Gaius: A teacher can learn many things from their student.
Arthur: So, what did you learn from Merlin?
Gaius: Why some species eat their young.
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.
I need you to understand that when I say "comments are appreciated!" I mean that I will reply to every one of them. I mean that an email with an ao3 notification has a higher priority than a message from my mother. I mean that I will have entire discussions in the comment section if you're up for it. Message me on tumblr and I will have the same discussions on an even more unhinged level. I will dissect entire personalities and ships and fictional political structures and worldbuilding with you. I will become your new best friend. You already ARE my new best friend. At the last battle, I would raise Anduril and say "For my ao3 readers" while a single tears rolls down my cheek, and dive into the fray. I would upload from beyond the grave if someone asked about the next chapter
I love that Arthur and Merlin are part of this huge prophecy. They are two halves of a whole, two sides of the same coin.
And then there is Gwaine who somehow managed to wiggle himself into this elite circle in the sluttiest way possible and rebranded them as strength, magic and courage
[request] morning stretches & bedhead
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.
It’s kinda hilarious to me how down with murder Merlin is. Like I feel like most shows, especially family shows, have the character at least be morally conflicted about killing. If not out right refusing to kill.
Merlin does not give two shits. He murks someone in the first episode, zero conflict. His body count must be at least in the thousands by the end of the show (considering he took out a whole army). But let’s not forget all the up close and personal murders he commits.
I recently rewatched the changeling, and in that episode in quick succession he kills Grunhilda, the Sidhe and then gives Gaius a look like “do I need to do everything myself?” And gives Elena the potion. ZERO fucks given, he is so unfazed. Merlin is always down for murder. It’s so funny.
And I support him lol.
imagine you are GWAINE and your father is DEAD and you HATE NOBILITY and are SELF DESTRUCTIVE so you see some guys in a bar fight losing horribly and join in and then you GET STABBED for PRINCE ARTHUR who is ARROGANT and ANNOYING. and you WAKE UP NAKED in a hot guy's bed and he LOVES prince arthur and you meet a hot WOMAN and she loves prince arthur and then you get BANISHED because you saved prince arthurs life for a SECOND TIME and the hot guy is like you should become a knight and defend NOBILITY. and you're BISEXUAL.
Merlin: Are all dragons like Kilgharrah?
Balinor: Gods no fuck could you imagine
