I hope op knows how correct they are and both sides of their pillow are cold tonight and many nights more
Warning, there will be talks of spoilers of season 2 because I will be mentioning the leaks:
Every time viv says something is going to be the greatest thing she ever made or loves, it ends up being... how to put it lightly... really, REALLY rushed or bad.
Like I'm seeing the different ways on how the season will be rushed. Due to the leaks, we know that Alastor will be kidnapped by Vox at some point, so I totally see Viv and the writers rushing to get to that plot faster.
So the less interesting plot points are left in the dust until Viv and the writers remember about it and quickly have to include it in some way.
We were actually robbed of seeing Arthur with knowledge of Merlin’s magic. He would be insufferable. Can you imagine. His stupid cocky face when an enemy thinks they have him captured and disarmed, only for him to drop some cringe line like:
“You’re just too stupid to think outside the box.”
Before Merlin emerges from the shrubs and eviscerates every single one of them. & Arthur looks at him stupidly impressed and they share one of those long, knowing looks. Like. They could never have done it because it would have been so sexually tense it would have knocked every viewer out. Cowardice.
The envy Arthur and Lancelot would have had for each other must have been insane.
Because Merlin is secretive with Lancelot. He tells him things he would never tell Arthur, he opens up to him and Arthur knows he can never have that trust. Never have that closeness not while he’s king and Merlin a servant.
But to Lancelot he’s been secretive about protecting Arthur. It all resolves around Arthur, opening up about protecting Arthur, giggling over using magic to please Arthur. Lancelot knows it will never be him on the other side of the devotion not like this.
just like he will never be Gwen’s because she loved him once yes but at the end of the day it’s Arthur she chooses.
and in Arthur’s eyes Lancelot is Gwen’s first love will always be known as such and will always be looked at as such even if she loves him she loved Lancelot first and Arthur can’t help but think if she could have him she would.
Anyway I’m so sane about them and at the end of the day how they still understand why it’s like this because they would choose the other as well.
Did anyone else forget about this necklace?
Like this piece of information is so forgettable! This jewelry can protect the user who wears it, but it has never been mentioned again since this short.
There are so many questions I have!
● How does the merch company know how to make this?
● Is the company owned by heaven? (Or the very least angels)
● Does anyone else know this type of jewelry exists?
● Is there more jewelry like that out there?
Honestly, I wished they played more with this idea. Instead of a stort, it was a full episode of I.M.P trying different ways to kill her.
It starts with blitz because he believes it is going to be a normal, easy job that he can do by himself since moxxie sick, millie on a another kill job, and loona is busy with getting clients schedules to work. However, over time, he calls for backup one by one.
It goes millie, loona, and finally a very sick moxxie.
Blitz - "Mox, I gonna be real you look like shit."
Moxxie - "Thank you, sir... now what the problem? All I see is a normal human girl."
Loona - "That normal human girl necklance is literally helping her survive every trick we got on killing humans."
Millie - "We have tried everything! We tried the axe trick to-"
Blitz - "To the rope trick I did at your guys' 1st date."
Moxxie - *blowing his nose* "Then why I'm here? You couldn't use the Grimorie to find more information?"
Loona - "We already tried to find more information on the necklace in the Grimorie, but we couldn't find anything other than the user willingly has to take off the necklace."
Then Moxxie goes up to Emberlynn, then we have the exact same scene in the short where Emberlynn is, "Oh demon, you here for little old me~? But instead of Blitz, it Moxxie
After all that, she takes off the necklace for Moxxie, and Loona/Blitz is like, "we wasted the entire day for this when we could've called Moxxie ages ago."
And Millie is being held back from stabbing Emberlynn even more.
DREW LEON FROM MY FIC BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I NEEDED A VISUAL FOR MYSELF
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 recently browsed the Hazbin Hotel subreddit (seriously, don’t go there—it’s a minefield of die-hard defenders), and I stumbled upon a post responding to a critical take about Vivziepop’s apparent lack of attention to the broader LGBTQ+ community. The critical post raised some valid points, but the reaction from the posters was… interesting, to say the least. Here’s what they shared along with their response to it:
Critic: “Hey, maybe we should include more representation in the show since you claim to love diversity and call it a queer show! :D”
Hazbin hotel Reddit: “They’re forcing Vivzie to slap random labels on characters! It’s unrealistic to develop every character’s identity!”
Somehow, though, they conveniently overlook the fact that characters like Barbie Wire (who appeared in just one episode), Octavia (who had only two), Vassago, Mammon (who had a single episode at the time of this post), Beelzebub (one episode), and Chaz (who appeared in just one episode before presumably meeting their end) all had little to no development prior to their respective Pride Month reveals—and yet, they all had their sexualities confirmed out of the blue. In fact, Vassago’s sexuality was even revealed before his debut, all the way back when the trailer for Season 2 first dropped.
On a more serious note, if you believe that representation only “counts” when characters explicitly state their queer, trans, or otherwise marginalized identities, here’s something to consider: a character’s sexuality or gender identity doesn’t always need to be the focus of the story nor does it need to be justified. By that logic, why is Blitzo pansexual? Why is Angel gay? Why are Loona and Charlie bisexual? Why is Mammon asexual? Why is Vaggie a lesbian? These identities are just part of who they are and they don’t need to define their entire narrative. In most cases they might only be mentioned in passing or through jokes. Visibility doesn’t always require a spotlight or a deep narrative explanation, sometimes, it’s enough for it to simply exist.
Can’t stop thinking about a very specific dynamic
A healer and a knight fall in love.
The healer spends hours healing everyone but themselves. Caring for the sick, stitching wounds, setting bones, pushing dislocated limbs back into place. Wearing themselves to exhaustion.
The knight gently tends to the healer. Holds them in a hot bath, rubbing the soreness from their muscles under the warm water. Applies balm to their chapped fingers. Brings them tea and tucks them into bed before climbing in beside them.
The knight defends everyone. Fights off the enemy with a sword and a shield, takes the blows intended for someone else, holds the line until help arrives, fights through any and all injuries they need to in order to defend those under their protection.
The healer defends the knight when they’re down for the count. When the knight collapses, the healer takes up their sword and defends them until they get back to their feet. If someone dares to say anything against their knight they get in their faces and the healers words are sharp and cold as any blade, cutting deep into their opponent.
