No Way!! I Got It On The Right Day!!

just a random experience I had. My mom who‘s by all means not been very involved with LGBTQ+ matters (appart from the three years she thougt I was a lesbian and never said a thing about it so we stan her as an ALLY, also she figured Azi fell in love with Crowley back in s1 when he saved his books in 1941) she seems to have claimed the kissing scene of season 2 of good omens as her favourite moment, which honestly comes as a surprise for me. Because I‘d feared she would take it as a humorous bit, but she honestly looks so heartbroken whenever she asks me to put it on soo, I don‘t even know where I meant this post to go, I guess I just wanted to share this experience because it seemed so wholesome; especially since my family used to be awefully conservative before I (very involuntarily so) became the show off for our family and made them more progressive and accepting. I just CANNOT wait for season 3, and to my surprise, neither can my mom lmao

y‘all know what this means…. we need to crank up the crazy and drive them off.

I really really hate to say it but we need to bring the Onceler back

How Tumblr Became Popular for Being Obsolete

The social-media platform’s status as a relic of the Internet has attracted prodigal users as well as new ones.

"show me some magic," arthur says to him one day on a hunt. it's been weeks since they've last spoken anything more than a necessary formality. arthur's jaw has been set tight the entire time, as if all the tension of learning about merlin's biggest secret has decided to settle there.

"i-- are you sure?"

arthur doesn't even look at him when he waves his hand, get on with it. merlin frowns. stares at a spot on the ground and watches as a flower blooms out of season.

arthur stares at it a moment too long before plucking it from the root. they ride home in silence.

"show me some magic," arthur says a couple nights later. merlin's readying his bath, and he's exhausted, and it's simple to just heat the water with a wave of his hand like he's used to doing in secret.

whatever tension arthur holds in his shoulders bleeds out when he sinks into the water.

"show me some magic," arthur says again, the next day, the next. they're all small acts, and though they haven't begun to really talk yet, it doesn't make things more awkward. in fact, arthur begins to let the sense of wonder play out on his normally unreadable face whenever merlin makes a spark of light appear.

slowly, they find their old repartee. it takes a while, a handful of more magic displays, but arthur finally seems to feel comfortable around merlin again, and it gives him hope that maybe there is a future they can build together, past this seemingly impenetrable wall they've built between them in the mean time.

"show me some magic," arthur says. "i can't sleep."

so merlin does. puts stars in his canopy and shows him fairytale scenes. before arthur dismisses him for the evening, he quietly says, "thank you."

the next day, arthur announces a progressive lift on the magic ban.

"show me some magic," arthur grins as he waves his hand around the tavern. merlin wants to say, here? now? but instead he makes a patron's ale bubble over and a drunkard trip. arthur laughs, then, for the first time in months, uninhibited.

it becomes a part of their routine. arthur likes the small, practical jokes merlin can play, but he also likes the beauty he can create. he asks for both, and merlin gives it to him, because it is for him, after all. all of it.

and the first time arthur calls out "magic!" during battle, merlin is all too ready to show him that, too.

it makes merlin brave, braver than he's ever been. this is arthur, keeper of his kingdom, his heart. merlin has been laid bare before him and arthur keeps asking show me, show me, show me.

"show me some magic," arthur says one night, when they're sitting by the fire that needs to be stoked and sharing the last piece of crusty bread.

merlin pauses. he can easily guide the flames higher. arthur's seen that trick before.

instead, he reaches over the distance between them. ghosts his fingertips over arthur's knuckles, before closing his hand over his.

arthur's brow draws tight, but beneath the confusion is that same sense of wonder that's always been there. there's something about you, merlin.

"what are you doing?" he asks, amusement laced with something daringly hopeful.

"showing you some magic," merlin says, and then kisses him.

I READ TENDOU INSTEAD OF TOORU I WAS SO CONFUSED BUT LIKE HELL YEAH CRACKSHIP LEts gO

Iwaizumi: Look, we have something to announce

Tooru: We're officially dating

Matsukawa: Wh-

Matsukawa: We did?-

Hanamaki: In fact, we're dating too!

Matsukawa: WE ARE?

that post about the different sexualities is for real. that's why i call myself queer cuz like it feels like it changes from day to day lol.

Right! Like one day I‘m looking at a pic of Sebastian Stan and I‘m like „goddammit I‘m straight“ and then the next I‘ll see a movie with Emilia Clarke and I just know I‘m not straight anymore lmao

I think I‘ll just settle for „labels are weird, if you‘re hot, you‘re hot“

I just want to say it‘s so sweet how many of you gave me a warm welcome to the merlin fandom! Thank you so much guys, that‘s exactly the wholesome content i came here for (and I‘ll defo hit some of y‘all up for fic recs at some point lmao)

Discovering a fandom long after its original content released somehow feels like discovering an old religion believed to be dead, yet still thriving.

It's like an adventure.

Like when I started getting into Lord of the rings a year ago, or when I finished Merlin mere days ago I was bitter about not discovering them sooner, because I thought I'd missed the fandoms highs and everything left today would be crums of what it used to be, since their last content aired literally almost decades ago.

Yet when I look up fanfiction, fanarts or just the tags on tumblr I find their fandoms to be as alive the day the show finished.

It honestly feels like the closest I'll ever get to discovering a fantastical place like Atlantis or Kong Island or something like that and I think that's beautiful

I always take recommendations if they're good recommendations!
