If they made him look more cool they wouldn’t be able to justify why he doesn’t have a canon love interest
I actually love how ugly Merlin's outfit is in Merlin. BEFORE YOU YELL AT ME - I love his outfit, I think it's fun, but when you look at every other character, even other peasants, he literally is wearing ill fitting rags. Everything is too big on him (despite being like six foot but whatever) and his silhouette reeks of boring character design.
But like!! Yeah!! He is just Some Guy. I love how they never give him som epic mage robes or a cool outfit for more than thirty seconds. He is unassuming. He's over here, commanding dragons and controlling the weather in the medieval equivalent of stained sweatpants and a night shirt. It's great.
SO I TRIED, to make a Martin-monster menacing, but every time I was thinking of FOG creatures, it was just something blobish, not quiet there, blurry edges. He looks more like a ghibli fellow than an eldritch horror skskss. Might explore more later. Now they lookin cute 🥹

Do me a favour and reblog this with a show you like that was cancelled after only one season. I don't mean shows that were always meant to be miniseries or shows that work perfectly well as a standalone story, or shows that might still get renewed. I mean shows that are and will forever remain unfinished. The more obscure the better.
just realised how in most such stories, it is always the sidekick/best friend characters that try to valiantly give up their lives so the main character–the more plot significant actor–gets to proceed on the journey to thwart evil and save and the world or wtv but in percy jackson, percy is the one continuously and consistently sacrificing himself and uplifting the importance of other characters on the journey. he acts like he’s totally dispensable and not at all important in the larger scheme of things, thinks that between the three of them, his absence will be the least disruptive and it’s just such a unique spin on the trope because percy never ever thinks it’s okay for others to die in order for him to live on, instead he tries his best to keep everyone else safe at his own cost and yes it’s a fatal flaw, a self-sacrificing mentality that isn’t all healthy but it’s such a rootable, endearing aspect of his character i’m. sobbing. BYE.
oh someone at the guardian has lost the will to live
I LOVE YOU UNRELIABLE NARRATORS WHO AREN’T INTENTIONALLY DECEITFUL!! I LOVE YOU CHARACTERS WHO HAVE A DISTORTED SENSE OF REALITY THAT AFFECTS HOW THE READER INTERACTS WITH THEIR STORY AND WORLD!!!! I LOVE YOU CHARACTERS WHOSE PERCEPTION OF THEMSELVES ISNT FULLY ACCURATE, FORCING THE AUDIENCE TO COME TO THEIR OWN CONCLUSIONS!!!!! I LOVE YOU CHARACTERS WHO THINK THEY ARE TELLING THE FULL TRUTH BUT DONT EVEN REALIZE THAT THE NARRATIVE IS INHERENTLY ALTERED BY THEIR PERSPECTIVE!!!!
Clingy ass boyfriend
