Please return us to a world where Notp and squick are used for a ship you don’t like instead of just making up a load of bullshit about how immoral it is or w/e lol 

[sazandorable]

a short selection of concepts and phrases that used to be commonplace in fandom and we’d really benefit from making that a thing again:

NOTP: the opposite of an OTP (One True Pairing). It is a ship a fan strongly dislikes. The word is a portmanteau of ‘no’ and ‘OTP’ and thus is not a contraction of any particular phrase.

Squick: anything that is a deep-seated, visceral turn-off. Squicks may be shared by many fans or be specific to one; one person’s kink may be another person’s squick.

YKINMKATO, or kink-tomato: Your Kink Is Not My Kink, And That’s Okay: used to indicate support for fannish diversity and to distinguish between disapproval or kink shaming and simply having different taste.

DLDR: Don’t Like, Don’t Read: a phrase used to warn against complaints about an aspect of fic or meta. A “live and let live” philosophy of fandom, which places the responsability for avoiding content one doesn’t want to see on the side of the fanwork consumer, rather that on the creator’s.

SALS: Ship And Let Ship: similar to the above specifically about shipping tastes.

YMMV: Your Mileage May Vary: a phrase used to acknowledge that any given individual’s personal opinion on the topic at hand may differ due to their own tastes, standards, values, experiences, etc.

As the OP points out, all of these crucially imply no moral judgment of what they’re designing.

(definitions lifted more or less wholesale from fanlore’s relevant pages)

Reblog if you will never. Ever. Use AI in your writing.

[gabstriessomethingnew]

Ok, can we talk about this line and all the damning weight it carries???

This is Season 5, three years after Arthur supposedly lifted the laws on prosecuting druids, and it's still too dangerous for a druid to come see Gaius? Why? What was Arthur doing in that time? Twiddling his thumbs?

I'm sorry, if a druid has to sneak into Camelot to bring a physician's assistant to help cure his sister, than how very hollow must Arthur's version of freedom be?

It's like I've been saying, there was no freedom granted to the druids by Arthur because he refused to see that not all magic was bad, there was just a transference of what crime they would be prosecuted under.

And I know Daegal wasn't actually a druid, but there is a real reason why that argument worked on Merlin, and it certainly wasn't because he saw the liberation of the druids first hand.

Don't use AI to write. Use cocaine like a real author.

hey, tag this with a food people get really upset about you not liking

[dragoon-the-okay]

Crazy how bad Merlin ate Arthur up in their second interaction. If I was Arthur and I told some scrawny serving boy that he can't call me a prat and he responded "I'm sorry, how long have you been training to be a prat, my lord?" I would've left the fight out of embarrassment.

[wrecked-writer]

Im still trying to wrap my head around the fact that in the plus minus TEN YEARS of knowing each other, Arthur still would not take any of Merlin's concerns or 'funny fealings' seriously! There is only maybe 2 scenes that imply Merlin's feelings were off once or twice but the majority of the time it was correct! I know they play it off for laughs in the show but for a friendship so deep, why didn't Arthur take Merlin seriously???

I had somethin of an essay once that talked about how in s5, Merlin is framed subtly as a villain by the use of lighting and camera framing(e.g dark shadows hiding his face same as morgana), which i believe is part of the reason people think Merlin prioritises Arthur over magic

[wrecked-writer]

Excellent addition By @sneakyboymerlin , if i ever get around to actually writing that essay then im def using these points

[lanccelot]

merlin was established at the very beginning of the show to have grown up thinking he was a Monster and an Outsider no matter What He Did because he was Born Like This and others may be of a different opinion but i personally think that's something that needs to be taken into account every time merlin says shit like "i'm happy to be your servant till the day i die" or "and i use [magic] for you, arthur. only for you." like there are a lot of jokes about merlin's s5 self being a depressed paranoid wreck compared to his happy optimistic s1 self but i don't think that optimism ever meant that he was. mentally healthy. he grew up with an axe over his head how mentally stable could he BE throughout the entire show

[lanccelot]

like idk i don't think he's saying that because he's actually happy i think he's saying that because he harbors an insane amount of self-hatred that isn't piercing like a knife so much as it's a ghost that haunts his every waking hour. and he is absolutely convinced that arthur is a better person than him even when arthur very much isn't and he Believes in the prophecy more than anything he's ever believed in anything in his life and he WANTS freedom for his kind but ALSO. at a certain point he just. stopped believing it would ever happen? like you have these lines:

Sigan: But it must hurt so much to be so put upon, so overlooked, when all the while you have such power.

Merlin: That's the way it has to be.

Sigan: Does it? You're young, Merlin. Look inside yourself. You have yet to discover your true power. I can help you. Think, Merlin. To have the world appreciate your greatness. To have Arthur know you for what you are.

Merlin: That can never be.

and there are a couple more obvious examples within the show itself but there's also that one deleted scene where he's talking to lancelot and lancelot asks him about arthur finding out about his magic and merlin straight up just goes "he can never know." and the whole thing is very messy which is entirely understandable. like his devotion to arthur is because arthur is his friend obviously but it's ALSO because arthur is supposed to bring about a golden age and because if he looks after arthur then maybe all the horrible actions he's had to take that further cemented him as a monster within his own mind will be Worth It. but also he grew up desperately and painfully lonely and What If arthur hates him if he were to find out? Unbearable. so even if arthur DID bring about the golden age he thought it an impossibility that arthur would ever find out about his magic. i don't think he actually likes being arthur's servant i think he likes the rare moments in which arthur treats him like a friend instead of an object but also deep down he feels he deserves to be treated as an object because he hates himself.

SO arthur can continue to throw things at him and berate him and say things like "i always thought you were the bravest man i ever knew. i guess i was wrong." towards him even though that would've gotten s1 merlin hissing and spitting at him for being out of line because all of those things are his Penance for Existing and Being Awful because arthur is clearly a Better Person Than Him in his mind. he's got full-blown catholic levels of guilt is what i'm getting at

Guinevere propaganda!

In a lot of fanfics she's only there to act as a cheerleader for the popular m/m ship, one half of whom is her husband. and that's if she's even included at all

guinevere propaganda!

“I wish I was more powerful, like you guys. Even casting fireball takes it right out of me some days.”

“Hey, none of that. You're a valued member of the team, no matter what your power level.”

“I just don't understand how you can tear open that portal to the fire dimension so easily.”

“… fire dimension?”

“Yeah. Where the fire lives. Before you summon it. For fireballs.”

“Dude. We've been creating explosions by igniting flammable gases in the air. What the fuck have you been doing?”

[termagax]

"you only like her because shes a woman" yup "you let female characters get away with too much" yes "if a man did this you would hate him for it" indeed
