PLEASE REBLOG SO MAYBE CN WILL STOP MAKING CRAPPY REBOOTS OR AT LEAST BRING BACK CARTOONS THEY CANCELLED! HECK, THEY SHOULD BRING BACK THE CITY! 

speaking of how to train your dragon and creature design, the shift from the really naturalistic art direction and character animation for the first movie's toothless- the face getting flatter, the eyes bigger and closer together, getting rid of the little realistic details like the dust collecting between the scales, the pink splotching where the scales end at the nostrils, the muted markings, the animation making a shift from largely realistic animal behavior to much more anthropomorphic- is such a huge downgrade to me, made worse because it's subtle in such a way that you will sound insane if you mention it

(huge L for the "the audience's capacity to find a creature cute and empathetic and expressive is directly proportional to how much it looks like a human baby" principle of character design because the first one is so so much cuter)

hey wait we need to talk about this conversation more

Love them uwu

Merlin Au (Woy)

Alright! First off this is an au that will have many many many MANY MANY characters in it! So I'll gladly let anyone join if they're interested in the au!

Starting off with the kingdoms in this au. All kingdoms will be galaxies and the planets in them will be the land that the rulers rule over!

King Donnie

The first kingdom being Camelot that is run by a ruthless king named Donnie. After someone he cared deeply about was taken away from him by magic, he forbids magic to be in his kingdom and to whoever has magic and or practices magic, they're sent to their deaths.

Dominator (First and second half)

Thankfully, Donnie has a dear friend who he took in after helping her father win a war. The father sadly dying in battle. The king will do anything she says and will believe her until his untimely death.

Dominator for the first half was a nice and caring woman despite being born as a witch (without the knowledge of the king).

She was always caring for her maid and kind to people in the kingdom. However, she began having terrible nightmares of her dying over and over again with a strange face looking down at her before striking her down.

As this goes on, Dominator starts to slowly become evil after practicing her magic, keeping it hidden from the king.

In the second half, she begins to grow a hatered for the King making her want to kill him along with his younger brother Prince Darren so she may take the throne and rule over the kingdom, making magic free.

In the third part, she fully becomes corrupted with her power and does everything she can to kill prince Darren.

Prince Darren

The heir to the throne of Camelot is Prince Darren, the brother of Donnie. He's a snobby, self centered posh boi. Unlike his brother, he's a brave man and won't turn down from saving someone. Also he cares a lot for his horse Gerald! Despite being a lil asshole, he does have his kind moments and will show it to certain people or joke around with the knights (Knights of the round table), seeing them as brothers.

Nicola

One day, a young woman comes to Camelot seeking out a place to stay with her dear friend and mother figure Nicola. Nicola works for the King and has known him for a few years. She was a sorcerer herself and practiced black magic, but has sinced stopped due to the rule from the king. She works as a medic and helps the people with herbs to heal the wounded knights or civilians.

Toons

The young woman named Toons arrives at Nicolas lil shack where she lives inside the castles walls.

While Toons began making herself comftable, she accidentally knocked over a bucket of water before turning around and using magic to stop it mid air making her eyes glow a light orange. This of course isn't allowed to be seen by the public, which causes Toons to try and keep it a secret unless she wants her head rolling on the floor.

While on errand for Nicola, Toons stumbles across a man running for his life and passed her. She looked to where he ran from and was face to face with Prince Darren. After some insults were thrown at each other, they began to fight, causing Toons to barely escape him using her magic that the oblivious prince failed to notice.

Further into this story, Toons attends a dinner party with Nicola who was invited by the king to eat at said party.

Unfortunatly, bandits attack the party, going after both Prince Darren and the King. Thankfully the King could fend for himself, killing the bandit that was after him but wasn't able to reach his brother in time. Thankfully, Toons was and grabbed a sword, plunging it into the bandits back and killing him.

From that day forth, the king declared Toons as a servant for Prince Darren for saving him.

King/Lord Hater

The second kingdom is ruled by a horrible leader, who is allies with king Donnie. He attends the parties that Donnie hosts and will bring his servant Peepers who will soon to be his husband, along with his son Prince Wandy.

