I love when there's characters that are pair bonded and you know that wherever one of them is the other is also gonna be there.

interesting foods???? or it doesn’t have to be interesting lol. what are things you are eating is my question

I've tried lots of things! The dish that Argentina is known for is called asado, which is basically just various grilled meats, and it is delicious. I also had polenta, which is like grits but made of corn, and several types of Argentine pastries.

*for purposes of this poll, "unique" = not just the normal cylindrical shape (it's got a little something funky going on)

For reference:

Count Dooku (look at the curves! The drama! Rip Christopher Lee you legend)

Stellan Gios (GORGEOUS BEAUTIFUL ANGEL OF LIGHTSABER DESIGN don't talk to me about the Starlight Beacon)

Ezra Bridger (look, what 15 year old boy WOULDNT make a lightsaber gun. I would make a lightsaber gun)

The Darksaber (it looks like a sword because George Lucas hated the idea of a cortosis sword and it was too late to change the animation in that Clone Wars episode so BOOM we got new Mandalorian lore out of it)

The Inquistor Lightsaber (hehe spinny lightsaber go whiiiiirrrrr - I cannot believe these guys made it to live action)

Kylo Ren

More BBC Merlin x Text Posts because these things are so much fun to make.

Pt. One

It’s up to you how you decide (cooked, raw, best shape, something else)—I just want to know what you think:

(Extra credit if you also add in the notes or tags what your LEAST favorite berry is. Inquiring minds want to know!)

Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!

Merlin x text posts.

Am I doing this right? This is my first time making any of these.

How did your flight go??

Okay, so, the flights themselves were fine, but the flight from Miami to Buenos Aires got delayed, which was so annoying because I ALREADY had to wait in the airport for ten hours, and then I ALSO had to stay overnight. Which, actually, wasn't that bad bc I got to finish watching BBC Merlin and also sleep, but it also meant that I didn't meet my host family for a whole extra day.

But the flights themselves were fine. I watched some TV. Read some Dracula. Wrote at least 6k words in my current WIP.

Okay, but imagine a BBC Merlin time travel AU where both Merlin and Arthur get sent back, but neither one of them knows that the other one got sent back so they're both trying to change things while also not arousing suspicions. And, in true BBC Merlin fashion, they don't find out for the longest time. And I think they would get sent back at, like, the beginning of season two, that way Merlin and Arthur's dynamic is already established, meaning both of them don't want to do anything to change that and arouse the other's suspicions.

And you would think that one of them would notice, but every time Merlin does something suspicious/different, Arthur just thinks, "Oh, he's probably doing a magic thing that I didn't catch last time." And whenever Arthur does something different/suspicious, Merlin's just like, "Ah, my actions are having a butterfly effect. Good."

You've got two people trying to keep Morgana from turning evil. Arthur is telling her that things will be different when he's King, while Merlin is trying to relate to her more. Arthur automatically knows who to trust and who not to trust, and when Merlin points those things out, he actually listens. Arthur is always in the know. Uther has no idea what's going on. Merlin is out here doing ALL THE THINGS with his magic, and Arthur doesn't even notice. And neither of them can tell when the other is lying because both of them are such idiots. Somehow, Arthur ends up in mortal danger just as often as he did last time.

But it's not just silly-goofy-fun-and-games. There is so much angst. The whole time, Merlin is missing his Arthur, the one who died, and he thinks that he's never going to have that Arthur again. Plus, he knows this time that, if he fails, Arthur will die, and so there's a whole other level of pressure there.

Arthur, on the other hand, doesn't want to put Merlin through all of the trauma that he faced before. He feels responsible for making Merlin feel unable to share his secrets with him, and also knows that he will be causing Merlin unimaginable grief if he fails, which he does not want to do. Again.

But the whole thing is mostly hijinks. Because the show is mostly hijinks.

Merlin should've gotten a big, dramatic magic reveal scene. Preferably with a dragon.

I'm a day late to the final day of Camp Tolkien, but I was traveling all day yesterday and didn't have a chance to do anything, so I will complete the final prompt today:

Farewells: I had a lot of fun with this. I started out the two weeks with I think 10k words, and now I have 21k. My favorite thing that I've created (other than the actual things that I've written) is the make-up activity that I did.

The make-up activity in question is: Charades: Describe your project via emojis or memes.

So below the cut are some no-context Ochira memes. You might need to click to see the whole thing.

These were fun to make.
