROKE. but id buy this fic. several times. who am i kidding. you dont need to know this bc youve read this fic before. if you havent, please. do yourself a favor. oh my god. oh my god. (and when youre done, read all of idiopathicsmile’s other fics too god theyre all SO GOOD)
catch me if you can by isawet [Teen Wolf]
What do you think of my solution to the Kobayashi Maru?
hands down one of my favorite teen wolf fic. a vague summary gives way to a fic with incredible characterization. fucking beautiful writing style. non-chronological story telling done wonderfully. and gosh, that ending. hilarious in tiny bits that make it all the more better. just, honestly. this fic needs so much more love. it’s my go-to fic whenever i want to understand just how one can utilize suspense and tension in writing. what the hell. what the
Segments [series] by d_aia [Kingsman: The Secret Service]
“Are you sure that’s how you want to tell him?” Merlin asked once again.
“He will need space to deal with situation. It’s how he copes,” Arthur explained and a bit pretentiously at that, if one were to ask Merlin. “I’m giving him a place and a reason to run.”
Merlin chose to shut up.
all fics in this series? my favorite. it’s intelligent, brutal, beautiful. it’s been a while since ive read these, but theres a reason these fics still haunt me. god. god.
Graduate Vulcan for Fun and Profit by lazulisong [Star Trek: AOS]
It really does take a village to raise a Jim.
The members of the Kelvin’s crew watch over Jim as much as he lets them.
I LOVE THIS FIC SOOOOOOO MUCH. it’s a really delicate, heartfelt piece that isnt afraid to be an asshole sometimes, which is basically jim kirk in a nutshell. not only does it go through an incredible reflective relationship with some rando vulcan who decided to take him under his wing, but it does so in a realistic way that doesnt over dramatize aspects, but still ends up very vivid. also, THERES VULCAN LINGUISTICS. linguistics + fanfiction = 10000000% Best Shit EVER.
fathers and sons by M_Leigh [X-Men: DoFP]
“I have an – interest – in Peter Maximoff,” Erik said, somewhat grudgingly, glaring. “A – familial – interest –”
Everybody stared at him.
“In that – mutantkind is one – large – family –” Erik said valiantly, if pathetically.
“Oh, shit,” Alex said. “No way. No way.”
ghghgfjhdh the first xmen fic i ever read and by far, the most fukcgin hilarious. jesus CHRIST. theres just something subtly incredible about how the author uses phrasing to make every sentence as goddamn funny as they are. im really in love with the comma placement in this fic. every comma is exactly where it needs to be. every em dash is where it belongs. IM NOT MAKING SENSE, but i would send this fic to people as a prime example of narrative humor uplifted via phrasing and punctuation. just read this fic. it’s got Hank POV, Charles being a “strange lecherous Englishman”, Peter being a Teen, and everybody drags Erik’s fashion choices.
Repeat After Me by queenieofaces [Yuri On Ice]
Victor learns language through mimicry, hears phrases and repeats them back until the inflection becomes second nature. Yuuri seems to communicate best through euphemism, through metaphor, through talking around the subject rather than approaching it head on, and so Victor tries his best to mimic him, to take his words and echo them back.
(Vignettes in language learning and communication, spanning the whole series.)
SO!! FUCKING!!! GOOD!!!!!!!! i think ive mentioned how much i LOVE LANGUAGE and this fic tackles the language barrier in a beautiful, earnest way. as a bilingual, this fic was just so so so good. victor is just bounding with love in this fic and the writing just feels so..,,,,warm.,,,,,
OKAY i know you only asked for fic recs and not….all these rambles but. i just have a lot of love for fanfiction. fanfiction is so great. we are so lucky. we are so lucky. dont 4get to leave kudos and comments on fics you like! happy reading anon!!!

part1: ya tommy is defo one of the most liked (I said brother specifically bc overall I would die for Polly and she only gets more interesting doesn't,hurt that Helen mccrory is reaally hot also grace is my wife) but like when I first watched I knew nothing about the show so at least then my opinion was my own (I get so easily swayed by what others think it's ridic) and i liked tommy alright, but when I checked the tags later it was literally all gifs of him smoking
2: and it was that thing when ppl talk abt a charact soo much u kinda get bored (i hate that this happened with tommy bc I remember genuinely liking him so much before tumblr) and honestly Arthur was the one that made me pause especially when rewatching. like I rmmbr being so yikes about him but then that scene where he points at his head saying that where the trouble is dude and that shit with their father agha im love him now even tho he STILL does the dumbest shit also sam Neill can choke
right im would Die for pol too amen (and grace,,,my love,,) same, im really glad im going into the show not knowing Anything at all bc i can form my own opinions and be shocked by stuff in real time and all! dude i totally get what you mean, i feel like if i go into the tags on here for tommy content i would die from boredom about him?? like, i reckon hes great and a layered character and not to sound Het but i love him, but i dont think theres enough character depth to sustain my interest if i see 345 gifsets?
DEF like on the whole arthur is dumb as fucc but like uhh so am i so its relatable content lmao, but god i know , the stuff with his dad (not sure if his dad comes back later and theres more to that, but from s1) was so heartbreaking, so i def agree he has his Moments that totally make you sympathise with him and break your heart for him.
SAM NEILL. SHOULD CHOKE. IN THIS. IM. CANT BELIEVE HES BACK IN S2 WTF I THOUGHT GRACE SORTED THAT OUT FOR US??????
