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

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

I need people to rec me fics, I've read a few crack!fics about Merlin and Morgana in s3 that made me giggle, fics that fixed their friendship and made me feel warm and fuzzy. I need more of this! Or epic-length AUs, that'd work, too!

Camelot is so not my show. I'm not into hardcore sex scenes and it had a lot of those. IDK, I think I'm a prude. I loved the idea of Morgan, but seeing her use her body to get what she wanted...I'm not judging her or anything, I understand why she does what she does, but it's not something that I can fangirl, y'know?

OMG, Arthur/Morgana was SO EPIC on the show. And then the writers realized tons of people shipped it, instead of Arthur/Gwen, so they sabotaged it big-time and promoted their A/G ship, even though it was rushed and implausible and annoying as hell. Even Bradley said he wasn't that fond of the way it was handled, so there.

Thanks for the link! So prettyyy! I love her vids so much, the creativity is just stunning. ♥

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 into hardcore sex scenes and it had a lot of those.

Hmmm, is that why you don't want to watch The Borgias? That kinda has plenty of sex...

Morgan is pretty much the only redeeming factor of that show as far as I could see. Even then, the execution of her character seemed off sometimes. Using her body that way doesn't really bother me, but I totally get what you mean.

Re: Arthur/Morgana, I can understand why the writers would get worried, since obviously Arthur/Gwen is supposed to be endgame (kind of), but I hate it when they feel the need to trash one perfectly good ship just for the sake of forcing another one on the audience. Having that problem a bit on The Borgias right now; not the trashing, but the forcing definitely. Merlin is slightly more legitimized, since they're trying to follow at least some of the original mythology, but come on. Let a ship define itself - those are the best ones. And couldn't Arthur and Morgana have just remained close? I like it when characters have deep feelings for each other, even if their not romantic in nature. Strong loyalty can be just as appealing.
