mordred through time (movies, tv shows, opera and musicals)
Part 5: From 2018 to 2023 (and 2024)
Other Parts: Part 1: From 1949 to 1981 -> here Part 2: From 1982 to 2002 -> here Part 3: From 2002 to 2010 -> here Part 4: From 2014 to 2017 -> here
For this last part I wanted to talk a bit about queer Mordred!
First of all, Mordred is one of the main characters who is written as LGBTQ in novels and other media. My arthurian excel list of queer arthurian characters (arthurian list of everything, in the LGBTQ sheet) is up to a few years ago, but the numbers seem to be: LGBTQ Lancelot in 16 media, Arthur in 13 media which is equal to Mordred who is also LGBTQ in 13 media (two being interpretations: White's "The once and future king" and "Fall of Camelot" fromt he Time Life books). Most of these are, of course, novels, with the first ever appearance of LGBTQ Mordred in 1956 Borowsky's novel "The Queen's knight", where Mordred is a gay man. Then in 1982 Cherryh's "Port Eternity" has asexual Mordred, even if the characters could be debated on how arthurian they are. We then jump to 1997 with the short story "The Pretender" by Stephen Dedman, with mlm Mordred.
2005 "A Connecticut Fashionista in King Arthur's Court" by Mari Mancusi (gay Mordred) 2006 "Mordred bastard son" by Douglas Clegg (gay Mordred) 2008 "The Silurian series" by Wilson (gay Mordred) 2012 "The Prince and the Program" by Mercer (bisexual Mordred) 2014 "Mordred and the king" by Curlovich (gay Mordred)
In movies, shows and musicals instead we could consider 2008 musical Mordred the first iteration of queer Mordred (part 3). This is of course an interpretation and it might probably just be a case of queer-coding of villains that reminds of Disney movies. Still, there is no doubt Bobby Steggert, who is an out gay actor (at the time, now he is a therapist) played an obvious queer coded Mordred.
It is only in 2014 that we have an explicit LGBTQ Mordred with "High Noon over Camelot" which also for the first time ever introduces Mordred as a trans man. From 2017 we also get introduced to Fate's Mordred (Fate/Aprocrypha and subsequient movies and stage shows) whose gender has always been a debated topic. I already talked about it in part 4, but Mordred in Fate is definitely written as a non binary character. In 2018 the webseries "The Campaign for Camelot" has Mordred as a protagonist and mlm, with a romance as well (another male character in the show). The last time we saw Mordred with a romance was back in the 60s, in the movie "Sword of Lancelot"!
I think the most interesting thing is that Mordred is without a doubt the character who is the most interpreted as LGBTQ in movies and tv shows. From memory, the only other characters are Morgana (in the Netflix's "Cursed", webseries "Legend" and "The Campaign for Camelot"), Lancelot (in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", "High Noon over Camelot" and "Spamalot"), Galahad (in Josh Ritter's song "Galahad"), Arthur ("High noon over Camelot") and Merlin (webseries "Legend").
2018 Arthur et les enfants de la Table Ronde: This is a two-seasons French animated show that narrates the adventures of Arthur, an orphan kid living in Uther's kingdom. The show has other arthurian characters as kids (Guinevere, Gawain, Sagramore, Morgana) and Mordred himself is also a kid. Morgause and Igraine (Morgana's sisters) are the main villain and Mordred (their cousin) is also a villain. The voice from the clip is from the Italian dub but the original French voice actor was Ricardo Richter.
2018 The Campaign for Camelot (webseries): This websites (you can watch it here) is a complete 78 short episodes series where different modern arthurian characters decide to run for the school board against Arthur's wishes. Mordred is one of the main protagonists and he is introduced in episode 7. Over the series he also develops a romance with Izzy (Iddawg, from “The Dream of Rhonabwy”). To clarify, in the clip Mordred is the guy without the glasses and the darker shirt! And he is played by Dylan Martin.
2018/2019 OSK's Knights of the Round Table musical: This clip is from a recording but a dvd also exists. OSK is a Japanese theater company of all women. Mordred was interpreted by Momo Mika. The story of the musical follows the classical Arthur-Guinevere-Lancelot triangle with Mordred appearing (as Arthur's son) in the second part of the story.
2020 Arthur and Merlin: Knights of Camelot: A much less exciting movie than I expected, focusing on Arthur trying to reclaim Camelot after Mordred betrays him. Mordred (played by Joel Phillimore) plays Arthur's son and the villain of the story. He often uses threats of sexual violence towards Guinevere.
2020 Fate/Grand Order the movie: Camelot: Another installment in the Fate series. This movie is set in the Grand Order timeline (different from Apocrypha), but Mordred is still a very similar character and they are still voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro. The original title is Fate/Grand Order: Shinsei Entaku Ryouiki Camelot 1 - Wandering; Agateram as in 2020 only part 1 released. Part 2 is called Fate/Grand Order: Shinsei Entaku Ryouiki Camelot - Paladin; Agateram and was released in 2021. Basically part one is Wandering Agateram and part two is Paladin Agateram. Different from other Fate series, this one is set in the past (in 1273 A.D.).
2021 Fate/Grand Order: The Grand Temple of Time: Another movie based on the videogame Fate/Grand Order... please do not ask me the plot, I just know Mordred is not as present here as in the previous movie or as in Fate/Apocrypha.
2021 Le Roi Arthus opera: This is a 1895 opera written by Ernest Chausson and sung in French. I already talked about it before, just know this is the most recent iteration of it and the only video we have of the opera performed in arthurian clothes (the previous filmed performance was a modernization). Mordred was played by baritone Justin Austin.
2023 Camelot Revival: The return of the musical Camelot! There are a few bootlegs around (at least 4 of them) if you want to watch it, but I am not allowed to share them. Still, I got them from asking a gift on the reddit BootlegsGifts. As I still have to watch it I cannot comment on any possible difference here, just know this version was extremely successful. Mordred is played by Taylor Trensch, and Hawley Gould was his understudy (not in audio).

i read all of mordred’s dialogue in death the kid english dub voice.
The only voices my characters have are the ones I badly act out in my head with my mental voice (not my real voice). Stop imagining this right now.

Finally found confirmation of what I suspected for a while now, Artemis and Tamamo were both Erica Lindbeck in the Grand Carnival dub. She has great range.
In addition to being “English Miyuki Sawashiro” for Fate dubs (Mordred in Apo, Nightingale in Babylonia, now Artemis), it seems she’s also been cast as “English Chiwa Saito” now since she’s Tamamo and d’Eon too.
So basically if you want to know what wacky-mode Tamamo would sound like in English, look up Magilou from Tales of Berseria.

Content Warning: This fic is going to contain disturbing subject matter from extreme violence, abuse, potential racism, and implications of sexual violence. Considering Mark Jefferson, and other LiS2 antagonists like Lisbeth Fischer will be featured in forthcoming chapters, that is a warning in on itself.
Alright, here is chapter six.
Sorry if some of you where waiting. I would have had this up a week or so ago, but I ended up losing the files for it. Twice. As a result I spent the better part of my time rewriting what I lost and saving them to different files, and spent my day editing the chapter as it is now.
I wanted to introduce Daniel's arc this chapter, but his bits are still being written. Between this, an Until Dawn tie in story I am writing, as well as Love's Sacrifices, I am going to be busy. That said, in this chapter we get our proper introduction to Mary Reid's arc.
Tumblr media
And after a few chapters of hyping him up, we get our proper intro to one of this stories secondary antagonists in this take on Mordred. Yes, that Mordred.
Now to clarify something, that I probably shouldn't; only chapters dubbed Route A or B can refer to a specific ending these chapters refer too. If not listed as such, they applicable to both Bae or Bay endings, and are written neutrally in a way that could refer to either. 
I wrote a list of characters in this story who survive the storm (Kate Marsh, Dana Ward, etc) for Route A, and will be featured in both routes. In neutral chapters, "Survivors" can either refer to Dark Room/Jefferson's survivors, or survivors of the storm, and "The Incident" refers to either the storm or Chloe's death.

Taking mugshot should not have been funny, but with Toby photobombing Jim and I, it was pretty humorous. Mom came by with Mr. Strickler to pick us up from the station. I sighed sitting in the back with Toby, checking over my bag to make sure the police didn’t confiscate my lance, now dubbed Midnight thanks to Toby. “We are in so much trouble, it’s not even funny,” I remarked to Jim, sitting in the front seat, watching mom and Mr. Strickler walk out of the station.
Jim sighed, watching them, seeing her disappointed face.
“So, who else do you think is hiding an evil troll face? Coach Lawrence? Steve?” Toby asked, going over everyone he wasn’t particularly fond of. He gasped looking out to mom and Mr. Strickler, “What if Strickler’s one of them?”
Jim rolled his eyes and shook his head at the thought, glancing at Strickler, “Strickler’s been teaching history at Arcadia Oaks High since the dawn of history.” He looks back to Toby and me, “if he’s one, I’m one.”
I snort a laugh, shaking my head at the thought of Jim being a troll. “You’d look ridiculous,” I stated, grabbing Toby’s phone, looking at the picture of the bridge that was hidden in the museum. “Why is this so important?” I asked, handing the phone to Jim.
Jim took it, eyes widening, “I know where I’ve seen this bridge before! It’s the same one Blinky was talking about.”
“What? The Killa-thingy bridge? That’s, like, ancient history, right?” Toby asked, peering at the photo again.
“Killahead Bridge, the portal into the Darklands.” I corrected Toby, shrugging at their confused looks, “You left ‘A Brief Recapitulation of Troll Lore’ Volume 1 out on the coffee table. Of course, I was going to read it.”
