For the character asks, Lance Hunter

Thanks for the ask! 💙

First impression: Loved him. I think I found him a little bit annoying, but in a good way, of course.

Impression now: I somehow love him even more. I still can't believe the writers just wrote him and Bobbi out because they were such great characters. He deserved to stay even just for comedic relief, because God knows the team needed a laugh sometimes, and so did we.

Favorite moment: When he shows up in prison to "talk to his client" in season 5. That was so iconic because not only was it a great entrance, but also such a relief to see a familiar face in that situation, especially if said familiar face has a hilarious dynamic with Fitz. That was obviously written for the fans, so I have no complaints. Honourable mentions to when he punches the guy from the ATCU without so much as a second thought, when he rants about Bobbi in 2.04 pretending he's not in love with her, and when he goes undercover as an obnoxious IT guy.

Idea for a story: This is not my idea, but I need to know what happened when he and Bobbi almost got married again between seasons 3 and 5. What do you mean "the ninjas showed up"? This had so much potential, but I think the fact that he never explained makes it funnier. Is it a weird metaphor for something? Did some ninjas actually attack them right before the wedding? Are the ninjas some friends who didn't think they should get married? We'll never know.

Unpopular opinion: I've seen somewhere that Most Wanted was a bad idea from the start, and I'm here to tell you that's wrong. I think it's a tragedy that it got cancelled, because can you imagine the potential? A spinoff of the best show on Earth? Our favourite problematic spy couple on the run breaking the law and causing problems? How is that a bad idea. Even if the script was bad and the plot was bad and everything was bad, it's still extra screentime for two awesome characters. If nothing else, we all know he would have had hilarious one liners, and I would have loved to watch it.

Favorite relationship: Huntingbird. Yes, I know he and Bobbi had a LOT of issues, but that just makes it funnier. Their bickering was on point, and the way he so was so obviously down bad for her the minute the words "demonic hell beast" left his mouth is so pathetic and hilarious. On a more serious note, the way they worked together as agents was great. While they may not have always trusted each other, they always had faith in the other's capabilities to do a good job in the field and stay alive ("Don't die our there"). They worried, sure, but they didn't try to keep the other out of danger Fitzsimmons style because they knew they could handle things, and for the most dysfunctional relationship of the show, that was pretty healthy. As for platonic relationship, Fitz. All they had in common was the fact that they were sassy Brits with serious relationship issues, and that was somehow enough to form a great dynamic. I loved all their little moments in 2.04, especially when Fitz talked about his crush on Jemma in the weirdest, most uncomfortable, and out of context way, and Hunter just went along with it and comforted him.

Favorite headcanon: At some point watching season 6 I decided it was stupid that they hadn't returned to SHIELD, so in my head they did. It just didn't make sense that they still had to live a life on the run when SHIELD was a legitimate organisation again, especially when the new director was their best friend who could have pulled some strings to have them there. It would have been so cool to see them again, not to mention it would have been very helpful for the team. And can you imagine Hunter's reaction at seeing Sarge? If anyone could have added some levity to the situation, I know it's him.

Writing this made me remember how much I love and miss him. Please send me more!

Character Asks.

Okay I lied I didn't go to sleep yet. But it's just because I am perplexed about something and can't shut off my brain:

These shots are colour graded differently, aren't they? I'm not just losing it after so many late nights staring at their faces?

Is this just a film school thing or does this throw regular people off too? Both times the two shots have a single reverse shot as a buffer between them, they're shown in rapid succession. Surely everyone notices the difference?

#film school has changed the way I consume media a lot I'll admit #so I can't tell if these are dramatic enough to be noticeable to a casual viewer #but I had to stop and rewind mid-episode because the change in colour distracted me so much #white collar episode 5.05

so in fitz’s flashback/introduction episode in season 5 (Rewind, 5.05) when he was being interrogated by hydra the military, they continuously asked him where the team were, right? he says...

