Do you think Geoffrey knew there was a dragon under the castle? He had to have been there when the dragon was imprisoned, and I can't imagine imprisoning a dragon could be done subtly or quietly. Plenty of people must have known about it. Which has a lot of implications on its own, but I'm just saying, Arthur was about to duel a dead, evidently immortal knight, his manservant comes in to the library to ask about immortal-knight-killing weapons, leaves as soon as he hears about the dragon-breathed sword, and the next day Uther kills the immortal knight with a super fancy new sword. Like . . . Did Geoffrey connect those dots? Be like, "oh, I guess the prince's manservant is in contact with the dragon under the castle. Perhaps someone should know about that." Then decides, "Nah I'm sure it's fine."
Which is kinda hilarious on its own but also I just wonder how many people might have had an inkling of how much Merlin was truly involved in the protection of Camelot and just didn't say anything for his (or their own future) protection. Maybe Merlin had more allies than he thought he did.

Watching quest for camelot I came across a question. When the sword was pulled out of the stone after Roger slammed it in, was Garretson sight returned or was he still blind at the end of the movie?

Magic Sword
Why, whenever there's a magical blade brought up in TV or literature these days, is it always Excalibur? ALWAYS fucking Excalibur, whether it makes sense or not.
Unless you're writing about King Arthur Himself, type 'magic sword' into google and pick one of those. Seriously people, it's not like European legend didn't have dozens of the damn things lying around.

Theory of Beyblade DJs: Their Job and Skills
***This is my personal theroy/headcanon of the role and training of DJs in beyblade aka I’m making this up while sorting providing proof.***
---------------------
Ok! So in beyblade, there are a few unique jobs. We obviously have bladers and mechanics, as well as several WBBA positions like special investigators and directors. However, there is a much more prevalent job in the series that is never explained: DJs. 
So what do DJs actually do? 
DJs seem to be the spokespeople for bladers and the beyblade world. They narrate and announce tournaments, traveling from competition to competition to give live and insanely accurate play by plays of everything that is happening in the stadium. 
But they also play another super interesting role, they endear the bladers to the audience. We see throughout the series (but in Fury in particular) that when Blader DJ is anouncing competitors in tournaments, he tends to add descriptions to them, similar to a sports announcer. This would allow the audience insight into the bladers they are cheering for, allowing them to pick a side if they hadn’t before. 
This aspect of being the bridge between bladers and their audience actually offers up a ton of interesting opportunities. For example, during World Championships, it would likely be a country’s DJ to interview the representatives and present them formally for the first time to the country. Because sure, other bladers might know that person but majority of the citizens wouldn’t. They would want to see who’s representing them to the rest of the world (think of interviews with Olympic athletes).
Being the bridge for and presenter of bladers clearly allows DJs to get attached to bladers they see often, as we can see with Blader DJs friendly relationship with Gingka and crew. They seem to act almost like older siblings to bladers, cheering them on during matches and highlighting each individuals’ strengths. They become the support system for bladers in their area.
So in short DJs are essentially announcers as well as interviewers. They are both the PR team and support system to their bladers. They act as their voices in the stadium.
What does training for a DJ position likely look like?
To be able to analyze a beybattle, give live commentary, and calculate what is the best way to present a blader would mean that DJs have a very wide yet unique set of skills. 
They would have to be good at public speaking, projecting, and orating for the commentary, be skilled in statistics, physics, and mathematics, have good vision and memory, and a strategical mind for analyzing, and be trained in public relations and marketing for presenting bladers. And add on top of that they all seem used to being on camera and have good stage presence.
There is no way with those requirements and skills that DJs don’t do special training. The WBBA likely offers classes in the necessary subjects and if the DJ hopeful gets high enough marks, they can apply to shadow an actual DJ for several months. Shadowing another DJ would allow them to see the practical application of what they had been studying as well as letting hopefuls start to figure out their own DJ style while getting used to the cameras. AT the end of the apprenticeship period, the hopeful would then sit for a test and, if passed, become a DJ. 
They likely would start out DJ-ing at small events or subbing in for more experienced DJs. Once they gain enough practical application skills they typically are hired to be the permanent DJ of an area. And if they become well known enough, they can be selected to try out for the national DJ position (of course all these career steps can be skipped if the DJ shows enough promise/skill or if the country is desperate).
In short:
DJs are the acting announcers, interviewers, and supports of bladers in a certain area within the beyblade world. They likely have to go through intense schooling and an apprenticeship period to gain the title, hence why there are so few.

An AI Washington au? 
It’s still friday over here! It still counts!
technically this was my attempt at trying warm up sketches. it didn’t work.
anyways, i posted some about my AI Wash AU  but this is a scene later on then that taking place in chorus. Having just revealed he’s an AI and the only one not freaking out about it is Caboose. an hour later, they’re still bickering amongst themselves while Wash and Caboose have given up on any sort of conversation with them and have just started play Go Fish.
That is all.

omg babesssss if anyone has any ideas for what various knights' mecha should be named speak now or forever hold your peace
#gawaine's is gringolet/galatine (it's complicated). arthur's is excaliber. modred's is clarent. lancelot's is secace. galahad's is based#on the red-hilt sword and doesn't really have a name but that's deliberate for thematic reasons which have to do with the switch lancelot#has to make between secace and galahad's mech after galahad's death and serves to exemplify#how jarring it is bc secace. despite having a name. is a mass-produced mech which usually would only have a serial number or smthing.#it has a name bc lancelot named it himself just bc. meanwhile galahad's mech. despite being a one of a kind model. doesn't have a name bc#no one cared for it enough to give it one. it's a top-of-the-line mech but that's... it. galahad's mech is as cold and clinical as one of#those minimalist apartments. galahad's mech only serves to exacerbate the feelings of detachment dehumanization and isolation that lead to#galahad ending his own life as even withing the walls of his own mech he was unable to feel like he belonged.#meanwhile lancelot. who had previously felt connected enough to his mech to name it. now finds himself all but forced to pilot a mech which#he greatly dislikes. yet can't help but connect a few dots between the way that the mech is put on a pedestal and practically worshipped#yet is unable to connect to anything else to a seemingly basic degree. and the fate of its former pilot (who he's constantly reminded of by#the fact that he's piloting the mech at all)#anyways. tristan isn't a mecha pilot but his dogfighter is called fail-not#romeo.txt
