Okay okay thinking about it, really thinking about it. My post from the other day (here) I said "you see him slip into this version of himself that is hardly recognisable, even when you compare him to his characterisation in S4" talking about S5 Merlin.

And then I really thought about, okay but what if say S1 Merlin was put into S5 Merlin's shoes, would he do any different? Would he?

Honestly, think about it.

Let's take him at the end of S1, where he was ready to give up his life for Arthur completely to save him. I mean sure he did that in S1Ep4, and tried to do it in S1Ep11, but Ep13 is where it really hits. He said goodbye after all.

This is a Merlin that was ready to tell Arthur about his magic, but was locked out of the possibility after Will lied as he died to protect him.

This is a Merlin who already tried to kill Mordred. Or well, let him die really. Not so much kill.

So let's look at lines from S1EP8 about Mordred dying vs Arthur dying, shall we? ...

"Would you let something terrible happen if it meant you'd stop something even worse happening in the future?"

"One of them's bad, really bad. And the other, it's...unthinkable."

"For once, you don't have to worry. I'm going to do nothing."

I cut out Gaius's replies because Merlin's lines are more important here. The 'something terrible' and the one that's 'bad, really bad' refer to letting Mordred be executed.

Meanwhile the 'something even worse' and 'it's unthinkable' refer to Arthur's death in the future.

He decides to do nothing as we know, he decides to let Mordred die, right up until Mordred pleads with him through telepathy.

That's the S1 Merlin we're dealing with.

Maybe if you took him from Ep1 or pre-S1 yeah he'd act differently, but S1 Merlin is as much defined by Arthur's impending death as S5 Merlin is.

The only difference is between them, S1 Merlin has destiny propelling him forward just a little more than S5 Merlin does. Whether by love or sheer dedication, S5 Merlin is even prepared to push aside his own freedom to save Arthur's life, just to condemn Mordred to death.

Would S1 Merlin do any different?

No, no I don't think he would. Not if he saw the vision, not if he saw Arthur fall.

S5 Merlin is defined by what he saw in the pool, he's defined by seeing what he believes is Arthur's death (not yet knowing he would survive for days after acquiring that wound)

If S1 Merlin, or even S2, 3, or 4 saw that same vision? I don't think they would do any differently.

Maybe he had more hope earlier on, sure, but that would be missing the way that S5 Merlin hopes. He tells both Mordred and Finna that it "won't always be like this". He hopes for freedom as much as S1 Merlin does, he's just more prepared to prioritise Arthur.

But isn't that what he's always done? S2, when he struggles to lie, but still does lie to Arthur about Morgause and his mother - He's thanked for reminding Arthur that sorcerers are evil.

The way he acts just before telling the lie is so similar to his expressions when he's about say "There can be no place for magic in Camelot" in S5Ep5.

That's the thing. I know I bang on about how S5 Merlin is so much darker and he is, he grew up after all. But I truly think if S1 Merlin saw that vision, nothing would have changed.

Nothing. Not even his actions with the Disir. Why would he, if there's a chance to try and kill Mordred Merlin always took it. Or tried to as much as he could.

S2 Merlin, put in S5 Merlin's shoes, might even edge closer to murder, that man tripped that kid up in the hope that two guards would kill him, and instead watched as Mordred killed the guards instead.

What, Merlin was innocent back in earlier seasons? That boy, that man, he was never innocent, man was down to murder from his very first day in Camelot.

So yes, S5 Merlin has ten years give or take of saving Arthur and setting aside his freedom, and that did indeed darken him and change him and mould him, but S1 Merlin already had enough experience that nothing would change.

Merlin was always going to condemn Mordred, he barely knew him early on after all, and later, he already had the knowledge of the vision.

Let's not forget that in S5, Merlin says he likes Mordred, but that he can't ignore what he saw. That he can't save the life of a man destined to kill Arthur, that he can't ignore what the dragon said. That Finna was right, he cannot trust Mordred, not after all he's been told.

I don't think any Merlin could do any differently if he was told all that, and shown Camlann.

There's no such thing as an innocent Merlin, not when it comes to Arthur's life. We can say he became too blinded, but in S4 he killed Agravaine, used dark magic to lock away Morgana's magic for a time, and took away Arthur's free will. S3 is a little harder, but he did command Kilgharrah against his will. S2 Merlin is easy, he tried to kill Mordred, and morbidly held Morgana as she was dying to the water he poisoned. S1 Merls is just people dying left and bloody right. Nimueh, god should we ever forget about the way he killed Nimueh. She fucking exploded.

All this to say, S5 Merlin didn't abandon his values because he already did that when they all first met Mordred. He just became more and more set, darker and darker over time. But if any version of himself was given that vision by the Vates, it's over, it's so over, because that's all it took.

