#Gwaine

I like to think he was conflicted, but yeah. He would not have been Merlin's BFF and supporter. Gwen, Gwaine and Lancelot would all fight for that position.

tfw "popular" fanon becomes so embedded in a fandom & discussions within fandom spaces that people just start treating it as the default and all interactions with others are coloured by this interpretation. have you considered that I actually don't subscribe to this take, which is nowhere in the source material? wait nvm, clearly not.

Merlin: C'mon, Gwaine! Nobody thinks Arthur and I are courting!

Gwaine, turning to the other knights: Put your hand up if you thought Merlin and Arthur were courting.

everyone puts their hand up

Merlin:

Merlin: Arthur why are you raising your hand?

Thinking about a Merlin modern au and with all the killing and the knights and all im thinking its got to be crime/cop drama

So the knights are cops or FBI or whatever. Whats everyone else? Uther is the highest authority in canon so he's gotta be the same here. Whats that? The police commissioner/agency director? The DA (lawyer)? The Mayor? Is Gaius the ME? And Merlin the ME Assistant? Maybe they've got a situation like Bones and thats how Merlin can essentially be Arthur's partner without entirely being equal? Or would he and Gaius be better suited as EMTs or actual hospital staff/docs? Wheres Gwen? Morgana has lawyer vibes but does that work with what weve established? What stops the Round Table knights from being officers/agents? Is it past criminal records? Bc they're not Camelot citizens (excluding Elyan)? Kilgharrah has got to be some secret high profile imprisoned consultant that managed to finagle a Witness Protection order out of Merlin

Thoughts?

why do you want to do this? // same reason as you: help a friend // arthur's lucky to have us. // not arthur.

what are you doing in here? // got bored of playing soldiers... and I thought I'd come and see how you were.

I won't be going alone // there’s something I have to do first. a favor for my friend merlin.

"Just you and me" a love language

A lot of people seemed to like the last post and I became obsessed with these designs so I made more! Also introducing Gwaine? Honestly not sure what I would name her so I thought it would be cool to just keep the same name lol

[rosemarytales]

best character introduction in the history of the world

[merthurogies]

something about magic being a metaphor for queerness

[wavesechoes]

hello merlin fandom, today im here to humbly offer you this, tomorrow who knows

[dryadalisliv]

I think it would be insanely funny if after Arthur’s death everyone returns back in time to the place they were the day Merlin arrived in Camelot. But like, everyone thinks they are the only ones who has returned. We see it all from Merlin’s pov, who’s traumatised and wondering why the fuck Arthur is so much sweeter to him this time around and keeps saying ‘thank you’. He wonders why Lancelot shows up earlier, why all of a sudden Gwaine is there three years too early, saying he got hurt in a tavern bawl and needs a physician. He wonders why Leon keeps pretending like he didn’t just accidentally see Merlin do magic. Why Gwen keeps giving him these knowing looks. And why Morgana doesn’t seem as afraid as she used to when she was figuring out that she had magic. Everyone is trying their best to change history for the better, thinking they are alone with this duty... and then one day when uther is dead and they are sitting around the round table, merlin steps forward and is like: ‘I need to confess that I have magic, but also that I have returned from the future.’ And everyone just whips around and is like ‘YOU TOO??!’ And then they realise that they’ve all returned and wasted their time thinking they were alone.

The girls are gossiping

[akelafang]

Arthur sends Merlin on some job and wants him to take a knightly escort to keep him out of trouble. Merlin: I'll take Gwaine with me Arthur: I said "keep you out of trouble" not "guarantee you'll get into it". Take Lancelot with you, he's the least likely to commit treason with you Merlin: You say that like he's never committed treason with me

Does Tumblr know that Eoin Macken, Rupert Young, and Tom Hopper did a Merlin-themed photoshoot for Gay Times magazine?

Magical orb that puts a crime count on everyone's head (while Arthur is king), counting the crimes based on the established laws. (Crime count in brackets)

Gwaine (127): this is an outrage

Arthur(3): I am as distraught as you

Gwaine (127): no, no. You don't get to say that! I've worked my whole life on this crime count and I've got less than THEM?

Merlin (847): *crosses arms* protecting Arthur comes with a cost. What I don't get.... Is THIS!!!!

Lancelot (1084): I can explain
