oh i thought misa’s poll was for third place?
I was under that impression too, but I'm not gonna fight about it y'know? I'm pretty sure it's the finals, but even if it isn't, you know this is the real final in our hearts.
Again, LOVE Misa, girlie was done super dirty, reduced to a sexy dumb ditz when she managed to figure out Kira before L himself, so loyal she gave away years of her life for magic eyes, and treated with contempt and scorn by the narrative for having a crush on a guy who doesn't give a shit about her. I'm not downplaying a scrap of how badly she gets treated in Death Note.
That said... Atom Bomb vs Hydrogen Bombs, y'know?
Bumble's short life is in the background of two books. She's dragged back to a domestic abuser for being a useless fat lady, apologizes for being upset about that on her deathbed, and gets gored just so we'd be sad about her serial woman-thrashing murderer's reputation. Everyone who hurts her is a celebrated hero who was never "truly" bad, their constant violence and contempt towards women excused and justified, her life so worthless she's not even tallied under Tom the Wifebeater's crimes... in a book for 10 - 13 year olds.
Cordy's last season is a DARK, EDGEYY character assassination that made everyone on the set uncomfortable, involving adoptive incest, forced birth, and body possession. When the beloved and long-standing character was killed off unceremoniously, cast members were left to speculate why and blame themselves for years, until Charisma Carpenter came out recently to reveal that everything done to her character was possibly (likely) Joss Whedon trying to hurt her through destroying her most beloved and lucrative role.
Like, Misa's got it bad. Cordy IS, and Bumble SHOULD be, LEGENDARY.

idt there's ever a character that makes me just as happy as percival does .... i pretty much grew up w/ him (alongside mordred) so they both mean the world to me.
but percival hits different because his narrative is one that's deeply human and ground to earth. and also he's just silly and happy i always liked to explore the philosophy of kindness through him because percival to me always felt like such a kind, pure-hearted character. he's very human
and also he's just hilarious sometimes his stuff seriously reads off like medieval spongebob because of how unhinged he is. idk percival appreciation day i just love him

Hey, look at me! I did it. I listened to a new-me-album. I don’t do that very often.
It took me 2.5 years to listen through all the mechs albums and feel like I have spent a good amount of time with each, feel content with them. Reach for them all equally as much (except maybe TtbT2, which is my favorite).
It has taken me 8 months to decide to listen to a second Jessica Law album. Not because I didn’t like Languid Little Lies, but because I absolutely adore it!
I’m just so happy and content to listen to the same stuff all the time that I don’t ever feel the desire to seek out new stuff. That goes for music, podcasts, tv, movies.
I feel a bit bad for not having more knowledge on the other projects mechs members have done and continue to do. I would like to love everyone’s work, it’s just gonna take me years to get through everything sufficiently. But also that means I don’t have to fucking worry if I do come to a point that I’m desperate for something new because there will be something to reach for.
And like, I didn’t like HNOC for quite a while. I continued to listen to it on occasion because I liked everything else I knew by them; didn’t understand why I didn’t have any enjoyment from it. I think it was mainly because I had almost zero knowledge of Arthurian legend. Had to read Gawain and the Green Knight in high school and listened to a retelling of the story where Merlin gets trapped in a cave forever by a lady on Myths and Legends (podcast); didn’t really care at all. Wanted to care (about Arthurian Legend) because I knew that a lot of Celtic myth got fucked up and put in there. So everytime I listened I’d end up reading more about Arthurian legend because I couldn’t remember who was who until finally I understood it well enough that I could actually enjoy everything smart about it and the music itself and trans Mordred and more and more. I didn’t have that issue with OUaTiS or UDaD or TBI because I had knowledge of European fairytales and Greek myth and enough about Norse myth already. Same reason I usually skip Drop Dead, the first song on my favorite mechs album. I just don’t care about it at all, in an ambivalent way. It doesn’t do anything for me. But I also have no experience with Crypt of the Necrodancer. But I listen to it on occasion because there’s nothing wrong with it and maybe this time will be the time it clicks.
#the mechanisms#jessica law#i also have apd and a general processing disability so that likely exacerbated my inability to follow hnoc without knowledge the legends#like i think very very many people will think its silly that i literally couldnt follow the album before that#but my brain doesnt sort information into memory categories well *and* struggles with auditory info#sorry that i couldnt remember that in legend mordred in the son of arthur and morgause. arthurs sister#or who is gawain and who is galahad#i still get those name mixed up but just the names not the characters#i was very good at remembering that lancelot will only fuck arthurs wife though. thats wild in a morally monogamous society#but its also the whole reason when youre with a bunch of people and your introducing yourself youre supposed to give a fun fact#or your favorite color or something#the more info you have to link together. the easier it is to recall.#anyway not sure why im telling yall this#and i really like hnoc now!#do i have concerns about it regarding the fact its a western and the ‘indians’ are cannibals?#yeah absolutely!#do i think consuming the flesh of a human is inherently morally wrong?#no!#comes down to the negative stereotypes against native americans#obviously saxons arent native americans but they are filling that role in the western setting#im sure theres way more to be analyzed regarding that. but i am not the right person for that.#its 1.45 am and i am crocheting a giant millipede#languid little lies#udad#hnoc#ouatis#tbi#the littlest libertine#i guess i havent spent a lot of time with dttm but thats because it songs from other albums#and the versions ive seen didn’t have all the audio so i didnt even get all the death stories

