some might say we will find a brighter day
#1 - IN WHICH THERE IS A CONFESSION. When I started seeing the name Britomart around, I thought it was some sort of British convenience store or supermarket, and I thought, "Oh, maybe they are writing a crackfic AU! Perhaps a 'Clerks' fusion!"
Okay. I get it now.
#2 - IN WHICH I AM PERHAPS BEYOND HELP. So I was replying my way through a backlog of comments and I felt guilty for ignoring them for this long, but then I check the date on them and it's only been 5 days. It felt like longer. Going on the internet is like spending your time in an enchanted otherworld where you can shape things to your will and magical things happen everywhere, but then you go back to the real world (so-called) and find out that nothing's changed since you last left. Time in the other world is not like time in this world, and it's like all that stuff in the other world amounts to nothing here. But no, that can't be true, you tell yourself that can't be true.
So I guess that makes Aslan the dormitory's internet connection, because he is sometimes great and sometimes painful.
oh god i can't turn narnia off

mariana_oconnor. Oh my god, you guys, this fic <33. Modern AU in which Merlin runs away on a road trip after Will's death, and is haunted anyway. Sort of.
#5 - This week's 'Merlin'!
You know how in the beginning, fandom was like, "Oh, Gaius/Uther is kind of like Merlin/Arthur." And then people fell away from this idea because Gaius and Uther are obviously crazier and creepier than their respective son figures. But the parallel pops up again this episode. The way Merlin would do anything to save Arthur, Gaius seems to have the same attachment to Uther, 'cos okay: how many times in the past has Gaius said "No, Merlin, you can't save your friends with magic!"? But now he is all for saving UTHER with magic! Uther, who won't appreciate it enough to spare Merlin's life! Merlin's all about saving the world with his magic, so whether he doesn't notice Gaius's double standard or just doesn't care, I don't know.
Do you think we'll ever see a Gaius-centric episode? Why does Gaius do the things he does? Why would he risk Merlin for Uther but not for Arthur? What is the big love story between Gaius and Uther? They obviously care for each other? Why is Gaius so spooked? Why does he think keeping secrets is always the best way? Why is he so used to secrets and to trickery and lies? Does Gaius tell himself he's being practical, but also suspects that he is a coward? Is he tormented by the past or has he made peace with it? Gaiussssssssss \o/
#6 - I still have to finish that 'seven days of joy' meme, and maybe post thoughts about 'Lucifer', but this post is kinda long already, so let's end it on a note of IN WHICH OASIS IS NOT QUITE DEAD. I recently downloaded their complete discography in a fit of nostalgia and oh maaaaannnnnn <33 <3 <333. There is nothing quite like the beloved crap music of your childhood and the assholes that sing it. I really like this YouTube playlist of an acoustic show that Noel Gallagher and Gem Archer did in Paris in 2006.
#6a - Tell me I'm not the only one who's ever wanted Liam Gallagher/Damon Albarn fic.
#6b - TELL ME LIAM GALLAGHER WILL FOLLOW THROUGH ON THESE RUMORS TO COLLABORATE WITH JAY-Z. WHAT. \o/
Okay. I get it now.
