i wish learning was fun again :/
I’m so tired of the goddamn school system making me and everyone else forget that we actually like learning. Like, humans are curious!! Kids are extra curious!!! We love to learn new things! I watched nature documentaries for fun when I was younger!!! I devoured books! But our school system teaches kids that “learning” means crying your eyes out if you don’t memorize eighty things within two days and I hate it so much!!! You are literally ruining the brains of children and teaching them to hate learning!!!
i love her sm

i just like educating myself and others about cultures and topics such as this
If you’re a Non-Muslim and you see a Muslim praying in public, could you please not pass in front of them?
Go behind them, but not in front. 👍
i CANT with their gay asses
i just wanted you to know that your username is pure gold and now i’m wishing i thought of that lmaoo
ashkdksjaja thaaannnkks :)tbh I was upset cuz I wanted to be his left ass cheek but that was already taken D:
it’s so fucking obvious and precious how much they love eachother I just-
I know we as the audience can see the devotion and love Merlin and Arthur have for each other, but do you honestly think everyone else knew it to the extent we do like Gwen and the knights? Sure they knew they cared, but merlin and Arthur go beyond just caring.
I absolutely do. In fact, Merlin and Arthur’s mutual devotion and affection for each other is the driving force of A Servant of Two Masters because Morgana uses it as a weapon:
She even says that she won’t kill Merlin because that would be too easy and what exactly is worse than death for Merlin? Having him, of all people, be the one to murder Arthur and what’s more is that she says everything that makes him Merlin will be gone, which means she knows that his devotion to Arthur is a fundamental aspect of who he is as a person
On the flipside of that, Gwen sees Arthur become so agitated without Merlin
that she chases after him out of palace when he’s on his way to find Merlin again and sees just how indignant he is at even the possibility of not finding him
Furthermore, she already voiced Merlin’s affection for Arthur before Merlin could even vocalize it
Much like how Merlin’s mother vocalizes Arthur’s feelings for Merlin basically responding to Merlin’s constant “it’s not like that” with, bitch, are you dumb?
I’ve spoken about the importance of this scene in 3x08 before but to rehash, I find it telling
because Gwaine looks at Arthur indignant and exasperated at his lack of thank you and he looks to Merlin to share in his exasperation but all he sees is that goofy grin on Merlin’s face and, I know the quality is terrible so sorry about that, but Merlin really has this affectionate, soft, warm grin at Arthur even when he’s not being particularly gracious, Gwaine sees that and then smiles to himself because he can see how much Merlin loves Arthur.
Uther consistently tells Arthur that he too intense an attachment to Merlin
to the point, as I also mentioned before, that I actually found this scene really telling
because it’s clearly a personal/intimate moment between Merlin and Arthur? Like if it was just Arthur berating his servant then he wouldn’t feel embarrassed in front of Uther because that’s what princes to do to servants but it was clearly him having fun with Merlin, blurring lines with Merlin so he’s like ………………
The knights absolutely saw these reactions in their 4x02 reunion
Because peripheral vision! And I headcanon that they want to give Arthur the courtesy of pretending not to see just how much he cares for Merlin
and I mean…
I MEAN ….
Gaius knows why Merlin is muttering Arthur’s name (or has some idea) but Gwen doesn’t
and speaking of Gaius, he had to have seen throughout the seasons that Merlin saw Arthur as way more than a charge. Next to seeing the emotional toll that Arthur potentially dying had on Merlin
he confided in Gaius just how much Arthur not knowing that he has magic hurt him, not because he wanted credit, but because he wanted his full heart
and even when he complains about Arthur only seeing him as an idiot, I believe it’s clear that he wants the respect of a man he himself respects and it hurts him that he sometimes thinks he doesn’t have that respect.
Arthur leaves his men to sit next to Merlin and talk to him
I mean, even when everyone talks about how much they complain each other, it’s as if all they do is talk about how much they can’t stand each other and they bicker with each other around the others all the time like a screwball romantic comedy
but then they’re consistently risking their lives for one another and they’re always around each other — there are other servants in the palace and it’s been proven that Arthur can replace Merlin and it’s also been proven that Merlin can leave, neither do.
Plus, the Round Table
The two people next to Arthur are Gwen and Merlin and let’s think about that, let’s think about how on one side, there’s Gwen, the woman that Arthur loves, his future wife, the future Queen of Camelot, which is pretty much proven with this scene at this point, and on the other side is Merlin, how respected and loved and important and significant to Arthur must Merlin be to be seated next to him?
Everyone ABSOLUTELY knew.
oh,,, I do have a heart???this is so sweet what the heck
peter buys three sets of flowers on may 10th
first, he stops by the flower shop and gets a bouquet of lilies and roses. it’s early enough that there are still red roses left (thank god) and the shop owner takes his money with a smile.
“for your mom?” he asks, and peter nods.
he is happy, but a quiet happy. he smiles, thanks the man, and heads off.
he spends an hour at the cemetery hidden in the middle of queens.
the city is loud, but the cemetery has a sorta sanctuary feel to it, quiet and calm.
peter talks softly to a grave stone for a while. he addresses the two next to it for a little bit, but mostly talks to the one. he leaves the flowers in a vase, taking the dead ones that were there before.
he walks back into the flower shop only an hour and a half after the first time, and this time the shop owner is busy and doesn’t really acknowledge him, as he buys a bouquet of “alstroemerias and whatever would look good with them”.
the shop owner only realizes who it is and looks up to see peter get into a sleek black car, holding the flowers and grinning.
peter heads straight for peppers office when he gets to the tower, but with each step he looks more and more nervous.
her assistant, a nice lady named brenda who has her own little bouquet of flowers on her desk and looks a little too joyous for someone working on a sunday, alerts pepper that peter is there, and pepper ushers him into her office.
“what’s up, kid? can i help you with something?”
she sits behind her desk, and peter sits in one of the guest chairs. he is gripping the bouquet nervously, eyeing the bouquet already on her desk.
“i, uh...”
pepper waits with a smile as he finds his words.
“i got these for you.”
he holds them out, harshly, as if scared.
pepper hides her surprise, and thanks him quickly, taking them with a grin.
“they are beautiful.”
“just...”
peter looks at his lap.
“i know i’m not, like, your kid or anything. but tony, he, uh, he calls me his kid, and you’ve done so much for me, and i thought, i dunno i thought you would like them. just, as a thank you. for everything.”
pepper beams, and sniffs one
“they are gorgeous, peter. thank you so much.”
he stands to leave, and as he does pepper calls him back
“i consider you my kid, as well, peter.”
it’s peter’s turn to beam.
“tell your aunt i will be calling her soon about getting lunch in a couple days, yeah?”
peter nodded and fled the office, with a grin to brenda.
the same black car dropped him off in front of the store again once it was getting darker.
the shop owner could only hear “it’s fine, happy. no, don’t wait, my apartment is like two blocks. go home. see you tomorrow” before the car drove away and the kid came in.
“third time today, kid? how many mothers do you have?”
peter just smiled.
“do you have any orchids?”
the shop owner wraps the best ones he can find in the store, and shakes his head when peter tries to hand him the money.
when may would arrive home to their apartment an hour later, yawning from her work shift, she would walk in to see the sight of peter cooking while watching some crime television show, orchids on the counter in a vase.
she kisses his forehead once she sheds her coat, and peter quickly hugs her, tight.
“happy mother’s day, may.”
