You ever have the experience where reading a fic jars loose a memory you had totally forgotten?
I'm reading one in which one of the mutually besotted but also unavailable characters starts to say to the other "I would leave my spouse for you," and am suddenly transported 25 years back in time, sitting in the department lounge with a classmate, an hour deep into one of many conversations about storytelling, practical kindness, how to be a good artist and a good human. And my classmate said, laughing but not joking, "You are the only person I would leave my spouse for." And I said "Bite your tongue, what on earth did I ever do that made you think it was okay to say that to me?," feeling a weird mixture of horror and anticipatory grief about not being able to talk unguardedly anymore about important stuff with someone I admired and respected, now that I had more information about what our conversations were like for them.
And, like, reading the fic, I simultaneously feel the perspective of the person who's offering to leave, because that's whose shoulder the narrative is sitting on, and I also feel this other thing still embedded in my body that I call Please do not blow up your life for me, and I also know at this point what it's like to lose an important relationship because your partner fell in love with someone else.

I love speedpaints so much
Or not even just speed paints
I'm so enamored by people doing things they like that I could stare at it like it was oxygen
Like you're just writting
Well I would love to just sit there and watch you do it :3
Oh you're doing art
Well holy shit may I please watch
You never have to even talk to me or acknowledge me
Sitting in silence with someone is sometimes so beautiful and peaceful and doesn't need to filled with words that don't matter

All this talk about diluc and his birthday reminded me of a fic I read recently where he confessed to the reader at the windblume festival but I forgot who wrote it and now I can’t find it again😭 I‘ve let the diluc stans down
Aw, that's so cute 🥺 it is the time of year to tell people how you feel (he would make it an important occasion)

Alcohol tips for newbie writers (or non drinkers!):
At bars, people who order “chasers” after their shots are ordering something to wash down the taste of their shot with. This can be juice, soda, more alcohol, or even pickle juice
Hard liquor is generally sold in stores as shots (tiny bottles), fifths, liters, and handles or in ml (50, 100, 200 etc)
Most people can’t finish an entire fifth of hard liquor (vodka, etc) on their own without being very ill
Conversely, many people can finish an entire bottle of wine on their own without being ill
Liquor can be “bottom shelf” or “rail” or “well” -- all synonyms for the cheapest version of alcohol a bartender has. Bars generally keep several “levels” of alcohol stocked
You order a drink with the alcohol first, then the mix -- e.g., a “vodka soda” or a “Tito’s and tonic”
When you “close out a tab”, you pay for all of the drinks you’ve had that night. Either the bartender already has your card (you “opened a tab” earlier) or it was quiet enough that they just kept an eye on you and tallied your bill up at the end
“Doubles” are drinks or shots with double the standard pour of alcohol
In the US, most shots (pours) are 1.5 oz by default. 
Mixed drinks (gin and tonic, vodka lemonade, cosmos, etc) are generally made up of 1-2 shots and a mixer 
If you don’t specify which type of alcohol you’d like in a mixed drink (vodka cranberry, for example) the bartender will put whatever the “house” liquor is -- and this depends entirely on the establishment. A dive bar will pour rail by default, whereas a nicer tavern might make all vodka cranberries with Tito’s
PLEASE TIP YOUR BARTENDERS THEY WILL REMEMBER YOU I PROMISE

writing is so amazing in the way we just invent things as they go, its all pure imagination, everything is "this happens because i think of it" no matter how unrealistic it is, we are creators of worlds, of people, of everything we think of,
just because we can

While Merlin is trending I want to thank the whole Merlin fandom
people who have been with us since 2008 and people who have just started watching, people who have left us too soon but will be forever in our hearts and people who switched fandoms but are still amazing
whereter you create, lurk, cheer or just cry in the corner (most of us have been there lol) every part of the Merlin fandom is always part of our family
Tumblr media
even if we have no reason to trend we will always have a reason to celebrate :D