“They’re trying to break Gunmar out.” Jim realized, looking at the photo again, “this is bad! Like, ‘Goodbye, Arcadia’ bad. As soon as we get home, we’re going to Blinky.” He decided.
Mom got in the car, still talking to Strickler as he leaned on the window next to Jim, “You didn’t have to go through all this trouble, Mr. Strickler.”
“Please, ‘Walter.’ I’m sorry we had to meet under this unfortunate circumstance.” He states, looking to Jim and me for a moment.
“There must be some way I can repay you. Coffee? Dinner? Appendix removal?” Mom asked, smiling. I looked up in disbelief, she was flirting… with Strickler.
Strickler laughed, “I… Coffee would be a delight. And a rain check on the appendectomy,” he joked back. Jim, Toby, and I exchanged looks, not too fond of the obvious flirting.
“Looking forward to it, Walter.” She smiled, unaware that Toby was shipping it from the look on his face, and Jim and I were stunned.
Strickler chuckled turning to face Jim and me, “Watch yourself, Young Atlas.” He directed to Jim, “Next time the consequences could be more severe.” He then looked to the back seat at me, “and Young Mordred, you don’t want to be the cause of a knight’s fall.” He stated, chuckling before heading off. I frowned, not liking the implication of name he had given me, or what I might cause.
“Did you just ask my teacher out on a date?” Jim asked, still stunned.
“Oh, don’t you make this about me. You three broke into a museum!” Mom began lecturing, upset with us. “And for this?” She asked, holding the chubby tracker up, “You are grounded until you apologize to that woman.” She declared, driving home. “You got me?” she asked, pointing at us.
“Yes, mom.” Jim and I said in unison.
“Yes, Dr. Lake,” Toby said, looking down.
Once home we were told to go to our rooms.
I ran upstairs and quickly stuffed pillows under my blankets to make it look like I was sleeping. I sighed, climbing out the window to meet Jim. “Ready?”
He nodded and we took off to meet Toby, running to the canal to Trollmarket.
We ran straight to Blinky’s who was with Arrrgh at the bar, showing him the photo. “Are you certain?” He asked, squinting all six eyes at the photo. “Are you unquestionable, unequivocally-” he was asking Jim, over and over.
“I’m certain,” Jim answered for the hundredth time since we arrived.
I sighed, “Blinky it was the same bridge illustrated in “A Brief Recapitulation of Troll Lore’,” I stated.
“Could be anything,” Arrrgh said, frowning at the tiny photo.
“I concur.” Blinky said, “Tobias’ photographic skills are less than exemplary.”
“Okay, so, it’s a little blurry!” Toby yelled, “You try taking a picture while hauling butt, mister!”
“Okay, well, what about the curator?” Jim asked. “How could a person just change like that?”
Arrrgh began speaking in troll, “Tell about changelings.” He told Blinky.
Blinky groaned, covering his mouth while speaking to Arrrgh, “You know we can’t talk about changelings; do you want a panic?” He asked Arrrgh.
“What are Changelings?” I asked, rolling my eyes when Blinky looked stunned.
“I forget you can do that.” He said, shaking his head.
“What? What is it?” Jim asked, looking between us.
“Changeling.” Arrrgh answers as Blinky spits out his drink, all occupants of the bar turned to face us. Blinky chuckled nervously, patting Arrrgh’s mouth, playing it off as a joke.
“Not helping.” He told Arrrgh as we all leaned closer into the table, talking quietly.
“Sorry,” Arrrgh apologized.
“Changelings haven’t been talked about in quite some time,” Blinky explained to us, turning to a troll that got to close, watching is. “Do you mind?” He asked the troll.
The troll rolled his eyes and shrugged as he walked “Whatever,” He said, then stopped on Arrrgh's side of the table, still watching us. We all turned to look at him waiting. He huffed and walked off, finally leaving with a “Fine,” as he rolled his eyes.
“In the olden days,” Blinky began to explain, “GummGumms stole out young and did something unnatural to change them. Their sole purpose: to spy on the world above.”
“What did they do to them?” I asked, frowning.
“Nasty business,” Arrrgh answered, shaking his head sadly “Very messy.”
Blinky waved for Jim to follow him. “These are the very reasons I doubt your certainty. I don’t question you saw a bridge, but Killahead? It would take years to collect all of those stones. Decades, even.” Blinky explained how it would take an army of changelings to acquire and build the bridge.
“And yet, three of us saw it.” I state as we all walk to the entrance of the bar.”
“We have to tell someone,” Toby states next to me, “This our city, too.”
“Who? Our court-appointed psychiatrist?” Jim asks. “They’re never going to believe us.” Jim sighed placing his head on the table.
Draal entered the bar, smirking at Jim, “Well, if it isn’t the piece of flesh, I’ll pound into pancakes tomorrow.” He grinned, “I look forward to your pain, and I’ll drink to your death.” He stated, the look in his eye was one I knew meant teasing, he had decided he wouldn’t kill Jim unless he further insulted his honor.
Jim turned quickly to Blinky, panicking, “Death?! What is he talking about? I thought this was only a rematch.” He asked Blinky.
“To challenge a troll’s honor can only end in ruin. It’s all right there in chapter three of ‘A Brief Recap-‘” Blinky began, finger pointed in the air before his face fell, “You still haven’t read the book.” He states, leveling Jim with a disgruntled look.
“Now, hold on,” Jim said, looking between us and Draal, “This fight, I don’t know, maybe we can, um… postpone it?” He asked.
I paled, shaking my head quickly trying to get Jim to shut up. Draal smirked, “Postpone, you say. What a trainer!” He laughed, turning to Blinky, “Does everyone in your company forget how to fight?”
My eyes went wide at his remark, crossing my arms over my chest, leveling Draal with my own disappointed stare. Arrrgh huffed, knowing the remark was a jab at him.
“There are things that have been brought to our attention.” Jim tried to explain, “Things that have serious implications.”
Blinky began to panic, “No, no, no, Master Jim!” He shushed Jim quickly.
Draal got in Jim and Blinky’s face, more insulted by Blinky, “By Kanjigar’s honor, I would have made your death swift and painless, but, for that act of cowardice, I will show you no mercy when I take back what’s rightfully mine.” He snarls at Jim, walking off he turns back slightly, addressing Jim again. “Bid farewell to your loved ones, Jim ‘the Dead Meat.” He grunted, smirking as he walked off.
“So, still going to train with him?” Toby asked arms crossed over his chest, glaring at Draal’s back.
I gave him an annoyed look before clasping Jim’s shoulder. “I’ll explain what’s going on, I’m sure he will understand if he knows what we ran into,” I told Jim, giving Blinky a pointed look.
Jim sighs but nods, “Okay, I think I need more training, in case I die tomorrow…” he frowns walking out with Toby, Blinky, and Arrrgh.
I quickly head over to Draal, sitting at the bar with him. “You are angered by my decision.” He stated, seeing the look on my face.
“No, I’m pissed Blinky wouldn’t let Jim explain what’s going on to you, so I’m going to.” I snapped, turning on the stool to face him. “We ran into a changeling. The museum curator in our town, Ms. Nomura, she’s a changeling. She’s working with goblins for sure, most likely Bular, and they’re building something.”
Draal fully turned to face me when I mentioned changelings, jaw-dropping at Nomura’s name, “What… what are they building?” He finally asks, keeping his voice low.
“Killahead bridge,” I stated, frowning. “I saw it Draal, while we were fighting her, it was in the museum.” Draal turned back to the bar, deep in thought. I waited with him quietly, hoping he would understand.
“I understand the serious implications, the fleshbag spoke of, but I can’t take back my word.” He said, looking over to me, frowning.
Sighing I nod, “I don’t understand it, but it’s your culture, I just hope things work out tomorrow. I don’t want to lose either of you.”
After sitting in silence for a while, we parted ways. I headed home with Jim and Toby.
“Draal understands what is going on, but he can’t take his word back,” I explained, frowning.
Jim groaned, “Then I have to find a way to win.”
“What about finishing the fight?” Toby asked, frowning.
“I’m a human,” Jim said, giving me a small smile, “finishing the fight doesn’t mean killing.”
I smiled, hoping that Jim would be able to win, knowing it was the safest option for everyone involved.
The next day, Jim spent most of the day quiet, carrying around four letters. After school, I noticed he only had three left. “What happened to the fourth?” I asked him as we walked home, planning dinner.
“Well, I slipped it into Claire’s bag. You know, just in case.” He explained.
I helped Jim with dinner and about halfway through I realized that we were making all of mom’s favorites. Jim and I were tense all through dinner, but mom hadn’t noticed. Happily chatting as we cleaned. “Oh! That was delicious. I don’t know what I’d do without you, kiddo. I’d be ten pounds lighter, but…”
“Well, you deserved it,” Jim said, washing the dishes.
“Shrimp cakes?” Mom asked, “Gosh, I haven’t had those since… since…” she trailed off frowning at the memory.
“Dad made them for us?” Jim asked.
Mom chuckled softly, “I didn’t think you were old enough to remember.”
“Oh, I remember enough.” Jim said, “I remember how his beard would scratch my face when he hugged me. How he used to make you laugh. But, most of all, how much he hurt you when he left.” He said, glaring at the fridge.
I frowned during the exchange, shaking my head slightly at the memory of uncle Jim leaving when we were kids.
“Jim, where is this coming from?” Mom asked, turning to him, worried.
“No matter what happens to me, I would never leave you like that.” He told her, “At least, well…” he chuckled softly, “not by choice. You’re an amazing person, and I just want you to know I’ll always love you.”
I smiled softly, watching them.
