hii it's me again :D

this is probably a boring question so I'll think of a better one, but opinions on gaius?

O boy it's not boring at all, darling! Probably cause there is no easy answer - tbh I don't know how I feel about gaius.

Gaius is shown from merlin's perspective, so we mostly see him as this grandfatherly figure which does make him sympathetic, but then as the show progresses we see more of him and learn all the things he has done during the great purge, which makes you second guess him.

Then there isn't only his past, but what he does during the show which is very two-faced - lying to morgana and refusing to help her yet he helps merlin, he can't seem to decide whether to see uther as a good old friend or as an old tyrant, supporting uther in his crusade against magic yet helping ~some~ magic users etc etc

Sooo...I do like gaius, but I also don't, you know?

As a character in a show he is just great, especially with his narrative function - very ambivalent and morally grey

let's drink too many spirits, and talk about too many spirits, it's too many spirits *drunk giggling intensifies*

changing someone's contact name is such an intimate thing to do. the inherent happiness of when elin from work becomes elin ♡♡♡ or nila became bestie twin. when a relationship changes, when you fall in love, when a friendship was made.

but also the inherent sadness of getting rid of the hearts next to someone's name or changing it back to first name, last name....

you know what steven, you are damn right

do you ever think about how many times you've said yeah I get you to someone who is struggling to find the words to voice their thoughts. and how many times your perception of what they were trying to say is completely wrong and you've misunderstood them, because you filled the gaps with your own perceptions, thoughts and world view...

bfu is over, the spirit box has been terminated and we concluded that ghosts might be real, or they might not be and that's ok, maybe we'll never know.

the case remains unsolved....
