Honestly, I don't see the point of Barbie's character for multiple reasons:

● she hasn't seen or mentioned since this episode

● We didn't even seen her reaction to the trial

● had no proper setup for her introduction

● We barely know anything about her, like how close she was with blitz

● Her relationship with her mom, dad, or fizz

Like, don't get me wrong, Barbie can be an interesting character if done right

But half the time, despite being the main character siblings and important enough that blitz track down where she was

She serves little to nothing to the plot or blitz character as a whole

Like we don't even canonically know how blitz ruined her life

a lot of people theorized that blitz burning down the circus that cause the destruction of their home/place of work

But we have no idea if these theories are true for all we know she could have care less of circus. Instead, she mad at blitz for causing the death of their mother.

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 was a serial killer.

This is a technical truth, Merlin thinks as he hears the terrified whispers of the townspeople, of knights and guards and stable boys.

"So many people have mysteriously died."

"what if we're next?"

They don't know that all the murders had been evil people, people who planned to kill their King. But it wasn't always obvious, sometimes the evidence was destroyed before Merlin could take it, other times it had been more difficult to explain to himself.

"We have to find this killer!" Arthur says at court, completely unaware that he's standing right next to him.

'A technical truth.' Merlin thinks as people applaud their king.

'Technically, being a sorcerer is the worse crime too.'

I think the downright most horrific and brutal detail in the show is that Kilgharrah actually used Merlin to make sure Arthur's death happened with the pretence of protecting him

I have a au idea.

Noodle Ninja Au

So essentially this au is built on the prospect that Kai from Ninjago look like Mk and Red Son from LMK. The idea is that years later, MK and Red Son get together (Spicynoodles) and have a child together (Who we'll call MS) Everyone is happy and stuff. Until the child reaches the age of two (human years). It is discovered that MS have both of his parents powers. How they find out? MS burns the house down by accident and another time accidentally make hair clones of himself. So naturally everyone starts freaking out. Then, Sun Wukong offers to temporarily lock some of MS's powers away, just until he reaches a certain age. Mk and The Red Son agree to this.

For a while everyone is happy. But qué some villain or something and MS is taken away to only Budda knows where. While everyone is freaking out, two people named Ray and Maya find a two year old on their door step in a separate realm called Ninjago. They decide to adopt this child seeing they can't find his parents. They rename him Kai. You can guess the rest.

It’s the fact that when enchanted!Merlin calls Gwaine filthy, instead of a hands-out, “What the hell, man?” he just turns into a kicked puppy.

…Or perhaps, more accurately, a pangolin.

WHY DIDN’T MERLIN EVER TELL GWAINE ABOUT HIS MAGIC?? I mean, like Lancelot, Gwaine would have died for Merlin. It’s pretty clear he only became a knight after Merlin encouraged him to, and he probably stuck around Camelot as long as he did because of Merlin. So why didn’t Merlin ever tell Gwaine his big secret. Gwaine would have kept this secret. He would have understood why Merlin was wary to tell Arthur. Hell, Gwaine would have protected Merlin had the secret ever come out. So why didn’t Merlin ever say anything?

It just bums me out that Gwaine never found out.

andres dumb plan hinges too much on the idea of "stolas will come save blitz because he loves him and then hold himself accountable so i can take his legions! obviously!" when theres like. no implication that anyone really knows what blitz and stolas's relationship is, or that they even care about each other, especially not when stella said, "he finally realized that filthy little beast was only using him to gain access to his grimoire", like, what about that implies that stolas would give a shit if anything happened to someone who was "using him"? thats right - it doesnt! if andres plan had been properly executed in the stupid ass way he set it up in the episode, then blitz wouldve been executed, and fuck all wouldve happen to stolas after. if anything, hed be treated like a hero who was used unfairly by some low life, who was then slaughtered on tv to remind the lower citizens of hell not to fuck with the upper crust. imagine if that had happened, forcing stolas to go back to his home by himself; no stella since they divorced, no via since shes turning 18 soon, and no blitzy, ever again. maybe they shouldve just done that tbh, that way he could take over the show completely, since thats obviously what viv wants so damn bad. (also, stolas possible redemption arc when he realizes his actions actually DO have consequences!) or, i dunno, if she had the maturity to let other people look at her 3 year old script without surrounding herself with yesman, she mightve realized that she couldve kept EVERYTHING she wanted and still had the same ending, at the price of having stolas do the bare minimum and say, "he didnt force himself onto me, i.. forced myself onto him." the ending with all the imps hating stolas would make sense (because they know hes a rapist), blitz being able to even acknowledge any care he has for stolas might make more sense if he'd even SAY what he did wrong to blitz in front of EVERYONE important in hell, being a way to make up for his manipulative behavior and him hiding his face at ozzies, especially if stolas said, "i'm so sorry, blitz. for getting you into this mess, for everything ive done to you.." after blitz says thank you when they return home. (thats just the way i'd write it, because i cannot fucking stand that blitz says, "thank you, stolas, for saving my life," when blitz, at minimum, has saved stolas's life 3 TIMES AND HAS NEVER GOTTEN A THANK YOU ONCE BEFORE THIS POINT and was even INSULTED over saving him the best he could, because blitz needed to be there for his DAUGHTER first like a good dad, which is obviously something stolas has never comprehended since his sacrifice and willingness to die for his former forced sex slave in mastermind proves that, but stolas saves blitz twice, the second time being when hes holding himself accountable for his own actions that nearly got his "lover" killed to begin with? oh, heres a gold star, a thank you from the guy you forced to have sex with you to keep food on the table for his family, and a free imp to wash you just like when you were 12 i mean a totally not trauma bonded bf!)

Honestly, anon, interesting points all around! I didn't even think about all you said before you mentioned it.

Now, having blitz died is a very interesting idea

I mean, it would be very cool to see how each character reacts to his death, like having loona experience her sadness by turning it into anger and having millie and moxxie grieving with each other the best they can.

It would also be very interesting to see stolas hitting the deep end as he realized how his life is falling apart

I could see stolas trying to reach out to everyone blitz knew, and nobody wanted to do anything with stolas

From then on, the series would follow stolas as he deals with everything

.....honestly, I'm not even surprised 😑

it’s a TRAGEDY that we never got acknowledgement of gwaine knowing about merlin’s magic, but it’s ALSO a tragedy that we never got gwaine nOT knowing about merlin’s magic but still being a ride or die anyway with ZERO explanation needed to fully commit to whatever lie the situation called for

merlin, limping up, covered in blood, still holding a knife: “listen, if anyone asks, i need you to say that i was with you last ni-” 

gwaine: “we fucked last night until dawn, got it” 

“n-no, you can just say we w-” 

“it was tender but passionate, and you said thank you at the end”