Mom smiled, giving Jim a teasing look, “Don’t you start that talk with me. I’m still hoping you’ll end up close at an in-state college. We’ll wrap these up for tomorrow.” Mom said, helping me with the leftovers. “You have to give me that waffle recipe. If there’s anything I could eat forever, it’s waffles.” She said smiling.
“It’s here when you need it,” Jim stated, slipping one of the letters into mom’s favorite cooking book. I sighed as we all headed off to our rooms.
The day of the fight had come, Jim, Toby, and I all skipped school. We headed into Trollmarket, going straight to the forge. The stands began to fill, Vendel standing near the ledge I had destroyed. “Gather Troll kind!” He announced, “The Trollhunter had laid a challenge before the son of his predecessor, and you shall all bear witness to the ensuing battle, which will be one of the ages!” I was standing with Blinky, Arrrgh, and Toby, huffing at Vendel’s announcement.
“Hey, I… I want you to have these,” Jim stated, handing Toby and me our letters. I frown taking the one addressed to me.
“What’s this?” Toby asked, concerned.
“It says everything I want to say,” Jim explained.
“You promised me tacos.” Toby smiled, poking Jim’s shoulder.
Jim scoffed, smiling, “Now is not the time for lunch, Tobes.”
“Last week, I brought breakfast and lunch from the Taco Truck. You said, ‘Next time on me.’ You’re going to get this letter back unopened after the fight, and when we get back, we’ll get tacos.” He declared, smiling. Jim smiled and nodded.
“Draal, son of Kanjigar, son of Tarigar,” Vendel announced, “Draal ‘the Destroyer,’ come forth!”
Draal rolled out of the cave he was waiting in, landing on his feet in the middle of the forge, waving to the crowd of Trolls as they cheered. I smirked slightly as his showmanship, shaking my head in amusement. Face going blank as Blinky tells Jim its time for the fight. Going over the rules, Jim asking about Draal’s weaknesses.
“Surprise him.” Was all I had time to get out before Vendel began to speak again.
“And now, Draal’s combatant, James Lake Jr., son of… Ba-Bur-Rah.” Vendel sounded out mom’s name. “Come forth, human Trollhunter!”
I watched as Jim walked out, donning the armor. “Fight from your heart, Master Jim. It’s strong, stronger than any rock.” Blinky yelled after Jim. Sighing he softly spoke again and the gate came down, separating us from the fight, “And certainly, stoner than mine.”
I clasp Blinky’s shoulder, bowing my head slightly before facing the fight, nodding to Draal when our eyes met.
“Begin!” Vendel’s voice range throughout the forge.
One of the guards posted by us activated the forge. Draal and Jim were lifted into the air as the arena shifted. Draal made the first move, launching at Jim. Jim threw himself off the ledge he was on to a lower tier of the arena to avoid Draal. Draal followed him quickly, and true to his word, I could tell he wasn’t holding back. He grabbed Jim by the leg, spun around before letting him go, throwing him off the tier and into the wall of the forge. Jim slid down and almost fell into the gears maneuvering the arena. Draal took his boulder stance and launched himself up the wall, rolling down to pick up speed, heading straight for Jim.
My hands tighten on the stone of the gate, separating us from the fight, watching intently as the fight dragged on. Noting different strategies Jim could use, praying he could think fast enough.
Jim dodged as Draal rolled by, preparing for him to come around again. As Draal neared Jim again, Jim threw daylight straight for him, stopping Draal’s roll dead in its tracks, causing his to look up at Jim in shock.
I sighed in relief, that the sword hadn’t hurt Draal, and that Jim had found a technique to stop his rolling, though he wouldn’t be able to use it again.
“I never taught him that, did you?” Blinky asks me.
I shook my head and Toby yelled, “He’s a natural!”
He tried to use it right away, but Draal simply knocked the sword away and gave chase.
“Ten whole seconds and he’s not dead! That’s a fortuitous sign.” Blinky remarked proudly.
“Don’t jinx,” Arrrgh commented as we watch Jim run by screaming, Draal close behind. Draal was able to launch himself in front of Jim, striking him to the ground. The armor glowed as it strengthened against the blow, protecting Jim. He tossed Jim up onto the moving arena like a volleyball, heading after him quickly. The arena rotated, throwing Jim back to the ground level. Draal landed behind him, slowly stalking him. Jim glared up at him as he rolled over. “Rule number three!” He yelled, kicking Draal in the crotch, everyone in the arena shuddered. I winced then watched as Jim slipped behind Draal while he was distracted by the pain, catching his breath.
Draal stood, looking around confused for Jim, Jim staying directly behind him as he turned.
“He found Draal’s blind spot!” Blinky cheered, shaking Toby.
Jim turned to look at one of the swinging blades, limping over to it quickly. I frown, understanding his plan “You cannot be the Trollhunter!” Draal was yelling, still looking for Jim, “You’re a boy! I am the son of Kanjigar!”
Jim positioned himself in front of the opening the blade would swing through, glaring at Draal’s words. “And I am Jim, son of Barbara.” He stated as Draal turned, stalking forward with Jim in his sight. “And the amulet chose me!” He yelled, jumping out of the way and the blade swung out, slamming into Draal’s chest and launching him off the side of the forge.
“Draal!” I yelled, scared before seeing his hand holding onto the ledge, I slammed my fists against the gate, surging magic into them, wanting to help him.
Blinky frowned as all the Trolls in the arena began to chant “Finish the Fight!”
Jim walked over to Draal, summoning the sword, he glared up at all the trolls in the stand before plunging the blade into the ground, using it to hold him up as he leaned over, offering his hand to Draal. I could see them exchanging words before Draal caved and took the offered hand. The armored glowed, strengthening Jim enough to pull Draal up. Then the entire crowd began to boo, yelling at Jim for not killing Draal.
I snarled at them, as soon as the gate opened, while Jim was making a speech about working together, I took off running for Draal, nodding to Jim I passed. Draal kept his head down as I approached, a look of shame etched over his face. “You should go.” He spoke softly. “My honor was destroyed; they will look down on you for this.”
I frown before looking up at Vendel, who in turn was giving me a stern look. I bared my teeth before leaning down and helping Draal up, “I need to get you somewhere safe and heal you.” I spoke, nuzzling my head under his chin, giving him an answer to his courting.
Draal stiffened, then relaxed slowly as we continued out of the arena, getting yelled at for the display.
I snarled at the yelling, getting Draal to cave near the canal exit, leaning him back against the wall. “Hold still,” I instructed, laying my hands on his chest, I began to recite the healing incantation Vendel taught me. Eyes and hands glowing a soft blue as Draal’s injuries faded.
Draal sighed, relieved of the pain. He frowned watching me. “You accepted, why? I have no honor.”
“To hell with honor!” I snapped, eyes and palms fading to normal, I launched forward, wrapping my arms around his neck, my head pressed under his chin. “The only thing I care about right now is that you’re okay.”
Draal stiffened at my outburst then sighed, hugging me. “I can’t stay here River.” He finally spoke up.
I nod, pulling back to offer my hand as he stood up, “Then let’s go home.” I said, grinning as he took my hand.
Draal was confused, taking my hand though, he grunted in surprised as I led him out to the canal and in the direction of my house. “Your home? Are you sure this is wise?”
“Well, you can’t stay in Trollmarket, and we are courting,” I stated, smiling up at him. “Mom’s hardly ever home so there isn’t a worry of her finding you. We can make an underground entrance for you in the basement so you’re not stuck in the house all day.” I reasoned with him.
Draal chuckled, poking my temple, “No wonder you’re an excellent warrior, you’re a quick strategist.”
I smiled and we continued to the house, walking in quietly through the back door, I paused seeing the kitchen was a wreck. I rushed to mom, seeing her knocked out on the dining room table.
Draal snarled quietly as we heard whistling from upstairs. “You can’t hide forever. Trust me…” Nomura’s voice came from upstairs. “I would know.”
Draal rushed up the stairs and tore her away from a door. As he knocked her out a window, I ran back out into the yard, lance at the ready as I watched the fight on the roof. Draal glanced at me before taking his boulder stance and ramming Nomura off the roof towards me. Nomura twisted over and swung her twin blades at me. I raised the lance and blocked her blades, pushing her back as Draal landed behind her. Jim had run out the back door after us, when Nomura saw him, she leaped past Draal, rushing for Jim. Draal slammed his arm into her side, knocking her away from Jim. He took a protective stance in front of him, snarling at Nomura. I stayed behind her, guard up in case she tried anything.
“What are you doing here?” She snarled at Draal.
“Delivering you pain again, Nomura,” he sneered at her, “Do not touch the Trollhunter.”
“Suddenly you’re honorable?” Smirked, tapping her blade against her sharpened teeth, “Sorry to hear about daddy. Bular always liked the way he screamed.”
I snarled at her lunging from behind. I hated her for questioning Draal’s honor but disrespecting his father, a fallen Trollhunter, that set me off. Nomura swung around to block my blade, growling at me. “Did I piss off your little mate?” She sneered. I bared my teeth at her, palms and staff glowing as magic flowed from me to the weapon, angling the blade down just enough I caught the side of her face and launched her into one of the boulders in our backyard, swinging the lance towards her, a burst of magic shot out, similar to the magic I had used on Bular and the forge wall, scorching the boulder as she dodged.
“Insult him again and I’ll take your head,” I growled out, standing between her and the boys.
She looked at the boulder then snarled, lunging for me, twisting at the last moment to plant her hoof square in my chest, knocking me down toward the house. As I hit the ground, I lost my hold on the lance and Nomura swung down to strike me.
