adding on to the idea that dal's room at buck's would become an urban legend, I think the same would happen for the park where bob was killed at. the swings go crazy every night just after 2 am......the fountain water supposedly turns to blood every year on the anniversary of bob's death.....parents tell their children to be home for curfew or else an old greaser ghost will get you...
#my paranoid crazy ass most definitely would do this shit#do you guys have any urban legends about your town? the high school here has an underground bunker that kids in the 70s would go down to#and do 'santanic rituals' which sounds like some satanic panic shit but it was real!#there was a book made about it....and then another book made about it...#one kid killed himself and his house burned down but a pic of him survived the fire#his friend was on Main Street and got hit in the head by a car and then another had the same thing happen in Vegas#they all had something happen to the left side of their face. like homeboy shot himself on the left side and they all got hit on the left#his grave at my city cemetery is destroyed :( which is so sad but so fucking creepy#so I'm terrified about this my whole life right? like I can't sleep bc he's gonna get me and then i read the book when I'm 19 and it was#the most edgelord ass shit I have ever read. shit pissed me off cuz everyone in town says how terrifying it is but it wasn't at all#anyway if you have read this far and want the book name it is written by the same author who wrote go ask Alice#the outsiders#the outsiders 1983#dallas winston#johnny cade#bob sheldon#ponyboy curtis#i just be saying shit#the outsiders headcanons#my headcanons#I guess another legend is how this kid got whacked by his mom in the 80s with a hammer and died but that was very much real and tragic#I just say it's a legend cuz I grew up near the house and had to walk past it every day from school!#my mom was across the street when it happened and she saw the body bag and then my aunt asked my grandparents if they were going to kill#her and her sisters! okay wait fjdjdjdj the mom also had a hit list which was full of people in the ward (church..Mormons live here)#I love that fact tbh like it's so fucking tragic but the fact she had beef with church people and wanted them dead.....Yeah

Love that my little cousin (little...shes turning 16 next year.... HA..) grew up in my hometown but no one "corrected" her accent and she speaks so comfortably sounding like our home 🥺 My earliest memories were getting chided for sounding too country but it was so confusing to be born into southern culture and then reprimanded for acting or sounding like it. :/
Idk, I have two accents as an adult: a work accent (no dialect, very bland) and a family accent (appalachian, baby!!! Woohoo!!!!). When I come back from visiting home, I bring the appalachian with me and it shocks a lot of people who only know my work voice.
IDK!! I know it was good intentioned to split my dialect at a young age so people wouldn't prejudge my intelligence, but after taking college placement exams 6 years before my peers, finishing all college english course before graduating high school, student teaching art to the high school and the middle school across the street my senior year, tutoring trigonometry and advanced honors chemistry, enrolling in the honors college on a full academic merit scholarship....GOD how much do you have to do before you're allowed to sound like your home without people assuming you're an idiot

