Think about it.

W - A trope which you are virtually certain to hate in any fandom.

Apart from obviously problematic shit like sex while one of them is drunk or underage stuff the two things i dislike most are mentor/student relationships (or anything where the power-balance is clearly off) and people writing sex-scenes while having zero understanding of anatomy and how sex in general works. Like you can be the most asexual virgin out there (and there are ace virgins who write terrific porn), everybody can do some research (and i’m not talking about low-quality free porn) srsly if i see one more person write about a dry bareback fucking i am going to fucking scream (looking at you brokeback mountain) 

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

Sherlock, definitely. like i get that people want their ships to be canon but harassing or stalking actors and writers is so not cool. also i will never get over that one time some white straight girl said j*hnlock-shippers were a minority and that she was being discriminated against.I’m beginning to loathe the Black Sails fandom as well bc some people there are fucking crazy 

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

Hartwin. age gaps like that make me really uncomfortable and also the whole father-figure thing makes shipping them really fucking weird to me. but i say ship and let ship. as long as the issues are acknowledged there’s nothing wrong with shipping smth, it’s only fiction after all.

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

Merlin’s favourite “classic” movie is Cube. He insists that anyone that works in the pit -- handlers, tech, r&d -- sees the movie at least once (even organizing movie nights as needed for the new hires). And people learn very fast to keep their less than positive comments about it to themselves if they don’t want to be stuck listening to a two hour lecture on why it’s the best sci-fi/horror film ever made.

Eggsy has always been a very light sleeper, so before Kingsman there was no need for an alarm clock. But after being appointed a knight, he finds that he sleeps like the dead -- at least when he’s home and not on a mission. So he had to figure out what kind of alarm he woke up to best. After trying everything from old school beeping to gentle waves, he’s found that the best way for him to wake up is to the song We Are Young playing on his phone.

CINNAMON = You’re a really cool person and I admire you from afar.

i’m really really not ; ; but i appreciate the sentiment. 

So these turned into a little ficlet because I find it easier to get into their heads this way.

Merlin + Shopping

The worst about shopping is the people. Much like public transportation, it brings out the worst in them. The impatience, the rudeness. Stopping by the shop for groceries is an unwanted necessity but the tea doesn’t buy itself and if he doesn’t get his tea in the morning, there’ll be some impatience and rudeness. Shopping for clothes is thankfully taken care of by the agency once he had finally made them order his jumpers directly from Gretna Green (he does insist on buying his own underpants, thank you, because that’s just weird). The worst, though, is shopping for presents. People and stores and Christmas. It’s a living hell. Yes, he could order online or send someone out but Eggsy insists they buy their respective gifts in store. Like normal people. Normal people who pay with black credit cards and who comes with their very own cab. Really, shopping his the worst.

Harry + Sports       

3. A pairing you used to love, but it all fell apart for you.

Hmmmm, the last one I can remember is John/Sherlock. I mean I still ship it, but I’m totally not into the fandom anymore and I’m not really interested in reading any fics either. I mean I am mostly in the Kingsman fandom, but I do read fics of my “old” otps still, but not for this one.

12.  Your most scandalous headcanon for your current OTP(s)/OT3(s)/OTX(s)

Okay so I am taking scandalous as a sex thing so here goes for Harry/Merlin/Eggsy/Ginger. So one thing I would really like to read is Ginger the dom with her three subs in a very very loving relationship. And probably Eggsy being a bit of a switch because he does enjoy acting for Ginger when she cannot be there with them.

17.  Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go (prompts optional but encouraged)

So back when we didn’t know Merlin’s real name yet, I get into talking with @liprouvaire about how trans Merlin would be super interesting to write and also it would make sense that he “doesn’t have” a name. He would probably have been in the process of changing his name when he became Merlin and it just stuck with him and it was totally who he was.

And just him pining after Harry for so long because what if Harry is not into him? But when he confesses Harry doesn’t understand why he wouldn’t be into Merlin because Harry’s gay and Merlin’s one of the most handsome man he’s ever met???
