• Things and stuff
  
  
  • Warm slippers (um, pantoffels, preferably closed ones, not what we call slippers in Dutch) for inside during winter! Feel free to get me funny or cute ones (or not if you don't want to xD). I'm a size 36 in shoes, if that's relevant.
    
    
  • Warm pyjamas for winter. I love flanel pyjama's, for instance, or other warm materials. :) Size S, please.
    
    
  • Coasters (for your glass)! I have a few already, but I'm going to need some more. :D
    
    
  • I also need trivets! (This is apparently what you call that thing you put under a hot pot or pan... who knew.)
    
    
  • Cute placemats! (Basically, I need onderleggers of all kinds. xD) I'm currently using a cute Winnie the Pooh one, but it's discolouring, booh. As with the above, both single ones or a set are welcome.
    
    
  • Mugs: Alice in Wonderland mug, Mad Hatter mug, Zootropolis mug, Monsters, Inc. mug (don't buy it on ebay, it's ridic expensive, but I couldn't find it online in the Disney store ;__;. If you encounter it somewhere...)
    
    
  • A decent quality knife to cut vegetables with.

⁽¹⁾These are totally in a particular order. However, they're the books I most want to read on my to-read list, so any one of them will make me happy. Here's^(1b) the rest of my to-read list, if you need more choice. :)
^(1b)I've forgotten my password, so I'm going to assume that link works for everyone rather than log out and test it. Positive thinking, that's the spirit.
⁽²⁾These are actually in no particular order. Though someone had better get me Mad Max. xD

PS: I don't mind secondhand stuff! Or which book/dvd version you get me (except for Uprooted, because I don't like the other cover xD).
PPS: I'll probably add stuff over the weekend, but I don't want to wait that long.

( Merlin 5x12.Collapse )

As glad as I am that I won't be spending Christmas Eve on my own, I'm also really sad that it means I won't be around to watch the last ever ep together with everyone else. For one, I am pretty sure I'm going to spend the entirety of Christmas thinking about Merlin and wondering how it ended (over-invested, who, me?), but most of all, I wish I was around to catch fandom's reaction and share hugs and whatnot, especially with it being the last ep. But I probably won't see it till the evening of the 26th. :/

But! I will take the occasion to already wish those who celebrate the loveliest of Christmases, and a wonderful week to everyone else. ♥

Have a *hug* in advance for all possible Merlin-induced feelings (or other more important concerns you might have, really). And, you know:

Watching some of my favourite Merlin scenes before I end up crying over the finale. Listing them here for future reference, although they're pretty random and it's far from an exhaustive list. Please feel free to share some of your favourites, too, if you're up for it - I want to remember the good times. :D

"Merlin, meet George!"


Because it's the ep that proves that Merlin really is a rather terrible servant, and still Arthur would have no other, even though he doesn't even know about all the things Merlin does for him. Because polishing is Merlin's favourite, too (and Arthur is aware of this, by the looks of things). Because all three actors nail this scene and it never fails to crack me up.

( My gooold.Collapse )

Unrelatedly (though I may need it after watching the finale), I've been obsessively replaying Let your heart hold fast by Fort Atlantis. It was featured in the latest HYMIM ep, and it somehow strikes me as such a winter song and as a message of hope in dark times. ♥

While the original version kind of creeps me out, I've seen a lot of people use this cover in association with Teen Wolf.

But right now everything is Merlin and askdsdk, in a world where magic users = wolves, and Arthur is Riding Hood in his Pendragon red cape, this is such a perfect A/M song, about Merlin getting helplessly drawn in by Arthur (because let's face it, he went from annoyed to devoted and kind of crushing on Arthur in the space of about one ep) and walking by his side and protecting him from all the other "wolves" he keeps attracting for some reason, while hiding his own identity and trying to convince Arthur not all magic users are bad.



Gonna keep my sheep suit on,
Till I'm sure that you've been shown
I can be trusted walking with you alone

Little Red Riding Hood,
I'd like to hold you if I could,
But you might think I'm a big bad wolf
So I won't

What a big heart I have
The better to love you with
Little Red Riding Hood,
Even bad wolves can be good

I try to keep satisfied
Just to walk close by your side
Maybe you'll see things my way
Before we get to grandma's place...

;_;

(Yes, this is random. I don't care. I need something to cheer me up for the upcoming finale. :D)

Are there any Red Riding Hood inspired stories I've missed?
