Dragon Merlin Au

"To base characters after an animal isn't a bad idea. Especially if its a demon. But vivs designs handle that theme poorly, since it's sometimes difficult to recognize what kind of animal the character is supposed to be. (prime example: alastor, vaggie, mimzy)"

I kind of wish Viv would stop changing the lore on things

Like, don't get me wrong, changing lore can help show good development of your writing skills from where you started.

What I'm saying is that Viv has a habit of changing lore or a character base off a popular ship or theory. Not to mention, she has another habit of spilling too much about her story.

Take Sir Pentious and Cherry Bomb being in a relationship as an example. They were never supposed to be in romantic relationship, instead Sir Pentious was supposed to have feelings for Rosie.

However, the fandom started to ship Sir Pentious and Cherry together, Viv changed it so Sir Pentious would have feelings for Cherry.

I just wished altogether that Viv would step back from the fandom just a bit, so she can hopefully stop the need to change the lore of Helluva or Hazbin to please the fandom.

After their first time

Arthur: we're lovers now!

Arthur: hell yes, now I can shower Merlin in presents and no one will find it weird!!!!

Merlin: if you so much as give me new expensive boots, I will kill you

Arthur: Lands!!! TITLES!!!

Merlin: *realises how much work that is* I've never regretted getting laid as much as I do right now

Arthur: ✨knighthood✨

How do you feel about the new episode

Honestly, I didn't plan to watch the new episode today since I'm both sick and busy.

But tiktok spoiled Millie pregnancy for me, and right now, I'm debating actually watching the episode to see what else is going to happen

Ok so i love Merlin magic reveals but theres just something special about Merlin Dragonlord reveals

The ones where Arthur finds out and suddenly realises "HolyshititoldMerlinthathisownfatherwasntworthatearwhyishestillatmysideimahorribleperson-"

And i've seen several versions of this reveal and what the responses would be

But i haven't seen one i had in my mind

Just imagine this: Merlin grows his hair out ("no, gwaine, im not copying your hairstyle stfu-") and grows a beard

And Arthur thinks it's hot that he looks oddly familiar but can't place it

He tells tells Merlin this and Merlin sits there in cold sweat thinking Arthur is connecting him to Dragoon or something

It takes Arthur a week (A whole week!) to figure out who bearded Merlin reminds him of

They’re sitting around the fire on their way to a quest or whatever

And Arthur looks at Merlin who's attempting to carve what looks like a misformed dog from a piece of wood when Arthur suddenly gets flashbacks to that time The Great Dragon escaped and they went in search for the last Dragonlord.

Balinor. Merlin looks like Balinor.

And now that he sees it he can't unsee it. It's uncanny how much they look alike. Almost like father and son...

And that is how Arthur realises that he never defeated The Great Dragon and that Merlin is in fact the last dragonlord and "shitshitshitmyfatherruinedhisfatherslifeanditoldhimnottocryaboutit-"

Ignoring the fact that Uther believed that Dragonlords were too close to magic Arthur confronts Merlin about it, and promises him it's alright, it will all be alright. And Merlin can barely get out a word before Arthur hugs him, both of them pretending that Merlin totally isnt crying.

Arthur takes any books on dragons and dragonlords he can find and gives them to Merlin.

(Bonus points if Merlin lets Arthur come along the next time he summons Kilgarrah for help and Arthur promptly kisses Merlin after hearing him use that voice because 'holyshithessohotwhattheactualfuck')

((Even more bonus points if they adopt Aithusa together))

Merlin on his most respectful day.

Merlin: Hey, mom, can I throw away these old things that no one is eating?

Hunith *distracted*: You can, dear.

Merlin: okay, you heard it, Gaius, let's go.

Gaius: 😮

Hunith: No, no, Merlin, wait, son, not that old man🤣

Merlin: Oh, okay then, and can I throw away that old man over there? *points to Uther*

Uther: 😡

Arthur and Morgana: You can throw him away!

You know what weird? There are a lot of characters from HB and HH who have daddy/parental issues.

Hh:

Charlie, Angel, Alastor, and Abel

Hb:

Moxxie, Blitz, Octavia, and Stolas

Honestly, I feel like in season 2 or at some point of Hazbin Hotel, it gonna be revealed that both Alastor and Angel have daddy issues or parental issues.

