Title: Tumblann twitter: Merlin's profile
Artist: Hakka ( prue84 )
Fandom: BBC's Merlin (post-canon, modern magic) AU
AU: The battle of Tumblann
Characters: Merlin.
Rating: G
Tagline: Merlin's Twitter (no specific year, early November 2020)
Series: Tumblann twitter
About the graphic: Merlin is not a compulsive tweeter. Oh, he likes to share his snarkiness with the world now and then, but he dislikes the length limitations of this social, so he usually hangs around his own site, where he can write long articles or uncensored rants about whatever fancies - or angers - him.
The profile was mostly a mean for him to update his readers whenever he wrote a new post at his blog or when he signed up to an event but, after Arthur's return and his consequent joining of social media, it has turned into Merlin's place to publicly tease his king.
About the AU: Under the graphic.
Notes: The Chronicles of Camelot is a series of six book covers (front + back + flaps) I created and published in early 2017 but then retired a year later when I decided I needed to change the subject (and story extract on the flap) of one.
I'm still trying to write the scene I need for the story extract of said book, so that I can re-post the first series, which you can see in the first line of the pic. And the second series/sequel is on the works (all graphics ready, just missing the content of the flaps). I was on a roll when I wrote all the text for the six covers back then and I cannot seem to get into the proper mood again.
The series was meant to be Merlin's official tale on Camelot, from which the authors of the BBC series started to write the tv show.
"Hakka/Prue84", my signature, was used as the fake name of the publisher.
The link is the one for the specific tag of the series on my Tumblr so yes, it actually is (was) a working url.
Notes 2: The Pickled cabbage leaves jars were sold in the supermarket I buy groceries at in November (2019) and I couldn't stop giggle. There wouldn't be much to giggle about, but in Italy you seldom find labels in other languages, and as soon as I noticed the "cabbage"... *chuckles* let's just say I couldn't stop my hand from reaching out the phone and snapping a photo.
Tec stuffs (aka Behind The Manip): Twitter graphic made all by-hand, with much moving/copy/pasting. I worked from a screencap of Twitter made in 2017, so this doesn't reflect later changes over Twitter. I liked better the square icons over the rounded (they are also easier to make) so I decided to keep the old graphic.

About the AU
It's the 21th century like we know it, but magic is widely spread and has long since become part of everyday life. The legend of the Once and Future King is real and the people of England are eagerly awaiting for his return. Officially Merlin (with the appearance of Dragoon the Great) is known to hide somewhere and it's said that he will reveal himself when his king will be back; for now Merlin lives his life as the young Professor Gaius de Bois, teaching Medieval History at the University of Avalon and being a renowned historian for his expertise in the Matter of Britain.
When Arthur finally emerges from the Lake of Avalon, he can live his new modern life without changing name nor hiding his true identity, while Merlin returns and keeps his two identities: the official old warlock and the young Professor, claiming that the young Gaius is his nephew.
Although the fact they are lovers is just a rumor, and they've never given any hint that the rumor is true, Arthur and Merlin are in a romantic relationship so they do share the royal bed.
Intrigued by the fact people had told his story, Arthur - without a kingdom to rule and generally something to do with his time - embarks on the quest to read all books and see all movies and shows about him, to either laugh or wonder what exactly Merlin had done in all these centuries when people twisted the true story about Camelot into something that has little to do with the original. He eventually discovers social media and becomes pretty much addicted to it. He will go down the Hell path when he will eventually sign up to Tumblr, but that's another story for another graphic...
