merlin’s secret being a visual thing. when he is around arthur or gwen or leon or morgana or [insert whatever character here] merlin seems pale and thin, almost like a ghost or an apparition. when the sun lands on him he reflects it like a corpse, he eyes seem dark and dull. he has this ethereal beauty to him, this otherworldly visage that leads many to believe he is of fae blood. he just doesn’t seem to be 100% human. but when he is ONLY with lancelot or gaius (cough or gwaine bc gwaine DEFINITELY knew) merlin is heartachingly human. merlin shines in the sunlight, colors are brighter and more vibrant around him, and his smiles are wide and his laughs are boisterous. he takes on color and leaves everyone wanting to know him. but when other join in or interact with the two, merlin shifts before their eyes so quickly and suddenly that they aren’t sure whether or not what they saw was a trick of the light. the idea still leaves them wanting more and wanting to see the merlin who is just so full of life but that merlin only appears for a small select group of people. merlin who has a guard so high that it has an effect of other’s perception of him.

#arthur is absolutely steaming about this btw #he so desparately wants to be in the golden bubble around merlin in those moments #but his mere presence seems to pop it #hes fuming #its not until after the magic ban is repealed that everyone gets to see the glowing golden merlin #and they finally realize what the trick of the light was #merlin who is magic incarnate who (no matter how hard he tries) cannot fully repress what makes him him #arthur who finally gets to be in the golden bubble and its so much better than he ever couldve imagined #merlins magic is finally able to roam free the way it only could with a few people #merlins magic who absolutely adores arthur and is constantly reaching out for him even if him and merlin arent in the same vicinity #lmao arthur bringing up how merlins magic likes to card thru his hair and ease any sore muscles he may have #and lancelot and gwaine going ‘wtf? what about my muscles and hair?? merlin hates me?? merlin is playing favorites???? jail.’ #bbc merlin #merlin emrys #arthur pendragon #merthur #subtle magic my beloved #visibly Strange merlin my dear #idk i was thinking about pre-magic reveal!arthur watching merlin and lancelot talking and then pouting and going #‘why doesnt he smile and look at me like that? :(‘ #and then post-magic reveal!arthur having a moment of realization and going #like ‘oh hes hiding a huge part of what makes him him. i only know half of my best friend.’ #and then setting out to know ALL of him bc arthur and merlin are soulmates and in love and two sides of the same coin and best friends and- #im going thru my drafts and finding so many banger posts #idk why i never posted them LMAOO

Playing BG3 honestly makes me nostalgic for DA2. It’s the thing about being a little group of funky queer people, doing little quests and stealing anything that isn’t hammered down.

#iz rambles #Bg3 #da2 #if we put everyone in a room together the bisexuality would be off the charts #Lae and Fenris would be comparing big swords and she’d be hella impressed by the ghost trick #Merrill and Gale are having a convo about blood magic and Merrill is thrilled to find someone willing to hear her out #isobel and Astarion are flirting with 0 intent of following through while playing cards #Karlach is wasted and has varric also wasted on her shoulders #Wyll is retailing aveline with his misadventures because Karlach stole varric #and anders and Shadowheart are this close to killing each other in a convo about organized religion

if there's one thing i'm good at, it's making the same joke multiple times

#succ speaks #valentines #valentine cards #kirby #milgram #magolor #kazui mukuhara #this joke made me realize that magolor and kazui are weirdly similar despite being incredibly different characters #known for lying. continuous apple motif as a 'forbidden fruit' symbol. primary color is blue. #didn't actually murder anyone but came close enough that they're currently repenting for it. #likes amusement parks. official content explicitly refers to them as cat-like. performs magic tricks of some kind onscreen. #now all we need is for kazui to sail a big ass boat and for magolor to come out as gay

Notes on Magic and Good Omens

Note: Do Not Show Fan Theories To Neil

This whole post started was inspired by the post I've linked here which names each card trick performed in Season One. If you haven't seen it before, please check it out as it's what the rest of this post is based on:

I was interested in digging into these card tricks more and it led me down a small rabbit hole. To start, here's a little more information on two of the tricks featured above.

Three Card Monte (via Wikipedia)

"Also known as find the lady and three-card trick – is a confidence game in which the victims, or "marks", are tricked into betting a sum of money, on the assumption that they can find the "money card" among three face-down playing cards. It is very similar to the shell game except that cards are used instead of shells." (Note: this reminds me very much of Aziraphale's three cowrie shells).

"When the mark arrives at the three-card monte game, it is likely that a number of other players will be seen winning and losing money at the game. The people engaged in playing the game are often shills, confederates of the dealer who pretend to play so as to give the illusion of a straight gambling game. As the mark watches the game, they are likely to notice that they can follow the queen more easily than the shills seem to be able to, which sets them up to believe that they can win the game."

George Joseph Muck

The George Joseph Muck, also known as Hand Mucking, refers to switching cards in play. George Joseph was the author of a popular book on slight of hand and card palming. Here we see a a King of Hearts switched for an image of the Beast (similar to the one we see later on the wall of Anathema's cottage).

