Back at it with my enchanted merthur shenanigans

#when Merlin goes to work #(I am undecided on what he does but I think he does have a job (probably a librarian I’d that’s not TOO cliche…)) #he sets Arthur up with a bunch of history books and documentaries to try get him up to date (as much as he can) #and in the evenings they watch all Merlin’s favourite tv shows and movies #I can’t pick what kinds of movies Merlin and Arthur like #I get the feeling they both like pride and prejudice but I’m also biased #I think Arthur would like murder mysteries #ALSO If anyone’s got any fics where Merlin introduces Arthur to modern society please please PLEASE GIVE THEM TO ME #my art #bbc merlin #merlin #merlin emrys #arthur pendragon #merthur

Benjamin Zephaniah on why he turned down receiving a OBE (The "significance" of an OBE or a MBE is that it is rewarded to somebody by the monarchy to recognise how impactful ones work has been. the video and transcript explain why it would be traitorous to receive this when the themes surrounding Zephaniah's work were wholly and completely anti British empire and colonist)

"The OBE means "Officer of the Order of the British Empire", MBE stands for "Member of the British Empire".

I've been fighting against empire all my life. I've been fighting against slavery and colonalism all my life. I've been writing to connect with people, not to impress governments and monarchy. So how could I then go and accept an honour that puts the word empire on to my name? That would be hypocritical"

"No way Mr Blair, no way Mrs Queen. I am profoundly anti-empire." - A piece Benjamin Zephaniah wrote for the Guardian in regards to his rejection of an OBE.

Rest Well Mr Zephaniah

#vid #benjamin zephaniah #this guy means alot to me i revisited his work when i was making my documentary on the British empire #video #fuck i forgot i deleted the transcription anyways ive added it back!!!

something about childhood in succession.. the way it casts its shadow over the entire narrative, the rotten root of the roy siblings’s pain, all wrapped up in Logan’s power and abuse and love. The opening credits are filled with images of them as kids, beginning every. single. episode. by emphasizing the importance of their childhood: the siblings posing for a photo, playing sports, standing on a manicured lawn, riding an elephant, etc. and then the shots of logan, in which he is always shown from behind, or far away. It is a childhood the viewer never gets to see in any other context, since there are no flashbacks in the show, and therefore as integral as it seems, we know almost nothing about it. What exactly happened? What are the details? We feel its presence, we can tell how it informs their relationships, we can put together the pieces of incomplete and contradictory memories expressed through dialogue, and if we trace their struggles and dysfunction back far enough we know it leads there, to when they were kids. But there is so much empty space we can’t fill in. It’s almost like their childhood is presented in that horror technique where you never get to see the monster clearly straight on. It’s always in darkness, and chopped up into close-ups so that the viewer’s imagination is forced to invent something, however vague, and that is far scarier than it would be if we could actually see it — a monster that is terrifying BECAUSE it’s unknown. The roy siblings’s childhood is a major force behind so much that happens on screen, but what specifically occurred is out of the reach of our understanding. We are shown the monster’s shadow but not the monster, we are shown the frightened faces of the characters as they look at something behind the camera we never get to see, we are shown the running or the fighting or the blood but never the true, bigger-picture, clear details of the horror itself

#sorry succession as horror scratches an itch in my brain and the idea of their childhood makes my brain explode <333 #just!! even showing this shaky blurry footage of mundane childhood moments feels ominous to me— #it’s like. a documentary abt something awful that begins with #a ‘before’ montage of seemingly benign family life #and of course when the videos were taken they seemed meaningless. but now looking back at them we can see they mean so much #like the tragedy was woven into them right from the start #eeeeeeeeeee i need to be sedated i think #roy siblings #connor roy #kendall roy #roman roy #shiv roy #logan roy #succession #ruby (unfortunately) watches succession #succession as horror

love the idea of the Avengers adding new members but being stingy about rooms so the OG Avengers each get their own but Bucky and Loki are forced to share one under the guise of it being 'healthy interaction'

#Bucky and Loki being friends but in a weird way and now Thor is concerned like 'i don't recognise my brother anymore T-T' #and Steve is grimacing and sighing like 'my chemical romance isn't that bad Thor you just have to acquire the taste' #Bucky and Loki bunking in a room together and people just forgot to give them a second bed but it's ok because they both sleep on the floor #they wake each other up from nightmares and when it's done/conscious they look at each other in slight alarm and just give '👍❓❗' '👍👍❓' #aggressive thumbs up before returning to bed still communicating with thumbs up like 'all good??' 'all good??' 'all good!' 'go sleep?!?' #they both are convinced that oily hair is a way to keep it healthy and dandruff free and like they're not WRONG bc it works for them #but people also hate listening to them corroborate such experiences with each other #like you can't deny their hair is healthy and silky when they wash up and get dressed for something. BUT. STOP TALKING LIKE THAT. #they talk about how the bath they share is so comfortable for two people and it's driving people up a wall #Natasha opens the door and sees Bucky in the dark propped against a wall looking half dead with earphones in #(he is watching a nature documentary Loki recommended) #they bond over times they were being controlled and/or suicidal in Tony's lab and Tony who was working nods along absently long used to it #Tony: ah yeah I have PTSD but im managing it okay for now with meds #Bucky and Loki: *making faces* boo 👎

marc still collecting the toy valentino bikes when he was an adult and racing against vale is still so insane to me… that is not simply a child’s idolatry that is the current and active worship of a person that he both knew and was friends with at the time. marc hanging out with vale AT THE BAR. AT THE BEACH. AT HIS HOUSE. and still going down to the store every two weeks to pick a new one up. displaying it proudly on his shelf even after most of the posters of childhood sporting heroes his room have been taken down.

