merlin who stands against the wall while uther reprimands arthur, who stands behind arthur at dinners where utherâs disapproval and disappointment is apparent, who has been there when arthur is quiet and despondent after private meetings with his father, who has watched for years the sting of utherâs words and sometimes hands against his own son, who has bit his tongue and followed arthur with gentle hands and softer words as he puts the pieces back together of the man he knows and loves.
merlin watching uther lose his temper over arthur going against him for their people and watching arthur crawl into himself and shove his feelings down to be the emotionless prince his father expects of him. once utherâs rage has quelled somewhat, he dismisses arthur without another look and arthur leaves, his back ramrod straight and his chin held high despite the glazed look in his eyes, his last shot at keeping his composure. and merlin breaks, he glares at uther and waits until the doors shut to speak, in case arthur was close enough to hear.
merlin rants and raves at uther, calls him out on his bs, and tells him to be there for his son. ofc uther isnât having any of it and yells back at merlin but merlin isnât deterred and keeps going on and on about how much of a disappointment uther is as a father and how much better arthur deserves. uther steps in close and raises his hand as if to backhand merlin but he doesnât. the two stare at each other, heated glare meeting heated glare, and finally uther mutters that he should have merlin flogged for speaking like that to him. merlin doesnât waver as he welcomes uther too but he couldnât just stand by and watch uther tear arthur apart anymore.
uther slowly lowers his hand and turns his back on merlin but he hasnât given in to merlinâs argument so he switches tactics. he asks how uther expects arthur to be the sure, determined, and just king he is meant to be if uther wonât let him grow into his power and autonomy, let him learn his lessons and apply them as king. uther finally lowers his shoulders at merlinâs argument which just irks him more as uther clearly cares more for arthur as a future king rather than a son but he doesnât point that out.
uther turns to stare at merlin and asks if he really just disrespected the king so horribly just for arthur, merlin nods once without hesitation and echoes âfor arthurâ. utherâs lips twitch despite himself and he nods and says how he is glad arthur has someone like merlin looking out for him. merlin tests his luck once more and responds that arthur could have more than just him, he could have a dad, not just a father.
merlin watches as arthur reports back to his father the next week about an expedition they had gone on to protect one of camelotâs outlying villages from raiders and uther grins wide and pulls arthur into an awkward side hug thatâs more a complicated pat on his shoulder but at least itâs something. uther says openly how heâs proud and that camelot should feel lucky to have a prince who is looking out for her.
arthur is stunned and manages a slight bow to his father as he leaves (merlin and uther exchanging a glance and nod as he passes). merlin watches arthur as the room empties and a wide, proud smile stretches across his face. merlin feels warm and fuzzy at the sight and chuckles as arthur spins and pulls merlin into a similar side hug while laughing loudly. the two of them have the most fun that day, spending the rest of the daylight goofing off and running around with no particular goal in mind other than enjoying the day. itâs the happiest merlin has seen arthur be for such a long period of time.
#obviously uther is a pos and doesnt remain like this for long before falling back into his anger and rage and belittling arthur again#merlin is disappointed but not surprised#he gives up on uther and decides to just be arthurâs support#OR#uther tests it out and makes a deal with merlin that heâll be more supportive of arthurâs independence#but if he steps too far out of line or grows too arrogant as to stand against him or makes a big mess of things#it will be merlin who suffers the punishment rather than arthur#this results in merlin getting dragged down to the dungeons and getting whipped#uther wanted it to be a public flogging but knew how much merlin meant to him so he decided to do it in private so arthur wouldnt blow up#merlin hides his wounds and uther returns to his shitty ways and takes the bit of confidence arthur acquired#years later established merthur and arthur is tracing merlins scars in bed and asks about the whip marks on his back#merlin hesistates bc he doesnt want to tell arthur the truth and tries to lie but arthur calls him out on it#âwe said no more liesâ and merlin folds and tells him#arthur (guilt ridden) and merlin (protector of pretty prat partner) have sad sex đđ„đđ#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#fanfiction#fanfic#fic#merthur#uther pendragon#cw parental abuse