Rarepair fave is def Merdred, those mfs had Vibes™ that were just.... Something else. Like, they needed to be locked in a room so they could either talk it out, fight it out, or fuck it out. Something. Anything. Because I really think if not for that goddamn prophecy, Merlin would like Mordred! A lot! Another sorcerer that's actually on his side, actively helping him! Tbh, I think he liked him in canon, even though he didn't want to, which just adds to the Angst of them.
Fave scenes of them are in "With All My Heart" when Mordred says he hopes he and Merlin can be friends and you can just see Merlin internally screaming at a volume to break glass, and in "The Drawing of the Dark" when Mordred asks why Merlin always thinks the worst of him, and again, you can see that moment of Merlin just being weighted by what he knows and being unable to say it.
And for a fic rec: https://archiveofourown.org/works/25627360 (it is smut, but there are also feels, and it's Mordred POV)
FINALLY! THANK YOU!
I really think if not for that goddamn prophecy, Merlin would like Mordred! A lot!
He did like him! He said it himself!
GAIUS: If Mordred wished Arthur ill, he has had ample opportunity to do so. He's a likeable boy, Merlin. MERLIN: I know. I like him myself, but I can't ignore what I saw. — From The Disir, Ep 5x05
That's what makes it tragic, they could get on, they could be friends, they actually have much in common — but Merlin can't afford to get close to Mordred because of what he knows/thinks Mordred's going to do.
Here's my thoughts about this ship:
Arguments in favour:
• ENEMIES TO LOVERS
• the delicate balance of power: Alex and Colin go on quite a bit about Mordred and Merlin's relationship in the commentary to ep 5x02. Mordred technically outranks Merlin, given he's a knight and Merlin is just a servant, but also Merlin is Emrys and, as a Druid, Mordred is aware (and likely in awe) of his role and power. And they are both the unwilling keeper of the other's secret, as they both have to hide their magic in Camelot. It makes for an interesting dynamic.
• Like I said, it's tragic that Merlin had to keep Mordred at arm's length (emotionally) because they had some common ground: they both loved Arthur — I mean they both cared about him, and they both had faith in him. Mordred believed that Arthur would bring about a golden age just as much as Merlin did! They both yearned for peace, and they both had to stain their hands with blood to survive. They both had to go through so much trauma.
KARA: You're a knight. MORDRED: That doesn't matter. KARA: Of Camelot. Why, Mordred? MORDRED: Arthur is a good man. KARA: I can't believe you'd say that. MORDRED: You don't know him. — From The Drawing of the Dark, Ep 5x11
• As with Sefa, I think Merlin could benefit from having a Druid partner.
• Merlin glaring at Mordred is pretty hot. He also gets slammed into a wall by him which, again. Pretty hot.
• They could literally mind-fuck each oth— [gunshot sound]
Fave scenes of them are in "With All My Heart" when Mordred says he hopes he and Merlin can be friends and you can just see Merlin internally screaming at a volume to break glass, and in "The Drawing of the Dark" when Mordred asks why Merlin always thinks the worst of him, and again, you can see that moment of Merlin just being weighted by what he knows and being unable to say it.
Both great scenes! I love all the scenes they have together, I think. The way Mordred always looks and sounds vaguely menacing without doing or saying anything outright evil. They way he is desperate for Merlin's approval :(
My favourite Merlin & Mordred scene has to be the one from episode 5x05 (The Disir).
Tumblr media
MERLIN: It won't always be like this. One day we will live in freedom again. MORDRED: You really believe that? MERLIN: I do. Beat. They both look down at the grave. MORDRED: Until then, we go unmarked in death as in life. — From The Disir, Ep 5x05
It's a rare moment of bonding between them. Mordred appeals to their shared nature ("he was one of us") and, for once, Merlin puts down his defences. He offers Mordred a few words of comfort ("It won't always be like this"). And then Mordred hits him with that fucking PROFOUND line and Merlin doesn't know what to do with it.
Tumblr media
This is not the horrible future-murderer he's made Mordred up to be in his head. This is a boy with hope in his eyes and kindness in his heart (still). It speaks so much of what they could have been if destiny hadn't got in the way. (I've also gone on about Merlin's complicated relationship with other magic folks in another post. Yes, I have many feelings about it).
I love that scene from ep 5x11, too, ("Everything I do, you think the worst") — probably my second favourite scene with these two.
