61 " Imagine going through existence as a ghost. An unwelcome whisper. A living curse. "

62 " It wasn’t any fun to feel sick about the cancer of unchecked capitalism. "
63 " If Nin had anything to do with Gwen disappearing, I will drag her out of that lake by whatever wig she’s wearing, and—”“Her hair is incorporeal,” Merlin puffed, turning without breaking stride. “I know,” Val said. “Just let me have one moment of righteous anger against that beautiful horrorshow. "

64 " You thought you beat me,” he said. “But we are more than songs and sparks. "
65 " It’s official. I loathe caves,” Val said, wiping off his pants and tugging his corset back into place. He reached desperately for a joke. “When we get back to the future, someone is eventually going to say, ‘Come see these amazing cave formations!’ And I’m going to be like, ‘Leave. We’re not friends anymore. "
66 " Thirties Merlin badgered them back toward the entrance. “Children at a rock concert. What tomfoolery is this?”“The kind where I tell you that I’m you, and I need your help.”“Ah, you’re me. And who is that then?” he asked, pointing at the baby. “Also us.” Merlin snapped. “Honestly, keep up. "
67 " Dragons and misogyny could fuck right off. "
68 " Neither of you should be here,” the somber, unamused mage said, crossing his arms. “It’s against the laws of—”“Time and space?” Merlin cut in. “We’ve never really obeyed those, have we?”“Time and space can suck it!” Someone cried out as they passed… "
69 " I wish we could tell Arthur the truth, but we came out of a time portal to steal from you because your ancient, trapped spirit inside my wife told us to doesn’t really roll of the tongue. "
70 " Because when you don’t slot into people’s expectations here, they get suspicious at best and violent at worst? "
71 " This whole planet can kiss my ass! "
72 " Two girls burning like stars. "
73 " Where’s my breastplate? I need it. Last time someone figured out I have boobs I accidentally murdered him. "
74 " Lamarack cocked their head. “Wait, what are these ages in the middle of?”“After people discovered science,” Jordan said. “Before people wanted science.”“You’re saying we’re in a time of self-selected idiocy? "
75 " Some days were for saving the universe. Some days, still breathing was all one could hope for. "
76 " He’s got you buying magical groceries?” Lam asked. “Merlin. You made yourself into your own bitch. "
77 " Because he’s eleven?”“Every time you say his age, he gets younger,” Lam pointed out. “Which is offensive to those of us who actually age backwards!” Merlin cried. "
78 " The crowds were thick and loud, riddled with feasting, yelling adults, and screaming, overstimulated children. A ride before them was made to look like a jousting ring, while a pavilion to the side boasted a sign: PRINCESS MAKEOVERS. Everything was gendered to the hilt, as if the pasta hardcore misogyny was just a nostalgic throwback that had been transformed into wholesome family fun. Not to mention that the park was teeming with Mercer associates. No wonder the Ketchan elders had referred to it as a fortress. “This place makes me sick. "
79 " Holy shit!” he shouted. “You were nearly incinerated!”“Merlin?” Gwen said as Mercer weapons began to reload. Merlin snapped his fingers and every living on the moon, apart from the three of them, froze. “Note to self, the moment they need me is a tad too literal. Next time I’ll try for an hour before the moment they need me. Although, let’s not hope for a next time. "
80 " How do I explain to people that I have a seventeen-year-old-baby?”“I’m closer to twenty now,” Merlin rubbed his stubble proudly. “My baby is older than me,” Gwen deadpanned. “Sure, why not. "
