you remember that daddy arc story i did? how would you continue it if you were writing it? like teen dad jaune who's just trying to do right by his daughter now in beacon what changes in jaune's character and what changes in the story? (freeby mordred loves professor port because he tells some of the best stories she's ever heard.)

I'm assuming you are referring to this story.

So, let's start with where Jaune is now. Since he's raising this girl alone, that means that his family isn't available or even aware of Mordred's existence. Maybe tap into how Jaune came to find her, perhaps with her own memory of her daddy finding her. Then we'll explain how and why Jaune is at Beacon with his girl; did he sneak in, is he attending to gain some sort of benefit, and what does the Beacon staff have to say about all of this?

I've seen plenty of teen daddy Jaune stories, and unfortunately none of them last longer than a few chapters. Jaune's personality is always different and just from the first chapter, Jaune is very different from his canon self since he's raising a child in a world full of Grimm. And not only would Jaune change, but the rest of the cast would have to as well, or at least we see more of what kind of people around Jaune are like when faced with the aspect of helping raise a child. Those stories I mentioned earlier were almost always harem fics, though there's a rare exception of one.

Now, for my final suggestion, I ask this question; who is Mordred? How old is she, what does she like, what is her connection to Jaune, and so on? Introducing a child character is a great way to discuss certain aspects of the world of RWBY that isn't usually explored, that being what Remnant is like from the view of a child.

Hopefully this can help get the grease wheels turning in your head. Oh, and I like that Mordred loves stories. That's a neat, little trait to use when describing a character. Especially when it's a world so deeply tied to stories like RWBY is.

Teen Wolf as Arthurian Characters

Theo Raeken as Sir Mordred

#teen wolf #twedit #teen wolf edit #twgifs #theo raeken #mordred #arthurian legend #arthuriana #my gifs #mine #twarthur #i think this was one of the first ones we assigned #and it's sooo fitting cause theo is one of my favs and mordred is one of su's faves #we love betrayal in this house #also something i meant to mention on the mason one that su brought up but forgot and it fits here to so you're getting it #but the dichotomy between theo killing his own sister and getting her heart and that being what makes him viable to be a chimera #vs mason absorbing his twin in utero and that leading to him becoming the beast #like theo's was a conscious act of evil (even if he was 9 and under the influence of the doctors) but mason's was something that happened #before he was even born something he did unconsciously which would lead to him becoming the quote unquote perfect killer for the doctors #theo and mason's whole perfect evil vs truly good schtick is just soooooo delicious to me you don't get it #and the whole idea of like in order to create the beast the doctors couldn't use theo who was ready and willing to kill #but instead they had to corrupt and infect mason who is the best and most just person in the teen wolf universe #I LOVE the dread doctor arc and the entire of season 5 in case you didn't get that and i will stop here but know i could go on forever

RWBY Christmas Tales

A Feast for Kings

Yang: Jaune! Quick! I can't find my dress! *runs all over the house*

Jaune: Woah, woah there! *gently grabs Yang* What's going on?

Yang: I can't find my dress! I've been looking all day for it and it's gone missing! I even tore up our mattress to see if it was under there.

Jaune: You mean this dress? The one you're holding in your hand right now?

Yang: ...oh. *chuckles*

Jaune: Are you okay, babe?

Yang: Yeah... I guess I'm just a little bit nervous. Arthur's coming to dinner and I want everything to be perfect.

Jaune: *chuckles* You don't have to worry about that. He's seeing us, not the King of Vale. We're his friends. I'm sure he'll appreciate the dinner and the gift.

Yang: You think so?

Jaune: I do. Don't forget, I was his Master at one point. Still, we can't give him some basic Christmas dinner. We need to show him how we do it Arc-Long style.

Yang: *nods excitedly* That we do! Shall I bring the reinforcements?

Jaune: Make the call, soldier!

[20 minutes later]

Jaune: *opens the door*

Ruby/Oscar: *saluting* Ruby and Oscar reporting for duty, sir!

Jaune: At ease, soldiers! Now then, did you bring what I asked for.

Ruby: *shows bag* All here!

Yang: Alright everyone, battle stations! Each of us is gonna make a signature dish. Ruby what do you have?