A roar shook the ground underneath my body, Draal lunged, kneeling over me, blocking Nomura’s attacks with his forearms. Grabbing her blades, he yanked them down just enough to roar in her face before slamming her over and over into the ground. Once he was satisfied with the lawn damage, he swung her around, throwing her over several streets worth of houses. “Impure.” He sneered, spitting on the ground before turning to help me to my feet.
I smiled taking his hand. Standing, I nuzzled my nose under his jaw. A throat was cleared behind us.
As Draal and I looked over to Jim, he had daylight out, looking between us confused. “So, you’re not here to kill me?” He asked Draal.
Draal shook his head, walking to stand in front of Jim, “Not kill. Protect.”
Jim then looked to me, “And Nomura’s mate comment? What was that about?”
I turned dark red; I had forgotten Jim was there. “Well… Draal’s courting me… you know it’s like dating, but more serious.”
Jim nods slowly at my answer before sighing in relief, amulet powering down and falling off his chest to Draal’s feet. Draal picked the amulet up, looking over it for a moment before handing it to Jim, “Take it. Don’t make it weird.” He said, smiling slightly.
Once Jim took the Amulet, Draal walked into the house, surveying the damage.
“You gonna be okay?” Jim asked, following him inside.
“He’s staying with us,” I spoke up, walking with Jim.
“I am,” Draal responded to both Jim’s question and my comment, sniffing the teacup mom drank before flicking it off the table. “But, are you? Your battles won’t always be waged in arenas. You won’t have time to prepare, to study your opponent for weaknesses as you did me.” He advised Jim, walking over to him again. “You are the Trollhunter. It is time to start being afraid.” Draal sighed, shaking his head. “Since I will be staying here, I will guard your home.”
“What about mom?” Jim asked, worried about her finding Draal in the house. “I’ve already got the details planned out; Mom won’t know he’s here,” I explained, leading Jim and Draal to the basement, heading down.
Draal sniffed around the basement before opening the furnace and eating some of the coal inside. “This is nice. Here I shall protect you, my mate, and your fleshbag mother, Bar-bu-rah.” Draal decided, having to sound out mom’s name as he spoke.
Jim smiled at how Draal said her name, “Close enough.”
“Your mother will awaken soon. I protect. I do not clean.” Draal stated, settling down.
“Right. Yep. I’ll get right on that.” Jim said, heading up the stairs.
“Fleshbag,” Draal spoke up before Jim was out of sight. “Maybe you’ll make a good Trollhunter, after all. When that time comes, I will be proud to fight by your side.”
Jim smiled, placing a hand on Draal’s shoulder, “Thanks, Draal.”
“Come on Jim, I’ll help you clean up.” I smiled between the two, relieved they are getting along now.
“Right! Gotta get that done before mom wakes up!” He said rushing out of the basement with the broom.
I stopped next to Draal, “Thank you, Draal. That means a lot to him, I can tell.” I kissed his cheek before heading up to clean with Jim, not missing the smile Draal gave me on the way up.

DEEN/Stay Night
So guess who just finished watching the 2006 Fate/Stay Night adaptation by Studio DEEN. I’ve heard a lot of shit talked about this anime. Many people think that, especially in light of Ufotable’s works on the franchise in addition to the other spin-offs like the two Fate/Grand Order anime and Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya, DEEN’s version belongs in the bin, forgotten. But I disagree.
It’s not fantastic, and the source material has been adapted better by others, but it’s still I feel a good anime (CHI Dragon aside). I liked the elements lifted in from Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven’s Feel, and I greatly enjoyed the sight of pre-Apocypha Clarent.
Tumblr media
(It is now my Headcannon that Clarent looked like that before Mordred took it up, and it shifted forms to better suit Mordred’s style.)
I also liked that Gilgamesh brought forth what I believe to be Merodach. I could be wrong, in that he actually meant that the sword was Gram, but until proven otherwise I will continue to be happy I saw an animated Merodach.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Although I watch both, I usually prefer Dubbed to Subbed, and the same holds true here (although DEEN Dub Gilgamesh is definitely inferior to the current Dub Man we have for him).
And we got Caliburn.
TL;DR: Not as bad as most say, but certainly not the best either. Some good sword action. If Ufotable did Fate Route, I would probably prefer it, but we’ll have to wait and see and hope.

hello, can i has parenting headcanons for arthur if you allow it
Arthur Pendragon + Parenting Head-canons!
Requested by: anonymous
Oof I’ve been procrastinating so much this weekend. I spent a lot of time yesterday watching Naomi Osaka’s tennis matches and interviews (she’s hilarious go look it up), and then getting a huge urge to watch tennis anime afterwards. I then spent more time watching Prince of Tennis which I haven’t seen since elementary school but I still love it. Gtg learn how to hit a buggy whip shot now lmao. 
Just a personal opinion but I think Arthur would first have a girl then maybe later a boy.
Is the epitome of what’s considered a doting parent. Every whim and will of the children are followed by Arthur’s nodding, confident approval.
Kid knocks over a vase? Arthur dubs them “the world’s best vase knocker-over-er(?)” Kid accidentally trips Merlin (more than once)? Immediately dubbed “the world’s best hero of justice”.
Fou tends to agree with the latter…
He became super into photographing every moment with the children, you even had to buy him two cell phones for him to store all his photos and so that he can send them to everyone he knows.
It’s always a rapid stream of photos 24/7, but no one blocks him because the kids are just too goddamn cute.
“Look look! My baby girl is taking her first steps!”
“She took her first steps a week ago, what are you talking about?”
“I mean today!! This is a picture of her first steps of today!”
Never wants to miss out on any moment with them and also does not want to put too much stress on you, even at night so he, being the perfect man that he is, always volunteers to help with the children whether it be to quell tears or nightmares.
His future children are raised to embody the ideals of respect and honor worthy of knighthood. No disrespect will EVER come out of their chubby cheeks.
You never worry about them learning poor habits with Arthur and you are so happy the kids have such a confident father-figure to look up to.
Whenever you two go out, you always place the children in the care of the other Round Table members.
This is when you begin to worry.
Before you leave though, Arthur showers his children with little kisses, hugs, and back rubs before sadly bidding goodbye for the time being.
Tristan one day brought out a cat toy and played with them as if they were one, so you were confused upon returning to see your children slinking around like cats (thankfully the next day they stopped).
Gawain kneeled and presented a white lily to Arthur’s daughter and she was instantly enamored. Arthur was devastated to hear his daughter tell him Gawain is her prince, not him.
Mordred was touch-and-go in regards to interacting with Arthur’s kids, but is generally ambivalent, reading them stories and giving them cookies.
Though much of Arthur’s time is spent surrounding the children with adoration, he’ll never forget to make time to admire their beautiful mother.
In bed, he talks about how he is so undeserving of such a lovely family and that he could not imagine a happier time in his life.

From Gladiator to Knight Chapter 25 Knighting
Claire Jamie Tianna Paul Arthur Merlin
Claire
We all head back to our own rooms after the shock of my revelation fades a bit. The fact that we are to become legends is a bit hard to digest. Jamie and I enter our room. I strip down to my shift and Jamie down to his shirt and we get into bed, exhausted by the events of the day. Jamie pulls me close, spooning me to him and I come to understand that part of him isn't tired. He moves purposely against my bum.
"What do you think you are doing?"
"I would think that would be obvious Sassanech."
"It is. I meant why. Do you think I would be open to that after the way you treated me today?"
"I was just.."
"Being an arse. Not happening today Jamie."
"I am sorry. I worry when you pull away from me."
"I pulled away from everyone. I needed to think."
"I know that now. Will you forgive me for being an arse?"
"Of course. Good night Jamie." He sighs but accepts my no. He just cuddles against me and breaths,
"I love you Claire."
"I love you Jamie." We drift to sleep.
I woke with the first rays of sun coming through the window. I slip out of Jamie's grip and pull my dress back on. I walk into the hall and see Tianna doing the same. I suggest we go check on Arthur. We head that way.
We find him under the guard of Bors and Merlin. I walk over and take his pulse, count his respiration, and check his color. All are much better. I am quite relieved.
"You are doing extraordinarily well. I am clearing you to get out of bed today." I tell him.
"Thank you. That is wonderful news for I plan your knighting for today."
"Today! I thought it would take several days." I sputter out.
"All came together faster then I expected."
"Well that is...ahhh thank you sire'."
"Arthur." He corrects with a laugh as we courtsies our way out of the room. Merlin follows.
Merlin
"You told them?" I ask Claire after they leave.
"Yes, you knew, didn't you?"
"I did. I do. That is why it was so important that you told them."
"We are to be legends." Tianna says with awe.
"You are. Well deserved ones."
"Thank you Merlin. Come Tianna. Let's go check on Lancelot before we have to get ready."
Tianna
We knock on the door and a female voice calls out," Who is it?"
"Claire and Tianna. Come to check on Lancelot." Claire answers. We are invited in and find one of the.ladies-in-waiting washing Lancelot. This doesn't phase Claire who walks right up and kneels, taking the ankle of his injured leg.
"I am checking the pulse to make sure it is getting proper blood flow." She instructs. She had explained pulses and blood flow, the heart and such to me already.
"Your pulse is good. It means the cast is not to tight and you should heal properly. We are.sorry for barging in like this." Claire tells Lancelot.
"Oh that is fine." He says. His smile towards us and an even bigger smile towards the lady, says more.
"Someone.got some last night, didn't they?" Claire mumbles under her breath. I giggle and quickly cover my mouth. "Okay. I am allowing you up today. You may walk around here and outside with the crutches." Said louder and directed to Lancelot.
"Crutches?"
"A gift from Jamie." She turns to fetch them from where they lean against the door frame. "They will help you keep your balance and keep your weight of that injured leg."
