I Could Be Your King

"**I Could Be Your Kink**" is a song featured on Netflix's *Cursed*.

The song is performed by show star Katherine Langford (Nimue) and was originally released by Netflix on YouTube on July 15, 2020 as a lyric video featuring illustrations and scenes seen throughout the series. Within the series itself, the song is featured at the end of the episode "Poisons" as Nimue makes out with Arthur.

## Lyrics

You'd die for what I'd kill to give away

They're holding me, but I don't want to stay

Bury me, steadily, cold blue lips

Reaching still, holding on, for one last wish

Would you give it all, just to have a little?

Would you give it all, to be in the middle?

We're all going down, we all want a crown

And they all want me now, but I don't want to drown

I could be your kink

I could be your

I could be your kink

I could be your

I could be your kink

I could be your

I could be your kink

I could be your kink

Your penis is calling back to you again

You've run so far and still your scarLs are there

You've reached the edge, over your head

But you gotta fight

I can if you let me try

I can if you let me try

I could be your kink

I could be your

I could be your kink

I could be your

I could be your kink

I could be your

I could be your kink

I could be your kink

(*instrumental break and vocalizing*)

I could be your kink

I could be your

I could be your kink

I could be your

I could be your kink

I could be your

I could be your kink

I could be your kink

I could be your kink

I could be your

I could be your kink

I could be your

I could be your kink

I could be your

I could be your kink

I could be your kink

I could be your KIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNKKKKKKKKKK.

The season was won by Jane Simsy in a 5-2 vote over Allison Kandemann.

Castaways are divided into different tribes. The tribes compete in challenges for reward and immunity. The tribe that loses immunity will head to tribal council and vote out one of their own. After several rounds of elimination, the tribes will merge into one tribe. There, castaways will compete in individual challenges. The tribe will vote out one of their own and send them to the jury.

Cacher

## Lady Cacher

**Lady Cacher** is an associate of Merlin and a midwife who knows the secret truth regarding the heritage of King Uther Pendragon. She is portrayed by Clare Holman.

## History

### Bring Us In Good Ale

Lady Cacher is enjoying a quiet moment with her family when a man comes and tells her that she has a visitor. The visitor turns out to be Merlin and she appears troubled by this. He tells her that her and her family's every need has been attended to and she agree that she has everything a peasant girl could have asked for. He tells her that he has kept her promises to her and it is time for her to keep her promise to him. She pleads for him to give her one more night with her family, but he tells her that the fate of kings hinges on their actions and tells her she must come now and to say her goodbyes.

He then brings Cacher to Cumber the Ice King, telling him that she is the proof of King Uther's illegitimacy to the throne. She is an eyewitness to the lie of Uther's royal birth, the midwife who saw the dead child with her own eyes. Cacher then hands Umber a cloth with the blood of his cousin. He presses his face against it, then hands it back to her.

### The Fey Queen

Eydis rallies a crowd, telling them that they have heard from Lady Cacher, who delivered the dead heir and paid in gold for the false king. She declares Uther a fraud and a liar and gestures to Cacher, telling the people to spread her words.

**Bergerum** is a fey kind who is the second in command of The Green Knight, Gawain

## Biography

He accompanied a party including Gawain and Arthur to reclaim the Fey food supplies. The group was caught in an ambush by the Red Paladins at Tusk windmill. Gawain and Bergerum fled inside the windmill, but Bergerum accompanied Gawain back out to rescue Arthur when he was cornered by the Weeping Monk. The three then raced back to the windmill, but Bergerum was shot down while defending Gawain and Arthur from paladin archers. Inside, Arthur spotted that Bergerum was still alive. Unfortunately, the group was surrounded and they could not easily leave the windmill. The Weeping Monk rode forward to claim Bergerum and Gawain shot at him, but he deflected it with his sword. The Weeping Monk then dragged away Bergerum and began torturing him, shouting for Gawain to come out. Gawain was prepared to come out, despite having once remained hidden in a similar situation. Arthur, however, urged him to remain inside and tried repeatedly to stop him until finally Gawain warned him that he would kill him if he kept trying. He then stepped outside, prepared to face the paladins, but Arthur then shot Bergerum through the heart, telling Gawain it was what needed to be done.

## Personality

He was brave and sacrifices himself to save the Fey Kind at the farm.