Ruby: Garlic rolls, with my own butter, pigs in blankets, and a cranberry apple salad!

Yang: Nice one! Honey, what do you have.

Jaune: Our ever so awesome roasted duck, with a side of potatoes, parsnips and carrots.

Yang: And now for the best part, dessert! What have you got for us, Oscar?

Oscar: *smirks* Strawberry cheesecake!

Jaune: Excellent! *puts on apron* Ladies and gentleman, let's get cooking!

[2 hours later]

Jaune, Yang, Ruby and Oscar, now dressed up in their suits and dresses, prepared the table for the arrival of their guests. As soon as Ruby placed a poinsettia in the vase, the doorbell rang. Jaune opened it and found Arthur Pendragon standing alongside Robyn Hill and Mordred.

Jaune: Arthur, you made it!

Arthur: *chuckles* Good to see, Jaune. Merry Christmas. *hugs him*

Jaune: *hugs back* You too man! Merry Christmas!

Yang: It's great to see you again, Arthur.

Arthur: You too. Oh, me and Robyn have something for you.

Robyn; *hands Yang a present*

Yang: Aww, you shouldn't have. Thank you so much!

Mordred: Ruby, Oscar, I got something for you guys too. *hands them two long boxes*

Ruby: *jumps with excitement* Oh my god! I can't wait to see what it is!

Oscar: Now, now, Ruby. Wait until after dinner.

Ruby: But-

Yang: Come on, sis. Patience is a virtue.

Ruby: Hmph! *pouts*

Jaune: Now that you're here, let's get started on the appetisers.

Robyn: Oh don't go through so much trouble.

Jaune: Oh don't worry. Come on, everything's hot. We got a lovely apple and cranberry salad, pigs and blankets and- gah! What happened to the garlic rolls?

Ruby: What?!

Everyone rushed over to the table and saw that the garlic rolls had gone, including the plate.

Ruby: ...I worked so hard.

Oscar: There, there. *hugs Ruby* It'll be okay.

Jaune: How did they just vanish like that?

Yang: Guys, look! *points to an open window*

Mordred: Wait, was that open the whole time?

Arthur: Who'd be that crafty to steal garlic bread unseen?

[Outside]

Ren: *sneaks behind the tree*

Blake: Did you bring what I asked for?

Ren: *shows garlic rolls* It's all here.

Blake: *licks lips* Excellent.

idt there's ever a character that makes me just as happy as percival does .... i pretty much grew up w/ him (alongside mordred) so they both mean the world to me.

but percival hits different because his narrative is one that's deeply human and ground to earth. and also he's just silly and happy i always liked to explore the philosophy of kindness through him because percival to me always felt like such a kind, pure-hearted character. he's very human

and also he's just hilarious sometimes his stuff seriously reads off like medieval spongebob because of how unhinged he is. idk percival appreciation day i just love him

#cain.txt #personal #arthuriana #percival #sorry this is embarrassing #i just think it's funny because i'm naturally predisposed to characters like mordred who are super angsty and edgy as fuck #and i'm also a huge lucifer/cain fan i literally named myself cain #but percival is such a burst of kindness and idealism for me #sorry to gawain and lancelot but to me percival is the exact knight you think of when you imagine the idyllic #picture perfect chivalrious knight #granted it took a whole character arc and a lot of fucking up and mistakes for him to get there #but that's part of why i like him so much #percival best grail knight FTW sorry galahad i like you better as a horror character

Deep breath. Steeples fingers. It’s the way Arthur never needed to know Merlin was part of his destiny to be on his side over and OVER again

