Me: *read all the fic there were, with the plot I wanted and the ship I wanted*

Me: what now

Me: it is time to take things into my own hands

Me: *looks at an empty word document*

Not really a sequel of the previous comics, and not finished on Yule either, anyway, please enjoy this mini comic done for the anniversary of Arthur being tossed into a lake, may ir warm your hearts (and Merlin's!).

You can get a physical copy HERE and support me on PATREON or give me a KO-FI if you are able to!

You know what I want to see more of in Merlin fics? I want more completely unhinged Arthur.

Think about it. This man grew up with zero examples of a healthy relationship, romantic or platonic, so there's no way he knows what healthy boundaries are for friendships and romantic relationships.

So, I want to see Arthur being completely unhinged when it comes to Merlin and Gwen. Those two make up about 90% of Arthur's sanity, so if something happens to either of them, Arthur would go apeshit.

I'm talking Arthur throwing an assassin who hurt Gwen onto a pyre, because his father taught him that that's what you do with people who hurt someone you love.

Or Merlin trying to temporarily leave Camelot after an argument with Arthur, only to be knocked out and dragged back to Camelot, and he wakes up wearing handcuffs a friendship bracelet that keeps him connected to Arthur, because Merlin isn't allowed to just leave Arthur for no good reason!

I just want Arthur to be unhinged sometimes, as a little treat for him!

The writing on the Adventures of Merlin astounds me constantly. Like. A goblin possesses Gaius and licks gold. Fart jokes are treated as relevant comedy. We’re supposed to believe that no one sees Merlin do magic in broad daylight, everyday, when we literally see his eyes flash and a sound effect plays. But then.

But then Uther dies on Arthur’s birthday.

You might not get it yet. You might not know why that’s insane. I’ll tell you. The significance of that event is that Igraine died in childbirth. Arthur’s birthday is already a reminder of his dead mother. A woman who died for his birth. And now his father dies, signifying Arthur’s ascent to King.

A rebirth. Once again forged in the blood of his kin, Arthur Pendragon is borne of death.

A day that has forever been bloodied is now drowning in red, and it has been and will always be treated as a celebration.

What were they on???? That they could waffle between some of the cringiest takes I’ve ever seen, and some of the most poignant symbols in modern storytelling. I simply don’t understand.

i only realized the last time i rewatched the series finale that arthur & gwen’s theme is playing in the background FOR merthur…

this basically confirms that this is the moment arthur realizes and accepts that he’s in love w/ merlin. this was so beautifully done im not ok T-T

[nah-thanks-m8]

They forgot about the merlin fandom

A king hired a new official court sorcerer expecting a elderly white haired human in a robe not a raven haired haired 20 something riding a motorcycle in a leather jacket and aviators but he can not deny their efficiency.

"If you stood under a mistletoe with two people. Who would you kiss, Gwen or Merlin?"

Elian: Merlin, obviously. Gwen is my sister.

Lancelot: *flushing* no one said on the mouth!!!

Gwaine: I said on the mouth. And I will kiss both of them with tongue!

Gwen: please don't

Gwaine: I will kiss Merlin with tongue!!!!

Merlin: hell yeah XD *high fives him*

Leon: depends. How much are we listening to Gwaine. And what are the chances that I can get out of this by shooting myself.

Percival: I would ask both of them for permission and kiss the one who is most comfortable with it

Arthur: k-kiss?!!?;!! Tongue?!?!?! Uci5€dze ct/f9&#zh UG ul zjbi26&6ritig eitzi86fozcu!!!!!!!!

favorite thing about merthur is that both merlin and arthur think that theyre the more smart and responsible one of the duo meanwhile in reality theyre both complete idiots

[lucylichtenweg]

Me after Christmas Eve as a Merlin fan: soooo same time next year?

[whamber]

Gwen isn't even mad because she knows how it is when you give Merlin a lil' smooch on reflex.

[tiredcowboyy]

merlin has more strength than me bc if I heard uther pendragon bitch and moan about how magic only brings harm after I just saved his sons life for the ten billionth time that year with my magic and almost died yet again, I fear id accidentally turn him into a log

[snailwriter]

It’s all inevitable and all his fault
