LISTEN. What if Nimueh tricked Uther and instead of taking Ygraine’s life to have Arthur she trades Uther’s. Ygraine doesn’t ban magic and maybe makes Balinor a lord although he travels around the kingdoms trying to round up all the dragons so he can protect them or something. Hunith insists on teaching Merlin that he has to work for things and not just demand them from people so Merlin grows up pretty much the same. Maybe him and Arthur meet as kids and they get into a fight in the court-yard and they come back to the castle covered in mud but grinning like idiots because they made a new friend. That was the only time they’d actually seen each other but they never forget. anD THEN AFTER A FEW YEARS. Ygraine throws a ball for Arthur’s 20th birthday and Arthur is talking to the knights and then they announce Merlin’s arrival(his parents were busy with the dragons and couldn’t come), anD HE’S DECKED OUT ON A GOLDEN SUIT AND ARTHUR GETS SO DISTRACTED HE SPILLS AN ENTIRE GOBLET OF WINE ON HIS CLOTHES AND ALL THE KNIGHTS ARE LIKE “the fuck????” and anyway obviously Merlin makes fun of him and they start the whole bickering/bantering friendship and obviously they fall in love and someone makes an off-hand comment about how Camelot’s colors have always been red and gold 

my writing fundamentally changed forever ten years ago when i realized you could use sentence structure to control people’s heart rates. is this still forbidden knowledge or does everyone know it now

I love that Nico always becomes friends with every weird creature, God, Titan, etc that is just not accepted or overlooked by everyone else. He's such a sweetheart.

He's the only one that talked to Hestia in the campfire. He became friends with Bob and made sure that he knew Percy was a good person. He became friends with the troglodytes.

And it's all because he knows what it's like to be judged and set aside because you're weird, and he doesn't want anyone else to go through that.

I feel like the fandom often portrays him as antisocial or mean, when he's actually the opposite, he's just super sarcastic and that gets misinterpreted a lot.

You ever think about how Kaito in fanon tends to be portrayed as a bit of a narcissist who would absolutely call his reflection a handsome devil, but manga Kaito only seems to show pride in his skill and not his looks, and could potentially get a little tense as seeing himself unexpectedly because he had a robot with his face get close to killing him.

(Or we have the 1412 anime, where anytime we see a reflection, Kaito is seeing his dad or Kid and not really himself.)

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.
