#HE HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL

[cosmic-horror-statements]

Idk what this says about me but season 3 of Malevolent is my comfort season. Like when I'm sad that's what I listen to.

This is the season that made me cry more times than any other. We almost lost Arthur multiple times both physically and mentally. Arthur hit bedrock.

But it's the season that makes me feel good? I guess if I had to guess why I find comfort in it, it's the most Malevolent Podcast reason out there. That season is proof that this too shall pass. Even when Arthur was at his absolute worst... He still managed to come back from it. He survived and lived on. He made it. Against all odds, he made it.

That's beautiful to me and it brings me a lot of joy.

Help BBC Merlin fans! I'm writing a Merlin story and I'm trying to pinpoint what moment Arthur would realize he was in love but I can't narrow it down and it's been a while since I've watched the series.

What moment from the show do you think Arthur would realize he's in love if he were emotionally intelligent enough to do so?

some headcanons about x6-88

Mostly post institute, some angsty ones included: - Definitely has a massive, hidden stash of fancy lads. Extremely over-protective of them, and will somehow notice if just one is missing even if he's got like 50. The only person he's ever shared with is Shaun. Might share with sole if they ask nicely - no promises though. Once Deacon tried to prank him by hiding them and saying he ate them. Deacon to this day will refuse to say what happened after, scared to relive the experience. - Even years after the institute exploded, he still gets afraid of showing emotions. It'll be less severe around people he's closer to, especially sole, but strangers get the cold shoulder. As more time passes, he'd be a bit more... tolerant, but he will still be overly cautious. Probably has an extreme fear of getting close to people (metaphorically and literally). - Knew he could feel even while in the institute, and in extension, deep down knew the synths he hunted could too. He always pushed it down though, due to a good old dose of institute brainwashing, and fear of ending up the same as other runaway synths. After the institute, feels immense guilt thinking about all the synths he tracked down. - Immediately takes up a protective role over synth Shaun post-institute-boom, feeling as if it's the least he owes to Father. Slowly, it develops into a sibling-like dynamic, making the protectiveness come out of their bond, rather than something he feels he must do. Shaun would be the second person he got close to, the first being sole. Getting close to Shaun finally made him realize that kindness isn't a weakness, it can be a strength. - Instead of getting too hot like other people headcanon, I imagine X gets cold very easily. Constantly wears fluffy coats, jumpers, woolly hats, and scarves. Back in the institute, the temperature was always kept exactly the same. He isn't used to the commonwealth's cold temperatures. Sole knitted him some gloves once. That is the only pair he'll wear.

the ed & alfons comedic duo we never got

"Well I'd like to see YOU people try to FLY this thing through a FUCKING Portal of Truth with TWO BLOODY DECADES of time displacement yanking you in 83 directions at once, and not fucking CRASH!

"OH, I'M THE ASSHOLE?! I'M THE ASSHOLE?! YOU TIED ME UP AND STRAPPED ME INTO A ROCKET, YOU FUCKING NUTCASE! BUILDING ROCKETS FOR TERRORISTS OF ALL PEOPLE, AND HE CALLS ME DELUSIONAL!"

"OH, SURE! I SHOULD'VE JUST TURNED DOWN THE FUCKING THULE SOCIETY! AND THEY TOTALLY WOULDN'T HAVE KILLED ME, RIGHT?! AND THEN I WOULD'VE JUST GONE TO WORK FOR ANOTHER WELL-FUNDED FACILITY LOOKING TO SPONSOR MY RESEARCH! AND WITHOUT A FIXED BUDGET, NO LESS!"

but my boy my sweet boy he didn't deserve to go

(ಥ﹏ಥ)‧º·(˚ ˃̣̣̥⌓˂̣̣̥ )‧º·

[neverkei]

im so curious as to what people think of spot

hes such a different villain then you normally see, someone who was forced into that life, all clumsy and clueless as to what hes doing

though i didnt like how quickly his ideas escalated, kind of felt forced so they could move on in the movie

i hope im not alone in this, i really liked the movie but he seemed so rushed ?

[vettelcore]

[amberizedcasey]

there is no way they are all dead, i know this fuckers they love their cubitos way to much to do this to us, baghera and cellbit for example expent they last days talking about how they wanted to stay in the egg island and how they were felling free to be themselfs there, those assholes have some ansgt lore planed i just know that

[artdrawsok]

Imma fuckin say it:

Ajax should've lived.

My boy was only there for like 5 minutes and I became attached.

[flowerpoweryay09]

If you’d asked me when I first started reading the books which of the deadmen would be the last two standing by Until The End, I definitely would not have guessed Dexter being one of them.

I just think that’s funny to think about

You know who I would have loved to see Eddie interact with in season 5?

Suzie-pooh

They are just complete opposites.

Can you imagine it?

 Dustin clearly gushed about them to each other. He would have told Eddie that Suzie is really smart and a total badass, she’s a hacker and a certified genius.

And he told Suzie about how Eddie is really nice and he sticks up for people, he’s the leader of this really fun, welcoming club.

Then Suzie-pooh goes to visit Dusty-bun and meet his friends...

meets

And obviously they at first feel like Dustin is a complete liar. Suzie seems horrified and Eddie tries to make her feel more comfortable by talking about the one thing they clearly have in common: Dustin. She kinda relaxes at the mention of Dusty-bun and Dustin thinks it’s all gonna be ok. But then Eddie mentions that at the last hellfire Dustin’s bard did something impressive...and they lost her again, at hellfire, because Dustin never actually mentioned the name of the super welcoming nice club he joined. And it does not sound like Suzie’s type of club. The conversation fizzles. 

This time Suzie tries. Dusty-bun told her that Eddie plays guitar and mentioned a song called hallowed be thy name, which Eddie is really into at the moment. So in her head Suzie was imagining a guy sat on the grass with an acoustic playing a nice relaxing song about Jesus. Obviously Eddie is horrified when he realises that that is what Suzie was expecting, even though she doesn’t say it out loud and quickly dispels it by talking about Dio and Metallica. He asks her what she plays on the flute, because he thought it would be perfect dnd tavern music but it’s actually more modern super cheesy stuff like soundtracks from musicals like Grease and of course never ending story.

They both desperately want this to end but are too polite to say.

 But then upside down stuff starts happening and they get separated from the others. They end up bonding. Suzie proves how much of a badass she is and Eddie proves that he really is a nice guy. Eddie gives her the pep talk about how she doesn’t have to worry about doing what other people want her to do, like dating another mormon or studying subjects that ‘girls aren’t supposed to do’. It’s ok to be different and make her own decisions for herself. Suzie gives him the pep talk about how he really is capable of graduating and getting out of Hawkins and it’s the same for him, he can’t let the small-minded towns people make him believe that once he leaves high school he is going to turn out like his dad. He won’t. 

Then at the end she goes to a corroded coffin show, hand in hand with Dustin and the whole gang. They all are there to support Eddie, who has just graduated. Suzie tells Dustin that she really likes his friends and she is going to start her own club when she gets back to Utah, she wants all the ‘lost sheep’ in her high school to have somewhere to go to learn how to use computers and code and once they all trust each other, hack. 

Then for the last song Suzie gets on stage and her and Eddie sing never ending story because there is no way Eddie is just going to let that go once he finds out. And everyone joins in, including Hopper and Murray. Everyone dances together. NO ONE DIES.