And it doesn't help the leaks reveal that Abel has daddy issues as well.

(There are probably more characters that have parental/daddy issues that I probably forgot to include.)

But as a whole, the amount of daddy issues or parental issues as a whole is just really repetitive.

And it is not like the show writers are doing anything different. They always villianize the mom and make the dad a sympathy uwu twink or it the opposite where the mom was a total angel while the dad was just horrible.

It always the same, like the only parents that we have seen that have been good to their kids and to each other has been Millies parents.

S3 Predictions for Helluva? Critical critiques? Theory's?

Here are my mediocre predictions:

- Stoliz censored sex scene.

- the most stalest love triangle known on earth and Hell: Vassago/Blitzø/Stolas.

- Stolas singing and crying about Blitzø, Vassago, and Octavia. The usual.

- Stoliz kiss scene.

- Vassago and Stolas kiss, Stolas regrets it later on.

- Octavia being unhappy, missing Stolas, and realized her mistake.

- The standom still hating on Octavia and hope she dies.

- DHORKS kidnapped Stolas and use their pope army to overthrow Hell.

- DHORKS (agent 1 and 2) get killed. Government moves on and pretend that nothing happened.

- Humans on earth are still dumb.

-IMP never gets human disguises.

- Striker backstory of a blue blood similarly looking like Stolas who killed his friends and family.

- Striker and Stella become a thing.

- Striker kills Andrealphus.

- Cherubs end up homeless again and potentially trapped in Hell.

- Millie gets pregnant with twins.

- Crimson kidnap said babies and Moxxie finally takes the win.

- Millie and Moxxie have an argument and Moxxie is like “we are lethal team, we do everything together, and I love you.” Convincing Millie to have kids.

- Stolas gets custody of Octavia and Stella is pissed.

- Stoliz argument about Octavia.

- Barbie Wire makes a return somehow and Blitzø talk about the past and pisses off.

- Loona is mute for a few episodes.

- Loona is actually decent and doesn’t act like a mega bitch.

- Loona goes to another party.

- The bare minimum: Loona episode.

- Oh yeah, the Stella backstory but the stans still hate her and focus on Stolas.

- Stella’s backstory isn’t really a backstory but like a compilation video, acting the audience knew what they were getting into.

- Loona and Vikki become a thing.

- Seven Deadly sins with celebrity voice actors.

- Bel and Leviathan are chill and have a musical number.

- Glitz/Glam are secretly the daughters of Leviathan.

- Mammon/Striker/Crimson/Stella team up.

- The status quo reset and IMP goes back to killing people.

- Buckzo (Blitzø’s father) returns; Blitzø and him fight. Blitzø tells him, he ruined his life.

- More self loathing from Blitzø.

- Vassago bootlicking Stolas.

The general idea of this story was that Merlin came of age and as a tradition of his kingdom at that age, all the rulers of neighboring countries would send their prince/princess to ask for the hand of Merlin. Because the rulers of the kingdom of Merlin are dragonlords and sorcerers, and therefore the neighboring countries want this alliance.

Since the kingdom of Camelot is against magic, nobody expected Prince Arthur to show up, but he did.

Alone.

Balinor is suspicious, Hunith is supportive, and Merlin doesn’t want to marry.

Chaos begins. 😂

This was supposed to be for an event but the writer dropped out so I’ll post it like this 😌

My other Merlin art

I really wished Leon and Merlin interacted more

This isn’t even really just because i ship Merleon, they just would’ve made a really good duo.

The few interactions we have with them show that they do get along very well.

We see leon seen ruffling Merlin’s hair and even joke around with him. He fully trusts Merlin and doesn’t think of him to do anything wrong.

I feel like the cup of life or maybe even Kilharrahs attack would’ve been good points for them to get closer, it would’ve given them something to connect on (mainly on Merlin’s end, unless he were to reveal his magic and all that) or at least something to talk about.

Their relationship has changed from when they first met to there last few interactions.

After the “Lamia” episode we should’ve seen some type of acknowledgement of what Leon and the others did because Leon did physically hurt Merlin, even if it was under a spell.

Leon shoving Merlin around did seem like a parallel to when he did it in “the sins of the father” but the difference was that back then he did it on his own accord.

Leon has obviously changed since then, and Merlin knows that, so it hurt him more to see him revert back to that.
