Morgana Pendragon

Fire and Ice by Robert Frost

#I know this will probably flop because no one else is as insane about morgana as I am #but guysss. fire as magic but also as desire #with merlin it manifests as moon/sun icarus/apollo you know the drill. reflecting light and love back on arthur. afraid to get too close #but with morgana its a moth to a flame. she gets burned. she tells gwen to leave and take the candle with her.#in 5x12 she asks the sorcerer to EXTINGUISH FIRE to prove his magic. she sees that as the ultimate show of power #whereas merlin CREATES FIRE to prove his magic to arthur #morgana is always fighting to repress her love whereas merlin is fighting to keep his alive #aaaahhhhhh #morgana pendragon #morgwen #bbc merlin #merlin #bbc merlin edit #merlin edit #morgwen edit

STOLITZØ - FIFTY NINE

Stolas and Asmodeus wandered down the hall to the private waiting room.

“Tea?”

Asmodeus raised an eyebrow. “More of a coffee man myself.”

Stolas nodded.

“I’ll boil the water,” Asmodeus wrapped an arm around Stolas’s shoulders and pulled him in for a squeeze. “And you can grab the mugs and accouterments.”

Stolas smiled sheepishly up at Asmodeus and nodded. Asmodeus laughed heartily, gave Stolas a light noogie and released him.

Stolas stood there looking like a confused cockatiel, and Asmodeus tried very hard to cover his laughter (suddenly remembering the hour of night) when a wiry baphomet nurse shyly came up to address them.

“Your Majesties. I’m sorry to intrude…”

“What is it?” Stolas snapped. He cringed.

Damn. Be nice. She’s just a messenger…

Asmodeus looked at him like “Mmmooookaaaay, girl! You tell HER!”

Stolas shot him a look. Asmodeus snickered.

The nurse rubbed her hands nervously.

“Prince Stolas? Your presence is required in-”

“Yes, yes.” Stolas waved his hand, interrupting the nurse. “I understand.”

He swept past her and headed toward the hospital administrator’s office. He’d spent a lot of time there the last two weeks. He’d also gotten to know the board of directors quite well.

Asmodeus slid up beside him and matched his fast pace.

“What are you doing?” Stolas gave Asmodeus the side-eye. He didn’t slow his pace.

“Giving you some back-up.” Asmodeus grinned at him.. “You may be great with contracts, speed-reading and words. But I’m the Sin with the gift for gab, persuasion and seduction of all kinds.”

Beguiling charm oozed off of Asmodeus’s final words and Stolas felt a warm, euphoric shiver run down his spine. He couldn’t stop his feathers from fluffing.

Asmodeus chuckled. “See? I have my uses.” He waggled his eyebrows.

Stolas blushed.

“Yes. Quite.” He cleared his throat. “Thank you. I appreciate the support.”

The two stepped into an elevator.

Asmodeus clapped him on the back. “That’s the spirit!”

***

“I’m sure you can understand the dilemma we find ourselves in, your Highness.” The hospital’s head administrator folded his hands on the table in front of him.

Stolas and Asmodeus stood across a great table from the six hospital board members and head administrator.

Stolas had begun to liken the group with a collective of hospital mafia Dons. Three sharks, an incubus, an imp hybrid (that reminded him a lot of Striker) and the baphomet head administrator, sat in expensive business suits at the far end of the table. They all gave off an air of menace, ambivalence and power.

That didn’t matter though. Stolas was done being f*cked with.

“Your father has tremendous power.” The administrator continued. “And we wish to remain on his good side. For obvious reasons.”

The other board members nodded in agreement.

“Smug mother-f*ckers,” Asmodeus muttered under his breath. He clenched his fists, his flames growing, ready for a fight.

Without looking over, Stolas touched the back of Asmodeus’s hand lightly, as if to say “I’ve got this.”

Asmodeus looked over at Stolas, surprised.

“I understand all too well the dilemma you are in, Members of the Board. But, respectfully? You have NO legal grounds to refuse treatment.”

Stolas pointedly looked at each member before continuing.

“Cowardice is NOT a legal leg to stand on.” Stolas slammed his fist down onto the table, splintering and breaking off the last eight inches of the table.

The room erupted in shouted threats from the board members.

Asmodeus could feel the power and rage rising off of Stolas.

“Daaaaamn,” he mumbled. “Stolas! Babe! F*ck. Their. Sh*t. UP!” He quietly cheered him on.

The board members snarled and snapped from across the room.

“How DARE you speak to us this way!”

“We can eject any patient we wish at any moment!”

“You may be a Prince, but”

Stolas’s eyes shone a radioactive red, and waves of heat and power licked off his body.

“Yes. My father has great power.” Stolas’s words hung in the air like a cloud of acid. The board members stood still as stone, afraid they might be burned.

“But,” The lights in the room dimmed and flickered and a great monstrous shadow grew on the wall behind Stolas. “You have NO idea the TRUE power I wield.”

