somehow some time magic goes wrong and young arthurs from different points in time are pulled into king arthur era. everyone kinda has this back and forth of who is going to watch the literal 8 month old. gwen and lancelot are pretty good at taking care of him, so is percival but he doesnt seem comfortable with it so no one forces him. elyan tried to hold him but baby!arthur started wailing after three seconds. leon is sorta good but he has like no idea how babies work or what they need so when baby!arthur found his sword and almost lobbed his own head off, leon was forbidden from taking care of the child. gaius is too old and busy researching how to reverse the issue. who the HELL would trust gwaine with a child? arthur has this Odd aversion to the child but no one pushes him on it. ofc merlin, magic incarnate, has this like aura or energy that draws all these innocent woodland creatures to him so obviously little arthur is also drawn to him. in fact, merlin seems to be the person he likes the most. and merlins a natural w kids apparently so hes often the one that baby!arthur is handed off to.

he complains about it at first but when baby!arthur breaks into a fit of giggles after merlin calls adult!arthur a clotpole, he has merlin wrapped around his little finger. merlin stops complaining but does let arthur know that the one thing he Will Not Do is change his diaper. arthur laughs and walks away. merlin talks to baby!arthur like they’ve been friends for years (bc they have). arthur points out that baby!arthur cant understand him and merlin retorts that its like how it normally is. merlin gets to perform magic in front of baby!arthur and he LOVES it

my point to this was merlin dotting on little versions of arthur is a way that no one ever really did for him growing up and adult!arthur seeing it and healing little pieces of his inner child as he watches merlin play games with baby!arthur and make sure he’s taken care of. it especially hits him when gaius finally finds a way to send baby!arthur back and while everyone seems torn between upset they have to say bye, they’re also relieved to get the baby back where hes supposed to be,, merlin is like choking back fat tears. everyone backs off to give them privacy and merlin just kisses baby!arthur’s forehead and whispers some encouraging and heartachingly sincere words that have adult!arthur choking back tears.

then BOOM the spell also backfires and while yes baby!arthur got back to where hes supposed to be, now theres toddler!arthur. he has this gravitational pull to gaius (can recognize him) and merlin (magic soulmates ofc he has an innate trust in the man). merlin is happy to have his little friend back and gaius goes back to the drawing board. now they have this little 2-3 year old toddling after them and blabbering something that sounds like english if you’re patient enough

(merlin makes another comment about how little arthur has changed over the years)

the cycle repeats, merlin and toddler!arthur get attached and adult!arthur watches and heals a bit more of his inner child. gaius finds another cure that falls through the same way and now they have child!arthur. he has a bit more of uther’s influence in him but hes still a child. he gets hurt and tries to fight back tears but merlin sees he’s in pain and tells him it’s okay to be hurt, to feel pain, to cry. child!arthur says in that stutter cry children do when they’re fighting back tears that his father says boys shouldn’t cry. merlin wipes a tear that slips down child!arthur’s face and whispers about how he cries and lets himself feel his sadness before picking himself back up and dusting himself off before getting back to it, that it doesn’t make him weak but stronger. adult!arthur hears this and this may not be the beginning of his deconstruction but it makes a tremendous amount of progress in him rewiring his brain away from his father’s toxic ways of thinking.

idk if they’d get a teen!arthur since gaius probably would’ve learned his lesson by then but if they did, we’d get to watch Merlin vs Arthur Showdown 2.0 as merlin humbles the young prince and i think that’d be funny. especially for gwaine since he didn’t get to see it happen the first time.

It's not the way Mike smiles that's the cutest around Will to me honestly. It's the way he tries not to and fails.

This one is also so cute because he didn't just smile, he was trying not already BEFORE Will said that and it broke him.

Will loves Mike. Yeah, okay. But Mike has a CRUSH on Will. It's so adorable to watch. He is so bad at keeping his cool. I feel like he's so great as a person and with everyone and that's great, but with Will, he's such a 14 year old boy.

Makes me so happy honestly. He's just a teenage boy with a crush and love life drama.

Shadow's electricity looks more yellow than red, which is interesting. Could also be a color grading issue, to be fair.

Ooh! Good eye! I think it might be yellow with a light orange and white tint to the effect. Either way, I dig it! I think it looks great!😎

james potter has slightly crooked (i had to consult 2 people on how to spell it, and then look it up) teeth and had his parents tell him his smile was so unique because of it and is so proud of his smile.

James smiles with his beautiful crooked teeth from across the hall at one of sirius’ jokes, or maybe a joke he himself had told, Regulus doesn’t care. As long as he was able to see the beauty that was James’ smile.

Regulus tried to draw his smile from afar, but never got his teeth quite right, and he settled for writing poetry about how beautiful James’ smile was.

It wasn’t until Sirius sent him a moving picture of him and James, both smiling, with the caption of “You’re always invited to come stay with us at James’ place! (please leave that house. You’ll love it here)” that Regulus drew his smile correctly. It was perfect.

But not as perfect as the smile he saw from James in person when he finally left the Black household.

I'm also curious why do you choose different Rabbit species and not other animals

It's kinda silly. I just Really Like rabbits lol.

everyone in my family has an affinity for them, most of us have raised different breeds of them at some point in our lives, they're a very meaningful animal to me and I love to write about them. I love the different breeds temperaments, history, what they're bred and shown for, I find it so interesting to integrate into a character's story.

I love how many different themes and meanings rabbits can have in stories, and even moreso how characters can break or bend those molds. And there are just SO many breeds of rabbit.. I will literally never run out.. I wanna write about all of them.

My favorite breed might be the Flemish Giant, they can get up to 20-25 pounds and are known for having friendly personalities and being very intelligent. They're sort of like dogs, but litter trained and they'll eat your cables. But its hard to say, there are so many breeds cataloged for showing and SO many more that aren't even recognized.
