Yay! I love ship ask games 💖
1. Who would be first to bite down and consume the flesh of the other, euphoric in the taste and the heft and the slide of the blood?
Merlin
2. Who is the ant and who is the ophiocordyceps fungus?
Arthur is the ant, Merlin is the ophiocordyceps fungus, obviously
3. Who is the dog and who is the master?
Merlin is the dog, Arthur is the master
4. When the roles are blurred or reversed who would be first to die and how? would it be by bullet wound? the phallic blade? strangulation?
Merlin, a God become a Martyr. And phallic blade
5. Cocaine or Heroin?
Cocaine to imagine, heroin to forget
6. Who licks up the other’s cigarette ash?
Merlin. The burned remnants taste almost as intoxicating as the fire
7. Who is Julius Caesar and who is Brutus?
Arthur is Caesar, Merlin is Brutus. It's dangerous for one man to have that much power, better to twist the knife already in his heart than to stab his back
8. Who is Jesus and who is Judas?
Merlin is Jesus, Arthur is Judas. To love a God is to condemn him
9. Did Jesus want it? did Julius Caesar know it was coming? are the betrayed ever proud?
Jesus was doomed from the moment he was born as human. That has always been man's fatal flaw, original sin: Adam ate the forbidden fruit because Eve told him to. It is a wretchedly human weakness to trust the one you love above the Gods. The only sins Jesus died for were his own.
Caesar was warned of his demise, any attempt to outrun fate will inevitably lead you towards the blade's edge. The only surprise was in who wielded the weapon, "et tu, Brute?"
In order to be betrayed, you first have to love someone enough to trust them resolutely. Is that not a feat to be proud of?
10. Who is irrumatus and who is irrumans? who is pedicatus and who is pedicans?
Merlin is a power bottom for sure
11. Did they ever kiss and why not?
No. Because a cigarette only reduces to ash once it is pressed to lips. Because the kiss of Judas is a death sentence
12. If they are two sides of the same coin who is heads and who is tails?
They are! Arthur is heads, Merlin is tails
13. And if the coin was the holey dollar?
It's original currency is obsolete – a price that can never be paid. But the coin lives on, defined by it's defect: a hollow centre. To reunite it with it's missing piece after all this time might make it whole again, but never complete
14. And if the dog bit back?
You let him, the first few times. It's invigorating to remember you can bleed
15. and if the dog bit back?
You scold him
16. and if the dog bit back?
You feed him
17. and if the dog bit back?
You tell him to remember his place
18. and if the dog bit back?
You tell him he has nowhere else to go
19. and if the dog bit back?
You love him, despite everything
20. Who buys the other flowers?
Merlin 💐
