this whole scene felt like a damn fever dream
There’s like 12 different kinds of tension in this image.

quick question
why is the one in the middle wearing 5 shirts
that’s why she’s being bullied
ok but they also have different versions that show each girl in the group getting bullied by the others
This is a modern work of art
I’ve seen them once labeled as “homoerotic bullying pictures” and honestly don’t know what else to call them
funniest thing would be if when Queen Elizabeth dies or steps down and Charles is all ready to assume the throne, here comes King Arthur, Excalibur in hand, sauntering back from Avalon like “oof what a nap! thanks for keeping the chair warm I’m back to be king again”
like, given that “King Arthur isn’t actually dead, he’ll be back to be King again someday” is, like, an actual aspect of the legend and a thing that a lot of people purport to believe, has anyone ever actually tried it? showing up to buckingham palace claiming to be Arthur Pendragon, The Once And Future King, and assume the throne? does the british government have a protocol for checking whether someone claiming to be King Arthur actually is? does parliament have a secret picture of the Real Excalibur kept under lock and key, only viewed if someone claims to be King Arthur, that they can use to confirm or refute the identity of alleged Kings Arthur? if not, how do they deter every jackass with a sward from pretending to be him? does filing a false King Arthur report constitute treason?
The rules are simple. “Arthur” has to show up with a sword. They give the sword to the Lady of the Lake, and if she throws it back to the claimant, he’s legit and gets to be king again.
So the test for King Arthur’s identity falls to the even less officially identifiable Lady of the Lake. No one can even agree on which Lady, or which lake, is the official one, much less how to tell if you’ve got The Lady of The Lake. All of which suggests that all you need to accomplish this is one (1) sword, a willing female acquaintance, and a nearby body of water.
There isn’t even any requirement for “Arthur” to catch the sword, so the Lady can just javelin an epee right at him.
Well when you look at it that way, one might conclude that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

fictional kiss things that end me
- being unable to open their eyes for a few moments afterward
- one small kiss, pulling away for an instant, then devouring each other
- pressing their foreheads together while kissing
- speaking normally, then after the kiss their voice is hoarse
- guys furrowing their brow when kissing passionately
- staring at the other’s lips, trying not to kiss them, before giving in
- running their thumb over the other’s lips
- when they lean forward a fraction as if to kiss the other person, then realize they shouldn’t and pull back to stop themselves
- ripping the other away - “no we shouldn’t” - but when they kiss them again they moan and hold them close
- one sliding their hand into the other’s hair slowly
- their entire body freezing for a second when their love kisses them
- accidentally being forced inches apart from each other, staring at each other’s lips, and just before they kiss someone pulls them back apart
- when one stops the kiss to whisper “I’m sorry, are you sure you-” and they answer by kissing them more
- a hoarse whisper “kiss me”
- then licks their lips and says “please”

Also:
- following the kiss with a series of kisses up to suckle an earlobe
- following the kiss with a series of kisses down the neck
- lightly running the very tip of the tongue around the outline of the lips with darting touches before actually kissing
- raking a hand through the hair and getting a good handful to pull the other person closer (before or during the kiss)
- starting with a kiss meant to be gentle, ending up in devout passion
- softly moaning into the kiss
- smiling just before or during the kiss
- kissing tears away
- kissing at laughlines/crow’s feet/frownlines
- kissing pouty lips
- lightly running fingers up along the neck while kissing
- bringing up the hands to cup the other person’s face while kissing
- slowly letting their fingers twine together while kissing softly
- a huge smile on face(s) when the kiss ends
- a gentle “i love you” whispered after a soft kiss, followed immediately by a stronger kiss
…. I like fictional kisses, mk?