The board members huddled together, cowering at the sight of Stolas and his demonic shadow.

“Yes. Well.” Asmodeus cleared his throat. He stepped up next to Stolas, placing a hand lightly on his mid-back so the others couldn’t see.

The small touch grounded Stolas, reigning in his rage. The lights stopped flickering and his demon shadow slid down the wall, shrinking back into his own. But the waves of power still licked off of him, keeping the board members sufficiently frightened.

“If this is a matter of money and losing Goetian favour.” Asmodeus continued, addressing the cowering board members. “You don’t need to worry about that. You have my personal guarantee as the Sin of Lust and an Ars Goetia King, that your hospital will not lose funding or favour in the Goetian courts.”

The board members looked at Asmodeus. Then at Stolas. Then back at Asmodeus.

Stolas reigned in his power and stood tall so as to look down his beak at the board members.

“If my father was truly going to threaten your hospital simply because of who I’ve asked you to care for, he would make the threats in person. Not through middlemen, lawyers, and” Stolas snapped his fingers and a pile of papers on the table went up in flames “Memos.”

“Ye… Yes of course, your Highness.” The head administrator stammered.

“Great!” Asmodeus clapped his hands together loudly, startling the board members and sending them cowering again. “Everything’s settled then! Care will continue for Mr. Blitzø - no expense spared. You all no longer bother Prince Stolas with this frivolousness. And we’re all hunkydory!”

He grinned and looked between Stolas and the board members. “Right?”

The board members nodded emphatically while cowering behind their chairs.

“Fabulous!” He turned heel, threw open the door and walked out of the room. “Let’s go, Stolas! Better places to be!”

Stolas turned to leave. He paused at the door.

“Do NOT waste my time again.”

The lights flickered, a few bulbs burst in their sockets.

Stolas waved a hand over his shoulder as he left the room, slamming the door with a very satisfying and frame splintering ‘bang’.

loquatius' speech being a "candle of hope held forward to the world", shortly after cerrit literally burns down his own home with a candle. wonderful coincidence

#city center #crlb #exu calamity #it's about scale it's about intention it's about cerrit being the only one who isn't a massively powerful mage practically running the city #AND it's about contrasts of a grand candle of hope to the world and a solemn act of self-reflection #AND both of them being the most focused on others. idk. candles & hopes & dreams. cerrit always looked for flaws and he always looked down.

Fall is that time of year when everything shifts. The summer sun gives way to cooler days, and the world around us transforms into a riot of reds, oranges, and yellows. For me, fall symbolizes new beginnings, and it's not just because school starts again.Sure, the start of the school year is a big part of it. The excitement of getting new school supplies and diving into new classes is hard to miss. But fall means more than just hitting the books. It's a season of change and reflection.As the leaves drop from the trees, it's a reminder that sometimes letting go is a beautiful thing. Just like the trees shedding their leaves to prepare for a season of rest, fall encourages us to release what's no longer necessary and make space for something new.Fall is about change, and it reminds us that change is a constant part of life. It's a time to reflect on our goals and the path we're on. It's a chance to embrace the idea that every ending is also a fresh start.So, as the days get shorter and the air gets crisper, let's welcome fall's fresh start with open arms. Whether it's school, personal goals, or simply a new perspective, fall is the perfect time to embrace new beginnings.

#i see a lot of people compare him to a fox & although i see where you’re coming from i do not agree and never will.#you call him a fox because; what; he’s orange? he is ‘unpredictable’ and mischievous and playful?#are gundogs also not playful or mischievous? you’re forgetting how high energy they are.#they’re great with kids; they’re high energy; they accompany hunters; their loyalty is hard to even hold a candle to.#you look at a man whose life is built on pledges & you deny seeing the reflection of a hound dropping game at the feet of his hunter?#sharp canines that rip to sate what nature intended; yes; but also because it’s commanded of it.#because it exists; canines and claws and all; to serve.#oh & also i have such a soft spot for dogboys I’m so sorry.#i love a man with selfless & egoless devotion & desperation. bring your undiagnosed bpd having self here #one day i Will write a detailed post on how dogcoded he really is & it WILL go in the main tags.#⚖️#🫀🐚

neurotic pixie nightmare girl

#mindy firefly #ocs #today i found out mindy is short for melinda which means honeybee. which is really funny bc she originally Was supposed to be honeybee #and not firefly #ooh wait . waiiiit #maybe that was her family name before she left #and she decided she didn't want to be sweet and slow like honey she wanted to be unrestrained and dangerous like fire So she changed it #which is funny because her appearance does not reflect that. she is always very kempt her hair is perfectly smoothed back #her glasses are never crooked #her 'home' is spotless .#deceptive appearance ....#invisible fire is a thing isnt it under certain conditions #i can find a way 2 make that relate to her #fire has always been significant 2 her character #there's a comic i want to draw about it #where she sets a moldy couch on fire #lol #on fire like a candle 1 push is all it takes
