#bbc merlin spoilers

[southfarthing]

guyssssss I think it's time. we all need to quit our jobs and rewatch bbc merlin together

[enchanted-blade]

I saw the best minds of my generation lost to bbc merlin

[thealogie]

Early Merlin is so funny because Merlin is hacking away at their red string of fate trying to cut it off and then you blink and suddenly he’s getting walked on that red string like a dog

[thatoneannoyingbtch]

Eventually your favorite fandom will forever be forgotten... except you the Merlin fandom you'll never die out and its kinda concerning.

[unfortunatelymerlin]

bbc merlin has a lot of faults but i do think the way they blithely ignored the existence of christianity was very funny of them

[literally-irreverent]

"#'old religion' they said. and then simply said nothing of a new religion" yeah Uther Pendragon, noted athiest. Entirely agnostic court. It's crazy that there's no belief system backing anything up. Like, we're going to get by on vague prophecies but also prophecies are magic which is evil. Divine right of kings but no divinity. Mirrors and mirrors but no windows.

can I fucking help you, my liege

[dollopheadedmerlin]

The way BBC Merlin wasn't sure what demographic to create for is so funny because it means we get season 1 jock Arthur and wimpy secret talent Merlin going on little adventures and then by season 5 it's like hey Arthur are you prepared to face the ghosts of the children you killed during the genocide?

being anti-divorce is so fucking bonkers to me like yeah i think you're morally obligated to stay with some shithead who you hate forever. this is a normal and healthy thing to believe. let's have kids together and force them to grow up being raised by two people who hate each other. yeah this might fuck them up mentally during the most formative years of their life but it's the morally righteous thing to do. if there's one thing god loves it's traumatized children. i'm getting into heaven for sure

HOLY SHIT GUYS, I WAS INSPIRED BY THIS POST TO TRY MAKE THE SONG AND YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT WHEN I DRAGGED THE TRAINING AUDIO OVER THE BACKING TRACK AND IT LINED UP PERFECTLY

Visit Original Link

Tempted to actually put this on spotify so I can secretly stream it at work...

Tagging @batshit-auspol because as an Australian you're the only big account I know who might share (sorry).

[punkrorschach]

happy first day of pride everyone

I listen to this song at least 2 or 3 times a week and multiple phrases from it have become vocal stims in our house.

It's very clear that Andrew Tate and other "redpill" influencers of his ilk didn't understand The Matrix (or maybe didn't even watch it) it they think that escaping the Matrix means living a life of luxury and fame. They got it exactly backwards.

Escaping the Matrix in the movie means living a life of hardship and discomfort. But it's a life that is full of genuine experiences and connections that aren't designed to exploit you.

To hammer the point even more, the motivation of the traitor character is to live a life of luxury and fame inside the Matrix, not caring that it's fake.

[lookinggoodinplaid]

I think a lot of those people see escaping the Matrix as "you get to warp reality as you see fit and have superpowers." They see privilege as the reward for their efforts of understanding the systems in control of our world.

They forget that it means knowing your body is still in the real world, fighting against the cold and metal that want you dead for as long as you live outside of their jurisdiction.

They don't want to escape the Matrix. They just want to rule the Matrix. They want to be Agent Smith and think they're Neo.

A regular part of my job is trying to reach out to people who have been quietly trying to make their community a better place; the volunteers, the teachers, the fucking. People who rehabilitate injured wild owls in a Quonset hut in the woods, and to a one this is the kind of person who immediately reviles at recognition. The kind of person who immediately says that they never got into this to get praise for it, and that they’d infinitely prefer to quietly plug away at this anonymously forever.

And from this I’ve always drawn two conclusions:

To always distrust Mr. Beast and his ilk who always want their acts of charity done on film, because the people who really want to do good and have no motives to do it besides the doing it never want recognition for it, and

That there are, in the dark, in the quiet, always people who are doing good, and the reason you don’t hear about it is because they’d rather die than receive recognition for it, but they’re real; they do exist. And you are never alone