“I wish I knew, 'cause as much as you want to find them and bring them to justice, I want to find them so I know that they're okay.”

the worst part is that he genuinely believes he deserves to be in prison (thank the doctor for that), without his family and the love of his life. he doesn’t say he wishes to be with them, but rather that just they were alive and happy, even without him. perhaps just to prove to himself that he didn’t do it himself? he actually thought that he could have done something so horrible and forgotten it (sounds of my heart breaking)

#agents of shield #spoilers #season 5 #leo fitz #rewind #my heart breaking #leopold fitz deserved better

Answers to Quarantine 2020 You Make the Call

Here’s the MLB Rule Book so you can go check out these rulings in more detail

1. 1. 1 out, R2. B1 hits a foul pop fly trailing toward the stands behind 3B. F5 chases toward the stands but badly mistimes his leap and lands in the front row before catching the ball. Assuming the ball was going to fall for a routine foul ball, R2 is lollygagging and does not return to 2B promptly. F5 sees and throws to F4 covering the bag and the throw beats R2. D. Foul ball. If F5 had caught the ball while leaping into the stands it would be a catch. Because he already had his feet on the ground in dead ball territory, this can only be a foul ball just as if a fan in the front row caught it. [Rule 5.09(a)(1)comment]

2. 0 out, bases loaded. It’s the bottom of the 8th in a 1-run game, so with the bases loaded the infield plays in to increase their chances of getting the force out at home. All 4 infielders are positioned on the grass/dirt line of the infield. B1 hits a sharp ground ball that passes between F3 and F4 before striking R1 in the foot as he runs to 2B. The ball rolls away towards RF. By the time F9 runs in to pick up the ball, R3 and R2 have scored, R1 stands at 3B, BR stands at 2B. A. Nothing. 2 runs score, R1 and BR remain where they ended the play on 2B and 3B. Because the batted ball has passed a fielder, and there is no other infielder who could make a play on the ball (because F4 is not playing behind F3 and is positioned beside him along the grass/dirt line), this is not interference. The ball remains live and whatever happens happens. [Rule 6.01(a)(11)]

3. 1 out, R1 R2. F1 never comes to a complete stop before delivering the pitch. B1 hits a ground ball almost through the hole on the right side but F4 makes a diving stop. Having no play anywhere but 1B, he throws to F3 and the throw beats the BR. B. Enforce the balk because all runners including the batter-runner did not advance at least one base safely. B1 returns to bat with the same count as before the balk. R1 and R2 are awarded 2B and 3B respectively. Go to umpire school once and you will hear instructors shout “did all runners including the batter-runner advance at least one base safely?” in your dreams for the rest of your life. It applies to both balks and catcher’s interference. If the answer is yes, the balk or catcher’s interference is treated as if it did not happen. If the answer is no, get ready to explain to one if not both managers why you are pressing the rewind button. [Rule 6.02(a)penalty]

4. 0 out, R1, 2-2 count. B1, his team’s pitcher, is determined to get his bunt down, advance the runner, and prove to baseball pundits everywhere that the bunt is not dead and the National League way of pitchers batting is actually the right way to play baseball. He bunts at the two-strike pitch. The pitch strikes B1’s hand as it grips the handle of the bat, but comes forward and settles in fair territory. F2 pounces on the baseball and fires to 1B as the BR clutches his hand in pain. R1 advances safely to 2B. C. The ball is dead immediately upon touching B1’s hands. Because he attempted to bunt, the pitch is called a strike. Because it is the third strike, he is out. R1 returns to 1B. Say it with me everybody: “THE HANDS ARE NOT PART OF THE BAT!” Next time you hear a dad at a little league field say that they are, either point and laugh at him or ask if his wife is ok after expelling 3 feet of aluminum from her uterus and if the doctors performed surgery on his newborn immediately to remove the bat that his baby’s hands were grafted to.

The ball becomes dead immediately upon touching a batter, no matter what the subsequent ruling of HBP or not is going to be. Because he attempted to strike at the pitch, it is a strike (just ask Giancarlo Stanton*). If it wasn’t strike three, the at bat would have simply continued with a strike added to the count. Because it was, the batter is out. [Rule 5.05(b)(2)]

*Stanton should have absolutely been awarded first. He was dodging a pitch at his face, not swinging at it. 10 minutes later when the very next pitch hit pinch hitter Reed Johnson on the hand as he swung, the right call was made.

