I Really Wished They Had Let Everyone Have A Chance To Pick Something Out For The Exercises & Not Just

Whatever you do, don't imagine Gwaine marveling at Merlin's magic and telling him its beautiful and Merlin blushing and being so pleased at having someone who knows and enjoys his magic. (also don't imagine Gwaine kissing Merlin at random times just to see his magic spark and do things) (poor Gaius has lost more glass jars as casualties of Gwaine's sneak attacks than Merlin cares to admit to)

OH NO

Imagine Merlin needing a lot of time to get used to someone actually truly appreciating his magic so Gwaine is constantly emphasising how much he loves it to reassure him and OH NO imagine Merlin realising that the last time someone appreciated his magic like this was Freya oh my god

And eventually as Merlin actually comes to terms with Gwaine liking his magic, he starts using it more and more (in private of course) to make him smile and to feel that little bubble of pride in his chest because he’s making someone happy. With his magic.

Imagine one time Gwaine is seriously injured and distressed - he can’t get out of the cot, he’s got a fever, maybe he’s a bit confused about where he is - so Merlin sits with him, telling him a story and creating pictures with his magic, using the flames of the candles or the water from a nearby bucket or the sparks from the fire, and he rambles on and on, barely even knowing what he’s saying, and making pictures to go along with it, and Gwaine hears Merlin’s voice and sees the magical pictures and he relaxes because maybe he can’t get out of bed, maybe he’s in pain, maybe he’s confused, but he knows Merlin is there so he knows he’ll be okay.

Imagine occasionally Merlin’s nightmares get the best of him and his magic throws things around in his sleep. He wakes up to see Gwaine’s room an absolute mess, broken furniture, overturned candle holders, a smashed window. And Gwaine’s leaning over Merlin, looking frightened, and Merlin thinks “this is it. I’ve done it. He’s scared of me now.” But Gwaine, ignoring the mess of the room, searches Merlin’s face and asks “are you alright?” Because he’d been trying to wake Merlin up for what seemed like far too long and Merlin had been so terrified and he hadn’t known what to do. And he lets Merlin fall apart in his arms and he holds him until the shaking stops and finally, much, much later, Merlin looks again at the state of the room and he’s worried all over again, he tells Gwaine he’s sorry and he’ll find a way to fix it all. But Gwaine just smiles because Merlin’s here with him and he’s safe and he’s okay so who cares about his damn room, it was too ostentatious for his tastes anyway. And they blame it on a drunken night getting a bit too wild when people ask about the window and the furniture that has to be replaced, and the whole time Merlin’s nervous, sure that someone’s going to figure them out, but Gwaine just holds his hand and keeps talking to the guard and no one suspects a thing.

AND I COULD PROBABLY KEEP GOING FOREVER BUT THIS IS ALREADY TOO LONG I’M SORRY

I have a au idea.

Noodle Ninja Au

So essentially this au is built on the prospect that Kai from Ninjago look like Mk and Red Son from LMK. The idea is that years later, MK and Red Son get together (Spicynoodles) and have a child together (Who we'll call MS) Everyone is happy and stuff. Until the child reaches the age of two (human years). It is discovered that MS have both of his parents powers. How they find out? MS burns the house down by accident and another time accidentally make hair clones of himself. So naturally everyone starts freaking out. Then, Sun Wukong offers to temporarily lock some of MS's powers away, just until he reaches a certain age. Mk and The Red Son agree to this.

For a while everyone is happy. But qué some villain or something and MS is taken away to only Budda knows where. While everyone is freaking out, two people named Ray and Maya find a two year old on their door step in a separate realm called Ninjago. They decide to adopt this child seeing they can't find his parents. They rename him Kai. You can guess the rest.

tbh I'm pretty upset about Rosie being the owner of Alastor's soul. Like, they had the potential to have a beautiful cannibal friendship and Viv just fucking ruined it. Also them being besties would have fixed one of the main problems in Alastor's ace rep. Viv has implied that the reason Al is aroace is bc he only truly loves and cares about himself (which is a horrible stereotype of aroace people). Al having a close friendship with Rosie and ACTUALLY CARING ABOUT HER would have rectified that but noooo mean lady gotta bully the pwecious bean

When that scene officially shows, Radiorose fans are going to be in SHAMBLES. I feel so bad for them but at the same time I can’t wait for them to potentially argue with Vivziepop on bluesky. Oh, so Alastor is basically a narcissist (wait, can I say that?). That explains why his merch says “love yourself” it’s not him practicing self love but him caring about himself. 💀

Headcanon (4)

The reason that Sir Gwaine and Sir Lancelot never truly became friends is that Gwaine had always been and would always be extremely jealous of Lancelot.

Because he just knew that there was something between Lancelot and Merlin that he didn’t know about and that he couldn’t truly grasp even if he tried to. And he knew that there was something that Merlin was keeping from him and apparently Merlin had decided to tell Lancelot of all people.

Perfect, stupidly honorable Lancelot.

And yes, maybe Gwaine was a little bit too possessive sometimes, but Merlin was his first friend and his best friend and he surely wouldn’t lose him! Not to Sir Lancelot!

S3 Predictions for Helluva? Critical critiques? Theory's?

Here are my mediocre predictions:

- Stoliz censored sex scene.

- the most stalest love triangle known on earth and Hell: Vassago/Blitzø/Stolas.

- Stolas singing and crying about Blitzø, Vassago, and Octavia. The usual.

- Stoliz kiss scene.

- Vassago and Stolas kiss, Stolas regrets it later on.

- Octavia being unhappy, missing Stolas, and realized her mistake.

