Since when is Mrs. Mayberry is a lesbian?

Since When Is Mrs. Mayberry Is A Lesbian?

Like, don't get me wrong, I don't mind she is a lesbian

What I don't get is how she literally murder her husband and went to hell for it. That her whole story of she ended up in jail.

A lot of people tried to make up for this by saying she could've been like stolas. She was forced by social pressure into dating/marrying a man.

Here the thing, again, she literally her murder her husband after finding out he cheated on her. She was crying while doing that action.

Other people also tried to say it because of the efforts she put into the relationship and the marriage as a whole to act straight it was all for waste since it was thrown out by her husband cheating on her.

Which is a fine prediction, however there no scene where she appears in that make me go, "Wow she driven insane by her husband actions of cheating after she forced herself to play the part of good straight wife."

Also, why she in a relationship with the woman her husband cheated on her with?????

Didn't Martha also have a husband and kids? What in the world happened to them!??

I'm gonna be real. I'm all up for the wife x mistress trope, but truly, I don't believe Mrs. Mayberry and Martha are going to have a healthy relationship at all.

I just wished spindlehorse would take more care and effort in their character sexuallity rather than just reusing and slapping on a random sexuallity.

Hello Artist i wanted to ask about Giggle glow Au

Imagine a scene that Mei & Mk Decided it was a Good idea to watch a Horror Movie while everyone was a sleep well almost everyone like pigsy,tang and Sandy where a sleep

And Wukong and Mac where maybe Patrolling outside the ship.

While Mei and MK where watching the horror movie with headphones on in Meis Room. While finishing the movie MK acted like it wasn't Scary and hes all good and he when to hes room but couldn't fall asleep sense he was indeed scared. That idk but imagine he started Chirping Without Realizeing that he cuddle in a blanket like a ball. How would Wukong & Mac react when they hear Chirping a lil tiny bit distressed from mk

____

Sorry if this a lil long i hope for you to have a wonderful day or nigth artist/writer stay safe :3 im a bit of a fan of LMK Aus of people so ye XD

..tbh i do headcanon that MK likes scary movies, but i’m sure that if something genuinely freaked him out. it would REALLY freak him out.

i imagine he’d chirp on accident and then just. realize what he did and cover his mouth with his hand but its too late Macaque heard him.

which basically leads to Macaque and Wukong breaking down MK’s door and then, after figuring out the problem, just.

Wukong decides the best way to counteract MK being terrified is to watch a comedy film and if the others on the ship walked past MK’s door during this period of time they’d hear muffled laughter and see flickering light coming from underneath the door

I have a au idea.

Noodle Ninja Au

So essentially this au is built on the prospect that Kai from Ninjago look like Mk and Red Son from LMK. The idea is that years later, MK and Red Son get together (Spicynoodles) and have a child together (Who we'll call MS) Everyone is happy and stuff. Until the child reaches the age of two (human years). It is discovered that MS have both of his parents powers. How they find out? MS burns the house down by accident and another time accidentally make hair clones of himself. So naturally everyone starts freaking out. Then, Sun Wukong offers to temporarily lock some of MS's powers away, just until he reaches a certain age. Mk and The Red Son agree to this.

For a while everyone is happy. But qué some villain or something and MS is taken away to only Budda knows where. While everyone is freaking out, two people named Ray and Maya find a two year old on their door step in a separate realm called Ninjago. They decide to adopt this child seeing they can't find his parents. They rename him Kai. You can guess the rest.

Comic of BBC Merlin characters, centered around Merlin. Gaius's monologue is overlaid on the pages. Only the flowers are in color.
Gaius: Today is a day where we give flowers...
He gives Merlin a flower. The latter is confused but takes it.
Gaius: ...whether it be out of friendship...
Morgana and Guinevere give Merlin flowers while he carries laundry.
Gaius: ...in gratitude...
Merlin walks down the hall, having collected flowers from passing servants.
Gaius: ...appreciation...or even...
The knights surprise Merlin with a small bouquet each, Gwaine being the most enthusiastic. A close up of Merlin turning his head, showing an embarrassed smile and flowers all over his hair and neckerchief.
Merlin is shocked to see Arthur, who's holding a huge bouquet of roses for him. Gaius passes by and walks on with a smile.
Gaius: One day, I hope you see just how loved you are.
The men are both blushing profusely. Merlin points to himself to confirm the roses are for him while Arthur stands there.

