New coloring page drop bc Merlin is trending again for zero reason <3 Merlin's spellbook is here! Free to print and do what you will with it - PDF here.

Did I take a creative liberty or two? Yes. Do I have regrets? Nope! Also, yes that bird is a merlin :)

And now that I think about it... this should be a sticker, right? Idk. I think it might need to be a sticker.

Print it, color it, tag me pleeeasseee so I can reblog all the wonderful versions of this that come about!

Also, though this page is not included in the physical book, the Destiny coloring book is still available on my Etsy, but supplies are limited! There are also pdf download options of it as well. Stickers and other fun stuff here, or if you just want to say thanks, consider buying me a coffee. For ALL the free pages I've released, you can find them here!

My box is open for suggestions and ideas, so feel free to get in there and I'll see what I can do! I'm working on other pages as well (Nimueh will definitely happen) so keep your eyes peeled. I've got big plans!

Tag list (lmk if you want to be removed!) (also lmk if you want to be added!)

The Police don’t take requests;   

They say he’s just in shock. They say they called for psych. They say he specifically requested Merlin. Homicide isn’t even Merlin’s division but Arthur Pendragon is part of the country’s 1%, one of the most powerful men in history is dead, the media is in a frenzy and there is no reason for Arthur Pendragon to know his name.  [dedicated to; @ofkingsandlionhearts thanks for always encouraging my crazy au ideas!]

imagine being the cuck in ur own story for centuries and then all it takes is a magic twink with drinkable eyes and all of a sudden there’s thousands of stories where you’re the main love interest, getting it in every which way. happened to my friend arthur pendragon

That’s so lovely 🥺 because bbc merlin is technically speaking not any less or more correct than any version of the story. That’s the point of myth, every story we make about Arthur and Merlin getting their happy end is a valid story too 🥺

Babygirl getting with his father figure is beside the point too—

(but also Someone get Lancelot with his boyfriend Galehaut)

The amount of laughs I got from this was spectacular 😂😂

My Merlin Reverse Big Bang fic is up! Based on the prompt and with art by @sa-ua!!

Arthur has known for a long time that Merlin means more to him than he thought anyone, or anything, ever could. When everything he thought he knew about his manservant changes, Arthur has to decide if he really ever knew Merlin at all, or if everything he dreams of having is going to slip through his fingers.

art sneak peek (since the post yesterday was behind a mature warning):

Yeee can’t wait to read!

Merlin - Merlin’s BBC

I hate, hate, hate to be that person. But this is either AI or traced from AI

Op feel free to explain these inconsistencies, but I'm sorry... That belt buckle doesn't make sense, the branch staff is coming out of his elbow. The red shirt is over the mail under the cloak and then appears to be under the mail when it's over it. The sigil is a random scribble. The crown (?) Merges with the hair strands.

These are more drawings from the same artist (?)

I'm sorry but this is not 100% human made, maybe not even 20%

@clotpolesonly @ramblings-of-a-chaotic-neutral the people I saw this post from (this isn't in any way at all an accusation! Just people who I know will see this in case the original poster decides to block me or delete my reblog)

I'm not someone who's against AI in any possible shape or form. I think it can be a great tool to AID people with a lot of important things. It could also possibly help artists. But it should not take their place in fandom, and if you really want to use it you should DISCLAIM it at the very least.

I'm also not someone who throws random accusations either. So again, OP is perfectly free to show proof for at least some of their creative process

There it is...

The original poster fucking deleted my replies and stopped me from commenting

So I'm going to share this around a bit

Sure, they could delete this again

And block every single side blog

Like I said. I am not someone who just hates AI in all its forms

I was lenient and respectful I was towards OP, but I do not appreciate liars.

I AM someone who is dislikes AI being used in creative spaces on the grounds that it is built on theft (I could be swayed, but it still feels wrong to me) but even if I wasn’t, I absolutely do not support lying about your methods. Bad form, OP.

Finished coloring Gwen from @neptunesyellowsands beautiful coloring book!

Did this take me a full two weeks because anxiety? Yes. Am I feeling anxious posting this online? Yes. Do I feel like a small child nervously showing off something to a parent by tagging the artist? Yes. But we're doing it anyway babes the anxiety is not winning tonight

YEEEEEE omg I LOVE her!! The balance of color, the shading... and I really like the doe in blue, looks ghostly like part of her past. UGH gorgeous work and I'm so glad you enjoyed coloring it! I have anxiety too and I totally get it, drawing these helps me so much and you kicked the anxiety in the teeth with this, OP. Lovely <3

All right, y’all. Instead of April Fools, tell me 3 things you are excited for this April! No joke. XD Here are mine!

