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 :___

Do you constantly think about how BBC Merlin randomly gave Arthur and Merlin a psychic bond which never comes back again until the very last episodes when Merlin communicates with Arthur telepathically through his dreams or are you normal

my watery friend... are you too brushed with the pattern of the dappled light...?

looking at merlin cast photos to feel some semblance of whimsy and joy

I love how they made gaslighting one of Gaius's main character traits

bbc Merlin if they let me design them

the thing i feel people don't really take enough into account when it comes to arthur's supposed obliviousness regarding merlin's magic is that merlin is the absolute opposite of what arthur has been raised to believe sorcerers to be. merlin is clumsy and kind and - in the earlier seasons - like walking sunshine. he so obviously has negative desire for actual power, nor any respect for it, and while arthur absolutely knows that merlin isn't stupid, he 100% is an idiot.

and it's not stupid or ignorant on his part! people just do this, whenever they are taught someone who does or believes a certain thing is inherently evil! it's never the friendly guy next door who snacks half of your breakfast and then just grins when you complain, obviously not! arthur trusts merlin even early on, and beyond belief later on. of course merlin can basically do magic in front of him, because there is no part of arthur that actually thinks someone like merlin could have magic. you don't see what you're 100% convinced can't be there. if he ever got there, his already brittle construct of indoctrination and supposed repeated confirmation of said construct would crumble immediately! as it does in dotd after like, a day. it only doesn't in regards to morgana because as far as arthur is concerned, the moment she started using magic she became the cold and ruthless enemy he still couldn't bring himself to actually pursue! like.

it's very easy to think it's startingly oblivious, but one thing i really wish people would keep in mind a little more is that the viewer watches from a different point of view, and operates with a whole other set of information. that arthur operates under a certain worldview in an environment that does not teach to question it at all, and gives little opportunity to do so. it's actually wild arthur questions uther's teachings as often as he does, and considering that every time he does, they, to his knowledge, just get confirmed again (nimueh, morgause, morgana, uther's death, and so on and so forth), it's even wilder that he keeps doing it
