Slider and Iceman fist bump after their flights.

Hollywood gives Wolfman a fist bump after their flights but Wolfman always responds with an open palm shouting “Turkey!” because they’re flying the turkey.

Maverick and Goose high five after their flights because they can never agree coordinate who’s the head and who’s the tail of the turkey.

Trick or Treat!!

And so you treaded into the realm of darkness. Along the way, you meet a mysterious (and totally not Panchi /lying) person dressed as a heartless.

"Thank you for stopping by, my good friend Merlin. Have this as a small gift. Consider it a little treat."

You look at the bag and open it. It is....

A small Kale plush! And holding some...Kale? Suppose he's making sure you eat your greens even in the night of Halloween! Or the stranger thought it would be amusing-

what ever happened to production companies aiming to garner a dedicated fanbase/fandom for their shows and the support of these fandoms ensuring the security and success of the show for future seasons, which when made would bring even more people into the fandom.

but now companies like netflix don't care about growing dedicated fandoms and will only greenlight second seasons of shows if they are watched by a population of half a billion within their first month. which shows me that they only really care about getting the attention of the general public. tbh, i feel like if dr who or sherlock or supernatural or merlin were to have aired on netflix rn, they wouldn’t have been renewed. it sickens me how much media priorities have changed.

took a short break from drawing merlin to draw merlin (wip) maybe I should draw camelot? I'm not that good with the backgrounds but I've had two (2) good tries recently. who knows? might be a good streak?

I'm reading Marion Bradley's Mists of Avalon (1982) right now and I'm struck with a fascinating parallel with BBC Merlin.

Some context: MoA is a retelling of Arthurian legends through the eyes of its women (great premise, but I won't dwell on that right now), starting with Igraine. Here, she's confronted with the fact that her and Uther are destined to find each other, in order to bring about the Once and Future King👑. (same concept, different wording)

Now read this passage:

Now who might this possibly remind you of?

(also I recommend the book so far)

I need everyone to know that tonight I got my local community theatre to act out one of my fanfics. There was a call for short scripts, I rewrote my fic into the appropriate format and removed the overt fandom stuff, and viola. Two quite good actors performed

to my immense satisfaction.

Do u have any thoughts on gwaines necklace? Is it a moon? I can't remember if cannon ever explained where it came from :(

It wasn't ever explained in canon, I don't think! I know the ring belonged to Eoin Macken's father and he always wore it so they incorporated it into the character design. According to the wiki page the charm (a crescent moon) is Egyptian and was given to him by his mother, though I did read somewhere that it had been added to the necklace to make it something more like what Gwaine would wear, but that was several years ago and I can't remember where I saw it, so it's probably wrong.

I could be wrong here, too, but I think in fanon the ring is considered to have belonged to Gwaine’s father and I'm not sure if there's any popular headcanons for the crescent moon. I quite like the idea of it being involved in his family crest and all of the conflict that could bring with his own identity and perceptions of the world -- though I can't remember if I've actually explored it much. I'm also quite partial to the idea of Elyan (usually in an Elyaine context) adding other charms to the necklace as the years go by. It can be a really neat detail to explore in fics, for sure, and now you've reminded me of it I will definitely be paying more attention in things I read to see if there are any headcanons there!

Submission message for Allison and Patti: I also think Allison and Patti from Kevin Can F**k himself.

Submission message for Merlin and Arthur: merthur (merlin and Arthur from the BBC show merlin

Additional propaganda: Merthur is just gay I don’t have to explain merthur on the merthur site. They’re talking to each other at night and giving each other flowers and shit— things Arthur NEVER does with his canon romantic love interest and if I’m not mistaken I think Arthur like goes to sleep for a hundred years and Merlin is like. Still waiting for him? Let them kiss, damn!

I refuse to shut up about this. Merlin is not queerbait!! At no point during the show is there a genuine possibility of Arthur and Merlin to be in a romantic relationship. They are queer coded but they do not create a false impression of their relationship. See Sherlock for good example: they constantly bring it up in the show itself and dangle it in front of the viewers, only to not follow through. The show Merlin does not set them up. There are no offhanded remarks, comments, or jokes that they’re more than friends. There is simply no chance in the show that they will get together. They are queer coded, which is not the same. Coding says: this character displays some traits and characteristics that ___ people may relate to. Baiting says: oh you want these two together? hmm, you wanna see that? wouldn’t that be nifty? what if they talk about it and act like it? aren’t you gonna keep watching to find out if they really do? Then follows up with: SIKE! Wow we got you, of course they’re not together! All of that was meaningless! Let’s please stop confusing these two entirely separate concepts!

merthur totally should win for so many reasons but mostly. most because the show writer, when advertising the last episode, said it was “a love story between two men” and then arthur just died in merlin’s arms for 42 minutes. on the day before christmas.
