//Welp another Tetro Stream so you know what that means people.

//A lot of heavy stuff happened here. And lots of emotions.

//As always expect my write up when I get around to it. Until then have a Mai pic.

//At some point I need to a video of her meowing so you know she sounds like.

//Probably when it gets really emotional.

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.

hanaaa ☹️ i want to write a series and i have the perfect idea but i'm scared that i won't finish it. i want to make it a long series but i've only ever written short stories. can you help me out oh great writer goddess? 🙌

araaaa ☹️ you’re so cute. this is so valid! committing to a series, especially a long series, is so difficult. i think the only piece of advice i can give you is to take your time! the best work always comes from attention and love, so make sure you really like the idea you have. draft an outline for the series and for the chapters and then get started! there’s no time crunch, regardless of people saying “when’s the next chapter?” and “how often are you updating?” ignore them. this is your story, and you get to set the pace.

even if you get started and write a few chapters, and then suddenly you can’t write anything else, that’s okay. i promise it is. creativity comes and goes and you aren’t a bad writer for abandoning the series.

i think you should definitely start the series! even if you don’t finish it, your wonderful writing will be out in the world and i know so many people will love it. besides, it’s always nice to try something new! that way, no one can fault for you not trying.

There’s something mesmerizing about the fingertips of Dana Gavanski. Conducting each note with a light gracefulness, they appear to dance whilst aiding their owner in expressing the stories behind each of her lighter-than-air tones. Stories which, on her new album When It Comes – out April 29 via Flemish Eye (and Full Time Hobby outside of North America)  – may never have been heard if not for healing ‘lost’ vocal cords and a lesson in taking the rough with the smooth.

“In many ways this record feels like it is my first,” Dana tells. “When I could use my voice, I had to focus so there is an urgency and greater emotional trajectory than before… it’s very connected to vocal presence, which extended into an existential questioning of my connection to music. It felt like a battle at times, which I frequently lost.”

Arriving where introversion and extroversion meet, When It Comes is Dana’s most vulnerable record to date. A Canadian-Serbian artist unafraid of extremes, she seamlessly blends her love of music from the 50s-70s with mythology. Led by instinct in its purest form, Dana’s latest chapter is an ode to the voice as an instrument – its power, and how intricately it can deliver words to tug at, and tie knots in, every heartstring. “Words can be taken quite literally, but to me, a lot of the time, they are pivots. They point in a direction but don’t necessarily stay there,” she says.

The follow-up to her 2020 debut Yesterday Is Gone was started in Montreal, ended in Belgrade, recorded back in London at Total Refreshment Centre, and then mixed by Mike Lindsay (Tunng, Lump). It offers something altogether more atmospheric and widescreen, as heard in the idiosyncratic carnival arpeggio grooves of the first single ‘Indigo Highway.’

When It Comes:

01. I Kiss The Night 02. Bend Away & Fall 03. Letting Go 04. Under the Sky 05. The Day Unfolds 06. Indigo Highway 07. Lisa 08. The Reaper 09. Knowing to Trust