flowers for you

Uther after seeing Gwen and Arthur kiss: Arthur what the actual fuck has gotten in you?! Arthur: Father I - Uther: How could you- I mean is this because of me? Is your sole aim to defy me??! Arthur: What no that's not the reason Uther: Oh so you just randomly decided to betray Merlin with Morgana's maid? Right after I told him I approve of your 'BOND'. I'm not a fool Arthur, I knew that boy was too good for you. He would have given his life for you! MULTIPLE TIMES! You BETRAYED him. When all he did was protect you, even gave you a sword - literally not metaphorically speaking. Arthur: Wha- Uther: you have no shame HE IS ADORABLE ARTHUR

Golden Age King Arthur accidentally gets sent back in time to the beginning of his reign. While making his way to Camelot hoping to find Merlin and figure out how to get back to his own time he runs into Agravaine making his own way to Camelot for the first time. Knowing he was a traitor working for Morgana in his own timeline, Arthur kills him and decides to take his place. No one had seen Agravaine since Ygraine's death, there were no portraits of him in the castle, and Arthur's premature greying hair has to be good for something other than Merlin calling him a silver fox. He can pass as his own uncle and be the caring advisor that young him deserved damn it!

Making Valentines merch of your ship that's mainly focused around abuse, S/A, and class/racial discrimination (where the lower-class, implied POC is seen as chained to his abuser) as a cop and prisoner (with the victim being the cop and the abuser being the prisoner) is...a choice...

Not necessarily a good one...

look i know i've talked about it before but it was more from the angle of analyzing how this plotline could have been about persephone legitimately overthrowing hades, and not from the angle of how this one scene completely undermines all of rachel's manufactured attempts to "create a dialogue" about sexual assault and consent

and i'm specifically referring to THIS SCENE.

honestly hades is a toxic piece of shit himself who deserves jail for life but like. the tonal whiplash of this comic often has me feeling torn between "persephone is a victim of grooming who became what she once despised" and "persephone was actually always a deeply insecure and manipulative person and that's why she and hades get along so well" 💀😭 regardless of whichever conclusion you come to, neither of them are exactly indicative of a writer who really understands consent or healthy relationships, because despite whichever scenario makes the most sense, rachel still tried (and in many ways, succeeded) to convince her audience of girls and women alike that these two are healthy couple goals and that her extremely limited 10th grade understanding of consent and sexual health was "helping people"

Look I Know I've Talked About It Before But It Was More From The Angle Of Analyzing How This Plotline

and yes this further cements persephone as rachel's self-insert

because while she's gone on record to say she's never been sexually assaulted, she has admitted in interviews and social media posts to being in similar situations where her autonomy was being invaded upon

including a literal REAL LIFE STALKING SITUATION

Look I Know I've Talked About It Before But It Was More From The Angle Of Analyzing How This Plotline

like. that is an incredibly shitty and horrifying situation to be in. and i wanna make it clear, i'm not trying to use this against her in any way. this is something she didn't deserve to go through and reversely, does deserve to move on from.

i bring it up though precisely because it's incredibly telling that she, as a writer who claims she wants to use her platform as a means to "help people", is not capable of actually practicing what she preaches, and thus her characters aren't capable of doing that either. she's still exhibiting and glorifying behaviors and traits that align with the people who have harmed her, because HADES LITERALLY FUCKING STALKS PERSEPHONE AND IT'S PLAYED UP FOR COMEDY-

Morgana curses Arthur to become an animal (vermin to be precise).

He is now a mouse, small, universally disgusted, and easily killable by animals and other humans. Arthur had to navigate back from Morganas hut in the forest and find his way back to his castle and to Gaius.

He knows he could be eaten by a cat or an owl, be killed by the servants who spot him in the corridors, or get lost in the now very big Camelot. It takes him a whole two days to make his way back to the citadel

Morganas plan was genius one. He was invisible and helpless. He could be killed and no one would know or realise that they had killed their king while chasing a little forest mouse.

His journey takes him inside the castle, and while he’s roaming the corridors as a small mouse when he spots Merlin.

Merlin!

As he runs up to Merlin the idiot lights up. “Hello little one :D”

He bends down and scoops Arthur up into his (surprisingly large hands).

“Oh aren’t you just a sweet little thing? Don’t worry, I won’t tell cook I found you down here. You can stay in my pocket while I tidy the kings chambers”

Arthur knew that his friend had a soft spot for all animals, but really this was taking it a step too far. Allowing some random mouse he found crawling around the floor to accompany him into The Kings Private Chambers? Just so he could have some company while he tidies? What a dollophead.

