BBC Merlin really is the most show of all time, huh. Casting 4 almost completely unknown children to play the leads against absolute hotshots Anthony Head and John Hurt. John Hurt, who, plays the world's shittest dragon. Not to mention casting a Black woman to play the legendary Queen Guinevere in 2008. When they swapped "rests on the shoulders of a young boy" to "rests on the shoulders of a young man" at the start of S4. Magic as a very blatant metaphor for queerness which Katie McGrath all but confirmed in the DVD commentary for 5x13. Complete disregard for any historical accuracy. "Do you know how to walk on your knees?" Arthur's slutty little S1 necklaces and bracelets. His beautiful brown coat that they nerfed by S3. Bradley James as Arthur Pendragon. You get it.
YES THANK YOU
also the way so many fics make arthur the possessive and jealous one like why do sooo many people get the dynamic sooo wrong like i think arthur does get a little possessive like theyβre both clearly so obsessed with each other but letβs be serious for a minute PLEASE merlin is such a toxic possessive jealous little freak!!!!!! like please open ur hearts to the TRUTH!!!!!!!!!
i love this sm
Once Arthur comes back, Merlin will film EVERYTHING.
Merlin knows he will survive Arthur, no matter what. But sometimes, he's so busy trying to keep the memory, that he forgets to live them.
Arthur is annoyed at first because Merlin keeps holding that rectangular lightning brick in his face and asks him to stop. It takes a long while for him to listen.
But once he realises what Merlin is doing, Arthur keeps a video log. He uses it every night when Merlin is asleep, and sums up their day, confessing his love long before they even get together. Sometimes he hides a camera in their room, so they can live life normally, but Merlin will still keep the memory.
Arthur lives a long healthy life and dies a sudden death at the age of 98 in Merlin's crying arms. His will leave Merlin terrabites of memories.
It's so many that Merlin can't go through all of them before Arthur reincarnates once more :)
Sorry your boyfriend died and came back and died and came back and died and came back and died and came back again. He was trying to find you.
They know how to deal with each other better
Merlin can and would fight a god for Arthur
Sometimes when Merlin is trending without a reason, I think it is just Merlin checking if Arthur is back.
Since Tumblr would be the first to know if the Once and Future King is back.
we all agree bkdk is a sun and moon dynamic but have we considered that they both see each other as the sun and think of themselves as the moon
maybe I'm dumb that it took me this long to realize but when Arthur tells Gwen he has a dream to run away and be a farmer his only frame of reference for how farmers actually live is that one time that he was in Ealdor with Merlin sleeping on his cold floor and eating porridge and he hated it, my god, did he hate it but he was also with Merlin and it's the only time he didn't have to be Prince Arthur he could just be Arthur and he remembered that feeling of being just Arthur and Merlin and he coveted it so deeply that it became his dream?????
okay just stab me i guess
you were kind; i was cruel
