Every time I’m reading a Greek mythology retelling and the protagonist falls in love within the first 5 chapters
It started with Song of Achilles, then it was Circe. Just finished Ariadne. I have thoughts. Would anyone be interested?
Reading The Song of Achilles has destroyed my will to live and my will to read ever again all in one fatal swoop. Thank you Madeline and goodnight
Patrochilles
In my humble opinion, shortening Patroclus to “Pat” is cursed, so may I suggest an equally cursed list of nickname for Achilles
vote for the best. or worst depending on which way you look at it:

Chili
And last but certainly not least:
Ankles
Gwen kissed Merlin. She also kissed Arthur. So technically. Merlin and Arthur’s lips touched. Indirect Merthur kiss. Canon. Thank you
Leon the long suffering #1
(Leon’s inner thoughts): “Poetry?? Really? Do they really think I’m stupid enough to believe the two of them were studying poetry in a dark abandoned hallway? They leapt a mile apart when I came in. And they’ve been making eyes at each other for years I’m just glad they finally got a room. god damnit now I owe Gwaine”
we all know what you meant Merlin

I can’t decide what’s worse. Arthur being conscious and waiting to rise in Avalon for 1500 years. Or him being completely dead and waking up with no warning. Although if he was awake and waiting I like to think he could speak to Freya. And since she can go to the surface and talk to Merlin if she wants she could pass messages between the two. And keep Arthur updated about the world changing so he’s not completely behind when he comes back.
merlin headcanon #2
The Hogwarts motto “never tickle a sleeping dragon” originated when Merlin tried to tickle a very unhappy sleeping Kilgharrah, he lost an eyebrow and Arthur didn’t let him live it down for weeks (until it grew back in)
Could it have been Kilgharrah’s plan all along for Albion to fall (magic was never returned to the land and the kingdoms never united). His ultimate revenge on Uther for killing his kind and years of imprisonment was seeing his son die, and his kingdom ruined, but also, his revenge on Balinor for being the reason he was trapped, he tricked Merlin into believing his prophecy, and watched as he lost all those he loved, and was sentenced to live for eternity alone, with the weight of his guilt forever on his shoulders.
Kilgharrah + Dumbledore rant
In my humble opinion, Dumbledore (or as my friend adequately nicknamed him, dumble-dick), and Kilgharrah, are very similar characters, in that they are both ancient lizards with oversized egos and a god complex. They are portrayed as good characters overall, their actions somehow always justifiable or not even being held responsible in any capacity in the first place. When in actual fact, they both manipulate the protagonist toward their own agendas, seemingly for the greater good, when in reality the benefits are pretty selfish. Merlin was young and naïve when he first came to Camelot, and Kilgharrah took advantage of his honest nature, forcing him to set him free in exchange for his help. Kilgharrah often states that he wishes for the golden age of Albion to be brought about, but his earlier actions (Before Merin was able to command him) completely contradict this. He promises Merlin a future that never happens, yet he was still able to be set free, and left relatively out of the way in peace for the rest of his life. Now Dumbledore, despite being the only wizard that Voldemort was afraid of, did very little to stop him, both during Harry’s time at Hogwarts and when he first rose to power. Instead, he left a child and his friends with the job of killing him, traumatizing them year after year, and if that’s not enough, send Harry back to an abusive family every summer (In a very similar situation to Tom Riddle being sent to an abusive orphanage). He raised him like “a pig for slaughter”. Draco Malfoy also suffered at his hands, Dumbledore knew for an entire year what the boy was tasked to do, knowing it would emotionally traumatize him even more than he already was, but did nothing to stop it, becoming a martyr instead, basically getting out before the real war begun. Both Kilgharrah and Dumbledick had tunnel vision when it came to their causes, and as long as Merlin and Harry respectively were able to fulfil their destinies, it didn’t matter what trauma they had to go through, what tough decisions they had to make, or what friends and family they had to lose along the way
harry potter headcanons #1 (mostly gonna be drarry btw)

merlin headcanons #1
Merlin : *while cleaning Arthur’s chambers has self depreciating thoughts*
Arthur : *on the training field* *whips head around and starts to run* MERLIN NEEDS TO KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE AND CHERISH HIM
Gwaine :
Gwaine : What the hell just happened
Leon : This happens all the time
Lance : It happened last week. Arthur ran off in the middle of a council meeting and said “I NEED TO TELL MERLIN HOW IMPORTANT HE IS”
I am honestly so excited. I saw this at 3 am and my soul left my body. when i got the notification i thought the sleep deprivation was finally causing hallucinations. pleasantly surprised that that was not the case. Strange has completed the trio of “fucked over the multiverse” this also makes me happy. Peter is a cinnamon roll as always and i just wanna give him a hug but now i also kinda wanna give Strange a hug because i think he’s just tryna do his best. This is probably gonna be the best spider-man movie ever. How is everyone feeling about the possibility of having Toby Maguire and Andrew Garfield return? I’m not 100% sold on the idea but if they do it hopefully Marvel will be able to pull it off.
Gwaine Rant (5x12/13 spoilers)
I love Gwaine, I do, I wish he’d been given the character development he deserved (I’ll unpack that whole situation another time), but if it wasn’t for his half baked-disaster of a plan to go find Morgana, with only Percival as back up, to kill her, after witnessing her almost destroy an entire army, she wouldn’t have been able to find Arthur and Merlin, and maybe, just maybe, they would have gotten to the lake in time. Also, gonna mention the fact that Gwaine literally JUST made the exact mistake of giving away information like 5 minutes before smh. I mean not deliberately I guess but the fact that he is the reason that the enemy gets the upper hand twice pisses me off, especially because it happens right at the end and kinda ruins his character a bit for me, but that’s not his fault, I blame the writers for everything. But this GIF makes me sad because the last thing he thought was that he’d failed Arthur. That's all for now.
Moreid Hug
S11 Ep11 Moreid hug. that's it. that's the post.
Except also the way Spencer wraps both arms around Derek's waist and squeezes might have sent me to heaven
