For The Nightmare Queue - Tumblr Posts
If you've got an idea, just write it down. Too often, writers neglect their creative flow because they think their idea is not good enough. Stop it. Just write it down and see where it takes you.
Reblog if I can go on your page and write stupid things in your ask box whenever I'd like to.
NEVER forget when merlin was gone and arthur was pining and everyone was like oh shit oh god and thought the solution was to dress a random guy up like merlin and hope it would fix him
coming out too your parents be like:

I feel like bisexual men need more support. Bisexual men are not just gay men who don’t want to admit to being fully gay. If you are male and bisexual and you are reading this, you are important. Your sexuality is valid. You are a significant part of our community.
The act of making something new out of something beloved........divine actually
merlin au where merlin makes friendship bracelets for everyone he likes but plot twist he’s merlin and he likes everyone like come on he adopts ppl like 2 minutes into meeting them
like
obviously gwen has one - one of the first if not the first he made in camelot - yellow and purple
and gaius too but his is one merlin made when he was a kid - its really old so the colors are faded but its made of all the thread merlin could find and its kinda ugly but he loves it anyway cuz he’s a fucking sap
and then during some attack on camelot sir leon pulled him back because its his fucking job but merlins like <3 omg a new friend and leons like uhhhh but he never takes it off
lancelot leaves camelot with honor and a yellow bracelet and a new best friend <3
even the great dragon has one but its less of a bracelet and more of a ring
a bunch of the servants have one - almost everyone in the kitchen (they give merlin extra food so he’ll make one) the guards outside gaius’s door (which is lowkey why they never report the magic because they and merlin are besties)
morgana wears it with her ridiculously fine and expensive jewelry
sometimes visiting nobles leave with one
a bunch of shop owners have one
because merlin’s literally besties with everyone
but who doesn’t have one?
arthur
not because merlin doesn’t like him (though he’ll admit (only to himself) that perhaps he doesn’t want to be just friends with arthur) but because merlin simply doesn’t think he’d like one
on the other hand arthur’s seething with rage and jealously and when leon showed up with one arthur may have been a little more vicious in training
when one of the other knights gets one he gets vicious in training every training session since then
morgana knows and makes sure to flash her bracelet in front of his face
on the other hand merlin knows that arthur wouldnt like one but merlin still adores him so mayhaps he sews in a little pattern on the inside of arthur’s shirts that he’s mending where no one will notice but merlin will see him wear the shirt and think he’s wearing merlin’s friendship :)
yeah
A philosopher once asked, “Are we human because we gaze at the stars or do we gaze at the stars because we are human?” Pointless really. Do the stars gaze back? Now that’s a question.
STARDUST (2007)
let’s talk about the early stages of hyperfixation where you can literally feel your brain getting doses of serotonin because of a show or a movie or a person or a character and mentally you’re like ‘ooooh no’ but it’s like a blackhole you can’t run or escape from so you just gotta ride it out knowing full well the next few months are going to be spent mindlessly obsessing over this thing
its always "what are your plans for the future, you should really be planning for the future" and never "wow that character you're obsessed with sounds so cool can you explain them to me. im sure you get them more than anyone else"
Sword Illustrations by Ma-Ko (2018-21)
to be perfectly honest, my mood when it comes to fandom creations these days is basically:
I don't care if it's good. I don't care if it's finished. I don't care if it's cringe. I don't care if someone else did it first. I don't care if no one else cares at all. What I care about is whether or not I cackled with glee while making it.
Merlin's working on their camp while the knights trade stories.
Merlin is engrossed completely in his tasks, head down, scrubbing vigourously.
Percival is telling a story of a druidic god he once heard of. "He's said to be magic incarnate, hidden amoungst the humans, bearer of peace and justic for the new age."
"What's the god's name?" Elyan asks softly.
"Emrys." Percival answers.
"Yeah?" Merlin turns.
Everyone turns to face Merlin.
"Well? What did you want Percival? You said my name." Merlin responds impaitently, waving a horse's bridle.
He frowns, "I didn't say your name." A pause, everyone looks to one another, "I said Emrys."
Merlin pales, "Oh, I-er-maybe someone else, I must have, er actually now that you mention it I forgot to clean the er-clean the river, no I mean get water."
Merlin grabbed a few empty dishes and ran off.
"That was weird right?" Gwaine asks.
Lancelot shakes his head, "Best just leave him be."
"I never can figure out what is going through that idiot head of his," Arthur smiles.
I hope every writer who sees this writes LOADS the next few months. Like freetime opens up, no writers block, the ability to focus, etc etc you're able to write loads & make lots of progress <3
