#she doesnt like commitment

Help me decide what episode to show my sci-fi gf as the ultimate test of her interest in Merlin.

What is an engaging episode that serves a 'if you dont like this episode you wont enjoy the show' role?!

Not gonna lie, JK Rowling making it clear she doesn't understand romantic relationships unless sex is involved somehow explains a-lot about her inability to write romance in her books.

Glamour vs. Shapeshifting

(In terms of Elias's most mysterious human face)

This is the first time we see this face, and it is not referred to as a glamour. Here's the relevant dialogue with my more literal translation that makes the distinction more clear:

Seth: Is that Ainsworth? I thought magic or sorcery or anything of that nature didn't work in the auction house... Elias: That's what I had heard too, so I didn't use either. I just entirely rearranged my shape.

We'll call this "shapeshifting" for simplicity. However, this appearance is not always accessed through shapeshifting, because there are two instances where Elias explicitly refers to it as a glamour:

This brings up so many questions for me. We've seen Elias transform into various beastial forms- I would assume all of those qualify as shapeshifting. Can he access any of his other human appearances through shapeshifting, or is the Simon-face always a glamour?

Besides shapeshifting not being magic and glamour being magic, what are the other differences? Is glamour faster to put on and take off? Is shapeshifting easier to hold for longer periods of time without strain? Is there the risk of "getting stuck" in a certain form while shapeshifting improperly, like we see at the beginning of the series when Elias gets stuck as a giant beastie for a while?

If even half of these questions get plausible answers I will be happy, because right now we don't even know who this person is. Elias 'doesn't remember' and it's driving me crazy.

Ragatha, my love, you deserve so much better than literally everyone mischaracterizing you, villainizing you, and blatantly ignoring anything subtextual that isn't black or white. Ragatha they could never make me hate you <333

in a world where everything is okay, i can just imagine gojo being a horrifically great babysitter for megumi and being unofficially adopted into the fushiguro family like

toji hates his guts, and gojo hates his guts too—but fushimama is so nice and kind, and finds him to be an absolute darling, and toji will always fold to his wifes whims every time—so toji puts up with the annoying blue-eyed menace

at the very least, he can take solace in the fact that baby megs also hates him, and fushimama has never seen her boys so cooperative and together as a family unit before—despite it being at gojos expense lmao

as much as she wants to break up their mini-fights and bickerings, she doesn't because it is somehow enrichment for the three of them

she always manages to wrangle gojo to stay just a bit longer for dinners on the weekends, despite him insisting that he doesn't want to be a bother. the smile that spreads on her face when toji invites him to stay for dinner for the first time—toji would do anything for that smile. even put up with gojo teasing him for being so down bad for her LMAO

Tell me things about Devotional Artwork! Who is the divine golden king happening to now!

oh, some Man who quoted Annatar's own words from >300 years ago (which contradict something he just said) to his face, and is not entirely certain why her request for clarification is having such an outsized reaction.

The hem of Tar-Glóriel’s gown, already smoking, began to burn. Asmi, earnestly looking between the faces of her kings and unable to read what she saw there, did not notice. Tar-Glóriel spat, “Sometimes I miss those days, when you all remembered your fucking place.”

Tar-Telepta, reaching over to lay his hand on Tar-Glóriel’s wrist, said to him silently, “From what you’ve told me, they never did. You complain all the time about how often you used to have to - dismiss, defenestrate, or otherwise dispose of perfectly competent servants over behavioral issues.”
