Rewatching older classics and I keep being jumpscared by now very famous actors. What do you mean Daniel Craig, the James Bond and fantastically gay detective, was also the bowl haired knight in a movie about a cowardly 15 year old baseball player being sent back in time to King Arthur’s court. Why is there a Scarlett Johansson in my Home Alone 3. I did not order this.

Saw a bunch of posts recently talking about how saying sorry all the time can be a sign of emotional abuse and, as a Michigander living in New England, here are a few other super common meanings of sorry:
• move.
• you're in the way.
• pay attention, bro.
• what are you doing?
• who the fu-????
• that's my bad.
• thanks.
• excuse me.
• no, I don't have time for this.
• do I know you? No.
• don't judge me, I'm doing something.
• no I don't need help, let me struggle in peace!
• I am in the way, but I noticed you, so by the laws of sorry you can't be that mad.
• STFU you stupid-ass mfing bloated bag of beef.
• that was a nice warning, don't you see the twitching? Bout to go off on a bitch.
• that joke was mean but funny and accurate, I just didn't mean to say it out loud.
Sorry is an accusation, a command, and a judgement. I cannot help the disdain in my eyes when a New Englander laughs at me for what they think is apologizing, and I turn on the translator cus they ain't gonna get it, so I sound kinda deranged as I ride by like: "sorry, sorry? Sorry, 'scuse me- I mean wtf, move! Are you stupid? You're walking down the middle of the path on a blind curve you dumbass donkey." And then they laugh and move, like what?
Sorry is the prequel, a call for attention, a chance to get yourself right before it's God you're explaining yourself to. No more pity replies, just move yourself or your cart/buggy/carriage out the way, and ope, sorry is all you'll have to hear.

