i’d be the first one to fall. ❞ ❝ wouldn’t you rather give it all at once to something real than carve off useless pieces till there’s nothing left? ❞ ❝ you’re wasting energy. you know i’m right. ❞ ❝ i just want what’s mine. ❞ ❝ must everything be boring and sad? ❞ ❝ you have a problem, you come to me. ❞ ❝ i’m starting to think we’re in over our heads. ❞ ❝ everyone has their own rebellion. ❞ ❝ can one ever be too aggressive in preserving order? ❞ ❝ the day before is always hard. too much time to worry. ❞ ❝ don’t touch me. ❞ ❝ i wake up every day to an equation i wrote fifteen years ago from which there’s only one conclusion, I’m damned for what i do. ❞ ❝ i’m just trying to clear my name. ❞ ❝ working with other people is never easy. ❞ ❝ just being in your presence…i’ve realized that life is worth living. ❞ ❝ do you have any idea how much trouble you’re in right now? ❞ ❝ i knew you were lying. i knew it. ❞ ❝ losing hope? your mind? keep it to yourself. ❞ ❝ must everything be boring and sad? ❞ ❝ the axe forgets, but the tree remembers. ❞ ❝ perhaps my deranged belief that there was something better fated for me in the future was a dream worth clinging to. ❞ ❝ i’m not here for career advice. ❞ ❝ there’s a difference between fear and losing your nerve. ❞ ❝ you’re slouching. is that how you present yourself to the world? ❞ ❝ perhaps you should have a rest. ❞ ❝ i didn’t deserve what happened. ❞ ❝ you should go. i didn’t realize how late it was. ❞ ❝ i’d forgotten how sensitive you can be. ❞ ❝ you’re lucky to be alive right now. ❞ ❝ so, that’s it? that’s why you’re here? revenge? ❞ ❝ you can wear a ball gown if you’d like. ❞ ❝ this is the last place you should be. ❞ ❝ so much going wrong, so much to say, and all of it happening so quickly. ❞ ❝ it’s easier to hide behind forty atrocities than a single incident. ❞ ❝ what were you gonna do if i wasn’t here? ❞ ❝ i’ve been worried you might do something like this. ❞ ❝ don’t you dare talk to me like that. ❞ ❝ the very worst thing you can do right now is bore me. ❞ ❝ if you’re not willing to risk your conscience, then surrender and be done with it. ❞ ❝ we’ve come a long way from where we started. ❞ ❝ i show you the stone in my hand, you miss the knife at your throat. ❞ ❝ people blame you for what happened. ❞ ❝ i think about you constantly. ❞ ❝ i dreamt you came back. ❞ ❝ you pull in the net and the easy thing, the quick thing, is to assume that everything you’ve dragged to shore is a fish. ❞ ❝ i should…i should say thank you. ❞ ❝ i’ve given up all chance at inner peace. i’ve made my mind a sunless space. i share my dreams with ghosts. ❞ ❝ don’t die until you put up a fight. ❞ ❝ you came here to kill me, didn’t you? ❞ ❝ i’ve been shamed enough for one night. ❞ ❝ if you wanna say something, you should say it now. ❞ ❝ i would rather die trying to take them down than giving them what they want. ❞ ❝ is that meant to scare me? ❞ ❝ i’ve been turning away from the truth i wanted not to face. ❞ ❝ you’re bleeding. ❞

anyway something something, allowing magic folk to fight back and get revenge is good actually.
#( out of character. )#love being canon divergent#i just think it makes sense#and it makes sense there's still conflict and things end up badly#would hurt worse things end this way AFTER they achieved change#merlin absolutely deserved to be involved with a resistance and his people as he was prophesied to do#they allowed him to do it in the 2017 movie so.#and still diverge his paths with morgana even if they were friends#BECAUSE. they had different approach to this matter

me wanting to throw merlin into dnd vs knowing he’s canonically op to the max.
#( out of character . )#maybe just like#young immortal just vibing#just vibing with dragons#vaguely weird and vibing#a random npc you meet that later turns out to be god#he has a feather cloak#a cloak of feathers and accompanied by dragons

you know, when merlin drags arthur, that’s very on brand for him, to be expected, but when gwen drags arthur —
#( out of character . )#watching moment of truth which hate to see merlin lose a friend#it's just first of many#but gwen telling arthur off is my fave thing ever#imagine you're the prince and these peasants are dragging your ass#love that for him personally#also sorry nightmare child is back i just had a time

it makes me sad when i think about how if the great purge never happened, merlin would have been titled, properly trained since childhood and actually prepared for what’s to come, with a full family and probably having grown up at least partially in camelot.
#( out of character . )#like he would be a different person a bit how he grew up shaped him#but yeaaaah#like he has royal blood on one side noble blood on the other side#like ok he's not human at all but he was still born ya feel me#he was chosen for these specific parents because of their bloodlines and family tree that goes far back#and is hella impressive#but tbh i like he had a simple upbringing it shaped him#even if they were piss poor and constantly on edge

i just know that merlin and will were horrible as kids.
#( out of character . )#annoying af#running around underground tunnels#horrible (beloved)#idk why merlin isn't allowed to grieve he should've been allowed to grieve his childhood friend more#i'm salty

also, i’m adding nimueh to my multi @sennik.
#( out of character . )#she's gonna follow this blog canon which i'm gonna write soon but yeah#also just to say because i'm like. taking inspo from not just this show#nimueh isn't nimue the lady of the lake#i've decided the lady of the lake is just like a title that's passed when it's needed#so first it was freya#then later like. post camelot already. he meets viviane (or nimue i guess technically more than one person can have the same name)#and she becomes the next lady of the lake#this nimueh is the high priestess which obviously means she has ties to avalon#but yeah.
