come to think of it, Ron (and Percy, by default) must've been a borderline transfiguration prodigy.

…? no–! don't walk away–come on, i promise it makes sense–! HeAr Me OuT!!

here's my argument: human transfiguration is infinitely harder than transfiguration done on inorganic substances and animals–probably something to do with the human brain and whatnot. imagine how complicated it would be to transfigure an already transfigured human. astrophysics. probably needs a huge magical capacity and output. cut to Peter Pettigrew just existing as Scabbers, which makes him the unfortunate 'pet' Ron (and Percy) practices on.

this was really glossed over in the books, but imagine how held back Ron (and Percy, though i believe he overcame it due to sheer grit and will) was by this. of course, he wasn't necessarily a natural talent (given the borderline part), but he was capable enough to adapt and somewhat succeed.

Percy must've been the real prodigy, given he was never mentioned to complain or struggle. (he was too proud to show weakness, and decided he will not be held back, persevering until it looked effortless, or at least up to par with everyone else. Percy Weasley, i love you. such a shame you were shoved to the side, and never had your aspirations and dreams realized (and changed to fit the more mature and aware mind of an adult.) because JK's golden girl simply had to become minister. #girlpower or something. to hell with character potential to keep the main characters relevant and just Better™.)

imagine McGonagall using Scabbers for a demonstration, then going 'that's not right…', because that took more effort than it should have, and then oof–trips on a landmine.

they handle Pettigrew, and a huge scandal comes to pass in result. after everything is dealt with,and things are relatively stable, she begins paying closer attention to Ron, who is progressing much faster on the practical front without an animagus to bog him down. he's got potential, and with the added attention from a newly invested teacher, he'll flourish.

Percy is a whole other story, though, because i'm ready to bet that McGonagall would keep an open offer extended to him to earn his transfiguration mastery–under her tutelage–if he were to ever reconsider career choices. (Professor Weasley?? i'm down, be it either Ron or Percy, it'd be equally interesting to see it play out.)

Guys I'm so fucking smart-

Jax's nickname for Gangle is Ribbons.

Kinda sounds like...

Ribbit.

Jax also has this delusion that she and him are friends and always partner up in group activities (gun ep)

my theory? Gangle came to the circus after Ribbit's abstraction and Jax tried to turn her into an emotional replacement for his lost friend.

But Gangle didn't act like Ribbit, didn't act the way Jax wanted her too. She was too shy, submissive, and non-confrontational.

So Jax bullied her, taunting and using her "wrong" traits against here (ep2). Parhaps trying to get her to "fix herself" out of self-hatred. To get her to grow out of it and act more like Ribbit.

Instead it heightened those traits through emotional distress, Jax has completely ruined any chance at true friendship with Gangle. So now he projects his self-hatred onto Gangle, making her his 'toy' to torment and place blame.

gods of the forest

Since the possible appearance of Zaza, the rain goddess, was revealed, some people on Twitter have been saying that the current "user" doesn't necessarily have to be female and they said this because of the possibility that Dragon is the current user .

So my stupid, fanciful head thought... and if gender doesn't matter, neither does quantity. So what if there was a god who decided to split himself in two? What if this was the god of the forest?

This isn't a serious post btw, it's just a silly idea. I think it would be fun if Loki and Shirahoshi were the two chosen ones.

For this reason they have similarities even though they seem like opposites, because they are literally each other's half, like a platonic soulmate (cause they are the same person/god)

Silly art!

I'm just combining two theories I like lol, it's cute

I just realized something-

Back in, what? TPOT 16?? Idk- One made it so that everyone would remember the original timeline despite the changes being made in time. And now pencil is back in the past trying to change everything. Unless one ACTUALLY fw pencil like that, THEY’RE ALL GONNA REMEMBER AND NONE OF HER EFFORTS EVEN MATTER IN THE LONG RUN.

ty for listening to my bfdi rant bye bai :)

CHAT I JUST CAME UP WITH AN INSANE THOUGHT,,,

What if Bullfrog actually isn’t the last assassin alive of the brotherhood and is either

1) unaware that there’s more assassins out there

Or

2) IS aware that there’s more assassins out there, and is lying about being the last one left to throw off everyone else, and still keep the brotherhood a secret

I personally like option 2 better because it’s not out of place for the brotherhood to make a 200 IQ play hehe

I said I'd explore the first seat, second seat and third seat. So let's do that.

Going completely based off of @kiirostarz theories.

And I mentioned this in the other time travel post as well, it's never made clear whether we were always supposed to travel back to that time, or it is something that happens in this progression of events; either of these could give drastically different answers.

Let's take the case in this post, that it was a change in history.

(a LOOOT of assumptions below btw)

This would imply that in the past, before Merlin goes back, Gala had been sacrificed, and there's a high chance that a lot of the events of the season didn't conspire the way they did(i.e peace talks between the Arcane Council and wildborn, the magic circle thing, the flooding Halia). All this just means that the war between the halians and the wildborns would have happened earlier than we see(plus with Gala's sacrifice, they would have had the blessing of Azora as well), let's just say, since we were the ones to bring Perseus in front of the temple without us, he would have directly gone into war, and he dies etc etc she goes berserk, even if we WERE to assume that Dura in some way or form managed to take Azora down, she but wouldn't have been able to kill her at that time.

Anyways, long story short, if Merlin had not gone back in past, it would have been significantly different from what we know. The only reason I have difficulty agreeing to this theory is because of the murals(THE MURALS, THE FUCKING MURALS, THE BANE OF MY LIFE). We're gonna forget about the murals for a second here. I feel like a lot of Morgan's capabilities are brought to light because we were able to somehow join the Arcane Council with the wildborn,.

What I mean by this is, I think before we went into the past, the 2nd and the 3rd seats of the Arcane Council didn't exist. Gala wasn't alive, so that means that the seat of Galahad didn't exist, and in the case of the seat of Morgan, I don't think that would exist either. The reason being, I don't think the apprehension towards necromantic magic is ever cleared(WHICH IS WHY I WANT YOU TO SHOW THE FUCKING CONSEQUENCES LILITH), and since no one ever seems to see him as anything more than the weird guy who does early era post mortem and uses death like it's his personal servant(even if later on he helps dura defeat azora) he slowly goes into obscurity(until he becomes the god of death, that broody asshole).

anyways, tl;dr I choose to believe that AFK did indeed see the quences of the cons when Merlin comes back to the present and hammie says that Morgan and Galahad are the 2nd and 3rd seats in the Arcane Council.

What would really be interesting to see in S3 is Stolas finding the “Stolas” button — from S1 ep 1 — underneath Loona’s desk and I think that he’s going to either take that negatively or be genuinely curious as to why he has a personal button 😂

Or is it maybe like the “ghost” thing knowing that Blitz likes ghosts— so what if it’s possible that they’ve done the deed inside of the I.M.P I mean I wouldn’t put it past S1 Stolas and considering that in “Seeing Stars” S2 Stolas he KNEW exactly where to find Blitz during work hours

Either that or he saw where Blitz’s company was via the bath bubble (again similar to 1x01)

.... I figured out what Niffty did with her "collection"-

Most of us remember this scene, right...?

Well, recently a lot of pride month merch was released, and one outfit in particular caught my attention. Niffty's.

That fluff around her neck looks very familiar. I think she found a use for Val's fluff-thing.
