When you’re so so tired because it’s either very late or very early but you have to go to the park with your pokemon to get them enrichment because you can’t go to the park with them during the day because they don’t get along well with other pokemon

#oc #my ocs #juliett #pokémon #purrloin #hydreigon #For some reason most of Juliett’s pokemon just can’t behave around other pokemon #There’s Hydreigon who likes to bite #And then there’s Tyrantrum who also bites #And then there’s Froslass who likes to turn stuff into ice statues #And then there’s Mawile who also bites. But I think she’s less of a problem because she can be good and listens when Juliett tells her #not to bite people I guess #And then there’s Purrloin who is the most perfect angel who has never done anything wrong in her entire life. Of course. #I don’t know why Juliett has so many bitey pokemon #that was not intentional when I was coming up with her team #But hey at least Juliett’s girlfriend is also coming to the park to spend time with her. She has two ghost types as well so it’s good for #them to be outside at night as well #I think Juliett is a very responsible pokemon trainer despite how she acts #I was struggling a lot with the background colours in this so I just colour picked them from the hgss national park preview backgrounds #very fun!

Era's shy, but only about one thing

I think people force the shy line about Era way too much.

Long story short, I think she's just shy about Kai.

Explanation:

Look at her. It's not her body or they would have went with one of the tamer concepts.

Listen to her. Her voice rarely shakes, its almost always sarcasm, only times this changes IIRC are when showing concern for Rune or Atlas or when... talking about Kai. There is literally one line where it feels like her character to be shy (don't think I've even heard it in game but it's an MVP line, either rng hates me or its coded to be rare lmao). Most of the time she just doesn't care.

Now I will say, the voice could be a mask, but I'd like to think the design is deliberate (Lunchboy even confirmed that there is *something* lore wise about the design)

The dream skin coming out reinforces this to me. People immediately jump to saying it doesn't suit her or she looks uncomfortable (bare in mind every skin has the exact same poses) and what irks me is that EVEN IF IT WERE TRUE, you mean to tell me you couldn't come up with a simple reason why it does work? My headcanons:

Base skin - She wears it because Kai said it would compliment his outfit (loops in Kai's obliviousness and pride with Era's down badness)

Dream skin - Building off base skin, she actually "dreams" of being more comfortable, maybe even parts of this manifest in the base skin

Idk, I'm willing to hear what other people have to say on this but to me it's like suddenly disproving Atlas being a genius because he admits to being wrong a couple times (a couple respawn and scoring lines) vs literally everything else he says-- A character is a holistic thing, not just one word and it feels like most people disregard the rest of hers.

Side note, in Pokémon types she'd be Fairy/Bug, not psychic or dark pls. She has magic not telekinetic/psychic abilities and wearing black doesn't mean dark!!! She lists caterpillars as one of her likes and is always accompanied by two butterflies. This is like not giving Juliette Fire/Fighting. This one's not even an argument, I wont die on this hill because I'll be killing you.

Who do you think was Sycamore's first pokémon ?

taking a break from boobposting to answer this ask i kept bc i wanted to doodle something for it--

i'm not sure how to put this (i'll do my best) but for me bc of the origins of pokémon and its ties with bug collecting and stuff i am very attached to the concept of augustine developing his interest in studying pokémon biology thru taking care and looking after bug pokémons. i often draw younger him as frolicking in the muds with lots of random critters etc. for example this drawing from my 2017 inktober is still dear to me:

so i'd like to think his first pokémon would be a scatterbug, maybe? i started thinking about it seriously as i was pondering this ask and i think he would name them "princesse" without even caring whether it's male or female and he would bring them home to his mom and be very proud of himself. maybe he'd keep them until he had to move out to sinnoh for his studies, at which point they'd have evolved into a vivillon and they'd part in couriway town on good terms...

in general i don't think augustine thinks of himself as "owning" pokémons the same way someone who might identify closer to a pokémon trainer would. like, dgmw, juliette is his garchomp but i don't think he conceptualizes his relationship with her the same way lysandre would his relationship with his pyroar, for example, and i think this goes both ways in the sense that maybe their relationships are less ? tied ? i guess? which doesn't make them any less strong obviously but i hope you can understand what i mean...

