Two Sides of the Same Snowflake

Jack knows cold.

His knowledge of it is as deep as his understanding of himself, perhaps even more so. It’s as much a part of him as he is a part of it, veins of ancient magic as old as the seasons, threaded and tangled and weaved until given form of a boy that really isn’t. Such threads and knots make Jackson as much an Overland as it makes him Jack Frost: He is Magic and he is Winter, which is to say the same thing, gifted and cursed with human body. Or as human as Jack can appear like.

To Jack, cold has always been home, like his mother. Like his sister. Like his king.

Jack feels the cold with a sense of comfort, a blanket that layers under his skin, beyond his physical body, although he enjoys it perfectly well that way, too. He feels cold as one would feel one’s own arm or leg, except everywhere, all at once. It’s beautiful. Until it isn’t.

Jack stares at the discolored tint Hiccup’s body has been steadily taking over the last two days, bleaching away his red-colored cheeks. They’ve taken to a sickening mix of pale yellow’s and bruised blue’s and ashy white’s to it—and those are Jack’s colors, the ones Jack wears with pride, like they were made for him and him only.

Jack’s gaze is fixed in front of him, focused hard at the way the metal chest plate goes up, so agonizingly slowly…and down, again. Then, there will be a moment of silence and nothing at all, and Jack doesn’t know, Jack doesn’t know if this one will finally be his friend’s last breath.

Jack doesn’t blink. Time slows, looses it’s meaning. His breath is kept tight under lock, not daring to miss a single moment to himself. He does not matter, right now. Only Hiccup does.

Hiccup’s chest rises up once more, defying death with every moment, and Jack feels like crying. All the senses of the word can not encapsulate his living grief.

Yes, Jack thinks, he thought he knew cold. Turns out he doesn’t, not at all.

He understands, now, why there are people who come to detest it. It’s cold, and for once, Jack is too.

In honor of the tenth year anniversary of the series finale and inspired by @alkalinefrog ‘s art stream, have a hijack moment turned merlin bbc. :) (I apologize for the people who came looking for actual Merlin content, I just had to, as my other fave dumb magical/noble people that belong to the past)

Show vs. Tell in The Darkest Hour

The thing about Lancelot's sacrifice in The Darkest Hour is that his motivations are all over the place. I welcome a debate over this, but I find it very difficult to see it as a sacrifice for Gwen, or even Arthur, even though that's clearly what the show was going for.

On the one hand, you have the influence of Arthurian legend, which ties Lancelot's story firmly to Arthur's and Guinevere's. We see this reflected in their close bonds in the show; more with Gwen, but Arthur also was shown to think highly of him in previous episodes (they didn't have many interactions in this two-parter, and none that weren't about Merlin).

We also have his spoken motives: he and other characters bring up his duty as a knight (his conversation with Merlin in Part One where Lancelot tries to convince him to go back to Camelot). Additionally, there's the promise he made to Gwen. So you've got both his affection for her and his sense of duty pushing him to protect Arthur (he says this himself during his conversation with Merlin in that cabin TDH2, that he'll go on with the quest that it's because of the vow he made). At the end of the episode, Gwen also says this (to Arthur, during the pyre scene.

In terms of composition and design, everything points to these being Lancelot's motivations.

And yet. None of this fits with his actual actions during the episodes.

We can overlook him talking almost exclusively with and/or about Merlin, because creating a relationship with the main character is a fast and easy way to endearing him to the audience, in addition to giving him more screen time, which would serve the same purpose.

But, if looking after Arthur's his first priority, how come he immediately tries to get his sworn protector to leave? Sure, Merlin's not a warrior, but it's not like combat skills are of any use against the Dorocha. Also, of the three episodes they'd met before this one, twice Merlin's proven to have privileged information about the threat they were facing. Even just as an extra hand to do chores, look for firewood so no one's ever alone could be useful. Lancelot ought to have known that having Merlin around could only make Arthur safer, yet he insisted that he should leave.

But, okay, let's say that, as a knight, he doesn't feel comfortable with anyone who doesn't know how to fight or who didn't swear an oath endangering themselves; especially if they're his friend, like Merlin is.

