#now with BBC Merlin holy shit it hurts so much to see him slowly destroy himself

One thing about me is that if your media has a character who wears a neckerchief and continually without hesitation takes on the weight of the world and tries to do everything themselves so that no one else is in danger or has to suffer, I AM going to form a very strong attachment to them.

#Nancy Drew #Merlin #book!nancy 1970’s!nancy HERInteractive!Nancy and CW!Nancy are all extremely dear to me #book nancy also feels very strongly autistic coded to me #she’s very formal and has rules about how to interact with people #she hates when people try to get away with wronging other people #she can play a role really well but when there’s interpersonal stuff going on in the moment she’s very awkward or straight up ignores it #rip Ned lol #mystery solving is like the ultimate special interest #she gets to try to find the truth #she’s always masking around the people she’s investigating and it’s a lot easier to do when there’s a clear separation from like who you are #she gets in trouble a bunch for like not conforming behaviorally #and all her friends know she can’t even think about anything else when there’s a mystery and the love her for it #I love her so much #now with BBC Merlin holy shit it hurts so much to see him slowly destroy himself #he and Morgana have the most painful parallel arcs #anyway Merthur is so important to me and I see myself in both of them so much it’s wild #I generally cannot easily rewatch the show but it really is Colin and Angel and Bradley and Katie’s acting that brings so much life #definitely so grateful for them and also all fanfic writers ever. I love you all so much. thank youuuu