It starts out with Merlin being so confrontational and aggressive, but it ends with Merlin deciding to trust Mordred, for once. Perhaps reluctantly, but he does.
It's tragic that he seems to open up to Mordred when it's too late. I've touched on before on why I think it is that it happens at this moment. Merlin has literally been in Mordred's position. In fact, some of the dialogue in this scene echoes Merlin and Gaius's confrontation in ep 2x09, when Merlin was ready to run away with Freya.
If that wasn't clear enough, we also have Mordred asking Merlin directly:
Tell me you wouldn't do the same for the woman you love.
But of course Merlin would. He has. Well, he's tried to.
But again, because of what he knows about Mordred, Merlin can't let Mordred escape, even though he gets what he's trying to do, and doesn't blame him for trying.
I also like when Mordred angrily confronts Merlin later in the same episode. His outburst shows how he is well aware of how unfairly Merlin has been treating him, and although he's been remarkably chill about it up until now, it doesn't mean he's not angry and resentful about it. He may not show his emotions much, but he's not unfeeling.
"You did it because you hate me", he says, and "This time you've gone too far!"
THIS IS A MAN WHO'S HAD ENOUGH. It's also a reminder of how much Mordred has been putting up with — for all he knows, Merlin hates him for no good reason. I think it says something about Mordred's nature that he only truly snaps when Merlin's meddling threatens the person he loves. MY STABBY CHILD IS FULL OF LOVE OKAY
I just think they have such an interesting dynamic!
I can see why they wouldn't be a super popular pairing, given Merlin's attitude to Mordred in the show and what Mordred ends up doing. And also the age gap, I guess (I personally don't find it too weird because the actors are so clearly close in age that it can be easily brushed off, but I can see why other people might find it off-putting).
Fanfics
THANK YOU for the fic rec anon, I've skim-read it and it looks very much up my alley ♡
I actually haven't gone looking for many Merlin/Mordred fics. I've a read a few ages ago, most of them just short ficlets, but I only have one bookmarked. It's the fic that put Merlin/Mordred on my radar:
Set in Stone by EachPeachPearPlum (on AO3).
It's a relatively long fic (almost 50k words), so there is space to explore Merlin and Mordred's relationship.
I actually read it before watching the show properly (I basically watched a bunch on scenes from the show and dipped my toes in fanfiction before deciding to watch all of the series).
I haven't re-read it since, and I don't even remember how it ultimately deals with the whole prophecy thing, if it even gets to that point (I think the author meant for this to be part of a series but they didn't continue, although this story is complete). But the prophecy was addressed, with what I thought was an interesting twist.
(I won't say anything too spoiler-y in case anyone wants to check it out, but Mordred is actually aware of the prophecy and he even knows an extra bit about Merlin which Merlin himself doesn't know about. It's revealed pretty early in the story, so it's not really a spoiler).
It touches on some aspects of Merlin and Mordred's relationship that I find fascinating, so I think it's worth a read if you're interested in this pair.
Random lil' excerpt:
"I am not a child, Emrys," Mordred hisses, leaning in close; Merlin suspects he's going for menacing, but all it really comes off as is petulant, which sort of proves his point. "I was the last time you tried to kill me, but not now." And then there are words in Merlin's head, words he is powerless to stop, filled with a rage that is everything and nothing all at once. Keep your reasons to yourself, Emrys, but do not try to placate me with what we both know are lies. Mordred stands then, the expression on his face one of youthful rage, burning bright and burning quickly, and Merlin wishes he was right. If Mordred wasn't so young, Merlin could kill him without hesitation, could dream about him without hating himself (or without hating himself quite so much, since the fact that Mordred is destined to destroy everything Merlin is destined to protect is at least as much of a concern as Mordred's age). This could all be over and done with, one way or another. "Get out of here, Mordred," Merlin snarls. "You live because I let you, and you live for as long as I let you. Do not tempt me."
I JUST THINK IT'S HOT WHEN HE THREATENS TO MURDER PEOPLE OKAY
I'm just going to bring this post back to your attention. There are dozens of us! (people who find mean Merlin sexy). DOZENS
As a final note — my Italian brain refuses to call this ship Merdred. There's got to be a better name for it 😭

