I was just watching THIS video and now I want to write a Merlin dark!AU where Arthur and Morgana have Mordred together but Arthur is also in love with Guinevere who’s a noblewoman whose family lost all their lands and Arthur lies and manipulates people because he’s learned from Uther, and Merlin and Gwen and Morgana have to work together to survive and GOSH

“Morgana I don’t understand”.

Merlin Meme; seven scenes [2/7]
“You have blood on your hands, Uther Pendragon! Blood that will never wash off!”

#sometimes i remember where it all started #and think about what could have been#and just get really really sad 

me too. every damn day.

Merlin showing Arthur Avalon, and introducing him to Kilgharrah.

cornerof5thandvermouth said: hey, i saw yr post on naagini + i just have to say thanks so much for making it- its honestly somethin that never occurred to me while i was readin the books (admittedly, i was much younger at the time i was heavily into HP + nowhere near as socially conscious as im tryin to be now). browsing yr blog, i gotta say yr posts on fandom are consistently engaging + well thought out + i dig the fuck outta them! have you written any fics tackling this stuff in-world, or have links to fics that have?

My fics: a story of unused potential and procrastination LOL. One thing that writing has taught me is how hard it is to untangle oneself from cultural tropes, even when one is trying their damndest. So while I tried to write my fics from a WOC-affirming perspective, there were obviously areas in which I failed.

“Merlin” fanfic:

1) Children of Avalon 

2) Venus Transiens (incomplete)

3) One Thousand Tomorrows (co-authored. I only wrote a few of the one-shots and I kinda abandoned it)

“Avatar: the Last Airbender Fanfic” 

1) A Mirror, Darkly

Crossover fanfic for “Teen Wolf” and “The Vampire Diaries”

1) Take Your Time Coming Home

2) Season of Mists

3) Some Nights

4) Break the Silence, Damn the Night (WIP I’m currently working on)

Aaaand that’s all I have so far :p These are all flawed in their own way, but I enjoyed writing them and it gave me a chance to reframe narratives that I found frustrating.

Anonymous said: Hi! I know you don't really ship A/G anymore and try to stay away from all things Merlin-related, but I just wanted to say that I just read both stories of your Children of Avalon series, and it was hands-down the best fanfiction I've ever read. It was a rich, sensual, beautiful, and heart-breaking story. Thank you so much for giving us that gem :)

OH WOW. Thank you this is so sweet. I had a lot of fun writing that story and I’m so happy so many people liked it ^_^ I’ll always have fond memories of CofA.
Incidentally, if you search ‘children of avalon merlin au’ on youtube, an amazing person made a trailer for part 1, and it’s pretty incredible with lovely music :)

unpopular opinion!!! 

joanwatsonss:

am I the only one who doesn’t like [insert female character here]?

she does things!  things the main/dude characters wouldn’t do (unless they were under some kind of duress not like THAT would ever happen)!!!

I’m just supposed to act like she’s a kickass character because she is one???  sorry but I don’t think I can do that.

#the character’s name #the name of the show #popular abbreviation of the show name #unpopular opinion

don’t you miss merlin? 

hannibalsheart:

whenever someone talks about how much they miss it, i always have to think back on fond memories at places like http://meaner-merlin.livejournal.com/ and http://merlin-mm.livejournal.com/. loved it, what can I say; i’m ready for my expose mr. demille.

my favorite part of it was when people would post tirades about the faux social justice warriors ruining the show and the characters (they never actually liked in the first place). kvetch constantly about people calling the fandom hostile toward women, racist and misogynist, and insist that people were seeing things that weren’t there. people would insist that there was no hatred and whoever complained were a bunch of hateful fan-community-ruining cunts, and blamed their whole miserable experience in fan circles on people who they could just ignore instead of harassing anonymously. then, they’d turn around and post threads like the ones below. lol. once or twice i saw an n-word dropped here or there (about angel coulby), but to mods credits, those were usually removed, but not before a few fans could delight in the slur. ah the good old days.

on to tonight’s entertainment.

Reasons to hate Katie McPillsbury (McGrath)

1. She has big chubby thighs.

2. She has a bit of a chubby tummy.

3. Her feet are disgusting looking, her toe jam especially. When she goes to catholic mass and they wash feet, the whole church passes out when she puts her bare foot out.

4. She cannot act worth shit.

5. She is annoying. ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME.

6. Her fans are as annoying, in other ways, as the Angel nuts.

7. She got her job on Merlin by sleeping with someone, just like JRM baptised her lady part to get her a stint on the Tudors.

The assholes are just Angel fans who think the show is called THE QUEEN and should be all about Gwen’s nose finding its way into every single god damn thing. Part of me is glad there may be no reveal; I couldn’t stand Gwen’s boobs sticking themselves in the midst of it.

You should speak of assholes, for your ‘lovely’ Queen looks like she was shit out of a trash bag’s diseased asshole. If I was the British govt I would make a law banning Angel Coulby from being able to reproduce. The world doesn’t need another mug that looks like that cunt.

You know the other day when some anon asked who cast Angel? Capps and Murphy did after she promised to suck their dicks daily. Every time she got a wardrobe add, it was because she did an extra better job at being the filthy cunt she is.

I hope now that Merlin is over that little slut fucks off somewhere where she is never on television again. Her stupid thing where she dances like a penny worth at most whore is going to burn because she is too ugly to look at in a flapper.

I hate that cunt Angel and I hate her fans. They have ruined what could have been a good show and stink up fandom more every single fucking day. And I hate Angel defenders who don’t like her yet manage to still kiss her and her fans ass in some so-called noble gesture.

I want both Arthur and Gwen to die. That’s all. Merlin serves food to a stupid whore whose only accomplishment in life was to spread legs before the right person, loses every important person in his life and all for what? For a dumbfuck who kills innocent people and wines and dines a sadistic maniac who is telling that he has abused Arthur’s blood and flesh for two years.

This fucking show needs to end.

Gwen is an ugly bitch, and it has nothing to do with being or not being a CMS.

+100

I took a dump a few minutes ago during the episode and I swear, as I left the bathroom I noticed this big ugly hideous thing on my computer screen. I was like, how did my shit get on there? Then I was like, oh that is Gwen.

Here on this meme, we are fans of Colin and Bradley, not Angel and Katie. If you want to stan and praise them, go to tumblr. This meme is Merlin Boysville. Fans of the girlies can stay and praise the boys, however please don’t pollute this place with articles and shit about the girls. The regular crowd does not care or want.

I swear, ever since that dwerp posted the link on tumblr, this place has quickly been going down hill. I’ll be shocked if it makes it to March/April for the shooting would start memorial based on the dirt that is stinking its way into this meme lately.
