Doctor Who + Skulduggery Pleasant Quotes (4/?)

The writing on the Adventures of Merlin astounds me constantly. Like. A goblin possesses Gaius and licks gold. Fart jokes are treated as relevant comedy. We’re supposed to believe that no one sees Merlin do magic in broad daylight, everyday, when we literally see his eyes flash and a sound effect plays. But then.

But then Uther dies on Arthur’s birthday.

You might not get it yet. You might not know why that’s insane. I’ll tell you. The significance of that event is that Igraine died in childbirth. Arthur’s birthday is already a reminder of his dead mother. A woman who died for his birth. And now his father dies, signifying Arthur’s ascent to King.

A rebirth. Once again forged in the blood of his kin, Arthur Pendragon is borne of death.

A day that has forever been bloodied is now drowning in red, and it has been and will always be treated as a celebration.

What were they on???? That they could waffle between some of the cringiest takes I’ve ever seen, and some of the most poignant symbols in modern storytelling. I simply don’t understand.

My little head canon for Terzo’s Resurrection AU is that because he bleeds gold ichor from his gold gilded throat scar when experiencing negative emotions, people in the ministry start calling him the “Clergy’s Treasure.” Some mean it with reverence, as it’s a gift from the dark lord. 

The Clergy, though, it’s their way of reminding Terzo that he is just a trophy for them now. He has no power, no influence. He’s no longer papa, but a trophy brought back from Copia’s victory.

Current mood: sitting in my room at 4 am depressed af because Skyrim and Tamriel aren't real and I can't live there.

Based on this post by @thecyndimistuff that I couldn’t get out of my head. Not sure when or if I’ll get to finish this since uni is starting to take over my life again, so have this WIP in the meantime! :)

i experience the full spectrum of human emotion on my commute to work when listening to ghost
