Hi!

this was done as a pseudo test if i could make print style art, im going to ask my graphic designer girl if she could try make it look more print like :)

since i got asked a bit on cass’ height on twt ill explain my design thoughts here! ( its also partly because my reference was like this)

also pls ask me stuff on my ask box i like getting requests

cass : black hair, she has a bad habit of cutting it herself when stressed so it can be a bit messy. likes thin layers and doesn’t wear jackets often because of the feeling and pressure. shes 5’8 and got height from her dad, ballerina lithe build. she just likes wearing clothes that remind her of her costume. :)

Because he knows that bitch is Batman. He’d worked it through that big brain of his and he’s without a doubt certain that the same idiot who spilled champagne on him last New Year’s Eve moonlights as the Batman.

Part of how authoritarianism works is telling you that you can't stop it. And you can't stop it by yourself. But it wants to stop the train of thought there and let you fall into despair.

You need to remember the next part: you don't have to stop it by yourself.

Because Uther never had a son, his daughter, Arthuria has to present as male (whether Arthur is trans or not is not relevant to the concept. I shall use they/them pronouns to keep it optional and call Arthuria/Arthur Arthuri in the following bits).

So, when Uther declared Merlin Arthuri's manservant, Arthuri panics. The relationship between prince and manservant is always intimate, their father should know.

Uther is, at this point, so ignorant, that he forgets sometimes about Arthuri's situation and how it affects them.

Uther is reminded of it long after Arthuri has gotten used to Merlin's kind and charming ways.

Uther, walking in on Arthuri, half naked, throwing a pillow at Merlin.

Uther: OUT!!!

Merlin: *hurries to leave*

Arthuri: Father!!!! What is the meaning of this!!!!

Uther: you let him see you like - this??!?!

Arthuri: *brow raised* when I told you my concerns, you wouldn't listen. But it's no worry. Merlin is an idiot, he doesn't even know. (Merlin does, in fact, know, he's just unaffected and openminded)

Uther: he can't be that much of an idiot

I imagined a similar story, but full of anguish, where Arthur was born a woman, but Uther wanted an heir and forced his daughter to be a boy. However, Arthur is not trans; she is not a boy, even having muscles, wearing pants and armor, or even working with the knights. Arthur is a woman, and looking in the mirror and seeing a man is torture for her. No one besides Gaius and Uther knows about this. Morgana suspects that Arthur is gay but doesn’t know that Arthur just wants to be seen and looked at as a woman in the same way Morgana is seen. Basically, it’s a body dysphoria that many transgender people experience.

Since Arthur was always raised as a man, she doesn’t have a feminine name and hates being called Arthur, so she insists that everyone calls her Sir or Prince (I don’t know about outside my country, but Sir and Prince in Brazil are neutral names/nicknames).

When Merlin arrives in Camelot, he quickly clashes with Arthur and then saves her life, becoming the prince’s servant (Uther forgot that Arthur was a woman). At first, Merlin finds it strange that Arthur doesn’t let him help with anything, not being able to put away Arthur’s clothes, not helping her dress in normal clothes, only in armor, and not being allowed to wash her clothes sometimes (due to menstruation). Merlin also notices that the prince has strange behaviors, like staring too much at some ladies’ clothes like a pervert (Arthur was just envying the dress), getting more irritable and emotional once a month (PMS), and burning bloody cloths in the fireplace. Merlin saw this only once, and Arthur was so embarrassed that she kicked and yelled at Merlin to get out (medieval pads).

Anyway, Merlin starts to notice these details about Arthur while getting closer to the prince. One day (perhaps in the episode where Sophia enchants Arthur), Merlin needs to take care of an unconscious Arthur and decides to dress her in more comfortable clothes. When he opens the wardrobe, he is surprised to see feminine underwear and a crumpled dress hidden at the back. At first, he worries that he is serving a pervert, but he realizes there are no male underwear in Arthur’s wardrobe and starts to piece together that maybe the prince owns the feminine underwear. Merlin, always open-minded, decides it’s none of his business and grabs a soft white tunic that Arthur used to sleep in and goes to dress his prince, only to almost have a heart attack upon finding breasts instead of a muscular chest.

