Do you have one where the serving staff/guards know of Merlin’s magic, but they choose to keep it a secret because he helps them out a lot (since he cheats when no one is looking, they leave him alone for bigger tasks so they can just get things done faster)? (And that the atmosphere somehow just got…better when he started working there, even if the King is still a murder-bitch?)

Like Merlin, doesn’t know that they know. Nobles and visitors aren’t allowed to know and the staff help shield him/explain it away.

(Headcanon Masterlist) (Full Masterlist)

OK SO!!!

I'm gonna write this as a set of rough headcanons as opposed to a fic, because I'm really struggling motivation wise at the moment, and this particular ask really spoke to me when I looked through my messages :D

It takes Gwen and George (as important, smart, and the-only-other-servants-whose-names-we-know) all of a week to figure out Merlin has magic. It takes the Cook two, it takes the Housekeeper a month and a half, and it takes the Steward just shy of six months. Yeah. Merlin isn't very good at being subtle. The former First Knight, Leon's grumpy, stick-in-the-mud-and-also-up-his-arse predecessor, never finds out (much to the effort of everyone), but Leon of course has it all lined up in his head an hour after he takes over the role. He'd suspected before then, but hadn't really had much to do with Merlin anyway until he'd taken on the job.

Anyway. All of this just means that Merlin has no idea how easy his life is in comparison to what it could have been if he's actually managed to keep his secret, well, secret.

Most of the knights don't know, but a few do. With the guards, it's the other way round. Most of them know, a few specific ones don't. Look, as much as a lot of people know, and it sounds like chaos, it's actually very well controlled. Well, it isn't at first. Merlin is very lucky that the first few people to find out are willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, because it's those first few that carefully control where and when the secret goes.

ANYWAY. And I actually mean it this time. A lot of people know and Merlin has NO fucking clue.

The whole thing goes unsaid, and bar a few of the main crew (the aforementioned Gwen, George, Cook, Housekeeper, Steward, and later on, Leon) no one knows exactly who else knows. So there's a lot of awkward shuffling and suspecting side eyes as they try and tiptoe around it all. None of the guards that don't know are EVER put to duty outside Arthur's chambers, and they're kept away from places Merlin frequents as much as possible (the armoury, the stables, the physician's chambers, the washer rooms, etc) just because Merlin has no spatial awareness and never realises when there’s a guard right next to him/just around the corner.

Oddly enough, other than Leon and Lancelot, none of the main knights are in the know, with everyone’s reasoning being that... they’re the most loyal to The King. And as much as Leon and Gwen can vouch for them, they don’t like actively telling people about the magic, they just... corral people if they find out accidentally. Lancelot, despite knowing about the magic, also has no idea about this whole thing, but everyone else knows that he knows. It’s stupid. It’s complicated. But Gwen, Leon, and George are in too deep now to backtrack so... they just carry on going.

So yeah. They cover for him all the time. At any given night there will be at least one knight or guard in the tavern, so whenever Arthur kicks up a fuss about how “Merlin can’t have been at the tavern again.” they’ll start spreading rumours about how whip smart Merlin is at poker, because he won against Halbrand, Remus, Gregor, and Flint last night. When they know Merlin has snuck out to deal with something, they’ll make sure someone in-the-know is posted on the outer city walls, so they can send word when Merlin is sneaking back in. This just means they can clear the main courtyard and route to the Physician’s Chambers of anyone so that Merlin can still think no one noticed him coming and going.

After a few years, people notice that there are two days a year, later on three, that Merlin does actually disappear to the tavern for. It took Leon a little while to figure out, and he still isn’t entirely sure he’s right, but the first one falls on the day that Merlin had to leave Camelot to protect his home from ransackers. Gwen had mentioned one of his friends had died, and the word is spread to make sure Merlin is left alone that day. The second... he isn’t sure, to be honest. He knows it falls around the week that the beast had appeared, bought by the bounty hunter, but he’s not sure if that’s relevant. He thinks maybe the beast must have killed one of Merlin’s friends, and again, the word is spread. The third is easy. The third falls around the day the dragon had attacked. Leon himself, as well as many of the knights and guards, head tot eh tavern that week. He finds it odd though, that Merlin seems to separate himself from the memorials, from the drinking songs, from those that gather in mourning, almost like he’s mourning something else entirely. But again, Leon doesn’t question it, and the word is spread.

