That this the meed of all my toils might be...

Boy, am I glad that Coleridge is dead.

Because if he was not I would be forced to go down there and kill him.

And possibly borrow some laudanum.

I wish I was allowed the same ignorance!!! He's just a teeny bit worse than Mickiewicz. Honestly, I can't be BOTHERED with this opium-crazed lot. We should be allowed to get high as kites before this exam (AND HANDED FREE WEED AT THE DOOR), maybe then we would have scored a respectable percentage on it, godamn (actually, I was slightly stoned on my English Lit. exam last year and scored remarkably well!!!).

Yeah, it's tomorrow and I am shitting myself. I wanted to do Byron instead but his stuff is too long to thoroughly analyze in an hour, so I'm sticking with Coleridge, Keats (whom I actually like, but that's because he looks a lot like Colin Morgan/Merlin in my head, idek, maybe because he wrote about medieval stuff?) and Mary Robinson. I haven't done anything for Modernism yet (it's a Romanticism&Modernism three hour exam of utter doom) and I want to slash my wrists, pull my veins out and strangle myself with them or at least go and cry in some dark corner.

Also, I am overcome with a desire to write a Regency!AU with Merlin being some sort of semi-starving poet in a bit crazed style of William Blake (so he could even have magic then!) and all that and Arthur being an imperial soldier during the Napoleonic wars; because their uniforms? God help me, Bradley James was made for them; the red, embroidered jacket and those clinging bay trousers that would just emphasize those godly thighs and ass, oh sweet Lord. And the riding boots!!!
And of course Arthur would keep his jacket/or his trousers and boots (I don't careee!) on while ravishing Merlin (preferably in a stable?) and there would be loads of pining while Arthur was away in times of war and reunions burning like FIRE and oh GOD I WANT THIS.

SOMEONE STOP ME.

Worse than Mickiewicz? Okay, so I can imagine your frustration. ;)

Huh, yeah, I suppose I'd have the same feelings as you do about such exam if I were you, though actually I find Romanticism&Modernism (more the former to the latter) interesting. [But well, I guess everything is unless you have to pass three hour exam of utter doom about it. ;)]
*hugs*

God, I LOVE your AU ideas.
"God help me, Bradley James was made for them; the red, embroidered jacket and those clinging bay trousers that would just emphasize those godly thighs and ass, oh sweet Lord. And the riding boots!!!"
YES. And Merlin being sorta semi-starving poet. Good Lord.
YESYESYES.

I must say, I find it quite interesting too, it's just the exam I am scared of. Plus I really like Keats, he was of low-birth, pretty in an odd way, pissed of aristocracy and wrote loads of porn and unlike that snooty folk he had a hard life but had less self-pity than snobs like Byron (even though I really like Byron, especially his closet dramas).

AND THOSE AUS WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE. I MEAN LOOK AT THIS: http://beeej.livejournal.com/497186.html
BECAUSE MERLIN WOULD TOTALLY BE THIS KIND OF KEATSEAN POET AND HE'D WRITE DISTURBINGLY HOMOEROTIC ODES TO ARTHUR AND ARTHUR WOULD BE THIS FILTHY RICH LANDOWNER'S SON AND EXPECTED TO TAKE OVER HIS FATHER'S DUTIES BUT HE'D GO STIR-CRAZY IN THAT STUPID MANOR AND JOIN THE ARMY BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT ARTHUR WOULD DO RIGHT? AND HE'D BE THE PERFECT IMPERIAL SOLDIER AND ALL AND THERE COULD EVEN BE LANCE AS HIS BROTHER IN ARMS AND THEY'D HAVE THOSE SMOLDERING LOOKS LIKE IN 1X05 AND MERLIN WOULD FEEL INADEQUATE AND SICK WITH LOVE AND ARTHUR WOULD HAVE TO GO AND SHOW HIM THAT IT'S ONLY HIM THAT HE WANTS (WELL, NOT EXACTLY IN THE SAME WORDS BUT YOU GET MY MEANING) AND OMG. MY HEAD IS GONNA EXPLODE.

I know it sounds lame, but everything's gonna be all right - the fact you like at least couple of things about it will definitely help you pass this nightmare. :)

THEY SO WOULD. GOD THIS IS AN EPIC IDEA.
I WANT TO READ IT LIKE, NOW. I WON'T LET YOU FORGET ABOUT IT - LIKE I SAID, ONCE YOU'RE DONE WITH EXAM YOU JUST HAVE TO WRITE THIS. :D:D:D

[mossylawn]

I KNOW. I WANT TO WRITE IT RIGHT NOW!! but soon! soon! I have a feeling it's going to be epically long too

[mossylawn]

I know, right? It is SO VIVID in my mind. SO VIVID IT HURTS MY LADY PARTS.

THANKS :D
