Making a slow start again ✨ After an intense moving period, I've finally found some time and energy to put into my beloved project again.

It wasn't the most challenging part, it was actually rather repetitive. However, it looks NEAT finished.

Again, can't wait to see Camelot finished! I'm already brainstorming where I could display it in my new home. It, of course, need a spot fitting of it's fantastical stature 🌟

"I'm a sorcerer. I have magic. And I use it for you, Arthur."

Merlin & Arthur | 5.13 "The Diamond of the Day - Part 2"

[resu-w-ana]

It's been six days and I am losing my mind

[justaz]

post magic reveal, post magic ban lifted, arthur gets to see merlin in all his glory and somehow falls deeper in love with him than he ever thought possible. merlin who is free and accepted and loved and ecstatic by it all, but there's that thought lingering in the back of his mind that only half of their destiny has been fulfilled. magic has returned to camelot but albion is still fractured in many different kingdoms, many of which are still holding onto the hate that uther spread which is seeping into the very fabric of the earth itself. druids and magic users and even magic creatures are still persecuted all across the realm and yeah camelot opened her arms to them but not everyone trusts it (justifiably).

arthur who is choking on the sheer amount of love he has for merlin and promising himself that he'll tell merlin, he'll confess, even if he feelings aren't reciprocated. merlin will know. merlin who has been chewing on an idea for some time now and is planning on bringing it up to arthur. its night as merlin is dressing arthur for bed and they're both quiet and tense. they break at the same time and end up speaking over one another. arthur allows merlin to go first since his nerves are eating away at him. then merlin speaks of leaving.

arthur feels his nerves rot and decay and fall into a bottomless pit. merlin is rambling about how every magical being in albion is still being targeting by various kingdoms and as the prophesied emrys, magic incarnate, druid king, should he not be doing more to help? he doesn't want to leave arthur's side, but he does want to help his people. he's seen only a fraction of the atrocities committed against them and he wishes to protect them, give them somewhere completely safe, a kingdom of magic so to speak. he promises that he'll only be gone for as long as it takes to establish a kingdom (a year? two? three?) but he promises to write and visit often...as long as arthur gives him permission and allows him to leave his service for the time being.

arthur of course agrees, half unhappy about it but completely understanding. surely, out of everyone, he is the one who can understand the weight of responsibility weighing on merlin's shoulders. he mentions that merlin will need someone with experience wearing the crown to guide him. plus, balance. merlin was always there for arthur, guiding him on how to be a better man, a great king, someone worthy of the praise he constantly spewed. it's only right that arthur gets to return that by helping merlin establish a safe haven and home for his people. and politically, camelot being the first kingdom to recognize merlin's and establish some trade agreement or treaty with them will strengthen merlin's kingdom's status and send a message that camelot stands with magic.

merlin smiles wide and asks what arthur was going to say. the king hesitates before biting his tongue and requesting that merlin bring up the honey cakes that had been prepared earlier that night. two of them. since merlin was no longer in his service, he didn't have to stand by and watch arthur eat - not that he ever did, the idiot loved to steal his food. shamelessly!! he never even tried to hide it. they both sat at the table in his chambers until late in the night, nibbling away at the sweets, chasing it down with wine, and chatting away.

arthur wasn't able to confess, but it did not change his feelings. if anything, merlin's heart and the decision he made only added fuel to the raging inferno of love and devotion within arthur. he knows that merlin will keep in contact and will return to his side one day. he gets through the tough days/nights by rereading merlin's letters and imagining seeing him again in royal garb and donning a crown.

don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief shining moment, that was known as camelot

What kind of paladin do you play (Musicals Version)?

Which song speaks to the heart of what drives your paladin? 1. To Dream The Impossible Dream. From Man of La Mancha.

2. C'est Moi. Camelot.

3. Stars. Les Miserable.

Because I am a huge DnD and musicals nerd and for too long have questions like these boiled in my mind. And because it is me...I will make an item for the winner. Or the top two if it gets 100 interactions. Or all three if it gets 500. And a subclass for the winner if it gets over 1000.

