I’m thinking of writing a fic about Arthur actually running away to live with merlin on a farm, including

-small house in a big forest

-arthur learning how to farm, actually enjoying it but not wanting to let merlin know

-having to hide from Camelot patrols

-gwen is the only one who knows where they are, but can’t visit because she knows morgana or uther would have her followed

-nightmares in daylight, reminders of an old life, swords underneath the bed and spell books in the closet

-arthur naming the chickens and trying to ride a sheep

-arguing about who’s turn it is do the washing up

-trying to forget why they live alone in the forest and knowing exactly what would happen if they went back

-day long treks to the closest village

-peals of laughter that deer cock their heads at, the smell of soup filling the kitchen with a rich, salty warmth, fire dancing in the grate, merlin constantly humming

-a fire breathing cat

-indecision–is it worth going back??

-druids

-arthur watching merlin slide effortlessly into this life, wondering how the fool he’s known for so long is now teaching him how to survive

-magic, magic everywhere

-bursts of happiness, the smell of wood burning, bright glints in dark hair, weak autumn light, love, warm skin, glowing stars

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in reading it if I put it out there?

While I think it’s great seeing all the excitement and press coverage about India legalizing gay sex, I think it’s really important to remember that this is NOT India progressing due to Western influence. This is India decolonizing.

The homophobic statute that was overturned is a product of British colonialism in India. Prior to that, India had a rich and vibrant queer community that played important functions in society. There were queer Hindu gods and hijras serve as an example of how queerness in society was venerated. This is not something to patronize India over and congratulate ourselves in the West for. This is a victory for India reclaiming their culture.

ENDLESS ELECTRICITY: Here’s A Way Of Turning America’s Roads Into Gigantic Solar Panels

There are about 31,251 square miles of roads, parking lots, driveways, playgrounds, bike paths, and sidewalks in the lower 48 states. If Julie and Scott Brusaw have their way, they will all someday be replaced with solar panels.

For the better part of a decade, the Idaho couple has been working on prototyping an industrial-strength panel that could withstand the weight of even the largest trucks. They now appear to have cracked the formula, developing a specially textured glass coating for the panels that can not only bear tremendous loads but also support standard tire traction.

By their reckoning, at peak installation their panelized roads could produce more than three times the electricity consumed in the U.S.

The material could power electric vehicles through a receiver plate mounted beneath the vehicle and a transmitter plate is installed in the road.
