I’ve been meaning to post this for a while, just for one reason or another, haven’t gotten to it before now! So without further ado, in no particular order, the Things That Have Made Me Happy Recently list:

Real life.
1) MY FATHER’S GONE FOR A WEEK, WOOHOO! He’s off on a business trip to the Middle East, flitting from Dubai to Abu Dhabi to other

I haven't watched Madoka, but I've heard enough about it that I'm intrigued. Maybe I'll get around to watching it this summer. The vid was very pretty. :) As always, I love that song.

I hear Merlin has a tendency to break people's hearts.

Cool, I hope you do and that you like it. ^_^ I adore that vid so much, and I'm a person who sometimes gets sucked into things if I see pretty fanvids, so I was hoping it might work on others, hehe. If it's a well-made vid to F+tM, well, I figure someone's gotta bite! She has the most EPIC SONGS, I can't even. she made me not hate/semi-tolerate/almost like Twilight, omg, so insidious

YES. Don't watch Merlin. Unless you can tolerate the hero supporting and looking after a tyrant who kills innocent people. And condemn the people trying to take him down and kill them and be all judgmental about it. UGH.

Don't even get me started on the ships on this show either. *head!splodes*

Also, your icon is so pretty! I keep thinking it's Florence- OMG, I just looked at your userpics and it IS her! But it didn't seem like something she'd be doing? Is that from a music vid or meeting random fans or what? I thought it was all old-fashioned and like from The Borgias or something, lol!

Lol well-done fanvids can be really stunning, I have a few favs that I love watching just because they're so pretty. :) Florence + the Machine is particularly amazing, her lyrics are so beautiful and applicable to so many situations. I don't think even she can make Twilight much more tolerable for me though, even if it is a pretty badass song

Yeah, I've really avoided Merlin. Well, I've read some fun fanfic. But otherwise I stick to other shows. Unfortunately, Camelot was pretty disappointing as well. :( Lol and shipping, always the point of contention! I have no particular reason for this, but I was always inclined towards Arthur/Morgana for Merlin. That I heard how butchered it got S2 did not make me more inclined to watching...

I cannot even tell you how much I love this icon. x) It's actually from behind the scenes of her video shoot for Rabbit Heart. The vid's pretty gorgeous, scenery and costume-wise. :)

OMG, I don't know how I lived prior to hearing F+tM, I adore songs that have universal appeal and applicability and can mean different things to so many different people and be so intimate and meaningful across a variety of personalities and situations. That's such a gift, to be able to reach people like that.

Haha, I will refrain from linking you to those Twilight vids, then, because OMG, I was the hugest anti back in the day and now I'm more indulgent of the series. *facepalm* Because of the power of Cosmic Love! There's this theory where you can't hold two opposing views/emotions at the same time- so there I was, watching the vid, filled with SO MUCH LOVE for the song and DISDAAAAIIIIN for Bella and Edward, and the song love won out and thus, my hatred was diminished. It's not that I was weak, it's science, okay?! :P

[afigureofspeech]

F+tM gave me a new appreciation of music. Seriously my favorite artist pretty much ever. ♥

Lol more power to you. I have developed such an aversion to Twilight I don't think I could even watch videos of it. :(

I will rec you some fics! Well, none of them are epic, and they don't really have much to do with Merlin or fixing his and Morgana's relationship, but here they are:

- A Green Knight In Prince Arthur's Court, Or: Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks At Them (the Green Knight shows up in Camelot and turns everyone of the male persuasion absolutely stupid, so Morgana and Gwen have to save the day; ridiculously funny and of pretty decent length)

-Indistinguishable From Magic (in which Morgana is secretly a Time Lord; makes me laugh every time)

- The Cost of a Smile (I have no idea how I found this fic, but it's Morgana/Gwaine - with some Morgana/Arthur thrown in for good measure - and also pretty amusing)

And that pretty much sums up the extent of my Merlin fic experience. I hope you like them. :)

Camelot is so not my show. I'm not
