The forest was a fairytale today

He's so precious 😭

Hi, this is a little Gang Orca appreciation comic for his birthday inspired by Horikoshi’s notes on him ! Please enjoy

Here's a quick au idea that just came to me today:

In a modern au where Merlin is still waiting on Arthur, historians recently discovered a whole batch of legal documents from Arthur's reign. These documents detail many changes he made to the laws of Camelot, including the repeal of the magic ban (which the historians assumed was just a halt on witch hunts).

However, one thing that the historians note as strange were the large number of laws that only applied to the king's personal manservant, who was never mentioned by name in the documents. These laws range from oddly specific, such as 'the king's manservant shall not accompany knights to the tavern', to downright bizarre decrees that make no sense, like 'the king's manservant is hereby forbidden from pointing out stew in the king's hair.'

The historians' first guess was that perhaps King Arthur was going a bit mad in his later years, but they didn't find any other ludicrous laws besides the ones pertaining to his manservant, which then led the historians to question the identity of this manservant and his relationship to the king.

All of this culminates in a historical exhibit showcasing the documents and postulating on this mysterious manservant of king Arthur. Many scholars flock to the exhibit, eager to examine the documents and debate their meaning and impact within a historical context.

Which then leads to a very tired Dr. Merlin Emrys, a medieval history professor, being dragged by his colleagues to see the exhibit and having to stifle is laughter as these world-renowned scholars tear their hair out trying to understand what was essentially a prank war between him and Arthur.

AU where Arthur finds out about the prophecy and pieces together that "his closest ally Emrys" must be Merlin because who else would it be, but incorrectly assumes that Merlin doesn't know and therefore has never practiced magic before.

Even better if he finds out early season 1 so He's just so devastated the entire time and he's just like "I can't believe this, this prophecy is going to turn my best friend into a sorcerer, and it's all my fault for being the once and future king" and Merlin's in the back just murdering a sidhe

😭😭

the real reason keith and lance get stabbed in the guts so often in fanfiction is bc their fuck ass armor has only fabric there. like what is that gonna do against a sword…. serving waistline will not stop a blade

Aaaahhhhh I’m so emotional rn, I’m reading the official Merlin book and FUCKING FUCK FUCKERY, IT’S SOOOOOOOO GAY. I ALMOST CRIED!!!!!!!!!!!! Arthur keeps looking for Merlin in the crowd when he’s fighting in the tournament and THEN HE WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW MERLIN WAS THE ONLY FACE HE WANTED TO SEE. NOT HIS FATHER’S, OR MORGANAS, OR GWEN’S!!!! And then when he finally found Merlin, THE BOOK SED THAT THEY STARED AT EACH OTHER. STAREEEEEED. until Merlin finally broke it by grinning really widely. Fuuuuuuuckkkk. AND THIS IS THE SECOND. EPISODE. SECOND!!!!!!!! U can’t tell me that on the last one they aren’t gayer than gay pornOH MY FUUUCKING

After 1500 years, Merlin thinks it's better to keep his aquired wealth hidden. It's all for Arthur anyway and Merlin would get bored without working hard everyday.

So he just - works a lot. To get away from the stress he takes a couple years off of doctor work and works as a barista in a coffee shop instead.

And then Arthur returns.

And Merlin is deeply embarrassed when Arthur sees him and asks him how he's 'sunken so low' (from working for kings to serve at a pub). Their initial fight about this topic becomes legendary in the history of the small local coffee shop.

And the regulars notice that Arthur ... Very quickly becomes one of them. He and Merlin bicker often and always and it seems like Arthur doesn't have a job at all, which makes his initial comment even worse.

He has also, somehow, never drunken coffee before? And still doesn't like the sweet stuff, as if he'd never had sugar in his life.

He stays everyday, for as long as Merlin works and then they leave together. Merlin takes Arthur to his apartment and every previous comment is stuck in Arthur's throat because modern apartments are beautiful? Not as big as he would like, but damn.

Merlin takes a month before he confesses to Arthur that he owns the entire building.

I need this in my life at a reasonable time of day

Merlin: *beaming* I could kiss you

Arthur: *stumbling over Chair, running into walls, nearly breaking his neck* y-yeah, haha. * leaning against the nearest wall like a loser.* You could

Merlin:

Having a child with Tomura would be like

Tomura: “Your Mom said it’s my turn on the Xbox.”

canon means nothing when I can shelter my blorbo and keep him alive through the power of archive of our own

I love my blorbo so much I need him covered in blood and beaten within an inch of his life

my first offering to the merlin fandom, good god i'm so obsessed. look at what i've done to my boy.

The fanfic writing community really isn't a nice place to be anymore. Among other problems one thing stands out to me: there are so many posts in writing groups on Tumblr etc about minor things people hate about other people's fics (and I really am talking about minor things here, like using too few paragraph breaks or having a few grammar mistakes because they aren't native speakers, for example) and it's just super discouraging for an insecure writer who sees these comments and takes them to heart. I get that some formatting choices aren't to everyone's liking, but why do people have to get mean about it?

.

Pardon me if I'm wrong

Perhaps I'm just an idiot

I do not take advantage of the road I take

Paved with the blood sweat and tears

Of my ancestors

I do not go to college just for a degree

The paper at the end of four years does not matter to me

The classes I take do not simply fulfill a requirement

I do not study latin just to say Pulchra Femina es to a friend

I looked at someone today, and

Yes, I was colored by curiosity

Becasue my life is more than a few words

Read from a computer screen for a test I will take on Friday

I do not learn to say I know

I learn to expect I know nothing

The classes I attend have a purpose

The money I pay

The debt I choose

Is not for you or my employer

To say that it didn't matter

Yes, my school is too expensive

And yes, the programs I participate in will decorate my resume

But today, I looked at my friends

Crowded around a table to have fun

Like childish adults just trying to make sense of everything

And I knew I never wanted anything less

Then an education.

I want to learn from my peers

Engage in this class,

Maybe try hard or not try at all

But give this road a chance to shine

For the rhyme

I will make of it

If education was free how many people

Would take a class just to know

What color frogs turn in winter

And if Edgar allen poe knew her.

I embrace my debt because it is a privilege

To know my family supports my decision

Even if my bank account runs dry

And the stress piles high

Because being educated is important

At least to me

And I can't

For the life of me

Think of a reason to ban it.

The children in the schools don't know their letters,

But they know how to hide from an active shooter,

They can't use their mind but

They can leave me behind

In a race for their lives.

Maybe I misspoke

I need to know my place, right?

I can't be too woke,

But dammit I can fucking fight.

Fight for the children who deserve to read,

Fight for the young adults who yearn to be

In college

Fight for the women who are fighting for their right,

Fight for the man I call my best friend,

Whose very existence is the definition on rebellion

Fight for the change I want to see,

Even if that change means going back to just yesterday
