never been more convinced tomgreg isn’t happening never been more convinced tomgreg IS happening this episode is insane

I URGENTLY need a tomgreg edit to Ex-Factor by Lauyrn Hill and/or Bags by Clairo and/or Graceless by The National, can anyone help a gal out?

thinking about ‘i figured out to be faithless’ and ‘is there a powder to erase this’ and ‘you can’t imagine how I hate this’ and it’s making me sick

oh god

bbc's merlin was literally thee most show of all time they gave us a black actress playing guinevere, one of the greatest queerbaits of our time, katie mcgrath (sword), katie mcgrath (evil), blatant disregard for any sort of historical accuracy, a queer metaphor they publicly said "didn't mean anything", and then at the end they fucking killed king arthur. truly legendary.

and it ended, in that way, on CHRISTMAS EVE

i hate you fanon i hate you characters flattened into generic archetypes i hate you exaggerated quirks that unthinkingly perpetuate harmful stereotypes i hate you woobification i hate you manic pixie dreamgirlification i hate you himbofication please for the love of god i am so fucking tired

*watches a fictional man bloody, bruised, beaten, and dying* ahh yes the female gaze

ohhh I’m OBSESSED obsessed

fandom wide mandate that everyone has to re-watch the source material in steady intervals to minimize intense fandomization of tropes and characterizations that happens when people go without new source material for too long

who are they....shipping them with???

If he's your man then why is he MY thematic parallel

There is one particular ship dynamic that never fails to wreck me, and I’ll call it Soulmates, But Not Like That. Not in a “some higher power has decided that we are destined to be together” way, but something that is almost the opposite of that. It’s that character who has been alone for a long time, and has maybe convinced themselves that they will be alone forever, and who has a lot of barriers to intimacy with most of the people around them, for whatever the relevant narrative reasons are. And then they just happen to cross paths with this ONE FUCKING PERSON who works for them, through some very specific combination of personality and circumstance and life experience and mutually compatible damage. And there is always the shock of what are the fucking odds, and underneath everything the terror of what if this doesn’t last. what if there’s no one else. I would just go back to being alone. I don’t know if I could do that after knowing this. Because when you finally let down that wall of emotional self-sufficiency the thought of having to put it back up again is painful. And in real life I don’t at all believe that there is only One Designated Person for anyone, but in fiction I do tend to gravitate toward characters who believe themselves to be The Only One in some way, and I will always be emotionally compromised by that dawning sense of oh. You are like me.