To see Arthur fall, that's all it took. It's all it would ever take.

#bbc merlin #merlin #look look just hear me out here #s5 merlin might go brrrr on the whole matter of Arthur #in a way that is different #but like i dont think if he was put in those shoes earlier on that it would be different #like really thinking about it - Merlin was always down to try and get Mordred killed #that's like his whole thing with Mordred #and I understand that #I don't blame him I cant because I understand the difficult position he was in #here's this kid and later older boy/man who is gonna kill someone who he's really close to #friends with soulmates with you know #like yeah he's gonna put Arthur above Mordred every day of the week #because Mordred is nothing in comparison - Arthur is everything to him #there's sometimes i feel like over the years i read things in this fandom about how it's all Merlin's fault for condemning Mordred but it's #like okay cool - but he was never gonna act differently that's just not in his character #He would never turn his back on destiny or prophecy visions and whatnot #in fact it's often Gaius saying there are many futures that steers Merlin wrong #silly Gaius not knowing of Arthur's fate - the never ending circle :P #still it's important to really look at Merlin and appreciate this is just how he is #from the very moment Kilgharrah implied that Mordred would be Arthur's death - Merlin was set to do everything he could #and the second Mordred came back into their lives - after he saw the vision - what could he do? what could he bloody do? #im still surprised to this day that he didnt just try directly - i mean i know why he still has morals but i think he was close #Merlin would have always done this that's the thing no matter at what stage - this was exactly who he was #someone prepared to do anything to protect the people he loves - not just Arthur - like again Nimueh Nimueh Nimueh #oh my god Nimueh - do you guys ever watch Merlin kill her from time to time - it's so brutal - I think that's the moment he's at his #scariest like even some of the darker S5 scenes dont match up to that

you should kill yourself if you spend 12 minutes sorting around your notes on your desk, making sure they look messy but also the prettiest ones are on top, posing your textbook open and having the most "academia" looking web page or lecture slides on your laptop screen before taking a picture and posting it on your social media story while quietly scrolling through songs to put with it.

#every time exam season comes around #people do this religiously #i hate it profusely it's so incredibly vain and pointless #you're like the people who go to the library for an epic study day and set up your big environment #only to sit on your phone for 5 hours #have the humility to be honest about your study habits and what works and what doesn't #i feel like its a form of cognitive dissonance this type of stuff and a form of lying to themselves #which is the one person you should always be brutally honest to #txt #i plan ahead and give myself so much extra time because i know my time efficiency is dogshit and i compensate for that #i try to avoid talking to other people about studying and i try to insulate myself when i am #of course for med school it's impossible not to talk about it as your classmates will bring it up in every third conversation #which opens the pandora's box of listening to other people talk about it which is atrocious as all people ever take away from it is #'oh my god everyone is doing so much more i'm so behind' #which isn't true everyone is in their own variation of hell just slightly different #i try to block it out completely when i can #med students have this annoying tendency to group themselves into these circles of self feeding despair and nervousness #i mean all of med insta is full of dogshit memes like this of the same 'le epic med stress' memes #kill yourselves you people are self fulfilling prophecies #josef lada ice these fools #to chce klid #as the man said #a taky trošku sebevědomí #and also not listening or giving a fuck what anyone else is doing #každý ma svůj systém a svůj styl #and have a life outside of this as well

#i think i have a few screenshots of when izuku finally confronts yagi about the things he's holding back #and once i get to them i'll need to add them to this post bc #this narrative line too! #of yagi resigned to death to promising inko that he'll live for her son #to that confrontation where izuku finds out about nighteye's prophecy and is like fuck that you're living #the way they keep circling around to it and the way that him fighting to live also goes hand in hand with his relationship with izuku #becoming a RELATIONSHIP and not just a hero worship pedestal situation #like izuku seeing his flaws calling him out on his flaws seeing past the 'powerful hero martyrs himself' trope #to the flawed person underneath and going 'ok fuck this you're gonna live' #and like? the way that EVERYTHING all might is about--singlehandedly conquering! unbeatable! pushing past his limits to always win! #gets broken down over the course of the manga as he becomes a real CHARACTER and not just an archetype #idk i got off topic #yagi toshinori #midoriya izuku #tt reads bnha

#gravity falls #gravity falls oc #gravity falls ocs #doodle #sketch #i keep forgetting my older ocs #but like theyre so useful whenever i dunno what to draw #and i dont even remember their og backstory for the most part #i think it had something to do with how i thought that since there was a prophecy for the whole bill cipher circle thing #there had to gave been a weirdmageddon previous to the one in the show and that was how they found out that worked to kick bill out #dunno gotta go back to my old stuff to see what it was

ferrari will take track position and no new tyres and then tell them to lift and coast to save those old tyres and then be disappointed when they lose more positions when they gain....

