I'm going to be confessing something
I hate how all the characters don't have features that imply how old they died. Like husk apparently died in his 70s, yet no wrinkles? No gut from drinking? Or they could've had him having some difficulty running or walking since the older you get, it very unlikely you can run the same way you would 20 years old.
Nope, nothing.
Ok so i love Merlin magic reveals but theres just something special about Merlin Dragonlord reveals
The ones where Arthur finds out and suddenly realises "HolyshititoldMerlinthathisownfatherwasntworthatearwhyishestillatmysideimahorribleperson-"
And i've seen several versions of this reveal and what the responses would be
But i haven't seen one i had in my mind
Just imagine this: Merlin grows his hair out ("no, gwaine, im not copying your hairstyle stfu-") and grows a beard
And Arthur thinks it's hot that he looks oddly familiar but can't place it
He tells tells Merlin this and Merlin sits there in cold sweat thinking Arthur is connecting him to Dragoon or something
It takes Arthur a week (A whole week!) to figure out who bearded Merlin reminds him of
They’re sitting around the fire on their way to a quest or whatever
And Arthur looks at Merlin who's attempting to carve what looks like a misformed dog from a piece of wood when Arthur suddenly gets flashbacks to that time The Great Dragon escaped and they went in search for the last Dragonlord.
Balinor. Merlin looks like Balinor.
And now that he sees it he can't unsee it. It's uncanny how much they look alike. Almost like father and son...
And that is how Arthur realises that he never defeated The Great Dragon and that Merlin is in fact the last dragonlord and "shitshitshitmyfatherruinedhisfatherslifeanditoldhimnottocryaboutit-"
Ignoring the fact that Uther believed that Dragonlords were too close to magic Arthur confronts Merlin about it, and promises him it's alright, it will all be alright. And Merlin can barely get out a word before Arthur hugs him, both of them pretending that Merlin totally isnt crying.
Arthur takes any books on dragons and dragonlords he can find and gives them to Merlin.
(Bonus points if Merlin lets Arthur come along the next time he summons Kilgarrah for help and Arthur promptly kisses Merlin after hearing him use that voice because 'holyshithessohotwhattheactualfuck')
((Even more bonus points if they adopt Aithusa together))
How do you feel about the new episode
Honestly, I didn't plan to watch the new episode today since I'm both sick and busy.
But tiktok spoiled Millie pregnancy for me, and right now, I'm debating actually watching the episode to see what else is going to happen
Merlin and Leon being immortal doesn't stop any wounds from scarring, they play as a reminder of what kills them every single time, and they can very much still feel pain from them.
So they took to treating the others wounds whenever they’re bothering them after they found out about each others immortality.
I'd imagine they both always have backup bandages and salve with them just in case the others scars start to bother them.
They sneak into each other's chambers (mainly Leon's) whenever they want to check over the other's scars, which most of the time ends up with them falling asleep in each other's rooms (which has caused many rumors..)
They also have matching scars, Merlin's burn scar from Nimueh and Leon's burn scars from Kilgharrah (headcanon) so they know exactly what the other went through.
EPISODE 4 OF HAZBIN HOTEL REVIEW!
~~~~~~~~
Tw: sa
I have never been sa, so I can not commentate if the scenes of sa in this episode were done right.
Some people said no, and others have said yes. I see both sides of this argument, but it is just one of those things where I can't speak on it since I never been through that. So I'm just not talk about the sa scenes.

Summary of the episode:
Angel struggles to keep up with both his work life and hotel life. So Charlie decided it was time to use her status to help Angel out.
~~~~~~~~~~~
My problems short formed:
● I didn't really like Charlie in this episode, I get what she was trying to do. It was just one of those things where it was done poorly.
● Why did Husk have to go comfort Angel when Charlie was the reason why Angel was upset.
● I get the whole Husk is the bartender. You spill your dirty laundry on, but like, how did he expect Angel to open up when earlier in the episode he spilled everyone problems.
● does charlie even know Val is a dangerous person?
~~~~~~~~~~~
My problems long formed:
● I get what Charlie is trying to do in this episode. She just went the wrong way about it.
She came off a bit childish for wanting to have Angel at the hotel. But I get it! She wants Angel there to help him. The problem is that Angel has a job, and he is going to work odd hours sometimes. And it is not like this fact was hidden from Charlie.
Charlie knew Angel had a job, so again, she should've done something different. Like asking Angel for work schedule to work around it. Instead of going straight to his workplace, unprepared.
● this where I came to the question, does Charlie know that Val is a dangerous person?
I mean, we, the audience, know that Angel is in the hotel to get away from Val, but does Charlie know that? Maybe Angel didn't tell her the exact reason why he signed up for the hotel?
Anyway, Charlie shouldn't have gone to Angel dust workplace unannounced. Then, after being allowed in! She kept messing around the place and bothered the workers.
I hated that, especially that scene where she kept messing with the mic guy about her hotel, like come on, girl, it not the time nor place. You came here to help Angel not promote your hotel!
● Now, after all that, she started to cry. And then, when Angel finally snaps at Husk. Her and Vaggie are like, "Husk, that wasn't very nice of you!"
And it like, "huh?" All Husk did was trying to give advice to Angel. And, of course, it just went the other way. Charlie sent Angel work place on fire!!!!! I think they both owe Angel an apology. So both of them should've gone.
After their first time
Arthur: we're lovers now!
Arthur: hell yes, now I can shower Merlin in presents and no one will find it weird!!!!
Merlin: if you so much as give me new expensive boots, I will kill you
Arthur: Lands!!! TITLES!!!
Merlin: *realises how much work that is* I've never regretted getting laid as much as I do right now
Arthur: ✨knighthood✨
But what if Merleon
Gwaine - charm and eternal flirt. Gwaine was too good at this - ease, smiles, endless confidence. he didn’t just flirt, he did it so naturally that even merlin sometimes got lost.
Gwaine:. have you ever wondered why i'm always around you?.
Merlin:. because you drink in the tavern, and then someone has to drag you out?.
Gwaine:. oh, so you care about me. and here i thought i was the one courting you.
and while Merlin was protesting, Gwaine was already throwing him his most charming smile.
At first, it's innocent stuff and Gwaine complains that it's all dull trivia and they need to start getting into the more interesting questions. Leon looks him dead in the eyes and says "Fine. Never have I ever been arrested" Literally everyone but Leon drinks.
From that point it becomes a challenge to see who's done the most outrageously criminal shit "Never have I ever been in a bar fight" "Never have I ever committed identity fraud" "Never have I ever broken someone out of the dungeons" "Never have I ever stolen from the royal vaults" "Never have I ever committed treason with the King still in the room" And Merlin. Just. Keeps. Drinking. Now it's about trying to find something Merlin hasn't done but one of the others has. The answer turns out to be "Never have I ever been banished from a kingdom"
Merlin passes out before he runs out of criminal things he's done. Magic is the only reason he's still alive the next morning after how high his blood alcohol level was.
After Merlin passes out the knight just look at each other wondering how Merlin hasn't been executed yet with all the shit he's done. Gwaine chuckles and shakes his head "Perks of being the king's mistress"
Aithusa *in her mind, holding a rabbit she caught*:I can kill you here or I can prolong your pain...
Kilgarrah *who can hear her thoughts*: Girl, what??
Aithusa *who watched Morgana torture her enemies*: Oh, mommy hunts for nutrition, just like I do :)
Aithusa clearly thinks Morgana ate her enemies.
