i think ghost would be a great roommate in terms of he keeps his shit clean and you two hardly ever speak to each other. it's basically like living alone except somebody is paying a portion of the rent- the one downside is for somebody so fuckign massive he's insanely soft footed so something you'll get a midnight snack and nearly shit yourself when this brick house of a man goes "can't sleep?" from right fucking behind you (he does it on purpose he thinks its funny)

tommy did a spectacular thing on friday. he put on a live show for 2000 of us, making all of us laugh even when we were collectively grieving. and at the very end of the show, was the dedication to technoblade. it got the loudest cheer of the night and it was a shared moment of grief and love for someone all of us lost. it was truly an incredible moment.

#a lot of us were crying #genuinely so proud of what tommy pulled off tbh #the liveshow was fantastic #tommyinnit #tommyinnit live show #technoblade #tj talks

do you think merlin is immortal because of the prophecy or because he was always meant to be immortal? like even if he and arthur brought magic back, he’d still be immortal but just not be waiting on arthur

ooooh what a fun question

personally i think he’s immortal because of the prophecy, like his fate is so interwoven with arthur’s that when arthur’s life force is placed in limbo so is his. so if arthur had survived then there would have been no trigger for merlin’s immortality

this is mostly bc i don’t think he’s immortal the whole way through the show, i think that’s a condition that comes into him when arthur ends up in this sort of immortal state of his own, dead but with the condition of his return, so sustained until then

they are two sides of the same coin, a similar state but different ways of existing within it. arthur is dead but his life force is existing immortally to return while merlin is alive and existing immortally to receive that return

long way of saying i do think it’s the prophecy not just merlin

RËN HOW ARE YOUUUU

My favourite child!!! Hello!!!!!

I am doing quite okay. I've had some health problems that I'm still trying to solve (migraines aren't fun). I quit my train driving job (mostly because of the migraines because I can't operate any train if I have neurological issues yay).

I'm gonna start studying graphic design in March. 🐸

I am in a happy relationship and I love my boyfriend very much. ❤️

I recently started reading Loki fanfics on AO3 (going back to my roots🫡)

And I am currently obsessed with Stardew Valley. More like addicted actually....

So yeah, I am doing quite okay. Things aren't perfect, but my life and mental health are definitely improving.

I hope you're doing good! How have you been?

Eddie who mows lawns in the summer

Eddie who mows your parents lawn in the summer.

you’re home from collage and ask who that man is outside in the yard. You can’t help but ogle at him. The sun beating down on his body, it was so hot that he eventually takes off his shirt because he is drenched with sweat.

You can’t help but feel bad and offer him a beer. Maybe you come out in your bathing suite because maybe you’re going to hang out by your pool. So maybe you invite him back to the pool to cool off… or maybe you have other intentions.

“You look like you could cool down, you’re more than welcome to take a dip.”

“You saying I look hot, sweetheart?”

“Yes.”

Hey! I'm interested in the Reaper Smiles Upon You WIP 👀

hi!! this fic is literally the blood in my veins and the air in my lungs rn!! i eat, sleep, and breathe this fic LMAO

it's a silverv long multi-chap that i've just recently started actually writing, but have been kicking the idea around and working on the outline ever since i played phantom liberty. it's set after the tower ending, where a streetkid v remains in night city working for mama welles at the el coyote cojo, trying her hardest to survive without johnny... until reed contacts her, informing her of his going rogue from the fia due to finding out that the nusa sold johnny's biochip back to the last remaining arasaka cell still working on the relic project.

that's all i'll say without spoiling major plot points! it's angsty as all hell, especially in the v-centric chapters early on, i include a lot of her chronic physical and mental health issues that are illusioned to in the tower ending and indulge some of my own headcanons. johnny eventually gets a body, and then it's a lot of push and pull with the two, their blurred time apart causing old habits and emotions to resurface (and even more new ones to surface). lots of hurt/comfort. oh and panam!!! and rogue! and kerry! and milton nauman! and reed and so mi! and mama welles and pepe!

oh and it includes lore from the rpg. i'm just having a really fun time with it and it's very special to me and i can't wait to post it (but alas, drafts and editing...)

a little sneak peak of the first chapter under the cut for those interested <3

V longed for the nightmares that caused her to shoot up in bed, stumble to the shower for a cold wake-up call, find an odd relief in the adrenaline coursing through her veins.

Now, it was as if all the life had been siphoned out of her, slowly depleting until not a drop remained. Her eyes opened, tear-stained and blurry. The expectation never stopped, for him to shift into focus, share a camaraderie as she calmed; never words, just the comfort of the other's presence.

The late-afternoon light peered in through the windows causing her vision to stutter, and she curled in on herself, hugging her knees to her chest. All that remained now was a dull ache, strong as the day he was ripped from her, yet unsharpened and unyielding.