anyway in closing i hope you will accept this doodle of small augustine and princesse (baby)

#la réponse d #i think about his demo team a lot i'd like to think he borrowed them from someone. #but also the idea of him having like. pokémons he rescued at the lab and then just let do whatever they wanted once they were strong enough #including leaving or staying in the lab gardens to just hang out and some of them being like. really fucking powerful #through no effort on his part just bc they were treated well and were into battling to begin with #and just being able to go 'hey i need a pokémon team for sth rn who wants in' is hilarious. ngl.

Here is one of my oldest OCs, he finally gets his own post because I drew him and am thinking about him. His name is Vee, and he’s a Lucario/Mewtwo fusion. He loves to battle, and wants to be the strongest Pokémon (definitely not an impossible wish).

His full backstory is underneath the cut. It’s still a work in progress, but I’m happy enough with it to post.

TW for scientific experimentation, though I don’t go into any detail.

Vee is a Pokémon created by scientists as a fusion of Mewtwo and Lucario. These scientists never saw him as a living thing, only an experiment. They tested on him from the moment he was born until he managed to escape.

After escaping, he is found by Ghetsis. Ghetsis sees his story as a tool to use for his plans and takes him in. Vee grows up in Team Plasma, and becomes friends with N. His friendship with N lets him evolve into his final form, similarly to Lucario.

Eventually, he is kicked out, as Ghetsis sees his desire for battle as a liability. Nobody would believe that Team Plasma wanted them to release their Pokemon peacefully if they had a creature that wandered around, getting into dangerous situations at every turn.

Vee wanders aimlessly for a while, eventually meeting a healer named Maddie. With her help and through interactions with an artist named Juliette and her Mewtwo, Vee learns that people can be kind, and his anger mellows.

He still enjoys a high-stakes battle every now and then, and now wanders looking for something new to challenge.

Random Ziggy Headcanons because I owe it to the people:

Definitely a gamer boy, I don’t know shit about video games except for Call or Duty and Pokémon so I’ll let y’all decide what he plays cause gurl idk-

OWNS THOSE STUPID SHOCK PENS TO MESS WITH PEOPLE. Though one time he left one in reach of Gracie and it made her cry which made him cry so he swore to never leave them lying around ever again

Has an unhealthy obsession with fruit roll ups, his room is scattered with wrappers and Lucy or Juliette will come in and scold him about it while they pick them up for him anyways

Owns those anime girl body pillows, boy ones too cause he’s bisexual as fuck

Also owns a Pikachu onesie-

He also wears those stupid snap back caps you see at the mall from like 2014

He’s not big on working out or sports much, but he does really like hockey and it’s the only professional sport he religiously follows (Tampa Bay Lightning of course-). He also does play on a team as a goalie, and he’s actually really good cause he has no regard for personal safety so he’ll throw himself every which way to block the puck

Wears black nail polish all the time, Nancy got him some little lightning bolt stickers and he is obsessed with them now

Also wears guy liner and a little eyeshadow, just to make his eyes pop even more than they already do, plus he looks hot with makeup and lets Lucy and Kitty practice on him all the time

Tumblr’s Top Fandoms of 2020

https://ift.tt/37LLRPI

It’s been a weird and often devastating year, and our social media has reflected that. Tumblr has just released its top fandoms of 2020 and it’s fascinating to see how a year of pandemic and quarantine has affected transformative fandom and broader cultural trends. In a year when almost everyone spent a lot more time at home, Animal Crossing: New Horizons was the most blogged about topic on the social media platform, followed by animated dramedy Steven Universe, Belgian SKAM adaptation WtFOCK, K-pop supergroup BTS, and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. We talked to Tumblr’s Trend Expert Amanda Brennan about how she interpreted the biggest trends of the year, how this was a big year for animation and international media, and why 2020 was the year everyone stopped worrying about what was cool and just embraced what they love. But, first, some 2020 Tumblr statistics:

And, now, our chat with Brennan. (This Q&A has been edited for clarity and length.)

