“Daeron found a breach in the knotting, twisting roots and slid down into their embrace, the bark of the giant tree scraping along his back but he hardly felt it.”

Fanfic by @madmothmadame

Dunno why, but something about “roots embrace” made my brain do a flip. I felt so strong inspiration and a picture immediately appeared in my head. Also, I was listening “Gooey - Glass Animals” while reading and then through all drawing process to keep the right atmosphere.

Whilst drawing, accidentally, I left a lot of space in the middle of the sheet and, not knowing what to fill it with, I thought, hmm, why not write the title of the fic and turn it into a ‘cover’? And it really did fit in there perfectly!

If you’ve been following me for a while, you may have noticed that this work isn’t drawn in my usual style. That’s the price you pay for having an idea and wanting to capture the feeling. It was interesting to draw, unusual and refreshing! I’m pleased with how it turned out.

And if you’ve reached the end of this post, here’s a bonus version with Maekar

If you're writing 18th century dialogue, this website lets you search words and phrases to double-check whether they were in use & meant what you intend. It doesn't include every period-accurate use of a word/phrase, but it certainly helped me separate genuine 18th century grammar from the vague tangle of 💬old-fashioned fancy-speak💬 I've internalized from TV and video games.

Other websites that let you do this:

Johnson's Dictionary Online (thanks @yellowbelliedtoad!) – 1755 and 1773

Green's Dictionary of Slang – 1300s to today

A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue – 1788

Feraud's Dictionaire critique de la langue française – 1778

A dictionary of the English and Italian languages by Giuseppe Baretti is a bilingual dictionary from 1790!

[psychic-angels]

actually don't think i'll ever stop thinking about the fact that not a single character in merlin gets a happy ending ??? like not a single one ??? half of them end up dead by the last episode, everyone else stuck with the losses of the others and nothing that they truly wanted ??? alone ?? five seasons of growing attached to them and loving them and watching them want and work for what they want and try SO HARD all for...not one single happy ending....i'm siiiiickkkk....

I was thinking about how much BBC Merlin fic has been published since I joined the fandom, and felt inspired to take a leaf out of data queen @frogmerthur's book and make some graphs about it.

As of 28 January 2026, there are currently 70,125 published works in the BBC Merlin tag on AO3. We are never moving on. 🙂‍↕️

[historicallygay]

I’m so proud of us🥹

[katherynefromphilly]

Fun fact: The spike/dip in published BBC Merlin fic during/after pandemic looks EXACTLY like the spike/dip that occurred in academic publishing.

Turns out that if humans have more free time and Things They Want To Write (especially to escape into their brains) creativity flourishes and grows.

Watching Star Wars in chronological order is so funny.

Obi-Wan Kenobi really took one look at R2D2 in the middle of the desert and said “No, Luke, I’ve never seen this fucking droid in my life. Looks like a real bitch though. Not that I’d know. This is my first time meeting the asshole.”

No one in that whole franchise was Gatekeep-Gasslight-Girlbossing quite like “Ben” Kenobi, regular human-man.

Bish you cannot leave all this glorious commentary in the freakin tags

[kayfabe-is-king]

I cannot stop laughing at the image of Obi-Wan and R2 staring each other down OK Corral style.