- The standom still hating on Octavia and hope she dies.

- DHORKS kidnapped Stolas and use their pope army to overthrow Hell.

- DHORKS (agent 1 and 2) get killed. Government moves on and pretend that nothing happened.

- Humans on earth are still dumb.

-IMP never gets human disguises.

- Striker backstory of a blue blood similarly looking like Stolas who killed his friends and family.

- Striker and Stella become a thing.

- Striker kills Andrealphus.

- Cherubs end up homeless again and potentially trapped in Hell.

- Millie gets pregnant with twins.

- Crimson kidnap said babies and Moxxie finally takes the win.

- Millie and Moxxie have an argument and Moxxie is like “we are lethal team, we do everything together, and I love you.” Convincing Millie to have kids.

- Stolas gets custody of Octavia and Stella is pissed.

- Stoliz argument about Octavia.

- Barbie Wire makes a return somehow and Blitzø talk about the past and pisses off.

- Loona is mute for a few episodes.

- Loona is actually decent and doesn’t act like a mega bitch.

- Loona goes to another party.

- The bare minimum: Loona episode.

- Oh yeah, the Stella backstory but the stans still hate her and focus on Stolas.

- Stella’s backstory isn’t really a backstory but like a compilation video, acting the audience knew what they were getting into.

- Loona and Vikki become a thing.

- Seven Deadly sins with celebrity voice actors.

- Bel and Leviathan are chill and have a musical number.

- Glitz/Glam are secretly the daughters of Leviathan.

- Mammon/Striker/Crimson/Stella team up.

- The status quo reset and IMP goes back to killing people.

- Buckzo (Blitzø’s father) returns; Blitzø and him fight. Blitzø tells him, he ruined his life.

- More self loathing from Blitzø.

- Vassago bootlicking Stolas.

look i know i've talked about it before but it was more from the angle of analyzing how this plotline could have been about persephone legitimately overthrowing hades, and not from the angle of how this one scene completely undermines all of rachel's manufactured attempts to "create a dialogue" about sexual assault and consent

and i'm specifically referring to THIS SCENE.

honestly hades is a toxic piece of shit himself who deserves jail for life but like. the tonal whiplash of this comic often has me feeling torn between "persephone is a victim of grooming who became what she once despised" and "persephone was actually always a deeply insecure and manipulative person and that's why she and hades get along so well" 💀😭 regardless of whichever conclusion you come to, neither of them are exactly indicative of a writer who really understands consent or healthy relationships, because despite whichever scenario makes the most sense, rachel still tried (and in many ways, succeeded) to convince her audience of girls and women alike that these two are healthy couple goals and that her extremely limited 10th grade understanding of consent and sexual health was "helping people"

and yes this further cements persephone as rachel's self-insert

because while she's gone on record to say she's never been sexually assaulted, she has admitted in interviews and social media posts to being in similar situations where her autonomy was being invaded upon

including a literal REAL LIFE STALKING SITUATION

like. that is an incredibly shitty and horrifying situation to be in. and i wanna make it clear, i'm not trying to use this against her in any way. this is something she didn't deserve to go through and reversely, does deserve to move on from.

i bring it up though precisely because it's incredibly telling that she, as a writer who claims she wants to use her platform as a means to "help people", is not capable of actually practicing what she preaches, and thus her characters aren't capable of doing that either. she's still exhibiting and glorifying behaviors and traits that align with the people who have harmed her, because HADES LITERALLY FUCKING STALKS PERSEPHONE AND IT'S PLAYED UP FOR COMEDY-

THIS SHIT WAS IN THE PILOT VERSION OF THE COMIC TOO, BEFORE IT WAS EVER AN ORIGINALS SERIES. HADES HAS ALWAYS BEEN WRITTEN LIKE THIS AND IT'S ALWAYS BEEN ROMANTICIZED AND PLAYED UP FOR GAGS.

LIKE I'M SORRY, IS THE "DECONSTRUCTION" HERE JUST SUPPOSED TO BE RACHEL TURNING HER OWN TRAUMA INTO COMEDY INSTEAD OF GOING TO THERAPY ???

FUCK.

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.

LMFAO toxic polycule with three way cheating all around. Arthur and Gwen are married but Gwen is also having an affair with Lancelot who is having an affair with Merlin who is having an affair with Arthur who is having an affair with Lancelot who is having an affair with Gwen who is having an affair with Merlin- idk how they get caught/exposed/confess but I just think toxic polycule whatever the fuck their ship name is is kinda funny. Also. Gwaine is there? For some reason? Hes Merlin’s boytoy on the side. Arthur has angry sex with him when the agony of lying to your three lovers gets too much and Gwaine pushes him just far enough. Oh, and Gwaine’s boyfriend Percival is over there holding hands with his boyfriend Elyan who is also Gwaine’s boyfriend.

Oh. This is definitely all leading up to Camelot being a huge polycule. Isn’t it? Leon is in a qpr with all of them. And hates it. (Just kidding, he loves all his idiots. He just wishes they made better decisions. Or let him rest.)

lol Morgana betrayed Camelot bc she got voted out of the polycule. Gwen stands with her hot canceled wife.

Idk where this is going anymore. It started off being a silly haha mutual cheating idea I was laughing at but now. Now we’re here.

btw whenever Arthur's talking to Merlin and he tags on "Merlin" at the beginning, end, or in the middle of his sentence for seemingly no reason, it's because he's showing his love.

keep track of how many times Arthur unnecessarily tags on Merlin's name. he loves saying his name. he loves the way it rolls of his tongue. he loves that it's a way to have Merlin in his mouth without the vulnerability.

it's his love language
