Witchy Ship Defender 🌌

Magical, mid-twenties, bi-curious fangirl ✨ Finding solace and pain in fandom pairings (platonic and romantic alike) who either break her heart or restore her hope in humanity - Defender 🛡️ of Merthur, Destiel, Malec, Irondad-Spiderson and a hundred others (also, some occasional motorsport because she's obsessed with things on wheels going fast 🏎️ 🏍️)

I'm manifesting like crazy, but I'm not enough on my own 😭

[mayaisobsessedwithf1]

I can’t believe ”Lando Norris” and ”George Russell” are going to be world champions before Charles fucking Leclerc…

Literally my thoughts...

OUR WIFE IS BACK!!!

[sophii-fox]

Is ao3 still down for anyone? Cause I'm trying to update my fic and both on my phone and laptop it shows it's down.

[witchyshipdefender]

It's working for me atm, but judging by the AO3 status page, it might differ from region to region (I'm in Europe)

[witchyshipdefender]

Pray for AO3

Please gather around the fire, light some incense and channel your energy towards the precious people trying to resurrect our beloved wife

As someone who is asexual this feels a bit wierd. And then I look at the last fic I read and it makes sense

How do you feel about other Merlin ships apart from Merthur?

Bc in my mind everyone on that show was bisexual, (apart from the Evil Lizzard who doesn’t deserve to be a bisexual bc I hate him, lmao).

Problem with that is, I end up shipping Merthur, Mergana, & Morgwen 😅

Thank you for the question! 💌

My favorite pairing will always be Merthur (Merlin/Arthur), but I also really love Merlin/Gwaine and Merlin/Lancelot too. 💕

Honestly, I kind of ship Merlin with everyone, especially when they’re protective of him and love him for who he is, magic and all.

I also really love Morgana ships. 💐

Morgana/Leon is such a cute dynamic, honestly, the idea of a noble lady and her loyal knight is so adorable.

And Merlin/Morgana has so much romantic potential. In the official books, Merlin literally daydreams about marrying her, and he keeps getting distracted by how beautiful she is whenever she walks into a room. He straight-up calls her beautiful and thinks she has a gorgeous figure.

Examples of the Merlin’s crush on Morgana below 👇

I wanted to contribute to the ship debate, but...

THERE ARE BOOKS??? THERE ARE OFFICIAL BOOKS??? WHY DID I NOT KNOW THIS BEFORE???

Dear Marquez and Rossi fans,

I don't care whatever beef you have ongoing for however long — you need to unite to bombard Liberty on every social media imaginable to make them rethink on killing our riders live as a spectacle like we're still living in Ancient Rome. I know we like to think of them as gladiators but not so literally!

Sincerely,

A MotoGP fan

[lost-gp]

anyone justifying racing in adelaide can we please remember we have enough scary crashes and injuries in the ‘good’ circuits, just look at jorge not being able to breathe after his crash in qatar, munoz with a broken leg and marc with a fractured collarbone in indonesia, lunetta’s scary crash in assen, the entire balaton park weekend, and are we forgetting rueda and noah suffered multiple injuries and had cardiac arrests on track in malaysia???? we don’t need to make an already dangerous sport more deadly just so a billion dollar company can make more money. we dont want or need anyone racing on a street circuit (especially not the moto3/2 kids)

[witchyshipdefender]

PREACH!

When Libery bought MotoGP, I remember sarcastically thinking: “Well, guess how long until they're bringing street circuits into MotoGP?” as I remembered how they butchered the calendar in F1 with their obsession.

But that was a fucking sarcastic thought. And now I'm waking up, looking at my phone in disbelief because WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY THINKING???

Whoever made this deal should be charged with life endangerment immediately. I don't care what problems are with Phillip Island in the background — there is no logical explanation in bringing bikes capable of 350+ km/h to a fucking street circuit. Just the idea of it raises so many alarms that I don't how Miller can ignore them and pose for this nightmare. Riders need to boycott this with everything they have, because this isn't just dissatisfaction like it was with F1 drivers; they are literally gambling with their lives.

In no world should this ever be allowed.
