Fun fact: when I commissioned this art from @heph,

I couldn't describe exactly what I envisioned, so I gave them this doodle to help

I am many things, but a visual artist is not one of them.

You know that moodboard you reblogged of Merlin and Morgana not being able to sleep? You know what occurred to me?

I'm thinking of season 3. These two with their love/hate thing and UST going on and their fights about evil plans, and you know... What if in one of those heating discussions, Morgana accidentally blurts out that she felt something and a lot of things for Merlin before the poisoning fiasco and then Merlin admitting the same.

And like both are in their minds... 😳 Oh, crap, what did I just said? So, both flee from each other, because this isn't good at all and neither can now sleep because of the whole situation. 😂😂

..... ok meta time

I think morgana has been honest enough even in s3 though (heck through s4-s5). Merlin is the more guarded one.

Based on Colin Morgan’s interpretation in many interviews, Merlin was the one who was self-aware enough that he loved her and deeply cared for her at some point. The show confirms that sort of acting decision coz he’s also always revealing his true feelings for her in front of kilgharrah and gaius. (plus the other character/actors have talked about it)

Meanwhile Katie Mcgrath doesn’t characterize Morgana in that way: that Morgana was self-aware enough that she loved him. I am of the opinion that Morgana was still on her way to falling in love with him when Fires of IDirsholas happened. All we know is that she deeply feels for him to the point where even Morgause didn't seem to know the whole depth of her feelings. KM insists that Morgana only wanted Merlin’s honesty and trust. We can see it In the show. Morgana had always told Merlin what she felt about him.

So if there was one who should admit their feelings then it should be Merlin.

Morgana already laid out everything she felt for him from S1-S3: “you are the actual hero here!” “I am your friend” "i don't feel so alone here," "i trust merlin” "you’re a good friend” “i have magic, merlin” “I now know what i am”. “i am afraid merlin” “i get that you only wanted to protect your friends” “i am upset that i was poisoned and you hurt me” “why should i care about people who dont care about me?” “Uther hates me and everyone like me” “you dont know how it is be be an outsider” “i thought we were friends then why are you against me if you understand me like what you claimed” “how can you hope to understand” “i dont really get you.” “Make me understand, merlin” "you're just a pathetic lowly serving boy to me," "you're a thorn in my side," "you condemned me to live in this poor state."

Meanwhile merlin is always like "i care for her", "i trust her," "she should be told that magic can be a force for good and it can be a gift" "she has a good heart," "she’s my friend," "i know her," "i feel sad for her," "she’s undergoing a hard time," "i understand her most of all," "i shouldnt have trusted her," "i dont wanna be bitter, angry and so full of hate like her," "i will never be like her," "i thought we were the same”

---but he says these only To the dragon and Gaius.

See how they contrast? With regards to to his feelings for Morgana, Merlin is only honest to his bosses, meanwhile Morgana is honest of her feelings for Merlin towards Merlin himself.

Merlin and Morgana were never meeting/fighting on the same ground.

It's honestly heartbreaking, especially since Merlin never holds back on saying the same wonderful words of affirmation to Arthur, to Gwen, to the Knights, to Freya, to literally everybody else.. but he could never say them to Morgana's face.

btw saying only "i understand" and not much else sometimes isn't enough anymore.

....

I honestly do not know what else Morgana could say that will push Merlin to honesty. I think she might as well strip herself naked and he still wouldn't give in (and s4 showed us that he can and will use that kind of weakness against her. he already used her nightmares against her after all).

All I’m saying is that Morgana had always been so so so vulnerable and raw in front of him. Normally that would give an opening to the other person to let down their guard and rely on her. (see agravaine, helios, aithusa, mordred)

But Merlin never did that. He had so many chances to tell her the truth and be vulnerable himself but he never allowed himself that kind of right in front of her. We know that he desperately wanted to but he couldn't because had been repeatedly and ceaselessly warned/conditioned/brainwashed/manipulated that it was the worst idea, that going against his job orders will have consequences.

.....

But as they are in s3? where they are just free to pursue whatever goals they have independent of each other... with how radicalized and extremist they both already are? With how Merlin has already lost at least 4 loved ones for the sake of protecting camelot and destiny (sunken cost fallacy and all that)? nah. I can't see him being honest to anyone, especially enemies who have done and said things he morally detests, anymore.

Personally i think the only way for merlin to finally tell her his truth is to trap both them in some situation where they have to work together, or where morgana’s magic isnt enough , or where they both have no magic, or where the have joint responsibility of another life. THEY HAVE TO BE TRAPPED. TRAP THEM TOGETHER.

#bbc morgana #mergana #merlin x morgana #merlin critical #essays #this prompt is challenging #look i tried #but merlin has to have serious self introspection to admit that he was wrong #merlins not the type to fold when tortured #we've alraedy established that merlin would rather forget himself and die rather than live in freedom

Hello! Could I please request a Gramblack Assassin AU for the ask game? 🙏🏻

Okay my friend, I’m sorry for the super long wait for this! It’s finally done and I’m posting it, can you believe!!

This was a fun prompt, and i hope my trash writing has been worth the wait (it probably hasn’t, but let’s not think about it)

Tagging @chordassinationtechnique because Megan must always be subjected to my garbage writing!

(Also content warning: for blood and knives, but like nothing is in great detail don’t worry)

Stakeouts are boring.

Yeah, they look fun in the movies where everything is shiny and glossed over and the protagonist is only sitting for a handful of minutes before the bad guy inevitably trips up and the action begins. In reality though, it’s hours upon hours of sitting in the cold and being bored out of your mind because unfortunately even criminals are allowed some downtime.

The job he’d had been hired on was pretty run of the mill. A small- time low-life drug dealer trying to make a name for himself, attracting the wrong kind of attention from the bigger players on his patch, and like clockwork he’d had been called in to clear house.

