#JUST SO ARTHUR DOESNT FEEL TOO BAD ABOUT IT??

Listen, I get Merwaine, I really do
But for me, it is strictly unrequited
Like Merlin, by the time Gwaine becomes a knight, has such tunnel vision for his king (ship, friendship, destiny, whichever version you like) that he wouldn't even bat an eye at Gwaine's advances. Especially since he knows that Gwaine is more loyal to him than to Arthur.
Oddly enough, I think he would be more likely to court someone like Lancelot, because he knows that, for Lancelot, the king and queen come first.
I don't think Merlin could bare to be with someone who didn't see Arthur as more valuable than him.
Because he is so overwhelmed by the need to see Arthur to fruition, that all other value of his life has been sapped away. He equates Arthur with Albion. His life, hell his comfort, is all that Merlin wants for, because if his destiny shan't have revolved around this one man, then the past handful of years was full of suffering and sacrifice for no reason. He has to commit to the idea that Arthur is the answer, and that he will come around to magic without getting hurt, because he's hurt so much already, and Merlin finds himself incapable to harming him, even to further the prosperity of Albion.
Because he's had the chance before! To hurt Arthur! To let him fester in the guilt or the betrayal in order to reach the conclusion that magic isn't the enemy. But Merlin stops him every time because he cannot bear to harm his king. So he lies about Ygraine's ghost. He hesitates to accuse Agravaine. But he just cannot do it. He can't stand for Arthur's pain, even for the sake of the whole kingdom.
At some point along the way, Albion became Arthur. Merlin's goal changed from 'bring magic back' to 'keep Arthur safe, no matter the cost'. And that's why he says to kill Mordred. He cannot see a future in which Arthur returns magic to the land but his destined killer still walks free. He just can't.
So no, he doesn't return Gwaine's affection. He couldn't. Not when he doesn't see how much more valuable Arthur is than anything else that breathes.

EMIZEL/FIZZFANGS ANALYSIS
the long awaited. under the cut bc its really long and im fucking insane. (this does not necessarily focus on them as a romantic pairing, just the way they interact with each other. interpret it in whichever way is most compelling to you/what you see fit.)
EMIZEL:
the most notable thing about emizel is the fact that he is mainly motivated by status and climbing the social hierarchy in whatever situation he is currently in. in his human life, that was climbing the ranks within the demons. after he dies, he doesnt really understand the social hierarchy within vampire society, but he does understand that its very important to at least be in good standing.
Tumblr media
(episode 2)
he has an inherent disrespect towards authority, also seen with his father, (which i will get to later) as seen with this interaction with arthur. he's insistent on meeting the important figures within vampire society in la, and prioritizes this over, say, learning how being a vampire actually works. in the same episode, he also tells arthur "It just seems like we have similar goals, you know? I clearly don't know what I'm doing in vampire society. You do. So I need to learn. And you did say you'd take responsibility for teaching me." keep in mind that this is only a week or so after he was turned. things become interesting when we see him interacting with said important figures.
Tumblr media
(episode 4)
in a stark contrast to arthur, hes relatively polite and respectful. obviously, this is to build favor for himself within the community of important and respected figures. also notable, he is lying out of his fucking ass. this is probably my biggest piece of evidence against the people that genuinely believe that emizel is unintelligent, because he clearly knows what hes doing.
Tumblr media
as stated in the tweet, he gets killed/injured makes stupid decisions so often because he's used to operating under the rules of the demons and normal human society, and he hasnt learned that consequences and rules are enforced much harsher in regards to vampires. his rash and impulsive personality/decision making skills/opposition to authority figures that he doesnt like just isnt compatible with vampire society, and this leads to him getting hurt (see any and all of his interactions with edward)
Tumblr media
(episode 4)
so, we know he lies to get what he wants (status, respect, etc) and doesn't feel bad about it. now is time to address his upbringing. obviously, it was not great. he has a very negative relationship with his father, and it wouldn't be too big of a stretch to describe it as potentially abusive. "Listen, I've lived with this guy my whole life. He's always kind of been a piece of shit to me, so do what you want - I couldn't care any less. But, if you're making me choose between my wellbeing and his, then I'm always going to choose me. Besides, I can't do any of that mind shit anyways." (episode 2) we can most likely assume he joined the demons relatively young, as a way to escape or have a place to stay other than his dads house. this is also probably the source of his opposition to authority, especially those that act negatively towards him.
Tumblr media
(episode 6)
episode 6 is very interesting. emizel risks his life to go back to the unseen one to ask a very specific question: "why did i get abandoned with my father, and why did shilo get to stay?" also noting that his most precious memory is one he had with the demons. when shilo asks about this question, he gets very defensive, because he knows that shilo would have an answer for him, but its not the answer he wants. if he tells them, they wont let him go back to the unseen one. of course, his question is left unanswered, and he asks it again in episode 10.
another very interesting thing happens in episode 10: he willingly gets rid of all memories of his father. he had a lot of other things he could have given up, but he specifically chose his father. with the definite negative impact his dad must have had on him, and how highly emizel prioritizes strength, it wouldnt be a stretch to say that he viewed the trauma of living with his father as a weakness, something to get rid of instead of grow and heal from. it would take time, a resource he isn't willing to share.
Tumblr media
so, why is emizel so motivated towards power and status? with all this, the answer is pretty obvious: he wants to be able to build the life he was never able to have. power and status means money means opportunities means choices means a better life. he wants an escape from la, from his father, from everything he's had to deal with growing up. hes constantly reminding himself that its not fair, its not fair that shilo got to live that way, its not fair he was abandoned and stuck here. so he wants to make it fair for himself and the rest of his posse. those he considers his family. his jealousy motivates him.
so of course a wrench is thrown in everything when he loses that emotional connection to most of his friends (except theo. which i will get to) and finds himself just not caring anymore. the thing hes built his life around, spent years climbing the ranks - all for nothing. but what else can he do but continue on. find another distraction, find another goal.
THEO:
we don't know much about theos past other than he (supposedly) lives in the suburbs and has rich parents. (referenced in episode 8) though this is debatably canon, i think its interesting if it is because it brings up a lot of questions. most notably, why did he join the demons? the most obvious answer is that it's the same as emizel: his parents suck. though of course none of this is canon, so moving onto the things that are.
the first major event that happens to him is emizel being turned. he sees emizel less, "No shit, really? You know Emizel? How is he keeping up? He's kinda, been disappearin' every night." (episode 2) and we can assume emizel is a big part of his life. (which i will get to later) and then, thanks to shilo, a core aspect of his personality is stripped away. his entire life is essentially turned on his head, and he can feel something missing. so, as seen in episode 5, he turns to alcohol. its no surprise why, he's lost the sense of normality, his routine, everything he was used to. so he may as well do this. a lot of theos more interesting aspects only really show when hes interacting with emizel, so time to get to the fun part.
FIZZFANGS AS A WHOLE:
a very interesting thing is that emizel and theo act very differently when talking/interacting with each other than any other character. dialogue-wise, they both talk a lot faster and "messier" around one another, interrupting themselves and eachother to finish each others thoughts.
Tumblr media
(episode 3)
just by their conversations, you can tell they're very close. this particular instance also has two other interesting things in it: theo asking what he can do to help emizel, and condi specifying that theo would be the only person emizel would tell about being a vampire. to address the first part, here is a complete list of all the times theo asks emizel what he should do/what he should do to help/etc (and this is an incomplete transcript, so ive probably missed a couple.)
"Alright, you lead the way man, let's do it." (ep 1)
"What's going on here? What do I do? What do you want me to do, man?" (ep 1)
"No man! I'm not leaving you, man! I can take him. I can still take him." (ep 1)
"I'm not leaving you, man!" (ep 1)
"Well, how can I help you with the non-soda related-?" (ep 3)
"Yeah! I mean... What should I do first?" (ep 3)
"So you just let me know whenever you need? I got you, bro." (ep 3)
"So, uh… Anything I can help with?" (ep 5)
"Don't worry, man. I got you. Where am I taking you?" (ep 5)
"So, um… how, c- how can I help you, man?" (ep 8)
this fucking crazy interaction:
Tumblr media
(episode 3)
so it goes without saying that theo would do anything for emizel. and he does, he stays in the alley even after he gets hurt, he stays even after he watches emizel die. and when emizel crawls over to him, dazed and hungry for blood, he doesnt run. he only runs after emizel tells him to. another really important thing about their relationship is the fact that they're both a constant in each others lives.
Tumblr media
(episode 8)
its kind of like they sort people into two boxes: "theo/emizel" and "everyone else." and the other will always be their highest priority. emizel drives to the other side of la just to see theo. after emizel dies in the club, his first instinct is to go find theo. theo is the only person that the unseen one appears as to him. in episode 8, the first step to his plan is finding theo.
Tumblr media
(episode 6)
even if he hadn't just lot a good amount of emotional connection to the rest of his friends, i think he would still be a lot more urgent to go save him. and again, his first thought is to check if theo is there. if theo's okay, if he's safe.
Tumblr media
(episode 5)
and theo does this too. he insists that emizel is his only friend, the only one he trusts. speaking of trust, that is the most crucial aspect to their relationship. they trust eachother a sickening amount, they regularly put their life in the others hands. when emizel drinks theos blood, its not "is he going to hurt me?" its "how can i make this the safest?" because theo trusts emizel not to hurt him, even after knowing he's killed ~12 people.
Tumblr media
(episode 3)
and here, emizel trusts that theo loves him enough to be okay with this. note that arthur doesn't even bring up love, emizel is the first to. arthur only brings it up after emizel says that. because emizel knows that theo loves him and trusts him, emizel knows that theo would do anything for him.
Tumblr media
(episode 9)
and emizel, notorious for not letting anyone close enough to hurt him, tells theo that if he wants to, not needs, wants, he can kill him. that theo can kill him, if he wants. because emizel doesn't fully trust himself alone, but he trusts himself when he's with theo.
Tumblr media
and theo trusts emizel too. despite seeing what vampires can do in a frenzy, he trusts that emizel wouldn't hurt him, just as emizel trusts that theo would stop him before anything could ever happen. and emizel is a notorious liar, so we can assume that he doesn't/wouldn't lie to theo, which would explain why theo trusts him so much.
Tumblr media
basically, they'll always be there for eachother and theo would do anything for emizel and emizel will always come back to theo in the end and they love eachother and despite everything they are together. theyre completely inseperable.
tl;dr: emizels main MOTIVATION is status, while the most IMPORTANT thing to him is theo

