I was practicing my horse drawing skills, and figured I'd make it more fun.

:D

Besides, I haven't drawn anything merlin related for a while, so I figured I might as well.

Been feeling very bitchy lately.

6, 21, 36, 39, 42 for Hellcheer!!

6. Who would beg the other not to leave? Who has to leave to protect the other?

This one's tough because my personal preference is neither of them leaving the other for their own good or whatever! I've written fanfic about pairings specifically because I don't love that scenario.

BUT I could see Eddie telling Chrissy he doesn't want to hold her back if she's college-bound or has future plans that don't mesh with him being stuck in Hawkins. I could also see  Chrissy wanting to protect Eddie from her parents' disapproval. But neither could stand to be apart once they know how they both feel,and I don't think any of these reasons they might separate would need to be permanent or even very long.

21. Who would get into a fight to defend the other’s honor? Who tends to the other’s wounds?

I love reading fics where Eddie's a scrappy, dirty fighter against Jason or some other scumbag who disrespects/makes moves on Chrissy. (Or if he lets her mom have it, verbally.) I think Chrissy would also defend him, too, and it would make Eddie weak in the knees. (Honestly, he'd be the swoonier of the two, but that's a bonus question.)

They absolutely take care of each other if anyone needs a little H/C.

36. Who’s more likely to fire up the stove at 2am because the other woke up in the middle of the night hungry?

If Chrissy woke up hungry in the night she'd probably want something simple, like a little bowl of cereal or some peanut butter or cheese and crackers or a yogurt cup, but Eddie would decide he's hungry, too, and cook them some eggs or pancakes or a frozen pizza or something else that's basically more meal than midnight snack.

39. Who would rescue an injured animal and nurse it back to health? What would the other think?

Both of them are so empathetic and can't stand to see anyone or anything suffer that they seem equally likely to bring home a critter, and the other would fully support it. "You did the right thing, babe."

42. What’s their favorite type of weather to enjoy together? (getting snowed in together, watching thunderstorms, etc.)

I'm pretty partial to the thunderstorm scene in Marigold by @hangon-silvergirl, so I'd probably have to say that. Metal as hell, right? A close second would be playing in the snow together, going sledding, just being absolute children on a snowy day and then going back inside to curl up with cocoa and movies.

(Chrissy loves a good day at the pool or the beach but Eddie is less into to weather that doesn't allow for his whole aesthetic. He's also very resistant to wearing sunscreen, and Chrissy has to browbeat him into it. He's game to put it on her, though! Or to see her in a swimsuit or shorts or sundress. So he’ll also enjoy some fun in the sun.)

idk man but something about Stanley "taught himself extremely advance physics/math/probably many other things while running a relatively successful business" Pines and Stanford "is wanted in almost every dimension with a judicial system of some kind" Pines is sooo fucking funny to me

My baby daughter got her adorable puffin-print dress absolutely CAKED in mud crawling around the yard and my first thought was "oh no her beautiful dress"

And my second thought was "oh huh it really WOULD be easy to unconsciously steer her away from playing in the dirt. Unlike my son, whose outfits are usually some kind of solid dark easily washed pants plus a shirt that doesn't trail in the dirt like a dress does."

Anyway something something gender roles start getting shoved on kids from literal birth, but with a little time to think about things, YOU TOO can let your children of any gender absolutely destroy their clothes in the dirt pit they're digging in your garden

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

in case you were wondering how things went down at the pokemon world championships this weekend:

-during the top 8 of the TCG masters division, chilean player fernando cifuentes was running a gimmick deck that consisted exclusively of four iron thorns ex and a whole ton of control-focused trainer cards in a strategy that either completely shuts down opponents or shits the bed entirely

-through skillful play and some good luck, fernando made it through 2 days in a tournament with over 1100 players to get to the quarterfinals

-fernando lost 2-0 to ian robb, who was running regidrago vstar (widely considered one of the best decks in the current format)

-in an overexuberant victory celebration, ian did what can only be described as a jacking-off gesture, on a stream with tens of thousands of viewers run by a company with very firm player conduct expectations

-the judges determined that this warranted a penalty of game loss, but for some reason, rather than applying it to ian’s next game in the semifinals, they applied it to the one he had just won in the top 8

-(it should be noted that the prize money for making top 8 is $15k while top 4 is $20k, so this jerking gesture cost ian robb $5,000)

-nearly an hour after fernando came to terms with his loss and the end of an impressive run, he was told that he was to get back on stream because he’s now playing in the semifinals due to winning by default

-the player he was up against in the semifinals was playing a deck (miraidon) that happens to get shut down hard by iron thorns’s gimmick, so fernando wins the semifinals

-said player, jesse parker, had notably had an undefeated run throughout the whole tournament up to this point, and likely would have continued that streak had his intended semifinal opponent not gotten a game loss penalty for miming a lewd act on stream

-meanwhile, the other semifinal winner is japan’s seinosuke shiokawa, running a deck (roaring moon) that players had largely written off as underwhelming months ago

-the grand finals are on the following day, so saturday evening was abuzz with a lot of people baffled by the absurdity of the situation

-come sunday afternoon, the grand finals are set to begin, with fernando cifuentes running iron thorns and seinosuke shiokawa running roaring moon

-it should be noted here that the roaring moon deck doesn’t rely very much on abilities, so iron thorns’s gimmick has very little effect - this is basically an even matchup

-fernando wins the first game of the set, and seinosuke wins the second

-the third and final game of the set is a bonafide cheek-clencher, with both players reaching a state where a single KO will win the game, but fernando manages to clinch it at the last minute

-and that’s the story of how a guy pretending to jork it led to the first instance of a pokemon world champion who also lost the quarterfinals