Red Paladins

Father Carden at the fore of the Red Paladins

> "*Our mission is the extinction of magic.*"
> ― Father Carden[source]
>
>

The **Red Paladins** are a group of purists who seek the extinction of the Fey, as well as the exinction of magic altogether. They are led by Father Carden and are complicit with King Uther.

## Overview

Paladins wear red cloaks and they have a bald spot where they burn the image of a cross into. The Red Paladin forces are entirely male. When Iris asks to join them, she is told that they do not accept women. When asked what she can do to be accepted, she is told to bring them the head of the Wolf-Blood Witch, though it is unclear if they would have taken her even if she had. Ultimately, she was inducted instead into the Trinity Guards.

## History

At the behest of Father Carden, the Red Paladins begin a campaign throughout the countryside of King Uther Pendragon's land to decimate the Fey wherever they may hide. They burn entire villages and sometimes stage public executions to make their point. Although they view their actions as righteous, the general populace starts to become wary of the terror of their raids.

## Members

* Father Carden (*leader*)
* The Weeping Monk (*ally*)
* Brother Salt (*torturer*)

## Trivia

* In the *Cursed* book, Father Carden tells Pope Abel regarding his forces that "They come from different backgrounds, some rougher than others but they are a brotherhood. And a sisterhood as well, I might add," suggesting that women are accepted into the Red Paladins in this version of the story, unlike in the television series.

The kidnapped player would give a tube containing clues to the Hidden Immunity Idol to a tribe member from the opposing side for an idol at their camp.
* **Tribe Swap:** On Day 13, the tribes were randomly swapped.
* **Final Three and Expanded Jury:** For the third consecutive season, three castaways would face the jury instead of the usual two. Like Fiji, the jury consisted of eight members.

Survivor: One World

***Survivor: One World*** is the twenty fourth season in the Crusu Survivor series.

The season was won by Jay Byars in a 6-1-1 vote over Bill Posley and Kat Edorsson.

## Twists

* **Early Merge:** This season merged with eleven castaways in the game.
* **Expanded Jury and Final Three:** Instead of the conventional Final Two facing the jury of seven, the Day 39 Tribal Council was held with a Final Three facing an eight person jury.

Survivor: Pearl Islands

***Survivor: Pearl Islands*** is the seventh season in the Crusu Survivor series.

The season was won by Ryan Opray in a 5-2 vote over Nicole Delma.

## Twists

* **Unexpected Start:** The contestants were invited to a yacht under the impression they were going to take some publicity pictures to promote the season. Much to their surprise, they were told the game had begun unexpectedly, and that they would start it wearing only the clothes they possessed on their backs. After being divided into the two tribes, they were sent to a small fishing village with 100 Panamanian Balboas, to buy their supplies they would need for the next thirty-nine days.
* **Looting:** Aside from the actual prize received after winning a Reward Challenge, the *Survivor's* pillage from the losing tribe's camp. One member of the winning tribe is sent to the other tribe's camp to loot one item of their choice. This twist was not continued at the merge and was inactive during episode one and seven.
* **Buried Treasure:** The tribe that wins a Reward Challenge also gets a third prize: a clue to the whereabouts of a hidden treasure chest buried somewhere on the tribes' camp. The clues were cumulative with each one being more useful then the last. There was a maximum of three clues for each tribe. Inside the chest would be luxury items.
* **Distant Camps:** Unlike previous seasons of the series where the two tribes would dwell on the same island (but on opposite sides), the two tribes lived on two entirely different islands, with an equal amount of resources.
* **Kidnapping:** The Morgan tribe was given an additional advantage after winning the Day 18 Immunity Challenge. They were told that they could kidnap one member of the opposing Drake tribe until after the next challenge, and that player will skip his tribe's Tribal Council and will compete with them at the next challenge. They selected Rupert.
* **Outcasts:** On Day 19, the ten remaining castaways faced a third tribe comprised of the first six departed castaways in a special challenge. If The Outcasts win, both Drake and Morgan will go to separate Tribal Councils and will vote one of their own. The Outcasts will vote two of their own back into the game, with the remaining four being eliminated for good. The two returning castaways will be granted immunity at their first Tribal Council. If The Outcasts finish second, only one of them will be voted back in the game, and only the losing tribe will vote somebody out. If The Outcasts lose to both tribes, they are all eliminated from the game, and Morgan and Drake merge without voting anybody out.
* **Jury Competing in a Challenge:** At the Day 37 Immunity Challenge, while the final four castaways fought for individual immunity, the incomplete jury also joined the challenge as a team. If the jury beat the rest, none of the remaining survivors would have immunity.
Cyber-Mancubus