merlin spoilers so look away if for some reason you haven’t watched it yet but
I had never seen it until this november and i know i’m literally the last person in the world to hop on this long-departed train but i finally finished it today and I’m Sorry why did no one tell me the finale is literally fucking brokeback mountain why did they make this what were they thinking i don’t understand any of this what was the reason why did they ignore arthurian legend in order to make merlin a twink WHY DID THEY DO THAT???? what was their goal? why is the literal plot of this show that merlin was so sickeningly devoted to arthur that he’d rather save him than EVERY SINGLE MAGICAL PERSON IN CAMELOT??? AND WHY WAS HIS DESTINY TO PROTECT ARTHUR SO THAT HE’LL MAKE MAGIC LEGAL BUT THEN HE ENDS UP DYING BEFORE HE CAN EVEN DO THAT??? SO WAS MERLIN’S DESTINY PURELY TO BE IN GAY LOVE WITH ARTHUR????????? WHY DID THEY MAKE THIS
AND ANOTHER THING is this secret neoliberal propaganda because if the point is that they have to wait for LITERAL CENTURIES for arthur to return, then that means that morgana was fully right to have a revolution awpeofijawefpoawiejfwaepfoiawef also why on earth didn’t gwen make magic legal??????? idk maybe it’s incredible satire that just went over my head
why did they make this????1111!???
loved it tho i’ll probs rewatch

all merlin had to do to circumvent the prophecy of arthur’s death was take mordred in and turn him into a little arthur fanboy. it’s a win-win situation. merlin gets to gush about his man crush to this random ten year old and mordred gets a bunch of cool knights to love him and raise him. he’d hear about his destiny to kill arthur from someone and simply go “why the actual fuck would i do that.”

An AU where Merlin is literally a God in Mordred’s eyes. Like, a genuine God.
In this AU Mordred and Merlin’s relationship is not fucked up by prophecy. So, everytime, kindhearted Merlin saved Mordred without hesitation. And Mordred grew up in a Druid camp that reinforced the idea that Emrys was a literal god. So naturally, HE WORSHIPPED MERLIN.
Once Arthur became king and magic was legalised, Mordred came to Camelot to become a knight because that was the best way to serve Emrys.
But when he arrived at Camelot, he struggled to comprehend the fact that Merlin was… human???? A very clumsy one, in fact. The rest of Camelot, though might know about Merlin magic, did not know how great ‘Emrys’ actually was so they were just confused, concerned, and/or entertained by Mordred’s ‘crush’ on Merlin.
He would stare at Merlin the entire first meal they had together, and people would be like: awww, Sir Mordred is crushing on Merlin so hard!!
Mordred: Emrys??eats??food?Food??Is ?eaten?by? Emrys?emrys?consumes?meal????
Or when he saw Merlin tripped on the training field
Mordred: i think the area is cursed. Strongly cursed.
Leon: what—
Mordred: THEN WHY ELSE WOULD EMRYS TRIPPED?????
Arthur: So, how have you adjusted to life in Camelot so far? Is there anything that is bothering yo—
Mordred: Merlin
Arthur: what did my stupid manserva- I mean Court Sorcerer do-
Mordred: I saw him drank water today
Arthur:
Mordred: He just drinks water????? From glass?????? Like?? He drank?? Water???? You know??? Literal water????????????? For drinking???HE??needs??water?to??live?why??
Morgana: why did I saw Mordred ran out of the meeting room screaming that you guys are trying to ‘Destroy his faith in his religion’. You knights better not bully him because he is a druid and has magic—
Gwaine: I told him Merlin is not here because he needs to take a shit.
Lancelot: Hey, Mordred, I noticed that Merlin has not received the note I asked you to deliver to him yet.
Mordred: But I already send it to him?
Lancelot:
Lancelot: Tell me how
Mordred: I burned it at the altar
Lancelot: what altar—
Mordred: and pray to him, as one should???
Merlin: WHY IS THERE SOMEONE SCREAMING IN MY HEAD THAT I HAVE AN IMPORTANT MEETING TOMORROW AT NOON!?
Or when they went on a long mission or hunting and Merlin, out of his old habit, made food for the knights
Mordred: ‘this is the most excellent food ever had bestowed on me, I shall never forget about this Emrys. I will pray to you even harder. I am the luckiest Druid to ever live—- ‘
Percival: … is the stew that good?

The relationship between Aelwyn and Adine has come so far, and still feels very much like two sisters who used to be rivals/enemies. They're navigating funky waters and it's great. I totally understand the reasons why Aelwyn can't live at Mordred Manor, though. It's fucked up, but very understandable.
But also THE TEN CATS. HECTOR.
As someone who has, unfortunately, become intimately familiar with the smell of cat pee, that apartment sounds like an absolute nightmare. The fact that she specifically doesn't want Fabian to see it too?
Aelwyn isn't just a bitch who I love so much. She's an absolutely relatable mess of a person. And I love her so much.

Ya know, drow society sucks balls and Mordred is a huge bitch, but I can honestly see why he hates his sister so fucking much.
I mean, your a boy born in a tyrannical matriarchal society and you wanna make a place for yourself in it, preferably in the form of a position in power where people will actually respect you. But not only are you nor able to hold ANY claim to being an heir to your house because of your gender, the sister that you have that actually CAN go places is very much not qualified for it, and just fucks off. (barring any context to the situation that only u are privy to of course)
Anyway this sibling dynamic saddens and intrigues me
YES! YES YOU GET IT!!!! THIS IS EXACTLY IT! (ILY!!)
I know I wrote Mordred as a huge bitch but he's rightful to be one! Placing oneself on Mordred's side, it would be as clear as day that his sister destroyed and has taken everything he knew for him. His beliefs, his goals, his overall ambition.
To surfacer, yes, he might sound like he's wired 'wrong' but to him? To Mordred its what he believed in. It's just the classic case of 'different culture, different perspectives', and whether Mira realized it or not she did wasn't respectful of that due to her 'surface' influence (their father).
So if we switch this whole protagonist role, i won't lie Mira is definitely the bad guy in his story. No one is 100% true no matter how good their intentions are. After all, good-ness is more often than not, subjective at best.

Merlin characters as shit me and my friends have said
(Requested Part 2)
Gwaine: It tastes like if gay was a flavour. But an artificial one, like strawberry that doesn’t taste like strawberry. … I don’t know, I drank too much gay. Wine. Shit. What?
Percival seeing Arthur throw money at a problem for the first time: Rich people are bloody terrifying, what the fuck?!
Merlin: That’s not angst, that’s just a random Tuesday. … oh, yeah okay. Point taken.
Leon: Huh. That is… surprisingly sound logic for you. Are you feeling okay?
Morgana: I’ve both given and received death threats for less.
Gwen, after becoming a deer: Well that wasn’t on my bucket list but at least it’s checked off.
Leon to Gwaine: Empty your pockets and give back the pickles. … why aren’t they in the fucking jar?!
Merlin to the knights at the shrine: I know logic isn’t exactly your strongest suit but I’m gonna need you arse wipes to take the two brain cells you have collectively and attempt to rub them together to get one singular coherent thought here.
Gwaine to Arthur: The risk was calculated, I just never specified that I am notoriously shit at math.
Merlin after doing something nice for Mordred: Don’t mention it. No seriously, don’t fucking mention it. Ever.