How does he justify leaving the quest to take Merlin to Camelot? Any other knight might have volunteered if he'd kept quiet for a bit longer and he could've advised them to go through the Valley. By being the one to take him, he's pretty much abandoning Arthur to his luck and breaking his promise to Gwen. Sure, all the knights are sworn to protect Arthur, but he and Merlin are the ones most devoted to him, for their own reasons. Or they should be. Instead of protecting him with his life, as he promised, Lancelot chooses to take Merlin back to Camelot, despite Merlin's own protests! You know, the guy who always seems to know more than anyone else what's going on and who wants above all else to protect Arthur? (Then again, Lancelot may not have heard said protests, being in such a hurry to ride off that he interrupted his goodbye to Arthur lmao. Sorry, that scene's kinda funny to me, like, Merlin begging Arthur to let him stay and Lancelot in the background, tapping his watch.)

So he rides off with Merlin, leaving Arthur to finish the quest alone, except that they run into the Vilia and they heal Merlin. What does he say to their statement that Arthur needs them both? No can do, I need to get Merlin to Camelot. It's okay, they'll heal him! As he sees for himself the next morning! This should make him change his mind about going to Camelot, right? Except no, it does not. Even after seeing him running around, spearfishing, after trying to smack him with a stick, when Merlin wants to get back to Arthur, Lancelot immediately shuts him down. Even once he agrees, it's only after Merlin makes it clear that he'll go with or without him.

(Then you have that convo in the cabin where he's like "I have to go because I promised Gwen that I'd protect Arthur" like babe you left him. 0/0 would not ask for a promise again.

The funniest thing is that having them go on their own also serves a literary purpose. It gives him and Merlin the opportunity to talk in privacy, giving the audience their due exposition, when around others they'd have to censor themselves to keep their secrets, Merlin's magic and Lancelot's love for Gwen.)

Then skip to the confrontation with the Cailleach. He already knew that Merlin was planning to sacrifice himself instead of Arthur. Arthur himself was unconscious. The only thing he had to do to protect him is stand there and look pretty. For all his penchant for self-sacrifice, we already knew he feared death, because he said himself that it was difficult to imagine knowingly giving his own life. But he still walked through the Veil.

Let's be clear. The person he saved by doing that was Merlin.

Not to say that there was no way of seeing that as protecting Arthur. He'd just been told by two magical sources (the Vilia and Kilgharrah) that Merlin had a huge destiny. It's likely that Merlin had told him the same thing before, as he was pretty loose with his declarations of how he was meant to protect Arthur. So, it's not impossible that he thought that the best way to protect Arthur, not just that once but in the future, was to save Merlin. You can definitely say that. Just like you can definitely get from Spain to India by sailing west without ever stopping on land. You will have to doge a whole ass continent that spans two hemispheres, though. And have fun in the Pole!

Anyway, this isn't meant to be a shipping manifesto. And while I love those two, and enjoy screaming about them to the void, it isn't even about them either. I most definitely don't mean to undermine Lancelot’s love for Gwen. I just wanted to point out this discrepancy between what the show says (Lancelot sacrificed himself for Gwen, Arthur and Camelot, in that order) and what it does (Lancelot sacrificed himself for Merlin).

I'm so fuckin sad about gojo ): I keep rereading mbbc to cope but I'm still so sad about it. like gege really killed him for no reason it feels like. ur writing is the only thing keeping me going ))):

Babes. You do not want to hear more of my ranting on this subject. But if you do, see below the cut!

And tbh, writing my unhinged drabbles is also the only thing keeping me going. There will be a new update on A Praise Chorus this Sunday, I can promise you that! I need to cope somehow lmaooo

Gege is my arch nemesis rn. I am not even talking about gojo--though I am still pissed off about his pointless death. the writing has been subpar for the last 100ish chapters and gojo was just the nail in the coffin. I don't understand how the same man who wrote the shibuya incident could be writing these new chapters. the deaths are pointless (I’m mainly thinking about Yuki and Gojo but this includes tsumiki), the villain is boring (sukuna is honestly so bland without yuji), the forgotten main character (like this is still yuji's story??), the forgotten side characters (nobara?? todo too???), and the constant sukuna dickriding (you mean to tell me that sukuna managed to totally heal himself when he said a point blank hollow purple would be fatal??? sounds fake but ok). I'm just over the shitty writing. maybe gege will return to form by the end of the story, but I fucking DOUBT IT.