Whenever a character says- "We were best friends- no, we were more than that..."
My head pops up like a meerkat like "is something queer afoot? Pls đ"
But at the same time I'm bracing for the-
"We were like brothers/sisters/siblings"
#so I'm watching Nautilus#just finished ep 5!#its good so far- although they keep leaving the episodes on cliffhangers!#and then resolving it v quick at the start of the next ep#but i like the characters- story- dialogue- action and sets are incredible!#im putting it out there that i get bisexual/pansexual vibes from Nemo tbh#im probably wrong but đ€·đ»ââïž no one tell me tho ive still got 5 eps to go!#also i adore Archie sm#the cutest bravest doggo#anyways!#nautilus#nautilus 2024#nautilus series#nautilus on prime#nautilus prime#captain nemo#dakkar nemo#lgbt#lgbtq#lgbtqia#my rambles#merthurians prat and idiot#nautilus spoilers#nautilus spoiler#nautilus 2024 spoilers#nautilus 2024 spoiler#nautilus series spoilers#nautilus series spoiler#nautilus prime spoilers#nautilus prime spoiler

HERE'S A THOUGHT~!
In the MCU, the Time Stone was found by the sorcerer Agamotto thousands of years ago.
"The Ancient One is the latest in a long line of Sorcerer Supreme, going back thousands of years to the father of the Mystic Arts, the mighty Agamotto. The same sorcerer who created the Eye you so recklessly borrowed."
âWong
So this dude, someone who was according to official papers was "a being" who was not human. And from the looks of it found the stone on earth.
Now here is my thought about this, what if this guy found the Time Stone in the Crystal Cave all those years ago. It would make sense for the crystals in the cave to have been affected by the time stone and have the properties of possible futures.
The Birth Place of Magic.
Agamotto might have taken the time stone but some of it's powers still remained there in the cave. Druids and other magic folk revere and fear the cave, cause if not careful one could go mad with all the possible outcomes of the future.
Merlin, long after Camelot, ends up back in the Crystal Cave and witnessing all the possibilities of the future. He learns much but also goes slightly mad for a time.
Then at some point he travels and finds Kamar-Taj. There he can feel the Time Stone but much more powerful then the cave. It calls to him, recognising Merlin as a worthy wielder or fellow kin.
Now I'm completely for the concept of Merlin being Magic itself and if Magic came to be in that cave, Merlin is a part of the time stone as we saw in the first episode of Merlin where he basically stopped time saving Gaius and slowing it down saving Arthur.
If the Infinity Stones were created by the Big Bang from 6 singularities, what if there was a 7th one.
Magic.
Diverse and capable of all 6 aspects of existance.
Making Merlin one of the very few to be capable of touching the stone itself, along with the other five.
What do you think?
#bbc merlin#merlin#merlin emrys#crossover#merlin fandom#the avengers#marvel#time stones#avengers endgame#avengers infinity war#thoughts#Merlin is the God of Magic#Merlin is Immortal#He also is possibly a Celestial#Merlin wants a break#He goes to Kamar-Taj#Time Stone is like âYou are my Son/Kin.â#Merlin yeets out of there#Merlin: I already got the destiny talk from a Dragon. Not happening again with a stone. Nope! Going to Fiji!#Time Stone: I can tell you when you're boyfriend returns~#Merlin: ... *grumbles* Shitty stones and bloody lazy prats.

