Some might say he didn’t take the news well

bbc merlin - 04x01 The Darkest Hour, Part I

people are dying. people are dying and they're FLIRTING

if I had a dollar for every time the bbc made a show about an iconic character from british canon except he's young with black hair, pale skin and prominent cheekbones, and he has an intense relationship with his best friend and is generally gay coded, aside from weird sexual tension with a powerful woman who also has black hair, pale skin and a strong jawline, and is otherwise a lesbian who is fucking her maid

I'd have two dollars, which isn't a lot but we don't enough about the fact that it happened twice at the same time

Welcome to my usual metas where we hyperfixate over Arthur Pendragon’s love for Merlin. Today’s episode features this scene right here:

To remind you of the context, it was s03e12 when Camelot was besieged and Arthur just ordered Gaius, Gwaine, and Elyan to go find shelter in the woods. A second later, he looks at Merlin, diverts his eyes, and tells him, “Merlin, you should go with them.”

Which btw translates, in Arthur Pendragon's dictionary, to: Merlin, I want you safe, I want you away from harm’s way, but Merlin, Oh Merlin, don’t leave me. I really don’t want you to leave me. I sustain my strength from you. You’re the bravest man I have ever met. I keep going because I know you’re there. Don’t go and leave me. I am urging you to go, but please don’t believe me.

I really just can’t. Because you guys, Arthur isn’t scared to go fight an entire army of the dead. He’s not scared that he is limping and injured and definitely won’t make it. He’s just scared to do it without Merlin.

And when Merlin looks at him and says, “Nah, I’ve seen the woods already”, Arthur knows Merlin had heard it all, and chose the kindest response possible that doesn’t spot on his worry and fear.

Those fucking two.

"____ fell first but ____ fell harder" to YOU. personally i cannot like a ship unless they are both equally obsessed with each other

I don't think people appreciate how much stuff you can do with Merlin fandom.

It's heaven for fic writers. Let me explain.

Do you need your characters behaving strangely and doing something they would've never done?

Potions/Curses/Evil sorcerers/etc.

Do you need somehow add a new character?

Visiting nobles.

Do you need to explain some wild shit?

MAGIC.

Sometimes i deeply regret that i cannot write well, but gods there's just sm variety with Merlin. I don't think you can meet that everywhere