[insulationsun]

marcy overall got a bit sidelined, hence the lack of marcanne... S3 felt more like it was about the calamity duo and an extra (marcy) than the calamity "trio" lqskeulgqeyuf

FKDSFJKDSF DAMNN...OWWWWW ANON yeah eyah youre right though. the way they set up marcy really seemed like she'd like. do something More important or be more important than she really was? the build-up to her reveal, the promise w anne, true colors....like

and i was hesitant to be like "oh not enough marcy focus" or "theyre gonna get to it, we need to see the whole thing" so thats kinda what i did i wanted to see it through to the end before i make any judgements dsjfsd

but now yeah i think i can confidently say they couldve done more with marcy, but i know she was something they hadnt figured out till s2 got greenlit?( i believe) so. it makes sense that her arc didnt rly come full circle towards the end

and im not one to be like ohh they glossed over true colors! but in the grand scheme of things there was a LOT of setup about marcy that just ultimately didnt go anywhere,

and like... similar to oscar pine in RWBY i feel like when youre putting characters(esp child characters) through a lot of hell you gotta like . Justify the inclusion of these scenes, yknow with some payoff? they gotta react to the event or something or idk its gotta come up or be something reoccuring..but like. and i dont doubt that there was Some meddling there since they fought so hard to get that scene there in the first place; but it was still a decision that had to be made

like, do we want to have this Grand and dramatic death scene but sacrifice being able to Talk about it or give it a real payoff or not have it at all?? and i guess . that happened idk

but its more than just true colors like yeah everything in season 2, just ..yeah she got sidelined shdfsd. no two ways abt it, i think.... i also think that marcy shouldve gotten more scenes just. like By herself??? i love what we got in All in but it still felt...idk.

but i dont wanan feel bad for having expectations when they're the ones that built her up, i guess? not impossible expectations bt yknow a bit more... especially in her perspective. bc in the end we still lacked a lot of marcy perspective episodes, not even olivia and yunan is in her perspective, yknow?

the most introspection we got from her was like projection sequence and all in?? and i guess a bit of the finale (and yeah, that sidelining is obvious with how short her goodbye scene to andrias was) sooo sjnfds

ahhhhhh. so many things. it is a bit frustrating ! !!! but i guess since the story didnt rly start based around the Trio it had to be worked in and then. well. once we get to s3.......skfdslf.

so it makes sense but oghe. [ lays on the ground... ]

#asks #LAYS DOWN... #YEAHA................. #im aware the show isnt meant to rly focus on the girls also but. #with how everything was presented......how realistically written the trio are #it is little wonder people got attached to them #but i hope this doesnt sound like i think the show revolves around the trio djfsdjfs #cos i dont think its meant to BUUUUT theyre still a big part of the story regardless #and thats not me . saying that like theyre all Catalysts for things in amphibia and like #prophecy says they gotta save amphibia right? #so theyre important #it just kinda sucks with how nicely sasha and annes arcs kinda come full circle and how marcys really . didnt #couldve benefitted from an entire ep in the mindscape- and i think there were quite a few eps that couldve been sacrificed #JUST ME THOUGh #bt yeah i dont think it was unreasonable for some ppl to have some of the expectations they did abt marcy #lotsa set up #amphibia spoilers

Chief Arvol Looking Horse Calls for Unity

All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer: Chief Arvol Looking Horse, 19th Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe, calls on people from around the globe to gather at sacred places on June 21 and join in prayer for the healing and protection of Grandmother Earth.

June 21, 2022

We warned that one day you would not be able to control what you have created, that day is here. Now we must unite once again to create an energy shift upon Grandmother Earth. She cannot take any more impact from all the selfish decisions being made.

We have come to that place in this time upon Earth, to now make a stand together. To unite -- each in our own sacred life-ways we have chosen to walk, whatever religion or belief, go to your sacred spaces and join us in these special prayers for the Earth on June 21st. It has been proven we can create miracles when we unite spiritually.

Many white animals have shown their sacred color throughout the world now, and they continue to communicate that we are at the crossroads. We have walked through two years of losing many relatives through a terrible disease, and so have the animals and plant life also continue to suffer. The imbalance of Mni wic'oni (water of life) causing droughts and fires to severe flooding is everywhere, and I feel more suffering is to come from all these poor choices that are being made.

I humbly request a time from each of the two legged in this world to send a prayer to heal our precious Earth and the balance of Mni wic'oni to be restored. Begin to prepare in your homelands to unite -- All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer -- for the sake of Grandmother Earth, our source of life not a resource.

In a sacred hoop of life where there is no ending in no beginning. Chief Arvol Looking Horse 19th Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe
