Back on my Hunger Games and Merlin nonsense. In case you forgot, you can call me Grace! You'll be seeing some Bridgerton, Stranger Things, Six of Crows, whatever I fancy really. You can find more in my tags page! I like Colin Morgan. A lot.

rewatching merlin !! 🏰⚔️⭐️

[fan-a-tink]

merlin from Arthur's perspective is actually so wild. like, merlin has the context of their great destiny and is knowingly working to bring it about but Arthur... to Arthur merlin is this random boy who turned up in Camelot one day and made him look like a fool in front of everyone then saved his life and was 'rewarded' by becoming his servant. and like the next week, Arthur already trusts merlin so much and jokes around with him and literally goes on life threatening quests just because merlin had this idea or merlin drank poison for him. like, Arthur doesn't know about the destiny stuff, and he does these things only because he likes this slightly odd guy who is terrible at his job and roasts Arthur 24/7. it just brings home the fact that merlin is Arthur's first real friend, that he must have been super lonely before merlin, and just how much Arthur genuinely likes merlin.

MERLIN ❦ 3.04 | Gwaine

[tiredandoptimistic]

Gwen and Elyan really are the siblings of all time to me. Excellent cautious one and impulsive one duo, especially since Gwen isn't actually that cautious. She's usually down for a wacky scheme, she's just surrounded by so many headstrong idiots (affectionate) that she has to play the voice of reason sometimes.

Gwen and Elyan both dealt with the consequences of their life choices: Gwen stayed in Camelot and had to watch her father be killed, Elyan kept running off on different adventures and he got himself imprisoned. In Gwen's hour of need, Elyan stayed away. In Elyan's hour of need, Gwen orchestrated her own quest to save him. I'm fascinated by how Gwen doesn't really expect Elyan to come home or to protect her, but she still does everything to keep him safe. And then she gets the reward at the end of her heroic quest, and her brother is finally back home and willing to be part of her life. Being a knight seems like a perfect compromise, since it gives Elyan an outlet for his wandering urge while still keeping him rooted in Camelot, but it apparently was too perfect because when Gwen is banished Elyan isn't willing to give up his knighthood to go with her. He literally took Arthur's side in the divorce, I'm never gonna stop thinking about it. Gwen basically constructed her own tragedy: she did all the work of getting her brother back, and then set him up with a lifestyle so nice that he was willing to prioritize it over her. I always assume that this was why Elyan was so intense in his efforts to save Gwen from the dark tower. He regretted his inaction, and so he overcompensated and charged into danger without thought in order to save her. Again, it's a great little tragic circle: Elyan was too passive in letting Gwen suffer, and so he tried to fix this by becoming overly reckless and getting himself killed instead. Morgana set up the trap with the thought that Gwen's husband would be the one leading the charge, but she failed to consider that her brother would be the one most focused on saving her.

Anyways, there's like three Gwen and Elyan plot points and they're all fascinating to me. What do you mean that Elyan has spent his entire life trying to find a balance between adventure and loyalty, and he never quite got it right. What do you mean Gwen will always protect him anyways, because he's her brother and she loves him.

Chapter 81

“You keep some…very interesting company these days, miss,” Charon said from his seat at the wheel.

Chloris turned back around while Beetee and Johanna continued bickering with Finnick making unhelpful but amusing interjections. “Tell me about it,” she grumbled.

“And you said they’re you’re…friends?”

“Best friends forever, right, greenie?”

Chloris rolled her eyes. “Johanna has her own way of showing affection.”

“Yeah, it’s called torture,” said Finnick.

Helloooooo!

I'm not dead! It's not dead! Our heroes MIGHT be dead! (jest)

Enjoy!

Not only is having intergenerational friendships literally not creepy, imho it's actually essential. You NEED friends who are older to do things like help you when there's a problem with your taxes, and give you job advice, and relationship advice, and especially if you are part of a marginalized group, and especially if you're part of a marginalized group and don't have contact with a ton of other members of it, you need older friends to show you that there IS a future for you, for people like you, and what it looks like, and the way it doesn't even have to involve turning into your parents

[directactionforhope]

Also, it will make you much, much less terrified of aging, which will help you on a mental health level obviously, AND also on a physical health level and financial level
