Divorce #2.5 I'm obsessed with them and their dynamics, the unhinged toxic QPR rep we didn't know we needed💜
They are physically, emotionally, psychologically dependent on each other, they can't stand each other half the time, they threaten their own lives just to spite one another, they have both faced down gods to safeguard each other's existence, they hate each other, they love each other, they are both simultaneously each other's prisoner and warden, they have changed the fabric of their reality as a result of how they have changed in response to the other, they literally never stop heckling each other and I can't stop thinking about them

There’s lots of “Arthur was totally oblivious to Merlin’s magic the entire time because he’s just that dense” and the flipside “what if Arthur had figured out Merlin had magic ages ago and just didn’t say anything” but quite frankly I think there should be more “consciously Arthur refuses to entertain the idea of Merlin being a sorcerer, but his subconscious has been picking up on all the weird coincidences and it’s getting harder and harder for him to ignore”
Like Arthur isn’t always the smartest but I do think there’s a difference between obliviousness and willful ignorance. Arthur has some very obvious reasons not to want to believe Merlin could be a sorcerer. Namely that he cares about Merlin and thinks Merlin is Good, whereas he’s always believed and been taught that sorcery is an absolute Evil. Therefore Merlin cannot be a sorcerer, because he’s not evil.
There’s also the fact that he’s convinced Merlin is incompetent— Arthur’s idea of magic is not just malicious, but intentional. It’s something you do, on purpose, and it requires effort. If Merlin’s incompetent, then he couldn’t be doing any of those things. And Arthur, frankly, throughout most of the show, kind of needs to be able to think of Merlin as incompetent, because if Merlin wasn’t incompetent, it would mean Arthur had been unjustly insulting him and treating him poorly for years.
So Arthur, very willfully, refuses to even entertain the idea of Merlin having magic. It’s just so silly! Except, of course; it’s kind of hard not to notice how suspicious Merlin is. Like. He’s not very good at hiding it. Luckily Arthur is very good at repression, and so he can just kind of ignore that; but that also is only going to work for so long.
And I think there’s so much to be explored about the process of Arthur’s repression starting to fail, and his subconscious finally starting to break through to his conscious mind and call attention to everything about Merlin that Arthur has been willfully ignoring.
And when you add things like Arthur’s daddy issues and internalized homophobia— Merlin can’t be one of them, but also Arthur can’t be attracted to one of them, but also Arthur can’t be attracted to a man, but also men are people who take action, and sorcerers are people who do intentional evil, and Merlin isn’t like that— But he is? And what does it say about Arthur that he— That he could want—
And in all of that Arthur is just sitting there while he mentally fights his psychosexual demons. And Loses. Big time.

LOOK THIS IS "THE LAST STRAW"
This is actually a second post on it, first one you can check lower :3
We have here a sad young god with a very unstable mentality. He wants attention and support and because of that sticks to the first oncoming travelers coming by him :,)
And then he picks up the demon and makes a contract with him - and this will be in the next post in a couple of days hehe >:3
@levshany is on board!✌
And now about our new characters!
This is Arthur and Nico! Our origin is the equivalent of Tandem Philip and Collie, and they also have a common name for both "Arnica". As it was in the au, the old man here is possessed by child-god, and together they go to Nico’s home to his older brothers and sisters to help Arthur deal with his troubles with the head.
Arnica will have their own big comic story, but so far we’ve decided to do a crossover with these babies here >:3