When Arthur wakes up and realizes someone changed her clothes, she panics and starts crying when she sees Merlin. She wanted to get angry and yell, but she can only beg Merlin not to tell anyone. Merlin approaches carefully and hugs Arthur, apologizing and saying it wasn’t his intention to hurt her and begging for forgiveness for violating her honor by seeing her body without permission. From then on, the two become even more inseparable than before. Merlin listens to what Uther forced Arthur to be and decides he will do everything in his power to make his PRINCESS the happiest woman in the world. Merlin starts spending his salary on dresses and corsets made to fit Arthur’s muscular body, starts calling Arthur by feminine pronouns when they are alone and neutral pronouns in public, refusing to call his princess by masculine pronouns. What I mean is that Merlin becomes the knight in shining armor that Arthur was forced to be, and Arthur finally gets to be the princess she always wanted to be.

I think the most exciting part I thought about this story was Merlin having the honor of naming Arthur, removing the name Uther forced on his heir and giving her a name worthy of the future Queen of Camelot. So one day, Arthur is wearing one of the dresses Merlin gave her and smiling at herself in the mirror, and Merlin calls her Astrid, making the princess cry because it was the first time in her life she felt like herself.

In the end, Merlin reveals his magic to Astrid, and Astrid reveals it to Morgana when Merlin tells her that Morgana has magic. This way, Morgana doesn’t become the villain, joining her beloved sister to overthrow Uther. It all ends with Astrid being crowned Queen, Morgana as the regent princess, and Merlin as the king

So I apologize, but I must take on this task. A new hand must touch the beacon. The knowledge must be passed on. The chain can not be broken.

So.

The Game.

The following are the rules of The Game:

there is no winning The Game

once you know of The Game, you are always playing the game

the point of The Game is to not think about The Game

if you think about The Game, you have lost The Game, and must announce this to those around you - causing them to also lose The Game

A "reset period" of roughly an hour or two before loss announcements is common in colloquial rules to allow yourself and those around you to properly temporarily "forget" about The Game, however that is not an official rule.

but holy hell I love it

when bots run amok

LEAVE YOUR PHONE AND SMART WATCH HOME. These devices can track your location. Discuss meeting places and stuff beforehand, preferably face to face or only by encrypted means.

DO NOT TAKE PHOTOS/VIDEOS, this can put people in danger.

Bring easy to transport snacks, water, any meds you need and first-aid kits.

If it’s very hot weather, bring drinks like Gatorade that replenish electrolytes.

Don’t forget sunscreen.

Wear nondescript clothes that don’t have giant logos or memorable images or patterns on them. This includes shoes and socks. Look as boring and plain as possible.

The same applies to your COVID mask, keep it plain or buy some you’ll only wear when protesting.

If you have identifiable piercings, take them out and put in a spacer if you can’t leave it out, or put in jewelry you can afford to discard afterward.

Cover up tattoos.

Take off your nail polish or paint your nails a neutral color. You don’t want somebody identifying you via your Hello Kitty nail art on Facebook.

If your hair is dyed an unnatural color, is very long or styled distinctly (ie locs, braids, fades, etc), find a way to cover your head and hide your hair.

Get cheap sunglasses and ONLY wear them to protests, nowhere else.

If you use mobility aids and they have distinct stickers, find temporary ways to cover them up. Remove spoke covers from wheelchair wheels or buy ones that only go on your wheels during protests and nowhere else.

The goal is to be as nondescript as possible and not stand out much from a crowd if some goofball forgets the no pictures/video rules.

Other advice:

Tear gas canisters are hot, you’ll need thick gloves if it’s necessary to handle one to throw it away from you or a group.

Make sure you or someone in your group is trained in first aid.

If you have a seizure disorder like epilepsy, make sure the people in your group know the right seizure first aid for the types of seizures you have. Make sure they know where your rescue meds are if they have to give them to you during an aura to stop it from progressing. Make sure there’s an escape route they can take you through after a seizure.

Diabetic people, make sure you or someone with you knows how to administer emergency insulin, sugar, or can adjust your pump if something happens to it.

Carry whatever tools you need to repair something like a wheelchair if it gets damaged.

Canes may be broken or damaged, so bring one you can afford to lose. (I know that may be very difficult!)

Blind long cane users should carry extra cane tips and perhaps even an extra folding cane in case the one you’re using is damaged or broken.

Make sure someone in your group that you trust can wrangle service animals and take care of them for you if you’re detained.

Autistic people with sensory issues, make sure any ear defenders and stim toys you bring are as plain and nondescript as possible. A black chewable necklace is going to blend in with black clothes. Try not to have toys that are bright colored if you can avoid it. Bring stim toys you don’t care about losing, because they might get lost.
