Merlin/Arthur in sync
for @meteorjamโ
Thanks for adding me @my-ambivert-self !
1. I'm left handed.
2. I had written two small books of short stories when I was 9, which I threw away at 11 because at that time I thought it was more cringey than cute.
3. Christmas is my absolute favorite thing in the world, and coincidentally (I swear it's a coincidence) my favorite colors are green and red.
Thanks for the tag, @pluttskutt!
Rules: 3 random facts about yourself, then tag 7 people.
1. My favorite color is red, but I prefer to decorate with red.
2. My favorite movie series is Star Wars.
3. Iโm currently trying to step out of the ML fandom. (Kinda difficult when my popular fics over at @starrosefics is Miraculous Ladybug.)
Iโll tag, with no pressure, @techieninja18, @theballetslippertheblackhoodie, @atomic-insomnia, @the-writing-fandom, @yeetus1feetus, @just-a-little-bit-of-sugar, and @cream-and-tea.

one good thing about december on this hellsite is that this gif will be making its rounds again
bell hooks spoke about her disdain for the phrase โiโve fallen in loveโ and calls for its change to โiโve chosen loveโ, โi am lovingโ, โi am loveโ and my heart has softened since i read those words.
gosh but like we spent hundreds of years looking up at the stars and wondering โis there anybody out thereโ and hoping and guessing and imagining
because we as a species were so lonely and we wanted friends so bad, we wanted to meet other species and we wanted to talk to them and we wanted to learn from them and to stop being the only people in the universe
and we started realizing that things were maybe not going so good for usโ we got scared that we were going to blow each other up, we got scared that we were going to break our planet permanently, we got scared that in a hundred years we were all going to be dead and gone and even if there were other people out there, weโd never get to meet them
and then
we built robots?
and we gave them names and we gave them brains made out of silicon and we pretended they were people and we told them hey you wanna go exploring, and of course they did, because we had made them in our own image
and maybe in a hundred years we wonโt be around any more, maybe yeah the planet will be a mess and weโll all be dead, and if other people come from the stars we wonโt be around to meet them and say hi! how are you! weโre people, too! youโre not alone any more!, maybe weโll be gone
but we built robots, who have beat-up hulls and metal brains, and who have names; and if the other people come and say, who were these people? what were they like?
the robots can say, when they made us, they called us discovery; they called us curiosity; they called us explorer; they called us spirit. they must have thought that was important.
and they told us to tell you hello.