Den of Geek: I’ve heard you refer to the users as the Tumblr hive-mind or the orchid, whatever it is. I was just hoping you could generally talk about what the Tumblr hive-mind is to you? Which is the way of saying, who uses Tumblr generally? And how and why? If you can even extrapolate those things. Go!

Amanda Brennan: Most of our audiences is Gen Z; it’s at 48%. Our new user registration with Gen Z is even higher; I’m pretty sure it’s 60%. These are people who come to Tumblr because they love something so much they just want to share that love with people who love it as much as they do. I know that feels like a giant umbrella, but that’s the thing: Tumblr is what you make of it. If you love sports, sports Tumblr is intense hockey Tumblr, so good. If you love TV, you’ll have all of that. K-pop Tumblr, totally amazing. Furby Tumblr is off the hook and they make these incredible creations. I’ve recently gotten into Stained Glass Tumblr.

There’s layers upon layers. No matter what you love, there’s something on Tumblr for you. That’s both the easiest thing and the hardest thing about it. You have to go in being like, “Alright, I’m so into this thing, what does Tumblr have for me?” It’s not like the other social media networks, right? It’s really about what you love rather than who you know.

Yeah, I like that. I did want to ask you specifically about the process of how you track trends and how you make decisions about what to track?

We built the whole taxonomy that powers fandom metrics based on what Tumblr talks about. I’m a librarian, as you know, and I kind of reverse engineered it. My first year in review at Tumblr in 2013, they handed me a spreadsheet and they’re like, ‘OK, go to town.” So I was like, “Cool, let me pull out the threads that I see.” We really let the data tell us how to analyze it, if that makes sense. So when it comes to what we track, I have a running notebook that I’ve kept all year of the things that I’ve wanted to have in year in review.

The Witcher has been on my list since it came out. Animal Crossing has been another one. The Old Guard had a huge moment. I was just writing notes, like, “Oh, what is this thing? And we’ll keep an eye on it.” I have an amazing team. We all are into our own pieces of Tumblr. So we’ll all work together to just keep an eye on different fandoms. I don’t know if you know about Minecraft YouTuber fandom?

Yeah. I was actually listening to the latest Fansplaining last night and they mentioned it in that. I was just like, “OK, a new thing.” There’s always a new thing to learn about.

There’s always a new thing. That’s the beauty of Tumblr. It’s so fluid in fandom. You can go from one fandom to another and then you’ll see like, “Ooh, what is this thing?” I’ve got Supernatural on the brain, as who in the fandom doesn’t right now. [This interview was recorded on the day of the Supernatual series finale.] I was telling someone, the whole reason I got into Supernatural was because I saw a gif from the show on Tumblr and I was like, “What is happening? Let me go back and watch this entire series.” That’s the vibe of Tumblr, right? You see a thing and you’re like, “Oh, I need to know everything about that.”

Supernatural: The Internet’s Best Reactions to the Series Finale

By Kayti Burt

Hmm. Yeah, for sure. I was interested in talking to you or getting your insight into how trends you saw or data you saw that were maybe tied to the very unique experience of being in the middle of a pandemic.

Yeah. I was looking back at the predictions that I had made last year and like four of those things didn’t even come out. It was just so unexpected. There’s two things that we really saw tied to the pandemic. The first was “cottagecore” as an aesthetic. It kind of touched everything because it’s soothing, it feels comfortable. In March and April in the early days, when you didn’t know what to do, you’re stuck in a forest isolation. Cottagecore has got this vibe of chosen isolation. It was very fantasy-driven and something to reach out for.

That evolved also into nostalgia. I think this year’s really big theme is nostalgia and comfort. We saw huge returns to fandoms like Twilight and Avatar: The Last Airbender. Avatar going on Netflix was such a world-breaking moment. Not only did it introduce a new, younger fandom to the show, there’s a lot of Avatar content once you get into it, but it brought people back to a younger time in their lives. Remembering and rewatching. The Avatar fandom, as you see, it’s all over all of the lists. Zuko is number 20 on all of the things on Tumblr this year. Avatar was able to redefine people’s year. Because you know what, we’re all at home, I’m going to binge Avatar. Reignite my love for this fandom.

