merlin raised by druids and being The Androgyn, you ponder it for a while and painstakingly come to the conclusion that you're staring at a woman. blink. you're looking at a man. long, luscious hair that morgana and gwaine are jealous of. pretty eyes and full lips. sharp cheekbones. uther's teachings that echo in arthur's mind and have been quieting over the years going dead silent the moment he sees merlin.
I’ve made a kiddads post assigning them things that I did/happened to me growing up. Now I’m doing that with the dads and my father’s experiences.
Darryl: In high school, he snuck out to attend a party - at a barn, in the middle of nowhere - with the rest of his football buddies. He did not have a good time and left not even two hours in. Frank didn’t even question him on his whereabouts, he woke up his parents and flat out confessed upon returning home.
Glenn: He was out at a bar with the GCT the night before his wedding. He’d only had one drink and walked outside to call a cab when he fainted and hit his nose off the edge of the curb. No one could figure out why he fainted and, sporadically, he still does. His nose is broken in all of his wedding pictures.
(Bonus: he once fainted in front of a cop after there was a noise complaint. Morgan came down to see Glenn flat on the ground and a mortified cop at their door. Glenn does not remember this at all.)
Ron: Early on in his relationship with Samantha, he took Terry Jr out on a “stepfather-son bonding day”. All they did was sit in a cafe, staring at each other in silence as Terry Jr had a milkshake and Ron had coffee. Ron did not like it and started stealing some of Terry’s milkshake with a spoon. This was the closest they’d ever been before the Forgotten Realms.
Henry: My father is simply too put together. He’s never had an experience like Henry in his life.
atsushi passing out in the english dub today <3 it's a different Flavor than the japanese version but i absolutely love how faint he sounds, like he's losing his breath 💖💖💖
longer clip than the first one because i was also thinking about this little sequence of events. atsushi hallucinating dazai behind him, and then standing up like that just to pass out a few seconds later. imagining he can see the spots in his vision forming after standing and he's getting too dizzy to stay upright, but he's fighting it so hard in some attempt to get through that sentence at the very least. the sweat shows that too. but in the end it snuck up on him to fast and he fainted 💔 poor thing
Queequeg teaching you how to tie knots with Starbuck...
I want the buff harpooner to be autistic about rope at me...
me too.
you don't even have to ask, she's the one who sees you puzzling over the ropes and pulls you to the side. within a blink she hands you a small length of new rope and sits next to you, close enough to hug. her deep, calm voice carefully instructs you on how to tie better knots, simplistic, then complex, a very subtle smile twitching on her lips whenever you succeed. you don't need to learn so many, but you want to. you want to stay, listening to her talk more than you've ever heard, the tension in your shoulders gradually leeching away
Starbuck joins you at some point, and you barely notice. not the way you usually do, nervously and with the strain of interacting. everything is comfortable, somehow, paying attention to Queequeg's voice so you're not overwhelmed. at some point her hands come to guide yours, and you have to resist the urge to stare at the vivid, beautiful tattoos and scars that dot her knuckles, beautiful because they're her. she holds your fingers so delicately, helping you tie a Desperate's Knot for the first time
and for a moment she simply grasps your hands, the finished knot in your palms as she watches you, here and existing with her.
imagining spamton screaming and punching dumpsters full of HATE like "DAMN YOU REIGEN!!!!" after his loss and once he finds out reigen actually lost to someone, he starts following cecil around like a stray cat like You win this for me? you avenge spamton's name??? 🥺
sans is waiting in the last corridor like "So you finally made it. The end of your journey is at hand... Rei-- holy shit cecil from welcome to night vale??" and then he kind of just geeks out
whenever i talk too much/too excitedly noor runs up to me and bonks my head with his and ik that's affection but we always jokingly call it the "girl stfu <3" kiss