Tommy
🌿After the Changrettas are gone and there is peace, Tommy tries to take a holiday. But theres nothing can bring him peace, hes bored, golf and fishing are both dull, they give him too much time to think of things hes trying to forget.
🌿He expects the theatre to be just as bad, has predicted he'll last about ten minutes but
🌿When you walk on stage during the third scene you take his breath away
🌿Suddenly hes really concentrating... He might only be concentrating on you but thats still something.
🌿He cant take his eyes off you for a second, youre not just pretty, you're an angelic kind of beautiful.
🌿The play is romeo and juliet, you are juliet and when your final scene comes you bring the heartless Tommy Shelby to tears.
🌿Not that he lets anyone else see them.
🌿Afterwards he finds out your name, does his research, and sends you a letter telling you that youve sparked an interest for him in the performing arts, invites you to teach him all about the theatre
🌿Then he pulls the usual Tommy tricks, wines and dines you, kisses you... Fucks you... But hes not just playing tricks, youve given him light and interest where there was once nothing but an aching hole...
🌿You become his new obsession and he attends every performance, helps you learn your lines, visits you in your dressing room before and after every show.
🌿Sometimes he watches you from the wings and you feel his intense stare on you at all times. It makes you shiver but you love it.
Alfie
🐻 He has always been partial to the opera, he says the sad ones touch his tired old heart.
🐻 He first sees you when you're singing in ..... You capture his heart completely.
🐻 He asks to see you after the show and, because he's Alfie he is taken straight to you
🐻Youre a little surprised when you recognise the man who is standing in your dressing room doorway. You know exactly who he is and for a second you're frightened... Which Alfie picks up on and
🐻 Doesnt immediately put you out of your misery
🐻 Hes a lot more polite, almost gentlemenly towards you and you beging to relax a little
🐻Then he goes on this rant about how "that here performance right, in all long and wellllll lets face it - wasted - years in this frankly disgusting little city...i aint never heard an aria sung so angelic... And see I'm passionate right, passionate about music yeah... So i reckon I'd know..."
🐻 His speech makes you blush deeper the longer it goes on
🐻 "Sorry i ain't got you no flowers Miss, I'll bring double next time alright?"
🐻And he does, he watches every pergormance, sends you flowers to your dressing room, meets you with even more flowers after your performance.
🐻Likes all the costumes a lot, he likes touching the soft silk, feeling how delicate you are...
🐻Eventually actually asks if he can take you out, on a date, you kind of know you should refuse, that getting involved with dangerous gangsters is a bad idea, but something about Alfie, his theatrics and melodrama has really captured your imagination.
🐻Brags about you to everyone, especially Tommy.
🐻 Has you sing to him while youre in the bath together, you wrap your legs around him and wash his hair whilst you give him his own private performances
Arthur
🍂 Is grumbling about attending the theatre with Tommy, doesn't have the attention span, doesnt think hes smart enough to understand these things
🍂"These places Tommy, they aint for the likes of you and me..." "Now now Arthur, we've earnt our right to be here just like everybody else..." but Arthur thinks Tommys just trying to kid on that the family is moving up in the world...
🍂Arthur is still chuntering away to himself when the play begins. Its Shakespeare, one of the comedies and he feels a little out of place when some of the crowd laugh at jokes which have gone over his head
🍂But he begins to relax into it, finds himself enjoying it, laughing just as loud as everyone else.
🍂That might have something to do with the pretty girl playing several roles, who keeps coming on stage in different costumes, behaving like a totally new person each time. Arthurs fascinated by you and afterwards when Tommy and himself are invited back stage to meet the cast, Arthur barely says a word to the lead actors because his mind is set only on you
🍂When he finds you youre in your dressing room and he gives you a fright for which he immediately apologises.
🍂 "m sorry sweetheart didnt mean tk frighten you like... Just wanted to compliment you on your performance"
🍂At that you're completely stunned because you werent playing a lead role and no ones ever come back stage to do that before. Arthur is confused too, he wants to know why you arent out greeting people like the rest of the cast, when you explain that your role is only small and no one usually wants to meet you, he is shocked.
🍂 "Nah thats not right, you were the most important person on that stage..." he genuinely cant get his head around your apparent lack of confidence, you laugh and say hes being very sweet... Which makes him blush.
🍂 Hes fascinated by the whole acting thing, has loads of questions for you, thinks its incredible how you can just become someone else... This is a skill which deep down he craves to master, because of all his demons he wishes he could be someone else, the fact that you can become a whole new person so quickly gives him a naïve hope.
🍂 He thinks youre so fucking clever
🍂He comes to all your performances, doesnt always understand them, says he likes it best when youre in the funny ones, not the sad ones... He doesnt like seeing you sad even if its just pretend.
John
🌼 Similar to Arthur, hes not sure the theatre is really somewhere for the likes of him... Hes expecting it to be boring or too serious. He's only going because Tommy says it would be rude for them to turn down the invite.
🌼Its his Aunt Pol he really pisses off, she tells him of how some of the best actresses come from their very own gypsy blood. This is really what piques his interest and males him feel more comfortable.
🌼 But he is bored, hes bored the whole of the first act and Tommy has to force him back into his seat when he tries to leave.
🌼But you come on in the second half and suddenly he's interested.
🌼 "Fuckin 'ell why didnt they bring her on sooner"
🌼 Hes not been paying attention so he's got no idea who your character is or what shes doing, but he does think youre amazing.
🌼Is it because you're talented or does he just fancy you? You are talented but Johns awe is definitely fuelled by your looks.
🌼 Hes taken in by thr glitter and glamour of the theatre, of how pretty you look shimmering on the stage like a true starlet.
🌼 Tommy and his family dont return to thr theatre for awhile, but John starts going in secret, sitting alone, admiring and slowly falling in love with you
🌼 One day the theatre managers approach him, they know who he is and invite him to tour the theatre. Hes not really interested but when they mention he may get to meet the cast or see them in rehearsal, he changes his mind and agrees.
🌼When he does meet you its "accidental" he accidentally loses his tour guide and gets lost. He bumps into you and actually gets shy. Which is very unlike him. Up close youre more beautiful than ever... When he realises hes said that out loud he goes red.
🌼But you just smile and make a light hearted, maybe flirtatious joke out of it... "So are you Mr Shelby..."
🌼 He isn't found by his tour guide until youre finished with one another, the attraction is imediate and you tske him to your dressing room to fuck.
🌼 Its you who tells him you want, no need to see him again.
🌼After that he comes to you all the time. You have a lot of risky backstage sex.
🌼When youre trying to learn lines you ask for his help and he tries, but he ends up getting bored and distracting you.
Bonnie
🍀The Golds have followed the crows south to Cornwall which is where he meets you
🍀Theres a tradition in cornwall of outdoor theatre performances. Sunset on the jagged cliff edges, the crowd gather and sit on blankets on the rocks, they drink wine and ale and watch a plethora of performances. Dances, plays, musical concerts.
🍀Bonnies seen similar he supposes, when families gather together for celebrations, hes seen plays and music before... But not like this... Never as stunning as these.
🍀He stumbled upon the performance accidentally, he'd been on a walk over the hills, looking out for seals and dolphins in the water down below, when he'd heard the rabble of an audience and their applause.
🍀He hovers at the back of the crowd, climbs up a tree to sit and watch the performance unnoticed by anyone below. Except you.
🍀You look up half way through a line and catch sight of him in the tree, he's so relaxed, just sitting up there with his peaky cap on and the sight seems so absurd that you laugh mid line and have to stifle the giggle.
🍀He shoots you a wink but he doesnt think you see it.
🍀He watches you, the sunset behind you lighting you up like a firey angel, its a blazing, heavenly sight. You look as though you have the light of god shining out of you and its beautiful. Hes in awe.
🍀After when the crowds are dispersing he waits to climb down from his perch. He goes down to the "stage" when everyone is away, he's curious and he wants to look around.
🍀Whilst hes down there he starts imagining how theatrical and amazing one of his fights would look on that stage. If they had a ring down there. He starts practicing his moves, light on his feet, too caught in his daydream to notice you
🍀You take him by surprise, "Should have known you were a dancer," you tease making him jump and blush, he's embarrassed to be caught, especially by you.
🍀"A boxer... midlands welterweight champion actually," he feels silly when he admits it with a proud smile and you giggle.
🍀"Well mister midlands welterweight champion... Right now it looks like youre dancing on my stage..."
🍀He likes how cheeky you are and you flirt back and forth a little while before he asks why you only perform down here on the rocks, why you dont go to London to perform in the fancy theatres there... He tells you you'd be famous if you did, a pretty girl like you with all that talent.
🍀You blush and smile and get a little shy, you had all the confidence in the world 3 seconds ago when the two of you were teasing one another but now he looks so serious, his eyes full of admiration.
🍀"Not as romantic is it, London... Down here you feel like there's the angels watching you too..." it sounds silly when you say it like that but Bonnie thinks its sweet.
🍀He tells you about his boxing, how he's gonna be champion of the world one day and you listen, admiring his drive and passion. You think its amazing he believes in himself that much.
🍀"Well Bonnie Gold, when you're champion of the whole world you'd better make time to come and see me still from time to time" you kiss his cheek and he beams, lights up completely. Promises he will.
🍀Although his family move on eventually, he spends the whole time he's camped near you, with you. He has you teach him everything you know, you teach him how to fake cry and remember lines and he teaches you a little of his boxing skills too.
🍀He wishes he could take you with him when he leaves but he makes sure to return to you whenever he can.
🍀One day when hes in london for a fight he passes a theatre with your name in lights above the door. He uses his peaky credentials to get inside where he bursts in on your rehearsal, he's beaming with pride and is also very happy, now he will always know where to find you.
🍀With him a famous boxer and you a famous actress, youre a star couple, people recognise you when youre about which Bonnie loves. Whenever you wish for peace and quiet though he takes you away with him to travel awhile with his family.
Isaiah
🐀He's never set foot in something as posh as a theatre before and he has no intention of it. The theatres for toffs.
🐀But then he meets you at a bar one night and when he asks what you do and he finds out your an actress, his interest in the arts begins to grow.
🐀He tries to steal a kiss from you that night at the Garrisson but you stop him, teasing him you tell him you'll only kiss him if he comes to see your show.
🐀So reluctantly he drags finn to the theatre with him one night to watch you.
🐀The theatre is so fancy that both boys feel out of place. Their peaky caps mean that no one messes with them though and they even get given the best seats in the house.
🐀When youre on stage youre trying not to be distracted by the thought he might be in the audience. Every night that week youve waited and he hasnt come. Tonights the last night and youre worried he won't show. That you'll never get to kiss your peaky boy.
🐀But when you take to the stage after the final scene you hear his voice - unmistakable Birmingham accent among the cheers of the well to do - and you feel your heart rush. You see hes with a friend, both of them shouting and cheering for. you in the most unconventional of ways.
🐀Its sweet though and when you go to meet Isaiah out in the auditorium to sneak him back stage, you delight in teasing him.
🐀"You know youre supposed to bring an actress flowers after her performance..." you say tsking at him. Youre only messing though, you just wanted to see the cocky boy falter.
🐀And then you almost feel bad because hes sheepishly admitting to you that he didnt know, that hes never been to the theatre before, this was his first time...
🐀That much was obvious to you from the way him and his friend cheered for you.
🐀"Well..." you say before standing on your tiptoes to kiss his cheek, "youd better not make it your last..."
🐀"That depends love, will i get another kiss if i come back tomorrow?"
🐀He actually travels to see you perform again, he has to go up to Manchester to see you, but he does... He can't believe himself for doing it, but thats how he knows you must be something real special for him.
🐀Eventually you settle at one of the theatres in London, a resident actress, your name up in lights. Isaiah begs tommy to let him move and do Peaky Business in London, but he keeps secret his real reason for moving... His very own starlet with her name up in lights.
Michael
☘️ He's been to the theatre many times before and knows exactly how to behave. Back when he was Henry, he used to love going to the theatre but now hes Michael Gray and hes got more important things to do
☘️Still hes a man who likes fine things and the theatre is a luxury hes proud to afford,so he goes regularly, just to show people he can.
☘️Hes had his eye on you for quite some time but hasnt had the balls to talk to you
☘️In then end he does something overly elaborate almost on a level with some of Tommys plans... He hosts the after party for the performance at Tommys mannor.
☘️He is so overly attentive when it comes to managing the party and making sure everything will he perfect.
☘️On the evening of the party youre looking more beautiful than ever and Michael is feeling nervous... Not that he'll admit that to anyone else. You know that as one of the leading ladies its your job to thank him for being such a wonderful host and when you go to him he suddenly regrets not going to you first.
☘️No small part of him is a little bit pleased with himself that you choose to come up to him though, especially when you thank him for being so generous to the theatre company.
☘️He stands there looking like a classic gentlemen, he takes your delicate hand and raises it to his mouth, kissing it lightly. When he holds eye contact and says "its all for you," you die.
☘️You fall for his charms ever so quickly, and michael makes lots of generous donations to the theatre company to impress you. He brings you fancy gifts, glamourous dresses, sparkling jewellery, pearl necklaces...
☘️ Sees it as a status symbol, being with a famous actress and he loves to take you to the most fancy restaurants between shows. After a Sunday Matinee he takes you to dinner, wines and dines you and then takes you dancing in one of his cousins fancier establishments.. He enjoys noticing the paparazzi taking photos of the two of you together.
☘️ Likes to fuck you in your dressing room, fantasises about taking you on the stage, not in front of an audience but with the heat of the stage lights shining on you as he fucks you rough.
☘️When he marries you your wedding makes the front page and he is extremely proud. Youre a power couple, always courting the fame. Youre glamourous and stylish and always seen in the most fashionable establishments.
☘️He will make you learn your lines and has lots of different methods of helping you, some kinkier than others.
☘️Likes to watch your rehearsals and then "punish" you later if you forget a line or missed a que. He wants to help you be completely perfect.

