Writing my first fan fic! It was gonna just be for me, but after finding a severe LACK of any fics of BBC’s Mordred, I decided I might actually share it when I’m happy with it.

Anyway, literally no one asked for it, but here’s the constructive criticism I gave myself while half asleep at 12 am, as well as my friend’s “helpful input”.

#I’ve only been working on this for like…2 months #bbc merlin #mordred #bbc mordred #mordred x reader #they have the kind of chemistry that Merlin and Arthur have #including the banter #I think I’m judging myself a bit too harshly #or maybe not harshly enough #maybe I won’t actually post it so my partner who’s actually a writer won’t see it and feel ashamed at how bad it probably is #writing fics is hard #writing is hard #why did no one tell me #I lied everyone told me #I just didn’t listen #maybe I should just go to sleep

she says he won't let her get a dog, which is fine, because they're in an apartment, and that's the kind of thing people say about their partners. he won't let me get a dog. and you're at a dinner party and you tilt your head a little to the side just like that dog he won't let her get, because is this the thing that's going to upset you? you don't know every corner of their relationship, she could be joking, they could have had so many healthy conversations about the dog, right, and maybe she's not letting herself get the dog because of money and time and whatever. but, like, she did say let

and she wants to move away from his hometown and he wants to stay and then he tells you with a wink and a conspiratorial stage whisper don't worry i'll convince her and she laughs about it - so clearly this is something they laugh about. but you do just stand there and stare at him like what the fuck, man. you can't say what you want to say which is why do you get the final say on everything because they're both obviously aware of the other person's stance on this and have obviously had private conversations about it and what are you going to do about it except make a scene and then he'll be mad at you and call you one of those bitches behind your back and she'll cut you off, which is a loss that doesn't feel worth it just because he makes you a little skeeved out every 3rd comment

and they both agree he just isn't the type to get flowers which is fine because everyone shows love differently, and are you really gonna judge someone based on their sense of individual relationship responsibility? maybe he's constantly cleaning her car and writing her poems and making her furniture or something. maybe she doesn't even like flowers and this is perfect, actually. and no you couldn't date him, obviously, ew; but like, she tells you she's happy. you almost send her a tiktok that says don't be 25 and the cool girl that doesn't need anything, you'll hate not getting flowers at 30, but that's like, starting drama & you shouldn't start drama needlessly.

and you're a little older than her but not so much older you can pull the whole trust me on this one babe thing and besides that wouldn't have worked anyway (when does it ever) and besides you have trauma so you and your therapist both agree that you're always looking for a problem even when there isn't one. and you tell yourself that just because you see them for 15 minutes every month does not mean you can identify every single red flag based on a single shitty half-joking(?) comment

and besides, what are you going to do? she says i actually wanted another stand mixer but thankfully he stops me when i'm about to spend too much money and you're standing there like are you okay? is this normal? is this just something people say? and again - what are you going to do?

to your therapist you try to language it - it's not, like, any of my business. but sometimes, doesn't it feel like - you should do something. there's got to be something, right? you've tried dropping little hints but they sail right through and you've tried having a single serious conversation and she got upset because why does it matter to you, yes it's different but we're happy, it doesn't need to make sense to you and you're like. really unwilling to push a boundary about it anymore; because the truth is that you know logically it shouldn't matter to you, as long as both parties are happy.

and besides, you've been wrong before. it's just... like, every time you see them both, something else happens, some kind of shiver down your spine like do you even hear each other when you talk. it's their strange, bickering orbit. just the way he's on his phone through dinner or watching sports instead of helping in the kitchen or, fuck, another one of these little throwaway comments he makes about we'll see about that, babe. she laughs when he calls her passions stupid shit and meanwhile she gets him tickets to see the knicks and he tells you well at least she's smart about something and still! it's none of your business.

you say get the dog anyway and she laughs. like, this is is you being funny. and not you saying - no really. get the dog. get the dog and get out of here. pack up and start running.

#this btw is not including toxic friendships this is legit just something ive experienced MANY times now #writeblr #you ever have a friend in one of those relationships where ur like #u don't HATE their partner explicitly #but ur like. what the fuck y'all #like the weird part of being an adult is that you can't be like . CERTAIN their relationship is toxic #and also if u move too fast or push too hard u can hurt someone who is already in a scary situation so you just are like #frozen there. laughing awkwardly. saying ''haha..... yeah..... couldn't be me....''#and like u can't tell - is this banter or does he actually think like. he's better than her.#all you can do is be there for your friend and hope they wake up to it #or ... that it really IS good #and it's just odd to you #tbh btw id rather have my friends feel safe coming to me if they have a concern about my relationship #like yes it's not ur business but it also IS bc im making u hang out with them and also ur my friend #it's a weird thing to experience as an adult bc it is such a blurry line and when u spend time #around couples that aren't like ACTUALLY ur friends but instead ''extended friend circle'' ur like #.... i don't know y'all well enough and he just called you a cow. and ur okay with that . and i don't know how to respond.#so ur like :) okay. um. go to couple's counselling i think #but also you are NOT supposed to pass judgement so it's like.... this weird limbo of feeling like you SHOULD say something #but knowing you CANNOT #idk that there's a way to resolve it!!!!!!!! it's probably a different approach person to person #edited my tags bc tumblr's new system fucked em up #PS EDIT: btw i should have said:#the pronouns in this can work in any and every direction. every gender and every sexuality and every #type of relationship tbh. even non-romantic relationships where ur like ''what do u mean ur bff calls u stupid''

> cope these mechanisms boy!!!!