sorry for being insane but i miss gerards weird little teeth
her fucked up little teeth </3 honestly it’s weird to me that people think he got veneers because he very obviously didn’t, i’m pretty sure (and this sounds weird but i only noticed cause i had to get the same) they just got something done to their gumline which makes their teeth look…..bigger? longer i guess?? sometimes it’s for aesthetics but a lot of the time it’s for health and dental access, and considering they’ve had a pretty bad history with tooth pain it makes sense they got it fixed!!

Queerness and neurodivergency and other ways of being different from the "average" person - inborn ways - are so....applicable. To horror movies.
You see a character succumb to what they've been fighting against - something within themselves, who and what they are - and they just...they let go. They stop fighting. They become whatever they've always been.
Based on narrative, such a letting go is either negative or positive...in some cases, it's both.
This is repeated through countless horror movies. Countless horror media.... It's the personal context that comes from the life of whoever is watching, that is what makes this stuff click. If you do not have a "different" life, you may be able to see the connections but you will not understand to the fullest - because you do not live with that extremely personal battle within yourself.

People who are against abortion are so funny to me because they'll say stuff like "abortion is killing a person." My brother in christ as a female trans person I can assure you that if you don't legalise abortion there will be two people dead and not one 💀

Ok now that I’ve seen the Sumeru trailer and can actually judge the new content properly (cough, judging too early from leaks is never a good idea, cough), it seems like having a child model for Kusanali is kind of necessary and enhances the narrative, if I’m right about this. Obviously the skin color is probably still an issue (I don’t really want to speak over the actual people who are supposed to be represented but that seems like the general consensus), but her being a child is not.
Unlike the other archons, the people of Sumeru seem to treat Kusanali as a mascot or a funny little girl instead of a revered god. Stuff like making sure “the birthday girl” is happy shows how they respect her, but not in the way that the other nations respect their archon. I mean I can’t really see the people of Inazuma celebrating Ei’s birthday and calling her “the special birthday girl”, right? 
The sages too, it’s really clear that they see her as incapable of ruling and have ruled the nation for the past 500 years instead of letting her grow into the position. The whole point is that Kusanali is seen as an incapable replacement for the former Dendro Archon, even if she is 500 years old. Because with how things seem, she’s probably been locked up in the palace they mentioned in the livestream instead of being allowed to make her own decisions. So yeah, she might as well still be a little kid.
Anyways, how does this relate to her design? I’ve seen some people say they could’ve just given her the teen girl model, but like, that defeats the whole point. We’ve seen that model used for many capable characters, from teenagers (Fischl, Barbara) to adults (Keqing, Ganyu, Hu Tao, Kuki Shinobu, Ayaka). Especially with the nebulous ages of Genshin characters, if you see a teenage girl model character, the usual assumption is that they’re probably an older teenager or a young adult who’s pretty capable of doing stuff. 
The point is, seeing the nation treat this very capable looking teenager/young adult like a child would be kind of weird. It would’ve been fine, I guess, but it doesn’t have the impact of “oh that god is a kid why is she a god” as much as using the child model would bring. With the child model, it’s understandable why the sages might think she’s incompetent. I mean, even the entire Genshin fandom pretty much agreed the moment she was leaked that she wasn’t suited to be the archon cuz she had a kid model. “How can a kid be an Archon?” “Why is she a literal baby?” “Why does she have a less impressive design than the other Archons?” yeah that’s the point. She’s supposed to look odd and incapable and unfitting of an archon cuz that’s what everyone thinks of her.
Also, to the argument that using the child model is loli-baiting, it really isn’t. There is an actual point to using it in the narrative instead of just appealing to messed up people. I get that you usually want to assume the worst in gacha games, but honestly, if Mihoyo wanted to make more money, they could literally just make her a hot woman with huge boobs or like a super hot tall guy instead of appealing to the weirdos and would probably earn more profit than making her a kid anyways. Just look at Raiden’s banner.
(Personally, I think some people are just mad they can’t sexualize or simp for another archon. Like, there’s a reason why a whole horde of people wanted Al-Haitham, the conventionally attractive tall-male-model character, to turn out to be the actual Dendro Archon for some reason instead of literally anyone else. But whatever that’s just my own theory.)

every time i see the "kids and teens should actually get to interact with decent adults" post i just feel unimaginably depressed because people are talking about how these adults helped them at their worst points. meanwhile the ones i knew convinced me my ocd was my actual thoughts and continually exposed me to horrific things and gaslit me constantly