this is very random, but what about the hetalia main eight where their s/o has a dog/cat(ur choice). And the dog/cat is very friendly and loving towards the s/o but not them(it acts cold and sort of just doesnt like them), like how would they react to that?(u dont have to do this if u dont want to its really dumb lmao, either way have a good day)
(Hetalia Main 8 x Reader) S/O’s pet dislikes them.
(Gender Neutral) Headcanons ~ A/N this is a cute request. … .. . ouppy and kitty!!! Sorry this is shorter idk:
Trigger Warning: None, just fluff!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“What, don’t they like me? I didn’t do anything wrong…”
Alfred really cannot tell when animals like or dislike him. To be fair, he’s like that with humans too… but with animals, he just assumes they all love him.
But he’s also not great at being incredibly gentle with them. If you want him to stop riling up your animals you’ve got to just tell him outright.
After that, he’ll just try to bribe them with treats. If he can be bought with food, surely your pet can too. Actually, him and your pet are similar in a lot of ways…
You can literally see how hard it is for him to resist petting them (especially if it’s a dog… he loves dogs so much,) but he’ll wait until they come to him first.
Tumblr media
“Alright well… these things can take time I suppose. They’ll like me eventually, right?”
Arthur doesn’t take it personally. He’s had a lot of animals of his own, and they’ve all hated him at the start as well. He’ll just be patient.
 But also all the pets he’s had before have been like… sheep or rats so he’s not sure how to handle your more average pets. Hopefully they don’t care if he doesn’t pet them a lot.
He says he doesn’t care that much, but you’ve also caught him sneaking your pet little pieces of dinner (he’s nearly as bad as Alfred!)
In general, he doesn’t care much for most animals, but he absolutely adores yours. The first time they act affectionately towards him, he immediately calls you excitedly.
Tumblr media
“Aw, why are you running away? I will just catch you again!”
He’s definitely taking it a little personally. He hasn’t had a lot of pets that weren’t birds so he’s not used to normal animal affection. He definitely needs assurance from you that they’ll love him eventually…
But until then, he’s just gonna force your pet to be around him. Even if they hate it, he’s gonna be super affectionate. 
Hopefully they don’t get too pissed off about it. It breaks his heart just a little that they won’t reciprocate. They like you and not him?!
Once they finally do, he nearly bursts into tears. He takes about a million photos and immediately sends all of them to you.
Tumblr media
“Aiyah! Fine, then I do not like you either. Even when you’re so cute…”
Yao has lots of pets himself. That love he has for you absolutely extends to your animals. When they don’t love him back, well, he has nothing but time!
A lot of the time, he’ll just sit next to them, trying to get them more comfortable. He would never force them to be affectionate with him, even though he just wants to grab them and squeeze them-
Once they start crawling in his lap on their own volition, he’s cuddling with them all the time! If your pets weren’t spoiled before, they will be now.
Tumblr media
“Y/N, can’t you make them like me? It makes me feel bad…”
Ivan is used to rejection, but not rejection from something so adorable! He takes it very personally… he’ll act like he’s not upset but he really is. After all, your pets are important to you, so he’ll have to love them too
He doesn’t know how to make them warm up to him, so he just tries everything at once. This of course… does not work. Which probably only makes him more upset
But once you tell him to just leave them alone, he listens. Soon enough your pet will be crawling all over him, and he’ll be losing his mind about it. Animals have never liked him before, but just like you, your pet is finally an exception.
Tumblr media
“Come here little kit- Ouch! Why would you hurt me when I’m trying to love you?!”
Just like he is with you, Feliciano is not familiar with “taking it slow.” As soon as he can, he tries grabbing and playing with your pet. If they resist, he’ll be a little hurt.
He’s much better with cats than he is with dogs. If you have a cat, he’ll try playing with them and laying next to them whenever he can. If you have a dog, he’ll ask to take it on walks just the two of them.
Considering how lovable he is, surely your pet will warm up quickly. And when they do, he couldn’t be more ecstatic.
Tumblr media
“Oh no, did I do something wrong? They don’t seem to like me very much…”
Considering how many dogs Ludwig has had, he’s really not used to this. Animals tend to love him on sight, so he’s not sure how to proceed from there.
So, he researches. Soon you’ll see him just hanging out around them, trying to get them more comfortable. Plus, he’ll buy lots of treats he’s sure they’ll like. Anything to get them loving him as quick as possible.
And once they do, that pet is as important to him as it is to you. Even if things were awkward at the start.
Tumblr media
“Ah. That’s too bad. Maybe they will warm up to me later.”
Frankly, Kiku does not care that much. He won’t take it personally. He knows that most animals (... and many people) can find him hard to warm up to. But your pet will be seeing him a lot, so it will be fine in the long run.
If he buys your pet anything, it’s not to manipulate them into liking him or anything. He just thinks your pet is super cute and deserves it.
When they do finally come to him, he’s super excited. Even though he doesn’t seem like it. He’ll call you into the room and then just point at your pet like “!!!” After that, that animal is getting all the love and affection he can possibly give.

