Typical trope of the woman being better at archery than the man but the woman is Merlin and the man is Arthur (and the Knights).
It’s probably a bet or Gwaine trying to flirt with Merlin, or maybe Leon worries about his safety to the point he makes him, but one of the Knights offer to teach Merlin to shoot. They figure he’ll be safe as you normally need some distance to shoot and doesn’t require too much strength. (in the instance of Knights, they tend to not realise that a bow string is very taught and hard to pull if you want to shoot well as they are already sturdy in muscle.)
Gwaine goes to hold onto Merlin’s me show him a proper form but Merlin just scoffs and shoos him away.
Arthur finds it hilarious that Merlin is so confident as he thinks it will be funny to watch him embarrass himself, until he watched Merlin pull the bow with more ease than even the most trained archer.
Cue them watching Merlin shoot every target with as close to perfection as one can get (without controlling the wind).
Putting the bow down and blushing despite his prideful grin, Merlin just shrugs at them as if he didn’t just blow all their minds, “We had survive somehow in the village.”
Gwaine cackles with glee while Leon debates for illy picking up Arthur’s jaw.
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.
Merlin and Leon being immortal doesn't stop any wounds from scarring, they play as a reminder of what kills them every single time, and they can very much still feel pain from them.
So they took to treating the others wounds whenever they’re bothering them after they found out about each others immortality.
I'd imagine they both always have backup bandages and salve with them just in case the others scars start to bother them.
They sneak into each other's chambers (mainly Leon's) whenever they want to check over the other's scars, which most of the time ends up with them falling asleep in each other's rooms (which has caused many rumors..)
They also have matching scars, Merlin's burn scar from Nimueh and Leon's burn scars from Kilgharrah (headcanon) so they know exactly what the other went through.
another of my conference posts!
All Viv characters are majority mean-spirited.
Yes, there are expectations like Charlie and Millie. But the majority of both show all the characters shown are mean, hateful, or say inappropriate things towards other characters.
These characters never get called out on their behavior.
And it might be funny to laugh at the joke, but once you step back and realize if you were in Moxxie place, getting fat shame in your workplace by your boss daughter and the boss himself. It wouldn't be funny anymore.
Not to mention, it been shown time and time again that Blitz follows Moxxie and Millie back to their apartment. And either watches them outside or break into their apartment.
So, even at home where Moxxie is supposed to feel safe, he still puts in the position where he has to probably make sure Blitz isn't anywhere.
Hazbin Hotel, all the characters in the main group (expect Charlie and Sir pentious) are so mean-spirited that if they existed in real life, I just know nobody would actually try to stay in the same room as them then maybe a couple of minutes.
Honestly, I genuinely believe all the characters in their respective shows are all like the family members that dislike each other, but would still meet every Saturday for family dinner, then to just get in fight with another family member.
I'm going to be confessing something
I hate how all the characters don't have features that imply how old they died. Like husk apparently died in his 70s, yet no wrinkles? No gut from drinking? Or they could've had him having some difficulty running or walking since the older you get, it very unlikely you can run the same way you would 20 years old.
Nope, nothing.
Says the woman who would rather post about going to Broadway shows, karaoke, going to see movies multiple times, traveling abroad, and going out to eat than donate to charities or give to the more unfortunate. Fucking hypocrite.
Merlin: Ok, so I assigned Edward to be your servant for the week. And I had-
Arthur: Really Merlin, Camelot won't fall apart if you're gone for a few days.
Merlin: 🤨 *Sceptical but finishing cleaning up Arthur's bed*
Merlin: *Rolls eyes* Well, if that is all. Take care of yourself and I'll be back in the week.
Arthur: *Nods* Be sure to tell Hunith my regards.
Merlin: *Smiles*
Arthur: *Blushes*
Merlin: Lancelot, I'm heading to Ealdor. Finally got the Prat to let me have my days off. But I hate to ask this, can you please keep an eye on Arthur for me?
Lancelot: Of course my friend. You can count on me.
Merlin: No seriously Lance, this is Arthur we're talking about. With him you'll need to keep constant vigilance.
Lancelot: It'll be OK Merlin. I promise, nothing will happen to Arthur while you're away.
Merlin: *Deeply sceptical but seriously needs a vacation*
Merlin: OK.
Lancelot: 😊 Have faith. How much trouble can Arthur get into within a week?
[ONE WEEK LATER]
Merlin: *Back from Ealdor*
Camelot: MERLIN'S BACK! *Cue cries of relief*
Leon: Thank the gods! *Grabs Merlin before he could protest and informs him of the others*
[KING'S CHAMBERS]
Merlin: 😑 Arthur...
Arthur: *Looks away*
Merlin: 💢 Arthur James Pendragon, tell me why Gwaine and half of your council are in the dungeons, and why Lance is in the corner crying and- IS THAT AN ARROW IN YOUR ARM?!!! ‼️😠🗯️
Arthur: *Sweats* 💦
Lancelot: *Mumbling* It all happened so fast... The first day was fine it was normal.. Then.. Then.. 😭😭
Leon the only Sane One left: Then Arthur didn't like the servant serving him, firing them on the spot. Next came Gwaine commenting on Arthur looks without Merlin around. Then they started arguing and Gwaine went into the dungeons to prove some point about something.
Arthur: *Mutters* He said I wouldn't last a day. Told him he can't last sober.
Merlin: 🤨
Leon: *Sighs long suffering* Then a sorcerer, no more then a young boy came trying to kill Arthur and failed. He fell over Arthur's messy room and knocked himself unconscious.
Merlin: 😦
Leon: Next the council wanted to burn the boy but Arthur wouldn't have it and tossed half of them in the dungeons.
Merlin: 😑
Arthur: 😅
Leon: And today, when training, An assassin tried to kill Arthur and would have succeeded if not for the sorcerer boy who was again attempting to kill Arthur but moved him out of the way slightly instead.
Merlin: 😓 And where is Gaius?
Leon: There is a birth happening in the lower town.
Merlin: ... Get my Medical Bag and I'll take care of the wound. *Sighs* I was only gone for a week...
Lancelot: And Never again.
Arthur and Leon: *Nods*
Camelot: Never Leave us Merlin!
teeth! and wrinkles. i gave the bird teeth. and wrinkles.... so. hes more emotion... emotive...
this is the third try at uploading this
comparison
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
The general idea of this story was that Merlin came of age and as a tradition of his kingdom at that age, all the rulers of neighboring countries would send their prince/princess to ask for the hand of Merlin. Because the rulers of the kingdom of Merlin are dragonlords and sorcerers, and therefore the neighboring countries want this alliance.
Since the kingdom of Camelot is against magic, nobody expected Prince Arthur to show up, but he did.
Alone.
Balinor is suspicious, Hunith is supportive, and Merlin doesn’t want to marry.
Chaos begins. 😂
This was supposed to be for an event but the writer dropped out so I’ll post it like this 😌
Just a fair warning to anyone who wants to buy this shirt. Not everyone watches helluva boss. I repeat, some people are completely clueless to everything related to vivziepop.
So if you gonna go out wearing this shirt, people are going to actively think you support saying slurs or say slurs.
I know people are gonna say well the penguin saying slur's to i.m.p was a joke. But again, people who have never seen the show will think you support saying slurs or at least justify it.
