If I had a nickel for every time I saw Arthur Pendragon portrayed as a genocidal maniac driven by hatred and grief-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’d have two nickels.
Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice.

22 September 2022 - Simply consumed by the idea of the Amphibia AU again and dug up + expanded on the notes I wrote for it:
Main Plot
Jim Lake Jr., Toby Domzalski, and Claire Nuñez are childhood best friends growing up in Arcadia Oaks. On Jim’s 16th birthday, they get magically transported to the land of Amphibia, where they are separated upon their arrival.
Jim ends up living with the frogs. He's taken under the care of Blinky and Aaarrrgghh (husbands) after Aaarrrgghh convinces a distrustful Blinky. We follow Jim, Blinky, and Aaarrgghh as they get to know each other and Jim adjusts to Amphibia. He wants to find a way home, and his new dads are trying to help him.
Amphibia
For my sanity, the magical characters are translated into frogs/toads/newts. They all live in the same Amphibia with the same sort of rules and lore. We’re just inserting characters into the story and redesigning them to fit into Amphibia. I’m also not calling them “good” or “bad” trolls because as the shows…show, people are complex and have potential to do good. Changelings also will make things a bit more complicated, but we’re going to make this work.
The trolls are translated over to the frogs. I find that they have a lot of similarities to the frogs in the early season. Market, trying to survive, eclectic frogs, suspicious of humans.
Blinky and Aaarrrgghh are husbands because I said so. Blinky runs a used bookshop and Aaarrrgghh is a farmer. Blinky has been trying to write a book about the history of Amphibia for years (and the town thinks he's chasing a pipe dream). He actually used to travel a lot with his brother who helped him research, but there was a falling out and his brother went missing. Aaarrrgghh is happily farming and selling produce in town, but frogs don't always trust him. There are rumors he used to work with the Gumm Gumm toads.
The Gumm Gumms are translated over to the toads. The relationship between toads and frogs is something of what I'd imagine it'd be like if the Gumm Gumms had taken over the other trolls. Plus, I think the strength and power of the Gumm Gumms matches the toads best.
I was debating between Akiridions and wizards for the newts. I decided wizards would fit the vibes of Newtopia best. It's like Camelot in a way, when you think about it. Plus, Arthur as Andrias is something I can't pass up because would you look at their character designs compared to the other characters? Big.
As for the Akiridions, I think they'll fit as some of the early inhabitants of Amphibia and be the ones to build the very advanced technology. My favorite part about Amphibia is the clash between technology and nature, and I think it'd be fascinating to explore with the Akiridions.
The Humans
Jim is an awkward guy who doesn't know exactly what he wants to do with his life yet. At home, he runs his family's restaurant. It's grown difficult since his father left (he was the chef of family), and his mom really isn't great at cooking, so it's mostly Jim running it. When he crash lands in Amphibia, he is terrified and confused, and he encounters a big scary...frog? This frog happens to be Aaarrrgghh, and he leads Jim to Wartwood and introduces him to his husband, Blinky. It takes some time to get used to Amphibia (Jim gets to try learning how to cook with bugs!), but he finds it to feel like another home. He gets the blue gem (for heart).
Toby will throw hands with anyone who messes with his friends. It's a bit of a problem. Here is where we get to see more of punk rock Toby because I said so. When he crash lands in Amphibia, he is also terrified and confused. He nearly falls down a hill. But he says, "Fuck it," grabs a big stick and bashes it at the first moving thing he sees...which ends up being not a thing, but a toad. Toby smacks Bular the Butcher with a big stick and gets thrown in Toad Tower jail. But Toby is also a showman, and begins to help Bular gain the favor of restless toads. Toby is determined to find his way and find his friends so they can get back home (Tobes is also not vibing with bug food). He gets the pink gem (for strength).
Claire is smart, pretty, and a brilliant actress, and she has a good left. Though she has a strained relationship with her family - being the "perfect" daughter of the councilwoman is rough - she loves her friends fiercely. When she crash lands in Amphibia, she ends up on the steps of the palace in Newtopia. As she's exploring, fascinated by this fantastical world, she runs into Douxie the newt on the streets. Douxie is the first to actually do something about Claire as Hisirdoux, Scourge of the Sand Wars, Defeater of Ragnar the Wretched, the youngest newt ever to achieve the rank of general in the great Newtopian Army- Claire cuts him off before he continues. Douxie insists on taking Claire to see his boss. They go on the hunt for Merlin, but end up finding him with Arthur in the throne room. Arthur decides to let Claire stick around to get back on her feet. Meanwhile, Claire conducts research and explores. Everyone really likes her, and she acclimates really quickly, making Newtopia her new home. It's not like she had much of a home in the first place...She gets the green gem (for wisdom).

