A Picture is Worth.... Meme
This ain't your mama's meme. Forget your RNG, forget your tired old prompts.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
It's easy. Comment with your character. Then go comment around.
But instead of pre-filled prompts with words or numbers, you find a gif or image (any gif/image from any canon or scenario you please) that sets the scene.
The picture is the prompt.

WARNING: THIS POST WILL BE IMAGE HEAVY. AND POSSIBLY NSFW AND THERE MAY BE TRIGGERS.
Some images will not be able to be hidden behind cuts, so please be aware that triggery material may be found within.

If you post an image that is violent or sexual in nature please LINK it, do not embed it into the comment.

Feel free to use this template to stick your image in there.

Good resources for images/gifs are weheartit or tumblr. For not so safe for work gifs/images go here and here.

[What are you asking him for??? SHRUG.]

It's for something?

What sort of peace offering is it? [He's still confused, okay? Why would the kingdom of [INSERT RANDOM KINGDOM HERE] send such a gift.]

Perhaps it is some sort of rare... turtle.

[Wow you are lazy.]

I don't know. Arthur ordered me to clean it; I don't really see the point. It can't really look any better, can it?

[It's a TURTLE.]

[YES, YES I AM.]

To clean it? [With what? He's fairly sure the stench will not go away. IT'S A DAMN TURTLE.] Where will he keep it?

I have no idea. But he said he "doesn't have a choice but to keep it" and yelled at me for daring to call it horrible. Which is completely true.

[He snorts.]

I know he thinks so too, because he was trying hard not to laugh. It was ridiculous.

[His lips quirk a little, trying not to laugh at first before he does.] It is one of the most interesting gifts he has received, I imagine.

[Yes, good, don't resist. He'll laugh too, mostly through his nose.]

I don't think anything will be able to top it. Maybe they were trying to pull his leg.

Perhaps it is a magic turtle, Merlin. If you kiss it it turns into a princess. [His eyebrows perk, his smile teasing, completely.]

[Oh no, he bursts out in loud laughter at that and has to lean against the turtle to keep himself upright. Oh, dear god--]

It would probably have to be him kissing it then.

[You are killing him, Leon.]

You should try it out, Merlin. [He just has to see this so the knights can tease him about it forever. Always.] For the king's sake.

What, me? No.

You are his servant. [Smirkity!]

That doesn't mean I do everything for him.

[You knights tease him relentlessly anyway you can survive without this.]

I believe this is in your purview, Merlin. [Look, Gwaine should be here to support this.]

Kissing a turtle in Arthur's stead? I think not.

I've heard some kings have poison tasters... [Same thing right?]

Because it might kill them otherwise. I doubt the turtle could do that.

...

[Although it is a very strange peace offering.

Not that he sees how they would make anything happen by kissing it, because who would even think of that, but. He'll still squint at it.]
