See that picture above? That’s a close up of my great grandmother’s immigration papers when she first came to the US back in the early 20th century. But my great grandma’s information isn’t the important part here. The important part is that line in the middle there about how they arrived in the country.

And how ‘stowaway’ is a legitimate, valid option to select.

So yeah. They absolutely just showed up, and that part of immigration history needs to be talked about a lot more.

REMINDER THAT TRAVEL VISAS AS WE KNOW THEM TODAY WERE INVENTED IN THE 1930S TO KEEP JEWISH REFUGEES OUT OF COUNTRIES THAT DID NOT WANT AN ‘INFLUX’ OF THEM, THEREBY FACILITATING THEIR GENOCIDE :)))))

read What is A Refugee for more history. Educate yourselves.

living with merlin would be so annoying lmao. Imagine tryin to sleep in the middle of the night only to have merlin come into ur room and go 'something........ powerful woke me..........there is a powerful sorcerer nearby......' shut tf up and go back to sleep. or every day having merlin burst in like 'SLMEONE'S TRYJNG TO KILL ARTHUR I NEED HELP' not to mention all the sneaking out and illegal shit you'd have to hide and all the complaining and merlin being knocked out and then merlin passing out and you CANNOT convince me this boy does not eat like it's his last day on earth, PLUS the older he gets the more he broods so you come in after a long day and this drama queen bitch is just sitting there in a dark corner mulling some dumb shit over and you gotta slap him out of it...the exhaustion is endless
