I'm so tired of people playing Sorcerers and getting upset when Gale clarifies they needed someone studied in magic and being like "But I am sooo much better than a wizard, I was born with it!"
Girl, you might be *check notes* magic incarnate but that means absolutely nothing when he is looking for an academic
"But I was born good at magic!"
Okay, and I was born a native Italian speaker, however if an academic asked me if I have studied Italian I would have to say no, because academically I have not. I don't know a single italian linguist. I don't know how we went from indio european to latin to Italian. I don't even know why sardo is a language and bergamasco is a dialect. I forgot all the grammar I had to learn. Sometimes I talk to Tuscans and I do not understand them.
it's almost like those are two entirely different things

honestly one of my fav things that isn’t ever talked about with Kusuo is that he is honestly when you actually examine him, a pretty normal teenager. He’s insecure, he cares a lot about his mom and is scared of making her mad, he gets invested in other peoples drama, he dislikes PE, he hates being spoiled for things, he has an embarrassing crush that his friends judge him for, he has an awkward relationship with his dad and fights with his brother, he wants to be protected.
Like underneath all the unfamiliar stuff, he is honestly Just Some Guy.

You can tell him yourself
If it wasn't for Avalon's roomba ""walkcycle"" and Fripp's galaxycore sparkle fursona design, I would have found that one scene were the druids express their disappointment towards the Soulriders' actions ominous

god!merlin
druids can NOT speak in people’s minds. when they are before a high priestess, they can pray to her directly and she can hear them (hence the scene between morgana and mordred when he spoke in her mind).
merlin who constantly has this buzzing in the back of his head that he can never understand besides the occasional odd word which makes no sense. but when he’s closer to a druid or when their prayer is super strong, then he can make out what they’re saying.
merlin who brings up the fact that druids can speak into peoples minds to gaius who casually unfurls a scroll containing his ongoing list of reasons why merlin is/evidence of merlin being a god of the old religion.

I wish we could get more All Caste Jason Todd shenanigans. Wish we could get Jason Todd being the magical equivalent of someone who walks into a situation that requires a delicate handling and extensive effort to solve and he just smacks it around a little bit and it’s fixed before peacing out (he is also smacked around for a little bit).
I want him to be the guy who essentially fixes an expensive broken machine by kicking it and it goes back to working great.
I want some shady magician to get hired by a crime lord trying to kill the Red Hood and they go “hehe okay! Million dollars :).” And they’re basically being paid to summon Creatures to Kill some vigilante guy and it’s overkill but hey, a million per creature is a bargain in their favor.
And then this Red Hood guy manages to kill all his creatures with two glowing swords of Fuck You. And it’s like “yo. You didn’t tell me he could to that?”
“I didn’t know he could do that.”
And then you have Oracle forcing Jason to accept her comm call so she can go “what the hell was that?!?!?”
And Jason is just like “lens flare. Mind your business.”

Something something Merlin being hated by majority of the sorcerers in Albion because they’ve been studying for years to learn magic. But then they hear about this random country kid that popped out of the womb, made all the furniture in his house float

u know for all we talk about arthur being prone to betrayals because of his kind heart… it is his heart that would so readily forgive merlin for having magic. given time, he would not see it as something to forgive. arthur has been subjected to the worst kinds of magic for years and still he would legalise it because he is pure-hearted at his core. it couldn’t have been anyone else to fill the role of the once and future king!!! they would not have his heart and oh god i’m having so many feelings about this man

This excerpt from the letter Elminster sends to God!Gale post game has had me in a sadness chokehold for DAYS. I knew Gale was young when he was scouted as a new potential Chosen but he was EIGHT??? Eight years old. A child. A baby. And he was accidentally destroying property with fireballs that young? That boy was a sorcerer. The way that one moment changed the trajectory of his entire life.
Elminster watched a little boy cry over ruined flowers and so many years later finally feels regret.

That one world quest with cassadee where we try to help her realize that her idolization of merlin maybe not for who he is as a person, but rather what merlin represent.. Which is magic itself....
Anyways, take that concept and put it to when young mirael when she was still merlin student. In a sense, her adoration for merlin appear the same to cassadee idolization for merlin, and once merlin had said to young mirael; "are you sure you're adoring me for who I am or are you adoring merlin?" and for the longest time mirael was so sure what she likes about her mentor IS for who that person really is, not the title he carries, not what he represent as a whole. Merlin was mirael dearest and she so sure of that, so sure she looked for her mentor for 20 years...
Then she meet her dearest again, except... He's different. no longer the same person she remembers (and he doesn't remembers her)
So once again came in the question... Is it merlin she adore, or her dearest "mentor"?