Although…in this specific scenario…he supposed he could make an exception. Just this once. And as soon as he transforms back into his human self he will be having words with his servant about this absolutely ridiculous behaviour.

But for now Arhrur is safe in his silly manservant’s pocket. Silly, lovable Merlin, who just picked up a little mouse and decided to take it with him for the day because he was bored.

He stays curled up in Merlin’s neckerchief

(And he’s so totally normal about being this close to Merlin’s strong neck and chest. If he wasn’t cursed as a mouse he would be so normal about this)

It’s much later in the evening, while him and Merlin eat off of the Kings dinner plate (again, he will be having words about this), when the warning bell sounds.

The King is Missing!

Merlin is on bed rest and unavailable to work so George has to step in for a few weeks

“George, where are my socks?”

“They’re in the sockdrawer sire, next to your smallclothes — here, i’ll grab them for you”

“But why are they there??”

“Because…that’s where the socks belong?”

“But Merlin always kept my socks in the basket next to the wardrobe”

“Why would he do that? that makes no sense?”

“Huh…no idea… but I prefer it that way, so dump the socks into the basket and leave the drawer empty”

🧺🧺🧺🧺🧺🧺

“Your breakfast is on the table sire, i’ve pressed your formal robe so it’s ready for petitions in the afternoon, and your ceremonial circlet is polished for you”

“Why are you standing over there? aren’t you gonna drag me out of the bed feet first?”

“Your majesty!? why on earth would I do such a thing?!”

“It’s just…that’s usually how merlin wakes me up — nevermind, hand me that apple”

🍏🍏🍏🍏🍏🍏

“I’ve packed your saddlebags for the hunting trip, my lord”

“Good, It’s going to be a great day for fishing”

“Fishing sire? I’m afraid I haven’t packed anything for a fishing trip, forgive me sire, I had no idea your plans had changed”

“Oh right, you wouldn’t know. Merlin hates hunting, so we always fish, but we still call it a hunting trip so that others won’t ask any questions”

“I see, sire (he didn’t) but are you still going fishing now that Merlin is on bedrest and unable to join?”

“Ah…I hadn’t thought of that. Perhaps you would join me?”

“I …thank you sire, but my chores…”

“Of course, you’re right. I’ll ask Sir Percival if he will join me instead”

🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟

“My lord, might I help you with — that?”

“Ah no thanks George, I’ve got it”

“Right of course sire. Might I ask, no forgive me, its not my place to question his majesty”

“No no, go ahead, just ask”

“What…or I guess, why are you…dusting under the bed?”

“Merlin gets terribly sneezy when it’s dusty, so I always make sure it doesn’t get too dusty in here, otherwise I’ll never hear the end of it, ahaha”

“But why isn’t Merlin, your manservant, dusting under the bed himself?”

“Oh he hates dusting”

HOW OLD IS FUCKING GIAUS?!!!

We know he's older than 50. In 3X9 Alice gave him a book for his 50th birthday and that was before she left before the purge.

The purge happened 20 years ago when Arthur was born. That makes him 70ish.

At this point it has been 4 years-ish because of the year uther had the knights looking for Morgana, after Merlin poisoned Morgana and morgouse took her.

So now he is 74-ish.

Then the 3 year gap between season 4 and 5. Now he is like 77-ish.

THIS MOTHER FUCKER IS ALMOST 80 YEARS OLD! HOW IS HE STILL ALIVE!

First I wanted to say hello and tell you that I love your works. They really have me on the edge of my seat every time I read them.

Second. Can you imagine that Merlin, in some new alternative universe, for some reason, upon arriving in Camelot, arrives with a baby? It's all still a Merthur ending, it should be noted.

Like, we know that Merlin was already a bit of an outcast in the village for the reason that nobody knew who his father was and even more so because strange things were always happening around him.

The situation gets much worse when he finds a crying baby in the middle of a burnt tent near the village.

Will and his mother try to help him for a while, but with the visits of the evildoers to the village becoming more and more frequent, Merlin and the baby have no choice but to go to Camelot.

And so the adventures begin!

Only now Arthur wonders if they can make crowns for babies, because he is willing to marry Merlin and legally adopt the baby as his own.

And Morgana… well, she and Gwen enjoy dressing up the baby in all the clothes from her old dolls. Not to mention that she notices that by taking naps with the baby she no longer has nightmares.

The knights become, in some way or another, glorified nannies. The servants and maids must chase after a baby who never stops causing mischief in the castle.