When he’s noticeably injured, Gwen, George, the Housekeeper, and the Steward will randomly have free days/extra servants available to help out, to lessen his workload. When he’s exhausted, the Steward and Leon will reorganise things so Arthur doesn’t have anything important on in the morning, and Merlin can sleep in. I guess it’s just lots of stuff like that, small things, that Merlin could probably live without but... well, these people love and respect him so much, why would they leave him to suffer alone?? It’s not just the fact that Merlin protects the Kingdom with magic, after all, it’s the fact that he’s so lovely, to everyone. He helps treat the guards’/knights’ injuries without judgment, he’ll cover for people when they’re sick, he’ll do other people’s workloads just to be kind. So yeah, they look after him. Not just because he’s a vigilante or whatever, but because he’s Merlin.

I just... they look out for him, ya know?? And maybe he finds out, in which case he’s very embarrassed that so many people knew about it. Or maybe he doesn’t know, maybe he never knows, and all those people continue to protect him from behind the scenes, the same way he protects Camelot. Who knows.

~

I hope you enjoyed this, anon! I love you all so much, thank you for being patient with me!!!

The Maids of the Victorian Era

In the1800s and early 1900s the role of maid was relegated to women from families of modest means. It was a job that required a great deal of subjugation and a steady mood. It's presumed that some maids were subjected to the various moods of their employers, at the very least. At worse, servants were overworked and sometimes physically or sexually assaulted.

In terms of clothing, the role of maid required very little. The maid, while at work, either wore a uniform or a plain work dress. A white apron and cap were standard.

Wilhelm Amber • The Maid • 1862

The painting above shows a whimsical scene that if discovered by the employer may have resulted in a reprimand.

Except for the very rich, most households employed one servant – the "maid of all work". She was often a young girl who was taken in from the local workhouse. As the name implies, the role included all the chores of a household: cleaning, shopping, cooking, mending and washing. This grueling job paid very little due to the benefit of room and board. The maid often worked from early morning to late evening, with very little time off.

A simple black dress was often the uniform beneath the white apron. Notice in the photograph below that the two women are dressed identically.

George Lambert (Australian, 1873-1930) • The Maid • 1915 • National Gallery of Australia, Parkes

Kelvin Harrison Jr. as Joseph Bologne, CHEVALIER (2023)

There are various reasons why that powder blue is Joseph’s main colour. Firstly, it is the colour that is recorded to be one of Marie Antoinette’s favourite colours, so it made storytelling sense to use it for Joseph because it’s like his tool for social acceptance within the aristocracy and the French Court. It’s almost like a uniform that he needs to put on to be able to exist and flourish within that racially unjust society that he’s in... During the last half of the movie—which is what you’re referring to—he’s no longer looking for that approval, he’s in this self-acceptance mode and he embraces his cultural roots and becomes a part of the African community. So, the colours that he wears reflect that. -Costume Designer, Oliver Garcia (x)

Servants I Want to see in FGO

Catherine the Great (Rider/ Ruler)

Saint Olga of Kiev (Ruler/ Avenger)

Tomyris (Lancer/ Rider)

Hua Mulan (Archer/ Lancer)

George Washington (Rider)

John Henry (Lancer)

Molly Pitcher (Archer)

Harriet Tubman (Rider/ Archer)

Mary Seacole (Caster)

Harry Houdini (Caster)

Judith (Book of Judith) (Assassin)

Abhimanyu and Vrishaketu (maybe Archer for both ?)

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Caster)

Sybil Ludington (Rider)

Deborah Sampson (Archer)

BONUS

Yudhishthira (Saber) - but as a Lily version of himself so that he can be the pampered little brother for once and not have to put up with his younger brothers’ BS. Duryodhana tries to make fun of him for it and Yudhi goes running to Karna, crying. While Karna chastises Dury for making fun of him, Yudhi evilly smirks at Dury from behind Karna, who faithfully plays into the Big Brother role. EVERYBODY is aware that Yudhi is basically playing Karna besides Karna!

Modern Merlin Moodboards (Part 1) (Revamped);

Character: George the servant.

Modern name: George Brass.

Age: 37 years old.

Modern job: Butler who doubles as a deadly body guard and an occasional chauffeur.

Short rundown of their modern life: George grew up responsible for his very ill mother, his younger brother—Morris, and his younger cousin, Tyr, in Britain.