Hi there! Are there any headcannons about Douxie and Morgana before she switched sides? Or even Arthur amd Douxie?
Oh, Douxie and Morgana is something I wish we had more of.
Initially, Morgana was annoyed by the fact that Merlin got another student - not because she had something against Douxie or felt insecure that her master was looking for someone to substitute for her, but because she believed that Merlin absolutely sucked as a master and didn't want him to control another unfortunate soul. Because of that, initially, Douxie thought that Morgana hated him and tried to throw him out of the castle.
Eventually, those two had a proper talk, and Douxie realized that he was wrong and Morgana actually liked him.
It greatly hurt Douxie that Merlin and Morgana fought all the time as he couldn't pick the side there.
Morgana actually liked Douxie's music and encouraged him a lot.
She also occasionally tried to convince him to switch masters but without being too forceful. Besides, Morgana is also the one who advised Douxie to try things Merlin disapproved of (much to the latter annoyance).
Morgana switching sides actually hurt young Douxie a lot. Still, he had enough time to process all of that before encountering her again during his time travel.
When Morgana processed Claire, she didn't realize that the waiter was Douxie as she thought it was someone with a similar appearance (as she wasn't sure that Douxie had survived for that long).
As for Douxie and Arthur, I believe that Arthur only tolerated Douxie because he was Merlin's apprentice, and well, I don't think that Arthur ever considered Douxie dangerous.
Douxie on the other hand, didn't have a good opinion of Arthur, and he absolutely loathed the system Arthur built because that one forced him into hiding.

Tales Of Acadia - King Arthur
I find this version of the character fascinating. Grieving, fanatical, villainous, heroic, tragic, evil, beloved. ToA Wizards interpretation of the King Arthur legend is just so interesting and i had to draw hum.

Do you have any headcanons of Morgana?
Hmmm I don't really think much about her if I'm being honest, but here's a few!
Morgana came into her magic pretty late compared to other wizards, such as Douxie. She's actually in her thirties during Camelot and only stops aging after she's trapped in the Trollmarket Heartstone. She would have anyway stopped aging, but most of her centuries were spent trapped, so she never really matured, her mind stayed trapped in a way too.
I think it's very hard to keep your sanity if you can't move your body and only have yourself for company. So I imagine despite Morgana finding ways to semi communicate with her changelings, she went a little mad during all the centuries she was imprisoned. That explains how crazy she was when she was eventually freed.
Morgana actually cared about Douxie quite a bit, she considered him almost a younger brother. But the fact he didn't question or defy Merlin or Arthur when he KNEW they were wrong frustrated her to no end. So she eventually clumped him with Merlin and Arthur to soothe her conscience when she fought against him in Wizards.

Toby: Hey Merlin, you practically raised King Arthur, Morgana, and Douxie right?
Merlin: You could accurately say that, yes.
Toby: Weeeell, who’s your favorite?
Claire: Really Toby?
Toby: Come on, I’m curious! He’s gotta have a favorite.
Claire: Parents aren’t supposed to have favorites-
Merlin, without hesitation: Hisirdoux.
Jim: Woah, no hesitation.
Toby: Why Douxie?
Merlin: He never turned on me and walked the path of darkness for one.
Claire: Yeah, that’s fair.
Arthur:….
Morgana: Fuck you too Old Man. 🖕
Douxie: 😎🤟

Good to see you back! Even if it's just for a bit.
I'm going to go with # 22
Tales of Arcadia The Giver!AU
Book 22: The Giver by Lois Lowry (#1 in The Giver Quartet)
Tumblr media
Content Warning: infanticide, suicide, euthanasia
I’ve got the newer cover of this book and the older one for Gathering Blue. This is very frustrating. But ohohoho. Angst. This won't be as impactful because I'm not aging any of the teens down to twelve year olds, but honestly I think that's better because even as sophomores, the Arcadia Teens have seen enough shit to last them a lifetime. I don't want them to feel even worse seeing some awful things as even younger kids.
Putting this one under the cut due to the content warnings:
We’re calling the society Avalon as opposed to the obvious choice of Arcadia because I said so. Also I think the idea of Arthur being on the Council, trying to form a "perfect society" with the Giver (Merlin) opposing him is an interesting way to shake things up a tad from the TOA canon.
Basically if you don't know The Giver, there's this society that has gotten rid of all pain, fear, war, hatred, and everyone is the same. There are no colors and discussions of deep emotions or difficult topics because there are no difficult topics in this society. Everything is fine and everyone is content.
Jim will be our Jonas.
I feel like either Merlin or Blinky would make a wonderful Giver. I think Merlin being the Giver fits better with his personality and role in TOA itself (and it also leaves room for Douxie and Merlin angst :D)
Onto the main plot:
Jim lives with his mother Barbara, his father Walter, and his younger sibling...who will his younger sibling be...I'll call her Petunia. Y'know. 'Cause she's like a flower? A bag...of flour?
At the ceremony, he given the Assignment of Receiver of Memory and now he's officially an adult.
Jim is freaked out by this huge responsibility on his shoulders because everyone is treating him differently
And so he meets Merlin (now the Giver) and they begin to work through each and every memory so that Jim can advise Avalon.
With every memory and every return back to his house, Jim learns about how Avalon is imperfect and people can't enjoy life because they know nothing of pain. He gets frustrated with Avalon.
I actually think the movie did an excellent job with the war scene and Jonas' reaction to the kids "playing war" so if you want to imagine how Jim is working through his everyday life now, go there.
Walter brings home a baby name Enrique one day from work. They grow close and Jim begins to share some of the memories with Enrique. But after a while, Walter says Enrique has to be released.
Jim tells Merlin this, and Merlin is deeply concerned. He gives Jim the memory of the last "release" he witnessed.
Merlin then tells Jim about the last Receiver, a boy named Douxie. He was Merlin's son and was initially really excited to be the Receiver. He worked through a lot of memories. He wants Avalon to thrive and prosper and to be able to prove to his father that he could handle being the Receiver, but things got incredibly heavy on him and he asked to be released.
I'll stop here since i don't want to spoiler it all (though I have covered most of it). I highly recommend giving this a read. It's one of my favorite books.
If you send me an ask with a number between 1-36, I'll respond with a TOA AU based on the corresponding book on my shelf.