#merlin #they’re a true have your cake and eat it too ship #on the one side merlin who feels the full weight and pull of a destiny he can’t escape #that he chooses to run towards with open arms #on the other side Arthur #who has NO obligation to merlin except the one he feels and creates for himself #opens the forbidden ‘what if merlin….was good’ book #do you think about how often kilgarrah talks about them as EQUALS #two sides of the same coin. two souls meant to be one.#but merlin always ALWAYS ALWAYS casts himself as lesser #he sees their joint destiny as one where he is subservient to Arthur #less important #he is constantly willing to die for Arthur’s sake and he TRULY THINKS IT DOESN’T MATTER #merlin is constantly of the view that if he dies so Arthur can live that is *fulfilling their destiny*#what a cruel trick the end of their story is #but that’s my point kinda: merlin never actually understood their destiny #that’s why he fails the test and mordred survives #because he tells Arthur magic can never be allowed in Camelot bc he is too busy trying to save Arthur to save himself #and as a result he gets it wrong #if you look at the whole show but s5 especially as a tragedy the arc is absolutely classical #meanwhile Arthur never knows about FUCKING ANY OF THIS #and yet and yet and yet #call it destiny or love he still finds his partner in merlin. the other half of his soul.#he never needed to know what they were supposed to be to see what they could be

when Tom first jokingly called himself Mordred I assumed he'd destroy camco via joining and then being himself and (potentially accidentally) tearing it apart from the inside out. that it would become his insignia.

but it never did. tom didn't outright destroy camco, and his impact wasn't only limited to camco. he destroyed it by enabling the destruction of the system that created and perpetuated camco's existence--and not even on purpose. it's just how thinks worked out

i'm not an expert on camelot mythology, but from what i've looked up mordred and arthur mutually destroy each other. and I cannot help thinking of Blackburn crashing his ship in assured mutual destruction. and I cannot help thinking of how it was first Tom who was the Ghost in the Machine before Blackburn took the title. and how maybe that means the foreshadowing of Mordred was only partially meant for Tom. that the Ghost wasn't the only title Blackburn took

#the insignia trilogy #catalyst spoilers #s.j. kincaid #finally finished this post that's been sitting in my drafts for a hot minute #you'd think a character who jokingly calls himself mordred. the person who destroyed camelot. a character who wants #to /join/ something named camelot company #would be quite foreshadowing #but it's too on the nose #that's not what being mordred means #tom is mordred to an extent #but the titles tom took on were only ever partly his #he created the ghost but blackburn WAS the ghost #he started mordred's arc but blackburn finished it #do you see what I mean do you get what I'm getting at

rewatching bbc merlin really has me like buzzing in my mind with so many thoughts. Like I'm kinda watching it backwards atm going from S5 to S4, I think I will jump around 3, 2, and 1 but just,,,, there is so much especially in S5 that makes me !!!!!!!

Honestly, I feel like this fandom has to give the writers more credit. Like they did a damn good job, and to me, it's such a good tragedy. Especially how S5 plays out, it takes everything and just tears you down, and down, and down. It's perfect, perfect with flaws! But still perfect

#bbc merlin #merlin #yeah idk on that note about the writers - this fandom is way too harsh #like i know we all have ideas on how it should have gone #but i think we lose how it's still a story that they planned from the start to end like that #they did their job they set up from the beginning and it is good as a tragedy imo as someone who has studied tragedies #hot take but the characterisations are consistent - i mean like as consistent as they get for a 5 series show #they did better than most and i dont feel like any characters get like their previous characterisation assassinated #that includes Arthur and Morgana btw they clearly have arcs that work well and where Arthur's is a slower progression - Morgana's is like a #lit match - slow at first but when it gets going it's going and then gone - it's wonderful #i mean look at s5 it literally starts by talking about Arthur's bane aka his fatal flaw aka his hamartia #which is himself and i dont think it's as much as the overdone hubris but rather Arthur's love and trust for others - but that like in many #tragedies can be debated #okay something else that can be debated is the peripeteia - i think a good example of it is the Disir episode because that's when Arthur's #fate becomes sealed anything after that point is fruitless because the Triple Goddess has decided he must die because of his rejection of #the Old Religion - it's a reversal of fortune in a sense that Mordred is alive to play his part in Arthur's death - as Merlin puts it. You #could see it more as Merlin's peripeteia rather than Arthur's but still #if we wanna debate it more Arthur's peripeteia would probablyyyy be when Mordred stabs him because that's when his death becomes imminent #it's a reversal of fortune because he's dying from that point forward rather than a strong king he is a man dying #the anagnorisis is another point to make. You could say for Arthur his anagnorisis is all of the finale - like this constant realisation of #Merlin and his magic and realising all that he missed all that he didnt see and now it's too late because he's dying #I'd say Merlin's anagnorisis comes with the whole Mordred and Kara ordeal and how he realises his mistake and how it's gonna cause the #downfall of not just himself but Arthur too #then catharsis - see i think it's the only part where the tragedy falters because do we get catharsis from Arthur's death and Merlin's #immortality - where he's still at the lake centuries later?#i think in some ways yes and in other ways no because I don't think BBC Merlin is following an Aristotle's tragedy #i think catharsis comes more from Morgana's half of the tragedy - seeing her die - and i think further catharsis comes from knowing it's no #over forever that there will be a second chance for redemption for both Merlin and Arthur #but it is a more difficult one for sure #anyway point is that S5 specifically has a tragedy storyline that is very well done and we should credit that more tbh

