Hello, I'm very sorry you've found yourself in this situation again, and that I'm just seeing all of this now! I see the Magister is on the case, I'm sure he'll be able to pinpoint your location in no time!

For now, try to keep calm, well, as calm as possible... stay in the same room, make sure you cover all entries that might invite the cold in, several layers of insulating materials such as blankets, or in a pinch paper, even pieces of wood... whatever you have available. With that you should have enough to keep warm for a while after putting out the fire, I should think.

This is the Doctor, by the way.

Hello! And uh, thank you for caring.

I found that the cabin has window shutters, they're wooden and all, i don't feel as scared of the toclafane seeing the light from in here.

I found some old coat in the attic, i hope this and all the blankets will be enough to keep me from freezing till um.. well till someone gets here i suppose

It’s okay, Murdoch, I’m scared of the dark too

Murdoch: Wha- What?! I'm not afraid of the dark! How dare you!

Arthur: 🙄

Evening Star: 🤔

Murdoch: I'M NOT!

hypothetical scenario for you all: the real king arthur returns. you meet him and you welcome him into your home. what is the first thing you do with him? keep in mind, this is a man from the 500s (he died in 542), and you are from the 21st century (2024).

Hi there!! How does it feel to have Cabbie and Windlifter as your parents? :D

It's chill. I mean both my dad and papa are chill. The only downside is when you work with your parents..

My dad just drops and picks up the smokejumpers, on the other hand I spend more time with my papa. It's kinda annoying because he's always-

"Arthur, don't forget to refill your tank"

"Arthur, don't stray away."

"Arthur, watch where your going."

"Arthur, stay close to Blade."

I mean I get it, he's my papa, but I'm literally grown up, I'm not a kid.

Other than that I have no complaints. I listen to the radio with my dad and we watch movies. Me and my papa sometimes work out, but thats pretty much it..

(Me and my papa after firefighting):

"your angel" with such little context is another way of saying "your sweetheart" romantically and well. they're not wrong

❝ not everything needs an explanation. i care about you. i don’t have to sit here and figure out why. i just do. so maybe you should try just accepting it too. ❞ / for arthur, from sadie :')

Sadie's been dealt a bad hand but she could survive out there on her own now pretty easily yet she stuck around. At first, he figured it was power in numbers but after that? How could he stay that oblivious?

The cowboy chuckles, shifting bashfully. " Well... I guess when ya put it that way I don't have any other choice now do I? " He smiles. " Didn't figure you fer such a softy miss Adler. "

I think about this quote everyday. You're right Arthur, they ARE best friends and it IS kind of adorable

[potato-lord-but-not]

someone asked how the boyfriends would be with Faroe after Kayne brings her back, and sorry for being a downer but I’m on the “Arthur doesn’t get Faroe back” hill so I initially wasn’t gonna ponder about it.

And then I started pondering. weeks later. and decided I can indulge just this once because tbh I need more adorable Faroe in my life (we all do). I indulged a little too much tho and decided to make an actual post instead of answering the ask so HERE WE ARE

Uh-oh. Watch out. Goober-esque goofiness is afoot (possible sticker ideas).

[noodles-and-tea]

i love your modern merthur art so i have to ask, what do you think Arthur’s favorite and least favorite thing about the 21st century would be if when he’s revived?

I think (once he gets used to it) Arthur would really appreciate technology and playing easier Nintendo games (especially if Merlin can play with (for) him)

I think he’d also like binging tv or movie series and comfy clothes (he lives in sweats) and taking very long, hot showers (figures)

As for his least favourite things I think he would occasionally get homesick, less as he grows accustomed to his new life but he would definitely miss his friends and the knights and Gwen.

:(

Zagreus eats you while you sleep. I believe that was the last line.

..... No surely... Surely not... That's...

Why would that be in a children's book... Maybe it wasn't.. in a children's book, maybe I'm remembering wrong.. but.. or maybe you remembered it wrong and when i saw it in your mind it was already wrong???

Are deleted scenes still canon?

I remember being at Douglas Adams's house in Islington in 1986, reading the original Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy TV scripts, and early in episode 2 coming across a deleted scene in which Arthur Dent was made a Lost in Space style "silver suit" of the kind that represented futuristic space clothing on TV back then, and put it on, and wore it for the rest of the story.

That scene was deleted. And Arthur went though the whole of Hitchhiker's in his dressing gown.

