Anyways……..Gwaine crashed in Ealdor soon after Merlin dipped. Destiny was trying to bring them together but missed by a hair. Will took him in and let him crash at his place. They ended up fucking (Will was trying to mend the heartbreak of his childhood best friend and sort of boyfriend leaving) (also the scraggly drunk is actually really hot) (and they both hate nobility with a passion). Gwaine left right before Ealdor started to get raided because he’s always on the move and never stays in one place for too long.

Uhhhh years later Merlin mentions his home village of Ealdor and Gwaine smiles and is like “Ah, a quaint but homey place. I visited there once. I was homed by a lovely man with a similar heart to mine. I wonder how Will is doing after all these years…” Merlin beats him with his shoe for sleeping with his friend. And also has to break the news that he died but this was supposed to be a funny post so lets ignore that potential for angst and focus on WHATEVER THE FUCK THEIR SHIP NAME IS

it is all chaos and entropy. the thing is that the chaos and entropy make it beautiful and lovely.

yes, it's true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is terrifying. i have lived through some of the unfairness - i got born like this, with my body caving into itself, with this ironic love of dance when i sometimes can't stand up for longer than 15 minutes. i am a poet with hands that are slowly shutting down - i can't hold a pen some days. recently i found a dead bird on our front porch. she had no visible injuries. she had just died, the way things die sometimes.

it is also true that nature and the universe are uncaring and unspecific, and that is wonderful. the sheer happenstance that makes rain turn into a rainbow. the impossible coincidence of finding your best friend. i have made so many mistakes and i have let myself down and i have harmed other people by accident. nature moves anyway. on the worst day of my life she delivers me an orange juice sunset, as if she is saying try again tomorrow.

how vast and unknowing the universe! how small we are! isn't that lovely. the universe has given us flowers and harp strings and the shape of clouds. how massive our lives are in comparison to a grasshopper. the world so bright, still undiscovered. even after 30 years of being on this earth, i learned about a new type of animal today: the dhole.

chance echoing in my life like a harmony between two people talking. do you think you and i, living in different worlds but connected through the internet - do you think we've ever seen the same butterfly? they migrate thousands of miles. it's possible, right?

how beautiful the ways we fill the vastness of space. i love that when large amounts of people are applauding in a room, they all start clapping at the same time. i love that the ocean reminds us of our mother's heartbeat. i love that out of all the colors, chlorophyll chose green. i love the coincidences. i love the places where science says i don't know, but it just happens.

"the universe doesn't care about you!" oh, i know. that's okay. i care about the universe. i will put my big stupid heart out into it and watch the universe feast on it. it is not painful. it is strange - the more love you pour into the unfeeling world, the more it feels the world loves you in return. i know it's confirmation bias. i think i'm okay if my proof of kindness is just my own body and my own spirit.

i buried the bird from our porch deep in the woods. that same day, an old friend reaches out to me and says i miss you. wherever you go, no matter how bad it gets - you try to do good.

mma's absecene in season 3 is something i obviously noticed, also iirc, Edgar and The Teenager/Crappy Kid don't show up either. I thought maybe that was on purpose, maybe they wanted to focus more on the band, less on The Revenge sub-plots? But, after seeing this sketch, I have questions... (a post about the unused Revengencer Sketches that we've seen so far)

This sketch is awesome, obviously I like it when they make MMA blast bare chest for all his cannibal friends. BUT-! The only time he's shirtless in the show is when he's sitting on that concrete throne, thing:

It's a really fun shot from Bookklok. Kind of random though, because as I mentioned, MMA was absent for a whole season and when he shows back up, he's randomly in a different design? (Ripped pants, shirtless/no body armor, gloves are fingerless when normally they are not)

And not to mention the eBay listing for the unused shirtless sketch said this:

...The season he's not in? Interesting.... And if you look close at the unused sketch, you'll see his gloves are still complete, not fingerless... And, if it's from Season 3 (,I think) then that would make sense from a chronological perspective. Gloves normal, then gloves ripped...

It could be that the low-angle was also to be used in seasons 4, and they never got around to it. But, it also makes sense to me that The Revengencers might've been in Season 3, and then just kinda got scrapped. (i'm also just doing some wishful thinking, i admit, but it's weird that they aren't in season 3, right? That's not just me focusing too much on these characters?) There's MORE unused, low-angle MMA sketches, one of him just standing (and it's SUPER good looking, I would've sold a kidney to buy this one) and the other is him loading a sniper rifle, which i KNOW he doesn't do in the show, because it would've driven me NUTS if he did.

The first sketch i don't know where it's from. He's got a weapon, but I don't recognize it at first glance, the arm brace implies season 2 or 4, though I think 2 more likely. Maybe it's from him attacking Charles in Dethrelease/Black Fire Upon Us? They use the low angle in that scene, but when he grabs his knife, it's using his standard model. So idk, maybe that's when that one could've been used?? Also, fun fact, there's a bit of an error in that scene, because MMA is missing his arm brace. The one with the rifle is probably from The Revengencers (i think it's labeled with a "212" for season 2, episode 12, aka The Revengencers), he's shown with a sniper rifle, but he never uses it in that episode. It's actually Edgar who ends up using a rifle, not my wife. Still pretty bad ass.

See? They've both got rifles (also the kid's got a gun, girl put that away, go home!!!) Obviously, MMA kills a klokateer and throws Charles out a window, but he's never shown with this rifle after this one shot. (Playing into my head-canon of he can't see v well/doesn't like using guns) I'm pretty sure this sketch was also supposed to be in The Revengencers, because they show MMA playing with a bomb in that one, maybe the kid was supposed to help. He's even in that scene in the episode, but he doesn't play with explosives, I think he pours Edgar something to drink. I think it's wine, iirc.

Anyways, post over, i like the revengencers, and if they were supposed to be in Season 3 at all, but didn't make it in, i'd love to know more about those plans.

For you. And Harding. And everyone we've lost.

rye 'I want varric back you son of a bitch' ingellvar showing up to the narrative stricken to the core with grief and digging two graves. one for the dread wolf. and another one also for the dread wolf because by the time rye is done with him that fucker is hopefully going to be in several pieces. lucanis hold my shovel for a moment would you I need to commit some acts of grim violence and deep poetic irony (*supportive lucanis voice as rook grabs the fake dagger* go get him rook I've got your shovel). solas I'm sorry I love you but if you were going to pull that shit you probably should have done it to someone a little less like, well. you

Also related to Our Worlds at War, something something there is some sort of commemorative [x] Years After The War ceremony or something.

It's a big public thing, all sort of heroes who participated are getting recognized, but someone decided they shouldn't ignore YJ's contributions because while they were not actively fighting, they were still drafted to be on the front as medical auxiliaries.

Tim is not going to publicly go, because secret identities and way too many cameras and live feeds aimed at the thing, and Bart is not going to go either, because trauma and bad memories, he's just going to glue himself to Tim and they are gonna play games and pointedly Not Watch The Ceremony.

The other members of YJ (the ones who decided to go / could afford to go) accept the [insert something they are being presented with to honor their contribution] on behalf of Robin and Impulse as well, with testimonial being played from heroes about being extracted from the battlefield by YJ, interspersed with clips from the behind the lines that managed to get glimpses of the kids at work.
