so merlin was one of those shows that existed pretty firmly in the pre-legalization of gay marriage era of shipping on tumblr which means there was a decent amount of energy at the time devoted to like. pro-gay marriage politics being expressed via shipping. what im trying to say here is that at one point in my life i owned a tote bag that said "some clotpoles marry dollopheads get over it." pre obergefell v. hodges tumblr was a different place it really was.

It’s so fitting that the “lock your posts behind a paywall” Tumblr feature was universally panned while the “force total strangers to see your shitposts” feature is celebrated

I think.

Look. I think fanfiction just absolutely rips because the stakes are so low.

I am literally just Out Here making dilfs pine and yearn and cry. I am making gal pals kiss on the mouth. I am mashing messy little trios together and daring them to figure themselves out while I watch with unbridled glee.

Nobody is paying me. Nobody is expecting anything of me. I am audacious and I am free. Viva la fucking weird, baby, make that shit sizzle.

I love going viral on tumblr.com. It’s like if you stood in a field and said some of the stupidest shit a human being is capable of and then like fifty thousand crows attacked you

Radiation is insane. There are rocks out there that will pull the seams of your organs apart if you stand too close to them.

this is quite possibly the funniest scene in any movie ever.

i can’t explain why but “i love you” / “it’ll pass” is genuinely one of the most comforting pieces of dialogue i’ve ever come across. the context is deliberately sad, the hot priest is walking away from fleabag, choosing religion over love [“oh i don’t know what this feeling is” / “is it god or is it me?”] and it’s SICK because he loves her too [ “i can’t have sex with you because i’ll fall in love with you and if i fall in love with you, i won’t burst into flames, but my life will be fucked”] but like. it’s not a “sad ending” for the sake of being sad and realistic or an unreasonably happy ending preaching love and forever ever-afters. it doesn’t villainize or glorify the concept of love or people. it’s simply speaking the truth in the simplest of words. you’re in love with me and it’s going to make you miserable but it’ll pass. the pain will lessen and that ache in your chest will fade till it’s tolerable. you’ll laugh more often. soon it’ll be easier to get up in the mornings. this is a law, a rule, a fact. no matter how precious that pain is, how inescapable- it’ll pass. even though he’s the hot priest and she’s fleabag and they’re so obviously made to be happily in love w each other- it’ll still pass. it’s how we’re built- to persevere, to survive, to break and be okay again.

Joyce was the only one of the lot of you that I could stand. I liked the lady…she was decent. She didn’t put on airs. Always had a nice cuppa for me. And she never treated me like a freak.

we became adults. and we forgot about that one lizard that can run on top of the water. and the bombardier beetle. we don't even think about mako sharks being the fastest shark anymore.