Gram had set up, on the rooftop across from his marks top floor apartment, and from his vantage point he could easily see the man moving around the small space. When he’d first got into this job he thought he would have to bare witness to all the different and horrible ways that humans could be cruel and twisted. He’d expected these men to spend their free time skinning puppies or something else as equally fucked up, turns out, a surprising amount of criminals spend their free time watching Netflix.

So yeah, stakeouts are boring, and it’s this fact alone that had allowed Gram to let his guard drop.

The only warning he got, before his head was smashed viscously into the wall beside him was the faint smell of cigarettes.

There’s blood running over his eyebrow from where his head had collided with the wall, but that’s the least of his worries as he feels the other persons weight settle along his back, keeping him locked in place, and the unmistakable feeling of a knife edge being placed firmly along the side of his neck.

“I mean, I knew you were shit at your job, but this is just pathetic” a low voice mocks in his ear.

“Who the fuck are you” Gram responds in as threatening a tone as he can manage, but he imagines it cant have the effect he wants it to while the blood continues to stream down the side of his face.

“Looks like you aren’t as subtle as you think you are. Our buddy down there, clocked you following him home. First rule of tailing someone, asshole! Don’t get caught.” His attacker punctuates his point by pressing the blade more firmly against the skin of Gram’s neck.

Sensing little options, Gram decides it’s probably wise to keep his mouth shut for the time being.

Lightning fast, and before Gram can even fully get his bearings, the knife is pulled away from his neck and he’s spun around to face his attacker. He almost breathes a sigh of relief when the blade is pulled away from his skin but it fades quickly when he realises that the knife is now being pressed against the skin above the waistband of his jeans and a hand takes up place at his throat instead.

He hadn’t really known what he expected the other man to look like, but what he absolutely wasn’t prepared for was the way his throat ran dry at the sight of the other man. The universe has a funny sense of humour Gram thinks, of course the man currently threatening to kill him would be unbelievably good-looking.

“He wants you dead, you know”

Gram feeling a moment of bravery, or rather stupidity, decides to call the other man’s bluff.

“ If you wanted me dead though, I already would be” He says, locking eyes with the other man. “True” the other man concedes, with a slight tilt of his head towards him. “So why haven’t you?” Gram questions. His attacker makes a point of slowly dragging his gaze down the lines of Grams body, hand tightening ever so slightly on his throat as he does so, before resuming eye contact. “Maybe I don’t think you’re an entirely lost cause” he replies “ and why is that?” The man doesn’t answer right away, instead choosing to loosen his grip on Gram’s throat, leaning in closer to the skin below his ear. Goosebumps explode across gram’s skin as he feels the the tip of the knife being dragged softly over the skin above the waist band of his jeans before slowly being pulled up up under his t-shirt and dragged slowly over the skin of his abs. Gram is really going to have to have a word with himself later about the way his back arches ever so slightly into the movement of the knife across his body.

“Oh, I’m sure we can think of some way, you can prove me right” the other man breathes into the skin of his neck.

Gram feels the knife move away from his skin, and he knows he should use this opportunity to make a break for it, but he’s too entranced currently with the man in front of him to do anything other than stay exactly where he is.

They move closer together until there is only a hair width of space between their lips, before a smirk breaks out across the other man’s face and Gram feels the cold press of a knife at the base of his skull.

The other man moves away from him quickly after that, a lock of gram’s distinctive silver hair in his hand.

“What are you doing” Gram asks

“Saving your life, dumbass” the other man says making his way towards the roof exit.

“Wait, what about what just happened” Gram asks, head spinning at the sudden turn of events

“Don’t worry, I’m not done with you yet” the other man smirks, before disappearing through the door.

It takes Gram all of five seconds to follow after him.

#gramblack nation this one is for you #shh nobody look at this too deep okay #it’s just boys with knifes #who cares if they are very OOC #look i tried #that’s all that can be asked of me #gramblack #not me the series

what's the absolute wildest thing you have to do when switching between different games

for me, it's reminding myself that the Mahamatra of Sumeru in Genshin Impact are NOT pink salmon-like fish found during the Harvest Festival that can help grant a special buff if a big enough one is caught in Elnea Kingdom World Neverland.

but it is funny sometimes imagining Cyno, ultra scary scholar-fight-spiritposser-joketeller, as a fish.

So I'm leaving work and something darts in front of me, maybe 10ft away, too fast for me to see what it is. Peek around the tree blocking my path and I see this

Just like... a whole ass hawk. Dude's gotta be about 1.5ft tall. Massive fucking bird. And it's just staring me straight in my soul like this, even as I try to move ahead. It didn't budge. And there's only this path back to my car unless I want to walk on a busy highway. So I have the option of Death By Raptor or Death By Truck.

So I walk in the poison ivy filled patch off the sidewalk. Guy still isn't moving. Still staring me directly in the eyes. And I do this thing when animals are behaving strangely where I'll talk to them, so I'm just like, "Hey, man. I don't know you. You don't know me. This feels really threatening. I'm just trying to get to my car, dude. Can I get some space please? You're a big fucking bird. I see those claws. You could kill me right now, but I'd appreciate if you didn't, ok?"

It didn't move until I was about 2ft away. Again: I'm as far from it as I can be without walking into the street. It clearly wasn't going to budge. I walk past, thing flies up (silent, btw. Scary) and lands on a brick wall a little further ahead

Anyway. Weird guy. Nearly shit my pants when I noticed a bird big enough to carry off a fully grown cat was just... there, staring me in the face, unwilling to move away from me, a human, something it should see as a threat. I watched behind me the whole rest of the way to my car, just in case this bird decided to help me shed this mortal coil. 10/10 experience. Super cool guy.