> ashes is very cool. heard they commit arson and i fell in love so. take some messy ass doodles :)

> ID below (credit and thanks to @majorshatterandhare !) and in alt text -

[ID: two drawing of Ashes O'Reilly of the Mechanisms. Ashes has medium brown skin and dark brown coily hair that has been dyed red and grown out. The left side of their head has been shaved. They have red eyeshadow and are blushing. They have a circular barbel in their lower lip, and two earrings in their lower ear, one of which is a stud and the other is a hoop. They have shaved sideburns and a gap between their top two front teeth. They are wearing a vest, trousers, and a long over coat, all of which are the same beige. They have on dark red fingerless gloves and their nails are painted.

In the first drawing Ashes body is facing mostly toward the viewer, turned a bit to the viewer's right, their head is facing the viewer and tilted down. Their mouth is slightly open and their top teeth are visible. Their left hand is in the pocket of their coat and the right one is holding a smoking cigarette. Their eyes are not visible. This drawing is in the upper left hand corner of the image.

In the second drawing Ashes is only seen from the chest up. They are in profile to the viewer, with their left side visible. A white crystal is visible hanging from one of their earrings. Their eyes are closed. This drawing is in the lower right hand corner of the image.

In the upper right hand corner "Ashes O'Reilly" is written in white bubble lettes. It is underlined and there is a corner bracket next to the A, both of which are also white.

End ID.]

There was a post I saw about someone who mutually ghosted a guy after a date and kept matching with him and they're not interested but it's the longest "relationship" the person had been in at that point and I'm like. Karen would mutually ghost someone.

She doesn't really tell Brent/Right/Evelyn/Chris his name (he has a double first name, Patrick is not his last name) and just refers to him as "My Guy". Like "Ah damn, My Guy matched again. End my suffering." And when she tries to explain it to Right who does NOT understand how it's different, her logical answer is "it's my God given right to ghost a polite man!"

Also I just imagine her confiding in Paul about Rick and he's like "is his name Patrick" and she's like "kinda". And after that, Paul calls him "Pattycakes" cause he's never even seen the guy so why not give him a funny little nickname. He's allowed to do so at this point probably.

#my characters #also i just think it would be so funny to have him walk into the bar when karen and the boys are all there #and she sees him and is like OH MY GOD ITS MY GUY AND HE HAS A WOMAN WITH HIM I have to go congratulate him #and she jumps out of the booth to go say hi to him and the rest of her group is staring with wide eyes because whomst #and then her shoulders drop and the guy looks nervous and then karen is just gesturing to her group #and she walks him over and is like hey this is my guy and his cousin i hate my life #and then introduces rick to her friends/coworkers in the worst way ever like.... so lackluster #thats right and hes gay and pining and possibly dating #thats brent and hes pining and possibly dating #thats chris and he might have a divorce on his track record (HEY!) but we still love him #and thats paul the disaster bisexual currently pining #she sighs then points to the bar and goes AND I GUESS ILL INCLUDE the pining hot bartender in the introductions #everyone meet rick and his cousin and rick is like oh ! paul! hes your best friend!#cause he KNOWS that name from their ONE DATE that they both pretend didn't happen #and paul is just sunshine and flowers and beaming like oh ?? OH ??? KAREN? BESTIE? MY BEST FRIEND?#and she blushes and glares at rick because DOES THAT LOOK LIKE A FACE THAT CAN HANDLE COMPLIMENTS YOU JERK look what you did to him #and rick is v sorry and feels bad about it cause hes really just some random polite guy and thats why it would never work #hes too nice for karen and she CRAVES the teasing THE BANTER THE LANGUAGE and no hes just nice bye #so he leaves with his cousin to get some drinks and walks back over after hes done #and stares at paul as he says wow the bartender really is pining like you said in response to karen and paul wants to melt into his seat #therefore karen will forgive her guy for telling paul he was her best friend (its true tho) bc he made paul embarrassed #and he smiles at her and says bye and she just nods and is like yup talk to you next time we match #and its never romantic its always platonic #they are always going to match but its NEVER going to go beyond friends #though they do become friends and hang out eventually!#yes you can tell i thought about this A LOT on the drive #oops i fell in love

I love Decked Out for so many reasons; the build itself is beautiful, the gameplay is fun and engaging, Tango deserves it, the competition is thrilling and the deck-building strategy is intriguing. But by far my favourite aspect of the game is how it has brought the Hermits together.