5. 0 out, R2 R3. Ground ball to F5. R3 breaks for home on contact and gets caught in a rundown. He makes it back to 3B legally, but by the time he does, R2 is standing there with his foot on the base. Both runners are tagged by whichever fielder ended up with the baseball after the rundown. Somebody is out here, but who? R2 is out. The base belongs to the lead runner. [Rule 5.06(a)(2)] If there had been an R1 on this play, the base would belong to R2 because R3 was forced off of it when the batter became a runner [Rule 5.06(b)(2)]

6. 0 out, R1 R2. B1 bunts at the ball poorly, and the ball pops high over the pitcher’s mound. F1 sees the runners reluctant to run on this sure-to-be-caught ball and lets it drop before picking it up and throwing to 3B. F5 throws to F4 covering 2B, who then throws to F3. Throws beat R1 and R2, but the BR beat out the triple play at 1B. A. Play stands. R1 and R2 are out and BR at 1B. For a batted ball to be an infield fly you need 4 things: (1) R1 R2 or bases loaded (2) Less than 2 outs (3) Fair fly ball that is not a line drive or a bunt (4) Can be caught by an infielder with ordinary effort. Because this ball was bunted it cannot be an infield fly. Force outs at 3B and 2B. [Definition of Terms: Infield Fly]

7. 2 out, bases loaded. B1 hits a shot down the line, clearing the bases. The throw to the cutoff man gets away and the BR comes all the way around to score. F3 calls for the ball, steps on 1B while holding it, and says to the umpire, “the batter missed first base!” The umpire agrees and calls the BR out. How many runs will score on this play? Zero. When the third out is any force out or on the batter before he touches first base, no runs score on the play. Because the BR never touched first, when he is called out there on appeal the play is treated like any other routine third out of the BR like you see in most innings. If this had been the second out, the three runs would still have scored. [Rule 5.08(b)comment]

8. 0 out, bases empty. B1 hits a ground ball to F6. F6 throws to F3, who bobbles the catch. He gets the ball securely pinned between his forearm and chest as the BR touches first. Is the BR safe or out? Safe. In order to tag a base, the fielder must securely hold the ball in his hand or glove. Pressing the ball against his body with the forearm is not sufficient. [Definition of Terms: Tag]

9. 0 out. After Aaron singles, Charlie bats. On the first pitch, Aaron steals 2B and Charlie takes the pitch for a strike. Charlie then hits a double, scoring Aaron. Before a pitch is thrown to the next batter Daniel, the defensive manager appeals to the umpire that Charlie batted out of order. A. Barry is called out. B. Charlie is put in the batter’s box. C. Aaron is put back on 2B. The key to batting out of order is that the guy who failed to bat in his proper place is the one called out. Then, the proper batter is whoever’s name follows the one called out. Everything that happens due to the improper batter’s at bat is nullified, but Aaron is allowed to keep 2B because the batter had nothing to do with his steal. Any advance by a runner due to a stolen base, balk, wild pitch or passed ball during an improper batter’s at bat stands. [Rule 6.03(b)]

10. Same as #9, but a pitch is thrown to Daniel before the manager appeals. A. Nobody is out. B. Daniel is the proper batter. C. Aaron’s run counts. Once a pitch is thrown to the next batter, the at bat of the improper batter is legitimized. Charlie’s at bat stands; he remains on 2B, Aaron has scored, and as Daniel’s name follows Charlie’s, he is now the proper batter. Barry simply misses his turn this time through the order, and better make sure to bat after Aaron next time. [Rule 6.03(b)(5) and (7)]

Hope y’all learned something. If you have any questions feel free to msg me.

