Strangegardendelusion - ◇ 👋🏻 ◇

the signs + bedtime

First I wanted to say hello and tell you that I love your works. They really have me on the edge of my seat every time I read them.

Second. Can you imagine that Merlin, in some new alternative universe, for some reason, upon arriving in Camelot, arrives with a baby? It's all still a Merthur ending, it should be noted.

Like, we know that Merlin was already a bit of an outcast in the village for the reason that nobody knew who his father was and even more so because strange things were always happening around him.

The situation gets much worse when he finds a crying baby in the middle of a burnt tent near the village.

Will and his mother try to help him for a while, but with the visits of the evildoers to the village becoming more and more frequent, Merlin and the baby have no choice but to go to Camelot.

And so the adventures begin!

Only now Arthur wonders if they can make crowns for babies, because he is willing to marry Merlin and legally adopt the baby as his own.

And Morgana… well, she and Gwen enjoy dressing up the baby in all the clothes from her old dolls. Not to mention that she notices that by taking naps with the baby she no longer has nightmares.

The knights become, in some way or another, glorified nannies. The servants and maids must chase after a baby who never stops causing mischief in the castle.

And Merlin just wants to survive colic season and potty train his baby… and everything would be easier if there weren't a murderer or a resentful wizard trying to kill Arthur every 3 minutes.

First, thank you so much for the compliments! 🥹🤧❤️

About the concept. I love it! I don't think going to Camelot to live would be Merlin or Hunith's first option for a baby that can't control their magic at all. So I firmly believe Hunith would send Merlin with the baby there so Gaius can take them to a druid camp so they could take refuge there.

The problem is, before Gaius can do so, Merlin is made the prince's personal manservant. Merlin can't exactly deny the king and he does need the money to take care of his baby so he decides to stay to Gaius dismay. Gaius and Merlin try to keep the baby hided at first so they take turns taking care of her (in my mind is a her) in Gaius' tower in secret. It works out for some weeks but then the plague (Nimueh's Afanc) happens and Arthur searches Gaius' tower.

Arthur: (enters Merlin's room) Merlin: (running inside) Arthur, wait! Baby: (sitting on the bed, looks up at Arthur and gives a cute giggle) Arthur: (Turns to Merlin slowly) Merlin? Merlin: Yeah? 😅 Arthur: Why is there a baby in your bed? Merlin: (in panic, shouts the first thing that comes to his mind) She is mine! Arthur: ... Arthur: What? 😧 Merlin: (repeats more quietly but more firmly) She is mine. (runs to hold her up and embraces her) She is my daugther. Arthur: (thinking) But... but he is so young. (says) Where's the mother? Merlin: (with pain as he remembers the burnt tent) She passed away. Arthur: (his heart hurting for Merlin) I'm so sorry. But Gods Merlin, why didn't you tell me? I wouldn't have given you so many chores if I knew... (thinking) And I almost sacked you. I almost sacked a single father with a baby in arms! (says) And why the hell are you hiding her? Merlin: I... wasn't sure if I could keep her. Arthur: Of course you can keep her! What kind of master do you think I am? Knight x: (from outside) Sire? Arthur: (shouts back) In a minute! (to Merlin) What's her name? Merlin: Brigitta. Arthur: (repeats softly and smiles) Brigitta.

From then on, Arthur doesn't give Merlin as many chores and raises his salary considerably. And then everybody else finds out about Briggitta and go "I've only met Brigitta for a day and a half, but if anything happened to her, I would kill everyone in this room and then myself".

Some events would change, obviously, and some would remain the same but with a new perspective. I don't think Merlin would have time to make Lancelot a fake seal, for example, having to look after Brigitta and all. I can imagine Lancelot becoming Brigitta's first unnofficial babysiter, then Arthur makes it official so poor Lancelot has a salary and a place to stay in Camelot. The Poisoned Chalice episode would remain the same, except Arthur would be more in panic mode and desperate because MERLIN HAS A DAUGHTER! BRIGITTA CAN'T LOSE HER FATHER TOO!

I think it would be The Beginning of the End where Arthur and Morgana find out about Brigitta's magic and Merlin's magic. Not because they discovered her, surprisingly, but Merlin decided to tell them all the truth about her and himself after seeing how they saved Mordred. Also, since Merlin saw Brigitta's possible future in Mordred, he wants to leave Camelot too to keep her safe. Screw all what the dragon told him about destiny, his daugther comes first.

So Merlin and Brigitta are about to leave with Mordred with the druids. They are having a heartfelt goodbye with Arthur, who scorted them there, but then...