ive been like having visions of how arthur feels about human connection and what it has to do w his griefs (parents wife daughter) and this part just fuels it more. like we know that he's not the type to reach out to ppl HE FUCKING MISSED HER FUNERAL. yk. where a lot of ppl would mourn the dead and console the family left behind. but arthur couldnt bear to see his wife go, especially after what he'd done (or lack thereof) to her. meanwhile daniel was seeking for a connection, and its not unreasonable that daniel being there was part of why arthur didn't attend. but arthur never went to see daniel. he spent his time working and left his daughter to tess. after faroe's death he talked with daniel but then drove him away once again. until parker reached out to him. and we know he's persistent, and it took some time for arthur to finally open up. arthur never reached out to people, people reached out to him. bella was the one who first took a liking to him too.
and then we have john. the resident entity living in arthur's eyes. suddenly arthur loses his privacy (and remember the prison - "that's not for you." "what?" "my thoughts.") and their situation leaves arthur very vulnerable but after some time they open up to each other etc you get it you've listened to the podcast. its like. john isn't just persistent, he's nagging for arthur to tell him stuff. parker intended to help so he knew topics he could touch and the ones he shouldn't, but i doubt john had the same purpose.
anyway that wasnt my visions i talked at the beginning. my visions are very loosely based on canon, setting place in an ending (or part of the story maybe) where john gets his own body. i see your "arthur misses john and they're touchy all the time" or the touch starved arthur things and i love every single one of them with my john shaped heart but consider. arthur who has not had much deep connection in his life, who felt wrong to live with his wife or have a family, who keep his fil miles away, who has gotten "more scars in a few months than [he does] in a lifetime." imagine him being scared of touch but desperate for a connection. he doesnt have a lot of experience of physical intimacy but he's able to open up to people (james, parker). being separated from john changes a Lot of how they interact because they are in a way touchy with each other but also not really?? also arthur was the one to bring it up so cheerfully like "maybe you could get a body of your own!" but you know what happened to everyone around arthur who isn't john. they leave. even john came back (REMEMBER THE MINEEEEES. "john :'( you remenber :'( you have your hand back :'( let me shake it :'(" insane cinema). he feels bad for feeling bad that john has his own body. he doesnt want to feel like he wishes john were less free/confined in his mind still but he does wish that john were still with him. despite john being in front of him listening to him just as he always did. SORRY FOR BEING INSANE ON MAIN I NEED TO FUCK OFF TO A DESERTED ISLAND WITH NO INTERNET SOMEWHERE IF YOU WANT THIS BLOG TO BE NORMAL ABOUT MALEVOLENT. WHICH IS NEVER

hiiihihii!! im backkkk to tell u abt my rdr playthough bc im bored asf haha
¡love this game omg!! the graphics, the story, the details UGH!!!!
hunting is actually so fun for no reason- i bought so many fancy ass guns too 😭
also my play type whenever i play ANY story game thats open world is to do every possible thing every except the actual story so i get a bunch of stuff and then its so muvh easier
in short i have 6000+ dollars 😋
bonus of exploring everything is i got thw white arabian and i love her sm ‼️‼️ i named her pearl and she is my baby
dress up is my seconf favorite hobby
my fav outfit rn is the red vest w the floral pattern on the front (i forget what its called) n the black french dress shirt underneath + the bison necklace talisman
(also arthur w medium-long length hair n short facial hair>>>)
this game is so detail oriented, its kind of insane- im doing a high honor run atm, and i came across the blind beggar for the third (?) time and the blind guy said and i quote
"that is which killing you will finally help you, friend- to hear and see."
is this foreshadowing this feels like foreshadowing
also ik arthurs dies (bc of tiktok edits and fics, they artists in this fandom is amazing!!!) and im not prepared at all 😭 im going to procrastinate so bad 
ALSO CHARLES DESERVES SO SO MUCH I LOVE HIM
yk the hole lil speech he has at the campfire yk "most human beings seem to know why they were born but, for me- its seems i was just mean ton hurt and suffer myself" that one
im bawling istg if he doesnt get a good ending im going to be writing a formal complaint to rockstar games
anyways
tw opinions (ik bro its crazy to have opinions in 2024 whattt no wayy)
ive gotten to the point in playing where im in ch 3, and the only way i can progress the actual story is to help micah rob a stagecoach or whatever
micah is a bastard and i dont like him
him as a character is rlly well written and awesome but,,,,,hes,,,slimy,,and i hate him,,,,so he can wait for a little longer ☺️
my favorite characters rn in no particular order is
arthur (obviously) , charles , sean , javier , tilly , marybeth , and kieran
my pookies ‼️‼️
moving on im so sorry this is so so long 😭 idk anyone who likes rdr irl lmao
anyway hope u have a nice day and no wolves attack you and spoke ur horse who bucks you off a cliff
(in rdr btw)
((true story also))
yo, having 6k in chapter 3 is amazing. good for you!
my first playthrough i got the white arabian and i named her Lemoyne Tree as a tribute to the state of Lemoyne and my favorite post malone song Lemon Tree. But she always got super dirty so i then went to the lake next to Strawberry and tamed the red chestnut arabian. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that one, she's gorgeous and arthur always gets that one when i play it. my beautiful baby girl Diablo <3
also yes. heckin FUCK MICAH BELL. even from the beginning he's been a slime ball. hate that man <3
i won't go too far, but just keep yourself high honor towards the end of the game. you need that to be your first ending. :')
Charles deserves the absolute world. just listening to him speak and hanging out with him at camp, and the missions you continue on to do with him throughout the game are so much fun. charles is someone i wish i could have in my real life because he seems like he would be the best person to speak to and hang out with. he is so lovely and down to earth. even arthur says it a couple times throughout the game. charles gets a good ending i promise.
my top blorbos are Arthur, Dutch, Charles, Hosea, and Josiah Trelawny my absolute beloved <33333 just wait until you go on the mission with Charles to find trelawny. one of my favorite missions ever ever ever ever!!
a lot of people dislike dutch, but i love him so much. he is my actual father. i love him.
i also hate john. let me know how you feel about that little greasy weasel of a man. :)))
i'm so so so glad you're having fun and i am very invested, so please continue to keep me updated on what ur doing because i need to live vicariously through you. if i could erase my entire mind and replay the game over and over again for the first time, i totally would