I wanna write a really mundane magic reveal.
This has definitely been done before (please send fic recs) but I’m procrastinating and really want to write it.
Literally nothing is happening, Arthur is having a bath, Merlin is tidying up in his chambers one night and everything is basically fine.
Arthur asks Merlin how he manages to always get the bath water perfect and Merlin jokingly says “must be magic” while he’s distracted, Arthur stops and starts thinking about all the fallen tree branches, how his armour is perfect and even if Merlin is late, his food is always hot.
So Arthur realises Merlin is a sorcerer, but not a very good one if all he can do is boring stuff with chores. And if he’s not using magic to defeat all the bandits, it must be because he can’t defeat all the bandits. Not that he’s trying not to die or anything. In fact, the thought of killing Merlin, or of Merlin being punished for his magic, never even crosses his mind.
Arthur shrugs, because Merlin made the joke before, it was just his fault for not noticing it, also his father is still king, so it’s probably for the best that Merlin never said anything, and he tells Merlin to be careful about his magic and to only use it if he’s locked the door.
Merlin’s too shocked by the easy acceptance to panic, so he’s just like: “you’re cool with it?”
And Arthur, oblivious but in love, is just like “well, at least you’re good at something.” Because, sure, Merlin isn’t powerful, but he’s not about to piss off the guy who gives him perfect baths. Then he’s like, “maybe figure out how to lie so my father doesn’t find out about you though. We can figure out the ban once I’m king”
I’m picturing this to be in early/mid season two. Morgana never turns evil, Merlin helps her with her magic because I said so.
So Merlin and Arthur have a while for Arthur getting used to Merlin magically lighting fires, sharpening his sword, adding protection charms to his armour, heating his baths, removing stains from his clothes and even putting them back to being like new if they lost buttons or anything.
Then they go to find the dragonlord, Balinor survives also because I said so.
Merlin tells Arthur Balinor is his father in the inn before they meet him. Arthur is a little worried for Merlin, but ultimately happy for his friend.
Then Merlin uses magic infront of Balinor and Arthur after Merlin told Balinor that he’s his son. Balinor shoves Merlin behind him protectively and Arthur is confused, “why would anyone assume he’d hurt Merlin? It’s Merlin. If anything, he’s more useful as a servant and more honest as a friend since he found out about the magic.”
Balinor is floored by it, and starts treating Arthur a lot better. Arthur gets to ask about pre purge stuff, Balinor tells him a bit about his mother from when her parents visited his when they were kids, then about Ygraine visiting the dragons and how she, Balinor and others in court at the time were friends.
They take him to Ealdor after the dragon is defeated/banished and Arthur looks over at Merlin and realises “oh my god, you summoned the wind.”
And Merlin is like, “yeah? No big deal.”
So Arthur is left wondering why Merlin is downplaying what he thinks is the strongest bit of magic he’s ever done. He comes to the conclusion that Merlin is embarrassed that it was a fluke, he tries to reassure Merlin that he can always practice and learn to do stronger magic like that. Merlin is confused because the wind wasn’t strong magic?
Balinor realises what’s happening and decides he wants nothing to do with it so he stays quiet. (He’s already sensed a lot of power from Merlin, so he knows he’s strong.)
Anyway, they keep going to Ealdor. Merlin still hasn’t caught onto the fact that Arthur thinks he’s a weak sorcerer, Arthur hasn’t caught on to Merlin being strong and just thinks he’s a little bit embarrassed about not being that strong of a sorcerer.
Then they get to Ealdor, everything is great for about two days until it starts down-pouring. Enough rain to flood the village and everyone is worried because Cenred or Lot(?)(I don’t remember when Cenred dies in canon) isn’t going to do anything because he just doesn’t care so their fields will flood and they’ll starve and not be able to afford taxes.
Arthur tries to reassure Merlin that it’s okay, but Merlin just hums. He asks Arthur if they can still lie and say they were on a hunting trip if he does something about the rain, Arthur tells him he shouldn’t push himself or anything, but Merlin says he won’t and Arthur trusts him so it’s fine. Merlin then goes outside and casually stops the rain, clearing the clouds and moving the rainwater into the river.
Arthur is shook.
Then he’s got to realise that Merlin is powerful, but again he never lied about it so he can’t really get mad, so he decides it’s better to just be shocked and carry on as usual until he gets used to the idea that Merlin is stronger than he looks.
There’s also a little bit of a bi panic in there somewhere because Arthur definitely has a thing for competency. We all saw his crushes on Gwen, Merlin, Lancelot, Mithian if she wasn’t just the wrong person for him, I’m pretty sure Percival too. There’s definitely others I haven’t noticed or forgot about. You get the idea though.
He sees Merlin being good at Magic and is suddenly very confused by the feelings he’s too emotionally stunted to recognise. Even if it’s just small things, Merlin is good at something and ‘what the hell happened to the bumbling idiot who forgot to hand him his sword the first day? What? Huh?’
Then after he accepts Merlin is really good at magic, he decides: “great! He can train with me now! :D” and he drags Merlin out of Camelot to spar which is basically just Merlin teaching Arthur how to defend himself against magical attacks. Arthur thinks he’s helping Merlin to protect himself because ‘if all he can do is wind that’s hardly an offensive attack so he needs more help mastering that. And considering no one else knows, it’s my responsibility to make sure he’s safe if he ever needs it.’
Merlin is just glad to be accepted and that Arthur is willing to learn how to protect himself against the numerous magical attacks every week so he lets Arthur think whatever he wants about why they’re sparring.
But yeah, there’s minimal trauma, it’s not a big deal and they get the happily ever after they deserved.

Cryptic God!Merlin & Number1Worshipper!Mordred au - part 2
(Kinda an escalation of this post ) the Magic ban was lifted for a while now and they definitely has encountered a few weird sorcerers/Druids who is in Emrys cult.
So, when Arthur first meets calm and collected Mordred, a druid who asks to be knighted instead of licking Merlin he is very relieved like OH GOD YES FINALLY A NORMAL ONE
Arthur: I am so happy you are not one of those who starts hyperventilating and mentally screaming straight into Merlin’s head the moment you see him.
Mordred, offended: Why would I do that
Later, when Leon and Lancelot are giving him a tour:
Mordred: I understand why some people will get excited at the sight of Emrys, he is a god to us after all, but seriously, only immature fans get over excited like that; a real and veteran worshipper like me have a private hyperventilating session while praying to a personal Emrys shrine at night
Leon: You have a what in at what in what now
Lancelot: NOW, WE DONT HAVE TIME TO UNPACK ALL OF THAT
Merlin doesn’t like it when people treated him like a god and also not quite aware of the extent of his godly power himself, so, at first he avoids Mordred because even though Mordred appears calm, he can FEEL Mordred praying to him EVERY NIGHT.
Mordred: why do you fear me Emrys? I pray to you everyday. You are my idol.
Merlin: BECAUSE LAST NIGHT YOU PRAYED TO ME TO GIVE YOU STRENGTH BECAUSE GWAINE CALLED YOU A BABY AND MADE YOU REALLY SAD, AND TODAY I WOKE UP AND PUNCHED GWAINE SO HARD ON THE FACE BECAUSE HOLY SHIT YOUR PRAYER WAS SO STRONG???
Mordred: It works?
Merlin: IT WORKS. THAT’S WHY YOU NEED TO ST—
Mordred: does that mean if I pray hard enough, you will be able to shoot fire beams from your eyes like you do in those bedtime stories druid elders used to tell me?
Merlin: DRUID ELDERS USED TO TELL YOU WHAT!?!
Three days later, the knights encounter wild magical beasts in the forest during a patrol, as they are so sure they are kicking the bucket tonight, Merlin appears and shoots fire beams from his eyes, annihilating all the threats in 0.3 seconds. Mordred is overjoyed.
And at that point, Merlin has no choice but to adopt Mordred now because have you seen how the kid’s eyes lit up when he saw fire beams? This boy's puppy eyes will be his doom. If the kid asks him to shoot electric bolts out of his mouth, he will fucking do it. Merlin’s mom instinct kicks in yet again.
Arthur, while finally is relieved to see them getting along, soon realises that his hope to have Mordred as a Calm and Collected Magic user who will help his ex-manservant, current-Court Sorcerer, permanent-his idiot make less stupid decisions has flown out of the window, THE KID IS AN ENABLER.
Merlin: Imma punch that castle-size wyvern with my bare hands
Mordred: Yes. you can do it #king. This is going to be the best day of my life.
Arthur: NO YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO STOP HIM