A lot of TV too, because TV is episodic, you get lost in it. Movies had a really rough year. When we look at the movies, movies like Megamind were trending this year. That comfort movie that you go back and watch 17 times.

Yeah. I was curious about that too. The balance or proportions between older fandoms and newer fandoms, like the Avatar example. I was curious how much that changed this year? How much you thought it was tied to the pandemic? How much is tied to accessibility and things, like Avatar coming to Netflix? Do you think that is an interest in older fandoms? Or that it’s going to continue past the pandemic?

Yeah. I think another high-level theme of this year is the rejection of cringe culture. I’m getting a little ahead of myself, but I’ll tie it all back in. I think people are realizing what their values are and not being afraid to admit that they like a thing. Not caring what other people think of the things they like. Unabashedly loving the things they love. That’s why I think we do see a resurgence in these older fandoms.

Because people who may have loved them their whole lives, or may have been nervous to share that they liked it when they were younger they’re not afraid anymore. They’re like, “You know what? Twilight, it’s not that great, but I love it. This is my emotional support vampire.” Recognizing that you can be critical of something. You can see where its flaws are, but you can still love it. That duality of fandom is something that is going to persist into next year. That freedom to just like a thing, because you like it. Be able to see its flaws, but still be like, “You know what? Overall, this brings me joy and the world is melting down.”

I’m on board with that mission, that plan for 2021. I did want to ask about the role of non-English language media, especially live action stuff. Generally because I was someone who fell into The Untamed this year, but I saw that there were two SKAM remakes as well that are on the top 10. In general, have you seen over your time at Tumblr, and maybe especially in the past few years, an increase in non-English language content? Do you think that is mostly English speakers and Americans being more open to that or being able to find it easier? Or do you think it’s also an influx of people from outside the United States coming to Tumblr? Or both?

Interesting. The data that we work with is actually stripped of all user information. I don’t really have an insight into where these people are coming from. I do think that users in general are more open to content in any language. Tumblr is more interested in characters than where the story comes from. Thinking about The Untamed, it’s just such a compelling story, it doesn’t matter if you have to read subtitles.

To parallel it to something in major pop culture, Parasite. People are becoming more open to just watching content because it’s good. SKAM is really fascinating to me because the number one live action show is wtFOCK. Then, I think two years ago, 2018, the original SKAM was number one at some point. This show really transcends language barriers. It transcends geographical barriers. At the core, the story of the teenagers is just so relatable to anyone. We’ve seen lots of translation happening and not just into English. Translation of SKAM into other languages, just because people want more of these characters and their iterations, no matter what locale they’re based in. I’m waiting for some professor to have a class on it, because it’s so fascinating to me.

I also wanted to ask about how you thought the election cycle affected Tumblr this year, if there were any trends or data that you were like, “Yes, of course this is what people were doing on Tumblr this year.”

Tumblr has always had this backbone of social justice. This year, it came out stronger and in more force. No matter what fandom you were in or interests, everyone I know on Tumblr was participating in sharing social justice stuff. Even politics, if they weren’t from the US, those kinds of memes that were like, “I feel for you”. The way that fandoms do. I see your show is ending and I’m sorry.

The one thing that Tumblr really had leading up to the election was such an appreciation for the postal service. Especially Gen Z, their world is so much larger due to digital connection. Mail order, just as well as sending letters and keeping in touch with your digital friends is just as important as keeping in touch with your IRL friends. All of the artists on Tumblr, so many of them turn to mail order to replace cons. This is their livelihood. By the time the fall hit and the postal service was having all these issues, people are ready to jump in. There were the Transformers dressed like mail people.

https://morethanmeetstheass.tumblr.com/post/626466946047705088/i-completely-forgot-to-post-this-guy-here-this-is

There were all these comments like “support your postal workers,” “support the USPS.” It really boils down to the fact that we are all connected and the mail service is something in the US that connects everyone. Even overseas. Supporting these artists whose livelihood went from IRL to online and having to deal with all of this.