hi dont mind me , i am writing this just after reading the chapter and with swollen eyes with how much i cried for other max, fuck this is worse than the last two chapters, i havent cried this much ever. you have such a brilliant mind i love it.
also i loved magnus in this chapter as well. as well as rafe it seems so much easier to understand them once you see the consequence of lucifer. also
also wtf was wrong with alec, like pointing an arrow is one thing but shooting a version of your kid, wow wasnt max supposed to be his fav technically like a bit biased not saying fav fav. i mean i get it, rafe is his kid of that timeline who is being threatened but shooting max was a bit too much for me from alec. i get it they dont completely understand max but atleast try to see from his side. i knew since arthur died and other max didnt tell it was all part of the plan and lance was aiming to be dead as per him. but it was a bit weird that magnus was more worried about the general health of his kids than alec (which idk just makes him colder to his kids, like almost superficial in a sense, u know what i am not making sense, its 1:36 am ist rn and i have just cried since 12 am bc of this chapter) but i know i am feeling a general sense of disappointment for alec generally in this chapter and like the whole fic in gen and not bc of other things just his take on well being(which used to be my fav thing abt him) which rafe often seems to be more in tune with than alec and yes i know he isnt the main character but idk why this got stuck i have just finished reading it literally so i will come back and write more about other max)
but anyways this was such a good hauntingly beautiful chapter. i loved it really so much. I think it was our max that went thro to the portal so when max came to he was in the changed timeline of whatever max did ? i think. my heart just went out for other max and what he had to deal with, like david suicide was something i saw coming but baby max doesnt deserve all the bad things happening to him in any universe, i knew there was a reason he has always been my fav even when he is annoying. like even in canon like cassie universe, since i started the books from 4th tmi book and then finished the whole series, max was literally the first character i knew of after the tmi novel like outside of his characters and i loved the little blueberry character since the start, always, (maybe also why alec's behaviour stuck odd to me, bc i love his and max relationship so much) bten has always been my fav story( again the alec-max relationship my fav). i literally bought my first tsc novel to be ttosa for him, just for his story ( and bane chronicles bc magnus being a fav is a canon event) i love him so much. bless just let him be alive and happy to some extent dani, that is all i ask
If it is any consolation, I cried a lot writing that chapter too. LIKE A LOT.
About Alec - I think it was a very Alec think to do. If you notice, he was the only one who was sceptical of Other Max - WHICH IS GOOD. This man could be Lucifer for all they know and one of them needed to be rational (i feel the shooting was very much reactional than intentional). But yes, among the LB fam, alec is the rational one and i think his reaction to Other Max, including the "how do we know you are saying the truth" is very practical of him. (i am a lbaf alec defender byeeee)
We don't actually know if Max changed the canon event. All we know is that Other Max didn't. If he did, he'd remmeber it.
Love all the love for Max. He is truly the bestest ;)

minidura chapter 2 react (izaya has stopped functioning)
i already forgot what i named the last post whoops
anyway
Tumblr media
shizuo jumpscare
as a psychology student who is also taking sociology goddamn do i love the whole community aspect of durarara and the forms. wish i could start a festival in my town just by suggesting it online somewhere. it's so cool how you have no idea of the qualifications of the people you talk to (just like on tumblr except this is all ikebukuro people. and izaya)
i wonder if izaya being the only member of the cast (afaik) to not live in ikebukuro is symbolic of how he feels has to distance himself from the chaos at least a little bit in order to not get swept up in it himself. it's like a self restraint type thing
that's probably really obvious though forgive me im still dutsing off my character analysis lack-of-skills ANYWAY
Tumblr media
tom is such a malewife honestly
i dont think ive ever had chocolate bananas before. huh. strawberries sure bananas nah
Tumblr media
he looks so cute in that last panel ghghghjhhrhghgghjf
i dont get to see enough of normal laid back shizuo behavior with all the shizaya art i look at lmfAOO
i swear to god if celty's in a kimono 💀 shinra is about to be the most annoying man alive
Tumblr media
stupid puns my beloved
Tumblr media
the way tom's eyes are drawn in that last panel reminds me of like. american cartoon but i cant put my finger on it
is it arnold from the magic school bus or is it arthur from arthur. who knows
"you absolutely cant get into a fight today" ah so the peace wont last. damn
Tumblr media
EGGPLANTZAYA
i cant wait for izaya to show up this chapter and annoy the living hell out of shizuo
maybe i should make eggplantzaya my profile picture (i wont because im too attached to rantaro. not even him as a character just the profile picture) (also because i cant remember where i found the profile picture and im too scared to let it go)
i see that blurb with the really cute izaya picture on the left and im assuming it's just a "this is orihara izaya btw. he's really annoying and shizuo hates him for ruining his life" type thing but god i wish i could read it anyway ill take any crumbs
Tumblr media
HERE HE COMES!!!!!!!
oh nvm he's getting shafted for now, we transition to-
Tumblr media
WHAT DID I FUCKING TELL YOU
celty in a kimono is inevitable. you cannot escape
she is cute though <3 this might be her first festival since she's irish too damn
that just reminded me god i wish celty talked in a super thick irish accent. some people have already mentioned that but im reiterating it because maybe some abridged series will consider it
Tumblr media
wait oh my god is this gonna be another hotpot party type "izaya organized all this because he's lonely and wants an excuse to hang out with people that tolerate him" thing. amazing wonderful i love the izaya slander going on in this manga today
and i was about to say "oh i guess that wasnt izaya's silhouette in the shizuo-tom panel" but he's holding a chocolate banana 💀rip tom's pay i guess
i can imagine how that went but i dont think ill have to imagine for much longer
Tumblr media
oh yeah it was right in the next panel lmAO at least you got free food izaya dont complain
"he looks like he's having fun" awwwwwwwwwwwww nothing more fun than ticking off shizuo and not getting hurt in the process
just realized he has the constantly closed eyes pff gin ichimaru lookin edgy ass bitch
he opens his eyes like it's a dramatic supervillain reveal but it's really just him being lonely. thanks for always exposing him shinra mwah
Tumblr media
WHY IS HE ACTING SO EVIL. doing the fucking arm spread like this is a bad thing what is wrong with him
i love how mikado shinra and celty are looking at each other like "this fucking guy. cant have one normal conversation"
Tumblr media
PFFFFFFFFFFFF
i know shinra is laughing his ass off beneath those glasses rn
izaya's face is amazing actually. you know that one scene in bungou stray dogs wan where atsushi gets dazai a gift and dazai glitches out and stops processing information because he doesnt know how to handle appreciation. this is literally that scene
huh. now i understand why durarara and bsd always get recommended together
Tumblr media
KILL HIM MIKADO!! KILL HIM WITH KINDNESS HE'S ALREADY HALFWAY TO HELL
literal proof that izaya ceases to function when someone actually likes him. idc that this isn't canon it's canon because i say so
(side note MAN did they have to give airi noticable cleavage even in her chibi form. come on. you didnt do it for celty you dont have to do it to her 😭 the amount of fanservice with her drives me nuts in the main series)
Tumblr media
my man is BROKEN just look at him
Tumblr media Tumblr media
local gay baby realizes he accidentally made everyone happy. oops
walker and erika in the background too <3 they're so cute ugh
Tumblr media
YOU DUMBASS
i knew itd be another hotpot thing oh mygod he's so. fucking idiot you couldve just tagged along with them 😭
it's only once he imagines shizuo that he snaps too pffffffffft
also namie appearance!!!!!!! hope she appears more in future chapters
10/10 chapter would bully izaya again
Tumblr media
oops almost missed the ending drawing!! so cuteeee <3333

