ft. Arthur bashing and Douxie not having a good time :D

You guys ever think about an AU where The Arcane Order shows up during the Eternal Night to team up with Morgana again and she’s like:

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’VE REPLACED ME WITH MY HALF-WIT BROTHER?!"

And Arthur’s got a shit eating grin in the background.

[albentelisa]

Hi there! Are there any headcannons about Douxie and Morgana before she switched sides? Or even Arthur amd Douxie?

Oh, Douxie and Morgana is something I wish we had more of.

Initially, Morgana was annoyed by the fact that Merlin got another student - not because she had something against Douxie or felt insecure that her master was looking for someone to substitute for her, but because she believed that Merlin absolutely sucked as a master and didn't want him to control another unfortunate soul. Because of that, initially, Douxie thought that Morgana hated him and tried to throw him out of the castle.

Eventually, those two had a proper talk, and Douxie realized that he was wrong and Morgana actually liked him.

It greatly hurt Douxie that Merlin and Morgana fought all the time as he couldn't pick the side there.

Morgana actually liked Douxie's music and encouraged him a lot.

She also occasionally tried to convince him to switch masters but without being too forceful. Besides, Morgana is also the one who advised Douxie to try things Merlin disapproved of (much to the latter annoyance).

Morgana switching sides actually hurt young Douxie a lot. Still, he had enough time to process all of that before encountering her again during his time travel.

When Morgana processed Claire, she didn't realize that the waiter was Douxie as she thought it was someone with a similar appearance (as she wasn't sure that Douxie had survived for that long).

As for Douxie and Arthur, I believe that Arthur only tolerated Douxie because he was Merlin's apprentice, and well, I don't think that Arthur ever considered Douxie dangerous.

Douxie on the other hand, didn't have a good opinion of Arthur, and he absolutely loathed the system Arthur built because that one forced him into hiding.

“An antagonist with daddy issues who later on alignes with heroes” trope my beloved(ver 2)

Past Douxie being a 'a hot, sad mess' as a mini arc is insane

[avirxy]

Angst/Horror prompts: “I gave you everything and this is how you repay me?” for Morgana and “Breathe slowly, show no signs of fear.” for Mary.

Fury, cannot properly describe her simmering mood.

Morgana has been many, many things, a docile princess, an apprentice, a witch, a traitor, the mother of monsters. The list could be parchments long, she’s choosing not to dwell on it.

But now as she is knelt here, forced into a shallow bow before the throne her father once sat, a cruel man in itself.

She’s next in line to befall a horrific fate under the crown.

“Death isn’t enough,” Arthur decrees, pointing Excalibur down at her, in his shadow, below him, “not for you, dear sister.”

She fights the sneer trying to twist her lips. Showing him her discontent will only fuel his pride. And its quite a wide expanse, he’s always been too prideful, even as children.

The manacles dig into her wrists, cutting at the skin, restricting her movements.

Even the knights stay a wary distance away, their swords glinting in the harsh sunlight through the stained windows.

“I gave you everything and this is how you repay me?” She asks pointedly.

Her filthy half brother raises a brow. “Everything? Is that how you dictate treason?”

“Treason,” Morgana laughs hoarsely, “I saved your life too many times to account for.”

“You freed those trolls! You and your magic wielding accomplices!” He bellows and the people nearest flinch, unsteady with the kings rage.

Her handmaiden is amongst the crowd, good, they hadn’t suspected her despite her hand in the freedom of the trolls. Dark eyes scowling up at Arthur, waiting.

Morgana can sense the darkness wafting closer to the girl, intertwining it’s vines of plague upon her.

It seems she’s already decided her fate all on her own, shard of dark magic included, Morgana will let her walk her own path, even if it falls into oblivion.

Some cannot be stopped, their will too powerful to calculate what they could lose, or perhaps they don’t care.

“Your slaves?” Morgana hisses, acknowledging her brother, “Those you bound unlawfully?”

Arthur raises his chin, “Creating those creatures has been the final straw, those hideous amalgamations of human and filth.”

“They are the bridge, a sign of waning times.” She calmly announces. “Your reign is ending brother.”

“Preposterous!” Arthur swings Excalibur, red in the face with his rage. “The dungeons will be the last walls you see, your days end in a cell, wasting away.”

“Merlin, I want her taken—“

It seems then Arthur finally realizes his powerful wizard was never in the room to begin with, what he thought was his shadow wastes away into the dark, a mere diversion.

