"I asked ChatGPT-" Well I asked the immortal Dragon that Uther chained in the caves beneath Camelot and HE told me to commit treason

[magicalmischel]

Me: I hurt myself

Someone: what did you do? Did you fall? Broke something?

Me: I watched the Merlin BBC finale

[magicalmischel]

Sooo, now Merlin can play the lute

Arthur had a mild existential crisis over this, and promptly tried to push merlin off the balcony

Massive fan of the fact Peter Capaldi continues to refer to his character as "Doctor Who" actually like yes queen tell 'em

Quick word of warning for fellow writers. In the last couple of days I've seen a lot of accounts pop up and offer beta reading under the posts of writers. These are scammers. They stalk the "beta reader" tag to look for writers in need of betas, but they will likely run your story through AI and send you some vague feedback (example here).

Please pick someone who is active in fandoms, a fellow writer or an active reader of fanfics, not someone with an empty account.

It kinda pains me that Leon has been downgraded to the calm, serious, stoic, rational friend of the group in fanfiction

Have we forgotten how he couldn't stop laughing and thought it was hilarious when Merlin told him he needed a crossbow to kill Arthur? "He said he was going to kill him!"

He is in it on the fun

Gaius was, technically, the first person to meet Arthur, since he helped deliver him. He was the one who took care of him on his first year of life, since Uther was too strung up with grief to notice the boy. Uther’s grief soon transformed into rage, and he placed the blame on the very people who he asked for help.

The next five years, Gaius watched as his beloved Camelot, that was full of life, happiness and magic, transformed into a kingdom of fear and hiding. Many ran away, many more were slaughtered, and those who remained, remained in fear.

The child born was raised without knowing the beautiful side of magic, only its destruction.

Gaius tried to keep the little prince away from all that, but, as he grew up, Uther’s ideals became Arthur’s. Gaius could only watch as the affectionate, outgoing boy he cared for transformed into a repressed, sometimes even cruel man.

Arthur showed his true heart once in a while; showing leniency when his father taught mercilessness, showing sensibility when his father taught hatred. But Gaius had to watch as he buried those traits deeper and deeper.

As Arthur reached his twenty years, Gaius thought he would rule same as Uther.

Then came Merlin, a magical boy with a great destiny on his shoulders. Against all odds, he dug his way into Arthur’s heart and brought it to surface, and transformed him once again into the sensible, kind boy he once was.

Mesmerised by Arthur’s change, Gaius failed to see as Merlin transformed into a shadow of himself, with a destiny that consumed his bright soul and left him with nothing.
