yk there's a lot of talk about the way merlin is practically a god but lives as an unassuming servant, and seeing this surprises druids/other magic users. i wanna see kind of the same thing happen to arthur with the people of his kingdom. we know arthur so intimately, from merlin's pov, but i wanna see him as a living legend. stories of his valor spreading across land, blown out of proportion and missing details. “the prince slayed the great dragon and gifted its head to the king!” “some say the goddess blessed him when he was born, when she took the queen back. how else does one survive an attack by a questing beast?” “he held out his hand and the sword stuck in solid stone flew to him! iwan says meredith’s aunt saw it herself!” “the word has come, king arthur defeated annis’ champion—a giant of a man!” old men discussing arthur’s policies, comparing them with those of previous rulers, and being glad that it's him on the throne “finally, a good fucking king.” people having faith that their ruler is generous and fair and can be approached in times of need, and having the comforting knowledge that he would do his best to help because that's what he did with the other village last year! young boys dreaming to join his army and young girls daydreaming about a fairy tale ending with him (or vice versa, obv). just... arthur of his people.
what I'm saying is i want an outsider pov character study of arthur pendragon king of camelot. hope that helps

Raine really ran out the SAME afternoon they became a Coven Head to do rebel stuff.
It's been like, maybe a couple hours since Raine utterly botched their live induction ceremony and they're out in the middle of the city square in their usual outfit with only a face mask to hide behind, making a grand speech with no alteration to their voice that was, again, MAYBE A COUPLE HOURS AGO heard on live crystal ball for everyone watching to hear.
Given that the ceremony took place at the castle, that means the moment Raine ran off screen they probably hiked back to Bonesborough then just, immediately made a rebellion declaration in the city square. No breaks, promotion straight to the big city to cause problems.
I love you Raine but also bestie what are you doing.
You know Darius was just chilling in his swag abomination themed pjs when he first heard about the attacked raids like, "Titan, there are reckless idiots out this early?" *sees a person that is extremely obviously Raine* "OH TITAN IT'S OUR IDIOT." and then rushes to change before getting Eber to try and salvage the situation.

Thinking on my tags on the prev post more and. Yeah I think I'm an unapologetic fan of Fuuta. I'm in too deep. If it turned out he DID directly kill that person with his own hands, and is only scared because he got found out, I feel like I'd just pinch the bridge of my nose and sigh in disappointment and that'd be the extent of it.
I'd probably change my vote for more context for something like that, but even then like. He kinda registers as such a non-threat to me it's almost laughable? When compared to some of the others who killed multiple times and would do it again no hesitation (Haruka, Shidou, Kotoko, at least One of Mikoto), or those who only killed Once so far but don't seem put off by it (Muu, Amane) like. Idk!
Fuuta one-kill Kajiyama, who in a super badass song about justice, is seen Openly shaken when real blood is spilt, and the mv ends with him cowering under a blanket from. The repercussions? The guilt? People on Mitter (Milgram Twitter) dogpiling HIM? A mix of all of the above?
Fuuta Kajiyama, who is so all bark and no bite he tries and FAILS to even remotely intimidate Es, to the point they're more than comfortable pointing out (read:taunting him on) all the signs that he's freaking out and trying to hide it?
Fuuta Kajiyama, who pre-first trial results was paying extra attention to Haruka, and in a most likely 'he's confused but he's got the spirit' play, was Trying to talk to Es on the others's behalf for what the fuck was going on? (Which even if it was for his own damn self is an interesting angle to play, moreso given it's kinda transparent if so to a pathetic degree)
I'm supposed to look at this man and not see him for the pathetic 20yo meow-meow he is?
He could be entirely guilty of the murder, by his own hands. But I can guarantee you even if he only regrets it from a punishment standpoint, he was so scared shitless by his own actions he wouldn't do it again even if he did get off scot free, moreso now that Kotoko's given him a dose of punishment anyways.
So he's a favorite, if only because he's such a non-threat despite trying to act tough it's pitiable lmao
