Is It Just Me, Or Is It Weird, Vaggie Has Long Hair?

Since I am bored, if you could rewrite your least favorite ship from hb and hh, what would be change?

Morgana curses Arthur to become an animal (vermin to be precise).

He is now a mouse, small, universally disgusted, and easily killable by animals and other humans. Arthur had to navigate back from Morganas hut in the forest and find his way back to his castle and to Gaius.

He knows he could be eaten by a cat or an owl, be killed by the servants who spot him in the corridors, or get lost in the now very big Camelot. It takes him a whole two days to make his way back to the citadel

Morganas plan was genius one. He was invisible and helpless. He could be killed and no one would know or realise that they had killed their king while chasing a little forest mouse.

His journey takes him inside the castle, and while he’s roaming the corridors as a small mouse when he spots Merlin.

Merlin!

As he runs up to Merlin the idiot lights up. “Hello little one :D”

He bends down and scoops Arthur up into his (surprisingly large hands).

“Oh aren’t you just a sweet little thing? Don’t worry, I won’t tell cook I found you down here. You can stay in my pocket while I tidy the kings chambers”

Arthur knew that his friend had a soft spot for all animals, but really this was taking it a step too far. Allowing some random mouse he found crawling around the floor to accompany him into The Kings Private Chambers? Just so he could have some company while he tidies? What a dollophead.

Although…in this specific scenario…he supposed he could make an exception. Just this once. And as soon as he transforms back into his human self he will be having words with his servant about this absolutely ridiculous behaviour.

But for now Arhrur is safe in his silly manservant’s pocket. Silly, lovable Merlin, who just picked up a little mouse and decided to take it with him for the day because he was bored.

He stays curled up in Merlin’s neckerchief

(And he’s so totally normal about being this close to Merlin’s strong neck and chest. If he wasn’t cursed as a mouse he would be so normal about this)

It’s much later in the evening, while him and Merlin eat off of the Kings dinner plate (again, he will be having words about this), when the warning bell sounds.

The King is Missing!

merlin is trending you know what that means

MERWAINE PROPAGANDA TIME

Honestly, I wonder if octavia knows her parents are getting a divorce.

I mean, she doesn't understand how her parents didn't hate each other when she was younger. So like does she know her parents are getting a divorce, or does she think her parents are taking a break.

I think octavia is aware of her parents' divorce.

I mean, in the episode seeing stars, we see stolas yelling at stella on the phone, and in the background, we also see stella stuff being put into moving trucks. So they are not really hiding their divorce from her.

I don't think octavia is aware of the full picture on why her parents are divorcing. For all we know, stolas could have just told her a white lie or never communicated the full truth on the reasoning behind their divorce.

Honestly, if the show takes this path, it would be very interesting. We could see andrealphus or stella manipulate or lie to octavia into believing that it was because of stolas cheating that they got a divorce.

Also, I want to point out that sometimes kids aren't always aware of their parents fighting. Some parents make an effort to fight away from the kids or fight when the kid is distracted or sleeping. Also, young kids may not fully understand the argument. So, they might simply tune out or dismiss the conflict altogether.

Sadly, since we don't know much about anything related to how octavia childhood was (other than some short clips) or her relationships with stella.

We can just assume stella and stolas agreed on tolerating each other for octavia sake. But the tolerance for each other broke once stella found out stolas cheated on her with an imp. So, that is why octavia growing up didn't really realize how much her parents didn't like each other.

I actively lost interest in both hb and hh fandom. there are just so many toxic people who say Hazbin Hazbin and Helluva boss are the best. they don't deserve the criticism!

Yet, they don't realize that even the most greatest thing in the world doesn't free itself from criticism.

Can’t stop thinking about a very specific dynamic

A healer and a knight fall in love.

The healer spends hours healing everyone but themselves. Caring for the sick, stitching wounds, setting bones, pushing dislocated limbs back into place. Wearing themselves to exhaustion.

The knight gently tends to the healer. Holds them in a hot bath, rubbing the soreness from their muscles under the warm water. Applies balm to their chapped fingers. Brings them tea and tucks them into bed before climbing in beside them.

The knight defends everyone. Fights off the enemy with a sword and a shield, takes the blows intended for someone else, holds the line until help arrives, fights through any and all injuries they need to in order to defend those under their protection.

The healer defends the knight when they’re down for the count. When the knight collapses, the healer takes up their sword and defends them until they get back to their feet. If someone dares to say anything against their knight they get in their faces and the healers words are sharp and cold as any blade, cutting deep into their opponent.

please get a lock on that damn door

I just realized that those big scary moments we see in both hh and hb characters final demon forms are not scary like at all (at least to me)

Like the 7 deadly sins revealed their demons forms, I was just like, "Cool."

The designs are just well underwhelming. I don't know if I am supposed to be like, "Cool!" Or "Holy shit!"

I think for me it is the art style that plays a part in this because viv style is more cute focus.

Her characters over the years don't really have a scary feel to them.

So maybe she doesn't have much experience making more horror related stuff to her designs.

So, rather, having more scary/intimating final demon designs, their designs just end up just looking cute.

Now the only one that I think got a true scary form is stolas.

Even then, I just feel like sometimes the designs are never gonna have a true moment of, "Oh my god, everyone is screwed!" When the said starts to show their true demon form

I understand you, the designs are underwhelming.

Especially when you realize the designs belong to the 7 deadly sins!

I feel like sometimes the designs are a hit and miss. Hopefully, the final designs get better, but who knows!

I don't really like any of the HH designs

Now, sometimes I like the designs, but once I take into consideration how each of the characters lived in different eras, they should all have different clothes styles, talk styles, and mannerism styles, yet it feels like they all the same.

It just gets repetitive, the same colors palette, the same shoulder pads, all the characters swearing even though it feels out of character, especially for the era they lived. It just so frustrating to see such a wonderful concept of each character having their clothing style that shows off their era fall hard on the ground 😫

I'm rewatching BBC Merlin for the hundredth time and just need to talk about The Witchfinder episode from season 2 and how this impacted Merlin's decision to keep his magic a secret.

By now, Merlin has been in Camelot long enough to see how Gaius is a trusted advisor to Uther. They've been friends for decades. Uther trusts Gaius as much as he is capable of trusting anyone.

And yet. And yet Uther STILL orders the execution of his most trusted advisor on the word of the Witchfinder.

To Uther, the years of service and trust mean nothing in the face of sorcery. Uther tried to apologize (ish) later, and rightfully so, Gaius refused to just brush the near execution aside.

Now think about Merlin. He has come to care about Arthur as a person at this point, not just part of his destiny, but they aren't as close as we know they will be later.

Merlin has been traumatized by seeing his father figure almost die because the king was blinded by his hatred of sorcery. Merlin knows it was almost his own execution here.

It's no wonder he didn't want to tell Arthur at this point. If Uther was ready to kill Gaius, we know canonically he was fine with Merlin dying.

Once Arthur became king, I believe Merlin still remembered this. We know what Merlin said: he didn't want to put Arthur in this position, to have to make the choice of life or death. But I believe there was still this deep seated fear that his years of service and council would never be enough to out weigh the death sentence of being a sorcerer in Camelot.