alright im about to watch 5.03 of merlin for the 2nd time ever

because if i dont do it now i may NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE

but first i wanna get out of the way that i thought merlin convincing arthur to keep the ban on magic in 5.05 because he was trying to thwart ~*~destiny~*~ or whatever is the laziest writing ever, it’s unsatisfying for the audience, it renders the rest of the last season utterly pointless, it’s unfair to merlin and arthur, and the tonal shift of the show from farting trolls in season 2 to full greek tragedy in season 5 was completely unwarranted and i feel TRICKED as a human person because i expected the end to be bittersweet and make me sad, not table-flipping angry, and i do not at all have high hopes for the finale

but i can ignore something having a “bad last five minutes” i did it for life is strange and final fantasy 13-2 i will do it for merlin but honestly

speaking on 5.03, after it was over the first time i was like “i can never write my fanfic now because nothing i ever do will be as good as that” but i’m really relieved in that way that that was apparently the last good episode of merlin because now i can continue my work in peace and maybe hopefully even actually finish it

okay commence the liveblog:

love that arthur and merlin are down to just jump off their horses whenever random women start screaming in the distance. season 5 could have been so good, they’re so much more grown up and in sync with one another, i absolutely LOVE their #vibe

it was interesting to me also that arthur DEMANDED a fair trial for this woman despite her being accused of sorcery. god, he was SO CLOSE?? that hatred of magic just can’t really take root in him especially with uther gone...arthur may be an asshole in the early seasons, and he may be quick to anger and quick to lash out in that anger, but it’s just not in him to be cruel, especially needlessly

EVEN THIS LADY IS LIKE “u showed kindness and compassion” arthur is a Good Boy deep down he is he IS he didn’t care a bit about that horn she gave him but still politely said it was beautiful

although lmao the way his face changed when she said it was magic...that’s the STUFF

lowkey losing it at athony head in the credits. i was looking to see if he’d be in the s5 ones since he’s dead and didn’t see him in 5.01 or 5.02 so when i DID see him in 5.03 i was like haha no way did they pay to put him in here i guess i just missed him the first couple of times BUT I WAS WRONG

like, in buffy, they spend an entire episode trying to decide whether or not to necromance their mom or whatever and she doesnt actually APPEAR IN THE EP they never SEE her i thought this would be an episode ABOUT uther i didn’t think uther would be IN it

love that from the get-go arthur’s face screams “i am thinking about making a terrible mistake” and merlin’s face is like “he is thinking about making a terrible mistake”

i’m quite proud of merlin in s5 actually. bad writing aside he uses multiple braincells many times per episode. it’s a vast improvement. same energy as clary from shadowhunters right down to getting shafted in his final season

ive said it before and ill say it again gwen looks SOOO GOOOOD as queen

if this is the anniversary of uther’s death then (if you go by 1 season = 1 year) arthur just turned 30...it’s been nine years and change since merlin met him, and by the end of season 5 it will have been an entire decade

in an otherwise increddibly heavy episode arthur panicking and throwing all the apples out of the bowl so he could cover the horn with it is absolutely priceless. season 5 if nothing else has really hammered home for me what a TERRIBLE liar arthur is - merlin got good at it fast out of necessity but arthur can’t hold a poker face to save his LIFE. “leave it.” “why??” “because i’m telling you to and i’m the king of camelot” buddy......

we were ROBBED. if there had ever been a day where arthur came to accept merlin’s magic but still had to help merlin hide it there could have been an entire episode of arthur nearly blowing merlin’s cover because he’s a nervous nelly and at the end he goes “i cant believe you have had to do this 24/7 for YEARS without a single friend to help you” and merlin goes “well now i have you” anyway.

i love also that repeatedly when arthur goes to do something scary by himself he also brings merlin. they LITERALLY are two halves of a whole

“you’re threatening me with a spoon??” i can’t tell you about the unfortunate fanfics i have seen involving The Spoon. i shall also not mention the ones involving The Glove. we will not speak of it

I CANNOT BELIEVE STONEHENGE IS IIN MERLIN. i got so agitated i did not pay one bit of attention to the conversation following its reveal and me and cathy and had to rewind so i could listen properly

my hate-on for stonehenge goes thusly: stonehenge apocalypse, starring misha collins, is @callowyn‘s favorite movie. i have seen it 45 times. i hate it nearly as much as she loves it. it’s an age-old battle

merlin is so intense when he looks for signs in arthur that he DOESN’T totally hate magic...arthur using magic to see his dad again is one of those signs. he’s willing to turn to it in desperation - maybe he’d be willing in less desperate times too

