happy international women’s day
remember the "Seven Days" book? About Ban and Elaine and the week they spent together?
i want one of that with meliodas, Elizabeth and Merlin. not so much because of the melizabeth (even if it's much welcome), but because of the the older-younger siblings dynamic.
more specifically, i what to see the moment that meliodas decides to tease the crap out of a younger Merlin (who had all the confidence, but only a quarter of the knowledge and experience) and Elizabeth realizes that, first, "on my goddess, they're bonding! :D" and second "oh goodness, he's a troublemaker :|".
i want to see the face Elizabeth makes when it downs on her that the guy she likes is a lil' brat. that she's planning her eternity with a gremlin. that whenever they meet a new child, he will terrorize the poor thing even after they marry.
i crave the expression of someone that knows they're doomed and yet continue. she has already chosen him anyway.
(is dipshit /affectionate/ still used for this kind of situation?)
Okay arthur so the burn marks (theyre not even actually hickeys idk why he called them that) aren't appropriate but you're okay with showing off your whole chest to these teenagers? #hypocrite
it’s Valentine’s Day AGAIN?
I was thinking about this and I just wonder why Guinevere said "someone whose heart you can never have". Why never? There are only 3 possibilities:
1. She is basically incapable of loving someone. And we know this isn't true because she had a crush on Meliodas when she was 12-13 (which is utterly STUPID and I refuse to accept that it was that serious) but anyway that means she's capable of liking someone romantically.
2. She's dead... Which, could be but I don't think Arthur is crazy enough to kill the woman he supposedly loves (which is, once again, STUPID) and she's also powerful enough to protect herself from anyone who tries. And I'm not coming up with anyone in particular who would want her dead...
So, that left one possibility.
3. She already loves someone else.
And again, I'm not coming up with any name (except for Escanor)....
The fact that Guinevere knew it wasn't the real Merlin implies that she must have seen the real Merlin in her vision, doing something that confirmed to Guinevere that she's not on his side/her heart doesn't belong to Arthur. Or Guinevere was just saying things to hurt/offense Arthur and I'm reading too much into it lol
I’m thinking about the Camelot squad. I’m thinking about the Camelot squad again. I can’t NOT think about the Camelot squad!
So basically the Camelot squad is (officially) Merlin, Arthur, Guinevere (my version), Morgana, and Morgause.
(Kay is an unofficial member-ish, sort of)
Before S3 & S2 of 7ds (and 4kota), the Camelot gang was just basically a happy (found-ish) family unit (is it found family if 2 members are your half-siblings and another is your future wife? -Arthur)
Merlin was basically more of a parent than Uther was (no surprise there, Uther is always a terrible parent no matter the work).
Morgause is Arthur’s full sister (same parents) while Morgana is their half sister (same dad but different mom). And Guinevere is Arthur’s arranged fiancée for political purposes & arranged political marriages.
I keep thinking about Pre-S3 Camelot squad and how happy all of them were. Morgana being Merlin’s pupil in magic, Morgause & Guinevere looking at Merlin for advice since she’s also a woman and she’s older and she’s in a position of power in Uther’s court, Arthur looking up to Merlin because she’s the closest thing that he has to a parent and she’s his main teacher.
Morgana who was going to be the Royal Mage of Camelot after Merlin and be able to stay beside her brother instead of going back to her dead other father’s (Gorlois) lands.
Guinevere who’s going to be Queen of Camelot and rule alongside Arthur just like she’s been told her entire life, wanting to be like the fair and beautiful queens in the stories, and wanting to be a good queen that is loved.
Morgause who felt unloved & unwanted by Uther being happy to be with her siblings, friend & future sis-in-law, and her sort-of-not-quite favorite teacher. Happy to finally being loved and cherished instead of being ignored and downplayed.
Arthur who wants to be a good king. Arthur who wants to make his father proud of him. Arthur who doesn’t really remember his mother. Arthur who sees Merlin as his idol and his teacher. Arthur who sometimes feels like Merlin is kind of what a mother is technically supposed to be.
And Merlin, Merlin, Merlin.
