#is a gem

This is genuinely the funniest ttrpg scene I've ever seen in my life. You are a human, in 1982 next to a nuclear plant and, an animal proceeds to greet you with a sentence not used and ask about your hair.

How can I move on with my life now that I've finished this fic?

I immersed myself in it as if everything was happening around me and I was a witness. What a wonderful way with words capable of captivate the reader. I wish the entire plot of the series was adapted to this new narrative twist, it would be interesting and captivating to see how this pair would have handled themselves not only with more honesty between them but also with that soulbond. What a glorious adventure that would be. I would read a hundred thousand more words like this.

Arthur's raw emotions made me want to fix the world for them, it pulled my heart strings like a puppeteer. Every time Arthur talked about Merlin's emotions that he could sense I wondered "oh gods oh gods what must Merlin be feeling from Arthur's side" to know if Merlin's perspective It would be wonderful and I bet it would be just as painful. He go through every day with a fear that could make Arthur shudder, that can't be anything less than agonizing.Fortunately this was a hurt that was worth it, they deserved this kind of honesty after everything they've been through.

Wonderful way to mix fluff with angst

“I never believed that you would betray me,” Arthur says, because Merlin knows him, even if the same might not be true the other way around. Merlin could tell when he was lying, when he was lashing out to protect himself, long before a bond tore down all the defences Arthur so carefully erected around himself. “Do not pretend that you ever believed me capable of truly hating you. I could not, no matter how much I may want to.”

The way Merlin’s face twists reveals that there is another story there, and words echo within Arthur’s head, guttural and ancient—a half cannot truly hate that which makes it whole.

He wants to laugh at the truth of it, at the absurdity of it all. Here they are, a prince and a servant, Uther Pendragon’s son and one of the most powerful sorcerers to ever walk the earth—caught up in a fight over who possesses more devotion, who is going to ruin themself for the other’s sake first.

One hot summer day and an ill-advised kiss leave Arthur with an incomplete soul bond, panic about all his secrets coming to light, and the question of why Merlin is so afraid of Uther. Actually, scratch that—why is Merlin afraid of him?

Just watching this again and thinking about everyone who rightfully said certain people* should be very, very glad this man decided to pursue acting instead of music.

Finally watched Masaan. And god it breaks you down to your soul. And then says life goes on because you're still here. Your life is still yours even if it's hard right now.

For a movie to deal with grief it's a oddly comforting one. The songs the ghats the rawness are one of the reason. And of course thank gods for heartfelt actors.
