#Arthur :

Your age, your size, or the shape of your face does not matter. Everyone can agree that cardboard box is fun

I would pay SO much money to see someone edit a Merlin episode but from Arthur's perspective. Like we only see whatever it is Arthur sees cause I don't think this fandom understands how absolutely batshit insane Merlin was/is ad just how much he actually got away with Arthur was hella tolerant. (It's also funny just imagining it)

[poetry-my-lord]

I will only add that people tend to say everything changed as the season go but Merlin's progress is the slowest (clothes, etc.). But look at him through the analysis above.

And as a bonus (very simplified, I know):

S1 - village bumpkin S2 - heartbreak S3 - Morgana's magical counterpart in Camelot S4 - working in the shadows S5 - defying the prophecy of Mordred and causing it happen

more merlin fics should dig into the fact that’s he’s like. legitimately kind of insane. like he heard that mordred was going to be the one to kill arthur and did not think for even a second before deciding to treat him like the literal scum of the earth. he would have lived in hiding for the rest of his life if it meant mordred was dead and, iirc, mordred hadn't even done anything yet. wherever arthur is concerned, merlin will bleed and suffer and kill and he does all of it with a blind loyalty that is definitely not healthy and I just feel like that is such a compelling character element that more people should play with.

The King insisting on one of your knights witnessing the wedding consummation because he knows your knight wants you and he has to make him remember his place and show that no one else will ever have you and-

No one else- NO ONE could have made Arthur turn around at this point.

With the title of that episode this is insane.

[anarchelsworld]

someone make it pls

Imagine Merlin BBC being a romcom teenage series!!

Imagine the trailer be like:

"Prince Arthur was a regular prince"

*cut to show Arthur smiling and pretty*

Brave

*Arthur fighting against someone*

Charming

*Arthur flirting and/or smiling lovingly*

Responsable

*Arthur suffering with his duties*

And like most princes

...

A total prat.

*Arthur laughing out loud*

But some things might change

*Cut to Merlin arriving at Camelot*

When a certain young warlock

*Merlin doing magic*

Becomes his manservant

*Scene where Merlin is "rewarded" after saving him the first time*

Unwillingly

*Merlin and Arthur fighting over Merlin's chores scenes*

The once and future king

*Arthur with his armour all smiley*

And the greatest warlock to ever walk on earth

*Merlin with his eyes glowing gold*

Before those titles became official

*Scenes with both of them being stupid*

Merlin

Coming soon

Merlin really said, hang on, left me redefine iconic. Then proceeded to bow to Arthur and say “how long have you been training to be a prat, my lord?”

Like???

[emrys-is-merlin]

Is anyone still genuinely in the Merlin fandom? I want to start making edits or wtv- but I don’t even know if anyone would interact with it😭

[battersweet]

"Fantoccio this!" "Barnaby that!" "Scrimshaw this!"

YA'LL SLEEPİNG ON THESE HOTTİES.

[theroundbartable]

Arthur be like:

Arthur: Merlin is in such a good mood

Arthur: it would suck to see him annoyed...

Arthur: I could see him wet