Outstanding antagonists after Junior Year
This post is as much for myself for fanfic purposes as it is for any speculation regarding a Senior Year that may never happen and even if it does would be I think at an absolute minimum three years and more likely 4-5 down the road, but I wanted to round up the known potential antagonists remaining out in the world, roughly ranked in order of known hostility:
Chungledown Bim. Certainly the MOST hostile of opponents, we know he's not dead post-Boy's Night (whenever Boy's Night is supposed to fit into the Quangle) because he's on Fabian's nemesis alert.
Arianwen Abernant. Evidently she has recovered her magic, probably while Cassandra was corrupted into a more Nightmare King-ish state. She was pretty pissed at Aelwyn and Adaine the last time we saw her over the whole death of Angwyn thing; I somehow don't think being chased around Sylvaire by the vand will have improved her mood.
Bobby Dawn. The full extent of his involvement in the Junior Year plot is uncertain, but he sure as hell wasn't helping things. Also some real potential hate between him and the party over the Sandra Lynn thing; while Fig might be gone in a Senior Year I'm going to ignore that for these rankings and in any case Sandra Lynn still lives with Kristen and Adaine regardless, so I think that conflict would be born out. I also think there's a strong case for a clash of pantheons style story going on in the background, and Bobby here would be front and center on the Sol-Helio-maybe Galicaea side.
Kalina. I don't necessarily think Kalina actually IS a traitor to Cassandra the way that Kristen thinks and Ankarna thinks; I almost believe that her turning up at the end of Junior Year was a reaction to them deciding to hunt her, in fact. That being said, while I think Kalina is fully team Cassandra, I also think (and even understand!) that she is most definitely NOT team Kristen, who did let Cassandra kind-of-die and now is splitting her attention. So what's Kalina's play now? I think she's going to try to push for Bobby Dawn to add Cassandra back to the Sol-Helio-Galicaea pantheon, which would be to her a much more stable foundation to keep Cassandra alive on than Kristen.
The Automatons that are going to be hunting Fig. Yes, these are self-evidently a way to excuse that Fig won't be around to help out if there's a senior year and Emily chooses to not play Fig. They're also kind of hilarious, especially since they open up all kinds of questions like 'wait did Sandra Lynn spend her first year of adventuring fighting off killer statues of Arthur Aguefort?' They'd be higher except they're only hostile to 1/6th of the Bad Kids.
Gertie Bladeshield. Also only hostile to 1/6th of the Bad Kids at present, though Cassandra knows if any of them speak up in Kristen's defense she'll probably swear a vow of emnity to them too. Could probably be made up with via a sincere apology, or at least by setting her up with someone.
The Court of Stars and Princess Nara. Now we're into the dubiously hostile territory, because this might not lead to actual conflict, but if there IS a clash of pantheons between the Sol one and the Ankarna-Cass one then the most obvious fight other than Cassandra is over where Galicaea ends up. The members of the Court of Stars we met this season seemed much more, um, I'll use the word chilled out than Angwyn and Kir of last year, but it still feels like a mercurial thing.
Arthur Aguefort. I've been saying for a very long time that the only boss fight that makes sense for a Senior Year IS to have to fight Arthur Aguefort himself; it doesn't even necessarily have to be a 'he's evil' sort of thing, but could just be a 'you're the best party we've had in centuries and I wanna throw down'. He dropped some hints at it in the finale, of course, too!