Brigitta: (cries very loudly in Merlin's arms and the earth starts shaking a bit) Merlin: I know, I know, baby, but we have to go. Brigitta: (cries more loudly and extends her little arms to Arthur) Arthur: (barely containing his tears) I'll miss you too, Biddy. But this is the best for you- Brigitta: ATHU! 😭 Arthur: (open his eyes wide) What did she just said? Brigitta: (still crying and making grabby hands at him) ATHU, ATHU, ATHU! 😭 Arthur: (tears roll down his eyes) She said my name... Merlin, she said my name! (grinning widely) Let me hold her one more time, please! Merlin: (gives Brigitta to Arthur) Druid leader: (urgently) We need to leave now! Merlin: (looking at Arthur and Brigitta tenderly and smiles) Leave, we'll stay.

I also can imagine Nimueh going after Brigitta's life instead of Hunith, and having to confront not only a very furious Merlin, but a feral protective prince.

That's how far my imagination can go. If you have any ideas of how Merlin and Arthur or other character would act in other episodes now with Brigitta in the equation, share it in the comments or reblogs. I'll be happy to read you 🥰

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))

What is your least favorite ship for hazbin/helluva, and why?

So viv, if you knew that line was gonna trouble, why didn't you or your team add something to show that Satan was lying

I mean, one way you could have fixed it is by having Oz or Bee saying something about it instead of them looking awkwardly towards Lucifer chair and then to each other

This is how I would probably rewrite the scene to have Oz and Bee saying something about Satan lying

Satan says, "I am the mastermind, and here I am the law. I've ruled the endless dark since long before the golden angel's fall."

Oz quickly whispers to Bee. "Here he goes with his lying bs."

"I know! And it is not like anyone believes this. Everyone knows that Lucifer was here before any of us!" Whisper Bee

Then, before Oz could respond, Mammon loudly shush him

Is this a rewrite of this scene the greatest ever? Absolutely not

I tried my best, and I guarantee someone has a better idea of how to rewrite this scene. But this is how I would fix the scene.

If you guys have any ideas on how to rewrite this scene, please do tell!

On todays episode of “what the actual fuck is wrong with the hellaverse fandom”:

I don’t think I need to explain this one 😭

(I hate radioapple too but that doesn’t make incest fine and dandy like what the hell)

I just realized that those big scary moments we see in both hh and hb characters final demon forms are not scary like at all (at least to me)

Like the 7 deadly sins revealed their demons forms, I was just like, "Cool."

The designs are just well underwhelming. I don't know if I am supposed to be like, "Cool!" Or "Holy shit!"

I think for me it is the art style that plays a part in this because viv style is more cute focus.

Her characters over the years don't really have a scary feel to them.

So maybe she doesn't have much experience making more horror related stuff to her designs.

So, rather, having more scary/intimating final demon designs, their designs just end up just looking cute.

Now the only one that I think got a true scary form is stolas.

Even then, I just feel like sometimes the designs are never gonna have a true moment of, "Oh my god, everyone is screwed!" When the said starts to show their true demon form

I understand you, the designs are underwhelming.

Especially when you realize the designs belong to the 7 deadly sins!

I feel like sometimes the designs are a hit and miss. Hopefully, the final designs get better, but who knows!

What???

Look, I'm so up for headcannons. Since headcannons are really fun and can be a great way for fans to think of ways their favorite characters would be like in different situations.

But usually, headcannons are fan interpretation, not canon. So, if it canon inside your head, that blitz has coporlalia, ADHD, and borderline personality disorder. Great! Just remember it canon inside your head.

It has never been canonically started, nor implied by the showrunners nor Viv herself. That blitz has these disorders. If you enjoy these headcannons, again great! But don't go around saying it like it has been shown to be canon.

You know what, really angst gravity falls material/headcannon I have!

Just imagine young Bill is telling his parents about the shining small lights he sees. Only for his parents to look at their son with concern, but his parents just chalk it up to just be his wild imagination.

Now, as years go by, as Bill gets older, he is growing more and more angry. Saying stuff like, "There are lights in the sky! Look, one fell, quick make a wish!"

Now Bill is too old for this type of stuff, so his parents grow more concerned and realize they can no longer just go with, "it just his wild imagination!" So they take him to the doctor and get Bill medicine.

Not knowing this just pushed Bill off the edge some more......

Now, the day came... now Euclid and Scalece could only watch as their son slowly destroyed their home. But as they slowly met their demise, they looked up to tiny lights in the sky... but as the dimension fabric started to destroy itself even faster, Euclid and Scalece looked at each other one last time. Then, they looked at the sky again.

3 perfect stars, but as the two big stars started to fall, they both said their first and last wish.

Now, all that is left behind of them and that night. Is their most prize possessions. Their bow, top hat, and most of all, their son.....

Why did you do it?