She explains how they work: about how they are placed under his arms, how he is to lean into them, keep his injured leg up, push with his arms then with his foot. She gets him up, makes sure he can use them right, and is steady. He catches on quickly.
"Are you both okay with this?" She asks them both. They both agree they are and we leave.
Jamie
They walk in talking and laughing. It takes all I have not to grab and shake them. I see Paul restraining himself too.
"Where were ye!" I shout out.
"We checked on Arthur and Lancelot. Took him the crutches. He caught on to how to use them quickly." Claire calmly says.
"That.is all well and good but, you left without informing me and.Jamie where you were. And you must!" Paul informs his wife and mine. I see Tianna give him a furious look. He drops his head. I am not so easily intimidated by Claire's matching look.
"What he said is right. We are tasked by the order of the king and our wedding vowes with your protection. That is hard to do when we dinna ken yer whereabouts."
"We are sorry. You are right. We will wake you next time. By the way, we are.all to be knighted today. We best be getting ready." That takes anything else I think of telling her, right out of my head. She directs Tianna and I to follow her back to our room and sents Paul after some warm water.
Paul
I watch as Claire directs Tianna to lean back over the pot and pours water over her head. I am soon distracted by the way that position pushes her bossom out. I can't hold back a soft groan. Both Claire and Jamie look at me and grin. She then adds some of the strange liquid( the shampoo, I remind myself) to her hair. She massages it in and my wives hair is soon a mass of suds. I have never seen anything like it. She then rinses them out and directs Tianna to go sit by the fire so it can start to dry. She does Jamie's next. And then the bit of hair I have. Tianna then does hers and then offers to braid it up in a twist for the ceremony. Jamie and I watch our wives fix each others hair. There is a knock on the door.
Claire
The servants bring in four sets of clothes. Two gowns, one deep green, like Tianna's wedding dress. The other a deep blue with gold accents on the sleeves. The men have fancy shirts and breeks.
"Nice. But I bet they itch too." Paul grumbles. I laugh.
"Get used to wearing breeks lads. I've a feeling that where we are going next, you will still have too and not even as a true Scot. Neither will Tianna and I."
"What do you mean Sassanech?"
"You will see Jamie." We dress and walk hand in hand into the great hall. It has been transformed for the ceromony. The tables are moved to the side leaving the middle completely open. The king and queen sit on thrones at the end of the room. Merlin stands behind Arthur and the knights stand in a half circle behind them. We pass by his subjects lining our way like they are on a parade route.
Arthur
"We are here to knight the Fraser's as knights and dame's of the round table. They have been a gift from God to the kindom. Claire and Tianna, with the assistance of Merlin, saved my life from the evil plan of Morgarna and her son Mordred. Jamie and Paul, tracked them down and brought them back for justice. Claire, step forward."
Claire
I walk towards him on legs that feel like rubber. I can feel the eyes of the people on me and the beckoning eyes of the king. I kneel before him. And, as I have seen depicted in numerous paintings, he places his sword on first on one of my quivering shoulders then the other.
"I dub thee, Dame Claire Fraser of the round table." He says. He places his hand out and I take it, thinking he is helping me up. From behind him, Merlin hands him something. He slips it on my middle finger. A ring with a amethyst stone in the center.
"Thank you sire'."
"Thank you Claire." He helps me to my feet and I rejoin the others.
Tianna
He calls me up next. I know what to do from watching Claire. I am so thankful she was called first.
"I dub thee Dame Tianna Fraser of the round table." He slips a ring, Merlin hands him on my finger too. It has a sapphire in it.
"Thank you sire'."
"Thank you Tianna."
Jamie
I kneel before him as I have at the feet of my uncle. The difference is I respect him much more.
"I dub thee Knight Jamie Fraser of the round table." Merlin hands him the most beautiful sword I have ever seen. In the hilt is a stone, an amethyst to match the one in Claire's ring. I am speechless for a moment.
"Thank ye sire'." I finally get out.
"Thank you Jamie.
Paul
It feels unreal. To be kneeling before a king to be honored. Me, a former slave.
"I dub thee Knight Paul Fraser of the round table." I am handed a sword that is designed like Jamies. In the hilt is a beautiful blue stone like the one in Tianna's ring. Honored and presented with a valuable gift!
"Thank you sire'."
"Thank you Paul."
Arthur
"In the morrow we will all gather around the round table to discuss what is to be done with Morgarna. Until then, eat, drink, and be merry!"

Monday, November 2nd, 2020
Greetings, dear reader.
Once more I wonder how you all can pass your days with so few things of interest. I’d hate to call people out directly, but what happened to all the fun surrounding Lucifer’s arrival? For all the promises of drama and murder, there has been surprisingly little smiting. And the chaos one would’ve expected from the triplets has not yet come to fruition. Alas, I cannot yet spur you into action and must suffer impatiently as I wait for action. For my sake, do speed up your petty squabbles.
There are five arrivals to note this week, the first of which being of the Earth Kingdom Freedom Fighter, Jet, who was greeted by Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation—or should I say Lee? Considering their rocky past, one can only assume how that went. Asami Sato was greeted by Janis Arden (more on her recent activities later). Mako of Republic City was just cleaning up a mess resulting from a rather messy breakup when he was met by Lady Morgana. Alex from the band “Sunset Curve” was taking comfort in being with his bandmates when he was pulled away from them and came to Worlds’ End, only to be met by Mariah Hunter. Lastly, the Greek god Apollo came to the world and met Lena Luthor. He had many questions, ranging from religions to holidays, but seemed too calm and more interested in flirting with her than figuring out his current predicament. So far nothing has happened, but considering one of these arrivals is a god, things may start looking better (and more dramatic) quite soon.
If you have been reading my reports consistently—and really, why wouldn’t you?—you may remember Janis Arden’s progression. It began with the murder of Anakin Skywalker, in an event that may or may not have been shocking to you, and continued some months ago when she Force-choked Mordred after he questioned her on her morals. In an attempt to rectify her past errors, Janis has come to apologize to Mordred and to Anakin for her actions. In a world where so few people take ownership for their mistakes, I can certainly applaud Janis for her bravery in that sense.
Those are not the only conversations to take place this week, of course. Morgana and Merlin were one couple out of many to talk this week, and although their conversation might have been for private ears, I am happy to share that they at least seem more open to having children in the near future. That could be today, that could be tomorrow, or that could be three weeks from now. After so many surprises, I am sure that we all need to look forward to something.
Some people aren't merely talking about children. Some people are actively pushing them out! Pepper Potts gave birth to a healthy, young man. She and her fiancé, Tony Stark, named him James after their close friend from home. I bet Julia loves no longer being the youngest of the household! Now that the pairing of Stark and Potts – in some lands dubbed as “Pepperony” – have had two children after their own biologies, this begs the question, are they ever going to make it official? Or will the household continue to be run by parents married only in spirit, not worldly law?
That is all for my report this week.
Go on, dear reader, and do not forget to share this with your friends!
Your Editor thanks you.

Me watching Fate/Apocrypha ep 11
Atalanta the smug cat nee-san
“I’m not gonna hurt you. Not me, anyway.” Atalanta are you trying to be Kiritsugu 2.0?
Hurt? More like, NUKE.
Spartacus hulking out
Atalanta be like “You know what? One last touch and all is well and you’re ready to go!” then shoot just one arrow out of spite.
Atalanta: “It’s your problem now” Jeanne: “Wait what?” Atalanta: “Atalanta signing out. Bye. TTYL. Peace out, holy maiden whatever!”
Spartacus is basically the best worst masochist ever.
He’s like a damn cat getting distracted by whatever moving lights and goes pursuing it
Granted, it ain’t THE best fight in the whole series but I feel really disappointed Balmung vs Clarent Blood Arthur doesn’t get more screentime....
Sieg!Fried’s biceps O_O
Mordred: “HOW ARE YOU FUCKING ALIVE I BLASTED YOU WITH THE POWER OF DADDY ISSUES AND MY DADDY IS FUCKING STRONG AND SHITTY YOU ARE AN INSULT TO MY SHITTY DADDY”
Does Mordred love or hate her dad? Don’t waste any time deciding when the real answer is both and see it’s fucked up.
Discount Saber? Discount Saber??!! Are you fucking serious that’s a hilarious trash talk!
Another continuation of Bitchface Karna vs Uncle Vlad
Why is there a very strange sound effect like evil bubble sound effect when Vlad’s spearhead clash directly with Karna’s???
I get the feel like Karna vs Vlad is Fate/Apocrypha equivalent to Westley vs Inigo from The Princess Bride except haughtier and a tad bit crueler.
dID KARNA JUST SMILE A BIT?!!
Karna you should ask Artoria that ‘do it for love of your country or for king’s responsibility?’ she will have existential crisis.
Why should he be scared of fighting a whole country alone when he has a spear that can kill A GOD?
Vlad: “You have fallen... INTO MY TRAP!”
And then Karna stylishly becomes a pincushion. Stylishly, mind you.
Um I still don’t know if explaining your power to the enemy is a wise move Vlad..
Wow flying snake-like spears
Karna be like “I’m the son of sun God. Hot And Burns Everything.”
He looks like a kamen rider.
Vlad, cornered and excited: “Interesting”
Darnic be judging them so hard like “These stupid heroes with their stupid chivalry bravados”
Spartacus loves rebellion so much I want to give him a copy of Madoka Rebellion story
Did I tell you Spartacus is the best worst masochist ever?
Shakespeare is still at it again
Shakespeare: “Behold. A great fucked up thing created by me fucking things up”
Semiramis I know your noble phantasm is glorious af but not everyone have anti gravity giant ancient fortress
I’ve got a question: Why Spartacus looks way paler than his comrades? Not paler as in human skin, but you know, as in a fucking rock you see on the road.