[merlinsearsarebeloved]

How often did he do this — once a week, one a month, once a year? How often? How long had Merlin toyed with his own death, the only living-dead creature on this planet, more dead than alive in every sense of the word?

Some of his horror must have shown on his face for Merlin’s expression hardened. The man suddenly came alive with unbidden emotion — more emotion than any human had any right to bear, really.

“Don’t you — don’t you dare, Arthur. Don’t you dare judge me, don’t you dare think that I— that I should have held on, that I had no right, when you, of all people, did not have the right of dying in the first place, I— You left me on my own, the lot of you.” Tears flowed from his eyes in a constant stream, breaking his voice, his words, his old-english tongue to a strange mixture of time-past dialects Arthur only managed to understand by virtue of the intense feelings he infused into them. “Left me to live. They denied my right to die, and I had to go on, and wait, wait for you, wait for a time no prophet could ever hint at, and what was I left to to then? Guess? Put my faith in what? You? Magic? Kilgarrah? Kilgarrah died, and soon did also Aithusa, and that was the end of the Age of Dragons. And I thought — oh, maybe now he’ll come back, to bring back the balance. But you didn’t. Then the Norse came, and I thought it was the time. I built up your legacy, the resistance, and promised them that you’d come. But you didn’t. The Romans destroyed our way of life. Still, you weren’t there. Christians tore down the last vestiges of the Old Religion. The Norse again, and Normans followed, and still I stood alone, promising the return of the great king who would bring peace to Albion. You never did. Our way of life changed, our tongue changed, our culture and science and time passed and still you slept. Wars came, too many of them now for me to count, or to count even then. Slowly the realisation came — you wouldn’t come back, would you? And you didn’t. Our people, our kings, they all turned into savage beasts of mass destruction. Genocide on new discovered lands, slavery, and there I was, left on my own, unable to stop it. Magic dwindled. I only met a couple of magic users in a lifetime, and I could not protect them. Then came the first world war — and I was sure, I was so sure this would be the time, I thought — oh, what came before never came close to this destruction. The Sidhe will surely bring him back to me. But you didn’t. And then I understood, and I wish it could have killed me, the mere realisation, especially when the second war came and I saw the sheer horror you would never be there to stop. And how could you? What could one man do to save millions of people from death camps, only supported by the weight of an old forgotten legend? The memory of you had faded, a simple children’s tale, and that was all I had left to do now, wasn’t it? Keep your memory alive, find my way back in time for a few traces of you, to keep and cherish and protect. For nothing, I realised. What could a private museum of Arthuriana artefacts do to protect Albion? It isn’t Albion anymore. It never was. All along, all of my youth, a complicated lie that had me cower in fear and bring down the extinction of my people. It was all my doing. Then and now Albion brings war on the Middle East, the world is plagued with a pandemic, and soon enough we will know of a flood not even my powers could prevent. No, Arthur — do not judge me for wanting to die, for wanting to hide from whatever the future holds of that same nothingness that has followed me for one thousand, five-hundred and thirty-five years.”

Merlin took one long, shuddering breath, and opened his mouth to continue but couldn’t find his voice; instead, a long wail had him hide his face in his hands.

Just a little snippet of the os i’m currently working on, where Merlin can’t stop holding on to Arthur because a thousand, five-hundred and thirty-five years is a hell of a long time to be alive. Aka, that one touch-starved!Merlin fic I’ve been thinking of for about eight years.

The sorceresses are cheerleaders. Yay or nay?

Yay! They are actually!

Yennefer is Cheer Captain and is honestly such a basket case for a cheer cap.

Fringilla was originally gonna be Cheer Captain until Yennefer stole her spot.

Triss is just vibing. No drama. Just busting out laughing during practice if one of the jocks eat shit (usually Lambert because, well, it's Lambert).

I haven't figured out the rest of the MBBC's (Magic Bad Bitch Club) roles are, so just know they are all cheerleaders.
