i love that aredian managed to name merlin as the sorcerer by planting evidence and not, like, knowing merlin is an actual sorcerer. so close to the truth and yet so far from reality

She blinked at him in confusion as if he had grown a second head. Morgana was like a sister to him and Merlin was the bravest man he’d ever known. He was good, loyal, and kind. Yes, he thought, it could be worse. He noticed the women exchanging a look that he couldn't quite decipher but then Morgana shook her head. “No,” she said and firmer she repeated: “Just bring him back home.”

Tywin and Rosalind’s Children

I’ve decided to update the Prologue chapter eventually, there will be some changes but the biggest is that I want Rosalind to be married to Tywin for longer, and that means more heirs to the Lannister legacy. I’m getting better with using Artbreeder, though it’s still not quite what I would truly like it to be. I have these potential children all planned out for birth dates and appearances but I will not reveal more than the first two’s years to avoid unwanted spoilers. 

Tyrus Lannister, the heir to Casterly Rock

Born: 299AC at Casterly Rock

Looks: He possesses the traditional Lannister colors, Tyrus has light golden hair that he wears short with emerald green eyes. He resembles his half-brother Jaime and Uncle Kevan or a softer feature version of his father Tywin. (Eyes reference, duller and a bit darker)

Name: From the Lannister traditions of “Ty” and works as a combination of Ty+win in regards to his sister Winona as the first two children of Tywin from Rosalind. The name Tyrus means “land of the yew tree” from Tyrone and “heir to the throne” from Cyrus. The fictional weirwood trees resemble real-life yew trees to reference Rosalind’s homeland and fulfill Tywin’s dream of a worthy heir to replace Jaime and prevent Tyrion’s claim from coming to fruition after his death. 

Winona Lannister 

Born: 299AC at Casterly Rock

Looks: She displays the classical appearance of Lannister women with wavy golden hair, though hers is much darker than the common light whitish blonde hair. Winona has jade-green eyes flecked with gold like her father’s. She does not have the true beauty that Cersei, Myrcella, and Joanna possess. Winona is considered to be fairly pretty though not particularly remarkable. (Wavy hair alternate and Eyes reference)

Name: Winona is partially named after her father’s suffix matching Tyrus’ name possessing the prefix of Tywin’s name. Winona originates from the Dakota people and their language wherein Winúŋna means “first-born daughter”. It is closely related to Wynora / Eleanor which is derived from Greek and means “shining light”. 

Aredian Lannister

Born: xxxAC at Casterly Rock

Looks: He primarily reflects his Lannister heritage with some traces of the Stark long facial structure. Aredian has golden hair that he wears shoulder length with some light waves in texture. In his beard, eyebrows, and hair undertones there are hints of the Tully auburn color. His eyes are minty grey-green and melancholic. Aredian is considered to be of average appearance with no common trait of attractiveness.  (Eyes reference)

Name: Aredian is derived from many different things. In Scandinavian cultures, Ari means eagle, and Ari in Hebrew means lion. In the Badaga language, Ari also means “sun-like”. The combination of an eagle and a lion create the griffin creature which is seen as the king of kings for beasts as the lion is referred to as the king of the jungle and the eagle the king of skies. Aredian is partially remade from Adrian which from Latin correlates to the sea or water to make a general reference to Casterly Rock’s location on the coast of the Sunset Sea.

Pronounced as “Uh - rid - ian”, similar to iridium 

Loreon Lannister

Born: xxxAC in King’s Landing

Looks: He has golden hair with pale green eyes flecked with gold, his eyes are shrewd and calculating. Loreon is a spitting image of Tywin in his youth, he resembles his father tremendously leading to comments on Loreon being Tywin’s twin or clone. Loreon wears his hair short and tidy. He sports a light beard that is also neatly trimmed. (Eyes reference)

Name: From the ancestors of House Lannister, Loreon the first King of the Rock.

Clayre Lannister

Born: xxxAC in King’s Landing

Looks: Clayre has auburn hair with bright green eyes. She favors Rosalind the most and is fond of her Tully heritage. Her hair is straight and she generally wears it long and unadorned. There are soft brown undertones to her hair. Clayre is comely in appearance and is often regarded favorably like her Aunt Sansa and Grandmother Catelyn. (Eyes reference)

Name: It is a respelling of Claire which means bright, clear, and famous. From French and Latin origins it can also be described as “fair-colored”. Rosalind named Clayre after her mother. 

Rory Lannister

Born: xxxAC in ????

Looks: Rory has golden auburn hair that he wears long and wavy curls. His eyes are wolf-like with a wildfire-green color. His hair could be called golden copper, golden red, or similar descriptions. Rory’s hair is primarily auburn red with natural golden highlights that are subtle in most lights. He generally is clean-shaven and is well regarded as handsome though his eyes are commonly thought to be striking and full of burning hunger. (Long hair reference, younger Rory somewhat, wildfire color reference albeit not glowing)

Name: Rory’s name is Irish and means “red king”, derived from the High King of Ireland in the 1100s who fought against Anglo-Norman invaders. It is similar to Rodrik, Roderick, Rogar, etc. 

Cerion Lannister

Born: xxxAC in ????

Looks:

Name: From the ancestors of House Lannister, Cerion a King of the Rock who greatly extended the kingdom’s domain. 

Marius Lannister

Born: xxxAC in ????

Looks: Marius has sandy blondish brown hair with pretty sea-green eyes. (hair is lighter than in the picture, blonder highlights, and eye color reference)

Name: Marius is comprised of a few naming elements. One aspect is from “Maria” which means “a drop of the sea” and another is Mars being the Roman god of war leading to a meaning like “sea wars, or warrior of the sea”. From Latin Marino / Marinus there’s a general relation to the ocean or sea.

