#Arthur and Merlin

[immabitqueer]

Had the idea that when visiting nobles meet Merlin for the first time they assume Merlin is the court jester. They hear this little peasent boy call the Prince/King "a useless clotpole with a waist bigger than his brain" and when no one does anything for the treason they just assume he's their buffoon.

Regular writers: The two main characters can't be both idiots one of them has to be smart

Merlin:

Look I don't know how many times I need to say this

Arthur is a golden cat

Merlin is a black dog

The way Arthur said : " there's no way Merlin is a sorcerer " here with a joking tone AND a bitter tone . It felt like he was protecting Merlin even without knowing by making up excuses for Uther . He was bitter because he would feel betrayed if "his servant " who he only knew for barely a month was something he didn't know . And that his father will kill if it's proven. .

Camelot noble: Your majesty, your manservant is a threat to -

Arthur: Merlin?? A threat?? Of course not. Look at him, he's adorable.

Merlin, standing behind Arthur, covered in blood, holding a knife, having just killed his 7th assassin of the week (it's Monday): Yeah, I'm adorable.

I will genuinely never let go of that fact that Arthur never found out Balinor was Merlin’s father. fuck the magic, that’s the secret that haunts me the most.

I wish Arthur found out early on, maybe if Merlin snapped after ‘no man is worth your tears.’ And Merlin swears that he did not inherit Balinor’s dragonlord powers (Arthur does not know they are passed father to son) and Arthur believes him.

and then YEARS later Arthur is bleeding out in the finale and Merlin calls Kilgharrah and Arthur is like wait. hold the fuck up. you said you were not a dragonlord

and Merlin’s standing there with the blood of hundreds on his hands, his last remaining sanity hanging by a thread like my brother in christ you cannot actually believe that’s where i drew the line about lying

And I’m obsessed with merlin being in the trunk

[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😭

✨What would Arthur from season five say to Merlin from season one?✨

It's so sweet and sad at the same time... This series is my personal comfort zone

[immabitqueer]

I have a hc that Arthur just picks Merlin up like a sack of flour whenever and everyone just gets used to it. I mean not a soul mentioned Arthur dragging Merlin out of the throne room in The Witch Finder. I like to imagine that that's just how they are. Merlin starts to pick a fight in the market with a neighboring kingdoms knights? Arthur has an easy solution. Throw that servant over your shoulder and walk away. Is Merlin trying to join a fight with no weapons to protect himself? As soon as your open and the other knights can handle it grab him bridle style and haul ass. Works every time. When this first started Merlin would try and fight back and squirm away but it was no use so he just goes with it now.

Uther asking Merlin "what happened to him(Arthur)?!!" Like dude shouldn't you be looking out for that idiot 😭

And Arthur all the time under the love spell like "la la la love"

[ireallyneedaintrestinglife]

Honestly devastating that we didn't see more instances of Merlin just throwing hands with people for Arthur. Like we got Cedric, but in most cases he uses his magic and like work with what you got buddy, but he's a country boy he's gonna know how to scrap whether or not he's good at it. It's a shame the writers didn't add another Cedric type of situation where Merlin just fucking loses it and starts fistfighting some bitches

there is this one part in the beginning of the sword in the stone theme that gets me so bad like idk what it is… it literally gives me goosebumps. i feel like it might be because i associate this part with how merlin feels for arthur in such a sweet and real way T-T

There are so many occasions that Arthur gives Merlin genuine love eyes that I am too lazy to get all of them but here goes the top ones 😭

[merlin-fandom-2024]

After the magic reveal, Arthur sees the scars Merlin's acquired throughout the years

Arthur: Who hurt you?

Merlin, joking: Want a list?

Arthur:

Arthur: Yes, actually.