Morgana smirks.

“You’ve underestimated me again brother, all of you have,”

Murmurs fill the crowd, her handmaiden has stepped back, weaving through the bodies to end up at the doors, the lock swinging between her digits menacingly.

The girl is an incredible listener, Morgana will give her that and as she hears it click into place, locking each and every person in attendance inside, all the corrupt dukes and duchess, nobles.

The cuffs are weak magic, Merlin’s power is great yes. But it cannot hope to defer the sheer magnitude of hate when infused with magic.

Iron slides off her wrists as she rises, and she gets the most satisfying experience of watching Arthur’s face twist in horror, her hand rising to aim a broiling gold blast straight at his chest.

“And that will be your downfall.”

(That one scene in the Wizards intro where they have a proper battle in the throne room would have been so sick, and this kinda..slots into Tulips of Time? In a way)

Heart of Stone chapter 26

Douxie, Jim and Claire deal with the fact they are responsible for Strickler’s curse, as well as finding out who Deya is and getting back to their own time.

But not before taking part in the Battle of Killahead bridge.

A fairly short chapter, but I hope one that is still acceptable. Likely future chapters are going to be shorter than before, with a few exceptions.

These r fun :)

So like, can someone explain to me-

Why the FUCK is Arthur/The Green Knight so underrated???

I mean seriously! This guy is so blatantly ignored by the fandom despite how interesting of a character he is!

He was a man twisted by his own grief and hatred. He loved his sister but still inwardly feared her abilities and held prejudice against her. He was so tormented by his actions and was ready to atone for his sins and make amends with his sister.

As the Green Knight he was an intimidating villain. He was throwing all of them around like rag dolls and he put chilling fear into both the characters and the audience. (At least me. That mf was SCARY-). And he was a husk of the man he used to be. He still wants to atone for his past sins, but this time in a much more destructive way.

Despite all of this, barely anyone pays attention to him. I get it, Wizards was rushed and that definitely affected how the characters were handled (still mad Arthur’s character development went down the drain with no payoff), but there’s still so much you could do with his character!

I see all this art of the Arcane Order, but the Green Knight is hardly ever included despite being their champion for centuries. Hell! I see more art and fanfiction of the Arcane Order + Morgana, which is straight BULLSHIT!!!!

You’re tellin me, that despite the fact that this man Arthur literally has spent CENTURIES with the Order -not to mention how his soul got fucked up by them- there isn’t a lick of content regarding that, and instead that spotlight is given to Morgana, who hardly spent any time with the Order at all? (Seriously, she’s only worked with them twice. The second time reluctantly).

THE ANGST MATERIAL IS RIGHT THERE!!!! USE IT!!!

In conclusion, Arthur is underrated and deserves more attention.

Chapter 13 of ABRTL is up, at long last! Thanks to everyone for your patience :)

Tales Of Acadia - King Arthur

I find this version of the character fascinating. Grieving, fanatical, villainous, heroic, tragic, evil, beloved. ToA Wizards interpretation of the King Arthur legend is just so interesting and i had to draw hum.

[albentelisa]

Hi! What do you think would happen if Jim was born as Gwen and Arthur's kid, but somehow still meet Claire and Toby?

Oh, that's what I call 'let's give Jim an even messier biological dad'. So, in this AU, Jim is a baby when Gwen dies, so technically he doesn't remember her well enough. Much like in the canon, Arthur starts a crusade against the supernatural and pretty much neglects his son, visiting him only occasionally. Morgana, on the other hand, spends way more time with her nephew (partially because of guilt, but she also genuinely loves Jim). Jim grows a bit, and much to his own horror, Arthur realizes that his only son takes after his mother too much when it comes to curiosity about magical creatures. Jim keeps sneaking out of the castle into the forest and befriending all kinds of magical beings there (including Nari). He also sets free inhuman prisoners rather regularly. And Arthur, instead of reconsidering his stance, is now bound by fear that he will lose the last memento of Gwen. He goes to Merlin looking for the best working solution to keep Jim away from 'dangerous beasts', and this is where those two commit something unforgivable. They put Jim in a time stasis until Arthur obliterates all non-humans.

Unfortunately, nothing goes like planned as Arthur dies and Merlin goes to sleep without giving any instructions how to release Jim.