“my father was taken from me before his time” i mean...he was practically in a coma. so like. he wasn’t

love that when arthur mentions merlins dad ONCE he immediately looks like he’s about to cry. mood. i also want to cry every time i think about merlins dad

up until the moment i laid eyes on uther i was SURE they werent actually gonna do it. i came into this thinking it was a FLASHBACK EP

for the record (and believe me i NEVER thought i’d say this) even though i waited and waited for his demise and cheered when he was gona for good...i really missed uther in season 4. at least with uther you know what you’re getting. agravaine (his replacement as “evil guy who keeps us from being able to solve our problems too easily”) was a slimy cowardly CREEP. and in season 5 i WISH things were as simple as “work around uther’s pigheaded unreasonableness”

for a hot second i really thought uther and arthur would have a nice conversation where they reconciled or said something heartwarming. i was worried about an uther redemption arc - this guy is responsible for the genocide of magic users, he doesn’t deserve redemption - but this show said NOT TODAY and they said it QUICK

ARE

BLESSED

i have A LOT of issues with season 5 but JESUS FUCKING CHRIST THIS WAS DADDY ISSUES 2.0 BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD

repressed trauma returns: harder better faster stronger!! that’s the STUFF

was i not just speaking the other day on my fanfic ask meme about how i love emotionally intense stuff? this is IT babey

uther’s such a bad father! he’s with his only child again for the last time in ever and all he does is tear him a new one! this is why arthur’s such a fucked-up human being (morgana too)

i’m THRILLED we got to revisit this. his eyes get bigger and bigger and he starts fucking stammering and by the time uther’s done calling him weak and a failure he looks ready to CRY. i was HOLLERING. i still couldnt believe uther was even HERE and not only is he HERE he’s a WRECKING BALL

“this CAN’T be the last time i’ll ever see you” oh buddy you’re gonna wish it was

and he looks back, as he leaves. of COURSE he does. just like lot’s wife. so it goes.

you know how at the end of every supernatural episode sam and dean debrief and talk about their feelings in the car? for merlin and arthur it’s almost always done around a campfire at night - sometimes in arthur’s chambers or other places, but usually out here in the wilderness where it’s just the two of them. i’m...really going to miss it, when it’s gone.

“my father doesn’t approve of the way i’ve chosen to rule his kingdom” “you mean YOUR kingdom”

you know i don’t think i really got...like, fundamentally, on a deep level...that merlin fucking HATES uther

i’ve seen him save uther’s miserable life so many fucking times that i thought for merlin it was kind of the way it was with gwen - he feels nothing for him, but he looks after him for arthur’s sake (or as i came to understand later because he’s professor x about the whole thing)

but the way his expression got SO UGLY when arthur revealed that uther just shit-talked him the entire time...holy fuck

between that & some other stuff that happens later it really paints a clearer picture of like...uther’s dead so merlin doesn't have to hold back anymore and he FUCKING HATES HIM?? like obviously he SHOULD bu i just never SAW it before this. merlin LOATHES him. it’s INCREDIBLE to witness when he bore it so silently for so long. maybe even merlin didn’t realize just how much he hated him until now

and not to get too real here but if youve ever been friends with someone who had an abusive/toxic parent or was in an abusive/toxic relationship and you watch them feeling like shit after and they start making excuses for that asshole like “oh yeah he’s right about x” and you just want to find this horrible person and THROTTLE THEM that emotion is like ALL OVER merlin’s face rn. i didn’t actually seriously "”ship”” merlin and arthur until late season 4/early season 5 (i didnt like dislike it i just wasnt actively bothered by a lack of it) and what changed was this vibe. merlin wants to kill uther all over again just because he made arthur feel this way. he’s so fuckijng PROTECTIVE

and he still almost manages to drag a smile out of him via roasting, god bless these 2

ok so i didnt believe this show would actually DO THAT re: putting uther himself in this ep but i was doubly shocked by the fact that he HITCHED A RIDE AND GOT OUT