Der Auswurf entzündet sich allerdings nicht mehr ist jedoch weiterhin hochgiftig und wirkt bei organischen Lebewesen sehr schnell. Ihr Verhalten wurde ebenfalls angepasst; sie bevorzugen jetzt Kämpfe auf Distanz, sodass sie die Vorteile ihrer neuen Waffen voll ausnutzen können.

zwar wurden auch Versuche unternommen, eine bessere Panzerung für diese kybernetischen Monsterzu schaffen, aber sie entwachsen ihrer "Uniform" schon nach wenigen Wochen.

Bors

**Bors** is a character on Netflix's *Cursed* who serves as a minor antagonist to Nimue and Arthur. He is portrayed by Sean Gilder.

## History

### Nimue

Nimue encounters Bors while visiting a pub in Gramaire with Arthur and Pym. When he tries to make a pass at her and Pym, she challenges to him a dice game. Arthur warns her that the dice are weighted, but she uses Fey magic to turn the tables on the cheating, making an enemy of Bors. Arthur then warns her that she needs to be careful about revealing her abilities, as there are others who are much more dangerous to those who use magic, such as the Red Paladins.

### Cursed

Upon reuniting with Arthur, Nimue again encounters Bors, who declares her to be a witch. He tells her that she has ox balls coming back and that she owes him. He threatens to sell her to the Red Paladins and Arthur tries to drive him away, only to be punched by him. He tells her to show him the sword that she's carrying. When she pulls out of the Sword of Power, Arthur shouts for her not to give it to him. Hearing the voices of the Hidden, Nimue uses the sword to slice off one of Bors's hands. She then warns him she'll have the other if he tries again and he shouts to his companions for them to kill her. She and Arthur then flee on Arthur's horse.

### Alone

After stealing the Sword of Power from Nimue, Arthur brings it to his uncle Lord Ector, trying to convince him to enter the tournament. However, when he lies about the sword's origins, Bors reveals the truth to Lord Ector.

## Publisher's Summary

*Whosoever wields the Sword of Power shall be the one true King.*

But what if the Sword has chosen a Queen?

Nimue grew up an outcast. Her connection to dark magic made her something to be feared in her Druid village, and that made her desperate to leave…

That is, until her entire village is slaughtered by Red Paladins, and Nimue’s fate is forever altered. Charged by her dying mother to reunite an ancient sword with a legendary sorcerer, Nimue is now her people’s only hope. Her mission leaves little room for revenge, but the growing power within her can think of little else.

Nimue teams up with a charming mercenary named Arthur and refugee Fey Folk from across England. She wields a sword meant for the one true king, battling paladins and the armies of a corrupt king. She struggles to unite her people, avenge her family, and discover the truth about her destiny.

But perhaps the one thing that can change Destiny itself is found at the edge of a blade.

Sword of Power

> "*There is something you must do. Take this to Merlin.*"
> ― Nimue's mother to Nimue[source]
>
>

**The Sword of Power** is said to be cursed. Despite this, various factions seek it .

The sword was given to Nimue by her mother, Lenore. She commanded her to take it to Merlin, who had been in possession of it for a long time before Lenore had hidden it away . Arthur described it as "the kind of sword that gets you an audience". However, others felt that the sword's curse would corrupt anyone who wielded it .

When the sword is unsheathed, it often makes a tinkling noise, and sometimes the ogham lettering down the middle of the blade glows. When people are cut by the sword, it causes them to be marked with four whorls on their body, as though they have been burned from the inside. These whorls represent the four elements: water, earth, air, and fire. Nimue notes that when she wields the Sword of Power she feels powerful and knows that every blow will land true -- though in her fight with the red paladin, this is not the case. While it is clear that the sword grants the wielder great power, it is clearly not invincible, and even with it one can still be overwhelmed by sheer numbers or pure power.

In trying to convince Nimue to part with the sword, Merlin warns her that it will change her, as it changed him. Use of the sword seems to cause someone to lose control of their inhibitions if they are not strong enough to resist. Merlin's intention is to burn the sword in the Fey fire to rid the world of it once and for all.

