IVAN you ASS
TILL LOVED YOU YOU DIPSHIT
IT JUST WASNT THE LOVE YOU WANTED YOU DELUDED, SELFISH PIECE OF SHIT (AFFECTIONATE BUT DISAPPOINTED)
like i suspected from the beginning there was no way till didnt feel anything towards ivan, like just look how close they were as kids, you wouldnt let someone you dont like get that close to you this image gives me life
BUT ALSO LIKE ivan all but says that he KNOWS THIS, and DOESNT CARE
as selfish as it is, he wants till to love him the way he wants to be loved- he wants till to be as devoted to him as he is to till, and thats never going to happen
he sees sua and mizi and literally wants what they have, and when he realizes he'll never get that he gives up. he deludes himself into thinking till doesnt care about him at all because maybe thats easier than knowing he does care about you, just not as much as you do him
or maybe it was just so it was easier to do what he had to do in round 6. maybe he just needed to convince himself he wouldnt hurt him so he could be selfish and keep him alive, not for tills sake, but for his own
AND DONT JUST THINK ILL IGNORE THOSE MATCHING RED EYE DOTS ISTGGSJDKSJDLSKK
"HE NEVER SAW ME" MY ASS, YOUR EYES ARE LITERALLY REFLECTED IN HIS EYES

Rodrigo Beast florist of metal: Let me see, if I understand, she
Rodrigo Beast florist of metal: Was it a fucking dog with a horn that was on fire?
Jaune: Hm
Rodrigo Beast florist of metal: So when you left fairytale land, that dog turned into this!
Jaune: Yeah
Rodrigo Beast florist of metal: That's a Japanese thing
Riccardo The demonic saint: Begin
Rodrigo Beast florist of metal: This can only be Japanese, there's no other explanation, just look at her
Jaune: I don't see anything much
Rodrigo Beast florist of metal: She can only have come from a Japanese, because she's blonde, ok she has heterochromia but one of her eyes is blue, she has big breasts, a criminal ass, she's 190 tall! She's got a six pack! Thighs the size of Jaune's head! Plus she's a perfect wife! Do you really think she could have come from a North American!
Jack Prince of the Eighth Circle of Hell: But American comics have always had beautiful women
Rodrigo Beast florist of metal: Yes, I can't deny that! Have you ever seen one like this
Jack Prince of the Eighth Circle of Hell:....................... OK you win
Jaune: What is a Japanese?
Rodrigo Beast florist of metal: A
Ken Guardian of the Fire Gates: * His oni face changes to an Asian human face *
Jaune: He reminds me of Ren * He reminds me of Ren *
Rodrigo Beast florist of metal: He's more Chinese than Japanese, Asian people share very similar characteristics, you can tell the difference between a Japanese and a Chinese person
Neo: " Do you have a problem with Japanese? "
Akin, The one whose spear pierces the stars: He hates Japanese

Riccardo The demonic saint: I want you to leave me out of it, what you do between four walls is trouble

