another fic prompt cause i’m unhinged
in a closed council meeting w no servants (merlin as court sorcerer and next to arthur), arthur starts talking about how he thinks they shouldn’t called servants “servants” because he thinks it’s offensive/derogatory etc. and proposes they call them assistants because that’s what they do; assist.
“with all due respect, my lord,” merlin’s hard stare focused on the king, “that’s bullshit.”
“excuse me?” arthur, shocked by merlin’s comment, but more so by his language. he’d never heard merlin curse in their ten years of knowing each other.
“maybe you’ve forgotten, but i was a servant. your servant.”
“… yes, i’m aware.”
“servants do everything for their masters and more. we are below every other person living in this castle, we have to do whatever anyone tells us to do. we don’t assist. assistance implies we help with a task you are already working on. servitude means we do what we are told, no questions asked, no objections-“
“present company excluded,” merlin hears arthur mutter under his breath and fixes his glare back to his king.
“with only help offered by the occasional kind servant who has no urgent chores. which is very, very rare. we do the work for everyone in the castle, almost never sleep more than a few hours, before waking earlier than everyone else and do it all over again. we sleep even less if we have two jobs and also take care of secret, magical threats to the kingdom and its king.
“so no. we do not assist. we are not assistants. we serve. as servants.”
merlin catches his breath as he glanced around the table, everyone’s expressions ranging from annoyed to shocked to guilty and contemplative.
arthur absorbs every single detail that merlin had revealed. he felt impossibly guilty that not only did merlin do so much for him with no recognition and no rest, but that merlin had spoken as if he was still a servant. did he still feel that way? did people still treat him that way?
“so,” arthur begins quietly, resolving to speak to merlin about that later, “what would you suggest we do instead?”
merlin considers his question for a moment, finally calm after reliving his struggles of the last decade.
“make their lives easier,” merlin catches the confused faces of the council members. “hire more servants so you can give everyone days off without shortages and the chores won’t be spread so thin, increase wages slightly, the crown can afford it without tax increase,” at this, merlin makes sure he looks arthur and all the stuck-up noblemen in the eye.
“but most importantly,” merlin ensures he has everyone’s attention so his voice is truly heard. “be kind and protect them. servants do everything the nobles cannot, this castle would not stand without them. servants cannot protect themselves from visiting noblemen and women whose views are different from camelots. our servants happiness and safety should always be a priority.”
finally, merlin meets arthur’s gaze once again. he expects shock or maybe even anger, but all he sees is pride and adoration.
“it seems we all have a lot to think about,” arthur speaks like a king and merlin is enchanted (ironic). “council is dismissed.”
later, arthur asks merlin about his time as a servant, why he spoke as if he still was one, how people treated him now, etc
and if a few months later, the servants in the castle were happier than ever, well, everyone else was happier because of it.
aka merlin gets to be a bamf and school nobles on class issues while arthur is in awe

Not having ideas killed me. But I found an idea. A Mug of Inspiration (write different prompts on paper and mix them all up in a mug. Pretty creative, i know)
And each time, I take two prompts out and draw a mixture of them. The prompts I included:
Oc art
Drawing over irl pic
Art challenge
Vanilla and her crew (main characters of Pink Verse)
Furry art (i mean... i already draw anthro animals?)
Food/drink
Horror art
Colorpick from something (poster, screenshot, etc)
Monochrome/ achromatic
Hawaii part II
Dsmp
Meme redraw
Gore art
Pink Verse is general
Fanart for a hyperfix
Angst
Terraria (my fav game)
An aesthetic
The Beatles
Based on a song lyrics
Mythology
Gift for someone
Each member of tally hall separately
Apeshit color pallet
Geometry Dash
My sonas
Glass Animals
Dave Bayley specifically
Fantasy/magical
Cyberpunk/dystopian
Bacta tanks
These are all based on my interests, and I will post the arts and the prompts. Be patient, fellow Aquatics :D!

You need at least one character that is afraid of fire to which the fear has to come up at least once in their narrative.

“How generous.” Was this a Jedi’s mercy that he had heard so much about or arrogance? It didn’t matter to the prince either way, he would throw down his blade for no man. He tapped his fingers along the hilt of the ancestral sword still sheathed on his hip, the smirk on his lips giving away only his own conviction. “And if I don’t? Tell me, what will happen? Will you attempt to strike me down? I thought you lot were above such brutish behavior.” His sardonic words are sneered out, his smirk having fallen into a much more calculating expression.

Duke, new to the family, awkwardly entering the kitchen where various members of the Waynes are hanging out/baking/drooling over the baking: Uh… random question, is Tim dating someone?
Steph, all her training focused on stealing baked goods: oh yeah he’s got a boyfriend, why?
Duke, just wanted a book, utterly disgusted: I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t outing him if I told you he’s currently defiling the library.
Jason, slamming down a bowl of brownie batter: he’s fucking WHAT-
