Tags: Some of these feature more in this part than others, If you’re in it for Merlin/Arthur be prepared for a slowburn, None of these pairings are necessarily their endgame, We’re still in the early days, Pairings are only ordered by when they first appear in the story, Endgame potential is still v much in the air, And will be updated as we go- no one panic, Fix-It, Season 2 onwards rewrite, If Merlin had told Morgana about magic but not that he had it, Lol I promise it makes sense, What if the Merlin writers were actually capable of continuity and emotional catharsis, Morgana doesn’t just suddenly become evil, But neither is everything magically fixed knowing she has a friend in the castle, And everyone is in love with Merlin fight me, Merlin finds out about Balinor slightly earlier than canon, Even I don’t know who’s going to end up with who, Every character in this show has romantic tension with every other character, I’m just taking the romantic tension where it leads me, One day the title will make sense I promise, This part covers Nightmare Begins-Lady of the Lake Vol 2 but we’re still on S2 because I cannot control myself, You defo need to read the first part to read this part don’t jump in here, My continuous crusade to bring emotional catharsis to Merlin, Everyone is still in love with Merlin and everyone can still fight me, I have slightly more of a plan about who ends up with who but I can still be persuaded, by myself, Don’t try and persuade me yourself lol, Still just taking that romantic tension that is between everyone wherever it leads me, But probably not any time soon, This part covers Sweet Dreams- The Last Dragonlord, Whoo boy here we go again, Season 2 onwards re-write, WE’RE FINALLY ON SEASON 3 BBY, Pls read the other parts first or this will make little sense, What if BBC’s Merlin had emotional catharsis?, And consistency?, Wouldn’t that be… Beautiful, Everyone is still in love with Merlin, Except Merlin, He is in a bit of a guilt phase, We’re still following that tensionnnnn, Probs not in this part, Maybe the Next One, who knows certainly not me, Posts every other Friday atm

You were the one who taught me how to use knives: Vol 1

Merlin chose to save Mordred against the dragon’s advice. He should have made the same choice for Morgana. In which Merlin is more than a little fed up of old men and old dragons telling him what to do, and gives Morgana some hope. Maybe it won’t change the dark path she’s destined to walk down… Or perhaps in doing so, Merlin saves all of Albion from her wrath. Featuring the emotional catharsis and continuity we were denied in canon and a systematic re-writing of what could have been

You were the one who taught me how to use knives: Vol 2

Merlin’s trained Morgana in magic against Gaius & the dragon’s advice, hasn’t killed Mordred, and honestly thought he was doing a pretty good job of moving his destiny along. Then, he lost Freya. Has his faith in Arthur been shaken enough to make the prophecised Albion further away than ever? Featuring Merlin actually reacting to Arthur killing his beloved, Morgana realising that Merlin’s role in keeping Arthur alive is even harder than she thought, and Arthur still trying to come to terms with his own opinions on magic- and his father

You were the one who taught me how to use knives: Vol 3

Merlin’s lost his first love and his father in the space of a few months, and he’s not sure how much more he’s willing to let destiny take from him. But with that loss has come the unburdening of some of his secrets, and now with fewer distractions, he can’t deny his relationship with Arthur is changing…

Arthur’s between a rock and a hard place; between his childhood and what he’s learnt as an adult, between being loyal and being just, between his father and Mer- the magical community. With a heavier burden placed on him from the king’s more frequent bouts of insanity, he’s bound to break under the pressure, but perhaps that’s the only way to heal straight…

Morgana’s magic’s been revealed to everyone, but somehow she’s got to find a way back into her position in Camelot’s court if she ever wants to make a change. The problem is, Morgana’s only ally now is her sister, and she doesn’t know how much she can trust her…

Gwen’s going to get her answers. No matter what.

I just really love when we get queer stories with middle aged characters. Like yeah there's a bunch of queer teen romances out there which are also great, but it just hits different when they're a little older?? They're more unique since you get very different people meeting each other that already lived a life, but now they get to experience something they haven't before. Like nothing makes my heart happier than having this middle aged man that never experienced true happiness and thought he just wasn't good enough for it meet this other guy that is just the sun personified and together they make each other better (or worse, big fan of that as well).

I luckily haven't had to deal with much chronic pain or hand pain yet, especially with regards to baking (crochet is another story). That said, these look like some pretty solid tips! There's also some in the comments section.

I was high off my ass last night and had this dream where I was in this dense ass forest and sitting there was a tall woman. She was so tall I couldn’t see her face but she was wearing gold and I was like “uh…hi?” And she said “I made you, do you know that?” And I nodded and she was like “I hear your thoughts. Why do you hate my creation? Why do you try to destroy yourself? I made you perfect as you are. Please don’t break my heart”. Then she started crying and it flooded and I woke up with fucking heart palpitations like what does it Mean™️????

#this!!! #frankly i think considering how close i lived to the border #i should have got the chance to learn welsh #instead of having to teach myself on duolingo #welsh is an incredible language #from an incredibly resilient and beautiful country #wales deserves better #welsh history and mythology is fascinating #if I'd be born 5 miles in the other direction I would be welsh #but as it stands I will continue to sing its praises and learn more about it #if Wales decides to be independent I am 100% support #and will move there immediately
