I convinced my dad to watch merlin with me and here’s what he has to say

“They both have hard-ons right now.” -after Merlin and Arthur fight in s1e1

“For a land where magic is illegal, everyone fuckin does magic.”

“What a pain in the ass!” -about kilgharrah

“He has no luck with women” -about Arthur

“I like the old coot!” -about Gaius

“Oh they give each other eyes now!” -s1e4, on the first occasion of merthur eye sex

*whispers* “I love you, Arthur” -mimicking Merlin mumbling under his breath while poisoned by the mortaeus flower

“Where do they find all these pretty men?” -when Lancelot is introduced

“Oh look, someone is having fever fits again.”

“Gwen could definitely do more damage with a sword than Merlin.”

“YOU’RE TELLING ME NOBODY SAW THAT?” -one of the many times when merlin uses magic very loudly in a large crowd

“Uther’s just not very bright, is he?”

“What a cutie patootie!” -about colin morgan (he roasts me all the time for obsessing over his cute little face)

“Wow, a noogie! That’s hardcore.” -s2e9, arthur and merlin “that’s better” scene

“Well, he IS cute as a dickens.” -when Alice tells Gaius that she’s missed him, s3e9 (this one took me out)

“I asked a coworker if he’s seen this show and he asked me to describe it, so I told him that it’s about King Arthur lore but they’re teenagers and it’s incredibly homoerotic.”

Part 2

You mentioned other IF ideas you have so....can you share it with us? 👀

Defintely!

So I have mentioned it a few times but the main one is based off of Alice in Wonderland. You are the grandchild of Alice and are called back to wonderland to stop its immanent destruction. It has a sort of American Mcgee vibes with the steampunk elements.

The second is sort of inspired by the show the show the booth at the end and greek mythology. You are a deity that got sick of the mightier than thou attitudes of the rest of the gods and found yourself more vested in humanity. You become something of a wish granter. Taking humans stories as payment for their wishes granted. You are not good nor evil you simply want to hear their stories and see what price they pay. Unfortunately there is turmoil among the gods and humanity and they are calling you back.

The final one I thought about is where you are one of the most powerful magic users in the world. Only no one really knows that because your master was considered a coot by many. He trained you in the ways of old and lost magics that the councils of today could only dream of. So you live your life in retaliative relaxation until one day your peace is broken by the council of magics calling on you.

Yeah those are them! Let me know yalls thoughts! If I do go with any of these there will be way fewer romance options. Im capping out at 4 cause 7 is just too much🫠Thanks for the ask!

Favourite outfit that Daemon, Rhaenyra and Alicent wore?

Hmmmm. Honestly, fave outfit of Daemon's is the scene in Ep 1 where he's walkin' nekkid. Wish I was joking, but - um, in terms of actual clothing, I'd say anything he wears post-Episode 6? He a hot daddy in his old coot coats, lemme tell you what.

People are going to come for me for this, but I REALLY LIKED RHAENYRA'S WEDDING OUTFIT from Episode 5. I said it. The hair, the dress. It was weird, but I dig it. I didn't originally, but I sure do now. I also fucking love her black dress from Episode 8 - the neckline on that thing is UUUUNNNFNFNFNFNF.

Alicent is a slay all day, tbh. I'm a basic bitch who adores the green dress moment in Episode 5, but I also really like the vibes of her 'Catholic repentance' gown in Episode 8 (high neckline, the braided up hair, lookin' like a strict schoolmarm, etc.). VERY imposing. Total power move, absolute slay.

"This is a production quite like some of Jean-Pierre Ponnelle's productions where what has been crafted is almost inseparable from the music. You're not aware of the staging, you're not aware of the music. It feels as if this is the way it's always been." ~Joyce DiDonato on playing Cendrillon in Laurent Pelly's production

Hurray, Selah Sue, by Alice Kong

This music video for Selah Sue’s song, Hurray, directed by Alice Kong, is one of the biggest music videos I have ever worked on since the beginning of my studies. During the shooting, I was doing an internship at a company I really like. So I saw the magic tricks that were used during the shooting. All the crew was very nice by the way. I remember having to block off a street near by the studio for the bus’s scene, while she’s running after him.

One of my favourite part about the video is the fact that Selah is with a twin, she’s talking to herself. Impossible you may say, and that’s without counting the help of CGI special effects. On top of that, the singer’s understudies were very well cast, they really looked like sisters .

The set was beautiful, very colourful, like most of Alice Kong’s clips.

Directors : Alice Kong

DOP : James Coote

Production : Partizan

Song : Hurray

Artists on screen : Selah Sue

Date : 27 Aug. 2021

The Richard Jones version of Hansel and Gretel is so dark I adore it. Finally got around to renting the Met’s 2008 run of it so getting to watch it in its entirety is *chef kiss*. My favorite pants performer Alice Coote and such dark tones to show. Its disgusting but god its such a good take to it.

I do so adore the adaptations of this fairytale. I love the og fantasy, don’t get me wrong, but there is something about taking this tale and putting it to more modern settings. Instead of a gingerbread house, we have industrial kitchens and stores. We have trash littered forests and cardboard homes. Idk, just the industrial adaptions are so much more interesting to me, I guess cause of the darker settings they portray. I recently saw a performance that portrayed the forest and gingerbread house as toysets. My favorite though is the Richard Jones adaptation.

Ahh, sorry, I just adore sets and different adaptations of fairytales.

#I could talk all day about this show
