I Absolutely Love This - Blog Posts
a completely normal manga panel where absolutely everything makes sense and everyone is completely fine
The way this idea is so good that I can literally feel this idea slowly taking over my body, possessing me to write about it.
You could also add the fact that Arthur knows that Pendragons all eventually grow mad over time, so Arthur thinks that Merlin, as a figment of his own imagination, is just the first sign of the downfall of his mental state.
But that's his emotional support hallucination, his friendly sleep paralysis demon, so he can't bring himself to hate Merlin, even though, to Arthur, he's a sign that Arthur is going mad and losing touch with reality.
To throw in some more angst, Arthur could believe that Merlin is a hallucination so deeply that he still sees and hears Merlin even when Merlin's isn't actually there. He can't differentiate between the real Merlin and the Merlin that his mind makes up, since he believes that he's hallucinating both of them.
It's also why Arthur is so hesitant to touch Merlin most of the time: either his hand will go straight through Merlin, confirming that Arthur is, indeed, going mad, or Merlin will be solid under his hand, meaning that Arthur's cannot tell reality from illusion, even by touch, and what would that mean for the world around him? Had he made all of it up? Had he ever seen beyond the fog of his own insanity?
This idea so SO FASCINATING!! I love it so much!!
EDIT: I can't believe I didn't think of this before, but when the knights and Gwen eventually catch on to the whole "Arthur believes that Merlin is a hallucination" situation, they try to point out that yes, they can see Merlin too, they can describe to Arthur exactly what Merlin looks like and what he's doing, so he therefore can't be a figment of Arthur's imagination. And Arthur just turns to them sadly and apologize and say that he didn't know that his condition was contagious. The knights and Gwen try very, very hard not to call Arthur an idiot.
The greatest mystery in bbc merlin to this day is just what was Arthur thinking every time he dragged Merlin into danger with him like some kind of emotional support plushie without any protection.
Sometimes I get the feeling Arthur thought he just made up Merlin in his mind and he isn't real. Like, he's just an imaginary friend who keeps him entertained, makes up silly words, understands him to the core and always has the right answers, often times answers he doesn't like, but the subconscious do be like that.
He doesn't need armour or any protection cause he isn't real. Plus it's easy to keep being mean to your best friend for no reason when you think he's actually you - and you're always mad at you
Me poking at my various AUs: yet another Ahsoka time-travel fic, this time Jango/Ahsoka/Quinlan
(One of these boys is the rocket launcher on her shoulder, and the other is the stiletto in her boot. Both of them are arm candy.)
Father and son bonding time. They have the same type ;)
ajsdfkjsadfkjsdkf I'm so proud of this 🥺💖
jon is the kind of person to agree to look after a friend’s kid for an evening and end up watching frozen with them and absolutely sobbing at every emotional beat
Weird (creepypasta only) headcanon but I feel like the mansion changes based on who lives there and their needs. It’s ever growing, changing, and it never quite looks the same. I feel like the mansion would kind of be an extension of slenderman in a way, and maybe even a living entity itself. Of course I’m draw to a kind of ‘House of Leaves’ like concept, but I also feel like it might be reminiscent of the house in What Remains of Edith Finch, or even the Winchester House. Abandoned rooms of long forgotten proxies locked away, their history only to be left to the imagination. Hallways that seem to go on forever, progressively getting more decrepit and dated as you head deeper into the bowels of the house. The victorian architecture remains characteristic throughout the building, but certain areas seem to change in style slightly. The stain on the woodwork suddenly changes tint. The ornate details on the mantle and plethora of twisting staircases seem to change artists every so often. And every carving, painting, or sculpture of a person seems ever so slightly off. If you were to bring a piece of art with the portrait of a loved one, their face would morph so slowly over time to resemble someone else that you may never even notice. The man in that photo isn’t your friend, he never even existed in the first place.
Some ideas about Joana D'Arc in the universe of ROR:
⚠️( first of all, I rely entirely on the mythology behind the figure of Joan, I'm not here to disrespect other people's religions! this is fiction and an inspiration I took for an OC, leave me alone!!!) ⚠️
Oc x Canon.
My silly version of Joan D'Arc! (made in Eldarya)
-Joana was devoted to God, and claimed to be able to hear the voice of angels to save her people, but in the end she was only influenced by the church's propaganda about power and submission, and did not know how to deal with it.
-She dedicated her life to the art of the sword, pretending to be a man most of her life, she wanted to prove to her God and people that she was worthy of such power the same power of the men who spoke for god.
-Gradually she lost her faith, when she noticed that everything she did only led to the fire, her death.
- When she learned that the gods wanted to end humanity, it was the last straw, did she fight so hard for this? Unforgiven.
-She no longer fights for the God who abandoned her, but for humanity that even with its flaws and evil is still worthy of something, she will show the gods and those who burned her!
-Is scared to death of fire, when her sword flashed in blue flames she almost had a heart attack.
-Loves to eat, Joana was never a rich person, she has a very big appetite and eating is something that gives her pleasure, likes bluenfood alot.
- Loki can't trick her, the woman is a statue.
-Figures from Christian mythology seem to have an interest in her that she is willing to ignore.
- Poseidon(Beelzebub any man fr): no man has ever beaten me. Joana: jokes on you, I'm not a man. -She has a soft spot for Sasaki and she doesn't know why.
- Buddha forces her to eat sweets when she's down, imagine him shoving a macaron in her mouth while she pouts.
- On the outside cold as ice but total princess energy inside, likes dresses and being girly.
-Same energy as Lady Oscar from Rose of Versailes. A woman who can also be a pretty prince.
-Beelzebub has a Stalker energy tords her, something about blasphemy and how devout she was to god only to turn against him.
-Selective mute that prefers to die than say anything...but sometimes out of nowhere she has attacks of screaming because she feels/thinks she is on fire again...and it goes back to being silent as if nothing had happened.