After his mother's death when he was 24, he moved to America with his brother (Morris) and cousin (Tyr) for a new start where he would go on to meet his employers (Elena and William Knightley) who hired him nearly immediately after looking at his resume.

He's worked for them ever since and has met both his wife, Winnie, and his sister-in-law, Sefa, through his job.

Because of this and how well they have treated his family, George has become their unofficial (deadly) body guard. Making sure no harm reaches them—like he use to do for the servants back when he was just George the servant. Unbeknownst to him (in this life) and the others (in the last).

Character: Bronwen the servant.

Modern name: Winnie Brass.

Age: 37 years old.

Modern job: Private Music Tutor.

Short rundown of their modern life: Winnie Brass was born into a poor family and knew from a young age that she wanted to be a singer.

After the death of her parents when she was in her late 20s, she got back in contact with her cousin Elena who hired her to be a musical tutor for her recently adopted son, Marcel. Through this job she met George and within two years, the two where married. Now the two live in a three bedroom home with George's brother, cousin, and sister-in-law.

Character: Morris the servant.

Modern name: Morris Brass.

Age: 34 years old.

Modern job: Gardner and occasional babysitter.

Short rundown of their modern life: After the death of his mother, he moved from Britain to America with his brother and cousin for a fresh start and he started working For Will and Elena Knightley as a Gardner and an occasional babysitter for their son, Marcel.

He also met his wife, Sefa, through his job and now the two of them live with his brother, sister-in-law, and cousin.

Character: Sefa the maidservant.

Modern name: Sefa Brass.

Age: 30 years old.

Modern job: Housekeeper.

Short rundown of their modern life: Sefa Brass ('nee Bourne) was born to a soldier turned government official of a small country that's name she was never allowed to learn. Her father raised her from birth to be the perfect spy and sent her and her brother on countless missions that went off without a hitch until her brother went missing when she was 14 and he was 7.

A year later while on a mission her father failed to pick her up from the rendezvou point causing her to wait for days before wandering the street to look for him.

Which caused her to meet Gwen who gave her a job and a roof to stay under until she found a better opportunity, slowly teaching her English as she did so.

Eventually Sefa found a job application in the paper and became a maid for The Knightleys which led her to meeting her husband, Morris, who's family she and her brother now live with.

Character: Tyr Seward.

Modern name: Tyr Brass.

Age: 27 years old.

Modern job: Stable hand.

Short rundown of their modern life: Tyr Seward was raised by his aunt after his mother died of an illness when he was 5. He lived with her and his two cousins until her death when he was 14, which caused his two cousins to move to America with him for a fresh start.

He grew to know the Knightleys (his cousins' employers) well and eventually went to work for them after he dropped out of high school when he was 18.

He now lives with his cousins and their wives in a three bed room home.

Character: Sir Elyan.

Modern name: Elyan Smith.

Age: 40 years old.

Modern job: Photographer and Travel Blogger.

Short rundown of their modern life: Elyan Smith was born to a poor family and ran away from home when he was 15 not long after his mother died, feeling like he was a burden to his family.

Not long after his father's death, Elyan got back into contact with his sister and became a travel blogger and a photographer, promoting the businesses of his sister and her friend when he did so.

He ended up meeting his wife, Mithian, at Will and Elena's wedding when he was hired to photograph the event and they married three years later.

Not long after Elyan married her, the two began volunteering at Tristian and Izzy's Youth Center, which is how they ended up adopting their two sons, Salem and Clover, after Elyan saved them from drowning.

Character: Princess Mithian of Nemeth.

Modern name: Mithian Smith (nee Nemeth).

Age: 37 years old.

Modern job: Nurse.

Short rundown of their modern life: Mithian Smith (nee Nemeth) was born in the Netherlands to rich socialites and moved to the United States after her father's passing.

Not long after she moved, she attended her good friend, Elena's, wedding where she met her future husband, Elyan, who was the wedding photographer as well as Will's best friend, Merlin, and Merlin's family who quickly became a good friend.

She went onto befriend him, started medical school, and a year she started dating him. Two years after, the pair married and started volunteering at Tristian and Izzy's Youth center, where they went on to meet and adopt their two sons, Salem and Clover, after Elyan saved them from drowning.

She now lives with her husband and sons in a house not far from Gwen's shop, and works in the same hospital as Merlin.

