#Arthur :

[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.

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😭

I don't fucking understand why didn't Merlin or gaius tell Arthur about the pendant like couldn't gaius go

" oh sire we found this pendant around the King's neck and it has transforming magic on it so every healing spell is reversed so it's not the old man's fault "

Like is that so hard to do AUUGGHHHHHHHHHHH

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

With the title of that episode this is insane.

bleghg. first time formatting like this ... it was so hard 😭🙏

it can be read as one poem, left to right, or as separate columns. it's not perfect, but i'm pretty proud!

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??

What am I seeing here?

Arthur, I always sleep on the left, Pendragon. What is this?

MERLIN 2x13, ❝ The Last Dragonlord ❞

I was about to make some silly joke about how Arthur and Morgause look much more related to each other than either of them does to Morgana, but this actually tells us three things

they both take from their mothers

Uther has a type

Morgana took from Uther

oh look... the moon ...

cartoons were wacky for making us believe this trope

basically all my posts with #songrec tag but to add latest ones:

Disturbed - Reason to fight (Merthur)

Smash Into Pieces - Reckoning (Mergana) - I don't think I posted this before

What are your BBC Merlin songs?

I’m making the ultimate Merlin playlist and I need songs! I already have some of the classics*, but I would love some input, and also some deeper cuts! No song is too obscure or too cliché. The playlist tends to skew towards Merthur, but I want to expand it, so drop as many as you want, for any of the characters!

*the classics I have right now include King and Lionheart, A Thousand Years, Carry On My Wayward Son, Soldier Poet King, and The Night We Met.

someday i'll see you all again, but in the mean time I'll be collecting some new old friends

Even while hating Arthur's guts Morgana knew he was honorable and would fight with no tricks to save his men 😭
