I Was Trying To Find Some Merwaine Fics On AO3 And Wouldn’t Ya Know It Almost All The Ones That Were

Yeah maybe the curtains are just blue but maybe the author likes that you see that as symbolism for sadness. Have you ever thought of that? Maybe writers like when you find meanings in their works that they didn't think of. Just because it wasn't intended doesn't mean it can't be true.

Over analyze everything. Find meaning where there was nothing before. We found God in the stars, we can find meaning in the curtains.

I have no one to talk about this with, but I am so thankful for the bbno$ Jayvik cosplay stream crew and the distraction from other events of today (cries in American) that they provided. Made my day 1000x better.

Crying bc all I want is a rosekiller fic with ROSEKILLER BEIGN THE MAINSHIP

Thinking about this again. When I'm angry he should be angry.

I need more angry Merlin! I need Merlin to accidentally reveal his magic, expecting Arthur to lash out and feel betrayed. I need Arthur to tell Merlin he knew the whole time. I need Merlin to pause, to process what he just said. I need Merlin to realize what he's sacrificed to keep his secret while Arthur let him. I need Merlin to be the one to lash out and tell him this. I need Merlin to be the one to feel betrayed. Arthur knew and he let Merlin continue to lie to him and believe that Arthur hated him. Arthur didn't tell him he knew all in the name of "trust" and "letting Merlin decide when it was best to tell him". I need Merlin to break down at this. How could Arthur not realize how much it hurt Merlin to lie!? How could he be okay with the betrayal while not processing the consequences of that betrayal!? For a good cause or not!? I need Merlin to scream.

made this gem on Sunday. had to wait all week to post it

Hey can we normalize not freaking out on someone when they get facts about Marvel, DC, or any big franchise wrong? Or when they supposedly mischaracterize a character? With these big franchises there is so much content to consume, you could be reading and watching it for your whole life and still be learning things, and there's always more content being made.

Sure there are basic facts: like Batman's parents were shot in an ally, Spider-Man was bitten by a radioactive spider, etc. But other than that, it's up to interpretation. If it's blatant mischaracterization I understand annoyance, especially in canon, but even then, they're characters. They can grow and change, and its not always how we expect. Plus, DC and Marvel are multiverses, things will differ from universe to universe- especially if that universe is a fan work.

Let's appreciate what we're given and if it's a fan work let's really really appreciate it. If you don't like it, you can obviously give constructive criticism (never on fanwork unless asked for), and you can share your opinion. I just think that we should give a little grace to the writers, because they have a lot of content to live up to, and we're probably fans with their own headcanons to begin with

Pencil drawing of Jinx because I am now obsessed with Arcane. She does look strange without color 😔

I hate when I'm reading a silly post about the Robin's and Batman and then I look in the comments and without fail, every time, there's somebody mansplaining why that "actually isn't accurate" and "according to canon" It isn't that serious. I know I'm making it serious now but fr 😭