1. Working on my novel this month as part of a novel-writing challenge with my writing discord server! ✏️ I am drafting a Neolithic-era love story… Let’s hope it’s not too rocky 😂 🤎

2. The new Trousdale album is coming out on April 11, and I will be seeing them in concert! So I’ve gotta memorize all their lyrics 💪

3. Easter celebrations with my fam! 🐣

Thanks for the tag @glorf1ndel !!

This April, I’m looking forward to:

1. I’m having a long weekend with my DnD group (who are also some of my closest friends) in two weeks; we will play DnD IRL (normally we are on discord because half of us live in the northern part of our state and the other half live in the south), but we will also go to the Renaissance Faire together and hang out at the beach and at my friend’s lovely new apartment. It’s been a rough start to the year for a lot of us, so we’re really looking forward to quality time together.

2. Concurrently with that long-weekend, my husband will be hosting some of his best friends our our house, and I love them all very much and am excited to see them. One of my best friends is dating one of his best friends, so our groups will meet up for some dinner and board games. The last time we all hung out together was in a large group at our wedding, and that was such a joyful time, so I’m really looking forward to being all together again, even if just for a little while.

3. Continuing to write my farawyn fanfic! Actually putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) has been so gratifying and uplifting. I’ve had so many thoughts about this fic for so long, and it has so much emotional significance to me; I’m thrilled that I’m actually ~doing the thing~. I also now have several other ideas for one shots and other fics to write. Making them real and sharing them has brought so much joy, and I can’t wait to keep going.

So yeah, that’s my April! Happy April, all.

No pressure tags to some pals: @mooflat @h0neykitkat @confetti-cat @iwanderbecauseimlost @nycteris-g @historicalfloralbonnet & anyone else who wants to participate :)

oooh hi hi! thank you so much for the tag @lady-of-ithilien :D I see you're all set for exciting (and creative!) events for this month! Personally, I'm looking forward to:

  1. Going back to the city where I live after spending long months in my hometown. My city is at its most beautiful in the spring--long tree-lined avenues with mountains all around. I'm also looking forward to seeing my friends in person again! We've stayed in touch with online aperitifs during these long months, but I can’t wait to reunite with them.
  2. Taking a very boring but necessary exam and getting back to my thesis. I’m looking forward to the feeling of accomplishment that will come afterward (and the inevitable thesis-related anxiety, I guess, but oh well, ahahah).
  3. New books! My TBR is already long enough, but I’m always excited when I have specific books in mind that I already know I want to read (or feel inspired to pick up). On my list: Jane Eyre and The Tombs of Atuan :D

thank you so much the tag @nycteris-g !! I'm wishing you good luck on your exam and your thesis! hope everything goes well, I'm sure it will work out great! Nothing much happens in my life this time around, but personally I'm looking forward to

  1. my birthday! I have a love-hate relationship with my birthday. I get existential crisis and get really anxious when I get close to it. also my relationship with my family is..... not great, so I always celebrate it by myself and it's quite lonely. but at the same time, I like celebrating it! it remind me I survived another year. so yeah :)
  2. I decided to re-read one of my favourite books ever, one that I read only once a few years ago and it changed my life completely (it's not even thaaaaaaat good, but it is to me :) and I'll re-read it in my native language this month so I am excited about it!
  3. also my cousin is due april! it's her first born (actually from my father's side it will be the first baby of the generation) and I am so excited to meet her daughter and see my grandma turn into a great grandmother (one of her dreams in life lol).

aaaah happy early birthday @worthyprnce and congrats on the new relative on the way!

hmm I guess I’m looking forward to

  1. Finally wrapping up the swapped at birth series b/c I never expected it to get this long
  2. Def not looking forward to doing my taxes but I’m looking forward to the second half of the month when my taxes are done
  3. snuggling my cats

I will tag @saladscream @koffeinkaos and @blightowl (only if you want to!)

Ooooh good question... Thanks for tagging me, btw. 😊

So, um... I'm looking forward to:

1) Sunny weather! After what feels like months/years/ages of wind, rain and cold temperatures, we're finally beginning to see the sunshine again on a regular basis. And it's doing wonders for my mood. 😅

2) At the risk of sounding extremely shallow, I've ordered a bunch of secondhand tops online and I can't wait for them to arrive. 🤭

3) Holidays! I have a week off coming soon and I'm really looking forward to having a bit of me time. 🥹

Oh I need this rn!

1. Bought a new house, really looking forward to moving in and getting settled

2. REALLY looking forward to having a garden again so I can maybe see the sun once in a while lol

3. My bff is coming to visit next month and that’s got me so excited!
