I just realized stolas can remember blitz name and who was to him even though it probably been 20-30 years since they last saw each other.
But he can't remember a simple promise he made to his daughter, probably 10 years back?
Does anyone remember that velvette supposed to be a witch/potion maker?
I sure didn't!
I was checking her wiki because I wanted to include something about her during a conversation with my friend.
And I read about how she made love potions with the help of Valentino. And then I remember the whole she is a witch/influencer/fashion designer.
I don't know whether making her have a talent in potion making is a good idea when everyone forgets. Or it mashed in with her other stuff.
I really wished Leon and Merlin interacted more
This isn’t even really just because i ship Merleon, they just would’ve made a really good duo.
The few interactions we have with them show that they do get along very well.
We see leon seen ruffling Merlin’s hair and even joke around with him. He fully trusts Merlin and doesn’t think of him to do anything wrong.
I feel like the cup of life or maybe even Kilharrahs attack would’ve been good points for them to get closer, it would’ve given them something to connect on (mainly on Merlin’s end, unless he were to reveal his magic and all that) or at least something to talk about.
Their relationship has changed from when they first met to there last few interactions.
After the “Lamia” episode we should’ve seen some type of acknowledgement of what Leon and the others did because Leon did physically hurt Merlin, even if it was under a spell.
Leon shoving Merlin around did seem like a parallel to when he did it in “the sins of the father” but the difference was that back then he did it on his own accord.
Leon has obviously changed since then, and Merlin knows that, so it hurt him more to see him revert back to that.
MERLIN REWATCH ✦ 1.05 Lancelot
In this au, Merlin's frequent use of magic is causing a gradual transformation where he slowly develops dragon like traits (long hair, long teeth, etc..)
While he can manage the physical changes with haircuts and filing his teeth, the psychological impact is far more profound. He's becoming increasingly possessive and restless, exhibiting traits of a dragon guarding its hoard.
"Gaius, I don't understand why I feel so ill," Merlin says, his voice strained.
"Merlin, as a Dragonlord, it's possible you're experiencing hoard sickness," Gaius explains. "Dragons possess hoards of treasure and are fiercely protective of them. When deprived of their hoard, they suffer a debilitating fever until they reclaim it."
"A hoard? What could that be?" Merlin asks, bewildered.
"Think, Merlin. Has anything recently captured your attention or become particularly precious to you?" Gaius inquires.
Merlin struggles to recall, his mind clouded by a growing sense of unease.
As the months pass, Merlin's condition worsens. He struggles to fulfill his duties, his energy waning, and his personality shifting. He becomes short-tempered and withdrawn. The knights, Arthur, Morgana, and Gwen notice his decline, attributing it to a lingering illness. Arthur lessens his chores, and everyone gives him space, unintentionally isolating him further.
One night, the concerned group gathers secretly in Gaius's chambers, defying his orders to leave Merlin undisturbed.
"I can't believe we're doing this," Arthur mutters.
"Arthur," Morgana reassures him. "We're here to see Merlin. Besides, if Gaius catches us, we'll say we had urgent concerns."
"Still, this feels..." Arthur trails off.
"Relax, Princess," Gwaine interjects. "Everything will be fine. Don't pretend you don't miss him."
Suddenly, they hear voices and quickly hide. Merlin emerges, followed by a frustrated Gaius.
"I told you, I'm fine!" Merlin insists, his voice hoarse.
"No, you're not!" Gaius retorts.
"I said I'm fine!" Merlin's eyes flash gold, and a nearby vase shatters.
"It's alright, Merlin," Gaius soothes. "Here, try this new potion."
Merlin drinks the potion, then immediately vomits. "Ugh... I'm so sorry, Gaius. I don't know what's happening to me. It feels like I'm losing my mind."
"It's probably nothing," Gaius says, though his expression is troubled. "You just need rest and medicine."
The group witnesses this unsettling scene, their concern deepening. They realize Merlin's "illness" is far more complex than they ever imagined.
I don’t think I need to explain this one 😭
(I hate radioapple too but that doesn’t make incest fine and dandy like what the hell)
I think the downright most horrific and brutal detail in the show is that Kilgharrah actually used Merlin to make sure Arthur's death happened with the pretence of protecting him
pov you insulted magic users in fron of arthur and leon, both of whom are married to magic users
Leon: My king, I didn't think you would participate in today's tournament.
Arthur: I changed my mind
Leon: Didn't you say that you was to remain in the balcony to accompany the visiting Lords?
Arthur: It's a matter of honor!
Gwaine:...
Gwaine: Merlin said Lance would win
Leon: Aaaahhhhh...
Here more info on the ableist situation that I could find
Here are the rest of the sceenshots on what he said!
Am quite shocked that this drama hasn't been talked about much, but at the same time, I can see why it isn't talked about.
Basically, the youtube channel named Cartoon Universe made a video taking about the new helluva boss ep.
Well, the thumbnail contained leaked storyboards
He has changed the thumbnail into this. To my knowledge, he has not made a statement regarding this situation.
But the whole reason I wanted to make a post of this situation was because of this comment
I feel like the sceenshot is fake, but maybe there is a possibility it is true?
I mean, cartoon universe is not channel I regularly watch or really care for. But to my knowledge, he has not gotten into any drama regarding being ableist.
So, I wanna to see if anyone knew more about this.
Gwaine in a large amount of Arthurian myths: I'm a serious knight and, while I do screw up occasionally, I try my best, which is the main thing.
Gwaine in Merlin: *swishing his gorgeous hair out of his eyes and revealing half his man-cleavage whilst he grins flirtily at Merlin* I'm bisexual, I'm Irish and I hate the monarchy; fancy a kiss?-