And Merlin just wants to survive colic season and potty train his baby… and everything would be easier if there weren't a murderer or a resentful wizard trying to kill Arthur every 3 minutes.

First, thank you so much for the compliments! 🥹🤧❤️

About the concept. I love it! I don't think going to Camelot to live would be Merlin or Hunith's first option for a baby that can't control their magic at all. So I firmly believe Hunith would send Merlin with the baby there so Gaius can take them to a druid camp so they could take refuge there.

The problem is, before Gaius can do so, Merlin is made the prince's personal manservant. Merlin can't exactly deny the king and he does need the money to take care of his baby so he decides to stay to Gaius dismay. Gaius and Merlin try to keep the baby hided at first so they take turns taking care of her (in my mind is a her) in Gaius' tower in secret. It works out for some weeks but then the plague (Nimueh's Afanc) happens and Arthur searches Gaius' tower.

Arthur: (enters Merlin's room) Merlin: (running inside) Arthur, wait! Baby: (sitting on the bed, looks up at Arthur and gives a cute giggle) Arthur: (Turns to Merlin slowly) Merlin? Merlin: Yeah? 😅 Arthur: Why is there a baby in your bed? Merlin: (in panic, shouts the first thing that comes to his mind) She is mine! Arthur: ... Arthur: What? 😧 Merlin: (repeats more quietly but more firmly) She is mine. (runs to hold her up and embraces her) She is my daugther. Arthur: (thinking) But... but he is so young. (says) Where's the mother? Merlin: (with pain as he remembers the burnt tent) She passed away. Arthur: (his heart hurting for Merlin) I'm so sorry. But Gods Merlin, why didn't you tell me? I wouldn't have given you so many chores if I knew... (thinking) And I almost sacked you. I almost sacked a single father with a baby in arms! (says) And why the hell are you hiding her? Merlin: I... wasn't sure if I could keep her. Arthur: Of course you can keep her! What kind of master do you think I am? Knight x: (from outside) Sire? Arthur: (shouts back) In a minute! (to Merlin) What's her name? Merlin: Brigitta. Arthur: (repeats softly and smiles) Brigitta.

From then on, Arthur doesn't give Merlin as many chores and raises his salary considerably. And then everybody else finds out about Briggitta and go "I've only met Brigitta for a day and a half, but if anything happened to her, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself".

Some events would change, obviously, and some would remain the same but with a new perspective. I don't think Merlin would have time to make Lancelot a fake seal, for example, having to look after Brigitta and all. I can imagine Lancelot becoming Brigitta's first unnofficial babysiter, then Arthur makes it official so poor Lancelot has a salary and a place to stay in Camelot. The Poisoned Chalice episode would remain the same, except Arthur would be more in panic mode and desperate because MERLIN HAS A DAUGHTER! BRIGITTA CAN'T LOSE HER FATHER TOO!

I think it would be The Beginning of the End where Arthur and Morgana find out about Brigitta's magic and Merlin's magic. Not because they discovered her, surprisingly, but Merlin decided to tell them all the truth about her and himself after seeing how they saved Mordred. Also, since Merlin saw Brigitta's possible future in Mordred, he wants to leave Camelot too to keep her safe. Screw all what the dragon told him about destiny, his daugther comes first.

So Merlin and Brigitta are about to leave with Mordred with the druids. They are having a heartfelt goodbye with Arthur, who scorted them there, but then...

Brigitta: (cries very loudly in Merlin's arms and the earth starts shaking a bit) Merlin: I know, I know, baby, but we have to go. Brigitta: (cries more loudly and extends her little arms to Arthur) Arthur: (barely containing his tears) I'll miss you too, Biddy. But this is the best for you- Brigitta: ATHU! 😭 Arthur: (open his eyes wide) What did she just said? Brigitta: (still crying and making grabby hands at him) ATHU, ATHU, ATHU! 😭 Arthur: (tears roll down his eyes) She said my name... Merlin, she said my name! (grinning widely) Let me hold her one more time, please! Merlin: (gives Brigitta to Arthur) Druid leader: (urgently) We need to leave now! Merlin: (looking at Arthur and Brigitta tenderly and smiles) Leave, we'll stay.

I also can imagine Nimueh going after Brigitta's life instead of Hunith, and having to confront not only a very furious Merlin, but a feral protective prince.

That's how far my imagination can go. If you have any ideas of how Merlin and Arthur or other character would act in other episodes now with Brigitta in the equation, share it in the comments or reblogs. I'll be happy to read you 🥰