Additional Names

Boys - Addam, Cedric, Godric, Gilderoy, Jason, Benroy, Lucias, Lucien, Kasar, Leo, Leobald, Lyonel, Jeremy, Tybur, Tyrek, Tyrone, Tybolt, etc

Girls - Joanna, Jeyne, Gwyneth, Aemma, Tyshara, Cerelle, Ariel, Myrielle, Ellyn, Cassandra, Irene, etc

Rosalind wishes to name girls after Joanna and Jeyne Lannister to honor Tywin’s first wife and mother, but he eventually only agrees on the condition that she can name them as such if she has twin girls

watching the witchfinder episode and it's truly a wonder that merlin survived up to this point bc he can't lie for SHIT. aredian asks him, "was it you who performed magic?" and merlin sits there like a FOOL and unconvincingly says, "no!" like sir... please get a grip

Merlin Characters as Animated Villain Songs! Part 5

Lady Catrina - Mine, Mine, Mine (Ratcliffe, Pochahotas)

Mine, boys, mine ev'ry mountain And dig, boys, dig 'til ya drop Grab a pick, boys Quick, boys Shove in a shovel Uncover those lovely Pebbles that sparkle and shine It's gold and it's mine, mine, mine

And I'll be on top of the heap! My rivals back home It's not that I'm bitter But think how they'll squirm When they see how I glitter! The ladies at court Will be all a-twitter The king will reward me He'll kiss... no, he'll marry me!

Arthur Pendragon & Knights - Mob Song (Gaston&Mob, Beauty and the Beast)

The Dragon will make off with your children It'll come after them in the night We're not safe till its head is mounted on my wall! I say we kill the Dragon Kill it!

We're not safe until it's dead It'll come stalking us at night Set to sacrifice our children to its monstrous appetite Itl'll wreak havoc on our village if we let it wander free So it's time to take some action, boys It's time to follow me

Through the mist, through the woods Through the darkness and the shadows It's a nightmare but it's one exciting ride

Say a prayer, then we're there At the drawbridge of a castle And there's something truly terrible inside

Hear him roar! See him foam! But we're not coming home 'Til he's dead! Good and dead!

Hearts ablaze, banners high We go marching into battle Unafraid although the danger's just increased

Raise the flag, sing the song Here we come, we're fifty strong And fifty Camelotian can't be wrong Let's kill the Beast!

Aredian the Witchfinder - The World's Greatest Criminal Mind (Ratigan, The Great Mouse Detective)

From the brain that brought you the Camelot Caper The head that made headlines in every town crier. And wondrous things like the Tower Bridge Job That cunning display that made London a sob

Now comes the real Tour de Force Tricky and wicked of course My earlier crimes were fine for their times But now that I'm at it again An even grimmer plot has been simmering In my great witchfinder brain!

Even meaner? You mean it? Worse than the widows and orphans you drowned? You're the best of the worst around Oh, Aredian Oh, Aredian The rest fall behind To Aredian To Aredian Camelot's greatest witchfinder mind!

ALSO Aredian keeps a metal chain cilice in his locked cabinet and I KNOW he uses it on himself. I JUST KNOW THIS

#Aredian is so using that thing on himself. #moss text #Aredian #02x07

[niishiki]

“Your prince has been snooping around,” Aredian hissed. “It won't be long until Gaius realizes that I used Belladonna and I will not wait for this crazed king to arrest me - not when I have a real sorcerer at my hands! Oh, stop denying it. People like you sell for a pretty coin in Escetir and I can use the money.”

I really wanna talk about this scene because I find Uther’s reaction really interesting.

Uther has rarely, if at all, shown any compassion towards sorcerers, or anyone suspected of sorcery. He was a tyrant. Uther was known to compulsively arrest and sentence people without trial or listening to any reason or explanation, which has led him to executing innocent people, such as Gwen’s father. Even when Arthur or Morgana have tried to change his mind, he usually didn’t. His hatred for magic made him compulsive and ruthless.

But this scene interests me because Uther hesitated to arrest Merlin when Aredian accused him of being a sorcerer. All the times before and after this episode, we see Uther not even think twice about arresting or sentencing someone without listening to any reason. But he trusted Aredian. Aredian concluded that Merlin was the sorcerer but for whatever reason, instead of arresting him, Uther gave Merlin a chance to speak up and defend himself. I find that really interesting because we know that Uther had little regard for Merlin’s life, or the life of anyone that wasn’t a noble. He wouldn’t have lost sleep over arresting or executing Merlin. He also didn’t like Merlin. And of all the times Merlin made a fool of himself and Arthur in front of the king, Uther really had no reason to trust anything Merlin said either. But he did trust Aredian and his methods and you’d think that Uther would have trusted his findings and not given any second thought to arresting Merlin. Especially since he often arrested and sentenced people for less.

My only theory for why he didn’t immediately arrest Merlin is that he knew Arthur would have raised hell, but I don’t really think that’s the reason. When it came to executing people suspected of sorcery, Uther was ruthless and I don’t think Arthur pleading with him would have done anything. Ultimately, I think if Uther had stuck to his reputation, Merlin would have immediately been arrested. I think this was a microscopic act of nobility from Uther. I’d love to know what was going through his mind though.

I love this scene so goddamn much.

Look at Arthur's face. Look at where he's looking. Not Aredian. Not Gaius.

But Merlin.

Expectantly. Tensely. He knows he's going to do something.

Look at how instantly he gets up when he sees Merlin charging forward - to him this is not surprising at all.

How well Arthur knows Merlin and how much he's willing to do for him isn't a blaring light in this episode - it's shown in small pieces like this, which is why I love this episode so much.