Barbara in this AU is also from Camelot times. She's Jim's nanny and secretly a witch. She is furious when she learns what Arthur has done to his son and swears to find a way to free Jim. She isn't a powerful or knowledgeable magic user, so it takes her centuries until she manages to do it several years before the beginning of the events in Trollhunters.

As Jim is still a kid, he has less trouble adjusting to the modern world. He is still sad because most of the people he knew are not around anymore (though it's easier with Barbara, who is a true mother figure to him, around). Besides, Jim dreams to become a noble knight which is impossible in the modern world.

On the other hand, Jim still befriends Toby like in the canon, though he doesn't tell him about his origin right away (that happens only after Toby learns about trolls).

As for Jim and Douxie in this AU, those two never met in Camelot times, because technically Jim should be older than Douxie (he would have been an adult by the time Douxie became Merlin's apprentice if Merlin had never trapped him). However, as Jim is physically and mentally the younger one now, Douxie takes over the elder brother role for him when those two meet. It happens soon after Barbara breaks the time stasis as she is friends with Douxie. Initially, Jim is a bit afraid of Douxie as he is Merlin's apprentice and Jim fears that he might be back to that time trap. He opens up once he realizes that Douxie helped Barbara with finding the way to free him.

I think that most of the canon event will still happen. The differences will be:

Jim knowing about the supernatural. He's also not a big fan of fighting for 'the glory of Merlin'. That is his main reason why he wants to refuse the mantle at first. However, later Jim realises that no matter what kind of words are used, the amulet is still meant to protect.

Jim still have some chivalrous mannerisms from his Camelot times and Claire finds it cute. She also teases him about being a prince (as he's is one) and Jim wants to die of embarrassment.

Douxie is obviously involved earlier and Barbara knows about Jim's trollhunting from the very beginning. Barbara still starts to date Strickler and Jim is reluctant to tell her that Walter is a changelling once he learns that. So Barbara still gets bond to Strickler by Angor and only learns the truth later.

When it comes to awaking Merlin, both Jim and Barbara (especially Barbara) are against it. Jim gives in after realizing that they have no other choice.

Morgana doesn't want to harm her nephew, but she thinks about trapping him somewhere so he isn't involved.

Merlin doesn't expect his last Trollhunter to be King Arthur's son. After all, he knows that his champion should become a half-troll, but doing it to his friend's son can be quite a betrayal. Not that it stops Merlin though (or make him think for an alternative).

the reunion between Jim and Arthur in the past is a royal mess. Jim don't even want to confess to his father he is his son (and honestly, both Blinky and Strickler are better in that role).

Jim also can't succeed Excalibur at first because he connects that one to his father too much. He also doesn't want to be a king as he doesn't want to become like his father. Though Aja's example makes him reconsider.

[arcadian-socks]

Merlin: I'm Arthur’s right hand arm... man. I'm his confident, his best friend. His silly rabbit.

Douxie: His what?

Merlin: His silly rabbit.

Douxie: Is that what he calls you?

Merlin: No.

The Once and Future Contestant: Revival Round 1-A

The top 2 characters will go to the next round!

Ari Helix

"Okay so arthur keeps getting reincarnated and every time they do, Merlin wakes up and tries to guide them through everything except he fails every time and arthur always dies and now it's happened so many times that humanity as moved to space and ari helix is the latest reincanation. Also she's gay :)"

England

"i want to see them get crushed i want them to die."

Wart (The Once and Future King)

"Literally said he wanted to face all the evil in the world and fight it so that no one else had to, even though he might fail. What more do you need from a King Arthur. Also Might Does Not Make Right, Right Makes Right! And strong ot3 vibes with Lancelot and Guenever. I love him <3"

King Arthur (Quest for Camelot)

"This was one of my favorite movies as a kid!"

Peter Pevensie

"legendary king returning to create a golden age in an incredibly english fantasy world"

Mario

"He has a friend named Merlon. Two actually. Twice the Merlon, twice the king, I say"

Tedros

"Tedros is very much a more enjoyable character [than his father] and carries Excalibur and talks to merlin a lot and he does take over Camelot during the course of the books so. I think that makes him eligible."

Jim Lake Jr

"He is so meant to be an Arthur parallel, even though Arthur is in his universe and kind of an asshole. Like from episode 1 Jim is pulling a sword from a stone (and getting it stuck again shhhh) and later on he winds up wielding Excalibur and also he gets his magic from Merlin. If the movie followed the trajectory we thought it would (aka not being terrible) he would have become the king of Camelot in some form."