And the “Super Putin Election.” The confluence of those elements. I was just surfing on my personal computer and I was on Tumblr and I saw a post being like “Destiel’s canon.” I’m like, “Excuse me?” I immediately texted my team. I was like, “Open up your work computers, let’s go.”

It’s time.

We all signed on trying to figure out what’s going on and watching the numbers. That, to me, is thrilling. I said this to someone else, but it felt like the night of The Dress. To have that moment where everyone on the internet is feeling the energy. The things that kept getting layered on top of it. Putin and Sherlock and all the anime mysteries. It was breakneck speed, and it was really thrilling just to be in that moment, and so Tumblr.

I did want to ask you about an increase in animated fandom and potentially anime fandom. A lot of these things I’m anecdotally or just observing things in my own little corner of the internet. It just seems like animation and anime, probably at least partially because Netflix has accumulated a much larger anime collection and seems to be investing in these sorts of things. Have you seen that increase? Could you talk about it, if so?

It plays into what we were talking about earlier, twofold. That nostalgia vibe, the late nineties anime vibe, that art style. Also your comfort zone and being open to more stuff just because it’s good. Not worrying about reading subtitles and stuff like that. But anime in general had a huge year. Haikyū!! ending also transposed into other fandoms because that moment of the final panels, it brings people together. People being so excited to see this massive thing come to a close. You might not be familiar with Haikyū!! in general, but you’ll see the fanart and be like, “Oh, I feel that.” It’s the emotion of it.

The popularity of Avatar did also open people’s doors to like, “Oh, well, what else can I watch? What else do I want to learn about”? Boku No Hero was consistently on our Week In Review every week. BEASTARS is another Netflix anime that’s at the top. Then Mo Dao Zu Shi, thinking about The Untamed, the story of Mo Dao Zu Shi is so fascinating. I don’t think I can name another piece of content that has that storyline. People are just ready to take it all on.

I did want to ask you, I think you’ve probably talked about some of these already, but what were some of the biggest fandom moments for you on Tumblr this year?

Oh boy. So many things going canon. Catradora was a huge, huge moment. I cried watching that. The Witcher, Jaskier, introducing this whole new world to Henry Cavill. I saw a post yesterday that was like once Superman was goth, a lot more people realize that he’s hot. Repurposing and looking at things in a new way. Among Us, so huge. There is a user who is doing a comic about White and Pink being in love. She’s giving them lore. She’s giving them backstory, personalities. It is amazing.

Unus Annus, I am not very into streamers, but I’ve caught some of those videos. When they had their final stream, I was tuning in. I was like, “Are you really going to delete the channel?” Then they did. Just watching the fans have that moment, even though I am not in that fandom, it was wonderful so meaningful.

Harry Potter being taken by the fans. Fans own Harry Potter now, and that’s what matters. The Old Guard also came out of nowhere and really blew Tumblr away. The Immortal Husbands. I love that ship. I’ve got to touch on almost all of the places, MCR, My Chemical Romance. Those fans have woken up and they didn’t get their tour, but they will. They’re not going to sleep until they do.

Because we maybe all have Supernatural on the brain, to a certain extent. I’m just curious how you think, that show’s been on for 15 years. The fandom has gone through literal generations. How do you think the fandom is going to change?

There’s always going to be a supernatural gif for everything. People will continue gifing it. It’s going to surpass what it is and it’s going to become that comfort show. This is a personal anecdote, but when I go to the dentist, every single time supernatural is on. It’s just like, “Oh, I get to watch my boys while I’m getting my teeth cleaned. That’s good.” It’s always going to be there. It’s always going to be there for people when they need it the most. We’re going to see a lot more fan creations. People love these boys, men now they’re adults. People love these characters. I haven’t watched this season. I am going to watch the finale tonight. I’m going in almost cold. I know that a lot of fan favorites have returned. My prediction for Supernatural fandom going forward is seeing these side stories come through in fanfiction even more than they already do. Lots more Charlie. That’s personal of mine because I love her.

I don’t think you’re alone in this.

Yeah. Who doesn’t love Charlie? Seeing these smaller characters come out and just shine in their own fan works, more so than the world might’ve provided them in canon.

It feels dangerous to make fandom predictions based on what happened this year, but if you have any predictions and or hopes for the coming year in terms of Tumblr and fandom?

Where we’re at now and going forward, it’s all about true authenticity. Screw what people think. We’re rejecting our old ways of thinking. We’re about flipping perspectives and forgetting what you thought was important in exchange for what you truly love. 2020 has helped us all figure out what our values at our core are. It’s about choosing something that makes you happy, that supports you, and your people. Choosing the happiness of those around you and making sure that you’re fighting for the goodness in life. Which sounds really sugar sweet, but one of the things, again, that I love about Tumblr is it is about putting people first based on the things they love. That’s what I see happening.

Another drawing from my Kalos AU with Juliett and Purrloin! Pictures taken moments before disaster/a fletchling getting attacked and Juliett losing her free ride :(

#pokemon #kalos au #purrloin #fletchling #mudsdale #juliett #oc #my ocs #I still love this au so much but I can’t draw too much of it because I always want to make good drawings for this #no ‘good enough’ drawings allowed every drawing has to be better than the last #or at least I try to do this #I even did some research for this! (‘Research’. Two google searches. But you know it’s more than I would usually do!) #Mainly to figure out what sort of Pokemon could be in Kalos at this time #Usually my rule is that if a Pokemon is available in the galar dex then it can also be in Kalos at this time? #Like with Mudsdale and Applin #But also if Mudsdale is originally from Alola (which I don’t think it is because like every where in the world has horses probably?) #Then could Mudsdale even already be established in Kalos at this time? You know that sort of stuff #I honestly think too much about this stuff. It doesn’t even matter! But I can’t change it :( #pokémon

Le Morte d’Arthur Thoughts P4

I’m halfway through book 2 before I finished book one of Les

Book 2

Chapter 1

Whence last we left off

‘without villainy or treachery’ is kinda hard but ‘or treason’ is kinda easy. It’s been at least 3 weeks since I last committed treason

Man, if only there was a knight who was virtuous and kind and hadn’t commit treason. Ulfus can’t draw it! he helped in killing whatsis face Igrains old husband

Chapter 2

Meseemith

‘give me the sword’

‘no you gotta fight me for it’

‘a plague on both your houses’

That joke is not thematically appropriate for this time but I'm here now so :/

He travelled not only by his own super coolness but also magic OwO

Chapter 3

Wtf Vivian

Yeah I forgot the name of my sword aha

Its Excalibur you dumbass

Oh yeah, well whatever you want I’ll give it to you…if I can

I want the head of the lady with the sword and the dude who took the sword – they killed my brother and father

Balin: :o

This was like a four-way treachery

Chapter 4

Can we please kill the swamp monster?

Lanceor is not to be confused with Lancelot

She is the falsest damsel that liveth ooooof

I'm confused. (I should start a counter for this really – confusion counter: 7)

Political intrigue novel about Balin and that whole shenanigan

Chapter 5

Merlin says all this stuff after it happened, bitch what good will that do?

Pokémon battle commence!

He was dead…like a corpse. That metaphor usage 22/10 y’know. Just wow

Chapter 6

What in the hell just happened in here on this day?

Oml they’re going to castle terrible!

You know I think only terrible things have happened there so really if either one or both die its their own fault

Chapter 7

Its been like 3 days since I last read this, I'm sorry but confused counter 8

Wait are we talking like real dwarf!?!!?? I'm confused. 9

This guy doesn’t even know these bodies and he’s super distressed and he’s pulling his hair out like boo surely, you’ve seen a dead body before unless dwarf means kid? But then who’s letting a kid ride about on his own?

