merlin being forced to confront the fact that he’s failing his people bc he’s sitting idly by while uther slaughters them all and coming to the decision that he has to act to save them but that’ll make him camelot enemy no. 1 but technically he already was they just didn’t know it. merlin spending a week all morose but unwilling to talk about it and spending as much time with his friends as possible. on his last night in camelot, he goes to arthur’s chambers and the prince is confused on why he’s there. merlin drops a sealed letter on his desk before pulling arthur into a gentle and emotional kiss. they barely separate, their lips hardly a breath apart, and merlin asks for forgiveness. arthur, thinking he’s apologizing for the kiss, tells him there’s nothing to forgive and goes in for a second kiss but merlin pulls away, knowing that that one brief kiss was all he could handle. if he lets arthur kiss him the way he’s dreamt of being kissed, he won’t be able to do what he needs to do, he won’t be able to leave. merlin tells him good night and leaves before arthur can react. he’s gone by dawn.
#arthur spends a long time storming thru the castle searching for him before returning to his chambers and reading the letter#the letter which outlines that merlin was resigning from his service and leaving camelot#arthur is enraged#merlin is still gone#gaius either wont tell him where merlin is or truly doesnt know#arthur mopes for weeeeeeeeks#then reports start sprouting up of a mysterious person traveling around the land and protecting druids from raids#and intervening when villages/towns attempt to execute sorcerers#uther sends arthur out to find this person and bring them to justice and arthur frankly couldnt care less about them#but it gives him the opportunity to go out and search for merlin so he jumps at the opportunity#he and his men eventually track more and more recent sightings of the cloaked figure to a town on the border of camelot and mercia#they chase the figure thru the streets until arthur corners them and flatly recites their charges of crimes against camelot#and orders them to return to camelot to be tried#the figure hesitates then sighs and turns around#arthurs sword droops to point at the ground as he takes in merlins slightly guilty face#‘i can’t do that arthur’#arthur is hurt from merlin sudden absence that he didnt even have the decency to warn him about#but now hes double hurt bc the reports of the mysterious person included them weilding magic#so now he also knows that merlins been lying about that as well and his hurt quickly turns to anger bc thats all he knows#he raises his sword despite knowing that he wont be able to bring it down on him. merlin smiles sympathetically as if he also knows.#merlin gets away and arthur returns to camelot only to be sent out again and again to kill merlin#friends to enemies to lovers#yippeeeee#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#merthur#fanfiction#fanfic#fic idea

Merlin *on four hrs of sleep for the past week, dirty from a fight, definitely has a concussion and at least two untreated injuries, one of which he’s bleeding out from, leans over on someone’s shoulder*: Arthur has no idea I have magic!
Arthur *still blushing from Merlin leaning on him and is now very confused w his emotions*: YOU HAVE MAGIC?!
Merlin: oh… sorry.
Merlin *moves to Lancelot’s shoulder*: Arthur has no idea I have magic!
Arthur: I can still hear you!! You’re right next to me and you’re yelling!!
The knights:… you didn’t know??
#Arthur: what do you mean “I didn’t know?! you all did?! and didn’t tell me???#Gwaine: he was never subtle about it princess#Elyan: you mean to tell me every time he’s shouting spells you never heard that??

potentially hot take but this is a pet peeve of mine
#listen. anyone can write whatever they want and idc I don’t have to engage with it. all power to them!!!!#it’s not even an automatic click-off for me or anything#i just… why. I don’t get it#like… that’s literally one of THE most iconic traits of the entire character. of the entire concept of the SHOW even#and you’re just gonna??? get rid of it??? hello????? the entire basis that John and Arthur’s relationship is made from????????#really????????? possibly the most tender part of their relationship???????#you don’t wanna write fluff about John reading him books and describing things and guiding him????? really?????????#it’s just so boring to me. I don’t understand the appeal#like yeah obviously Arthur as himself would definitely prefer to get his sight back#but as a concept like….#something ab the whole ‘happy ending = the disabled character gets ‘fixed’’ thing just leaves a bad taste in my mouth#why do u have to fix them. why cant they just be disabled. do you think people can’t be happy and be disabled???#idk maybe it’s not that deep. and still I don’t really care that much#it’s just the vibes. I don’t vibe with it.#and I’m sure there’s some actual annoying as hell discourse in the fandom ab it which I have zero interest in engaging in#but I had to have my little petty bitch moment#bc blind Arthur is everything to me. ESPECIALLY in a jarthur context.#anyways thank u for coming to my Ted talk#malevolent#arthur lester#if anyone wants me to tag this as smth Iemme know

One day, when I’ll hold my Mediaeval history studies/Mediaeval literature degree, and people will ask me “why have you chosen to study this?”, I’ll say it’s because it’s an interesting subject, when in reality, I just wanted to write better and more realistic gay Merthur fics set in canon era.

yeah, i’m really into podcasts- what. what is an alpha male podcast. what do you mean the guys don’t whimper and cry? what the fuck is “beta male behavior”
…and there’s no murder? not even aggravated assault? or cannibalism? WHAT DO YOU MEAN “DOES HUMAN TRAFFICKING COUNT?”
#do you ever think about how joe rogan would call arthur lester a beta male and then arthur lester would proceed to shoot him in the head?#anyways. this post is brought to you by the person who asked me if i listened to andrew tate when i said i liked podcasts#i still can’t stop thinking about it#i am like. the opposite of his target audience in every way#malevolent

The worst part about binging fan content for stuff is that soon you run out of easily accessible new content. What’s worse is half the time I pick the most obscure character to latch on to so even if the fandom is churning out a ton of stuff, I’m lucky if I get more than one new post I actually like in a month. And on top of that, I also get into fandoms that are going through a drought of fan retention.
#sir leon#percy weasley#pixlriffs#ethan nakamura#psych tv#spider man noir#spider noir#<- specifically these guys#they are the biggest offenders of this for me#obi wan kenobi#he’s one i binged to hard#bbc merlin#merlin#arthur pendragon#merlin emrys#star wars#doctor who#<- that was another one I binged to hard#like it doesn’t matter how much content there is if I can’t just return to where I left off#pjo#percy jackson#like I don’t always want to read fanfic but I do want to intake my blorbos

A screenshot from a convo we had, and while I do not dispute this claim of yours I will however do one thing. I HERBY CHALLENGE YOU TO PUT ARTHUR IN THE SILLIEST, MOST STUPID OUTFIT YOU CAN IMAGINE (and still have him look like the model he is) (only if you want tho! No pressure)
Hehehe (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و
When I saw your ask I started thinking what would be the most silliest outfit I could ever imagine… and well here we are. There is no sillier outfit than Mephistos.
Mephisto's having the time of his life annoying Angel on another level.
So have this outfit swap-
Don’t you think Arthur still looks good? He seems not amused 🤭💛
#thank you so much for asking me questions#I’ll answer all of them but I want to do it with small doodles so I’ll do them when inspo is kicking#Arthur looks yummy in every outfit#you can’t ruin this man by giving him silly clown clothes#he deserves all the love#mephisto is just being the asshole he is#blue exorcist#ao no exorcist#aoex#art#fanart#my art#arthur auguste angel#mephisto pheles#ane
