Merlin Was Truly Willing To Die For Arthur From The Start

Okay, I know we talk about The Poisoned Chalice all the time, and how gay it is, but I don’t think any of us truly acknowledges how fucking insane Merlin is. Please consider this.

Merlin drinks the poison not knowing:

what kind of poison it is

how lethal it is

how fast acting it is

if it has a cure

if the cure is something Gaius can make

if the cure is something Gaius can make fast enough to save him

What the hell was Merlin's plan?

He would have died. It's arguable that he does die, but his immortality brought him back.

Gaius couldn't make the cure the key ingredient was in a dangerous location and difficult to get to

the poison was magically enhanced it was enhanced by Nimueh to act faster than normal, effectively cutting their timetable in half

Arthur could've been prevented from going after his fight with Uther, he only decides to go possibly hours later, after talking to Morgana

Arthur would've died without Merlin's aid, he would have died in that cave and the cure never would've made it back

it was already too late Arthur gets the flower back, but he gets arrested and locked up, the flower gets crushed, and only gets to Merlin after Guinevere sneaks in and Arthur hides it in the food

the cure required magic Gaius had to use magic to activate the cure, so if he couldn't have gotten Guinevere out of the room, he couldn't have used it, and there was a strong possibility that he wouldn't have had the strength to do it because of the lack of practice

Merlin possibly died anyway he's immortal, and his breathing and heartbeat stop for a significant amount of time before he wakes up; I've written about it being possible that he's able to die and come back to life

So if Merlin was mortal, he would have died, and there was no way for him to know that they would be able to cure him prior to drinking the poison.

He had known Arthur for maybe a month if we're being generous. They were still on rough, getting-to-know-each-other terms. Merlin was still adamantly opposed to the whole "destiny" thing. Despite all of that, he willingly drank that poison without any hesitation.

That is fucking insane.

au where Arthur returns, but the greatest time of need is the 17th century and it's the British Empire.

Arthur: So, what's new?

Merlin: Well, the territories...have been united.

Arthur: That's good, right? The destiny has been fulfilled then!

Merlin: Yeah, no...it's the wrong territories.

Arthur: ...

Merlin: They went a little overboard.

[out-of-the-forest-i-come]

there are many things alix e. harrow did amazingly in 'the once and future witches', but one that really stuck with me is the sisterhood dimension of the book. the fact that the whole story revolves around sisters who were lost to one another but find themselves and rebuild their relationship? the fact that this is essential to overcoming the obstacles that lead to the climax? the fact that sisterhood is extented not only to the three blood sisters, but to all the willing women in New Salem, the fact that the story, that witchcraft is inexorably about women helping each other because sisterhood means survival, means power?

TFW you're two weeks removed from leaving your entire life behind and moving to Night City but you're restless and anxious and can't sleep so you sneak out in the dead of night and do something reckless and the only person you know who can fix you up is that old doctor guy your new friend took you to see in a basement last week for back alley chrome and fighting tips.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"The cult of Mary Magdalene, which worships the Black Virgin, absorbed many of the esoteric teachings. According to the Gnostic Gospels, early Christian material full of female motifs that was excluded from the official canon, Mary Magdalene was one of the original disciples of Jesus. In the Gospel of Mary it is hinted that they were lovers. Magdalene's cult is based on the legendary account of her settling in the area of Marseille after Jesus' death where it was believed that she had a child by Jesus. The cult of Mary Magdalene linked to the Black Virgin because both continued to hold the female principle sacred and divine."

most of marvel 2099 doesn’t really lend itself well to the popular kind of “fandom shipping” that u see on tumblr, just in general, but i think the funniest example of this showing in real time is watching when people try to figure out who they’re gonna crackship miguel with because the only ““romanceable”” ppl that he interacts with in canon are either directly related to him or not from his time period

When we ignore history [...] and assume that women have always been treated in one particular way that we are only now beginning to overcome, we accept that our society has always been this way and indeed should be this way.