me shrieking during this entire poltergeist sequence: OH MY GOD OH MY GOD IT’S REALLY HIM?? HOLY FUCK HE IS LITERALLY HAUNTING ARTHUR I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY’RE DOING THIS I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY’RE GIVING US THIS etc etc etc

actually most of that was probably muffled nonsense because i was yelling with both hands over my mouth

percival’s the realest motherfucker on this whole show. dude survives a murder attempt in which he got an AXE lobbed at him by the fucking GHOST of a power-mad genocidal king and he’s like: yeah idk i guess it fell

there was thunder in the bg for this WHOLE ep and i’m Big into it

absolutely CACKLING at the bit where merlin has to ask arthur if he looked back at uther’s spirit. it’s one of those nice big heavy questions - so heavy, in fact, that arthur can’t answer, can’t even LOOK at merlin, either because he’s ashamed or because he’s bugging out or both. you thought this shit was over? it’s never over! daddy issues are a lifelong ride, pal! arthur’s just get to haunt him literally this time. god it’s so fucking good

can i just say? merlin reads that damning silence reeeal well. and it’s a big, heavy thing to know about arthur - but then again he knows all the big heavy things about arthur

the score for this episode is really good too...very suspenseful and good, adds a lot to the atmosphere, keeps it from getting too slow

there’s a hint of merlin’s absolute HATRED of uther in this conversation again - the way his face tightens when he says “uther would do anything to protect his legacy and that makes him dangerous, who knows what he’s capable of now”

and arthur dismisses him because he can’t hear this but merlin almost refuses to leave - and when he DOES leave, he doesn’t take his eyes off arthur for one fucking second. he stares him down all the way out of the room. i don’t think it’s because he’s angry with arthur, per se - he’s angry with uther, and he knows uther in a way arthur never can or will, as someone ruthless who will kill without warning or remorse. he’s afraid of uther and he’s trying to get arthur to be afraid of uther too before it’s too late and LSDKFJGHSLDFJH

if you’re thinking “thats a lot to interpret from one look” yes it is but i’m right. IT’S A BIG, HEAVY LOOK. NICE AND LOADED. love unpacking all of that

i cant believe this dude tried to KILL GWEN like he really is coming after everything that makes arthur happy. im so glad it was merlin that saved her. i really do think merlin is her best friend

multiple times in this serious arthur fidgets when he’s nervous or thinking, usually with his hands near his mouth. i am endeared to him. my poor boy

“i always knew my father could be cruel but why would he do this to gwen when he knows i love her” BECAUSE HE’S CRUEL

merlin knows. merlin knows his cruelty much better than arthur. boy does he know. i’m dying. it’s fine

love that at this part of the ep we slide seamlessly into the “merlin and arthur are both scared shitless” section which was truly one of my favorite things about the s4 opener. they’re both so fucking jumpy and giving each other shit about being frightened and continuing to be frightened anyway. the DELICIOUS IRONY of arthur finally being scared of uther in the way merlin has been scared of uther for Y E A R S oh my god it’s so GOOD

do also love the entire silent conversation they have when deciding what to do about the door. this is what i mean by their upgraded vibe.l in the early seasons merlin wouldn’t have understood and his lack of understanding would have been played for laughs. now they’re totally in sync

here’s the thing, gaius could have made this magic “able to see uther’s ghost” potion for just arthur and he didn’t. he made it for both of them. everything arthur does merlin does. they’re partners in all things. they’re COMPANIONS. and this is why i finally now Ship It. tragic.

you know this is a kind of weird comparison but late seasons arthur reminds me JUST a bit of gwaine. he complains so much less that he sort of has that same “roll with whatever” vibe to him. pretend to faint so you can steal some guy’s dagger? why not. take this foul potion that may kill us? sure, let’s do it. come what may he’s not really fussed. much more unflappable

until he starts getting spooked again LMFAO

we do love a good pair of spooked dumbasses. this is charming and entertaining.

