This is going to be a very random post 🤣 but I was looking at Merlin on the History of Magic window again recently and I noticed... Merlin has 6 fingers on his right hand!

So... Merlin has polydactyly??

Fun fact, apparently, in Hungarian mythology, people being born with additional fingers or bones are called Táltos and were thought to be chosen and have strong supernatural powers. Although Táltos are more like Seers (gets divination power through contact with the Underworld) and I think they can also manipulate the weather (?).

Anyway, just something fun to speculate on!

Forever wishing there would have been a seasonal gimmick where someone from Merlin’s past comes to Camelot and spills some tea.

Like, just some rando comes by and drops the wildest lore that not even the audience knows to the knights super casually and leaves.

I.e.

Will (if he had lived): I’m glad Merlin found a place here. I thought for sure he’d end up banished again (: Arthur: He got banished from Ealdor? Will: What? No. Camelot wasn't Hunith’s first choice. Merlin just kept pissing people off in other kingdoms so she had to send him to Gaius because nobody else had a chance of controlling him. Arthur: Are you-? Actually, no. This tracks.

Or

Random Girl: Hi, I'm looking for my brother? He lives in the palace, I think. Elyan: And who might your brother be? Random Girl: Oh, sorry. I'm Ganieda! Merlin's sister. Gwaine: No fucking way

I'm just saying, there is no way Merlin stayed out of trouble his entire childhood. Consider:

Some Guy: Is Merlin here? Leon: You're not related to him, are you? Some Guy: No, I cannot say I am. Years ago we had a brief tryst while on an adventure together before parting ways. I heard he was in Camelot so I thought- Arthur: He's not here. Some Guy: Oh, but- Arthur: He actually died yesterday and, completely unrelated, I'm going to have to banish you. Goodbye. Don't return.

Matching hats for a friend and her husband! I'm really happy with how they turned out, and hopefully my friend likes them too!

every time I see someone online posting their knitting a little grandma who lives in my head wakes up and goes, "now what do you have there?", "Oh look at that, isn't that beautiful?", "now how on earth did you do that?", "well that's just absolutely gorgeous"

what they don't tell you is that creating objects with fiber crafts is like magic.

not only in that you create a 3D object out of a line and cleverly placed knots and weaves.

but also in the way that you will at one point look at something you made and realise countless people have probably done something similar to what you are doing now, even if you aren't following a recipe. a basket is a basket is a basket, and humans have been using fiber crafts for ages to make them. out there, at some point in time probably created a lopsided basket just like the one you made, and smiled at it in joy.

that connection. that's the real magic.

Ok so we have all seen those posts talking about Bruce looking at his kids and still seeing them as his precious babies even though they are towering muscular adults right?

Well I raise you clark seeing them the same way but through step dad vision. Cause honestly he didn't come into Bruce's life until a bit later and by then he already had Robin by their first meeting. Of course Bruce didn't trust clark to even be in his city let alone around his kid but any chance he was in Gotham for any reason Dick was asking to use him as a "super jungle gym" and was dangling off his limbs.

Now don't get clark wrong he likes kids! But kids actually make him nervous. Not only did he grow up on a farm pretty isolated in a small town that didn't have many people so not like he was a baby sitter. But also...batman makes him nervous and for good reason to.

But the closer he got to him the more he was allowed around the kids especially (depending on what universe your shoving these characters into but this is my version) after he saved Jason from getting killed by the joker and he batman started to trust him a lot more. Jason was in awe but is definitely a wonder women fan. Which is fine because Clark is also a fan of hers and have written many articles about her as a hero. Jason always found a way at any gala or event to fallow clark around and pretend to also be a journalist and ask people questions. But he did them way more accusing and got several people to whisper. Bruce was amused but also just tired of his kids wanting to be around clark. The man was a goody two shoes.

When Steph comes around and eventually Barbara and even Cassie they ask a LOT of questions and not the kind of ones like Tim (who upon their first meeting tore off his glasses and asked him why he uses them as a disguise when it doesn't even work) *note they work very well at disguising him Tim just doesn't understand how other people just CANNOT see superman when looking at him*

Duke had to be the most tamed out of every. Single. One. Of Bruce's kids. He was polite and even shook his hand. He was expecting questions or insults of some sort but when none came he was shocked to say the least. He didn't sleep for days afterwards.

The next and last was Damian who after years of experience with Bruce's kids he believed he was ready....he was in fact not ready. Damian not only insulted him, threatened, and snuck into his apartment to "scope out the enemies territory" really he was in trouble and didn't like Bruce grounding him so he went over there to pick a fight.

In all reality dealing with thr kids for so long ended him and Bruce becoming closer and closer and eventually getting together and tying the knot. Now that they are all grown adults he just CANNOT see them as such.

Damin at the ripe age of 22: Die alien!!

Clark *holding back tears*: you used to say that when you were 13

The batkids *arguing*

Clark *Looking at them. Just to see a bunch of teenagers and children*: you see it to right?

Bruce *taking a sip from his mug*: it never changed

True love's kiss au

Arthur thinks he's going mad. He's been enchanted over a dozen times with love spells and what not, but he KNOWS there hasn't been an available counter spell.

It's not just that there isn't a sorcerer to cast the counter spells, there aren't any spells in the first place!!!!

Except for one: true love's kiss.

And by true love's kiss it means that someone loves Arthur so much that their kiss saves him every single time. It's driving Arthur insane, as he searches and searches for this person.

Meanwhile, Merlin doesn't even know Arthur's been enchanted, he just kisses Arthur's forhead whenever he tugs him in.

Every fic where Uther assumes Merlin and Arthur are fucking:

[bellalunadreams]

I find it kind of stupid how 'half full' vs 'half empty' is framed as an optimist/pessimist thing. If it starts full and gets halfway drained, it's half empty. If it starts empty and gets halfway filled, it's half full. If you don't know the starting state it's both simultaneously.
