The art and the reference

I am heavily art blocked, but I did some lotm flavored doodles

I haven't met Merlin in the book yet, I am just enthralled by his design

LOTM DONGHUA TRAILER IS SO GOOD

A wizard without a hat was just a sad man with a suspicious taste in clothes.

Hold On. i need you to elaborate about the apollo!arthur and aphrodite!gwen. for Reasons.

sorry this was related to my sleep-drunk ramblings on astrology. which I know next to nothing about. but I was thinking about arthur = leo, the ruling planet of which is the sun, and what alice troughton said about lightining choices and arthur being "sun-coded" and historically connected to the god apollo (apparently??)

and then gwen, I think she'd be an earth sign. grounding, stable, patient, gentle. she gives me taurus vibes. and the ruling planet of this sign is venus, which is connected to aphrodite in greek mythology and!! I just love the idea of gwen being connected to the goddess of love and beauty ok.

(of course by following this train of thought, and based on my original assertion that merlin = cancer, ruled by the moon, merlin would be connected to... artemis?? which I don't buy but it's kind of funny given she was the goddess of hunting and he hated it)

Sonnet: 'Wanderer, or Odin/Merlin in the 21st Century'

It isn’t money, power, or (really) sex; it’s wisdom, knowledge, understanding, truth, the motivation from my earliest youth. So now I watch as all our dreams turn wrecks, as statesmen bluster, muscles bulge and flex, economists forecast but can’t say sooth, and life extension folks are thought uncouth– they hoard possessions, but can’t save their necks. I wandered, ragged, with a missing eye,…

No cause Annabeth’s speech to Hermes about Luke is so devastating. In this interpretation, as she recalls how Luke said he blames Hermes and hates him, it’s almost like deep down she knows.

But she’s at Arthur in BBC’s Merlin levels of denial over it and in turn blinding herself to truth, ultimately allowing for the final betrayal to sting even more. Like she has all of the pieces and refuses to put them together because of the implications.

One of my favourite underrated moments in LOTM is in Chapter 1297, when Klein as Merlin goes to Welch's grave, meets his father and offers to fulfil a wish, then the latter bitterly asks if he can return Constant City to what it was before the war. Klein works to fix the city with his miracle ability and Welch's father wakes up the next day to that sight.

I can't put it properly into words, but it's one of the moments that remain clear in my mind and make me feel deeply bittersweet.