What were the prose Tristan authors eating for lunch when they wrote Mark and Tristan's dynamics seriously it's so toxic but also like they keep hanging around each other? Toxic exes except family instead of lovers

[badsalmonella]

So I'm FINALLY getting around to watching the 2008 concert filming of Camelot and everything has been chill and good so far but OH MY GOD THE MAN PLAYING KING ARTHUR KEEPS FALLING EVER SO SLIGHTLY BEHIND ON THE MUSIC AND IT'S ACTUALLY DRIVING ME A LITTLE INSANE.

Day 26: JOMPBPC: Best World Building

[merlinmylove]

In the future Merlin is knighted:

What if Merlin was knighted in the modern times for his work within historical literature and cultural preservation?

He has several PhDs, amongst Arthurian legends, Medieval history, and Ancient medicine history — most of his work is published under pseudonyms and as “a family legacy” pretending to be his own great grandfather

He’s actually, legally, a Knight. Sir Merlin Hunithson; Lord of Ambrosius Manor and Medows. It’s in his official government paperwork (not that he ever uses those)

Leon won’t stop laughing at him and he hates it whenever he mentioned their status:

“I’m not a real knight, Leon”

“Actually, legally you are. I may be a real knight, but I was knighted 1500 years ago. No one knows that except you — and you’re the one of us who’s officially acknowledged as a knight

Merlin owns land now and his Manor is near the lake of Avalon. He modelled the build after Camelot, but only his best friends knows that. The lake is said to be haunted, but that’s just Freya being a little shit and scaring tourists away

Leon lives with him rent-free. He has a model airplane collection in the garage and hosts annual medieval festivals and jousting tournaments — obviously he wins every year

As a Knight, Merlin is invited to several official and royal dinners and galas throughout the year. Leon is always his plus one

Merlin hates the Windsors (except Diana, she was cool, they met once).

He posts hate-comments on every social media post about them like:

#NotMyKing

#BringBackArthur

Leon comments on every picture of Merlin

#MyKnightInShiningArmour

#MarryMe

When Arthur finally returns he laughs so hard that Merlin pushes him back into the lake

The start of phase 2: the inner buildings of Camelot.

The whole set is divided in several groups, each receiving a letter in their numbering. All the towers and walls were B. This little corner was C: the entrance and guard house!

I love how I'm getting to see glimpses of the finished build, with all white parts covered. I also adore how the building sticks out over the parapets! 😍

Next up is D, among which the building of the throne room! ✨

I know a lot of people don't like that Merlin is the one who helped Arthur pull the sword from the stone but I honestly feel it worked so perfectly in this universe. The fact that Arthur could not have pulled the sword from the stone without magic is so thematically in tune with how Merlin is behind him every step of the way, helping him build this new Camelot together. The fact that they work best as one — Merlin making up this story and using his magic to make the story come to life, and Arthur being the figurehead who the people want to follow and believe in, the one who cares and is willing to fight for the citizens of Camelot.

This isn't the story of Albion. It's Merlin and Arthur's story, about how THEY came together. They are two sides of the same coin, they are each other's destinies and one does not work without the other. It needed to be BOTH of them pulling the sword from the stone

[resu-w-ana]

I finally finished with the exterior and natural terrain around it! Interior is in progress, the city to go.

[chipinabag]

I don't know if this if a fic already but building on that one trope. The one where after arthur dies they ALL get sent back to the day merlin comes to camelot.

That, but merlin is the only one who doesn't know what has happened in the last timeline. (To reverse time has to give up his memories.)

And everyone is acting weird like the prince is glaring at his father and father's ward and is being really nice to me.

The king is keeps glaring at me but everytime he tries to be mean to me the prince just puts his hand on his sword. Gwen my new best friend is trying to set me up with my employer. And I just met these nice (and good looking) men. I think gwaine and lancelot know about my magic. Maybe the king too but I'm not sure since the prince doesn't let him talk to me.

The king's ward is kinda avoiding me for some reason, but she's kinda warming up to me.

The other servant keep treating me like a lord for some reason.

When I went to visit my mother there was a man named balinor who is actually my father and is a fucking dragonlord.

The dragon under the castle is kinda weird, keeps wanting me to bring a sword or something.

I might do something with this in the future, it will take me while.

They think their job is done, but as magic is revealed to be re-emerging, and not all of it in the right hands, they must build a new Camelot in this modern world to deal with the emerging threats.
