Imma need an in-depth breakdown of Puff please! And I’m not being sarcastic either. Puff pre-dates my time in the outlander fandom.

Regards,

Your curious anon.

Dear Puffy Curious Anon,

If my cantankerous boss would have summoned me at 03:03 pm EEST (when your request landed in my inbox), just to tell me "Imma need an in-depth breakdown of the Greek trade unions' position on the current critical understaffing of the HoReCa sector", I would have politely answered "yes, ma'am, when is the deadline". I would have then turned on my heels, rolled my eyes, sworn like a drunk sailor under my breath (fuck my life comes to mind, pardon my French) and quickly be done with it.

You, bless your Anon heart, wrote: "Imma need an in-depth breakdown of Puff, please". Wee difference, Curious Anon: you are not my cantankerous boss. That being said, since the question has been asked by several people in the comment threads of the day's posts, I am gonna give you my two cents on Queen Pufflander, even if you've been around before I even knew this weird place existed. And hopefully put to rest this nonsense forever (wishful thinking, doubt it will happen).

Once upon a time, when S&C's bantering was the plat du jour on Twitter and this fandom a considerably less toxic place, Puff the Magic Dragon of the US East Coast was one of the Queen Bees of Shipperville. Her blog was witty and no-nonsense (if a tad verbose) and, as *urv, she quickly earned her fair share of side performers: Stella and Deep Throat (SOURCES) or the tarot reader(s) immediately come to mind. People loved Puff and that is only fair, to be honest: I bet the farm she was great fun. Little by little, information traded in DMs started to pile up in her famed Vault, from which she was generously sharing, from time to time, sibylline rants ("maybe they did or maybe they didn't, but don't worry, something happened and all shall soon be revealed"). I can critique that forever and a day and tell you that all this sent people's expectations up the roof and beyond, of course. But, again: I was not here. It is unfairly easy to judge all these things with a historian's eye, and people who lived to tell the tale are far more entitled than me to comment their fandom experience, circa 2015.

When the whole Shatner/Watchtower baliverne started (early 2016, if memory serves) things ugly escalated and rather quickly so. People started jumping ship. With McSideburns already in the house (EIFF comes to mind and a certain poignant S&C penguin picture, too), enter Flukenzie Floozy. Thus, after IFH, Puffy decided to pack her crystal ball & tent and move to greener pastures on Wordpress. There, she held court with a keen eye for the Byzantine politicking of this fandom, not unlike what Perfidious Albion did with regard to the Thirteen Rebelling Colonies, after that Boston Tea Party. Her main moments of intersection with the rest of the shipper community are Covfefe Pics (of course) and Remarkable Week-end (of course). With regard to Covfefe, she quickly cried wolf, but by the time Remarkable Week-end happened, she pulled off a mighty witty breakdown of The Nuptial Charade of the Century. Blaze of glory was Quarantein Ha-wa-wee (of course), when she blamed S for all the world's evils and then some more. After that, she concentrated on her Neverending Feud with *urv (a Private Investigator was, at some point, hired and paid for via crowdfunding), which somehow managed to end (nevertheless) with a Report she might or might not have sent to S, "for further consideration".

As all good prophets, Puffy finally went into Occultation circa 2021, not without warning us that she was torn between Gay Sam & SamCait intellectual traditions, with a wee penchant for the first (reason why I completely ditched her peddling, because IYKYK).

I can understand why people might think I could be Puffy. I am, however, very sure about my own identity, whereabouts and creed: to state the opposite would really, really be mental. I fully assumed my responsibility and went ahead to actually prove you, this morning, I wasn't. Reading her rants was useful, but also taxing. I doubt Stella and Deep Throat were anything else but narrative helpers in a sophisticated Greimas actantial model. Something I would never do, for example: I am confident enough not to need any crutches. And I am very, very sorry for this word vomit: it should come, perhaps, as solace its length could never compete with Puff's storytelling marathons.

To wash my sins (not really: because I really love that picture), here's S,C, a penguin and a cakebox (?), at EIFF 2015. This is, you can be certain, the purest thing on this page, Anon:

not a thing to wait for (but one to choose)

E | Complete | Ch 4/4 | Merthur

Summary:

Over the course of four days, Merlin meets a mysterious farmer named Arthur (who saves his life), reveals his magic, and discovers a runaway prince...and manages to fall head over heels.

Finally finished thanks to the WIP Big Bang!

Bragging rights below the cut:

Story Title: not a thing to wait for (but one to choose) Fandom: Merlin BBC Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/33131467/chapters/82248013 Summary: Over the course of four days, Merlin meets a mysterious farmer named Arthur (who saves his life), reveals his magic, and discovers a runaway prince...and manages to fall head over heels. Warnings: Canon-Typical Violence Characters: Merlin, Arthur Pendragon, Gwaine Pairings: Merlin/Arthur Pendragon When I Started: A little over a year ago, for the 2021 Albion Party, which spawned the original first chapters. How I Lost My Shit: I started too many works too soon, and this was shunted to the WIP graveyard, unfortunately. I always wanted to finish it, but when I kept joining other Big Bangs and Reverse Bangs, they took priority. How I Finished My Shit: I stumbled on this Big Bang, and this fic was the first one that came to mind. It deserved to have an ending, and I was finally able to give it one.

green team prompt 1: everything here is so full of life

One night, Merlin dreamed a dream. He was walking along a well-worn forest path, breathing in the scent of lush green forest growth. Everything here was so full of life. Betwixt the trunks of slender elm, beams of faint morning light fell upon the muddy earth – and Merlin noticed two sets of footprints upon the ground; one belonging to him and the other to an old friend, Arthur Pendragon.

Viridescent leaves fell from the trees. Each one reminded Emrys of scenes from his over-long life. They fell and they faded into hues of orange and burnished red, curling at last into withered brown. As the last scene of Merlin’s life fell before him, the warlock looked back at the footprints upon the ground.

And it bothered him that there was only one set of footprints for many, many miles along the forest path. He came to realise these many miles were symbolising the lowest and saddest times of his life. The times of his life when he walked without his friend. It bothered him and in his grief; Emrys called upon the Spirits of the Forest – asking them why they had seen fit to curse him to an existence without the Once & Future King by his side.

“I was told he was my Destiny! I wished never to be parted from him! We were meant to walk side by side and talk together, all the way! But I see now. During the loneliest period of my life there is only one set of footprints. I do not understand why, when I needed Arthur the most, he was taken from me.”

And the forest trembled to hear it. The birds silenced their song. But then, under the glow of the dawn, did the green leaves whisper softly.

“Merlin… be at peace. I love you and have never left you, never, ever, during all your years of hardship and solitude. When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”
