That's basically what happened right
And thats on PERIODT. Muscle Merlin just hits diff; i can practically hear half of merlin tumblr moaning just at the sight of him
🔪 he can have a little violence as a treat
I'm rewatching the episode, and Belos is SO deeply fuckedupedly religious, holy. This is ALL about Institutionalized Christianity. No wonder Disney cancelled this show. Promising myself to not make this too long so here's some quick points:
Humans are born into sin, inherently sinful and must spend their lives repenting for their nature (simply by being 'witches' he probably believes there is no such redemption for the inhabitants of the Isles anyways).
Your soul will be doomed to the ashes of hell if you don't repent now. Belos probably saw the 'devil' in his brother and thought he was doing a service of god to kill him.
Remember we are dealing with The Demon Realm. Belos probably believes he is trapped inside some kind of hell. The Titan is the BI's version of God, and he just repeats the rhetoric he's internalized to make it digestible for the citizens here.
He literally thinks he is a saviour and all of the carnage is worth it because he is ridding the world from the influence of the demon realm; which I am sure is very intentionally a society free of homophobia and racism, things that have been largely installed by Christianity and religion.
I might go so far as to suggest that Hunter's grooming by Belos (which doesn't have to be explicit in that way) is probably in reference to the proliferation of grooming done by priests, often with the excuse of this is 'how god wants it' / 'the titans plans'.
Arthur, bitten by the Questing Beast: If I die, how much will you miss me?
Merlin, rolling up his sleeves to fight Nimueh: It's cute you think death can get you out of this relationship.
“will isn’t perfect, he was mean to-“
enough! who cares? will byers could team up with vecna and destroy hawkins for all i care and i’d still worship him. god bless.
bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements
why would you say that
I love it when people use the "Merlin accidentally makes the whole castle fall in love with him but Arthur just acts completely the same" trope/idea. Idk why it's just one of my favorites.
mickey running away when he and ian are confronted by the cop in s10 is so funny. not just because of the obvious comedy of mickey immediately hopping a fence when a cop so much as speaks his name, but for the fact that he completely ABANDONS his literal boyfriend???? what was the thought process, leave ian to be arrested or brought in for questioning while you make a run for it LIKE GIRL WHERE ARE U GOING!!! i like to think that if ian had actually went in for questioning that very moment he'd return at like. dinner time to see mickey casually eating at the table and would give him the world's biggest glare and cold shoulder. mickey my stupid little criminal (affectionate)