Even if the drive to wake up fists-drawn remained, her body didn’t allow it. The first few minutes of waking up were usually the worst, as her vision glitched and nausea washed over her. Her body twitched and heat like embers shot up her limbs. It had been manageable, she’d grown accustomed to it.

Today was different though, and V narrowly avoided choking on her own blood as she coughed it up on the floor beside her bed. She brought a finger up to wipe her lip, examining the smear of blood that remained.

Okay, it’s me, the person rereading OAFK to find where Arthur falls in love with Merlin.  This is very long because I may have gotten a bit carried away.  I’m so sorry, but I wanted to cover all the bases (and then just got really into it because I love this fic).  Although I want confirmation if I’m right, you don’t have to publicly post this or anything, because, once again, this is long and you may not want people to know.

So, I think Arthur’s feelings start when he meets Merlin, which may sound so soon and may be very wrong.  But in chapter one, when they meet for the second time, there are several lines that I feel like radiate the idea of “I have a slight instant crush on this guy, but I’d never know for multiple reasons.  First thing is their banter about the dungeons (honestly, love that part, it’s so cute/funny).  Then there’s the paragraph about Arthur having fun, which I feel screams “instant attraction.”

Arthur blinks, unable to stop himself from smiling.  A thrill runs through him like a surging wave, starting at his toes and ending in the tips of his fingers.  Excitement.  He finally identifies what is so entertaining about Merlin, why he feels this pull to torment him, this desire to goad him into action.  For the first time in years Arthur is having fun.

Arthur, as a character, just isn’t the type of find interest in things that are the same thing he deals with every day.  There’s literally an example of that at the beginning of that scene where he’s like “yeah, let me figure out where I’m supposed to respond because I am so bored right now.” I think the excitement Merlin brings immediately forms a sense of attraction to him (which makes sense because in real life, we tend to be attracted to the people we desire to have in our lives).  In canon, he starts showing attraction to Gwen when she speaks against him (not like Merlin does, but a variation, you know?), which fits into the idea that Arthur wants excitement in his life and he wants people who will create it.  I think half of this doesn’t make sense, but it’s important to have for my next thing.

Going back to OAFK; in chapter two, Arthur thinks about how he doesn’t know if he wants Merlin to change and become a proper servant.  While that’s explicitly said, you go into why he feels like that.  He finds Merlin entertaining and like no one else he’s ever met before, and that Merlin’s rudeness enthralls Arthur.  However, he’s like “yeah, but he’s also infuriating.” I feel like this goes into Arthur not really having someone speak out against him (or friends), so he’s unable to properly navigate how he feels about this.  This back and forth on who he wants Merlin to be is realistic and I very much love it.  Also, yes, he could just see Merlin in a platonic light at this point (anything is possible), but I just think about the scene where Arthur trusts Merlin about Valiant.  Yeah, that’s a canon scene, but it adds to later where it’s like “An odd part of Arthur warms at the sight of Merlin’s slight smile.” Arthur has feelings for Merlin, even if they’re platonic or romantic.  They’re strong, but he’s just a bit unaware.

Now, to where I think he falls in love with Merlin.  This could be too soon, but the amount of passages from it that just make sense he loves Merlin is in The Poisoned Chalice.  I have like 20 highlighted areas that I feel like capture that Arthur loves Merlin.  I will obviously not share all of them because that’s a lot.  The first line is, “a man who understands that Arthur needs Merlin around.  Merlin matters to him.” I adore this line so much, like I think about it a lot because it captures to me how much Arthur’s feeling have grown over the last bit (I don’t remember your timeline off the top of my head, sorry) they’ve known each other.  I am a big believer in that Arthur feels fear, but it’s not exhibited the same way nor is it easy for him to feel it because of how he was raised, but oh my God, the moment where it’s like “He can hear his heartbeat in his ears, feel it in his throat, he’s never felt fear like this,” just hit so hard.  The amount of love and care he has for Merlin makes his situation terrify him. (Also, that entire paragraph containing that sentence and the paragraph above just capture Arthur so well.)

So, this could be debated like slightly of it’s in Arthur’s character, but I’m not entirely sure.  The line “They both hear the words that go unspoken.  If it were just my life, I would risk it in a heartbeat.” Some could say that that’s just how Arthur is.  (Him thinking about how he wishes he could feed everyone and guarantee their safety in The Moment of Truth.) In this situation, I feel like it being Merlin has a big part in this (Also, in The Moment of Truth of why Arthur goes to begin with).

So, to wrap this up before it gets to be over 1,000 words, Arthur starts liking Merlin the second time they meet (or the realization he doesn’t understand is there), but he starts (realizes but doesn't realize?) he loves Merlin in The Poisoned Chalice.

I’m so sorry for how long this is and that parts may not be coherent.  I do want to say that I love this fic and it’s always a pleasure to reread it.

OAFK SPOILERS AHEAD
