In The Words Of A Very Wise Person "why Would I Bother Reading Something That You Couldn't Bother To

sometimes on the path to what we think we need we find what was really missing all along

I think it's the implication of a healthy adult relationship that appeals to many

"PAUSE!!" Bonus:

My oil painting of an Uncrustable

modern day Arthur Conan Doyle

in my mind he's in witness protection

You know when a fandom just straight up ignores a character’s death so in every fic that character is alive?

I was literally reading The Return of King and thought “is still Thorin the king of Erebor?” and found it weird that it was not mentioned in the books- it took me several minutes to actually remember the ending of The Hobbit because I was too busy trying to remember if Fili’s coronation was mentioned anywhere… am I going insane

genuinely loosing my mind I can't believe they announced it like THIS

genuinely what the fuck is wrong with them

You've really got to be an experienced improvisor to feel no shame or hesitation to imitate a nymph sex scene in front of your closest friends and hundreds of strangers

first time I've ever seen someone reference ganieda/ganiede and am genuinely shaking in my boots about it

Forever wishing there would have been a seasonal gimmick where someone from Merlin’s past comes to Camelot and spills some tea.

Like, just some rando comes by and drops the wildest lore that not even the audience knows to the knights super casually and leaves.

I.e.

Will (if he had lived): I’m glad Merlin found a place here. I thought for sure he’d end up banished again (: Arthur: He got banished from Ealdor? Will: What? No. Camelot wasn't Hunith’s first choice. Merlin just kept pissing people off in other kingdoms so she had to send him to Gaius because nobody else had a chance of controlling him. Arthur: Are you-? Actually, no. This tracks.

Or

Random Girl: Hi, I'm looking for my brother? He lives in the palace, I think. Elyan: And who might your brother be? Random Girl: Oh, sorry. I'm Ganieda! Merlin's sister. Gwaine: No fucking way

I'm just saying, there is no way Merlin stayed out of trouble his entire childhood. Consider:

Some Guy: Is Merlin here? Leon: You're not related to him, are you? Some Guy: No, I cannot say I am. Years ago we had a brief tryst while on an adventure together before parting ways. I heard he was in Camelot so I thought- Arthur: He's not here. Some Guy: Oh, but- Arthur: He actually died yesterday and, completely unrelated, I'm going to have to banish you. Goodbye. Don't return.

UPDATE:

they're home and I love them

I LOVE LIFE
