magic as a queer allegory

i rant in the tags a lot. a guy who identified with bbc's merlin a little too much. multishipper but it’s probably mostly merthur content. main account is imaginaryboyfriend so you might've see me comment on merlin posts before.

Painted this as soon as Art Fight ended, I missed these idiots sm!! Wasn’t planning on posting this one since it’s still a wip and I don’t think I’ll ever finish it ( Arthur looks straight up silly in here 😭 ) but I really liked the colors and since my semester starts literally today, I’ve got no idea on when I’ll get to paint these two again. So I present my humble offerings to the Merlin fandom

I wanted to draw some medieval clothes for Merlin and try new rendering tricks. The last sketch took 15 minutes lol but I like this little sorcerer hat and twisted magic staff

That Gwen hate post is showing a really interesting pattern… “yeah no we just hate that Gwen x Arthur isn’t gay haha, but Gwen is TERRIBLY written. I have an idea. What if we just replace her with a white woman !!!! This has no implications whatsoever.” Get sick.

[sneakyboymerlin]

Literally spot-on every time. Rampant racist and misogynistic hate against Gwen is somehow a sign of racist and misogynistic beliefs… shocking I know

[jhtyrrr]

Remember when Gwaine disrupted Gwen’s little trip to the marketplace just to flirt with her and instead of either flirting back or telling him off, she gave him a 3.5/5 stars Yelp review