Merlin who wants to resurrect Chaos. Merlin who thinks that Arthur will make the best host for Chaos. Merlin who finds herself being protective over Arthur and his sisters and even for little Guinevere.
Merlin who finds herself teacher not just her future king, but his two sisters and his future queen. Merlin noticing Morgana’s magical potential and making the young girl her new pupil (Vivian was a disaster, maybe Morgana will be different).
Merlin who thinks about Elizabeth when she’s with little Morgause (so happy despite being so lonely and sad. So wonderful and so much like her mother (Ygraine), fair-haired and blue-eyed and so very resilient)
Merlin who finds herself giving advice to Guinevere in how to be a queen just like she does with Arthur in how to be king.
Merlin who finds herself caring about all of these children. These wonderful and bright eyed children who dream of a better future, a better world, and a happier ending.
Something, something it’s a tragedy that in WIC (and LSK) the Camelot gang split apart and you can barely recognize it anymore.
Arthur only has his widowed sister Morgause (heartbroken, grieving, and empty inside) and her children left with him.
Morgana ran away with Guinevere and 1 month old Mordred to Liones and hasn’t exactly looked back since. (She’s trying to figure out a way to get back her precious sunshine baby brother, but she’s kind of realized that her Arthur is as good as dead)
Guinevere ran off with Morgana and baby Mordred because she couldn’t take it anymore and she also couldn’t stand to lose yet another child in the New Camelot.
Merlin is nowhere in sight and no one exactly knows where she is right now. (Morgana resents her for putting Chaos in Arthur, Guinevere doesn’t know how to feel, and Morgause just doesn’t care anymore)
Kay….And Kay is just here wondering what exactly happened to the once happy familial group with a bright, beautiful, and golden future ahead of them.
Today is my little boys birthday💖 so happy birthday Mordred x3 and tomorrow's Gowther's and then his big sister Gawain's
I just love them so much x3
More of Gawain and Mordred from my fanfiction 💛 and one old doodle with Merlin x3, ( I wrote a little one shot about how Merlin became mother and how she left Arthur; when I finished the translation I'll publish it x33)
Arthur Pendragon of Camelot (7Deadly Sins) Head Canons
This is my first attempt at writing headcanons. I've recently been rewatching the anime Seven Deadly Sins and have grown fond of King Arthur. After giving his character some thought this is what I came up with.
Has a strong passion for adventure. Likes to travel and find new discoveries.
Although he is very skilled with the sword and receives praise for it. He sometimes has doubts in his abilities and doesn't think he's all that great because he's yet to awaken his true potential.
Appreciates Merlin for her guidance, training, and staying by his side. Sometimes he wishes she'd let him have some space. He knows that she means well and is only looking out for his well being; but he wants the opportunity to be able to prove himself all on his own.
Looks up to Merlin for her wisdom, strength, feats, battle strategies, and abilities.
Cringes whenever others get the wrong idea about his relationship with Merlin. He has acknowledged her beauty and wit; however he just can't come to view her in a romantic or intimate light. It's simply because she's the only person he's ever had close to a maternal figure.
Has had a few moments where he almost had a slip of the tongue calling Merlin his Mother.
Is unaware of Escanor's jealousy towards him. Has tried to make small talk with him before but failed. When he finally got a break through he found delight in conversation and was given new combat tips.
He actually looks up to the Lion Sin in ways similar to how he looks up to Merlin.
Enjoys hearing Escanor recite his poetry during the evening time when ever the sins gather for drinks and food.
Secretly ships Merlin with Escanor. He has never seen her involved with any one before. However after seeing how fond the Lion Sin is of her, Arthur began to root for the tall, burly man in hopes that he'd win the Boar Sin over. If he wanted to see his mentor happy with anyone it would be Escanor.
Has nightmares about Cath from time to time. He's too proud to tell Merlin and sometimes has trouble going back to sleep when ever he has one.
Will get triggered when seeing a domestic cat walking towards him or within his vision in general. He's aware that their harmless, but the very sight of one reminds him of how Cath resembled an innocent animal and then transformed into a vicious bloodthirsty creature.