Okay okay thinking about it, really thinking about it. My post from the other day (here) I said "you see him slip into this version of himself that is hardly recognisable, even when you compare him to his characterisation in S4" talking about S5 Merlin.
And then I really thought about, okay but what if say S1 Merlin was put into S5 Merlin's shoes, would he do any different? Would he?
Honestly, think about it.
Let's take him at the end of S1, where he was ready to give up his life for Arthur completely to save him. I mean sure he did that in S1Ep4, and tried to do it in S1Ep11, but Ep13 is where it really hits. He said goodbye after all.
This is a Merlin that was ready to tell Arthur about his magic, but was locked out of the possibility after Will lied as he died to protect him.
This is a Merlin who already tried to kill Mordred. Or well, let him die really. Not so much kill.
So let's look at lines from S1EP8 about Mordred dying vs Arthur dying, shall we? ...
"Would you let something terrible happen if it meant you'd stop something even worse happening in the future?"
"One of them's bad, really bad. And the other, it's...unthinkable."
"For once, you don't have to worry. I'm going to do nothing."
I cut out Gaius's replies because Merlin's lines are more important here. The 'something terrible' and the one that's 'bad, really bad' refer to letting Mordred be executed.
Meanwhile the 'something even worse' and 'it's unthinkable' refer to Arthur's death in the future.
He decides to do nothing as we know, he decides to let Mordred die, right up until Mordred pleads with him through telepathy.
That's the S1 Merlin we're dealing with.
Maybe if you took him from Ep1 or pre-S1 yeah he'd act differently, but S1 Merlin is as much defined by Arthur's impending death as S5 Merlin is.
The only difference is between them, S1 Merlin has destiny propelling him forward just a little more than S5 Merlin does. Whether by love or sheer dedication, S5 Merlin is even prepared to push aside his own freedom to save Arthur's life, just to condemn Mordred to death.
Would S1 Merlin do any different?
No, no I don't think he would. Not if he saw the vision, not if he saw Arthur fall.
S5 Merlin is defined by what he saw in the pool, he's defined by seeing what he believes is Arthur's death (not yet knowing he would survive for days after acquiring that wound)
If S1 Merlin, or even S2, 3, or 4 saw that same vision? I don't think they would do any differently.
Maybe he had more hope earlier on, sure, but that would be missing the way that S5 Merlin hopes. He tells both Mordred and Finna that it "won't always be like this". He hopes for freedom as much as S1 Merlin does, he's just more prepared to prioritise Arthur.
But isn't that what he's always done? S2, when he struggles to lie, but still does lie to Arthur about Morgause and his mother - He's thanked for reminding Arthur that sorcerers are evil.
The way he acts just before telling the lie is so similar to his expressions when he's about say "There can be no place for magic in Camelot" in S5Ep5.
That's the thing. I know I bang on about how S5 Merlin is so much darker and he is, he grew up after all. But I truly think if S1 Merlin saw that vision, nothing would have changed.
Nothing. Not even his actions with the Disir. Why would he, if there's a chance to try and kill Mordred Merlin always took it. Or tried to as much as he could.
S2 Merlin, put in S5 Merlin's shoes, might even edge closer to murder, that man tripped that kid up in the hope that two guards would kill him, and instead watched as Mordred killed the guards instead.
What, Merlin was innocent back in earlier seasons? That boy, that man, he was never innocent, man was down to murder from his very first day in Camelot.
So yes, S5 Merlin has ten years give or take of saving Arthur and setting aside his freedom, and that did indeed darken him and change him and mould him, but S1 Merlin already had enough experience that nothing would change.
Merlin was always going to condemn Mordred, he barely knew him early on after all, and later, he already had the knowledge of the vision.
Let's not forget that in S5, Merlin says he likes Mordred, but that he can't ignore what he saw. That he can't save the life of a man destined to kill Arthur, that he can't ignore what the dragon said. That Finna was right, he cannot trust Mordred, not after all he's been told.
I don't think any Merlin could do any differently if he was told all that, and shown Camlann.
There's no such thing as an innocent Merlin, not when it comes to Arthur's life. We can say he became too blinded, but in S4 he killed Agravaine, used dark magic to lock away Morgana's magic for a time, and took away Arthur's free will. S3 is a little harder, but he did command Kilgharrah against his will. S2 Merlin is easy, he tried to kill Mordred, and morbidly held Morgana as she was dying to the water he poisoned. S1 Merls is just people dying left and bloody right. Nimueh, god should we ever forget about the way he killed Nimueh. She fucking exploded.
All this to say, S5 Merlin didn't abandon his values because he already did that when they all first met Mordred. He just became more and more set, darker and darker over time. But if any version of himself was given that vision by the Vates, it's over, it's so over, because that's all it took.
To see Arthur fall, that's all it took. It's all it would ever take.

I can’t decide if Fourteen’s final line is going to be “Allons-y!” or some variation of “I’m ready to go.” But either way, I think it’s going to be about acceptance.
I mean, allons-y is Ten and Fourteen’s motto and literally means “let’s go,” which is ironic, since it originated from a Doctor whose fatal flaw was his hubris: trying to prolong the inevitable, not accepting that it was his time to die, and becoming way too arrogant in his power. So having Fourteen’s final line be allons-y would be a fun callback to the silly side of the Doctor, while also keeping that message in there.
But the impact that “I’m ready to go” would have… So far we don’t know the reason why the old face was brought back, but we do know that, through Twelve, the Doctor has used an old, familiar face as a lesson before. In this case, I think the lesson is one of acceptance and being ready to move on from everything that happened when the Doctor was Ten. “I don’t wanna go” —> “I’m ready to go.” A perfect conclusion to the Ten/Fourteen story, finally giving us (and the Doctor, Donna, & co.) some closure.
Okay, now putting it out to the people:
