bbc merlin - 02x10 Sweet Dreams

the arthur/sire switch is EVERYTHING to me

[thedoctorsunderwear]

Some of you forget that the song used at the end of The Christmas Invasion

WAS SPECIFICALLY WRITTEN FOR DOCTOR WHO.

It’s called ��Song for Ten’ and in the episode it’s sung by Tim Phillips, but on the soundtrack it’s sung by Neil Hannon. I personally prefer the TV version as it feels more triumphant and full.

And what makes it better, is that it’s written from 9/10’s perspective! The TV version only goes over the first half of the song, the happy part, it’s about the doctor and rose!

But the second half… oh goodness. ‘So have a good life, do it for me, make me so proud, like you want me to be. Wherever you are, I’m thinking of you, oceans apart. I want you to know…’ ITS ABOUT THE DOCTOR AND ROSE BEING SEPARATED! AND THE WAY THEY CUT OFF THAT LINE LIKE ‘If it’s my last chance to say it… Rose Tyler…’ AHSBSJBEKCND

‘And I woke up today AND YOU WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE?!?’ LIKE BRO AKBDJWBJDISBKCJWKOCJWNFLOCBAKXOISBEMFOC ATOP YOU’RE KILLING ME MURRAY GOLD!

Paul and John (and Ringo) talk to Brian Matthew on the first edition of the BBC radio show Top Gear, recorded 14th July 1964 and broadcast 16th July 1964.

Brian: In my young days, when I was a lad, they used to have actors in films and that, now they... Paul: Yes John: Eh, listen... Paul: It's all changed now John: It's all changed now Brian: Well, this is what I'm wondering. Paul: They're not doing that. No actors. Brian: In those days, the actors used to say their best bits were left on the cutting room floor, did you find that? John: No (laughs). No, no, there was the good bits in the film. You should have seen the rest. Brian: Yes? John: Rubbish. Brian: Was it really? John: Even worse, yes. Brian: Who was worse? John: Oh, Paul Brian: I see Paul: (laughs) No, I think John was about the worst John: No, it was you Paul: Ah, Ringo was very good Brian: He was Paul: He's a good lad Brian: They're saying he's... John: He was miming Brian: ... a new Charlie Chaplin. Do you think that's right? Paul: A new Charlie Chaplin? John: Oh, aye - he's an old one (laughs). Ok, Ring? Brian: He's beginning to look like it Ringo: Alright, John? CAN YOU HEAR ME? Brian: Now then... Paul: Can you hear him? Brian: Not really, I hope not. Hope not. John: We brought you the flowers, Ring

Brian: He’s not allowed to talk. Ringo: Eh? John: We brought you the flowers! Ringo: Oh, good John: And the grapes! Ringo: Oh, I like grapes! Paul: He likes grapes

My main fandoms and the characters I obsess over:

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

deeply niche but like a decade ago there was an epistolary radio show called warhorses of letters which was actual genuine horse yaoi just thought you should know xoxoxo

You're telling just *now* that there exists a BBC radio show adaption of an epistolary novel about two gay warhorses in the Napoleonic era, who are on opposite sizes of the battlefield? Based on the real horses of the war generals?

His name? Well, actually their names. Anyways I had this really fun idea and my own take on the “What would happen if you tried to take Merlin’s magic away” or whatever yknow. Well this is one of my fun takes. I thought it’d be very funny if it kinda split Merlin from his magic and kinda split his personality into two different people. Yknow like that one Phineas and Fred eps where Candice splits into two and one wants to bust the boys and the other is obsessed with Jeremy. Essentially that. Or like any classic cartoon troupe like that.

Emrys is the embodiment of the word “Stressed”, Merlin is cluelessly fearless. Emrys is an excellent liar, Merlin wouldn’t be able to lie if his life depended on it(it does). Emrys is rather agile, Merlin is so clumsy and accident prone he may get himself killed just by walking around. Both still have the sass, but Emrys’ is better timed with his to make them hit the hardest and Merlin only speaks in insults.

Anywho, the concept is that Merlin goes back to the first instance he died, which I decided he’s fallen out of a tree one night while sneaking out to play with Will. And one of the only way Merlin and Emrys become one again is if Merlin goes through all of the times he died. Luckily it doesn’t switch until Merlin fully heals from the last death, and Merlin sustained quite a few injuries that take some time to heal from his first. So before he goes to his next death, the poisoned chaise, Emrys has to find the flower, and then will hunt to find The Cup of Life. That’s because some of his deaths are impossible to cure, and with The Cup of Life, Emrys could speed up the process. But having to do all of that all at the same time as, making sure Merlin doesn’t get himself killed, protecting Arthur, and having to deal with a mini Dragon who just wants to play with her lord. All while Morgana is trying to find out where her dragon has gone off to.

Also Emry’s outfit is fully inspired by an outfit @/druid-boy-punk drew Merlin in check out their stuff it’s really good.

I'm having a lot of feelings about The Split and your fics and gifsets are giving me LIFE! Thank you for creating!

Thank you! 🥹 I'm so happy to see another Hannah x Christie fan out there as we are far too scarce!

What with Abi coming along to likely shatter our post-s3 happy Hannah x Christie dreams, I really want to finish my continuation fic if not before the 29th, at least not too long after (my body doesn't always cooperate with my minds desire to get stuff written). 🤞

wild blue yonder will actually just be the tardis locking the doctor and donna in a room with susan, tecteun, and river song.

merlin & arthur, split apart soulmates

There's just something that hits right when Merlin mortally hates Mordred but Mordred is just a kid that worships Emrys, and tries his best to show his idol that he doesn't want to kill the King (whom he admires) and succeeds and then Merthur adopting him when they repeal the ban on magic

[shitpostingkats]

Speaking as someone from outside the fandom, I genuinely believe we should try to bring back whatever the hell BBC's Merlin had going on.