gwaine is the truest goddamn guy and such a good friend to merlin. if I was merlin right now I'd be like let's stop risking our lives for that fuckwit arthur and turn back, I'm sure he can manage this quest of his on his own. and if he doesn't, well
#IT'S AS THEY SAY. HE IS A PRAT#nor's rambles#bbc merlin#i'm jumping ship merthur is out mergwaine is in

wip thing...
of my bg3 avatar hellebore. i also did some casual nude studies of my 3 characters which i'll put under a cut... rather unlike me after all. (so WARNING for abrupt non-sexual full Artistic nudity lol...,,,,) (< won't be making a habit of this)
they mean the world to me
#bg3 spoilers#?? idk. gith look so..Emaciated. And long. i guess we don't eat on the astral plane :) anyway..well..too much to say.....#it is very very very depressing having to live in the Real World after that final playthrough meant so very much to me.#i normally feel Hope & suchlike after finishing a highly immersive emotional game..but it's too hard this time and it hurtsssss lol yippee#i appreciate bg3 very much for being a place where i could access the concept of nudity & such like in a way that finally felt comfortable.#bodies are inherently non-sexual. they just Are a Fact of Life. this game being NORMAL about nudity from the character creation screen#makes it possible for someone like me to actually have a chance at accessing sensuality in a way that feels comfortable from there.#dont feel like putting it into words further. im ace. just very grateful to this game. even despite the horrors i will never ever forget it#augoh..gugf.. want to go back. my friends & love are in there.....i'm supposed to just move on? in the real world??? THIS place???? UHH????#my characters canonically look like that too!! i see them as intersex and not so much trans. They just look that way.#Diversity win!!! the people who enacted horrors upon you and are trying to kill you again respect your pronouns!!!! <3#I FAILED HONOUR MODE IN THE STUPIDEST WAY POSSIBLE..ACCIDENTALLY TOUCHED AN ITEM. MY LOVER TOUCHED SOME BLOOD-TOUCHED RAG ITEM @ THE CRECHE#AND MY PEOPLE MASSACRED US... YOU BELOVED PRAT. OF COURSE IT WOULD BE YOU AND IN THIS WAY#grateful for love triangle chaos...INTENSE EX DRAMA... IT HAD MAJOR REPURCUSSIONS THIS TIME...ohh so very much happened ohh my dear#truly don't know how to face the Real World now for real. I Don't Know. something has snapped. ive realised twt just makes me feel sad lol#if something in my spare time isn't at least half as fun as bg3....like.. it's not good enough. god we only have one wild and precious life#being Online makes me feel a loneliness so wretched and painful and horrible i really don't think this is the answer.#Why did you even start drawing in the first place? Why did you start this?#For real..the need to work this out and decide what on earth i'm going to do now has presented itself. Why try to get better..why be online#someone who has an imagination that can keep them so happy and fulfilled...has no business also feeling a loneliness as profound as this.#why was someone THIS introverted and withdrawn and anxious also cursed with such a restlessness?#What are you going to DO now? because hellebore and their lover are fine....... So what about you...?#hellebore..đđ AUUGHH!! I JUST WANT TO GO TO MY BED IN THE INN...PLAY ON MY VIOLIN THAT'S WHAT I'D DO!!!! i'd drink some ALE DAMNIT!!!!!#i was rereading My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness- the only time i've seen this level of emotional isolation depicted-and was grateful.#but then i read her latest book and now she has a debilitating substance abuse situation and it's upsetting.#I hope she finds what she was looking for. I hope we all make it. kind of wild that i dont do such major self-sabotage at this point myself#I truly think anyone who manages to find dear friends and achieve fulfillment and happiness with others outside themselves are amazing.#I see it happen from my tower. i hope we all make it. I hope we can make it through everything to come.#Why did i say all this on drawings of my characters naked. ah who even cares any more......

thinking about how it's almost worse that the true lancelot thanked merlin at the end of 4x09 because instead of having some comfort in thinking that the shade was only the image of lancelot, merlin has to live with the knowledge that his lancelot was there the entire time, locked away, and he did nothing to help him until it was too late
#i just#*distant screaming*#any way you slice mercelot it's just a fucking tragedy really#lancelot sacrifices himself for merlin#and merlin takes on the guilt of it should have been him#then lancelot thanks merlin#and merlin has the guilt of not trying to help lancelot sooner#man is just out there trying to let merlin know he cares so deeply for him#but it's all salt in the wound in the end#and it's fascinating how love with merlin is so intrinsically linked to pain#like how he cries when he kisses freya for the first time#or will taking an arrow for arthur (bc for some reason that prat is important to merlin so therefore has some importance to will)#and i don't need to go into details about balinor#idk#like i know there's been a lot of stuff about merlin losing everyone he loves#but the intensity of pain *caused* by love merlin had for them and the fact that in some cases love was the reason for the loss?#got me thinking#and crying#mercelot#merlin#lancelot#bbc merlin#lit talks

