"Your first battle wound." *Wraps Merlin's wound in ripped of fabric of his shirt*

There is something so adorable about that happening so late in the series. Because it's true... Merlin's previous battlewounds have been burns, poison, etc. But never blood. And most of these things Arthur doesn't even know about.

And Arthur's mind instinctually goes: I've been watching you, always. This is your first wound and maybe you're freaking out about it, so don't worry it's cool actually. I don't care that I've had worse wounds. We're not moving until we took care of it! I won't move until I took care of you.

(how lucky am I to finally take care of you?)

Merlin: seriously? The good shirt!!!!

Arthur:(internally: why is he so calm? He should be freaking out! That's a serious wound! Have embarrassed myself? I imagined this moment differently) don't worry, you can mend it.

Arthur's definitely spend sleepless hours at night imagining how to react if Merlin ever got hurt. And now he's confused af because it didn't go as planned.

Meanwhile Merlin:

I don't know. His vision is not great, one eye and all.

SARAYN: Someone is coming. ÅSE: Hm? Guards again? We fight? SARAYN: We should leave quietly while we still can. ÅSE: They will see fire. They will know we are here. GUARD: We are already well aware you are here. It seems those of the darkwood still do not know their place. SARAYN: On the contrary; the arrogance of high elves is as renown as your skill. GUARD: Tch. I did not think the bastard’s following was so… diverse. Seems we’ve underestimated him. No matter. You will meet the same end as your ill-fated master. ÅSE: The portal! We go! EIRA: Åse! ÅSE: Witcher? What is this? You are in past now, too? Where are guards? TALILA: Guards? EIRA: You’re back now, thank the stars. THERION: Lord Tev’us! INDRYR: You’ve been shot. SARAYN: It’s just the shoulder… ÅSE: … EVE: Come and sit, let me see the wound. SARAYN: Don’t be foolish. We both know the last thing you’d enjoy is saving my life again. I am well enough. Take the banner and I’ll show myself to the clerics. EVE: You’re right. I don’t owe you any kindness. But unlike you, I don’t need a reason to act with compassion. Sit down or I shall make you. SARAYN: … My lady. EVE: Brace yourself, but I must remove the arrow, first. ASTER: Make sure to yank nice and slow, I hear that helps. TALILA: Oh! Aster… EIRA: What happened back there, anyways? ÅSE: It is… strange story. I shall tell you later at tavern. EVE: Are you well? SARAYN: I am. Thank you, my lady. EVE: Mm. SARAYN: The banner. Please, take it. EVE: You did not seem quite as willing before. What has changed? SARAYN: I should accept that I’ve been beaten. Surely it will not aid me to cross my lady further. EVE: laughing No, it won’t. TALILA: Ah! Look there! ASTER: A fox? TALILA: A think we’re meant to follow it. INDRYR: It must be showing us the way out.  THERION: You really alright? SARAYN: I am. THERION: Heh. Battlewounds make nice trophies. Embrace your new scars. SARAYN: Yes, they will be good reminders.

BushMedWeek! "Battlefield Feelings"

The doctor is pretty caring, which definitely softens the pain of the battlewounds..

[thehugwizard]

my dog just dragged me across the ground trying to fight another dog (i am an adult so im actually kinda impressed) and my battlewounds may not be impressive but i am being a baby about them and i could use a (gentle) hug

Awwww oh no!!!!!! *gives you a big ol bear hug*

Kinda inspired by the ask you sent me, we know Gustav has a CURSED fashion sense, right? I feel like in a modern au, it being Summer would only highlight that, so like, what atrocious stuff do you think that Gustav would wear and also probably buy for the kids

(i'm sure siri is the only well dressed person in the family some days and it's made so much worse bc she's obviously a fashion queen)

HELP BC YOURE SO RIGHT

have a lil doodle i made in ten minutes to illustrate the ✨️vision✨️

My art skills are shitty today shhh we dont talk about that

A list of atrocious things Gustav would buy for himself, Siri, and their kids;

Crocs. All the crocs. Preferably with weird designs cuz he thinks theyre cool. Sunni has psychedelic ones and she doesnt know what to do with them. Siri's are with flowers, Niv's are dinosaurs and Hellie's have a fire theme. The Guster himself has the most neon purple ones he could find and he only ever wears them in race mode. Siri does wear them sometimes but only in the house or in the garden

Also, bucket hats. Siri keeps telling him to put on sunscreen but he's too lazy for that, so he just goes for the next best option and just has a bucket hat on all day every day. Sunniva sometimes makes or buys pins for him to put on it and he brags about it to Snotlout

The dude's got like. Ten silly t-shirts. One for every day of the week and than some more. They either have very anti-authority texts (which is so valid) or just. Plain stupid. He's seen some tiktoks from the youth tm that tucking your shirt in your pants makes you look cool so that's what he does always. Niv absolutely hates everything about this.