Hey you tagged that post abt John liking fizzy drinks? This is your excuse to talk as much about that as you want
... you have unleashed something in me
now typically you'd say "but red! harlan says john doesnt like eating!"
and to you I say:
a) respectfully, harlan mightve made these guys but the moment I started the podcast they became my little guys. john likes fizzy drinks
b) i think john doesnt enjoy eating simply because he cannot taste food.
and when he tries fizzy drinks for the first time, with his own body, oh boy it makes him feel more alive than yknow doin human stuff with arthur
picture this:
john has a body that looks mostly human. he's finally dragging arthur to see snow white and the seven dwarves. but oh? what's this arthur? food? in a movie theater? but won't the chewing noises be too loud? what did you say, it's part of ✨️experience✨️, oh well than we have to get some!
sadly for john, arthur does not warn him that sodas are very carbonated, as I call them are functionally spicy juice, and john curses out a little bit too much when he drinks and they don't get to watch snow white bcs they get kicked out :(
so he develops an intense distaste for fizzy drinks until one night arthur drags him to the bar because john! you forced me to watch a movie, which insensitive by the way, and then got us publicly kicked out really its the least you could do
and so he goes, because no one has ever said no to arthur, and there arthur makes him try yet another human abomination: alcohol. except this is 10000x times worse than the sodas, it has no twang! it's just bitter water that could possibly burn your throat and ruin your liver!
arthur, having grown up during the prohibition, took a fancy to it simply for the novelty but john wouldn't stand for such unpleasant human creations, he used to be the fragment of a powerful god after all
and so he orders a coke, which yknow yeah maybe sucked at the movies, but it was less sad then ordering water. but oh! wait this, this is actually not all that bad, if you know what to expect, it's sweet but not sickeningly so, and leaves a quietly pleasant feeling in your stomach and arthur what other drinks like this are there?
so yes maybe, arthur and john end up ordering almost every fizzy drink at the bar, cotton club, dr peppers, pepsi (after this john started the pepsi vs coke debate die mad about it) you name it they drank it.
and if they also got a little bit drunk and looked just a little bit insane ordering all those drinks to the bar-goers, well that was how things always ended with them anyways
next time! why john is an avid guitar player and arthur is probably a dog person with a cat personality!

headcannons for alfred, Romano, and a little bit about Toris
y’all like these so… yeah Brain time anywho-
Alfred is very clingy and affectionate but tries his best to respect any set boundaries placed by Freinds on affection, especially since he knows his strength can potentially hurt people-
- However, he does not know these boundaries unless they are clearly stated because either he does ent realize because the adhd and differences in processing, or because he notices something but overthinks it to the point where he just thinks he’s being irrational.
that’s one of the reasons he became so close to Mano so quickly, romano takes no shit from anyone because he’s done doing so. He’s sets his boundaries very quickly and directly and doesn’t try to sugarcoat the fact that someone has made him uncomfortable. Some people perceive this as him being anisocial or pushing people away, but if you respect the set boundaries and just get to know him you see the true Romano and eventually some of those boundaries begin to dissolve a little bit.
romano dissent like affection from anyone he’s not super close to. He makes that clear. Alfred respected that as much as an over affectionate person could, by finding different ways to express affection. Offering fistbumps and high fives as opposed to hugs. Not taking up too much space on the couch so Romano can have his personal space. Eventually as they became closer while living together Romano started being more open to affection, leaning on people, offering hugs, ruffling Alfred’s hair, though most affection initiated by him it was still a change. Romank also showed affection in different ways, checking on alfred so he didn’t iverwork himself, helping Tori’s cook in the kitchen, showing his art to the others, opening up about his past, giving occasional compliments, hanging up in Poland when he tried to call Toris because damn that bastardo is so annoying.
though Romano is also bad seeing other peoples emotions sometime. For alfred he processes differently and grew up with rather non-expressive, yet dramatic people. He was raised to be a weapon and a recourse who could handle public relations, and to Arthur that didn’t involve teaching him how to read emotikn… thank god Gilbert came around. Anyways, Romano had the exact opposite. He grew up with hyper expressive Antonio and Lovino. he was raised to express his opinion as opposed to repressing emotion. However that mean he’s used to just easily being able to read people and so when he can’t he tenses up( one of the reasons he doesnt like Ludwig). Because of all of this, Toris is usually the one to help them read people, giving them a look to convey a negative or positive emotion. He tries to communicate effectively and express when he has the energy.
Though, that’s not to say that alfred and Romano are bad at emotions or that Toris is amazing at them. Toris feels that he needs to resolve every conflict and miscommunication because of his history with Russia who could be slightly temperamental if accidentally spurred. Because of this he get involved in exhausting unnecessary drama and is rumored to be dramatic himself by the other countries. Alfred overtime notices many small details about people like their stims, hyperfixtations, sounds, ect. This helps him figure out what they’re feeling and what he can do to help form his personal experience and patterns in their behavior. Some find it off-putting but it can be endearing. Romano will talk to people the cares about when he thinks they’re upset and gives them a chance to vent. He gives the vibe of a someone who’s done with life, but really cares about people, and those things combine into what Toris and alfred call parental Romano. He tells them their feelings are valid, gives them a game plan, offers emotional support or to just stay with them or get someone else who may be better equipped to handle the situation. His pep talks are a little bit blunt but that can make them funny at points.
nowadays, the three of them are all very comfortable with eachother. So comfortable that some countries suspect they are together. after all, how could anyone ever tolerate Alfred’s forehead kisses, and hugs, and overly-friendly personality if they weren’t dating him. Or tolerate romanos smart ads comments that get barks of laughter out of the other two. Or Tori’s’s frequent well being checks all the time?! I mean really it’s a wonder. Though the rumor of them dating began to spread quickly when they were found late to a meeting, all in a cuddle pile on the pullout couch bed in alfreds hotel room I. Front on the tv, alfred “sleep hugger” jones holding Romano closely to his side which Romano is comfortably slumped into, while toris is lying down , head laying on Alfred’s thighs, wrapped In a blanket, with Alfred’s hand on his head as though stroking his hair.
francis of course was the one to find them. Of course, he also started the rumor. However to everyone else who personally knows the three like Kiku and mathew, they all know this is normal for the them. ( or is it more…) idk , ships it if you want and don’t ship it if you don’t. I personally think it’s a really cute shop though I just see this as really good friends. ( though that’s mainly because in my hetalia storyline that’s in my head I gave alfred and oc bf so….yeah) just dudes being bros, living together, cuddling, being all cute to impress eachother…

I actually lost sleep over merlin last night and i still have a lot of thoughts
i never actually watched the show after the first time through when i was 14. And the impressions i was left with this entire time was: merlin is gay; arthur and gwen are SO cute but i still think merthur is even stronger; morgana's downfall makes me depressed because once they were all friends and then she betrays them all; poor merlin trying his hardest to make the parts of destiny he likes happen and the parts he doesnt like NOT happen, he is literally a tragic hero and for all his efforts, for all his sacrifice and the time he spent closeted, arthur still dies and the ending made me sob for a week
But now that i'm rewatching i feel like i remembered it completely wrong and i feel like a lot of people do too. Yes the ending is tragic and it hits as hard as it did because we've always knownit was going to end like this, they've been telling us since season 1!!
But its also tragic because..merlin is such a damn bootlicker. Its tragic to see him stop fighting for his rights and even stop WANTING to stand up for himself. All he cares about is arthur arthur arthur, and i dont just mean this like he's obsessed in a bad way because he loves kissing the monarchy's ass. ITS BECAUSE MERLIN IS 100% ACTUALLY GENUINELY IN LOVE WITH ARTHUR! And arthur loves him a lot too, just not romantically. ANDTHESE TWO ASPECTS ONLY MAKE MERLIN'S SITUATION ALL THE MORE TRAGIC AND PATHETIC.
For some reason I remembered this show as being so sad because For The Power Of Good, merlin had to sacrifice living openly. When really this show is so sad because Merlin willingly submits and renounces his rights, his fire, his rightful desire for respect for himself and his kind all because he is in love with a man who, if he knew the real him, would have him exiled or even executed
And you know what? There's elements of that same Tragedy Of Bootlicking in gwen and gaius as well. Both have been wrongfully accused and nearly executed by uther (gwen's father was ACTUALLY executed by him) and yet they continue to not only not seek revenge (which fair enought, thats your choice) but they continue to serve under him DIRECTLY at his fucking palace. ?!?!? Logic?!?! Logic where did you go?!?
Gaius has been criticized in the show by other sorcerers for betraying their kind for standing by as they were slaughtered and now working directly for uther. Why?!? Why did gaius do this?!? Honestly, i have to believe it was just fear and cowardice and convenience. His other choice was exile or maybe death and he chose submission. MUCH LIKE MERLIN!!
What about gwen? Why does she stay in camelot after her father is murdered? How can she possibly bear it? Because she is in love with a man who she believes will bring about a new era of prosperity and peace and rights (for servants and the lower class in general). MUCH LIKE MERLIN!! (Except he also wants rights for those with magic)
Morgana is the only bitch i respect around here. She is the only one who says "you know what? Fuck this and fuck you, i will not submit just because i have blind faith in the hope that one day things might be a bit different". Oooo and she is the villain of this tale, i see... just because she refuses to bootlick...