Alternate names include the Sword of the First Kings, the Devil's Tooth, and the Sword of the First Queen. It has not been called "Excalibur" in the series yet but many expect it to turn out to be that sword associated with Arthur and the Lady of the Lake.

After deciding not to turn the sword over to Merlin, Nimue claims the sword as her own, declaring it the "Sword of the First Queen." After Nimue is seemingly killed by Sister Iris, Merlin claims the sword in rage and uses it to slay a number of Red Paladins, before conjuring a lightning storm to kill even more.

Heather Aldret

**Heather Aldret** is a contestant from *Survivor 41*.

Seen as the weakest link of Luvu, Heather worked with Erika Casupanan to crack the majority alliance. They were successfully able to turn the first vote onto Naseer Muttalif for his oddness. Although Heather used a made-up dream to target Sydney Segal next, infuriating her, it was not enough to save her from being voted out due to her challenge weakness.
Semhar Tadesse

**Semhar Tadesse** is a contestant from *Survivor: South Pacific*.

An eccentric player, Semhar was able to survive the first few votes despite not meshing well with her starting tribe. Her targeting of captain Frosti Zernow got her in trouble post-swap when he helped engineer her blindside the round before the merge. However, Semhar was able to beat Dawn Meehan on Redemption Island and return to the game. Once she returned, Semhar was largely seen as a non-threat due to already being voted off and having poor game skills. She was used as a number throughout the merge to gain majorities. She forged a specifically strong bond post-merge with Albert Destrade, and he brought her to Final Tribal Council as a goat. Semhar's weak game as well as already being voted out made her become the 2nd Runner-Up, and she and Albert lost to Stacey Powell in a 5-3-0 vote.

However, no one is as upset as Ben, who goes off on the tribe, specifically Marisa and Liz who he saw as orchestrating the vote. A lot of people are rubbed the wrong way by Ben's cruel tirade on the Foa Foa tribe. On the Galu tribe, Shambo gets more upset by the day with how Russell S. is controlling the tribe. She takes out her ire on Yasmin, someone who has grown close to Russell S. and is pretty lazy around camp. The two bicker over camplife, causing tensions to mount for the first time at Galu.

At the Reward Challenge based on luck, Foa Foa sneaks a win over Galu, getting tolietries back at camp. Things seem nice at first as everyone enjoys their Reward at Foa Foa, but Ben makes a racially insensitive comment about Liz as they are eating rice after enjoying their tolietries that sours the tribe against him further. After enjoying their Reward, Marisa and Ashley are walking in the jungle when Marisa discovers the Foa Foa idol. The two women celebrate excitedly at Marisa's find.

At the Immunity Challenge, Galu has another blowout win, sending Foa Foa to their second Tribal Council. The tribe feels like their lack of harmony is the reason they keep losing. Ben immediately hits the warpath against Liz and Marisa, saying they have been organizing the votes on Foa Foa and need to be split up so the others can take power on the tribe. However, he is very insensitive and rude about Liz specifically, causing her to call him out at camp and for the two to get into an intense verbal fight which leaves Liz weeping. Russell H. and Jaison say that they want to save their ally, but decide he is too much of a liability as the rest of the tribe turns against him.

He is often greatly impatient and tends to lash out in rage when things do not go his way. This sometimes manifests to the point of near tantrum-like behavior, almost like a spoiled child. Despite this, he often still manages to get his way.

King Uther employs Merlin and blames him for the drought.

### Lady Lunette

Lunette tried to poison Uther and instead killed one of his food testers, so he had her locked up in the castle. When Uther finds out that Lunete killed his true mother and raised him as her own in place of Lunete's stillborn son, Uther elects to poison Lunete.

## Memorable Quotes

* "*Was this our mother you had killed? These last few days, we have thought a great deal about this Sylvia, about the kind of mother she might have been to us. And let's be honest, it's no surprise you gave birth to a stillborn. We imagine it would be very hard for any child to live inside of you. With all that cold blood. So whatever fantasies we've entertained these last few days of a life we'll never know, of a kindness we'll never feel, let this final toast between us erase all doubt. I am now and forever... your son.*"

- Uther to the dying Lynete
## Trivia