Mc's father meeting with Arthur and as they handshake the dad pulls him closer and whispers "If I ever hear you have hurt my kid, even a tiny bit. I'll make sure that the next war that happens will put your head on a platter. Am I understood?"
Yeah, definitely the vibe MC's father would give! Unfortunately the parents couldn't attend the wedding, because their very precarious status at court, and because both them and Adrei are suffering the consequences of overusing battle magic.
But if MC's father had been there, while he wouldn't have dared to adress Arthur that way (he is, after all, in no position to threaten the king), the way he would look at him would convey his hostility, mixed with a huge amount of anxiety and fear for his kid.

all versions of arthur pendragon are valid ofc but for me personally he has to be A Little Dumb about Merlin Specifically.
yes this man is a trained military strategist who’s raised to be a soldier from birth And he’s also a lonely rich kid until this beanpole of a man challenges him to a duel, loses, then saves his life in one day, then basically never leaves. he’s Arthur’s first friend. and when he finds out Merlin’s been nearly-getting-stabbed every day behind his back? oh boy
give me court officials & druids baffled watching Arthur throw socks at merlin one day and crown him court sorcerer the next. arthur chasing merlin down the halls in full king regalia because merlin got injured a week ago and didn’t tell him. them talking shit about other royals in hushed tones, and oh look the lord who insulted arthur behind his back caught a mysterious case of boils. people wonder why the king looks strangely pleased that his court sorcerer is finally using magic in public. meanwhile merlin and arthur are busy making faces at each other during boring meetings to try and make the other laugh

HIIIII!!!! ur blog is amazing! I was wondering if i could request a ficlet about a modern reader showing the others their music (if u could do Ice Spice or Nicki Minaj, that would just be the cherry on top) BUT IF U CANT THATS OK!!!!! Stay safe and don't forget that ur loved!
This gives me the same vibes as A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court which was my favorite movie as a kid lol.
Characters: The Chain x GN!Modern Reader
A/N+Warnings: N/A, safe for everyone. Written by Mishwanders - pls do not repost.
The moment the Chain learned about your phone, they were rather intrigued by the amount of things it could do (and could not do). Although cellular reception was not a thing in the wide open spaces of Hyrule field, you did however have the foresight of having a few songs downloaded on your playlist, so it wasn’t a problem when it came to entertaining yourself with some music when things were slow.
However, the Chain was rather surprised by how different music in your era was from theirs. Some of them they could follow, simple Melodie’s but others of which they were completely blown away by - the speed at which some of the artists sang, especially in rap, was one of the bigger surprises. However, Wind and Rulie did cover their ears from the piercing sounds found in dubstep and phonk - finding some of those to sound akin to banging pots and pans together in a cave (which Four seemed to be alright with for the most part).
Wars and Wild on one hand thought it would be a good strategy to use your little music box as a distraction in their next fight against the Shadow and his minions, but you counteracted that because you didn’t want the Shadow to get a hold of your phone, no matter how good or terrible his music taste may be.
Legend and Sky found your music to be a welcomed change of pace from having to pull out their own and if anything, they found it rather creative, spurring a bit of inspiration for the songs they liked to play - and dance to as well.
Granted, you didn’t know that Time could dance (or even Twilight for that matter - he was in two-step Heaven when Chris Stapleton came on), but by the power vested in Nicki Minaj, you could have sworn you saw a little shimmy happening in the old man’s shoulders, causing a chuckle to leave you at the sight of it.
It was even better when you heard him attempt to play one of her songs on his ocarina while you hummed to the tune of it.
Who knew the old man would be such a fan?

today in fairly obvious things i have somehow missed, i never actually looked very closely at jake's poster collection, so i'm just now realising that it matches grandpa's hoard. we've got several posters from the mummy franchise, which i didn't think twice about since those movies fit his adventurer vibe anyway, and duh a lot of blue ladies, but then i noticed how many knight themed movies there were (a knights tale, a knight in camelot, a kid in king arthur's court) and was like ????? - oh. duh. the suits of armour, pfft