i really do hate sds and only like a solid maybe 5 characters and heres why
(spoilers because i cant talk about my hatred for this anime without spoiling it)
theres so much pedophilia. i dont give a jack shit if shes the repetitively reincarnated version of your lost lover meliodas STOP groping a 16 YEAR OLD!!! “the age of consent in japan is 16″ die. that isnt even true, the age of consent varies by reigon. but even then, sds does not take place in japan or anywhere that even exists on earth, so shut up
and then there’s ban who engages in a relationship and has children with an actual child “elaine’s thousands of years old!!” that is a CHILD and if you’re attracted to that, and if you think that’s okay, i ask for you to seek help because if you did not feel uncomfortable at all watching his romance boil and kiss someone who looks like she is 6 you have serious issues
the only scene i genuinely like is that one scene in the first season when meliodas and ban reunite and bro so hard they break an indestructible barrier and all their problems were solved yeah man i didnt even need absolute cancel i just threw my bro through 13 different walls and it just busted
then theres the typical anime thing where the men should be twinks but are ripped for no reason. technically this isnt problematic but you seriously cant look at him and think nah man that dude has an 8 pack
Tumblr media
that is a twink. and im not sorry
then theres your standard “these characters should have been gay” and then they werent like guila and jericho were a thing at one point and nobody in the world could convince me otherwise 
and there are scenes so laughably bad, like when veronica kisses tiny griamore on the head and he reverts back to normal size except all of his clothes are ripped and hes ass naked. then guila comes in and just. blasts him (this scene was both actually horrible and legendary at the same time)
then this is more of a dub thing but some of the voices are actually so bad. why does zeldris sound like that. that is a short emo man that is not a buff member of the swat team
fanservice is bad too. you cant tell me nerobasta’s back doesnt HURT from those actually gargantuan jugs. i dont even think those are possible. that dress is hanging on for dear life. this doesnt even work you cant trick me into thinking this animes good by putting e cup anime titties in my face

anyway this anime’s a 10/10 i recommend it to uh to uh uh a very large audience
and the movies arent that great either, especially cursed by light because you spend have of this plot lollygagging and then suddenly everythings fine, but youre still halfway through the movie so elizabeths mommy has to descend and start throwing hands and with the power of teamwork the cast defeats this universe’s version of god the only part i like about that movie is the two 10 second scenes where arthur and merlin are present and the whole time they’re just like 🧍 ominously
is there anything i like? plot wise, absolutely not i cant think of anything but i do like some of the characters
diane, while annoying a lot of the time, was genuinely okay. she was my first kin and for that she’s pretty close to my heart. but her intense infatuation with meliodas in the first chunk of the anime actually drove me up a wall, but she does get better
king was pretty great, and while a little bland, i still liked him. hes also dubbed by max mittelman and that just increases my adoration for him
gowther is... gowther. the buildup of a tall muscular man in armor but is actually a pink haired androgynous twink was great i loved that, i cosplayed him in 2020 and i still say “✌️sparkle!” to this day
escanor was pretty cool until he... wasnt... and then im not gonna say any more (rest in peace king)
i liked gilthunder after he was out of his emo phase and even enjoyed him when he was still in it. the circumstances of his villain arc were generally stupid as well as confusing and vivian’s existence gets on my nerves but gil was cool, along with howzer, who is probably one of the most horrendous looking characters ive ever seen (as controversial as that statement is) but at least hes funny. theyre also voiced by robbie daymond and ray chase, so if youre a persona fan, like, come on this duo is iconic (duo. i have a strong dislike of griamore and to my concern he does not exist)
merlin, i liked merlin. i liked merlin. a lot. for reasons. for a lot of reasons. she was she was uh and her character arc and backstory was um... i liked merlin yes i did
okay i cant not talk about arthur anymore. i love arthur. hes my little closeted ginger homosexual guy and he’s just great. he has actually zero idea whats happening at any given time but still is op as all hell, and i just love him. he has a baby face and is dubbed by zach aguilar so its really hard for me to not just want to hug him when he died that extremely brutal death i just sat there like ☹️ come on man thats not cool you cant kill off the best character and expect me to keep watching this
yeah thats right i never even finished it. i was a huge sds fan in like 2018 when season 4 and season 5 werent out yet, and then i stopped liking it, and when they did come out, i never finished. i watched a couple general scenes, and im very aware of the plot and what happens after the point i stopped watching and as much of a hate watcher i am there is no way that those last couple seasons are even sort of worth my time. ill watch the movies whenever they come out but... i cant handle any more than that.
anyway seven deadly sins is actually horrible and nobody should watch it unless its the filler episodes where the characters sit around and complain all day because those have the capability of being fun

so i watched the School for Good and Evil
ya’ll should know that i’ve never once touched the books, i am going into this blind and just wanna see how the movie does, as a prolific movie watcher and just that
right off the bat, i see we got JESPER FROM SHADOW AND BONE I LOVE THIS DUDE;
so they’re brothers, vv cool, oh is the Red one the evil one? yep i was right
it’s weird bc they’re brothers played by the same guy yet he just has great chemistry with himself
also, the mood just flipped from 0 to a 100 real quick, what just happened
i feel like they should’ve shown us them being brotherly and having arguments and maybe see Rafal slowly get angrier at his side always losing, bc really there was no way to see it coming. i could’ve done with a quick montage of them running the school and him growing angrier
“i prefer chaos” me too but could we get more reasons as to this whole thing other than just ‘evil’ ?
oh damn, the bad one died, i thought it would’ve been the opposite way
(but he aint really dead right? i mean)
so both girls are just hated on by the town, i can see them taking revenge together, lets all choose evil hm?
Aggie and Sophie Forever? *cough* gay
love that they just dont give a shit about what the peoples say; like insults thrown they just fly past them
Sophie just Rapunzeled this creep with a frying pan, im loving her, if i could i would choose violence too babe
“I seriously doubt there are any decent people in Gavaldon.” me too babe
so Sophie wants to get out and doesnt wanna settle for an ordinary life, why not just move in with Aggie and live out your happy lives together?
i wonder if we’ll see what happened to Leonora
so everyone ends up in the water when they get to their school? that’s a way to arrive
WOW i love the werewolf guard
“God I hate move-in day.” why do i vibe with this canine dude so much
i love that there’s a tower between the two schools, wonder what happens there
oh so Hort is Captain Hook’s kid. huh.
Tedros has got nothing on Eugene Fitzherbert
Tedros is King Arthurs kid? hm. better luck next time.
OH HE LOST HIS ARM I LOVE IT
THERE’S SOME ACTUAL DISMEMBERMENT HERE
oh hey its older Rhain, i love the actor’s work on Blackish
i mean hey look on the brightside, you got your own room to yourself
oh those bitches locked you up come on guys
if i were you i would’ve switched clothes, scaling a balcony in a dress cant be easy
whats with the creepy Cupid
WHY WOULD YOU SHOOT YOUR STUDENTS WITH ARROWS IF THEY WERE ON THE LEDGE
SOPHIE TURNING THE KNIFE ON HER WAS SO FUN
IS THAT OLIVIA RODRIGO’S BRUTAL YES
so if you can’t get a prince then you’re destined to end up as an anthropomorphic kitchen object or an animal?
what the actual fuck.
please tell me this entire school structure gets redone in the end
Hort has the makings of a good henchmen once Sophie gets more of a handle on her boss side
Gregor is a guy i can vibe with
idk who that random guy was with Sophie kissing him but he just made me laugh
Sophie growing into her evil side is showing and im liking it
Tedros and Aggie have a fun dynamic, hopefully he doesnt disappointment
again, i’d love it if both girls go for Evil
they talked about how Good and Evil are not really balanced, haven’t been for 200 years, so it’d be interesting if both of them go for Evil (even thou im pretty sure thats not where its gonna go)
imagine hearing your son got killed in school, damn, bye Gregor
how is this side of the school truly good if this is what you do to kids that fail?
OH MY FUCK ITS THE MONSTROUS NIGHTMARE FROM HTTYD I LOVE IT
not Rafal coming in and telling everyone Sophie’s a badass
ugh, Lesso had a thing with Rafal? i was counting on her and Dovey having a secret thing
oh fuck, that’s so sad, oh she let this little girl be free, holy shit that’s epic and sad and just damn, i loved it
whats with the big bird, what’s his problem now??
i like that Dovey is very aware of how fucked up the other princesses are about being ‘good’ and recognizes that Agatha actually is good, paralleling how Sophie is actually evil
the Nevers are some sadistic little freaks huh? i get it
Sophie’s in her villain era and im not sorry about it
Sophie said villains can be hot too
i miss Gregor
why do i kinda ship them? Tedros and Sophie? like they’re not exactly in it for like the deep stuff, you can tell it was more of an appearance based relationship with Sophie having him think she’s truly Good, etc. and considering how he’s been so far tells you what kinda prince he is so really they’re kinda perfect for each other.
ya’ll really wanna risk death outside the gates for each other? i mean Sophie, he’s pretty and Tedros, you talked to her like twice, one time she shot correctly so i mean, how well do you know her that you wanna be together?
Anemone was demoted to beautification? so legit EVERYONE here knows how badly the Good School has fallen, hot damn
OH Lesso was Leonora, fun
YO SOPHIE FLIPPING THE SCHOOLS WAS GENIUS I LOVE THAT
while i dont vibe with the whole thing that this immortal who knows how old man seeks out his true love in Sophie, who im pretty sure is liks 16 or 17 or smth, i love how he corrupted good
BC IT MAKES SENSE
HAVING THE GOOD SIDE BE ABOUT GIRLS PRACTICING THEIR SMILES, REWARDING THEM FOR THEIR REVENGE IN THE END, STUDENTS WHO FAIL THREE TIMES GET BOOTED, GOOD BECAME JUST AS BAD IT’S SO SUBTLE AND IT WORKS
ok but i kinda love that the girls parallel the brothers from the beginning