the fact that Arthur is canonically fully aware of how people keep betraying him and still incredibly trusting at the same time really fucks me up. do you think he ever wonders if it’s his fault entirely? if he’s just inherently not worth any sort of loyalty from those he loves, even though arthur loves so deeply. he loved Morgana so much and when she betrayed him he still loved her, despite Morgana’s betrayal he trusted Agravaine even when he had reason to suspect he shouldn’t because Arthur loved Agravaine too and above all else Arthur is loyal to those he loves. Arthur loved Mordred, and in the end it was that love that made Arthur hesitate to fight Mordred, that love is what killed him. Arthur loved Gwen and even she betrayed him, it wasn’t her choice and Arthur knew it but I’m sure he still felt the sting of another betrayal when he first found out. a slight seed of doubt was probably planted that day.
Arthur loved and trusted Merlin. no matter how many times Arthur was betrayed he never once, in their entire decade of friendship, even conceived the idea that Merlin would betray him. that idea was so utterly off the table for Arthur that in that one episode he was poisoned, as soon as he found out Merlin got blamed for it Arthur actually thought it was funny and had Merlin released immediately with absolutely zero doubt in his mind. Merlin knew Arthur trusted him this way and Arthur knew Merlin knew…
and yet when Arthur found out even Merlin had betrayed him in a way, despite all his other betrayals he still found it in himself so easily to understand Merlin, realize why Merlin had done it, realize that Merlin was the only one who had betrayed Arthur to help him instead of hurt him, and forgive and appreciate Merlin because above all else, Arthur is loyal to those he loves (and there’s perhaps no one Arthur loves more than Merlin).
Arthur loves and loves and loves, but from his perspective that love consistently was never enough. not for his father, not for Morgana, not for Agravaine, not for Mordred…
But it was enough for Merlin. It was more than enough for Merlin. Merlin’s betrayal was because he loved Arthur, not in spite of it, and Arthur was able to recognize that in his last moments.
Arthur loves and trusts to his own detriment, but Merlin was probably one of the first people to show Arthur that his love meant something beyond the superficial “I love you too”, that Arthur’s love was worth something, that Arthur was worth something.

alright let’s go over the junior year clues we got in the rick perry documentary thing (disclaimer: i’ve definitely missed stuff, but i think i got the big things, feel free to reblog and add with stuff that i missed though)
[at the bottom of this post I've typed out the decipherable words that plan out some combats and NPCs from Rick's screen. it's the most interesting thing but it's super long so it's at the bottom under a cut]
We get a blurry look at some minis. I’m seeing at least the PC’s minis, as well as what looks like Baxter the Gryphon.
Tumblr media
There’s some major shots of this battle. Includes a Baby mini, the Hangvan with some kind of laser canon on top, a stingray-esque monster that is likely Night Yorb (see below), something that looks like maybe an ice elemental or the crystal (see below), and some large bugs and shirtless people. Clearly set in the Red Wastes. Detailed info of the planning for this battle below.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
One of the shots had reference boards in the background. One is clearly for the Hangvan (see earlier screencaps), but the other is unclear. It looks like it includes some sort of tennis or tennis-adjacent sport.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Confirmation that Mordred Manor is a set piece.
Tumblr media
Finally, one shot showed Rick’s computer screen with some critical info about planning. I’ve put what I’ve been able to decipher below the screencaps. and under a cut, as it’s very long.

so as i am a dork my mc should now be a dork too
aka a hound who, upon realizing they are now in a space where it's cool to be affectionate with people, quickly becomes very casually touchy with the cast. except morien, bc they're more touch averse. hence:
morien: why exactly have you decided to store this plushie in my working area?
hound: well one, it was a gift from mordred. two, it reminds me not to get in your space. (squeeze)
(morien positive emotional damage #1)
(bonus: mc later gets into sewing and makes plushies for any kids who visit morien to play with, but admittedly they're mostly for morien. morien positive emotional damage #2)
Morien, every time MC squeezes the plushies: ... fuck. That's cute.
Honestly, I see Morien softening up around your MC after that, slowly allowing MC into their space, tolerating their presence even when they are grumpy and in pain.
Even, after a bit of time, coming to sit by your hound's side, handing them a treat.

Merlin is going to murder Arthur and rest of the round table knights(except Leon and Lancelot they're the most level-headed of the bunch) for getting ambushed on a stupid hunt on a beast they had no knowledge of without taking him.
Merlin: [grumbling to himself] I can't believe this–well I can–Arthur is an idiot, and the knights are also idiots for going along with it!
Morgana who is trudging by his side nods in agreement, both her and Merlin had warned Arthur of hunting down the unknown beast since they didn't know of its origins, if it was dangerous, or if it was weak against magic, of course Arthur didn't listen to them.
Morgause and Mordred follow quietly behind the court sorceress and the warlock consort as they came to stand beside them as they observed the unusual tracks; they were heading in the right direction at least.
Morgause: [hand on sword, looking boredly over to Merlin] It's moments like these I wonder why you married a foolish King.
Merlin: [massaging his head from the incoming headache, he glares half-heartedly back at Morgause] Because he's good at fucking me—uh, pretend I didn't say that.
There was silence between them, before Morgause barks out a hearty laugh(scaring away a few birds in the trees) with Morgana cackling next to her, Mordred on the other hand doesn't know whether to wish for the ground to swallow him whole or do as lord Emyrs says, pretend he didn't hear anything.
For his sanity's sake he will do exactly that.
