In Your Authurian Legends Post You Said You Think Merlin Has A Lovely Singing Voice, Do You Have Any

In your Authurian legends post you said you think Merlin has a lovely singing voice, do you have any headcanons about that? It’s my favorite headcanon that he can sing too (especially since Colin Morgan can also sing) :)

Oh for sure! I didn’t know Colin could sing too! That would have been cool to see in the show 😌😌😌

- Hunith sang often. Especially when Merlin was upset or sad. As he got older, that was mostly when he figured you were supposed to sing.

- So more often or not when someone was sad baby Merlin would just appear and start singing in an attempt to make people feel better. Will was the one who would occasionally start requesting Merlin sing while nobody was upset.

Will: hey, sing one of your songs!

Merlin: why?

Will: I’m bored

Merlin: ...but... nobody is sad?

Will: I’m going to be sad if I dont hear a song

Merlin: ....fair enough.

- Eventually Merlin would rope Will into singing with him and they made it into something of a game. Merlin would start the song and Will had to make up the lyrics for the next part and so forth.

- Singing. Magic. Like that Rapunzel type shit. Merlin discovers he can do this by accident (like he discovers most of his magic) but a good chunk of his spells seem to get more powerful when he sings. This generally only works with nature oriented magic tho.

- He can also do the thing Lady Helena (I think that was her name) aka Mary did in the first episode. Where you sing people and enchant them? Yeah - he has to be careful because sometimes that happens depending on the song.

- Like, depending on the tone/mood of the song will affect the audience. So if he sings a happy song then people end up getting really zazzed without knowing why exactly. Or a sad song might make them unbearably sad. A lullaby sends them to sleep. An angry song can cause a war.

- Also, sometimes if you closely enough, his magic makes it so you can see sound vibrations.

- Merlin doesn’t sing too much in Camelot because he’s trying his best to fit in and nobody else is really out there singing. Still, he hums under his breath a lot and whistles along with the birds.

- He also sings when he’s stressed out. This is kinda hilarious because you’ll have Merlin sprinting after a sorcerer like ‘la la la trying not to die... la la la...everything is fine...’

- However, he went back to his roots after Gwen’s dad died. Not really knowing how best to comfort her he just sang a bit until she felt better. After that she often went to Merlin when she needed cheering up and asked him to sing.

- Naturally, if Gwen knows then Elyan knew after he came to Camelot. This uhhhhhh caused some problems for Merlin lol

Elyan: ....this patrol is boring. Merlin can you sing something?

Arthur: ha! Merlin can’t sing, Elyan

Elyan: But Gwen says he sings for her all the time?

Gwaine: W H A T?! Merlin, you’ve never sang for me? What the Hell?

Merlin: um, well-

Leon: don’t be mean. maybe he’s shy

Percival: idk, Lancelot said Merlin usually sings to himself when he’s stressed

Merlin: He told you about that? Snake.

Gwaine: if anyone is a snake it’s you for holding out on us

- Thus began the months of tormenting Merlin to sing to them. They cracked him one by one. Gwaine first. Elyan second. Percival third. Then Leon.... Arthur he remained pretty stubborn with for a long time.

- In the end, Arthur catches him by accident while Merlin is brushing out the horses.

- He snuck by the stables everyday for a week afterwards to listen.

- Merlin is often one of those people who can sing along with birds like a disney princess. Sometimes he’ll chill by the window while some birds sing with him and they entire castle is entranced.

- Leon asked Merlin if he wanted to be a bard at any point and Merlin was just... so offended. So affronted. So upset. Sing for NOBLES?! What? Was he supposed to prance around and tell tales of Arthur’s victories? He thinks not. Ha! As if. If he was a bard then he would sing of how much a prat Arthur was.

- ....you can see where I’m going with this lol. Gwaine obviously jumps on this opportunity and every so often they come up with a song about how much of a prat Arthur is. Eventually they teach it to all of the knights and when it is a patrol with just the round table they’ll all sing it together while Arthur steams in the corner.

- Merlin also sings at all of their graves... Every year.

the point of being alt is to break OUT of the box

hi so i keep seeing so so so many posts about people asking if they are punk because they do x,y,z or posts asking how to look more punk or more emo or more scene, and while theres nothing wrong with asking for fashion tips, music recs, advice, etc,

PLS REMEMBER, u should wear *WHAT YOU LIKE* and listen to music that *YOU* like!!

Labels are used to describe things! we shouldn't change our tastes and preferences to fit a label. that is literally the opposite of the point of being alternative. focus on becoming yourself, then worry about applying labels after! experiment, try new things! there is no rush.

i used to ask myself "does this outfit make me look emo/scene/punk/etc enough?" and i realized bruh what am i doing. it does not matter. labels describe me, not the other way around.

life is too short to constrict yourself to any label!!!

College Advice

1. Just because you took 7 classes in high school doesn’t mean you can manage 7 classes in college. 2. Just because you woke up at 6am everyday in high school doesn’t mean you can wake up at 6am everyday in college. 3. Just because you got straight A’s in high school doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily get straight A’s in college (and that’s okay). 4. Just because your teachers in high school said they were preparing you for college doesn’t mean you’re actually prepared for college.

Unsure what the best part of the “Thor Ragnarok” snake joke is:

- Thor liking snakes

- Tiny!Thor’s instinct upon seeing a new snake to go investigate/pick it up

- Loki knowing that Thor likes snakes, and then using this information to get back at him (or possibly being completely unaware that Thor likes snakes and just assuming that a random snake on Asgard, somewhere, would make Thor curious)

- Loki’s snake plot involving: Thor is happy to see me/snake, picks me up/investigates, I turn back into a humanoid form, yell, and then stab him with some kind of knife/sword. Like not even bite him or anything and or strangle him as a snake. Just like… pretend to be a snake, then stab him as a humanoid. (to be fair, the film version is probably more like what an 6-8-year-old would plan, which… possibly makes it better?)

- Loki smiling afterward, like it’s a fond memory

- Chris Hemsworth’s delivery

- Tom Hiddleston possibly smiling because of Chris Hemsworth’s delivery/the silliness of the story

- Valkyrie’s reaction to this whole ridiculousness

- Tiny!Thor/adult!Thor possibly being more angry that Loki used Thor’s love of snakes against him than the fact that Loki stabbed him

- At least a reference to MCU!Loki turning into a non-humanoid character, which I’m pretty sure is something we haven’t seen before. Since it’s not something he’s done on-screen, and Loki has transformed a couple times (e.g., Odin, Captain America), there’s the potential that turning yourself into an animal is easier than turning yourself into a human, which is interesting, lore-wise (so more magic + more lore possibilities is neat)

- the Jormundgandr implications

i love how there's the genre of fix-it fic where the author goes into great granular detail of how our heroes manage to avoid or undo whatever character death or other unpopular choice occurred, in a way that abides by the laws of the fictional universe and definitely required a substantial plot outline, and then there are fix-it fics where the author just went "that's bullshit and didn't happen," and we as readers all go "agreed. carry on."