He's got shorts that end above the knees so everyone can see his battlewounds (scratches he got from tripping over Fanghook, his own feet, and falling while skating) and it utterly proud whenever someone mentions them. He tells different stories of how he got them every time someone asks

The most normal thing are sunglasses, surprisingly. At least the kid isn't gonna let his eyes go to shit? He did buy them from a very cheap shady store so who knows how long before they break

Surprisingly, Siri is totally fine with it (she shouldn't be ngl, but for some reason she is). She just doesn't see any harm in him dressing up the way he wants.

Niv, Sunni and Helene hate some parts of it with a burning passion tho. They liked it as kids (Sunni a bit more than Niv and Hellie cuz their dad dressing up in the craziest things meant she could dress to all her needs too) but when they got older and Gustav became the "how do you do fellow kids" parent they just felt. Embarrassed lmao.

Not completely unrelated but during summer family-reunion-esque bbqs (Siri's dad has doubts about inviting his kid's weird husband every year again bc of the fashion sense and personality) Gustav would buy a "kiss the cook"-like apron and force who-ever is cooking to wear is (snickering in the background cuz damn that looks so funny)

People would ask Siri to like. Control her hubby and she just goes "why would I"

She's so into his silly that she just doesn't want it to chance. At some point Sunniva does join in on the silly again and Siri supports that just as much cuz she knows Sunni enjoys that stuff. Helene keeps hating it for the rest of her life tho. She doesn't think it's cool tm :')

Anyway that turned into a whole thing bc my brain had many thoughts and needed to relay them to you LMAO thank you sm for this ask!! It was sm fun to think about it <333

it’s really cool to see people engaging with my piece on narcissism/PDs and why it’s important to reflect on how we use these labels. i’m glad it resonates with people. i think the reason it bothers me so much is because these medical model labels (narcissistic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, etc) are so, so widely misused? and i see, and hear, people who consider themselves “woke” and full of empathy using them to deliberately put down another person. you can’t claim to be a mental health activist in one breath then attempt to denigrate someone for potentially having atypical (aka, not “neurotypical” or “normal”) neurological experiences. i just cannot take the hypocrisy of it, and neither should you, reading this.

labels can be limiting. and people who use them against you to perpetuate conservative ideologies of health and what is “normal” don’t have the intellectual depth to understand what they’re doing. or, maybe they do, but it’s unlikely they’ll bother to better themselves. but also, labels can be incredible! they help you realise that isn’t you, you aren’t defective or ‘wrong’. that thought, or that behaviour, belongs to your condition/label/disorder/etc. that’s not to say we can excuse ourselves for literally anything and blame it on the label, but it does allow you the chance to forgive yourself, and to try and understand yourself a little more. sometimes, being atypical is like trying to put together a jigsaw puzzle but you’ve never seen the complete picture of what you’re creating. it’s weird as hell. i like to focus on the things i can do and the achievements i have made, to remind myself that i am multidimensional. we all have the ability to do that, and that’s pretty goddamn amazing.

This is what my gf and I deal with while trying to sleep with a new kitten in the house. Imagine sleeping peacefully then getting bit in the ass by your wild child #catmoms #crazycatlady #catlady #kittensofinstagram #wildchild #battlewounds (at Honesdale, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAtVP5qlr4x/?igshid=1molmuy7aa56c

My hand and healing journey, part 2: this is my scar. 5 inches long, it was a huge source of shame for years until I started to heal my soul. I kept it covered at all times, wearing long sleeves & sweaters in 100° weather. To this day, people stare and I watch children cling to parents legs and back away from me regularly. I am asked constantly by complete strangers what happened to my arm in both kind and concerned and alarmingly rude ways. My responses vary depending on who's asking. If it's children, my answers are reserved and loving, with no details. My own son still does not know what really happened. I just say "Something really bad happened to me a long, long time ago". If it's some asshole on the street with no manners, my go tos are: "a shark attack. I won." "A war injury", "a football injury. Best game of my life." Or simply "what happened to your face/manners?" To "none of your business". If it's an addict, or someone new to my life who doesn't already know, I tell the truth with all the painful details, hoping to help someone make better, more self loving decisions than I did. The best part is that today, there is no shame left in me over this arm scar. She is a beautiful and frightening reminder of how far we will go to self destruct when we're wounded and filled with self loathing. A reminder of one of the countless traumas I've survived and overcome. She reminds me that I am beautiful, that I matter and that I am a fucking warrior. In 2014, I got a tattoo on her opposite side to bless this sacred place on my body. This butterfly looking into a mirror reminds me not to forget the caterpillar I once identified with, but to honor my transformation, beauty and strength. We can always heal. #selfhealers #SelfLove #scars #battlewounds #picoftheday #recovery #lifeisbeautiful #lifeisbeautifulevenwhenitsugly #soblessed #warriorspirit #shareyourstory #LOVE https://www.instagram.com/p/B1rhPzYg_OJ/?igshid=eokgm761lga6

I mean. Technically it is a battlewound.

The less he knows about it the better, really...