leon HAD to know they were lying about poetry. he probably thought they were having.......a tryst,

love also that even in this very dire moment merlin does NOT miss the chance to have some fun at arthur’s expense. that’s true friendship

i got jumpscared three separate times during this ep and one of them was when uther was glaring down merlin and arthur in the hallway after leon left

arthur didn’t jump but he did go hunting after him and to his credit he does not look scared. he looks like a man who is trying to deal with his business and get his shit together

merlin made that FACE again when arthur expressed sadness at hunting his own father because all he ever wanted to DO was make him proud

honestly it’s like since he can’t shit-talk uther he just sings arthur’s praises instead like this here is a guy who is just barely holding his tongue about how fuckin pissed he is. i cant believe it

splitting up was the WORST idea. have they not seen scooby doo??

love that when merlin gets cornered by uther’s ghost and gets scared he yells for arthur and when arthur gets scared because his torch blows out he yells for merlin. you fools, why did you SPLIT UP

uther locks arthur in the room with him, which is already some top tier content, but doubly good? it’s the same room in which arthur nearly ran him through in 2.08. don’t think i didn’t notice. i did notice. i was shrieking into my hands.

seriously this is a pretty calm liveblog but the first time i watched this ep my face was like this the whole time: O O

just kept going “HOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK OH MY GOD” over and over. it was greeat

“arthur your fatal flaw is that you put too much trust in other people” do you think arthur, who now has a complex about people betraying him, ever forgot that for one second in his entire life afterward? me neither

speaking of 2.08 arthur dropped some FACTS “your hatred comes from fear” i'm sure they didn’t do it on purpose but #throwbacks

i’m fully experiencing human emotion. “i’m not you, i can’t rule like you did” he’s trying SO HARD to fight his way out of that bullshit

also lmao arthur like “then you’ll have to kill me” and uther like “yeah okay” arthur didn’t KNOW how this man was this could have been SUCH a good awakening

AND NOW IT’S TIME

FOR MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS EPISODE

when i say merlin hates uther. WHEN I SAY MERLIN H A T E S UTHER

HIS LINE HERE. ok. “get away from him, uther. you’ve caused enough harm” he’s furious! he’s GROWLING!

“you are just a serving boy” “i am much more than that” listen. human words cannot express the emotion that ran through me. when they said “we’re gonna bring back anthony head as uther” i doubted. when they said “he’s gonna be the bad guy and reopen all of arthur’s old wounds” i doubted. when they said “he’s still here LITERALLY haunting arthur who now has to HUNT HIM” I DOUBTED. i didn’t believe they’d do any of it until it was happening on my screen. but ONE LOOK at merlins face made a MOTHERFUCKING BELIEVER out of me. i knew exactly what he was about to do. pretty sure i gasped “NO” in astonishment

AND HE DID THAT

HE👏

DID👏

THAT👏

NOT ONLY. DID I SHRIEK ALOUD. FULL SCREAM. WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME. BUT JUST NOW. WHEN I WATCHED HIM DO IT AGAIN. MORE SCREAMING.

how LONG do you think merlin had ACHED to do that

to show himself to uther for what he was, what he REALLY WAS, someone to be reckoned with instead of someone to be overlookedd, without fear of consequences

i can’t even like

like just imagine the triple rush of 1. satisfaction 2. rage 3. lingering habitual terror

i think at this moment merlin was closer to and more like morgana than he had ever been and maybe ever will be again. because the two of them have so much in common but one thing i didn’t really clock until now is how much they both hate uther

it’s so good. uther is SHOCKED and DISMAYED and this is like merlin’s old fear come back from death too (getting found out by uther) while at the same time being a dream come true (getting to tell uther what he really thinks, who he really is - “i was BORN with it!”) he’s so ANGRY! he is LIVID!)

he’s also really SATISFIED like “even while you were king there was magic at the heart of camelot” GOD how long has he been WAITING for this and not even realized it

and like then uther starts spewing his hateful bullshit and stalking forward with the intent to kill and my guy merlin who should be terrified STANDS HIS MOTHERFUCKING GROUND and says right over him “you’re wrong, you’re wrong” for thirty beautiful seconds merlin really got to be free. i know i will keep comparing things to 2.08 until i die but it’s just like when arthur was almost ready to kill uther in cold blood because for one perfect, brilliant moment he really and truly saw clearly the world as it was. i really love these moments...the strength of their respective convictions is so gratifying

merlin yeeting uther through a door is also gratifying although i have no idea what he hoped to accomplish by following without waking arthur first

i. LOVE. that the camera lingered a little on the spears or whatever after merlin walked by them. nice little foreshadowing moment

