Is this still a thing? No? Welp, I’m dredging it back from the dead, much like this character.
Say hello to Bellatrix Faire, a salty ice mage who feels too much, has a taste for wine, and refuses to apologize for either. Treat her with respect and she’ll do the same. Touch her hair and be frozen to the spot. She doesn’t bite unless asked, and even then it depends on how she feels about you.

Can’t tell you how excited I am to post this episode. There’s so much going on in this one, it’s gonna be great. (For the first episode and the intro to the project, go here)
In this installment we’ll be talking about: Jungian individuation, mythology as an unreliable frame, Willow as a hacker, descent into the underworld, the show’s themes and symbolism around rebirth, how the show both uses and subverts Christian ideas, and much, much more. If “Welcome to Hellmouth” was the first part of the thesis of the show, then “The Harvest” is the second half. Together, they do a fantastic job of setting up the thematic foundation of the show.
I also recommend checking out my notes and citations for this particular episode. There were many things I had to summarize or leave out for the sake of making the video as compressed as possible (the fact that it’s still an hour long should tell you just how much is going on in “The Harvest”). So if you think I say, glossed over some of the fine distinctions between Christian denominations, or want to know a bit more about the Epic of Gilgamesh, you can find that information in the notes. I’ve also included a few additional observations on the content of the episode itself. So if there was some aspect of the episode I maybe didn’t mention, you might find a comment about it (though I also may mention these things in future episodes). The notes are also where I’ve credited all of the non-Buffy visual material, so if you were wondering what a painting was called or where a clip came from, you can look it up there.
i do apologize in advance, as orders are only open to Canada and the US at the moment. i guess if there’s anybody who happens to really want something who is outside of these areas, let me know and i’ll see if i can work something out orz
if you have any questions, feel free to ask! thank you!!
HEY Everyone!! SOO with getting back into the Merlin fandom, i was thinking of maybe doing a major Merlin rewatch!! This would include an episode a week, and having a group watch at a specific time (through Rabb.it or another shared streaming site), episode contests with prizes, graphics themed for the episode of the week, merchandise giveaways, memes, and much more!!
I was going to do it through tumblr, AND the Merlin site HERE called Welcome To Camelot [its not just for RP but also, for any fans who want to join a safe community to talk about the show] !!
I would LOVE to organize this, but first, really want to test the waters a little! SO if you’re interested in being part of the Rewatch (i.e getting info and updates about this), PLEASE give this a like,reblog, AND/OR send me a message!!! This way, I can see what the interest level is like and how many people – if anyone – would be interested in doing a MASSIVE Merlin Rewatch together!!!
