merleon as the round table parents
it started on a hunting trip, gwaine was teasing mordred and took his stuff and hid it. merlin told him very sternly to give it back and mordred said "thanks dad"
from then on they all started calling merlin dad
with leon it came slower and from lancelot. lance was struggling with his relationship with gwen and he confided in leon
leon helped him work through it and when lance left he clapped leon on the shoulder and said "thanks pops"
of course the others all found out about it and started calling him pops
neither of them fits into "mom" or "dad" categories but they each have a role
the kids go to leon when they need solid advice, when they feel like they cant handle something alone and they need a real answer to a problem
they go to merlin when theyre hurt (physically or mentally) and he helps heal them. they also go to him when they need someone to vent to and not get a real answer from, merlin is more than happy to bitch with someone and he'll hold your grudges for you
when on hunting trips, leon makes sure they have food and merlin prepares it and makes sure everyone gets their share
theyre equally protective of the kids and they'll work together to move heaven and earth for them
when they dont want to deal with the knights they try and pawn them off on each other. they ask merlin for advice and he says "oof that sounds like one for pops"
gwaine gets mad at arthur and goes to leon, who tries to give him advice, gwaine gets even more upset and leon calls for merlin because he cant handle the big shows of emotion
the kids all fight to be the favorite. arthur tells the others he has to be the favorite because he's king, leon grounds him for holding his station above the others heads
merlin's favorite changes based on how much trouble they've cause him
leon's changes based on how well they did in training
raising the knights eventually gets merleon together.
I really do think Beelzebub had the potential to be the most sinister of the Sins. She's the Sin of Gluttony and she encourages people to overindulge and act upon their vices (unless they're Mammon apparently) because she revels in excess, but what if there was a darker side to her?
Amongst the dregs of Hell, Bee is considered a blessing. A kind woman who will help those in need to find happiness and is always willing to lend a helping hand to the hapless nobodies. However, things are not always what they seem with her. In reality, she's a master manipulator and the biggest enabler in Hell. How she 'helps' people is by encouraging them to act upon their vices, not so subtly goading them into developing addictions. She always has a bountiful supply of products to feed into these addictions. Addictions they cannot financially support.
And who does she mainly target? Hellhounds and Imps! The lowest of the low, basically slaves! She builds a false sense of security and friendship with these poor Demons, pretending to understand what they're going through and making the friendless think they have someone who cares in this scary violent world. She preys upon the weak and vulnerable.
Due to her position and status, Bee has never had to worry about money issues. Her customer base however, they tend to reach the point where they can't support their addictions. Almost instantly, Bee will turn upon them, throwing herself a big pity parade about how betrayed she feels, threatening to cut off her customer. Unable to turn away from their addictions, they will beg for another form of payment, which is exactly what Bee has been waiting for. Her 'friends' will sell their souls if it means being able to feed their addictions, which Bee happily accepts.
At that point, Bee has won. She's earned another sucker's soul, where they will join her army of slaves to produce more of her delightful products, which will inevitably be used to lure in more unsuspecting victims.
Her influence is so strong that she has customers in practically every corner of Hell, all on her payroll. All suckered in by her kind facade and promises of numbing the pain.

Thoughts?
Why does the CANON KNOWN R@pist get a whole page to himself!?!?
Also, there is no way people find this dude sexy!??!
Look, I'm sorry if I'm sounding somewhat mean, but this is just so frustrating!
Like they could've one of the other characters fill this page like Vaggie, Husk, or literally any other character.
Yet they choose Valentino.....
MY REVIEW OF HAZBIN HOTEL EP 2!
~~~~
Summary of the episode:
This episode follows Alastor as he finally goes back in the public eye. In this same episode, we are finally meeting The vee's: Vox, Velvette, and Valentino. Now, for plot B of the episode, we follow the hotel as they receive a new guest... Sir Pentious!
~~~~
My issues with the episode short formed:
● voice acting (I explain later in full)
● When Charlie said she had to get done in 6 months
● The villains for the season should be switched around
● How they handle Vanlentino character
~~~~
My issues with the episode long formed:
● I heard Valentino voice for the first time, I legit thought, "Why is the Valentino voice changing?" Because Valentino had 10 different voices going on. I don't know if the va was nervous, so he kept messing up, or if he was struggling to keep up with the voice.