Character: Shrine Boy.

Modern name: Salem Smith.

Age: 11 years old.

Modern job: None. He's a student.

Short rundown of their modern life: Salem Smith was born Salem Shrine and grew up a foster kid who spent most of his time at Tristian and Izzy's Youth center to escape the terrible loneliness he felt.

Until one day where he was saved from drowning by Elyan Smith who adopted him with his wife not long after when he was 7.

A year later, he became a big brother when Elyan saved yet another kid from drowning (this time in a flood) and adopted him.

Now he lives with his family in a house not far from his aunt Gwen's shop.

Character: Ghost Boy.

Modern name: Clover Smith.

Age: 5 years old.

Modern job: None. He's a student.

Short rundown of their modern life:

Clover Smith is an amnesia afflicted boy who Elyan saved from drowning during a flood when he was 3, leading to the man and his wife adopting him. Which granted him a big brother as well.

Clover only has flickers of memories from his past but none that really make sense in this time period. All of which are very traumatic. Because of this he does not talk much.

⚔️👑⚔️👑⚔️👑⚔️👑⚔️👑⚔️👑⚔️👑⚔️👑⚔️👑

Mood boards for my Merlin story 'it's time, it's time, it's time' where the younger characters of Merlin get reincarnated and have a second shot at life. Minus Leon and Merlin who are immortal and have to find a way to prevent history from repeating itself.

Big thanks to @hufflepuffpirate20 , @gwaine-lover , @genderfunky-lesbian , @everything-but-the-not-natural , @witchmd13 , @sautedonions , and @purpleblobfrompluto for the help they gave back when this au started off (which was a lot). Tag list: @history-of-stories .

The Idea of George being an assassins was inspired by one story I can't find as well as the following ones below:

1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Here is a link to the story on ao3.

I need hot house hightower hc and lore 🫠

I have a few in my House Hightower tag!

They're definitely one of the coolest houses in Westeros. They have historically dabbled in alchemy and necromancy. They have a Valyrian steel sword called Vigilance (ofc they do). There's a possible maester conspiracy going on. Lord Leyton is obviously doing sorcery up in the High Tower and sending his sons on various errands. There are known to be glass candles in Oldtown. Tower of Sauron symbolism? Future Panopticon if Euron gets his hands on it? In any case, Leyton is clearly a man with a plan.

"The Hightower must be doing something." "To be sure. Lord Leyton's locked atop his tower with the Mad Maid, consulting books of spells. Might be he'll raise an army from the deeps. Or not. Baelor's building galleys, Gunthor has charge of the harbor, Garth is training new recruits, and Humfrey's gone to Lys to hire sellsails. If he can winkle a proper fleet out of his whore of a sister,* we can start paying back the ironmen with some of their own coin. Till then, the best we can do is guard the sound and wait for the bitch queen in King's Landing to let Lord Paxter off his leash." The bitterness of the captain's final words shocked Sam as much as the things he said. If King's Landing loses Oldtown and the Arbor, the whole realm will fall to pieces, he thought as he watched the Huntress and her sisters moving off.

They're preparing for a massive Lovecraftian showdown against Euron. We're all going to be rooting for the Hightowers come TWOW! I am begging the fandom to stop sleeping on this house. They're right at the junction where magic, science and religion intertwine - all expressions of man's quest towards transcendence!

*that's Lynesse Hightower, Jorah Mormont's wife, the person indirectly responsible for Dany's entire arc.

#pls don't let oldtown fall george!!!#house hightower #leyton hightower #malora hightower #they're in a part of westeros surrounded by places with selkie and merling legends #like the shield islands (up north)#and the mermaid's palace (near the island of the arbor)#the base of the high tower might be made from similar material as the seastone chair??#the hightowers would be servants of the eye in the magnus archives

SHANNON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not ready. I just know she's going to die. 100%.

My list of certain victims for the first twlight: Natsuhi + Shannon. Rudolf might be a red herring, but sure let's throw him in here too. Rosa will probably survive since her relationship with Maria is obviously still up in the air. So yea. Natsuhi + Shannon + Rudolf.

Also raising my eyebrows at the feelings here. "Exaltation and uncertainty". The narration is doing its best to make her seem like a blushing bride and I'm not sure how well to take it at face value. Are her standards so low that the godawful conversation we just witnessed is seen as romantic in her eyes? Big L
