Hey. This has been stuck in my head since day 1. Please someone else listen to it.

so @filmamir put the idea in my head to draw Bruce integrated/fused with the Guilt Hulk... He's a pathetic freaky little thing who's just really confused and full of self-hatred. He's just as smart as Bruce, but can't express himself nearly as well. Communicates mostly in noises or short words/phrases (Guilt Hulk communicates telepathically in my headcanon, so Bruce kinda loses his ability to speak well).

Also, he's kinda puppy. Give him scritches.

Oh look more 6 and 7 thoughts cuz I've watched it thrice now and have lost all control of my life <3333

The whole 'feels like there's a storm coming' thing feels like Ed knowing he did something bad, he just doesn't remember it was baiting Ned. It's that good old adhd 'shit i know i should be feeling anxious about something but i can't remember what' feel.

Stede is sitting with Ed in his guilt room. That’s sweet :')

Ed’s not in there alone. Stede didn’t just throw it in a corner to ignore it, he’s in it with Ed, helping him to figure out a way through it.

Purple being the color of the tie thingy around Ricky's fake nose is interesting.

something something destructive consequences of Ed’s love something something?

I did NOT appreciate Steak Knife's fabulous belt the first 2 times through.

That is glorious.

Auntie knew something was up with Ricky by the way.

She didn't trust that mofo.

Another thought about Ned drowning - mirrors when Ed pushed Lucius off the side of the ship, a kind of a 'no turning back' moment maybe.

Lol caught Roach in his clay mask.

Hey guess what Ed can’t meet Stede’s eyes when he says last night was a mistake and he isn’t ready cuz he’s lying

He only looks at him when he says he doesn’t know who he is and doesn’t want to be a pirate because that's the truth. Local puppy man can't lie to his bf.

Small dog kitten man.

Hey is it just my imagination or is this guy

The same one from the first ep?

Cuz that'd be funny.

Oh and also Bill is everything. Bill is my new favorite. Lookit this fucking weirdo.

I would die for you Bill.

been quite absorbed in writing When the Silver Grove Calls but i found a snippet of val that i abandoned a while ago

please accept this rushed, unedited, half-finished piece of writing as a peace offering while i slowly finish up the prologue and the promised prompts <3

Val grimaces as they lean over the cardboard box of stuff they had left at the back of their closet for five months. Dust had settled into grooves of the box and a delicate network of half-ripped cobwebs lied limp and dead against the floor.

Val had dragged it out as they would a corpse. And it's with the same nauseated expression that they open the flaps and reach inside.

Their fingers brush against the edges of photographs that once decorated their desk and bedside table.

They really should've been paying more attention to what they were packing. But, it was a little difficult to Marie Kondo their way around the things that spark joy when they were desperately trying to pack their entire life into three boxes and escape their roommate—ex roommate—before they heard an apology.

Any semblance of an apology would've broken them. They could never deny you.

Their thoughts take a painful tumble to you—as they often do—and their fingers absent-mindedly pick out a stack of photographs at random.

Dust swirls around their trembling hands as they parse through playgrounds, birthdays, field trips, and sleepovers. You were such a fixture in their memories. It annoys them to no end; it's impossible to leave you in the past when you bleed into every corner of their life.

Inexplicably, their index finger catches on a crumpled piece of paper tucked behind a photo of you at graduation.

With furrowed brows, Val picks it out and smooths out the wrinkles on their knee.

Val, Dear Val,

Starts the abandoned letter.

Trick or Treat! 👻

* Trick-or-treat first manifested in NA around 1911, so I blurred the years a lot for this little ficlet. Enjoy!

Definitions Unclear

"That ain't the sort of trick they meant, Marston," Arthur growls out, voice low and rough with frustration.

John gives him a blank look that shifts straight into annoyance. "Then why'd they offer it?"

"'Cause it's a trick OR treat, not a trick, THEIR treat."

"The hell they get off on false advertising?" John demands. "Offering up tricks and leaving a guy hanging without nothing?!"

"The hell you get off on thinking they meant you'd get a free time with one of them fine bathing ladies in all that?" Arthur gestures towards the saloon and hotel, where they'd been enjoying things before John got 'em locked up here in the local sheriff's cell by crying foul over nothing.

John rolls his eyes. "I ain't dumb, Arthur," he shoots back, knocking the side of his fist against the bars. "Abigail done told me her line of work's all about turning tricks."

The attitude, that unfounded confidence, has him scruff John about the neck and shove him against the wall. Arthur opens his mouth to correct him, but the grin John bears has him pause, as does the way John holds his arms up and back against the wall in smug surrender. "...you damn well knew it ain't meant that."

John shrugs and hooks an ankle around Arthur's knee to stumble him closer. "There were too many damn folk there," he says, close as to agreement as his cocky look allows, "weren't no better way to get us some alone time than a bit of lock up."