There are almost always Hermits hanging out in the Citadel, and they gather in numbers for the phase rankings reveal and shard distribution. Tango watches as many runs as he can. It is ridiculous fun to see them all interacting and talking and laughing together.

we were so robbed of seeing Jack’s perspective to his growing relationship with Ianto. I just think seeing a conversation (him and Gwen presumably) where he realises what’s happening (falling in love) and the implications (with a mortal) would just fuck me up and I need to experience it

#the conversations ianto has with owen (a day in the death - esp the extended script) and tosh (dinner and a show)#GODDD they are emotional #but in terms of jacks perspective?#I think the closest we get is the banter in some of the comics?#if anyone does have names of media that have this kind of perspective pls do drop the name🥺#(thqt includes audio/novel/fics etc!)#I just think he would have so much to say #when he notices it’s not gonna end up a one night stand (or 100 night stand)#and how much he will lose when his lover inevitably dies #jack harkness #janto #torchwood #and dont talk to me about the conversation in CoE that did not even scratch the surface #he was being Mr Emotional Constipation there #hence why I think he would be talking to gwen about this #they will talk to anyone but each other about their relationship istg #sorry this post is like 75% tags lmao

finished rebirth. chapter 13 was wonderful. chapter 14... all i have to say is bad concept, cool boss fights. although i would've liked it more if they gave me some warning that i had to use all of the characters, cait sith included. fuck in cait sith. every time...

also, the conclusion for aerith's Whole Deal seems like it was the writers being too cowardly to conclude definitively and is waiting for the fandom's reaction before finalizing it in part 3. which wouldn't be a problem if they just stuck to the og. anyway, fuck this ending and see you all in 2028.

#me.txt #i also like vincent a LOT more. i think it was because in the OG he was 100% Pure 90s Edge played straight #now it's 2024 and the Pure 90s Edge(TM) is more of an affectionate parody #i'm still laughing at him but it feels on purpose now #rebirth spoilers #i play rebirth #temple of the ancients was so fucking cool. the reno-rude fight was WONDERFUL. the banter! the team up! the sudden but inevitable betrayal!#if i could encapsulate the moment...#i also don't have much to say on the zack/cloud team up. it's kinda creepy how they say the same thing bc. you know.#i'm assuming that's on purpose #... the part where zack is like HOW COULD YOU TURN BACK ON WHAT SOLDIER STOOD FOR and seph said 'easily' is so funny #like what did soldier stand for zack? what did it stand for? your first mission in cc was ending a war on the side of the oppressors zack #your subsequent missions included hunting down sephiroth's best friends and your mentor zack

ten and donna are great because it’s a sliding scale of “wow, the parallels between them are so strong and yet their approaches to the universe and life can be so different, and that combination plus their close and supportive bond truly brings out the best in both of them” to literally just the “clown to clown communication” meme

#in the middle is a lot of things #including the high-quality banter during which someone in all likelihood one of them is getting absolutely dragged #tenth doctor #donna noble #doctor who #**

me for the past few days: maaan I've had nothing in my brain to draw or think of it's all been just blank during my long ahh break whatever will I do without posting art for eons and eons!!!

literally out of no where: what if um what if suns become slug (small slug not on purpose not meant to be small) to go to pebble and shenanigans ensue with overprotective wanderer um finally being able to pick up and show the world to what she has considered a pup of hers for hella long and a very confused spearmaster which happens to be the main defense and um guide or whateva that'd be cool I think

#I don't know why I wanted suns slug in this to be tiny but here I am #also gives me an excuse to draw more nightcat/wanderer (I should really give them a proper name instead of just going by either name)#hhhhh I'm thinking of adding a hint of sunstone but idk how iffy it'd be with suns now being a slug and pebble isn't #I mean it's nonferal and yknow they had a relationship before the divorce and the slugification so some of it would still linger but uuuuuh #might just not do anything with that just still include the silly banter I have stored in my mind #I just thought of this yesterday it's very much a work in progress I'll figure out the in betweens someday maybe

*kicks the door down*

what's up four swords fandom i'm back for five minutes to drop this on y'all and disappear again

also maybe a few head canons but in tags only bc i'm a coward

#shadow link #four swords plus #four swords manga #four swords adventures #it's criminal that he never got to use his bombs in the manga me thinks #also what if i said #and hear me out here #what if i said shadow had bpd hmm?#can you tell what my most recent diagnosis was now #think about it: vio is his fp #he has trouble trusting people (including vio)#him deciding to execute vio publicly and to have that back n forth banter and also losing his mind was an episode #as a result of him splitting on vio #he has major identity issues #i will find more evidence later when i reread the book over the summer