THOSE SPEARS GOT AWFULLY CLOSE BUT IM PRETTY SURE UTHER MISSED ON PURPOSE BECAUSE HE WANTED TO TAKE HIS TIME. HIS MISTAKE

okay merlin spent the better part of a lifetime dreading uther’s death sentence and here’s uther stalking down a hallway sword pointed at his chest and certain death is IMMINENT and what does merlin’s face look like?

arthur comes in with the rescue and INSTANTLY his expression changes to?

IT’S BETTER IN MOTION BUT HE LOOKS READY TO CRY

my immediate thought: oh jesus what if uther outs him

i knew he wouldnt bc of spoilers but i would bet a benjamin that that was merlin’s first thought too

tbh. i wish he had.

i kind of wonder if merlin doesn’t wish the same thing. like yes being outed like that is terribly violating and he’s terrified of telling arthur obviously or he would have already but at the same time there would be so much relief once it was finally out. no more secret-keeping. no more burden

i mean, if you go back and watch it, dude’s straight up shaking. he’s trembling all over. he’s losing it. that last teary glance they exchanged.......

uther was two SYLLABLES away from blowing the whole thing

and in a better happier canon where arthur knows and was waiting for merlin to tell him this is like double angst because uther wouldve ben blowing something for them both

i like arthurs followup of realizing that he’ll never be able to please uther (step 1 of breaking away from the cycle of abuse) but for the LIFE OF ME

i will NEVER be able to understand why they segued into this GLOVE THING

i’m not talking about the glove thing

i will say however that by the end of this episode i was so hysterical i had to get up and get water and pace around my kitchen for ten minutes fanning my own face

and that’s it. that’s the second-best episode of merlin and the last good episode there ever was

#personal #merlin blogging #it took me three and a half hours to rewatch this episode because i kept pausing to scream #MERLIN DESERVES TO BE OUT TO EVERYONE ALL THE TIME it's not FAIR #that episode deserved to be 20 minutes longer it ended too soon #in a happier world arthur found out about the magic and immediately took merlin's side and defended him against the genocidal maniac but app #apparently this show is a greek tragedy now

We can't forget 4x4, you guys. Diyoza thought they were boyfriend and girlfriend for a reason. Bellamy basically lost his senses for a while and started touching Clarke in ways that most sane people would be angry about if their significant other did the same with another person. It will all add up for Bellamy when he learns Clarke loves him. The b/echo scenes will be awkward after he realizes that and E/cho will feel a change instantly.

5.04 you mean but yeah. Everyone’s forgotten 5.04, and 5.03, and 5.01 frankly, and 5.05– actually they’ve forgotten EVERY scene that doesn’t have B/E or mention echo. Like it’s as if every other scene in the show has been erased because they are so focused on what they DONT WANT TO SEE. It’s ridiculous and not a way to go through life.

There can be 5 years of evidence for Bellarke which actually has NOT stopped even with canon B/E, the MINUTE she went away, it was immediately Bellarke team time. But they don’t care. They are having a tantrum.

(and I am going to look at all the scenes going forward to see if B/E has already broken up because I think maybe Echo broke up with him before she left, off screen. I don’t know, but I think it’s possibility. And if it happened, there should be signs in his behavior. actually i need to rewind and look at their goodbye and how he turns to Clarke to see if his behavior has changed. i think it might have. need to rewatch.?

6 and 22 for the end of the year asks x

6. Episode of TV or webisode that defined the year for you?

I really liked Danger, Will Robinson (Lost in Space 1.10). The scene with John and Don after the explosion on Jupiter 4 was my favourite.

I also loved Rewind (Agents of Shield 5.05). Purely because Lance Hunter was back.

22. Favourite place you visited this year? There's a few, Liverpool, London.. but I went to Newcastle with the girls at the start of the year, and I think because I was with them, and we had a great weekend, Newcastle was my favourite place this year.

Thank you 😘