"Yer a goddamned menace."

Whatever you think about Jenate, it's impossible to ignore that Nate *always* cared about Jenny, from season 1 when they first met.

It's something really beautiful even if you don't look at it through a romantic lens.

Part 1

"you know, I swore i felt something. but I thought, 'no, if merlin were hurt he would contact me. the others would contact me."

"we were going to, but..."

"but what? you didn't want to upset Ark?"

"well no, but it's also not the kind of conversation to have over the phone. I knew you'd respond like this"

"oh, what a load of bull!"

"you know, I didn't do this when you and Gwen got married! I didn't do this when she hurt you!"

"That was different! she was under a spell, she couldn’t control herself!"

"and who's to say Ark can?"

silence.

"they're sick, Arthur. really sick. and I'm just trying to help them as best I can. same as I do with you." "you know, I thought waiting fifteen hundred years for you would be enough to prove my loyalty-"

"merlin-"

"but apparently it wasn't."

"don't say that-"

"I'm going to go visit my mother. don't follow me."

"merlin!"

-

"Kinsley, my dear! it's so good to see you again!"

a soft smile. "you too, hunith."

"what are you doing here again so soon? surely the journey can't be easy for you."

merlin and kin exchange looks. he shakes his head, she plows on anyway.

"emotional support."

"whatever for?"

a sigh, and he speaks up. "I had a row with arthur"

a laugh "well, don't you always?"

"it was... different this time."

"how so?"

"how about we go inside?" - merlin

-

"alright. now that we have some tea, why don't you tell me what's going on."

"we don't have to-"

"merlin, you specifically came to talk to your mother. I can tell her if you'd rather?"

he glares at her. hunith hides a giggle behind her mug.

merlin sighs. "it's about Ark."

"your other partner from far away, yes? the one who helped us?"

"yes."

"well you've told me Arthur has a jealous streak. I for one would very much like to meet your mysterious hero."

kin chuckles. "if they heard you say that they'd be in shock."

"bit of a humble thing, that one?"

"you have no idea." -kin

"it would be hard for you to meet them, anyway. they hardly see us as it is." -merlin

"hopefully that will change in the future." kin puts a comforting hand on Merlin's knee.

"so what's the fuss all about this time then? what's got arthur cross?"

"i... Ark, they..."

hunith waits patiently.

merlin swallows back tears, frustrated and unsure how to explain.

kin touches Merlin's knee again, gives it a squeeze. he looks at her and nods.

hunith and kin turn to each other.

"Ark is... very complicated." Kin starts. "some might say even more than Merlin, if that's possible," she chuckles.

hunith nods, looking at her son. her son who is so much older than her, and maybe always has been.

"if merlin is magic itself," she explains slowly, making sure hunith already understood that. "then Ark is what came before magic. they're the universe itself."

hunith nods. it's confusing, but the elf knows she's sharper than she lets on, and is following along.

"Ark is human, and spirit, and a god, and beast."

"they're like dragons, or the sidhe, or the triple goddess," merlin clarifies in terms hunith is familiar with.

"and unfortunately," kin picks up again, "at the moment, the beast part of them is what's winning over everything else." she holds her cup with both hands, and takes a sip. "there are... possible reasons for this. but I don't know for sure which, and unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to tell you even if I did."

hunith looks confused at that.

"Kin's like court advisor, or the village elder," merlin jokes. "got secrets she can't share"

both women laugh, kin rolls her eyes.

"so..." hunith urges.

kin inhales, then exhales. "well-" she starts.

merlin interrupts. "I'll... I'll take it from here."

"okay."

"Ark is... sick. very sick. like Kin said, the beast part is taking over. and that beast is craving blood."

his mother puts a hand to her mouth in shock.

"they can't control it," he rushes to say. "they don't want it. they're..." he tears his eyes away and looks down at his tea. "they're disgusted with themself." he whispers.

hunith's brow furrows in concern.

"and they... they're hungry. or rather... they were."

an eyebrow raised, now.

"they, well." the sorcerer starts to flush red, tugging at his neckerchief. he puts his cup down on the table, then pulls at his long sleeve.

kin decided to speak up again. "your son very nobly offered to help."

eyes turn to the elf.

"we all would have, but Merlin's the only one who got through to them."

abruptly, merlin stands up. "kin can you, it's just you're better at..." chewing on his thumbnail, he glances at his mother, straightens himself up, then clears his throat. "sorry, i just. need some air."

"go ahead, son," hunith says, leaning forward in her seat.

wiping his eyes, he leaves the hut quickly. he smiles politely at the other villagers, and strides across the pathways. within a minute, he's reached the forest, and doesn't hesitate walking in.
