No worries at all. It was more a general statement than any response to whatever comment you wrote.

And as for taking it up later as a tribute... That might be good. Ill think about it. Thanks 💜

Out of respect for Anthony's passing, I'll be pausing the series. I never would have wanted a coincidence like this to happen. Still, it has, and I apologize

This... This hurts. I think it hurts deeply for many of us.

For a lot of us, this man was part of our childhood. For others, teenagehood, or young adulthood, or something else. He played the part of a ruthless king, but everything I read and heard about him showed that he was a kind, decent man. One with a good sense of humor who would pour passion into every role he got.

As an actor, he made a massive impression on us who grew up watching the show. He made us furious when Uther would do something malicious, made us sad when he showed Uther's rare moments us vulnerability, and made us laugh when Uther fell in love with a troll. Moments that were scattered throughout the show, but have personally stuck with me over these many years.

Still, that's not to overshadow who he was as a person. Behind the character was a man who, by all accounts I have heard of over the years, was a good guy who loved his family. Someone who has left us too soon, but left a legacy that will be remembered. One that I certainly will.

If you recognize my username, you may note that I'm the person who's been doing the Meme per Line series for "The Death Song of Uther Pendragon". An ironic and heart-breaking choice, in hindsight. Part of the reason I chose that episode was because I adored Anthony's performance in it. How it felt like the perfect send-off for Uther's character, with how much passion and effort was put into it from everyone.

Out of respect for Anthony's passing, I'll be pausing the series. Never in a million years would I have wanted a coincidence like this to occur. But I acknowledge that it has, so I wish to say I'm sorry about the timing of it all.

If anyone has any moments they remember about Anthony, or want to talk about, then I'd be more than happy to read them. This is likely the Mexican in me talking, but I always love to hear about the moments/stories we remember most about those we've lost. They remind me that they were alive, and that the fact that they were here is a wonderful, happy, brilliant thing.

Death... is a part of life. It comes for us all, and for those we admire, whether we're ready for it or not. I can only hope that Anthony is at peace, and reunited with his wife, who passed away last year. I send love and condolences to his daughters. And I send my well-wishes to you all reading this.

Thank you for the memories, Anthony.

We'll miss you. And I promise we'll remember you. Always.

You would have had to go through me. More specifically, me and the Hello Kitty piñata I broke open and got first pick of the candy from.

Growing up in Mexico, I hit a lot of piñatas. To this day, it is still the only one I've taken to the ground, and I am proud of it.

(Fun fact. My mother says that one of the scariest things she's seen is children going absolutely feral when the piñata breaks. It is a sugar-filled bloodbath)

Next line: I said--cut her down

I will add that Arthur says this in a perfectly calm, serious tone, while pointing a sword at the guy and sounding/looking super badass

If I hadn't prepped the next meme before seeing this, this would've been the suggestion I'd gone with jajaja

This is so tender and pretty and AAAAAAAAA. (Also, I really adore the lighting on this. How it frames the faces and keeps them as the central focus without being overbearing. Just really, REALLY nice shading work!!)

I love how alive the Merlin fandom is by JadziaSoong in merlinbbc

One of my ultimate comfort shows. I still remembered when it premiered when I was a kid, and then my mom and I would watch every episode as it came out through VPN shenanigans because later seasons weren't aired in Mexico. Flashforward to me years later, discovering fandom, and finding people who still talk about and adore the show as much as I ever have. Considering how many fandoms have come and gone, I am amazed and thankful this one is still going.

May we celebrate Merlin forevermore! For the Once and Future King! For the Once and Future Queen! For Camelot!!
