That time of year again!

#it me #my art #i put my arm behind my back there cuz im gettin a new tattoo on the 22nd and didnt wanna have to update this ahfkkw #meet the artist

You know what i find quite interesting, Merlin is not Gaius' apprentice. He is not at any point in an apprenticeship. Its so commonplace fanon that id wholey assumed that he actually would become an actual apprentice at some point. But no, never in canon do they refer to him as Gaius' apprentice. Merlin is his Assistant. And as such isn't really expected to be learning anything nor is he being taught. He's just there to run errands really, which makes sense cuz its all just a pretense anyways.

#unless that happens in season 5 or something but i doubt it #merlin

Apparently when someone goes "which of these two heroes would win in a fight?" The correct response is not "well why are they fighting?"

Personally i think its a relevant question but powerscalers Do Not Agree

Evolving as a person! thought for sure my friends would suggest a moody/mean character as the one i should have Gregor romance(based off previous favorite characters of mine) but instead they were like "no you specifically would love Elliot" i dont know what this implies about me but

#the reasoning behind this is because i really liked Gustav from spirit farer apparently

playing Stardew Valley for the first time with some friends and they both just made themselves the farmers while i made this weird lil emo guy

The lore so far is that everyone in pelican town loves Gregor actually

#to be fair i WAS gonna make myself #but i was playing it on a steamdeck and ive never used one of those before #so i kept hitting the toggles when i didnt mean to so i just wound with like random shit

Week 3!

Ive always loved Freya and the idea of her being Merlins first lost love. I was very attached to the whole storyline as a teen. However reading their relationship as more about him finally connecting with someone and feeling attached to her and sorta misreading that as a romantic feeling makes a lot of sense too. Especially if you're reading having magic as being an allegory for being queer.

#it doesnt negate that he let her feel loved after enduring such terrible hardships #honestly watching it as an adult its hard to see them really as in love #Freya doesnt get to exist long enough to feel anything for him other than a sense of comfort or gratitude #and also crippling guilt #but honestly find myself siding with Gaius a lil #Merlin doesnt know her and she doesnt know him #merlin

Convo with my teen brother today

Bro: can we go see Obsession

Me: huh?

Bro: you know the one with Zendaya and Tom Holland

Me: HUH?!?

Bro: its starts with an o...

Me: you mean The Odyssey

Bro: yeah that

#he isnt really into horror stuff #hence my intial confusion

Ultimately i think s4e7 is a good episode and I especially like the conversation Giaus has with Arthur at the end of the episode.

I like how it includes the only instance of Aggravaine telling a believable lie (tho its to Gwaine)

I kinda like the way Arthur guiltily stalks around the room avoiding Giaus' eye contact while Aggravaine questions him. I think its an interesting framing, Arthur physically distancing himself from this moment. As well having Aggravaine sitting reminded me a lot how Uther was often framed. Its a neat parallel.

I despise how it rehashes conversations and actions from the previous episode rather than building off of it. Like Aggravaine casting doubt on the knights followed by Arthur rejecting the idea kinda works because Aggravaine doesnt realize Arthur had this conversation with Merlin already. But simultaneously Aggravaine taking charge of the "theres a mole, we have to figure it out" thing feels like backtracking. Arthur was already on top of it and his conclusion WAS Aggravaine. It wouldve been interesting to highlight more Aggravaine's desperate fumbling to convince him as a means of distracting from his own treason if Arthur had not immediately believed him in the previous episode. If only Arthur's suspicions stayed on Aggravaine until he managed to set up enough clues leading to Gaius instead. At the very least I appreciate that Arthur did not fully believe the traitor to be Gaius, and that his reaction to it being "proven" was to simply let Gaius leave rather than persecute him in any way.

I liked Merlin and Gwaine running off together.... this wouldve been an Arthur and Merlin quest against Uthers wishes just a season ago.. :(

And I liked Alator ultimately siding with Merlin.

Tortured once more by how EASILY they couldve killed Morgana and yet didn't even try

#merlin #i had some reservations #and put off watching it cuz i was pretty sure i didnt wanna see the antigaius bullshit that was absolutely gonna happen #but i was pleasantly surprised to find Arthur too hated the whole thing