If deleted scenes are canon, then Arthur Dent is not wearing his dressing gown.

[queeringclassiclit]

Which adaptation of Sherlock Holmes is the most queer?

*not including House M.D. because it's not really an adaptation, or any overtly queer pastiches like My Dearest Holmes or The Adventure of the Furtive Festivity because that's not really a fair contest

allies idol au!

Happy Fall Season 🍁🍂🌻 !!! I’d love to see your take on a Merlin role reversal! 🥰

Hunith had never wanted to be queen, but once she gave birth to Balinor's son, there wasn't much choice in it.

Balinor sits as king, the lord of the dragon lords, and Merlin will one day inherit his title. She was just a village girl and the dirty traveling soldier had a nice smile and kind eyes so she'd lain with him.

If she'd known that he was king, she would not have presumed.

~

Merlin is strolling down the street, arguing with Will, when he trips over his own feet, knocks into a fruit stands, sends all the apples sprawling across the ground, and takes another step directly onto one of those apples only to end face first into a stone wall. "Ow."

The stone wall moves, which isn't unheard of in their kingdom, but then it talks, which is new. "Oh the Goddess above."

Hands settle on his shoulders, pushing him back and he looks up dazed to see that the stone wall is actually a blonde man with the brightest blue eyes he's ever seen. He's got broad shoulders and a chest firm enough that Merlin thinks his nose might be broke and Goddess above is right.

He's looking over Merlin's shoulder. "Are you going to clean this up?"

He turns, seeing the irate stall owner and the apples that are fucking everywhere as well as Will laughing his ass off and being no help whatsoever. "Oh, no! I'm sorry, let me just-"

Merlin holds out his hands, trying to remember the correct education, but the stall owner goes pale and starts waving his hands. "No, no, it's okay, please don't-"

The man smacks his hand down and grabs the back of his neck, giving him a rough shake as if he were a misbehaving kitten. "You a precision caster? Otherwise, knock it off. You're more likely to explode them then gather them that way."

He's sort of the exact opposite of a precision caster. He lets the spell go and sees the way the stall owner sighs in relief. "Oh. Right."

The man's name is Arthur, he's one of the peasants that have been recruited into being a solider in the war against Camelot, and he's here at the palace to receive the standard training along with the rest of the would be soldiers.

His father won't let him on the battlefield, even though that's where his magic is best, and he can't help but feel vaguely guilty that Arthur's been pulled from his family to fight in a war that Merlin thinks would end a hell of a lot faster if his father wasn't so protective.

It's that guilt that has Merlin forgoing his place at the high table with his mother to wander down to the lower tables at dinner that night to try and thank Arthur for helping him clean up all the apples, something he hadn't been able to do before Will was dragging him away.

He's not expecting it when one of the soldiers leaps to their feet and pulls out a dagger on him, one that has to be cursed against enchantments because none of the spells to pull it form his hands that several people at the high table cast do any good at all.

Merlin's just feeling the bite of it into his throat, frantically trying to think of a spell to get him out of this, when a carving knife goes whizzing past his face and embeds itself into his assailant's skull.

Merlin jumps away, shaking, to see Arthur standing there and cool and unbothered, hand outstretched as if he's about to cast a spell. But he's not, it's like that because he'd grabbed the knife from the venison on the table and killed that man before he could kill Merlin.

"You just make friends wherever you go, don't you?" Arthur asks.

Then everyone's moving forward, pulling him away, and Arthur along with him. His expression turns murderous, like he's wishing he had another knife as he's manhandled across the room.

His mother pat his face and clucks at his neck and then thanks Arthur for saving her son.

Arthur had bowed at Hunith but then frozen. He's looking at Merlin with dismay, which isn't exactly new for him but he's not sure why he's getting that look from Arthur now of all times. "You're Prince Merlin? You?"

"Uh," he says, then shrugs helplessly. "Yes?"

He really doesn't think Arthur's opinion of him is improved when Hunith assigns him to be Merlin's personal servant. It should be a reprieve, getting to work in the palace rather than the battlefield, but the tight look on Arthur's face doesn't ease.

[shit-sorry-fuck-mybad]

Merlin and Arthur are one of the only boss/employee romances I’ll take and it’s honestly because Arthur thinks he’s the boss when in reality Merlin runs the show and I think that’s funny
