way too much merlin

@whenyouhearthedoorcreak

she/they, mostly merlin, TMA, Simon snow, the occasional 1d

I’ve had like one too many people get mad at me about this stuff so here’s a quick rundown on my general merlin opinions

i am an arthur stan forever cause he hits me deep, but also like i am a Bradley Arthur defender, not a julian arthur defender. so like half of what i say is based on bradley acting not julian’s script lol

but i also hate that he made merlin scared i am a merlin s5 defender till i die cause that boy went through hell.

i ship basically every couple in merlin to some extent, but know that if i am talking about merthur that doesn’t mean i hate Gwen and vice versa.i genuinely love gwen so much i have like five post about her and how much i love her relationships to other characters including arthur.

i watch this show for characters not plot. i frankly still don’t know what morgause was up to so don’t ask me about that lol

We all return to the ranch someday.

That is a given.

The city is so god forsakenly bare.

Yet still so full of life.

But so is the desert.

So I don't know why I'm surprised.

The ranch promises freedom.

Promises responsibility with purpose involved.

The city promises nothing.

Yet still manages to disappoint.

But that disappointment is contagious.

A disease hard not to join.

I keep telling myself that someday I will get there.

And when I do it will be so much better.

So much nicer then here.

Stuck in limbo between the city and the land.

When I close my eyes.

I see nothing but sand.

The cowboy figure has always meant so much to me as a transgender man.

I never really watched westerns myself, but my grandpa liked them a lot and I would peer into his room and have a peek. I was infatuated with what the cowboy represented to me. I loved horses and getting toy ones to play with, and in a dance class we got dressed up as cowgirls for a performance and I had loved getting dressed for that and for western days at school, but it never felt right. Always a little off, because I was a cowboy, not a cowgirl. I was just happy to be something western. The game Darkwatch came out and I played it damn near religiously with my dad. When I was even younger Barbie Horse Adventures was as close to a cowboy simulation as I could get in those days. I wouldn't even complete the missions, I'd just run through the map with my horse having made up cowboy adventures instead of acknowledging I was a Barbie Horse Jockey Girl lol. I remember staring at the men that would ride down our street on their horses in full cowboy gear, as excited as if I were at a parade. I saw McCree when Overwatch came out and my jaw dropped and I thought, "God. I wish I looked like him." And immediately drew chunky McCree art and looked for more.

So many little moments.

Throughout my whole life I just adored the idea of cowboys, but never sat down and really thought about why. I tried to sit down and think about it the other day.

Cowboys are so important to me and my transition. Someday I'll get a nice pair of boots for myself.

I’ve seen a lot of people talking about the Barbie movie and about the parts that touched on real-life dynamics, but the most uncomfortably real part to me is something I haven’t seen talked about yet, and it’s when Ken ultimately collapses and Barbie goes to talk to him. And EVERY TIME she tries to support him, he interprets her words as his cue to try and make a move romantically. And every time she gently rejects his advances he collapses wailing and slapping himself to the point that she feels bad. For being honest about not wanting a relationship with him.

“No, Ken, this isn’t the answer,” was the best line in response to his existential problems and I’m 100% glad they had both Barbie sticking to it and the other Kens positively supporting Ken without having to dunk on Barbie or call her a bitch for refusing to fake romantic feelings she does not have.

photos that make you stop, google “billie piper gay”, and find on her wiki that she said in a 2006 interview with Gay Community News, “I fancy women big time… I check them out more than I check men out. Maybe I would want to sleep with a woman.”

the people have spoken

‘He’s too pure of heart to be anyone’s bit on the side’

Is that why you’ve never made a pass, Crowley? Is that why you’re living in the car? Never tried to kiss him? Never initiated touch (it’s usually Aziraphale touching Crowley)? Never tried to ask for more? Never tried for the fabulous kiss?

Have you never turned around and seen the way he gazes at you, Crowley? Never seen the look of pure adoration or for that matter the looks of pure lust? Did you always think Aziraphale was too pure of heart for the love you wanted to offer him?

And then Nina says something and Aziraphale drags you into the dance and you think well perhaps, no less pure of heart but perhaps Aziraphale could want you, could want what you want.

But by the time you tried, Heaven had already stolen him.