thoughts on mordred’s story arc

oh boy do i have thoughts on mordred's story arc. (warning: theyre allll over the place)

here's the thing: i legitimately think that it was a good story arc, one of the best. i love bbc merlin and the charm of its terribleness, but the character arcs rly do piss me off. the constant and consistent problem with almost all of them is that the characters will change massively for... kind of no reason?

for example, when morgana began to hate arthur and want him dead and stuff—that development came out of nowhere. for the entire series up until that point, she had loved and cared for him. now, all of the sudden, she wants him dead?? now, it had made sense for uther. he had done terrible things to morgana and could very clearly see the line between her love and hate for him. you could to watch her tip-toe along it in real time until she began plotting his murder. that arc made sense. but arthur? there was no point where we saw arthur do anything that would make her hate him the way she did. he was just randomly lumped together with uther as another pendragon she had to kill to get the throne. but, again, it doesn't make sense! she never lumped them together. in the episode To Kill the King, morgana directly compares arthur and uther by telling him that, "You're a better man than your father. Always were." again, she never lumped them together! yet, later on, that's exactly what she does.

anyways, that was a bit of a mini-rant, but it was illustrating the point that bbc merlin was terrible at providing reasoning for their characters' arcs.

mordred's, tho? made sense. the reason he wanted to kill arthur was because arthur killed the girl he loved, kara. now, do i think that we should have spent more time with kara? absolutely! do i think that mordred's story as a whole made sense? of course not!

like, his connection to morgana never made total sense to me? i just wish that we got to see a lot more of his bond with her. when he ends up leaving morgana to join arthur, it feels kind of dry. like, yes, this is big and important and everything, but the only emotions i felt were panic from merlin. a bit more distress and grief over the lost relationship between morgana and mordred would have made the story infinitely better.

but i sort of get why they didn't do that, and its because they didn't show too much of mordred's emotions at all—he was a very bland character, tbh. with the rest of the cast, we know them through their emotions. everything they did was reasoned by what they felt. with mordred, we know him through his actions. he does a lot of stuff that i wish was more fueled by emotions the audience could actually decipher. tbh, when he killed arthur, it felt kind of out of place to me, because it was one of the first times we actually saw him do something so obviously fueled by his emotions.

overall, i think mordred's arc was objectively good because his actions did make sense. he did everything for a reason. i just think it would have been a million times better if we got to see his emotions more and watch them explicitly fuel the things he did. if they had done that, i think arthur's death would have made a lot more sense and hit a lot harder, because we would be able to justify it. when they distanced us from mordred, it was easy to hate him. i would have liked to see the audience's emotional turmoil if mordred had been a character that they could actually understand and relate to:)

#sorry for the rant lol #im a sucker for a good character arc and lemme tell you bbc merlin does NOT provide #i will criticize the way they develop every single character in that show (except uther because that was STELLAR) until the day i die #merthur #merlin #bbc merlin #bbcm #merlin thoughts #merlin rant #mordred #bbc mordred

Really looking forward to the "FUCK YOU HOW DARE YOU I'M SOBBING CRYING HYPERVENTILATING" comments on My heart is readily yours tomorrow on my birthday to feel validated and to be assured that I was doing something right in ruining Arthur and Merlin the way I did✊ (and then putting them back together I'm not bbc lmao)
