#this man had many talents

Two drawings made by Louis XIII.

Very good drawings considering he was not professionally trained.

They should have dwelled more into Merlin’s skills (and I’m not talking about just magic)

As I rewatched Merlin, I realised this man has so many skills?!

We often talk about how surely Arthur must have thought him how to use a sword (I agree 100%) but Merlin also knows how to hunt?

He dislikes it, yet years and years of going hunting with Arthur proves to be fruitful. Merlin founds the deer in season four before the entire Camelot patrol. He knows how to recognise tracks on trees and traces of feet in the mud (he knows how to build them in the right way with magic, too). And I have proof that Arthur teaches Merlin, because in season five, Arthur makes Merlin see what was wrong with the branch. when they went out and Arthur noticed that someone (Mordred) had walked past the woods.

Also, season four, episode two? Merlin wakes up before Lancelot and HE IS HUNTING FISH LIKE A MASTER?!

Have we talked about this? Who taught him? I believe most things he already knew how to do, since he grew up in a village with a single mother where everyone had to fetch up for themselves.

He also knows how to cook. And he gets compliments (even if they are jokes) from the Knights and Arthur himself too.

HE IS A PHYSICIAN, and I wished we could have seen so much more of that, because he is hot, because it proves that is so good at learning, listening and also teaching. He tells Daegal how to get rid of the poison, poison, in his body and HE IS STILL SO HUMBLE ABOUT IT?! He spent more than ten years being an apprentice and when Daegal tells him he is a good physician, Merlin denies it?! Bro has low self esteem.

Merlin also has all the skills required from a servant, like sewing, cleaning specific fabric in a certain way, polishing armour and so many other things, adjusting swords and weapons ecc.

I guess it pisses me off when Merlin is described (heavily in fanfictions too) like an incapable manservant, unable to do things for himself or defend himself without magic, when he spent ten years in Camelot doing new work after new work. Just because he was scared at the end of season five without his powers (because he had never lost them before) it doesn’t mean Merlin isn’t capable of using a sword, or help himself, since he does and challenges Morgana too, even without powers.

EDIT:

Merlin also knows how to use a crossbow and how to fight side by side with Arthur and he knows where to head, where north and south are, based on the scent of the air?! Merlin knows so many things.

i find it funny that both times i've seen karamatsu draw in canon material he's shown to draw fairly well, at least when it comes to drawing self portraits.

sources : ( 01 ) + ( 02 )

so that either means he's just generally decent at drawing OR it's a makorin situation and he can only draw one thing well, that thing being himself.

He’s got moves

I’ve been thinking of writing. a fic where it’s a Percy Jackson and Harry Potter cross over, where regulus is a son of Apollo, and Sirius doesn’t know about it till he’s in like fith year, and the whole reason why I want to write it is because I think a scene where after it’s revealed that he’s a Demi god,

Sirius would go : wait, Apollo? As in the god of singing? That’s your dad? Is that the reason you can sing so well?!

Regulus: yeah it is. Like half of the “muggle” musicians are Apollo kids. Actually last time dad had his little feast, David was bragging how he’s the most famous of his kids. It gets so annoying sometimes.

Sirius: David… as in David Bowie?

Regulus: Yes? (He doesn’t really listen to rock music, or any of his Demi god siblings stuff for that matter because they get on his nerves already, so why would he seek them out?)

Sirius: I share a baby brother with the David Bowie? Like the real David Bowie? Oh my god, I share a brother with David Bowie, Remus did you hear that?!

Sirius and Remus then freak out so bad that they pass out.

Would be very very funny.

I WANNA GET INTO PJ SO BAD BUT THERE'S SO MUCH !!! if someone buys me the books and tells me what order they go in i'll eat them up so fast.

all i'm saying is,,, has anyone ever seen bowie and regulus in the same room besides sirius in a halloween costume? i dont think sooooo

"He hoped Riley would be mourned; Riley deserved to be mourned; Laurence was not at all certain he would be."

_________

"-he is not Riley.' He stopped and said again, low, 'He is not Riley,' and swallowed regret once more: the loss not only of a friend, but of that still more priceless treasure, a man on whom he could rely."

Lines I think about frequently. Lines that hurt me.

hi edgar! same anon who wanted to eat your hair but we don't talk about that haha... ^_^ seeing as you look a little down by your recent response, i hope you don't mind a small distraction ask... or so i hope it would help a little bit! since you really like painting, do you have an artist that you look up to or at least adore their work a lot? mine is claude monet!

"...Correct. We don't talk about that." He pauses, staring at the paper. "I have no desire to ask how you crammed so many images of crying in there."

An artist he looks up to... Edgar furrows his brow at the question. "Hm. My years of study did not feature nearly enough of looking at those before me, but from the things I have seen and learned recently... I have an admiration for Michelangelo and Courbet, and like you, I cannot help but enjoy Monet's work. Impressionism is a form I work within as well, in the sense that while sometimes it is best to portray reality as it is, sometimes heightening it and knowing what choices to make to take it into something more than what the world could physically be, while knowing and painting in such a way that emphasizes the medium, is the direction I find most important. It is not a matter of one or the other at all times. I am not a daguerreotype and I do not seek to pretend to be one, I may as well lean into the way my brushes leave their marks."

「ああ…こぼれ落ちる涙はお別れの言葉

何も聞かず、ただ僕の胸に手を当て微笑みを浮かべ

君の頬に口づけを…僕は君を忘れない もっと強く抱き締めて僕が空に帰るまでー 君の細く透き通る声が僕を離さない もっと強く抱き締めて僕が消えないように…

僕が消えないように…」
