Being On Tumblr Is Like Being In A Car In A Parking Lot

i’m still waiting for someone to write this fic

Look, I don’t care what kind of time-travel/timeline-crossover fuckery is involved, but picture if you will, S5 Merlin “Carrying the Entirety of Camelot On These Shoulders” Ambrosius meeting S1 Arthur “Hope This Doesn’t Awaken Anything In Me” Pendragon.

Arthur: Do you know how to walk on your knees?

Merlin, straightening to full height, squared up: Do you?

Arthur: Uhh….

Arthur, internally: Top me, top me, top me, top me, top me-

Words from The Invention of Love by Tom Stoppard

Is there rly any softer scene than when o'malley sees duchess and falls in love with her at first sight in the aristocats, complimenting her at every turn and climbing into a cherry blossom tree to make the flower petals snow gracefully down on her? How dreamy 🥀💕

shiro: i’m back

adam: hey, how were the school tours?

shiro: cool. i met this little grumpy orphan kid, his name’s keith

adam: …bring him home

shiro: what

adam: he’s our son now

when i say i’m from ukraine, people assume i live somewhere else now. when i say i live in ukraine, they assume i’m somehow immune to war, and there’s a logical division between a ukrainian they chat with on discord and a ukrainian on the news. bitches my yaoi is written from the bomb shelter

what are your CHILDHOOD nostalgia songs. like shit ur parents played in the car when u were super young that became an integral part of ur existence

To everyone going “oh no! Adam thinks Shiro’s probably dead”

Are you ACTUALLY trying to tell me that Sam Holt, after kissing his wife and explaining where their children are, did not PROMPTLY run to the Garrison to be like “oooohhhhh shit you nerds are not gonna believe this”, and NOT stop by Adam’s office?

You don’t think he crashed in there like:

“HeyHEYhey guess who’s alive bitch?! ME! But also your man! He’s leading a rebellion with your adopted son, got a sick ass robot arm and oh…Adam, oh boy…. *deep inhale* he be looking fiiiiiiiine~”

“Oh! Oh… actually…We broke up”

“Well you’re gonna un-fuck that when you see his bobbies”

He is Leng Jun and his paintings are considered the most realistic ones in the world. See why:

“A clever plan..because if Harry here and his friend Ron hadn’t discovered this book, why–Ginny Weasley might have taken all the blame. No one would ever have been able to prove she hadn’t acted of her own free will…and imagine…what might have happened then…The Weasleys are one of our most prominent pure-blood families. Imagine the effect on Arthur Weasley and his Muggle Protection Act, if his own daughter was discovered attacking and killing Muggle-borns…”

It brings me SO MUCH joy that the plot of Chamber of Secrets basically happens because Lucius is terrified out of his mind of Arthur and Molly Weasley and their SEVeN kids who were all raised to hold the line in case anyone tried to start a genocidal regime again. They are so powerful and so dangerous to any attempted rise to power from the Death Eaters, and Lucius feels the need to try and marginalize and demonize them in order to decrease the threat they pose.

And boy was he right to be concerned, they are…unstoppable. Each and every one of them. You thought it was impressive that it took five Death Eaters to kill their uncles? Try having a couple Weasleys illegally on the airwaves, one destroying Voldemort’s Horcruxes, one protesting at Hogwarts, one running loose in the government, one housing escaped prisoners, and one getting foreign support!! More children than they can afford? Try more children than you can effectively stop!!

And then when they ALL show up to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts? What a trip for Lucius Malfoy! Hey bigots! Would you like to pick an opponent based on which Quidditch position they excel at, or do you wanna roll the dice and go with one of the brothers who got 12 OWLs? Those are your only two options because Weasleys are EVERYWHERE and the weak link is NO ONE. The fear that must have been in his heart when one or two of them was around every corner of the school taking down his DE pals…is so amazing to think about. Glorious. Iconic. Every Weasley has red hair, freckles, and a drive to destroy the concept of blood purity at all cost!!

The Weasleys are not always nice or right, but they are GOOD and they believe in standing up for what is good, and when evil is around they SHOW UP to fight it. No questions asked. And evil is so scared of them, so worried about what they can do, that it resorts to desperately weaponizing a little girl to try and stop them.

I feel like this happens often with music and arts. People only listens to the cute, romantic songs, or don't actually pay attention to the lyrics and the actual message, which is imo kinda disrespectful to the author.

"How sad it's that people suffers, but maybe they'll be happy even in adversity", but that's the thing. They! Shouldn't! Be! Suffering! And in the arts that can reflect at these tragic, lovely stories; but it's on us to actually think those over critically. Every story that gets told gets told for a reason. So, please, if you have the time, try to choose a random song you like and think about it. I promise it'll be worth it.

🙃 Regular reminder that while Hozier has amazing love songs, he is ALSO very outspoken about his leftist politics, specifically anti-fascism, anti-racism, reproductive rights, Palestinian rights and more.

Take Me To Church and Foreigner’s God are scathing critiques of organized religion, specifically the Catholic Church and the colonization of Ireland.

Moment’s Silence is about oral sex but it’s ALSO about how that specific sexual act is often distorted to a show of power rather than that of love.

Nina Cried Power is an homage to various (mostly Black) civil rights activists from the US and Ireland and a call to follow their path.

Be criticizes anti-migrant policies and Trump and his ilk.

Jackboot Jump is about the global wave of fascism and about protest and resistance.

Swan Upon Leda is about reproductive rights and the violent colonial oppression of Ireland and Palestine.

Eat Your Young is about the ruinous way the 1%/capitalism and arms dealers prioritize short-term profit over everything else to the detriment of the youth/99%

Butchered Tongue is about Irish and other indigenous languages being suppressed and erased by imperial powers.

If any of the above surprised you, please, please delve deeper into Hozier’s music, you’re missing such an important part of his work.
