"Have the indignities of your childhood not yet sufficiently been avenged?"

This damn quote from the teaser... I'm waiting on bated breath to know the rest of it. Mostly because when you hold onto anger over something others are unaware of, that can fester into something beyond your control until even you can't fathom your own reasons. At the time, yes, they made sense. As you get older, your resolve to defend your reasons weakens because time has picked away at your anger and life gave you more to worry about and be angry over.

Ask anyone who was wronged when they were under the age of 25, they fucking remember everything. It might not influence my actions, but it sure as hell serves as a reason for why I act the way I do. I can also acknowledge that if given the opportunity back then, I would have reacted in an unpleasant way. Now, I couldn't care less, but I'm still very aware of the "indignities" of my childhood.

Someone on Tiktok commented "It's getting harder to defend Aemond" and my immediate thought (and this is a personal one, not one that's a reflection of Aemond fans as a whole) is that I truthfully do not defend him. Luke's death? Yeah, hated that. Aemond's satisfaction after Rhaenys and Aegon? Yeah, SUPER dark. I don't defend Aemond. The part that I'm hung up on is that most, if not all, of these character developments could have been easily avoided, and as viewers, we clearly see where everything went wrong. I could scream at my TV for hours because of this.

Aemond's psychology is fascinating, and Ewan Mitchell openly said that Aemond has gone from morally gray to complete darkness. Daemon is the same - the only difference is the side they chose to stay loyal to, and ultimately, they're more loyal to themselves than anything else. The point of a morally gray character is that they're lawful neutrals - their mindset would not change regardless of the side they're on. The difference here is that now we wait to see if the gray characters finally lose any sense of a moral compass and omit reason.

I love morally gray characters and villains because they have a logical reason for basically anything, and it makes it difficult to argue. The man can be considered a full-blown villain now. I don't defend him, but I sure as hell haven't lost any reasons for him to be my favorite character.

Man what the fuck is davide reading 

[fearandhatred]

haha have you thought about the fact that decades or centuries from now when we're all dead and gone people could still possibly be thinking about good omens and writing about crowley and aziraphale living their lives in that time. doing exactly what we're doing now. and maybe they'll write about crowley and aziraphale living through the historical events we've lived through. have you thought about the fact that crowley and aziraphale will live on long after we're all gone

Hope this makes sense

As a neurodivergent person I find that once someone explains an emotion they feel towards me it’s becomes easier to explain my own emotions towards them because it gives me words I didn’t have before to explain a feeling I didn’t understand yet (hope this adds context)

You know, something something Arthur desperately wanted to see the good in magic at any opportunity he was given.

When Gwen was first accused, when he first met Morgause, when he wanted to save Uther using magic, when he saved the woman from being burnt in that small village, when he was given a choice by the Disir, when he was determined to save Gwen from Morgana's dark magic...

(Honourable mentions include when he saved Mordred and argued with Uther about the Druids being peaceful (they are magic adjacent after all) - and well, given the second honourable mention being his remorse for the raid on the Druid camp when he was young, it's understandable that it comes from some sort of trauma. And of course, the result of that remorse was the promise that he would do everything to prevent it ever happening again, and that he would treat the Druids with respect. Hell, even with Kara he was respectful, even though she committed actual literal treason in the form of an attempted assassination of Camelot's king)

Of course, at every opportunity, Arthur's view that there is good in magic, that not all sorcerers are evil, that perhaps his father was wrong, or that his father had lied, ends up being proven wrong, at least in his eyes.

Time and time again Arthur is shown to consider magic as a more neutral force, like almost as if he's desperate for it to be true. It isn't even necessarily his fault that the opinions about magic and sorcerers that Uther taught him becomes reinforced once again.

The fact that he can even think critically about magic at all is a miracle alone. Like this man who has only ever known sorcerers to use magic for evil purposes, to destroy Camelot, attempt to assassinate him, attempt to assassinate his father, to harm those he cares about - and yet he still he still falls back on, what if magic can be good, what if we're wrong, what if, what if, what if--

And it's only when magic itself reveals himself to Arthur that he can finally see that yes, magic can be good.

Because if Merlin is good, if Merlin is the same person even with magic, then magic is neutral, and sorcerers aren't inherently evil.

Arthur was always going to accept magic, that's the thing, that's hardcoded into his character, he just needed the right push, and that push was always going to be Merlin.

Because as Arthur dies in Merlin's arms, blanketed by magic itself, he accepts that even with all of Merlin's magic, his life cannot be saved, magic cannot save him.

But he accepts it, and accepts Merlin, and he dies having brought about all that Merlin ever dreamt of, truly dreamt of, that Arthur would see him for him, and accept him and his magic. And more than that, what Arthur truly ends up doing is embracing it.

Arthur for whatever reason, perhaps because he was born of magic, perhaps because his soulmate is magic itself, perhaps because he has a heart of gold, wanted to see the good in magic at any given opportunity that presented itself, even though with all that Uther taught him, he never should have seen it that way.

It's just, it's so fascinating, and it's so heartbreaking that when he finally knew, he died. But he'll return, and I'm sure then he can build something better with Merlin, really bring magic back to a time that needs it :)

as much as i like to have Max and Victoria leave each other on a high note at the party, i would be an absolute straight up liar if i ever claimed to not love Max’s bitchy as fuck line here— and that i didn’t think it’s one of the most slept on lines.

lies of pp experts, please explain this to me or else my sleep will be haunted

?????? am i forgetting something. it's been so long since I've actually played. there are 8 legion arms but the game files have 9

anyway, it's called Shot Gun and it has gallery info. conversely, it's the only legion arm that doesn't have the workshop symbol part inside. you can probably look up more details in fmodel but I'm too tired for that, i just opened umodel for a drawing reference
