I don't know if I'll finish this one honestly, but here you go :_ I have some things to share w y'all +announcement below

Sometimes I think I'll never win against this endless art block. Just when I think I'm ready to make something, my whole being won't let me. I thought something's wrong with me, spoke with my mom about it. She said that it's probably bc of the fucking war(tm). Last shelling really did a number on me, the missile hit only 600 or so meters away from my building (CIVILIAN APARTMENT BUILDING of fucking course). 10 people found dead under the rubble. I have even more trouble sleeping now, I wake up in the middle of the night bc I get a feeling I hear a missile coming :_ . I have extreme nightmares about death, every day is a fight, so. There's nothing wrong with me and everything wrong with this world, but the point still stands, I can't draw anything big or somewhat rendered bc of it.

So, a small announcement. If you have sketch requests, consider sending them into my ask box. I won't guarantee I'll notice it right away, but when I do I'll try my best to draw it. Consider this a small apology for my absence bc even though it's justified I STILL feel extremely bad about it :___

Taking a moment to really enjoy the “Fffffffffffff-!” at the end, and wondering if he had been hanging around Bradley “what the fuck!” James too much in that fight scene.

sometimes we all need a reminder of: thank god this kid does actually have magic, because this survival method would get him nowhere fast

Did we ever figure out why BBC Merlin was trending?

Soul wrenching gut punch of a thought — Arthur realizing just how important he was to Merlin, even in Camelot. Waiting 1,500 years would just the icing on top of a very big cake.

Sometimes, I think about how Merlin purposefully turned Arthur against magic twice—the first time to save his soul and the second to save his life—so when he finally told Arthur he was a sorcerer, it was the ultimate bamboozle.

“How could the bumbling idiot I’ve known all these years have been my greatest protector the whole time?” Yeah, sure. But also: “How could a sorcerer have chosen me over magic? Over his own freedom and the freedom of those like him? Over the gods who created him and the religion that saves him?” It’s one thing to die for someone and another thing entirely to give up who you are for them.

Obviously, Merlin was wrong, and that’s why playing God had an effect opposite to what he’d intended. But I think it’s so interesting to consider how Arthur might have viewed this confession. He was betrayed by Morgana because she loved herself more than her own brother and betrayed by Uther because he loved himself more than his own son. And all of this while Merlin, at first, fell in love with the cause and, then, even more with the man behind it. His loyalty to and love for Arthur was so pure it turned sinful, and I don’t think Arthur would have ever gotten over that. If he hadn’t died.

do you ever just … picture a whole scene, a whole fanfiction in your head, you know how to place every single word of the english dictionary that you need (or your language dictionary), you know how to structure your sentences, you know just what your characters are going to say to each other and then… and then you just open microsoft word.

Taking the opportunity while Merlin is trending on tumblr to repost a bunch of my old digital art, created using ProCreate for iPad, over the past few years.

1 - Arthur from season 5 (an Inktober prompt from a while back)

2 - Merlin Introduces Arthur to Kilgharrah (just a wild imagining)

3 - The sign in front of Merlin’s manor from We Begin Again (also from Inktober)

4 - Another We Begin Again scene of Merlin and Arthur on that one particular evening when they got their heads out of their asses (finally)

Quick, Merlin is trending! I'm using it as an excuse to ask you to share a merlin doodle or old sketch or WIP :) anything as silly as you want to celebrate this random day :)

Oooh thank you for the ask mossmx! Here's a little animation test for a merthur animatic/edit I'm working on. No idea if and when I'll finish it but the idea for it has been floating around in my head for weeks now <3

Quick! While Merlin is randomly trending: I went to the Renaissance Faire this weekend and made a Merthur coin necklace!

Dragon for Arthur and triskelion for Merlin!

Two sides of the same coin and all. I was proud. I had to in depth explain this to my friend that I went with.