I'm thinking too much about this I know but also that’s kinda my job as a literature student [insert sparkles]

He’s got a curse squared rn  

Balin curse count = 2

People to avoid list:

Hairless dwarves (possibly hairless children it is not clear),

the falsest damsel that liveth,

uncle joe from Charlie and the chocolate factory

this dwarf was really upset about this but now he’s kinda chill

the adventures of Sir Balan, Sir Balin and the Dwarf (that is possibly a child)

I blacked out now I have to read that again

King Mark has nothing better to do with his time, but I respect the man for making a tomb for these two people he didn’t even know

Its weird to know that’s what people did – no police just bury the body hope it doesn’t rise from the dead

Oh his wife has a name ‘Colombe’

Better love story than Romeo and Juliette (pls don’t come for my head)

Chapter 8

Oh thank god names I recognise – also one of them is Tristan and I was just talking about this dude with my friend (Hi Tyler)

Fighting on top of a grave is kinda disrespectful – also isn’t it a tomb? They’re going to be fighting on top of a tomb???

Merlin is a swamp man and he just defiled a grave! Why would you do that! This man has no respect – he can just die

Nah g he’s Lancelot of de lake bruv

‘What’s your name?’

‘Can’t tell you that. However, in a few years my friend – he’ll tell you and you’re going to get some very bad news’

Balin curse count = 3

Wait did he not only get cursed but get 3 whole kingdoms and another dude cursed? I feel bad for him at this point all he did was pull a sword from a shieth and what happened to the falsest damsel that liveth? She just doesn’t get any consequences???

Merlin left and then merlin left.

King Mark – the king who asks who you are and accepts non answers as the answer

Merlin is in disguise. He’s wearing these glasses.

They catch him out so fast.

‘what’s your name’

‘can’t tell you that - - but I know where you’re going.’

‘oh hi merlin’

This is so cursed.

Chapter 9

3 sentences dedicated to their horses. This is on par with the green knight’s whole “and he was green, his hair was green, his skin was green, his beard was green, his boots were green, his top was green, his trousers were green” so on and so forth  (except his eyes – they were red)

What, are they going to kidnap a king? :[

3 sentences dedicated to their horses – 4 words dedicated to how they beat the king. Tommy boy I'm disappointed.

Why cant merlin just stop being a bitch? Like he half tells people and then stops. Either tell someone in full or just don’t tell them!

You’re telling me that Emperor Nero is the brother of this rando king that came along, that Balin and Balan beat up????????

Chapter 10

Castle terrible!!!!

What is this prophesy? Merlin just appears and says

We’re working out how many pop tarts a horse weighs (the process = ‘horses are fat!’ = 20.31 x 500 = 347 pop tarts)

Nero and all his people were killed – that’s another war crime oof

Wait so Arthur and Lot are working together now? royal families and international politics confuse me

Friends who smite together are friends who stay together

Arthurs sister married Lot and Arthur had sex with his sister who was married to Lot and Lot married Arthur sister – the one that had sex with him.

That’s basically what that paragraph was

Wait…Lot died???? Oof

Gawain killed Pellinore and was made a knight like that???? Oof

#big dead arthur #castle terrible is back #Le Morte d'Arthur #king arthur #Arthurian Mythology #war crimes again #lots of death #and fighting #and fighting to the death #pop tarts #welcome back to me being confused #Merlin is a swamp monster #merling #pellinore #arthurian #arthuriana #arthur pendragon #arthurian literature #im running out of tags #books #Tyler is an e-boy

[insecateur]

An issue I always have when reading your or Jon’s fics is that I haven’t figured out which name belongs to which Pokémon. I know Juliette is Sycamore’s Garchomp, and I thought Pyrrhus was Lysandre’s Pyroar, but now I’m not so sure. Could you clarify a little ;u;

oh !! i have a whole post about lysandre's team actually, right here!

pyrrhus is lysandre's mienfoo/mienshao 🙇‍♂️ his pyroar is orléans. i try to clarify it when i write fic but sometimes i forget because i've become so used to it 😭 sorry... it's funny because i used to be reluctant to use headcanon nicknames in fic (i actually edited the first part of my mutual pining series to add references to the name orléans bc in the original version i never used it...) but now it just comes so naturally that i almost forget it's not canon, oop

#la réponse d #i used to feel embarrassed about all the lore n stuff i had around Them but i have grown free of cringe #juliette was actually the first one i used without feeling ridiculous LOL i guess bc she's sycamore's