Tbh I am not even fazed if Shakespeare turns out liking to get off at citing his own works.
“MY FIST IS LOVE. ACCEPT MY LOVE.” Holy shit this sounds like what an abusive person would say.
Spartacus I thought you were a masochist why are you turning into a sadist
Jeanne running be like “NOPE THANKS I’VE GOT PLENTY OF LOVE MYSELF”
Seriously he’s distracted by some bright light moving in the distance. What is he? A cat?
Geez Mordred do you hear what your own cakehole says? Are you pretty sure you just hate your dad?
HAHA SIEG!FRIED's CHEST IS GLOWING ON AND OFF THAT IS SOME ULTRAMAN SHIT
Wait but for as long as I remember everytime I watched Ultraman as a kid the hero always runs out of energy and that jewel goes “TING TONG TING TONG”
Sieg!Fried = Ultraman holy shit I just cracked the conspiracy theory
So Higashide’s original idea was to have Sieg!Fried glitters on the chest area but scrapped it and now it’s back and oN SCREEN
Spartacus is indeed the originator of Hit them when they gloat
No Mordred that’s a fucking terrible idea to slice him in half not everything is solved by slicing!
Wow I just realized Spartacus swallowed form facing off Mordred is a bit like Gilles swallowed form facing off Artoria back in Fate/Zero wow
Jeanne: “I didn’t face Vlad and his entire squad to get you out of this war for this”
Astolfo acts like the student who defends his friend when they cause huge fuck up and faces a raging teacher which is Jeanne
Well for a majority of time, Astolfo is kinda a child so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Um I don’t get why he’s saying that? If he was a Ruler? Fuck that even as a Rider he ain’t gonna leave Sieg. And sure as hell Jeanne won’t leave him too. Is Astolfo thinking Jeanne will leave Sieg? On what ground?? It ain’t really like Astolfo???
Though I aspire to grin right after spitting arguments like he does
There is an entire concept deeper than the ocean at the words “I won’t let a hero like you to harm innocent people”
Tvtropes dubs Luminosite Eternelle as a child's “I block your everything” imagination but without the imagination part and that’s the best description I’ve ever seen about it
Oh look a deformed rogue servant facing off against another golden lady with golden weapon and golden light
Power of love vs Power of imagination
Sieg looking at Ruler tanking a nuke: ❤
Wow that’s some game breaker shield alright
I’d behave exactly like Astolfo if I was on that condition too
Back at Uncle Vlad commanding spike snakes to stab the literal hottie Bitchface Karna
Karna: GYOKAKU NO JUTSU!! Me: WRONG ANIME!!!
You ever seen that meme about everyone making crazy ass face when pulling gyokaku no jutsu but not the graceful Itachi? Yeah Karna is also fucking graceful too
Slicing fire with the tip of the sword. #justvladthings
Vlad is probably the only person who doesn’t like being saved by the bell
You want a Holy Grail? STEAL IT OF COURSE. FROM ABOVE. ALIEN STYLE. #justredfactionthing
Ain’t fighting the holy grail war if you steal it. -Shirou Kotomine at some point
Yeah this is not the only hardship you’ve faced in a century Darnic but is there even any hardship that resembles ‘ancient babylonian fortress kidnaps your holy grail a la UFO’??
PANIC! AT THE YGGDMILLENNIA
Eveybody’s busy but not Celenike she doesn’t give a flying fuck.
The only thing I like about Celenike is her hairstyle. That’s my daily hairstyle. First time I see it I be like oh cool a character with my hairstyle and then she turns out to be sadist pedo witch and I’m like NOPE
Wait a minute why are you not showing Caules :(( Is it because he isn’t a master anymore :((( ?? He’s still crying isn’t he???? :((((
Darnic: V E R Y A N G R Y M O D E
Jeanne: “I’m still angry. So after this I’ll lecture the fuck out of you.” Sieg: “Um okay. I’ll be waiting.” Jeanne: ❤
There is something really funny about Vlad, the de facto captain and royalty, running around a la spy on enemies lair.
Not shown: 5 minutes of Scooby Doo doors chase between Black Faction and the AKA Team
Karna: “I was rude before but since it’s not yet 10 minutes and we meet again, I don’t have to apologize, right?”
“I will make sure to impale you this time.” UMM VLAD
HAHA Avicebron holds that gem with the Sailor Moon pose I can’t unsee it
IN THE NAME OF GOLEM I WILL PUNISH YOU
Achilles: “WHAT did you just throw me?! You’re an Archer!” Chiron: “Boy, nowadays the class Archer means nothing about archery”
OOOO KARNA HOLY SHIT THAT WAS SOME SAVAGE BURNNNN funny that he’s polite about it and 99.99% sure he doesn’t even mean to burn
Hanging Garden of Babylon is just too op
I bet Darnic puts “Professional asskisser” as skill and/or job on his resume
Vlad: “Don’t make me use Legend of Dracula” Darnic: “dOn’T MaKE mE USe LeGeND oF dRaCUlA”
There is something a bit satisfying with Sieg’s command spells and that bright background and the title Eternal Radiance (obviously referring to Jeanne)
But I still wonder what is the essence of changing the title template like I know it means Sieg is finally Sieg!Fried. So what?
Gotta be honest: I love hearing that main battle soundtrack again. Absence in one/two episodes is enough. 
I’ve always loved the idea of Luminosite Eternelle but the utilization is always so simple like I thought flag waving will be more involved
NEXT: Being Lancer is suffering indeed.

OUAT Episode Analysis- Mother’s Little Helper
Wow.  Did A&E really write this one?  I’m impressed.  Why couldn’t they have written like this when they made that awful Wish World two-parter? They even pulled off an impressive plot twist that actually surprised me.  Well done, you two.  Now let’s see if you can keep this up.
So we start off with Emma learning how Gideon abducted Killian and left him stranded in another realm, and is now preventing him from getting back.  And she is LIVID.  She even resorts to using the Force Choke Hold on Gideon.  That’s how far she’s been pushed, people.  Because it’s obvious that’s classified as Dark Magic, something Emma hasn’t used since she was freed from the Dark One’s essence.  But Gideon is all ‘please, you don’t scare me,’ and tells Emma that if she wants Killian back, she really has no other choice but to help him.
The next day, Emma and Snow, who has once again remembered Emma is her daughter, storm into Gold’s shop to let them know what they think of Gideon’s behavior, and are pretty much ‘control your kid, or we’ll control him for you.’ Belle, however, beseeches Emma to give Gideon a chance, stating her belief that there is good in him.  I’m of two minds when it comes to this scene. Yes, Belle is completely in character here, and I fully acknowledge this is her son they’re talking about here. But it is a bit problematic that Belle is essentially saying that Gideon shouldn’t be blamed for his actions because he grew up under the Black Fairy’s abuse.  You know, considering she’s talking to Emma.  It’s not as if Emma’s childhood was all glitz and glamour, after all. Granted her foster families never actively tortured her, but I’ve seen the cigarette burn on her hand.  And I noticed what looked to be a scar above her breast during the Captain Swan movie.   There’s enough evidence to suggest she was physically abused at some point.  I can understand how being tortured as a child can mess you up a bit, but that doesn’t give you permission to run around plotting to kill people.
Regardless, Emma agrees to give Gideon a fair chance and meets with him at the Storybrooke clock tower.  However, she tells him that if he wants her help, she needs some collateral.  Because she hasn’t forgotten that he did try to kill her a few days ago, so she has a right to be cautious around him.  As such, she has him hand over the Ruby Hilt Sword and the spell that’s keeping Killian away.  They end up going to the Sorcerer’s Mansion and begin a ritual that I think was meant to open up a portal to the Black Fairy’s realm so they could overthrow her. Or lift the enchantment keeping Killian away.    It was one of those two options.  But they’re disrupted by the appearance of a giant spider that proceeds to attack Emma and Gideon, with Gideon claiming the spider was sent by the Black Fairy, who figured out what they were doing and was seeking to stop them.
Now this is when the episode really starts throwing you for loops.  While they’re dodging the spider, Gideon actually apologizes to Emma for his actions.  Which is quite a novel concept.  Imagine a villain we just met who apologizes right off the back.  (In contrast, has Regina ever actually apologized to Snow, Charming and Emma for casting the Dark Curse and separating them?  No to mention the rest of Storybrooke, who were just innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.  And has Rumple apologized to the Nevengers for the stuff he’s pulled on them?)  But right when Emma is trying to find a way out, Gideon pulls a fast one on her, revealing that this was all a trick and he was the one who summoned the spider, with the intention of letting the spider kill Emma.  So, Gideon teleports away, leaving Emma at the mercy of the giant spider. Despite her best efforts at fighting off the spider, Emma, who somehow forgot she could just teleport herself away like Gideon did, ends up cocooned by the spider.  When she loses consciousness because of the spider silk obstructing her airways, Gideon begins a different ritual that would enable the Black Fairy to enter Storybrooke.  Just when the portal to the Dark Realm opens up, however, Gold suddenly arrives at the Sorcerer’s Mansion and drives the spider off, freeing Emma from the cocoon in the process.  (And I think this marks the first time I was actually glad to see Gold doing something on the screen.  Congrats, Rumpy Rumps.  You’ve earned another gold star today.)
Thus begins the second PTA meeting with Emma, Snow, Belle and Gold.  Emma announces that Gideon has just used up his last chance, and the next time they meet, she will show him no mercy.  However, Gold insists that Emma isn’t being fair and whatnot.  In any event, it’s clear that lines are being drawn in the sand over this issue.  