Angst/Horror prompts: “I gave you everything and this is how you repay me?” for Morgana and “Breathe slowly, show no signs of fear.” for Mary.
Fury, cannot properly describe her simmering mood.
Morgana has been many, many things, a docile princess, an apprentice, a witch, a traitor, the mother of monsters. The list could be parchments long, she’s choosing not to dwell on it.
But now as she is knelt here, forced into a shallow bow before the throne her father once sat, a cruel man in itself.
She’s next in line to befall a horrific fate under the crown.
“Death isn’t enough,” Arthur decrees, pointing Excalibur down at her, in his shadow, below him, “not for you, dear sister.”
She fights the sneer trying to twist her lips. Showing him her discontent will only fuel his pride. And its quite a wide expanse, he’s always been too prideful, even as children.
The manacles dig into her wrists, cutting at the skin, restricting her movements.
Even the knights stay a wary distance away, their swords glinting in the harsh sunlight through the stained windows.
“I gave you everything and this is how you repay me?” She asks pointedly.
Her filthy half brother raises a brow. “Everything? Is that how you dictate treason?”
“Treason,” Morgana laughs hoarsely, “I saved your life too many times to account for.”
“You freed those trolls! You and your magic wielding accomplices!” He bellows and the people nearest flinch, unsteady with the kings rage.
Her handmaiden is amongst the crowd, good, they hadn’t suspected her despite her hand in the freedom of the trolls. Dark eyes scowling up at Arthur, waiting.
Morgana can sense the darkness wafting closer to the girl, intertwining it’s vines of plague upon her.
It seems she’s already decided her fate all on her own, shard of dark magic included, Morgana will let her walk her own path, even if it falls into oblivion.
Some cannot be stopped, their will too powerful to calculate what they could lose, or perhaps they don’t care.
“Your slaves?” Morgana hisses, acknowledging her brother, “Those you bound unlawfully?”
Arthur raises his chin, “Creating those creatures has been the final straw, those hideous amalgamations of human and filth.”
“They are the bridge, a sign of waning times.” She calmly announces. “Your reign is ending brother.”
“Preposterous!” Arthur swings Excalibur, red in the face with his rage. “The dungeons will be the last walls you see, your days end in a cell, wasting away.”
“Merlin, I want her taken—“
It seems then Arthur finally realizes his powerful wizard was never in the room to begin with, what he thought was his shadow wastes away into the dark, a mere diversion.
Morgana smirks.
“You’ve underestimated me again brother, all of you have,”
Murmurs fill the crowd, her handmaiden has stepped back, weaving through the bodies to end up at the doors, the lock swinging between her digits menacingly.
The girl is an incredible listener, Morgana will give her that and as she hears it click into place, locking each and every person in attendance inside, all the corrupt dukes and duchess, nobles.
The cuffs are weak magic, Merlin’s power is great yes. But it cannot hope to defer the sheer magnitude of hate when infused with magic.
Iron slides off her wrists as she rises, and she gets the most satisfying experience of watching Arthur’s face twist in horror, her hand rising to aim a broiling gold blast straight at his chest.
“And that will be your downfall.”
(That one scene in the Wizards intro where they have a proper battle in the throne room would have been so sick, and this kinda..slots into Tulips of Time? In a way)

If there was ever a Percy Jackson/Comics crossover, there's three characters that would definitely deserve to feature in that story: Aquaman, Namor and Wonder Woman. Since I'm more familiar with Marvel (they're easier for me to read, for some reason), I feel like I'd be intrigued by a Namor & Percy Jackson crossover. What would happen there? Would Namor admire Percy for being a son of the sea god? Or do you think there'd be any conflict? Either way, I think it'd be interesting.
