My name is Astrid. I live in Belgium and I'm really bad at writing something about myself. Nonetheless, I'll give it a go.

I was born on the 12th of September 1994 and am currently going to the University of Ghent where I'm studying Linguistics and Literature of the English and Dutch language.

English isn't my native language, but I reckon I can speak/write it pretty decently. However, if you notice a mistake in my writings, please inform me. :)

My hobbies include listening to music, playing games, reading, writing, drawing, being outside and walking with the dogs from the pound. And watching Merlin, of course ;)

Merlin is quite unknown in Belgium. I first watched it when my Danish cousin was praising the show and I coincidentally found the first season in our local library (destiny?). I fell in love with it straight away. The first season was all unicorns and rainbows and butterflies and ponies and friendship, and I liked how it was gradually getting darker. My favourite season was the fourth one, closely followed by the second one, despite two of my favourite characters dying (Uther and Morgause) and the constant presence of Agravaine.

Even though I love nearly all the characters of the show in one way or another, my favourite characters are Morgana, Mordred, Uther and Morgause (notice that half of them are dead ; that's the reason why I believe the writers are a formidable sword of Damocles).

Edit: and they proved they are, all four of them have tragically met their end

30 Days of Merlin Challenge
Day 1 - Favourite Character : Morgana Pendragon

Day 2 - Least Favourite Character : The Sarrum

Day 3 - Your Favourite Episode : A Servant of Two Masters

Day 4 - Your Least Favourite Episode : Love in a Time of Dragons

Day 5 - Your Favourite Guest-Star : Emilia Fox (Morgause, though she's more of a recurring character than a guest-star). Second place goes to Charles Dance (Aredian)

Day 6 - Your Least Favourite Guest-Star : Erin Richards who played Eira. I didn't like her character at all, and actually I didn't like her acting either :(

Day 7 - Your Favourite Scene : That scene in 'The Diamond of the Day, part I' where Mordred and Morgana chanted a spell to cast a fireball. I absolutely loved the intensity of that scene and how powerful (and sexy) these two were.

Day 8 - An episode you've seen more than once (or twice) : I've seen every episode more than once or twice, but I think I've seen 'the Sins of the Father' the most.

Day 9 - Your Favourite Quote from 'Merlin' : "Pendragons are good for one thing only: death." (Ruadan in 5x01). I love the eventual accuracy of this statement.

Day 10 - Your OTP (One True Pairing) : Mordred and Morgana (since season 5, that is)

Day 11 - Your Favourite Funny Scene : In 'A Servant of Two Masters', where Merlin is trying to kill Arthur but fails miserably.

Day 12 - A Scene that makes you sad/cry :  The final episode in general (Mordred dying, Morgana burying Mordred, the magic reveal, Morgana dying, Arthur saying 'thank you' and then dying and Merlin wandering around forever ) ;(

Day 13 - A Scene that makes you angry : When Merlin killed Morgana in cold blood

Day 14 - Your Favourite Male Character : Mordred

Day 15 - Your Favourite Female Character : Morgana

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Day 29 - Your Favourite Season : Season 4

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">Day 30 - Whatever tickles your fancy : It annoys me when people think Morgan(a) is Mordred's mother in the legends. She isn't, Morgause is. And I also believe that the Merlin writers should be kept from writing any other show ever again.

And to finish... have some silly pictures of Morgana :)