Now, once again, I understand that Gold is concerned for Gideon and doesn’t want to see him die.  But regardless, I still wanted to Gibbs Slap him for accusing Emma and Snow for only seeing things in black and white and acting like Emma is being unreasonable for no longer willing to be lenient with Gideon.  After all, she gave him a chance and offered to help him.  But he responded by double-crossing her.  Emma has every right to want to defend herself against the person who is seeking to kill her.  And, at present, she is completely unaware of the plot twist that’s revealed in the episode flashback.
This episode also shows us how Gideon got to this point.  After the Black Fairy abducted him from Shady Blue’s care, she brought Baby Gideon to her realm, where she keeps stolen children as slaves and mine workers, forcing them to mine for dark fairy dust.  But instead of placing Baby Gideon into the mines, she decides to keep him as a pet of some sort.  During this segment, we also see that moment that Gideon referred to a few episodes ago, when the Black Fairy ‘tested’ Gideon with the opportunity to protect a friend of his.  Seeing this moment was as upsetting as I anticipated it to be, and it shows how nasty and sinister the Black Fairy is.  But I still say Gideon shouldn’t be so hard on himself for this moment.  Again, he was only a kid.  There was nothing he could have done, even if he had tried to interfere.  No child should be made to feel guilty for not standing up to their abuser.  That would be victim blaming, plain and simple.
However, we see that moment ended up breaking Young Gideon, as we then cut to him when he’s full grown.  At this point, he’s become the Black Fairy’s minion flunky, doing her bidding without question.  One day, the Black Fairy summons him to announce he has just turned 28 years old.  She then tells him that someone in the mines has stolen her vault key and tasks him with finding out who is responsible.  When Gideon goes down to the mines to punish the guilty one, he has an unexpected reunion with his childhood friend, the one he couldn’t save as a boy.  The friend in question is revealed to be called Roderick. Thing was, when I saw the episode, I thought they called him Mordred, as in Mordred of Camelot lore.  But I apparently heard wrong.   Anyway, Roderick beseeches Gideon to look inside himself and reacquaint himself with who he used to be before the Black Fairy instilled her programming into him. In the end, Gideon decides to help Roderick, who tells Gideon he heard tales of a brave hero called the Savior, explaining he planned to break into the Black Fairy’s vault in order to obtain a crystal ball that could be used to contact the Savior and ask for her help in saving them.  Because Roderick has found out that the Black Fairy’s reasons for mining dark fairy dust is because she’s planning to cast a terrible curse.  It turns out that the Black Fairy was the one who actually patented the Dark Curse.  But she never managed to perfect it.  Which is what she’s trying to do now with the dark fairy dust.  So if she success, she’ll be able to manufacture a Dark Curse that would make Regina’s curse look like child’s play.  Which is obviously a holocaust of bad.
Unfortunately, when Gideon helps Roderick break into the vault to contact the Savior with the crystal ball, the Black Fairy appears, revealing this was just another trick, and she had set Gideon up to test his loyalty to her.  To punish Gideon for his defiance, she proceeds to turn Roderick into a beetle, killing him before Gideon’s eyes.  To add salt to the wound, she then takes possession of Gideon’s heart, turning him into her Heart Controlled slave.
To this, I applaud A&E. Because I did not see this coming. At all.  And this reveal does complicate matters a bit.  It means that Gideon really isn’t acting on his own accord after all, and there might still be a chance to save him.  Although, this doesn’t mean I find fault with Emma for the ‘no mercy’ stance she’s currently taking with Gideon.  Because she doesn’t know about the Heart Control yet.  With the limited information she has to work with, she is not at fault with not being willing to give Gideon another chance.  Once she does find out about the Heart Control, she’s obviously going to realize that the rules have changed and she’s going to do what she can to free him from the Black Fairy’s control.  But until she discovers that missing piece of the puzzle, she’s only going to know that Gideon is the guy who is actively trying to kill her, kidnapped her True Love, and betrayed her when she offered him her help.  So of course she’s not going to give him another chance.
And to make matters even worse, the ritual Gideon performed to bring the Black Fairy into Storybrooke turned out to be successful.  Even though Gold stopped the spider from killing Emma, she lost consciousness just long enough for it to count, and the Black Fairy was able to slip through the cracks. So, the way things are shaping up, this is going to be quite an epic conclusion to this story arc, which I’m now dubbing the Black Fairy arc. 
 All I can say, is that I’m now wanting to see them find a way to de-age Gideon back to an infant when this is all over, complete with a mind wipe so he won’t remember anything that happened to him after Belle sent him away out of concern for her child’s safety.  Kind of like what they did with August back in S2.  If anyone should get a fresh start, it’s this guy.  Plus, Belle deserves the chance to raise her child in peace.
Meanwhile, in Subplot B, Regina is back in her vault, working on trying to figure out how to break Snowing’s sleeping curse, which she really should have been doing in the last episode, but we’re not going to discuss that can of worms.  Although, it did strike me as a bit irksome that she was talking about cleaning up the messes Evil Queen left and made no mention how she STILL hasn’t returned those hearts to their rightful owners.  Why bother bringing up the fact that she still has her heart collection if they’re not going to bother resolving that issue?  
Anyway, Henry is all ‘you can do it, Regina!  If you can’t do it, no one can!’  Which, again, is odd since Emma was the one who effectively cleaned up after Regina in S1 when she broke the original Dark Curse.  Out of nowhere, Henry suddenly goes into a weird trance-like state and ends up writing out a series of strange symbols that Regina can’t identify.  Wondering what it all means, they end up deciding to question Author Isaac, who has been residing in the psychiatric ward since the end of the Author arc.  Which kind of makes sense, as they sadly can’t ask Merlin and the Apprentice anymore.  Unfortunately, imprisonment hasn’t fixed Author Isaac’s tendency to be annoying, and he says he refuses to talk unless he’s given a car and allowed to leave Storybrooke.  (I guess Regina got rid of the town line barrier spell off screen?)  He also includes tickets to Hamilton among his list of demands, which is a slight anachronism, as that musical premiered in 2015 and the show’s timeline is still in in the late 2013 to early 2014 range. I know Adam tweeted something about how in this version of reality, Hamilton premiered earlier than it did in our world, but that just sounds like a made-up excuse to cover up their slip-up.
Regina eventually agrees to release Author Isaac and give him a car.  Which is something else that bothers me.  I realize everyone else had their hands full with the whole Gideon thing at the moment, and that Regina was concerned with what was going on with Henry, but releasing Author Isaac really wasn’t Regina’s decision to make.  At the very least, she should have discussed things with the rest of the Nevengers with everyone voting on the matter.  I’m just saying, the last time Regina made a decision without getting everyone else’s input first, it was when she decided it was perfectly okay to give Hades a chance and trust him with Zelena and Baby Robyn.  And look how well that turned out.
Regardless, Author Isaac takes his chance to drive away.  But before he does, he informs Regina and Henry that the reason for Henry’s trance was because the story within Henry’s book is nearing the end. Obviously, this means something climatic is about to happen, but it doesn’t quite explain what those weird symbols meant.  Or why anyone should be seriously concerned.  If you remember, there were probably hundreds of blank Storybooks in the Sorcerer’s Mansion.  Even if Henry’s Storybook is about to reach its conclusion, so what?  It just means you start a new story.  Because nothing ever really ends.  
And of course, we get the subplot with Killian, who is just as eager to get back to Emma as she is at getting him home.  He ends up approaching Blackbeard at a tavern somewhere, once again offering to trade the Jolly Roger for another magic bean.  Because Blackbeard managed to get his hands on another magic bean.  Where exactly does he keep finding these magic beans, anyway?  I thought they were supposed to be rare.  Apart from that, it’s interesting that Blackbeard knows that Killian made the original trade for Emma.  Which means that Killian was completely forthright with why he wanted a magic bean the last time. Meaning he didn’t give a bat’s behind if Blackbeard mocked him for losing his head over a woman.  Killian, this is why we love you.  
Getting back to the story, the two pirates begin to play a game of cards, agreeing that the winner gets the spoils.  Ultimately, Blackbeard wins the game, but that’s when Killian proves his craftiness, telling Blackbeard that the Jolly Roger is back in Storybrooke.  And if he wants to get it, he has to use his magic bean to bring them there.  In other words, Killian knew going into that card game that he was going to be returning to Storybrooke either way.  Blackbeard is not pleased by this turn of events, accusing Killian of being deceitful. And Killian is like ‘look who’s talking.  It wasn’t as if that was a fair card game.  No proper deck has 6 aces.’  So Blackbeard has no choice but to use the magic bean to open a portal to Storybrooke. But, because of the blocking spell Gideon set up, the portal doesn’t bring the two men to Storybrooke. Instead, they wind up in a completely different realm, which Killian soon identifies as Neverland (which has apparently stopped being a jungle island in Pan’s absence) when a horde of Lost Boys suddenly appear.
Now, this right here raises a few questions.  As Killian and Blackbeard are trying to get away from the Lost Boy horde, Killian explains that they didn’t bring all the Lost Boys with them when they left Neverland back in S3, and that they allowed the most savage ones to stay behind.  But if that was the case, it once again brings up the question of why they brought Felix back with them.  Felix was Pan’s right hand man/lapdog.  So he was therefore the worst of all the Lost Boys.  Why didn’t they leave him on the island, too? Granted the plot demanded Felix to be in Storybrooke, but from a logic standpoint, it made no sense.