The amount of people who say they don't do discourse then do discourse gets me every time.
I, on the other hand, know I'm a magpie for messes and therefore make no such promises.
#syscourse#discourse#this is an indirect call out post - if you say you don't do it because you know it's bad for you#but you engage#even if people are being prats#you are playing yourselves and are likely triggered#go do the grounding exercises#make a cup of tea#and work out how to be productive with that energy#i assure you it's not in this god foresaken place#this is aimed at multiple moots and their followers and discord chats tonight and comes from a place of love

went from characters with vague aspec vibes making silly mistakes to like explicitly aspec coded characters actively doing toxic aspec things
#is that bad#is it bad to have terrible aspec representation. is it fine if i'm aspec#it's the 60s it must be hard being aspec in an amatonormative world they have to do weird things to get by#basically one girl gets her boyfriend addicted to amphetamines bc she heard they lower libido#this other guy just keeps testing out on other people then fucking off when he realises he doesn't fancy them#and also keeps trying to stop his friend's engagement bc he doesn't want to be aromantically alone#btw both these people have some sort of relationship with the same guy who isn't aspec#i need to make him worse actually. he used to be a prat but i accidentally made him kind of nicer so now he doesn't deserve this đ#i need to make him an arsehole again#everyone in window gazing is a prat <3#(oh yeah obviously this is about window gazing)#but yeah I've been watching too much moral orel and peep show so terrible people who fuck over other people have been on the mind lately#ramble

When it comes to Charlotte all i can think is maybe she would get her own story (or leaving the path open for fanfic) where she get's redeemed
#rubinrot#charlotte montrose#is a interesting beast wish when she was behaving like a beast she got something else to balance it out#tempted to write a fanfic where gwen gets to yell at everyone for expecting her to learn everything and be perfect#in less than a month and charlotte gets her own yelling at the men#first read thoughts#still haven't watched all the films (only the first)#let's see how i feel when watching all the films (but first finish the shows i'm watching)#...eun-yo from sweet home and charlotte are similar random thought will 100% revisit later#idk know what to tag this as#i enjoyed the books but god i wish things happened#like the ending was a little longer like the teacher (called it) was a fucking prat then it was buisness as usual apparently#kerstin gier

It's pretty insane that saying that arwen could have been done so much better is met with such disdain. And the way I'm seen as an Arthur stan or Gwen hater by saying that. I'm literally saying the both of them deserved better..?
Gwen (and Arthur let's be completely real here) was a victim of a show that was chronically inconsistent in their characterizations of people. She suffered (as Arthur did) from a story line that I'm sorry is just really bad. And you can still love Gwen and Arthur from legend. But I can still say this interpretation falls short in showing the growth of their relationship in a way that feels real and not just .. necessary.
#bbc merlin#once again. no this is not because i ship merthur#i think there are moments i really like of Arthur and Gwen interacting and i think merlins interactions w both of them are sweet#but it feels so forced#youre telling me yall didnt feel the difference between s1 and 2 and on?#you didnt notice how they went from polite but distant to đ from nowhere#if they had just shown us some sort of hate to friends to lovers but it was rushed#in the span of one episode she goes from detesting him to kissing him and liking it and then later being lovesick#and for arthur he goes from learning modesty in s1 to becoming a complete prat again (for the Jokes you understand)#to completely lovesick with her and angsty because he doesnt want to have a secret relationship and his father wont accept her#that rationale is fine if it didnt just come out of fuckin nowhere#that's all im saying#its so rushed#and for what?? they could have spent time and energy having that build up with merlin watching it happen#and instead the writers decide to just tell us instead idk#but apparently that means i hate gwen and woc and whatever other bullshit