● in the beginning of the episode, Charlie was freaking out, saying she had to be done in 6 months. Which to me crazy! For example, if charlie plan of redemption is the first of it kind, why is she limiting herself to 6 months! Like that not enough time to prepare nor find out what she needs to do to help sinners get to heaven.
Like 6 months roll fast! Especially if you are doing something new and unique. Like things take time, that is why a lot of projects take years to take off the ground. So because of that, I do find it a little annoying whenever charlie brings up that she has to be done before 6 months. Because nobody actively told her to do 6 months, and we later see in other episodes that it stresses her out.
So why stick with the 6 month limition when it first stresses you out, and it really doesn't benefit anyone from I can see. Now I think about it, I do see why charlie wants to be done in 6 months, she want to prove to heaven that the extermination is not needed, but I don't know the hotel is not that main of focus to really care about the 6 month limition.
● I feel like the villains should be switched around. Imagine having literally Father of humanity and his right hand person against you, then only for the next season it just 3 people who apparently we supposed to be sacred of. It just feels like a down grade, so just switching villains around would probably just be more appropriate.
● honestly, I hated how Vox treated Val like a child. Like we supposed to fear Val, but honestly, I was just like, when is this gonna be over. I just didn't like how they just treated him as a kid instead of an adult. They do the same thing to charlie, where she more treated as a child than an adult. But charlie I get but Val on the other hand just no.
I would have it rewritten where Vox found out by himself rather than Val telling him. So Vox is doing his thing when his assistant tells him that the radio demon is back. Or Vox is stalking the big computer desk thing he has when he notices a familiar red deer. Either way, Vox rushes in Val room to tell him who is back in town. Then Vox is like, "he can't be back! I beat him fair and square! And Val is like, "Yes, you did, and you will do it again. I mean, you only have been getting more powerful. Maybe we should teach this deer another lesson."

I rate it 7/10, even though I had a lot to say. I really did enjoy it!
More of the manservant!Arthur AU (Part 1, Part 2) because the Merlin fandom surprised me by still being alive. Congratulations guys
arthur (in front of the entire court of camelot): i'd like to introduce the love of my life, the reason i keep living, and the biggest fucking headache i've ever had. merlin.
Passed down like folk songs, our love last so long.
Because it’s still Arthur and Merlin, after all these years. Together. Intertwined in countless tales interwoven with the history of these lands. Arthur and Merlin still fall together from people’s lips as they teach the next generation of the once and future great king and his sorcerer. Their names are still written in ink alongside the other on the page of yet another Arthuriana. Inextricable and integral. Together.
Gwaine in a large amount of Arthurian myths: I'm a serious knight and, while I do screw up occasionally, I try my best, which is the main thing.
Gwaine in Merlin: *swishing his gorgeous hair out of his eyes and revealing half his man-cleavage whilst he grins flirtily at Merlin* I'm bisexual, I'm Irish and I hate the monarchy; fancy a kiss?-
This isn't the checkmate you think it is, Morgana. If it was on Valentines day only, that would be one thing, but every single drop is sexy. Like every drop has sexualized merch and if anything, it makes you look like a bunch of overly horny women that never got laid.
This isn't limited to the merch either. The way Vivienne writes sex and inserts porn into her shows, even dedicating several characters to it (Angel Dust, Chaz, Blitz, and Verosika) makes her look like she's inserting it just for the shock value instead of having a mature discussion around sex. It's all very "Look at how perverted and horned up us women are! Aren't you shocked?"
Like I draw and write smut too, but it's private smut that's meant for my eyes only. You do know that you can make private smut art/writing without shoving it in your shows, right?
It's so immature. Just make a non-canon porn special and get it outta your system, Viv. Jesus fucking christ.
Gwaine - charm and eternal flirt. Gwaine was too good at this - ease, smiles, endless confidence. he didn’t just flirt, he did it so naturally that even merlin sometimes got lost.
Gwaine:. have you ever wondered why i'm always around you?.
Merlin:. because you drink in the tavern, and then someone has to drag you out?.
Gwaine:. oh, so you care about me. and here i thought i was the one courting you.
and while Merlin was protesting, Gwaine was already throwing him his most charming smile.
Honesty hate it in fanfictions where they make Merlin this little loser with no friends - like have you SEEN the show. Merlin is making people trip over themselves when he smiles. Everyone is in love with him and they almost fight each other just for his attention