Plot hole aside, Killian and Blackbeard, while running for their lives, come across a conveniently placed rowboat.  But Blackbeard uses an underhanded tactic to commandeer the rowboat for himself, leaving Killian stranded on the island at the mercy of the rampaging Lost Boys.  Question is, where does Blackbeard think he’s going? He’s in a completely different realm, so it’s not like he can just row his way back to the Enchanted Forest. Also, does Neverland even have another landmass apart from the main island? As far as we know, the rest of that world consists of nothing but endless ocean.  So I don’t know where Blackbeard thinks he’s gonna end up. That is, if he can even get past the Neverland mermaids.  Because as memory serves, they weren’t the friendliest bunch.  And I doubt a rowboat is going to offer him much in the way of protection if they plan on attacking him.  Blackbeard’s pretty much a dead man rowing here, I must say.
So, all in all, this was a good solid episode.  And it actually is helping me restore a bit of faith in A&E.  The only thing that bugged me with the episode is how they left Killian’s subplot off with him still running from the Lost Boys.  I know he’s going to make it out alright, so it’s not like it was much of a cliffhanger.   But that just felt like a strange place to place the bookmark.

@ashes-and-dust​ tagged me (eons ago) in a thing that starts personal and then degenerates into tv show stuff?? and... well here it is
1.) Why did you choose your URL?
You must all know this by now, lol. Okay so 1-I’m French Canadian, a popular insult for us by the English is “Frog” and I highly believe in claiming back insults.2-The first online url I had (well second. I had wolves has my special interest back when I was 12 so ‘wolfy136′ was the first, fleeting url I got) was after I joinned the HP fandom, with my favourite character, thus Lunard136/Lunard1 was born (that’s moony. my wolf special interest faded in the background but it’s still there to show lol). I started going to other websites than HP ones and I was starting to feel like that url wasn’t good for those so I thought long and hard about something I could be me and not fandom related so I wouldn’t have to change it again (because change is good but I hate it) and I came up with “Froggy”. Only to find it was used already. I was tired of the old 136 so I decided to had something about me in the url, something about my temper (I’m definitely a fire sign) and added the “bangbang” because I catch like a barrel of powder. (you dirty mind you if you thought I’d use it as a sex reference! Shame on you! except lol yeah I knew how it sounded and I was fine with letting people who don’t know me think I’m a nympho. what better way to hide I’m not really all that interested in sex, which is weird and not normal, right? right.)
2.) What’s your middle name?
Very few Quebecois have one, those who are afflicted by the old tradition, weather because their parents are religious or because it’s a tradition and nobody questions it have (for girls) Mary Godmother’sName FirstName LastName (for boys) Joseph Godfather’sName FirstName LastName. That’s the format and absolutely nobody goes by the first two to the point that my passport doesn’t even show them because I was told not to put them in if I’m not using them (???!!!? but okay!) anyway my are Mary Diane Kristine LastName
3.) If you could own a fairytale/fictional pet, what would it be?
I’d love a tiny dragon? I’m pretty sure I said “I want a X now!” a few onth ago but I can’t remember what it was... But honestly if I can, in my life, befriend a corvid that’s like. the dream goal. It has been for ever.
4.) Favourite colour?
hmmm I really love orange. every shade but especially the dark burnt one. I also like dark green, dark blue, dark teal and dark purple a lot? I’ll go with orange
5.) Favourite song?
That’s.... not something I can answer. Honestly how can you pick one? IDK I really love In Hell I’ll be in Good Company these days? I really love Phillip Glass’ Violin Concerto No.1 2nd Movement if you prefer no voice. Also Dream Fragment from the Chrono Cross OST because I’m a sucker for music box.
Here are a few of my Spotify playlist, for those interested.
A Little Bit of Everything is pretty much all the songs I like and remember to put on spotify (if spotify has them. They lack in Quebecois music)
Music Rec is songs that you might not know about that exist and you should listen to them, but this doesn’t get updated very often
RN is the playlist that keeps changing. My current obsessions are on that one
In the Summertime are songs for a nice warm summer day with a light breeze and a hammock (or something. maybe a few friend in the backyard and a beer.)
And Sunday Mornings is the playlist I’m listening to mainly on sunday mornings (It’s playing right now) because it fits the vibe of a sunday morning when you start your coffee and still might have an eye glued down
6.) What are your top three fandoms?
errr I’ll go with HP, 1D (*glares at @ashes-and-dust​*) and....hmm. I’m not really active in any of the others anymore. but I guess Sherlock?(though Pacific Rim or Cabin Pressure also fit third place but I think I still read more sherlock fic than I do PR or CP)
7.) Why do you enjoy Tumblr?
This hellsite is my main place for interacting with sensible human beings. I also LOVE *those* posts. you the ones where one person asks a questions/ places a random thought and then.... it just. takes a life of its own? and everyone knows them? The Guam Cookie post is one. The many Aliens finds Humans Weird also. but then there’s the smaller ones like just. They are exactly the kind of stuff I’d be saying with my (ex? maybe?)friend in Rimousky like you say something, and they add something in a deadpanned way that is bviously exagerated/insane and then you add on it and they add on it until you are at the stage that you won’t be buy mayo because, really, having to marry someone from an island so you could get away with murder is much too much effort. That’s why I love tumblr.
PICK YOUR 5 FAVORITE TV SHOWS AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS:
ugh I very rarely watch tv anymore these are hard.
1. Merlin
2. Doctor Who (until season 5/6 anyway. Moffat killed it)
3. Torchwood
4. The X-Files (haven’t seen the reboot but I’d love to!)
5. ...... Sherlock (I guess? But I still haven’t watch the last xmas special nor the last season? Moffat killed it?)
1. WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE CHARACTER IN 2?
hmmmmm..... *shakes the Ponds, Martha Jones and Dona Noble in her hand to see which will get out* I’m going to go with Dona. I’m not so in your face, but I really relate with her and she had an awesome friendship with 10, not afraid to give him a good earful if he went overboard.
2. WHO IS YOUR LEAST FAVOURITE CHARACTER IN 1?
Shit idk. I mean Uther and Morgana where mean shit but I loved their characters for what they were..... I’d say between Uther and Mordred? idk. 
3. WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE EPISODE OF 4?
Oh shit. Dude do you have any idea how many episode there is of the xfiles?? I’m going to go with the one on the boat, because that’s the one that popped into my head right now (immediately followed by that black and white one when Mulder meets the Gunmen for the first time... that CELL PHONE OMG) and any moment when Scully and Mulder have SASS going on.
4. WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE SEASON OF 5?
The first season is the best without a doubt. I’ve loved the second season but in the first one the story were even more concentrated on one story per episode and it was very well thought off and they didn’t overdo it yet, which they tented to do afterwards, as well as letting more episode be one story and not following canon anymore. I’m actually sadden at my lack of consistency at following Elementary.
5. WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE RELATIONSHIP IN 3?
Oh. er... Ianto/Jack. but. like. I don’t like to think about that because of children of the earth.
6. WHO IS YOUR ANTI-RELATIONSHIP IN 1?
I know it sounds weird but I really see Arthur and Gwen as bromance who agreed to marry because throne? They have a great chemistry but I just don’t buy it.
7. HOW LONG HAVE YOU WATCHED 4?
The first episode I’ve seen was on TQS with the french dubbed version of the first episode we see the guy that can dislocate every bones in his body to crawl in small places. then I got hooked and rented the VHS of the series, bought books of the series, the official magazines, unofficial biographies (my gosh is the internet cheaper) and watched every episode (at some point switching in the English version on Fridays) until Mulder got abducted. Tried to watch that season but didn’t care to not miss an episode... then I just... forgot to tune in. so that’d be since.... according to WIKI the first episodes in French were in 1994 and “squeeze” is the third one.
8. HOW DID YOU BECOME INTERESTED IN 3?
Because of Doctor Who.
9. WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE ACTOR IN 2?
Grahhhhh okay I’m going to go renewed series because fhjdsahlsb and it’s still hard but I think I’ll go with David Tenant. Tough Karen Gillan is good too. Oh! fuck and John Simm fuck I forgot John Simm and Life on Mars! damn. Okay John Simm
10. WHICH SHOW DO YOU PREFER: 1, 4 OR 5?
You drive a hard bargain. I’ll go with the X-Files; 4
11. WHICH SHOW HAVE YOU SEEN MORE EPISODES OF? 1 OR 3?
as in proportionally? because I’ve see all of them, but I *think* merlin has more episodes? Though I’ve watch Torchwood more often I think?
12. IF YOU COULD BE ANYONE FROM 4, WHO WOULD YOU BE?
I’m not sure I’d like to be anyone on the x-files that sounds like a very dangerous life. although wait no not true! one of the gunmen! They have the coolest job in the series.
13. HOW WOULD YOU KILL OFF YOUR FAVOURITE CHARACTER IN 3?
*stares* Not like that. 
14. WOULD A 2/3 CROSSOVER WORK?
HAHAHA well. YES, mainly because IT IS a thing between DW and Torchwood.
15. PAIR TWO CHARACTERS IN 2 THAT WOULD MAKE AN UNLIKELY BUT STRANGELY OKAY COUPLE.
The Master and Donna? If, you know, the Master got his murdering tendencies in check. idk I’m not good at pairing people. I pick and chose those who exist in the fandom.
16. OVERALL, WHICH SHOW HAD A BETTER CAST: 3 OR 5?
Damn.... I mean Andrew Scott alone.... but then it got cringey... but I don’t particularly like Gwen but I’m pretty sure it’s not the casting..... I’ll go with Torchwood.
17. WHICH SHOW HAS A BETTER SOUNDTRACK: 1, 4 OR 5?
I do not know Merlin’s Soundtrack well enough to comment on it and I think the X-files’ is pretty lacking, but Sherlock has some very good music, the Irene piece is on of my favourite.
Blergh. I don’t want to tag because lazy. go ahead and give me the answers, though. Especially the music ones I’m always interested in finding new music!