In public, Hater is seen as a serious and dangerous man, yet he will have his moments of being a dork and stupidity. He will show his gentle side yet will also be an asshole.

However, around Donnie he doesn't show that he has powers and plans to kill the king himself to overthrow Donnie's kingdom. Him being behind the bandits at the party. The bandits were slaves of his who were forced to obey or he'd have them exectuted.

The kingdom Hater rules over is a strict one. The people who live on the planets are filled with fear and will do anything the king asks/orders them to do.

Further into the story, He will begin to have alliance with Dominator, working with her until her plan fails and leaving her on her own. Banishing her from his kingdom.

Commander Peepers

Comander Peepers is also more serious, keeping the king in check and making sure the people on each planet are following all the rules the king has ordered, sending knights to keep people in check. If the people fight against the rules, they are killed or taken away to be tortured until they obey the law.

Peepers also keeps the prince in check, making sure the kid attends meetings, parties, dinner and plans for the kingdom. He enjoys his job, no matter the amount of times he's yelled at, he'll follow his kings orders and perform them as perfect as he can. If he fails at an order, he would begin to doubt himself as a good fit for the kingdom. Peepers may seem as a stone cold watchdog, but he does have emotions too. He cares deeply for his king but won't show it in front of Hater.

Whenever the young prince is caught stealing bread or entering the Tavern(bar), Peepers would feel embarrassed to go collect him, having a whining child to go keep in check. He would also have to help teach the kid magic, sword fighting and continue to tell him each day about his contribution to the kingdom along with the ancestors who ran it before Hater.

Prince Wandy

This small poof of orange is the future heir to the throne when Hater retires (due to him being a skeleton, he wouldn't die and just be watching over his son and keep him in check as a king).

He's incredibly curious ever since he was a child and has always seen Hater as his father, not knowing about where he actually came from. He was only a baby when Hater found him.

As a child, he likes to run around and cause mayhem inside the castle walls, not caring for many of the people who work there, especially the watchdogs. He would mostly run to get away from Peepers, so he could roam around the city.

Wandy sadly isn't allowed to go outside without someone with him, so he would drag either a poor watchdog or order a poor man who's working there to escort him around. He usually likes to either ditch said person and watch them from afar freaking out or ditch them to go to the Tavern, which is basically like a bar/pub.

Of course being a child, he isn't allowed to drink but it won't stop him from trying any chance he gets until he's dragged back to the castle by Peepers.

He practices and learns a lot from both Peepers and Hater but his least favourite activity would be history. He doesn't much care for the past or future, only wanting to be in the present and have fun while he can before becoming king.

The Watchdogs

To keep it short, the watchdogs are loyal and will fight to the death for their king. Protecting Hater at all cost. Some watchdogs will be more frightened than most but will work more out of fear than loyalty.

The knights of the round table

The knights of the round table are knights of Camelot. They are a symbol of bravery, locality and truth to the kingdom. They will protect Prince Darren in the future. Some of these knights will consist of commoners after the king has died.

Wander

Wander is a kind and caring orange looking furry spoon that travels to different kingdoms, mostly avoiding Camelot due to magic being forbidden. He travells with a friend named Sylvia who he met a long time ago during a war that he thankfully saved her from.

He's not exactly a sorcerer but keeps his hat a secret so it doesn't get taken away from him or him being seen as someone who should die. His hat is still magic but he isn't. The hat still gives Wander what he needs and not what he wants, he's incredibly respectful to the hat and cares for it.

The only person he's comftable with letting know it's magic is Sylvia and a few folks he's met and befriended along his travels.

Sylvia

Speaking of Sylvia, before she met Wander, she had worked for Hater before he had Wandy and Peepers. She worked for him for about a year until she was sent to a war that would have killed her.

Thankfully, Wander was there to help her get out of that situation after being swung by a powerful blade to the side. Wander thankfully took care of her and over time she began warming up to the lil weirdo. She now travells the kingdoms and lands with her friend.

That is until she meets Prince Darren and Knight Toons who, after a mishap, she's offered a job as a knight to serve Camelot.