Rank the peaky men from who you'd want to sleep with the most to least 😬
So difficult for me near the top of the list because i can't pick between favourites really.
1. Bonnie would be the all round sweetest to sleep with i think, physically i find him most attractive (i am a sucker for that classic irish blue eyes black hair combo) Bonnie would definitely look after you, you know he'd be gentle with you your first time and hold back from going to hard unless you begged him... He'd be worried about hurting you. He'd be super cute afterwards as well, you know hed lie there with you, smothering you with kisses, lots of praise. He'd definitely accidentally fall asleep afterwards though and his snores would be v cute.
2. Alfie... Besties I've had such a silly wee daddy issues crush on Aflie since i was like 16 years old and i have not grown out of it. Now I'm the kind of girl who gets incredibly self concious and shy when i go on top and i tend to avoid it unless someone can make me feel comfortable enough with them... But i swear to god Alfie would just have to give me half of one of his little Alfie style speeches and tell me to come sit in his lap and id be all his.
Maybe he can't go on top or really go hard with you because of his injury but you know that doesnt mean hes gonna give up control of you. He'd be talking you through everything with one hand on your neck completely in control of you and hed be full of praise for you too.
3. This is where it gets kind of hard to choose but... Isaiah is 3rd because i am such a little bitch for arrogant and cocky classic bad boy stereotypes. Hes also just really. Fucking. Hot. If this man addressed me i would melt, id blush id trip over my tongue... Id be totally flustered and it would boost his ego and he'd be all the harder and faster in bed for it. Definitely going to treat u like a little whore and then sing your praises after.
4. Tommy - daddy issues again sorry guys. I want to misbehave, get myself into all kinds of trouble and then have him really calmly, sternly put me in my place. I read a fic on here once where he took y/n up against a wall, held her neck in his hand and forced her to look up at him. He points his finger between him and her and all he says is "respect the boundaries" and yh... Want Tommy Shelby to tell me to respect the boundaries.
5. John - I'm not gonna lie to you i always used to find john to be too sulky and childish for me, but there is something quite attractive about the thought of bringing him out of that sulk if you know what i mean? I also think hes the type to have a complex and need to tell you "youre mine" over and over whilst he's fucking you. As if him fucking you doesnt make that quite clear already.
6. Arthur - the same with the "you're mine" thing hes definitely growling/spitting that into your ear whilst hes taking you from behind. Also imagine being all snowed up in the bath with him and fucking, having a cigarette and then fucking again. His temper would scare me though, i get scared when someone's genuinely angry with me and arthurs angry sex would probably make me cryyyyy lolllllllll like if he shouted id just die.
But i do also think hes got a sweet side and would be devoted to you in a sense and that would be hot.
7. Freddie Thorne - sexy sexy communism mmmmm (see also, Ada Thorne)
8. Aberama - lowkey have a thing for an attractive but slightly sleazy older man and i would probably let him do anything to me)
9. Michael - would you believe this boy was once at the top of my list, my list used to go Michael, Alfie, Tommy... And then Bonnie, Michael, Alfie... And then one day i just stopped famcying blonde men 😭 (B says thats called becoming an adult haha) i also hate how he became so spoilt and entitled. I liked him when he still had some of the innocent in him. Being bad didnt suit him the way it suits Tommy and the others and i think it's because deep down the others actually do care about their families and their principles. In order to be a Blinder Michael has to lose all the principles he was raised on and take up a new set... He literally has to sacrifice his backbone to fit in with Tommy and i think if you can change urself that easy u have tiny dick energy and ur not to be trusted in or out of bed. He probably takes more than he gives.

i actually disagree. not every character has to be a favorite (as we all know) and there's nothing wrong with not liking them. You dont need a good reason. As long as they don't spread hate against them, quitely not liking them is fine.
it doesnt make someone misogynistic or racist to just not like a character. its a neutral thing, not everyone's vibe will suit everyone, and not everyone finds the same character interesting.
on the whole are female characters neglected across fandom? sure.
That doesn't mean a person should force themselves to like a paring or a character, just so they dont offend someone LMAO thats not what fandom is for. its people engaging with shit they love for fun and creating stuff from that love.
You seem to be missing my point and manipulating my words.
I did not say that disliking Guinevere makes you misogynistic or racist, but that there are people who ARE that will spread hate.
When I say you need a “reason” not to like a character, that reason can be as simple as “I don’t like her personality” or “I don’t like her vibe”.
THAT is a personal preference a person can have about a character that has nothing to do with a fan-driven ship.
Saying “Gwen sucks because she ruins Merthur!” has nothing to do with her as a character or her portrayal. It is not a commentary or opinion of her character at all, but just a blatantly rude statement because Merthur is not in the show.
If Merlin and Arthur were set up and explored as a potential relationship within the context of the show, and they ended up not doing it/breaking them up within the show, saying you don’t like Guinevere for her role in that plot line would be completely valid. Because they are not explored as a potential relationship, that is not a real criticism of her character.
Nothing I have said implies that you have to like Guinevere, or her relationship with Arthur.
I personally like the chemistry he and Merlin have better. If they had been willing or planning to go that route, I would have much preferred it, but that is not what happened, and that does not mean that what we got is inherently bad because of my personal preference.
People mistake opinions for critiques.
Do not misunderstand, many critiques are opinions, but most opinions are not critiques.
For example: my mother cannot watch the first fifteen minutes of Pixar’s Up because it upsets her too much. She then goes on to say that “it’s horrible”.
Those are two entirely separate concepts. You can dislike something, or be upset by something, but still recognize the quality of that something.
This can work both ways. You can love something, and recognize the lack of quality in it.
Cult classics are a fantastic example. The film Rocky Horror Picture Show is not a well-made, high quality movie. In this case, that is an intentional part of the film’s goal, but regardless, nearly every part of that movie is lackluster in execution. However, I and many other people love it. I am not saying that it is a good film because I personally love it. I can recognize something as poor quality even if I personally enjoy it.
In regards to Guinevere, you are well within your right not to like her. I have my own qualms with the character myself. Her writing in later seasons started lacking the spark and personality she had in season 1, in a way that was clearly not an intentional development. Notice how I did not outright say “Guinevere is a bad character” just because I feel her writing got worse.
When you choose to share your opinion in a public space, you should be thoughtful of how you do so. Not everyone will be, obviously, but if you have no ill intentions, you should be.
THAT is what I mean when I say you should have a “real reason” for disliking a character. If you have an opinion that is a valid personal preference you want to share, that is completely fine, but otherwise, you should “quietly dislike the character” as you put it.
Even if you do not intend spread hate with your own post, there are people who will use it as an opportunity for them to do so.
THAT is my point.
You are correct. Fandoms are meant to be places to engage with something they love, to create and talk about it with other fans. It is meant to be fun, which is why more people, in all fandoms, should think more when choosing what to say and what not to say and how to say it.
If more people made the individual effort to be polite and understanding with their opinions of media, so many fandoms would not be as toxic as they are.
THAT is my goal in saying all this.
I have not been perfect in the past with being considerate or polite in sharing my opinions, and every time, it led to negativity and frustration that could’ve been avoid if I or the other person had stopped to consider how our words could come across.
It ruins the experience of a fandom for the people involved, and many times steers curious individuals away from the content itself out of fear or distaste for the fandom’s behavior.
I hope that this clears things up a bit.
