#immortal problems

immortal merlin headcannons because im bored Merlin keeps “accidentally” enrolling in the same universities every few centuries because he forgets he already has five degrees in the same subject. Every time he just goes, “this looks familiar…” and assumes it’s déjà vu. He gets really invested in modern online arguments and then logs off for 200 years out of embarrassment like, “I said WHAT on the internet in 2013??” and refuses to check history. Every time someone discovers a “new” scientific breakthrough, Merlin has to physically stop himself from saying, “oh we called that witchcraft, anyway—” He refers to London as “the new capital” and refuses to elaborate when people ask “new compared to what?” Merlin has a recurring problem where he forgets he can’t just casually heal paper cuts in public anymore. He owns at least 47 coats because every era convinces him “this is the style now” and he refuses to accept he can just reuse clothes. He has to constantly delete and remake his email because he forgets passwords every 30–50 years and just starts over like it’s a brand new life. He is the reason for at least 75% of urban myths.

Immortal/vampire goes to museum and finds their old things. Except instead of it being stuff they misplaced or things that were stolen. They happen to “let” archaeologists “discover” some of their old worn down books and broken pottery so that it gets repaired or cleaned.

Immortality tip #1: If you're a human female, you should wait until you're a minimum of 50 years old until being granted immortality so that you don't have to deal with that period nonsense for the rest of eternity
