The “That’s Immoral You Shouldn’t Write That, We Need To Get That Taken Down” Discourse On Tiktok

Making these Merthur banter polls makes me realise it's less banter, and more Arthur TRYING to banter and Merlin just roasting the ever living fuck out of him with his sword-sharp wit

㋡🥀

flowers for you

King Arthur: [writing, looks up to see Merlin sleeping on his bed]

Cat Merlin: [curled up and snoozing]

King Arthur: [sighs fondly] You're lucky I find you cute either way [returns back to writing, more like doodling a picture of himself and Merlin]

I need this in my life at a reasonable time of day