#do we think he was saving them as like. a reference to when he first met vale and gave him a model car. agony. #leah’s virgin sacrifice au was in fact a documentary. in many respects. #motogp #callie speaks #rosquez

not 2 be a clown but i really Do in my heart of hearts believe that destiel was supposed to go canon more explicitly with, if not full reciprocation from dean, then at least very obvious subtextual reciprocation. and that’s why everything is so messy in the last two eps. like i think about LAMP and that whole dance sequence and the subtext was THERE. dean’s aborted confession in the trap. dean questioning what’s real and the answer being ‘we are.’ it was all THERE and building. the confession, as much as we love it, was choppy as FUCK. it was badly edited, the shots are all over the place, extreme close-ups jumping to wide shots. the goddamn shove to the wrong wall. not good cinematography. and we know a lot of dean’s reactions were cut. we pretty much figured out the ‘don’t do this cas’ was supposed to come before the ‘i love you.’ we know cas was supposed to be in the last two eps. we Know he was meant to be in the finale. and i have Never bought the “jimmy” explanation for that either. i’m sorry but that does not make sense at all and it’s 100% in my opinion a lie they told to keep fans from being even more enraged abt cas being cut from the finale. like if he was never meant to actually be there then ok fine, sucks but ok. but if cas WAS meant to be there and they CUT HIM ??? RAGE !!!! like it makes no sense to bring back jimmy for the series finale even if they wanted to go the super tragic route like....noah fence to jimmy but who tf is thinking abt jimmy novak in 2020. and esp since cas was supposedly out of the empty and had ‘helped’ rebuild heaven....he’d literally be there !! people lie ok and they lied abt that jimmy ending lmao. esp after misha said there was ‘another ending’ where cas is in the roadhouse with dean and it’s in sam’s pov meaning years after dean died, meaning they’ve been in heaven together a long time at this point. anyways, my third eye is open and i’ve Seen the truth and i Know the real ending (which still would not have been great at all bc they’d be DEAD) involved dean and cas together at the roadhouse (i saw you funko pops) being no-so-subtextually flirty and sam showing up and kansas the band plays while deancas play footsies at the bar. but the see-double-yew killed it bc they suck and hate love. but i SAW it. i know it’s real. apollo prophecy ball hit me.

getting so fucked up listening to Kevin Perjurer talking to Adam Conover about how the Disney channel theme documentary was only supposed to be twenty minutes. How it was supposed to be a joke, the punchline being “it’s just four notes, it’s not that deep”. He was just gonna find the guy who did it and do a silly ironic interview, and then the story behind the theme unfolded and hit something true and meaningful.

#Defunctland #when a character is so powerful they completely change the narrative except it was real life with real human beings #I’m so happy to know the Disney channel theme documentary fucked up Kevin perjurer the same way it affected everyone else god bless

Gary Neville in BECKHAM

Gary was Mister Sensible. Did he talk a lot then? Gaz? Gaz always talked. And we very rarely listend to him.

#soft spoken shy gary is honestly a sweetheart #but him asking about david to reporters #him going 'we were down the right side me and him' when talking about david leaving #his horrible best man speech #'gary is the nervous one' #tucking his imaginary hair behind the ear #there is a suspicious amount of david beckham in my gary neville documentary #david beckham #gary neville #manchester united #beville

Something I think people don't touch on that often but could be interesting is the fact that Tighnari and Cyno have actually very similar jobs, but the game gives more attention to the "persecution" side of Cyno's, while Tighnari's is more about the "prevention" of harm (to both people and the environment). We know via 'A Short Encounter with a Rare Bird' that poaching exists in Sumeru, but while it's handled by a Corps of Thirty guard in that quest, irl Forest Ranger patrols are also countermeasures against poaching. It's an interesting parallel, and it would be cool to explore more in Collei's hangout, or see Cyno do stuff like 'Heizou Talks Fraud' (Cyno Talks Ethics/Blasphemy Against Teyvat's Laws?? Although he also kind of got Collei to do that in his SQ)

#I watched a tiger conservation documentary a couple days ago. #When I think about it there are a lot of fics where Tighnari's stressed over Cyno's action hero antics #Which is fair and the lecturing is very in character but it's also not like his job isn't also dangerous ToT #Anyway I like the theme of understanding etc. #genshin impact #tighnari #cyno

Cross-country season has started! Fifa!talia is out, FIS!talia is in!

Most of the athletes on the GBR team are Scottish and they all live in Norway most of the year. Norwegians have such a love for them and some of them even speak Norwegian fluently. Two years ago, they lost funding from the UK government and it looked like they would have to quit skiing all-together. Then, rich Norwegians began sponsoring them and now they are training with a private Norwegian team and funded by Norwegians 💖

#hetalia #aph norway #aph scotland #hws norway #hw scotland #scotnor #🥺🥺🥺 I love them so much #FIS!talia #can't wait for the World Championship in Trondheim 2025!!! #I'm going to volunteer for it and am putting “nation host” as my first choice #I am such a fan of cross-country it's my everything #I love sports ok? #but especially cross-country #there's def some AU potential there as well #a swedish athlete got frostbite on his private parts racing in Finland this weekend #just thought you all should know #also I think it's amazing that norwegian people are so passionate about the GBR team #they even had a fund-raiser to raise money for them when they were cut off by their own country #and private Norwegian people just sponsoring them full-time??? What a support!! #They even got a documentary mini-series on NRK
