merlin magic reveal fic where arthur asks “why didn’t you tell me?” and merlin says, mirthless smile and haunted eyes “all my dreams end in fire. fire and burning and dying”

#I just need a fic where merlin has an actual honest to god fear of fire #and the thought of burning in a pyre haunts him #it’s always a very passing remark in fics so I want to see how it’d be explored #and how horrified arthur would be over it #i'm talking graphic depictions of merlin burning in the middle of the square #i'm talking merlin waking up with a scream lodged in his throat because he can still smell the smoke and his own burning flesh #i'm talking merlin's biggest fear being arthur picking up a torch and lighting his pyre #looking as merlin screams and burns and screams and dies with nothing but hate in his eyes #i'm talking merlin being honestly fucking terrified of dying by fire #anyways #merlin #bbc merlin #merlin angst #arthur pendragon #merthur #merlin x arthur

i adore Maruki as a character because he's simultaneously the most relatable depressing character that will make you cry with empathy, and the goofiest wettest cat loser in the game like what do you mean youre a licensed therapist and your first response to trauma is to brainwash a girl, project ur relationship issues onto a 17 yr old boy, and then rule the world in a golden leotard? bro went from 0 to 100 so fast??? anyway he's like 30% of the reason why p5r works as well as it does

#maruki is so essential to why p5r works and im so serious about that #i should do a post one day just deep diving into what makes him the best antagonist. like narratively and thematically #maruki 10000% projected his life story onto joker #he called joker the light guiding his research and then his treasure is a torch?#he discussed his trauma at not being able to save rumi right before tempting joker to save akechi?#guys i think the therapist needs therapy #also he's so funny #remember when he sprinkled salt trying to act cool and then it blew in everyone's faces and stung a bunch of students #i love reading fics w him because its a toss-up #some of them call him out for being an insane world-dominating manipulator (valid)#and in some of them hes like the phantom thieves' weird neighbor that they invite sometimes bc he brings nice snacks (also valid)#i love it guys maruki the gift that keeps giving #persona 5 #my post #persona 5 royal #p5 #p5r #maruki takuto #takuto maruki #shuake #phantom thieves #akira kurusu #sumire yoshizawa #p5r maruki

Absolute chills when Odysseus told Eurylochus to light six torches knowing Scylla had six heads

#epic the musical #epic #epic spoilers #thunder saga #I also wonder if he asked Eurylochus to light the torches and distribute them himself trusting he’d give it to the man he trusted most #and so the man who would be eaten would be man who had something to do with opening the wind bag

lying awake obsessively thinking about randy bradley to soothe myself of my raging depression. i can feel the ghost of benson passing right through me.

#it's like he passed down the torch #and now i have to think about that pathetic twink to calm down #my light at the end of the tunnel randy bradley #the passenger 2023 #stockroom syndrome #randy bradley #benson the passenger

sing the song of sixpence that goes

“burn the witch.”

Um um um this is my new pc for a little game I may be in next year, run by my partner. She is a blood cleric. In other words: I will be back in the fucking building.

I will expand on her later but here’s some alt.
