I'm Continuing My Very Lengthy Ff (after I Finally Finished My Exams Whoop) And I'm Currently In A Scene

while revising some of my ocs, i realized how odd it is that everyone in the hellverse either speaks english or has it as a secondary language. putting aside the reality of hazbin/helluva being tv shows produced in america by americans, there should be a LOT more characters who primarily speak a language other than english or use outdated english (and no zestial doesn't count the mf was in like one episode). i also want to see more bilingual characters that aren't spanish. where are the french-americans. where are the russian-americans. it can not be hard to find voice actors who speak a language other than english and spanish.

i don't mean to alarm anyone but i think sir gwaine might be having an illicit love affair with the king's manservant

But what if Merleon

i think arthur started loving merlin in episode 1 btw he didn’t quite realize it but like the moment merlin talked back to him he was done for yeppp merlin didn’t reciprocate until arthur followed him back to ealdor tho and showed he cared not only for him, but his home and the people he loved

they were still too stupid to figure it out tho, but in my mind they start hooking up somewhere in season 2….

Ok so i love Merlin magic reveals but theres just something special about Merlin Dragonlord reveals

The ones where Arthur finds out and suddenly realises "HolyshititoldMerlinthathisownfatherwasntworthatearwhyishestillatmysideimahorribleperson-"

And i've seen several versions of this reveal and what the responses would be

But i haven't seen one i had in my mind

Just imagine this: Merlin grows his hair out ("no, gwaine, im not copying your hairstyle stfu-") and grows a beard

And Arthur thinks it's hot that he looks oddly familiar but can't place it

He tells tells Merlin this and Merlin sits there in cold sweat thinking Arthur is connecting him to Dragoon or something

It takes Arthur a week (A whole week!) to figure out who bearded Merlin reminds him of

They’re sitting around the fire on their way to a quest or whatever

And Arthur looks at Merlin who's attempting to carve what looks like a misformed dog from a piece of wood when Arthur suddenly gets flashbacks to that time The Great Dragon escaped and they went in search for the last Dragonlord.

Balinor. Merlin looks like Balinor.

And now that he sees it he can't unsee it. It's uncanny how much they look alike. Almost like father and son...

And that is how Arthur realises that he never defeated The Great Dragon and that Merlin is in fact the last dragonlord and "shitshitshitmyfatherruinedhisfatherslifeanditoldhimnottocryaboutit-"

Ignoring the fact that Uther believed that Dragonlords were too close to magic Arthur confronts Merlin about it, and promises him it's alright, it will all be alright. And Merlin can barely get out a word before Arthur hugs him, both of them pretending that Merlin totally isnt crying.

Arthur takes any books on dragons and dragonlords he can find and gives them to Merlin.

(Bonus points if Merlin lets Arthur come along the next time he summons Kilgarrah for help and Arthur promptly kisses Merlin after hearing him use that voice because 'holyshithessohotwhattheactualfuck')

((Even more bonus points if they adopt Aithusa together))

Honestly, I wonder if octavia knows her parents are getting a divorce.

I mean, she doesn't understand how her parents didn't hate each other when she was younger. So like does she know her parents are getting a divorce, or does she think her parents are taking a break.

I think octavia is aware of her parents' divorce.

I mean, in the episode seeing stars, we see stolas yelling at stella on the phone, and in the background, we also see stella stuff being put into moving trucks. So they are not really hiding their divorce from her.

I don't think octavia is aware of the full picture on why her parents are divorcing. For all we know, stolas could have just told her a white lie or never communicated the full truth on the reasoning behind their divorce.

Honestly, if the show takes this path, it would be very interesting. We could see andrealphus or stella manipulate or lie to octavia into believing that it was because of stolas cheating that they got a divorce.

Also, I want to point out that sometimes kids aren't always aware of their parents fighting. Some parents make an effort to fight away from the kids or fight when the kid is distracted or sleeping. Also, young kids may not fully understand the argument. So, they might simply tune out or dismiss the conflict altogether.

Sadly, since we don't know much about anything related to how octavia childhood was (other than some short clips) or her relationships with stella.

We can just assume stella and stolas agreed on tolerating each other for octavia sake. But the tolerance for each other broke once stella found out stolas cheated on her with an imp. So, that is why octavia growing up didn't really realize how much her parents didn't like each other.

When I saw this, youtooz shadow(?) alastor figure

I just thought of this:

I know this sounds like a horrible thing to say but...I kinda hate Gauis.

Like seriously... it boggles my mind that the fics I've read with Morgana views this man in such a warm light when he not only gaslights her about her magic but blames her for the choices she tries to gain her own autonomy whilst he steals it from her by keeping her in the dark of her own magic.

Like he has the audacity to compare Morgana to Merlin? He's accepting of Merlin's magic and gives him the tools to learn and control his own magic meanwhile Morgana is not only kept in the dark but given no guidance...

And it's her own fault for choosing Morgause.

Honestly out of all the "good" characters I wished died, I wish it was Gaius. I hate that he survives the series.

They should have made him a Roman with loyalties to Lucius Tiberius and then he betrays Camelot reluctantly and then we can see that scene of Gwaine loosing his temper and lopping Gaius' head off. That would've been a joy to see.

Telling Merlin that he did the right thing by murdering his friend because she chose to use her magic wrong, never mind that nobody was helping her in the first place and she was on her own. Never mind that everyone decided to initially gaslight her.

No fucking accountability.

Day 2: Knights in Shining Armour

Merwaine! Mer-what? MerWAINE! Mer-who? 

OR: The moment Merlin / Sir Gwaine became Canon

So  just in case you didn’t know, and no I won’t ask any questions… out loud  BBC Merlin takes place in the Middle Ages. Which is all fun until you end up participating in a jousting tournament or a melee by accident and there’s people running around who have magically sharpened swords! 

I know. Wrong place, wrong time kind of situation. Kind of sort of maybe just a little awkward. Unless you end up going on purpose! 

Like Gwaine did in the fourth episode of Season 3, when he returned to Camelot, after having been banished by Uther Douchedragon because he supposedly attacked a knight. Oops.

Technically he did attack a knight, since only the audience knew the man was actually a bandit under a magical disguise at the time, but that’s not really the point here…

Right, so back to the melee.

Or wait. Before that we might want to go back to the beginning of the episode for a minute, just to remind ourselves that Gwaine woke up naked in Merlin’s bed got taken to Camelot to get his wounds treated. You know, the wound on his leg which required Merlin to… take the man’s shirt off…?!

Okay now definitely back to the melee!  Gwaine returns to go fight and stand by Arthur’s side when he unknowingly faces the Extra Pointy Magic Blades™.   The episode was called Gwaine, our boy really didn’t have a choice but go back and save the day, did he?

For those of you who know me… I’ve got a thing for Knightly Favours (aka the ribbons Knights tie around their arms to show the world who they’re fighting for, which is also a promise to come back home to their beloved and return the favour to them as soon as the battle is over)

So imagine my surprise when Gwaine came back to fight in the melee. AND was wearing a Knightly favour… And not just any Knightly Favour. He wore a strip of white bandage cloth around his left arm! The bandage Merlin used to care for his wounds. And he wore it for the whole world to see, right then and there on the melee field. 

To show who he was fighting for. 

And to promise Merlin he’d come back one day. 

In conclusion. Merwaine was canon. Change. My. Mind.
