Gwen: Just be yourself!

Arthur: Be myself? Guinevere, I have one day to win over Merlin's mother. How long did it take before you guys started liking me?

Leon: Couple of weeks.

Merlin: Six months.

Gwaine: Jury's still out.

Arthur: See, Gwen? 'Be myself', what kind of rubbish advice is that?

[aetherdecember]

Arthur: Can you keep a secret?

Merlin: How much do you actually know about my life?

Arthur:

Arthur: Good point.

I have been waiting a long time for this.

*deep breath*

You know the shirts you can get with Vader’s chest plate?

Dad Anakin wearing that shirt.

i was gonna say that's a great idea then i remembered his vader outfit is essentially a black recolour of his clone wars s1-2 outfit with a cape so like…

The question is, how did he get the cardinal to come land there so that he could sit in festively-colored whimsy? Sunflower seeds?

I don't have the words for this but. Art and science are always hand in hand.

The perfectionism of artists has them researching stuff in a way that only scientists can compare. Some artists become experts in biology or anatomy. Other special interests have them going down rabbit holes to make them better at their art.

Disney animators said "we are perfecting the code for this snow if it kills us" and researched and invented code until it acted like real snow in Frozen and snow scientists were like hey. Did we just fucking solve the Dyatlov Pass mystery. And the animators answered no. We made snow. YOU applied the knowledge and did the experiments to solve what could have happened at Dyatlov Pass.

And it was a team effort because of course it was. You can't have art without science. And you can't have science without art.

It wasn't meant to be.

Druid: if you wish to save Camelot, you must bring a blood sacrifice.

Arthur: I will offer myself

Druid: no. You misunderstand. This goddess knows your heart. She has no interest in an honorable, untainted heart. She feasts on betrayal and broken trust. What you must sacrifice is the one thing that is most precious to you.

Arthur: *pales* what?

Arthur: *turns to a distracted Merlin*

Arthur: I can't! Not him, I -

Druid: *pitifully*. All Knights are so eager to sacrifice themselves. Is it truly honorable? What makes your life worth living, is offering that not a true sign of nobility?

Arthur: I'd rather die along with all of Camelot

Druid: I know. It's why you've doomed us all

Bonus:

Like, a week later.

Merlin: hey, bitch goddess. You told Arthur to do what now? *Squares up*

Goddess: you foolish druid, you brought Emrys here??????!!!!!

i was rly bummed out and then i saw this picture and im cured now

[aetherdecember]

me: *opens document to write* brain: let’s rethink the entire plot instead

[aetherdecember]

“you’re a writer, can you explain your process?” yes. first, i panic. then i procrastinate. then, in a fit of productivity at 3 a.m., i create chaos.

one of my favourite linguistic phenomena/in-jokes is spanish potato chips being “ham-flavored, probably”

[aetherdecember]

Have some cats. :D My favorite class: The Nekomancer

Camelot noble: Your majesty, your manservant is a threat to -

Arthur: Merlin?? A threat?? Of course not. Look at him, he's adorable.

Merlin, standing behind Arthur, covered in blood, holding a knife, having just killed his 7th assassin of the week (it's Monday): Yeah, I'm adorable.

I want an episode that's basically Merlin and Arthur facing the usual, magical threat of the week, but they have to keep it a Secret from everyone (like with Uther's ghost).

So, Arthur carries the torches and the weapons and Merlin does the research on whatever magical creature it is and is, although he tries to do everything on his own, forced to show Arthur the results.

Arthur: it can only be killed with magic?

Merlin: I'm afraid so. There is this spell -

Arthur: but... Can we even use that?

Merlin: *hesitantly* I mean, If we do the pronounciation right?

Arthur: ... Alright, I'll do it.

...

Merlin ends up doing it in the end.

Arthur: holy shit, it worked!!!! *So excited he hugs Merlin*

Merlin: *trembling because he's still lying about his magic but also, Arthur saw him use magic and isn't mad*

A week later, Arthur puts an old cold case on the table: we have work to do

Merlin: oh no

So basically, the ghost hunter au we were teased with but never got.

If Anakin and Obi-Wan both turned to the Dark Side, that would actually be really interesting. Thing is, I get why Anakin would turn, but why would Obi-Wan “Only the weak embrace [the Dark Side]” Kenobi turn?

idk i can think of at least ONE reason he'd go darkside...

You started a scam religion for a quick buck. You begin to panic when your fake god was actually a real forgotten one awakened from new worshippers, declared you it's high priest, and granted you the power of healing.
