MERLIN REWATCH ✦ 1.05 Lancelot

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.

Here more info on the ableist situation that I could find

Here are the rest of the sceenshots on what he said!

Am quite shocked that this drama hasn't been talked about much, but at the same time, I can see why it isn't talked about.

Basically, the youtube channel named Cartoon Universe made a video taking about the new helluva boss ep.

Well, the thumbnail contained leaked storyboards

He has changed the thumbnail into this. To my knowledge, he has not made a statement regarding this situation.

But the whole reason I wanted to make a post of this situation was because of this comment

I feel like the sceenshot is fake, but maybe there is a possibility it is true?

I mean, cartoon universe is not channel I regularly watch or really care for. But to my knowledge, he has not gotten into any drama regarding being ableist.

So, I wanna to see if anyone knew more about this.

Every time I reread these stories:

sobbing and crying at the woman who stole a meth addicted kitten from her dealer and then she and the kitten got clean together

Does anyone remember that velvette supposed to be a witch/potion maker?

I sure didn't!

I was checking her wiki because I wanted to include something about her during a conversation with my friend.

And I read about how she made love potions with the help of Valentino. And then I remember the whole she is a witch/influencer/fashion designer.

I don't know whether making her have a talent in potion making is a good idea when everyone forgets. Or it mashed in with her other stuff.

some drawings I did for my digital art final 🦐

*after a pendragon family dinner*

Merlin: Ugh, this family makes me want to murder people.

Arthur: You are not part of it??

Merlin: Still.

(And he does)

lol arthur realizes with the other knights after watching merlin flirt and being hit with a wave of deja vu: holy shit you asked me out

merlin and the rest of the knights around a campfire after leaving a village bc lancelot and leon somehow started a brawl in the tavern: ???

arthur points at merlin: after valiant! you asked me to buy you a drink! you were asking me out!

merlin is busy cooking dinner and confused out of his fucking mind: what???…..valiant….oh the knight with the snakes.

gwaine who was slightly tipsy now stone cold sober and sitting up straight against a tree: wait. explain. what do you mean merlin asked you out??

arthur snaps his fingers as he recalls the memory: i apologized for sacking you and you said that if i bought you a drink we’d be even.

merlin now remembering how he had stumbled into camelot, picked a fight with a pigheaded bully which quickly turned homoerotic and flirtatious, and continued their teasing-flirting for days before merlin shot his shot and asked the prince out only to be rejected: oh yeah, i forgot i did that…..wait, you mean you didnt realize what i was asking?

arthur: no?? we argued everyday, how was i supposed to realize you were asking me out??

merlin now abandoning the dinner and staring across the camp at arthur while the rest of the knights watch their back and forth like a game of tennis: to you we were arguing, to me that was very much flirting. i thought you were flirting back so i decided to ask you. then you rejected me

arthur, mentally beating his past self up for fucking up their chance: i didn’t reject you!!! i just didn’t realize what you were asking me. how was i meant to? we fought every chance we got

leon, nudging elyan, glee and excitement riling through him: its happening!!! its finally happening!!! seven long, grueling years is finally paying off!!!

merlin, realizing the misunderstanding and acknowledging the fact that he wasn’t rejected, his flirtations just weren’t noticed - realizing he still has a chance: oh…oh i see. arthur, my dear, our fights were extremely flirtatious. need i remind you of what you said? “do you know how to walk on your knees? would you like me to teach you?” or “i could take you apart with one blow”

arthur, mental capabilities at an all time low: m…my dear….?????????

merlin grinning devilishly as he realizes that his flirtatious persona he had hidden away after falling head over heels for arthur can make a come back: that is what i called you. should i call you something else? say…mine?

percival gags in elyan’s ear: cheesy

elyan hides a laugh: at least they’re finally getting somewhere. better than the hopeless pining

arthur, flushed from head to toe: ah uh no um im uh

merlin thoroughly enjoying himself: oh come now, your majesty. use your words.

Hey, so Angel and Valentino are not a hate-love relationship

Valentino is Angel abuser and also his r@pist

Valentino shows all these toxic behaviors towards Angel

And for the people want anymore proof

Hazbin Hotel episode 2 shows Valentino making a lot of belittling voice mails to Angel

Then episode 6 shows Valentino literally hitting Angel and reminding Angel he owned by Valentino

I also include these sceenshots to show the differences between a toxic relationship and a hate love relationship

What Angel and Valentino have is not a hate-love relationship, it a toxic relationship

One admires Perfection the Other Embraces Imperfection
