Scriptorium demo is so fun i had to make these two

just saw a "only one bed" fic with the major character death warning

[dontbreakthechain]

#i guess that's one way to solve that problem

“This bed ain’t big enough for the both of us.”

merlin 2008 is a cautionary tale about accidentally becoming too important at work. which in extreme cases can end in doomed yaoi

Why does everyone write Merlin like he’s some soft boy if this dude had a gun he’d use it everyday

The Danish training ship “Georg Stage” (1934) dresses in rainbow colour, 2021 

[dragon-in-a-fez]

not the kind of gay ship I’m used to seeing on tumblr but cool

[dubiousculturalartifact]

ship georg is an outlier but SHOULD be counted

[nerd0608]

Forever jealous of the Merlin cast. Imagine being in your 20s in the 2000s and your life consists of getting paid to do medieval larping, while surrounded by only attractive people.

You're right but don't say it like that

since becoming a barista i have noticed a few very distinct typologies among my customers. such as:

the woke left: young and fashionable. visible tattoos. often enjoys matcha, lavender flavoring, oat milk, and cold foam. pretty decent customers.

sweet old man: drinks very sweet iced lattes, pays in cash, puts all of his change in the tip jar. sometimes orders hot coffee and i get scared that his shaky old man hands will spill it and he'll get burned but that has not yet happened and god willing never shall.

evil old man: only wants drip coffee and declares it ridiculous that any other form of coffee exists. some variants only want americanos and these variants are even scarier. watch out.

sweet old woman: might need her daughter's help to order but is very bubbly and open to trying new things. compliments baristas freely and frequently.

evil old woman: does not want coffee and only wants sweet tea or soda. will not tip even if she spends three hours in the shop repeatedly asking baristas to fetch things for her.

errand husband: either stiltedly recites an order to you or shows you the order in their texts/notes app. needs to step out of line and make a phone call if you ask any follow-up questions.

grindset girlie: always wearing scrubs, an apron, and/or a name tag. orders the exact same thing every day and knows the exact change she'll need to pay for it. her regular order is both extremely caffeinated and extremely sweet.

#mamabear: is actively wrangling two to four children while ordering. order changes repeatedly because the children cannot decide if they want a muffin or a cookie or apple juice or chocolate milk etc. for some reason these women are always wearing an article of clothing or carrying some personalized item that says "mama" on it.

schoolchildren: band of two to eight adolescents hanging out after school. extremely indecisive but generally quite polite and tip well.

amnesiac in love: grown adult who needs their partner to tell them what they like. gets asked a question about their own preferences and turns to their partner to answer for them. generally acts like a shy child looking to their guardian for behavioral cues if you try to interact with them and only wants to talk to mommy i mean their wife.

this of course is not an exhaustive list but those are just some of the most consistent Types i get. ok bye xoxo

I just could not have been a villain in the BBC Merlin universe like you make one light threat to the kingdom and now here comes Arthur and his loyal dog Merlin, and Merlin’s loyal dog Gwaine, his other loyal dog Lancelot, Lancelot and Gwaine’s loyal dog Percival, and Arthur’s other two loyal dogs Leon and Elyan. I tried telling them that I’d stop if someone sacrificed themselves and there was like 4 volunteers I’m clocking out

always funny to remember darth vader is anakin skywalker. the adrenaline junkie chucklefuck who used to dive head first out of speeders and built a pod racer in his yard when he was like six is now upper-middle management for the evil empire. half of his appearances in the original trilogy are Meetings. vader spends like 80% of his time dealing with bureaucratic bullshit. status updates. team meetings. holo-Zooms. budget rundowns. anakin betrayed the jedi and caused the fall of the republic and his punishment is being CC'd on every email forever. and you know what. he would hate that. the punishment fits the criminal

[thecorpsethatwalks]

re-watching the original trilogy is great because you really get a sense for how weird luke skywalker is, just how quickly he becomes that weird AND how quickly he commits to it. Like he's honestly pretty chill in a new hope, but the absolute INSTANT he figures out he can move shit with his mind he goes full send on the cryptic off-putting bullshit. Walking around in full black robes, speaking in riddles, aura farming and backflipping whenever physically possible. He's clearly annoyed when he first meets yoda in empire, but he dismisses that pretty quickly in favour of ALSO becoming an over-dramatic space wizard. The combination of his two teachers being yoda and obi-wan kenobi and him being the son of anakin and padme creates the single most intense and fundamentally kind force sensitive perfectly embodying the heart of the jedi order whilst also serving egregious amounts of cunt and being bizarre to be around. He would have THRIVED as a jedi master during the high republic. he would have been every padawan's favourite and every other master's worst nightmare

Something I find a little cute about Radiostatic in canon is that pretty much anytime that Alastor is deliberately drawn as seductive, Vox is involved.

To clarify this: regardless of how you interpret his actions due to his sexuality, Alastor is infact occasionally drawn by the animation team doing with body language that if lets say Angel was doing it, everyone would say "oh this man is being kinda flirty"

Its just that its Alastor doing it. And its almost always with Vox. So people keep denying its happened.

Problem is its so damn noticeable because other characters (not ship hate for anything) dont actually get that. His body language with other characters is so much much more...sexless. Its about as platonic as its gonna get.

I think the only character I can think of that it felt like he was flirting with was Charlie and most of the evidence for that comes from the pilot. By the time Charlie is having her Vaggi breakdown, Alastor seems to have completely dismissed that as an option of manipulation and is so casual with her that hes lying in her bed like theyre having a sleepover. Which is fascinating since you know, hes an adult man from the 40s so it shouldve been seen as a sexually coded gesture given the cultural difference. Yet it felt platonic as hell, almost silly.

Then theres Vox who gets the whole tits out treatment and both of them are acting like they could fuck/kill eachother at any second, which even makes Val go "ugh, just fuck already"--- which means, oh. Okay. Yeah. The animation team knew that what they were doing seemed tinged with sexual energy lmao, it was a purposeful decision since the get go.

production of hamlet that starts with the part where everyone is dead except horatio and he says "yep, that's me. you're probably wondering how i got into this situation. well let me tell you" and then the actual play starts
