why did they do that to jason bbcatlantis. he was like a marine biologist or something i cant be asked to look it up but hes canonically from 2014 and they never talk about it which in itself is kind of camp but it could have been infinitely more camp if he was just a Guy who was also in the Prophecies. he knows what an iphone is.

comparing bbc merlin and bbc atlantis and how the writers are racist

bbc merlin and atlantis were written by the same people. i have been a merlin stan for a while, im very familiar with the show, fandom and any behind the scenes info.

i have just finished watching atlantis and noticed a lot of things which had a same/similar harmful pattern as merlin.

first of all the cast is majority white with only one person of colour in the main cast (gwen in merlin and ariadne in atlantis).

both gwen and ariadne had tragic storylines.

gwen lost her father, her best friend, faced execution multiple times, was banished and generally no one was there for her in the way she was there for other.

ariadne suffered from (pasiphae), faced execution lost her father, had to deal with the weight of being a princess/queen, her duties, near death and deal with medea (will come to medea soon).

the main love stories were gwen x arthur in merlin and ariadne x jason in atlantis. woman of colour with a white man.

in the later series of merlin, gwen and arthur didn't have a lot of screentime and affectionate scene as they had done earlier on. the couple scenes in S5 were mainly when gwen was enchanted. she was given less screentime throughout the series and if you have been in the fandom, you'll know how some merthur stans are racist, invalidating towards gwen to ship merthur.

in atlantis, the second season barely revolved around ariadne despite the fact that storyline was mainly about ariadne trying to retake atlantis. the show then introduced medea and a small love story began between medea and jason.

medea and jason are cousins so not only is the couple like....that. but there was absolutely nothing wrong with ariadne x jason! they were happy, in love and would have died for one another.

the show was cancelled but the finale ended off with a very heavy indication that medea and jason were going to become even more of a thing and ariadne would be cast aside.

not only were the lead women of colour given less screentime and clearly cast aside, another thing which is noticeable is the fact the only other people of colour (specifically Black people) in these shows was either given an evil/bad storyline or murdered.

these writers have a LOT of issues and clearly are inherently racism. to have not one but two shows with the same racist undertones is completely awful and shows how antiblack/racist they really are

I can’t believe that people don’t like Medusa...she was such a sweetheart?

She was so lovely and helpful to the gang and Pasiphae used her sadness to her advantage...she deserved better, it’s been 3 years and I’m still sad she died

Mermaid Bones

The waves crashed upon the shore as Pythagoras wondered along the coastline with his dear friend. He was babbling about triangles and theories and ideas he had come up with.  The blonde was paying no more attention to the suroundings than he needed to, he was more focussed on the words streaming from his mouth.

But then his friend stopped him and pointed up ahead to something white half burried in the sand. Immediately, Pythagoras shut his mouth and rushed up to see what exactly it was. He was expecting some fish bones or something, but instead, was greeted by an undoubtedly humanoid skeleton. And upon closer inspection he realized that it seemed to be a human mixed with some sort of a fish. "By the gods, I think it was a mermaid or siren of some sort." He gasped. "Do you think these bones are cursed? Would it be safe to study them?" He asked, turning to look at his friend.

Do you know what hurts? When your favourite show (with your favourite actor in) only got 2 seasons and there is barely any fan fiction or fan art. Plus it ended on a cliff hanger and now I want to cry.