Strange Coincidences or Happy Accident?

Here's where my little rabbit-hole sidetrack happened. On the Wikipedia page for sleight of hand, David Copperfield is named as being particularly skilled in this area. I was interested in why he picked that name - apparently he just liked the sound of it! But what I didn't know is that one of his famous tricks was making the Statue of Liberty disappear (which just so happens to be a big theme in Nina's Cafe). Just to add to the Good-Omens related oddness, did you know that he was in a movie called 7 Days in Hell which also features Michael Sheen? News to me.

A Dash of Creative Thinking...

Back to our card tricks, I just want to speculate a little on the amount of tricks being played here during the baby switch in S1.

We're lead to believe that we know where all the babies have ended up by the end. If that's the case, then where is the magic? In the Three Card Monte, the idea is to fool the mark. So if the magician does his job right, should we have been fooled? Yes, the parents in the show were fooled, but they aren't the ones being shown the card trick - the audience is.

Is there some reveal on the horizon to do with the baby switch? I haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere, so I thought it might be interesting to float the idea. If Neil was going to expand on the original Good Omens book, this could be an interesting direction to take it in.

the thing about magic that you don't realise until you start learning it is that it's 90% about the performance. anyone can learn how the tricks are done and practise them until they look natural - but if you can't pad it out with all the distractions and patter and misdirection stuff then nobody's going to fall for it, which is a shame given that stage magic is at its core a deeply autistic hobby

#i was in a magic society for a year and i sucked ass at it #failed the deception/sleight of hand checks every time due to my dyspraxia debuff and chronically low rizz #i can still do a few card/coin tricks but it tends to be embarrassing for everyone involved

Sketched up some propaganda art for my friend @olliethescribe ‘s entry to @tmntausummit ‘s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle AU competition! Go vote for Only Brooches, there’s a little time left!

“No Crime Only Brooches” is an au starring Warren and Hypno (Ron) where they find cloaking brooches and each other early on and don’t become villains. They end up becoming queer uncles to the turtles; and Ron becomes a mentor to Leo :)

#vote for only brooches!! #tmntausummit 2.0 #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt au #no crime only brooches au #sofia’s art #rottmnt #rise hypno #hypno potamus #mezmer ron #rise leo #leo loves magic #if hypno weren’t a villain they would get along so well together #love you Ollie and your beautiful stories #hope you are doing well and have a wonderful day #I wonder if having three fingers makes card tricks more difficult #I would like to draw more of hypno’s rabbits

🎃 👻Happy Halloween! 🎃👻

Kaneki’s Group Halloween Headcanon Time

☆ Everyone in the group is invited for Trick or Treating! Except maybe Shuu, but he inserts himself anyway and nobody tells him to leave

☆ Kaneki’s favourite part is seeing how many ghouls give candy to the human kids, and then real eyes and fingers to the ghoul children while trick or treating. At first he felt bad about “intruding” on a human event until he realized it was a perfect holiday for ghouls

☆ The gas masks are all about trading after trick or treating. By the end, Jiro has enough eyeballs for a biblically accurate angel, Ichimi can make his section of the room ghost-themed and Sante could replicate their boss’s torture bucket

☆ Banjou likes giving “tricks” to kids while trick or treating. Every time they walk past a large group of children together, he’ll try doing some card tricks for them that he spent a few hours practicing with Kaneki. Some kids love it, some think he’s scary, one kid started mocking him for being 25 and fumbling with cards on the street and it really hurt his feelings

☆ Shuu loves the costuming aspect of it! Every year as a child he always had the most extravagant costume, and as an adult he is no different. He spends time tailoring outfits for himself and specifically Kaneki and Hinami. This year, he dresses himself as a vampire (always one of his favorites) and Hina and Kaneki as an angel and demon. THEY LOOK VERY PRETTY.

☆ After trick or treating, Hinami asks Shuu what to do with the candy. He decides to show her some cool recipes, like flowers made from melted hard candy and mousse with a chocolate swirl lid. They decide to donate the treats to Anteiku and Hinami learns to make some cool art with her candy!

#Kaneki learned some of the card tricks from Hide btw #when they did their play as a kid Hide wanted to learn some tricks since he was the witch’s assistant I think? #and he practiced them with Kaneki #so now he passes what he remembers into Banjou! #later Banjou tries to learn some more tricks while Kaneki is away and asks Hinami to help him read the instructions #he gets pretty good at them and they joke about him summoning Touka out of a hat with his magic #tokyo ghoul #my art #tokyo ghoul headcanons #kaneki ken #tsukiyama shuu #hinami fueguchi #banjou kazuichi

[INKTOBER '22 - DAY 20 - Bluff] "Magic is a fickle field. Manipulating currents in the web of possibilities is the most complicated thing. Spells have a high failure rate. Therefore, as a magician, it is best to be good at bluffing."

Let yourself be enchanted, pick a card, find her phone number on it. ❤️
