okay okay listen i NEED to talk about this shot from sword in the stone because ohhhh my god.....
like this. THIS is the exact moment in merlin's speech convincing arthur to try and pull the sword from the stone when he says "you're the true king of camelot" and ohhhh you can just SEE that he really truly believes it with everything that he is. he's channeling all the love and devotion he has and it's all there in this one look. it is such a subtle and sweet moment between the two of them and it drives me insane
and then the lighting.. the softness of it and the way the sunlight illuminates them.... the LENS FLARE!!! the lens flare is so so so special to me because it is not a thing that tends to be used in this show and it just really highlights how significant the scene truly is
#just zoom in on his face#and you can see how in love he is#these boys will be the death of me#like bruh#LOOK AT HIS EYES#HE IS SO IN LOVE AND DEVOTED TO ARTHUR#that’s true love my pals#bbc merlin#merthur#merlin#arthur pendragon#look at them they are so soft i'm gonna pass away

I was reading through the script of The Wicked Day (one of the only two Merlin scripts available in the BBC Script Library) and it included a scene in which Merlin got offended that Arthur pretended to be looking forward to his birthday celebrations when Gwen asked, and then teased him for being "like a puppy" around her. Why was I not informed of this extremely important exchange.
"AND THAT IS FOR WHAT YOU WERE ABOUT TO SAY"
#every day I must find out things by myself#“MERLIN'S OUTRAGED” lmao. drama child.#I love looking at scripts#I wanted to check the “it's a new day" scene#in the script merlin is “fast asleep” when arthur opens the door#which I think diminishes the devotion of his act. he was keeping vigil with arthur!#I'm glad they changed it#I love that scene so much btw#also uther gave arthur his own father's ring for his birthday? apparently?#and another line that got cut -- arthur saying he needs to save uther because “without him I have no one” :(#merlin#ep 4x03#arwen

Merlin was always meant to love Arthur the same way Arthur was always meant to die
#like fate and shit and stuff arghhNHAGSFCSVSHH#was he supposed to be so devoted?#was he aware of the path he was taking when he started seeing arthur as more than a prince#he always clung to hope#but near the end#where there moments he just thought to himself 'this is doomed '?#was there a point where he cursed stepping in camelot?#or was he just grateful for so much love happiness and grief?#bbc merlin

Fellas is it gay to tell a man you believe he’s your purpose and that you were put on this earth to guide him??
#I’m literally obsessed with Oscar I love him so much <3#it’s all about the devotion!!#he’s so in love with arthur I can’t even UURGH#I’m so normal about him I promise#and also (uh spoilers for part 37 I think) when he told Arthur to cut off his arm???#and he tied the cloth around his own arm so it would stop the bug thing and the bleeding himself??#while there was a creature burrowing under his skin???#he’s so badass for that??#move over kayne I have a new favourite character#malevolent#oscar malevolent#he should listen to hozier#like take me to church and work song maybe#or no no from eden!! that one would be prefect for oscar

#I made this edit purposefully to yearn over the corners of his mouth#And to try to express how much I long to kiss them softly and to show how beautiful and endearing they are#so in case it's not clear yet. I need to kiss the corners of his mouth immediately#and caress them and draw them and devote to them all of my prayers and wishes#I've so much to say about them and someday I will 🤎#The corners of his mouth are one of the places I want to kiss the most#*sighs deeply*#My edit#This is a Mr. Corner Of His Mouth ™ scene to me 🥹 well one of the many 💓#I love the way his lips gets thinner and thinner as they progress at the point that the corners of his mouth look like black lines#And it's my favorite thing I swear. Not sure if that's the right way to describe this peculiar thing about them#I just know that I love them and cherish them. a lot#Arthur Fleck#I'm also head over heels for how big the size of his hoodie#I'm once again stating that this hood is big enough to tuck & hide your face in it while he's wearing it#to kiss him on the lips in the middle of the street to hide the both of you from the rest of the world 🥹#I'll draw this someday#Or write. Idk#I'm full of yearn that's the only thing I know

I’m going to be real maybe something will change especially since I think they’re supposed to have a tragic bent to them eventually and yk I like that sort of thing but so far I really don’t find m*rthur interesting. Not as in I don’t think there’s subtext I think it’s there I just don’t feel anything about it.
#I enjoy them both well enough individually although not with much depth of feeling (am liking Merlin more now that he’s getting more jaded)#but I find their other dynamics have more pull and when they’re together they collapse more into archetypes#you would think since I love a class divide homoerotic friendship with some unhealthy devotion in play they’d do it for me but…#I think I need more antagonism and/or psychosexual power plays to have emotions about this sort of thing#if I had to pick a slash ship in this show I think it’d be Arthur/Lancelot which could offer a lil more of that#I think Merlin and Lancelot have a lot of chemistry but again not really having feelings / they don’t push buttons#I like Morgana/Gwen and Arthur/Gwen#and Morgana/Merlin their enemies era is going to do a lot for me I feel#(and I will say idk if this is just because Katie McGrath plays one way opposite women but I do have to keep reminding myself Morgauise is#her sister why are these actresses playing it like that? confused by the choices being made there)#s speaks#s watches merlin#I felt like I needed to see all of the first two seasons before speaking on that so now I’m almost halfway through I can

I want to paint this. It's so poetic??? This would go so hard as a Renaissance style Merthur painting, the angles, the lighting, the poses? I have to resort to speaking in the tags or I'll never shut up
submissive in the way a livestock guardian dog is submissive to the sheep it kills wolves for
#reblog#this is so merthur#imagine#merlin#kneeling on the ground covered in blood...#arthur pendragon#the man he admires most...the man he is sworn to protect...the man who he can hardly consider exposing his magic to#gently holding his face. caressing him. showing him love and acceptance for years of thankless devotion.#god they make me ill#merlin emrys#i love you dearly#bbc merlin#merthur#my artwork#my art#king arthur#prince arthur

i need to make a venn diagram of character traits shared between mizu bes, simon ss, and lancelot timk because oh? my god.
#y'all i think i have a type and it seems to be 'stoned by village children for being ugly' + 'dedicated life and body to service of another#and becoming the best swordsman from a very young age' + 'most powerful but least confident bc you've felt that there's been something#broken and wrong about you since the beginning' + 'a little bisexuality as a treat' and lancelot timk is all of them#mizu and simon have several of these but lancelot is the overlap and i feel. so normal about him.#blorbo from my class reading 🫶 <- actually i shouldn't be surprised i have several of these. shoutout to isolde who is supposed to be here#in ofk but instead we only get tristan spelled tristram#and also edna pontellier <3#my type in characters is also depressed and/or dangerous and violent women which i think makes sense#but going back to lance even the fucking title 'the ill-made knight' and davy's description of simon always being a cracked imperfect vessel#wait fuck i forgot simon also kicks ass with a sword. a huge part of the plot is how good he is with a sword and his magic repels people....#the venn diagram is collapsing in on itself and might just be a circle labeled 'swordsman with issues <3' which. i think also makes sense.#sorry it's 1 and i'm eepy i just. i've spent the last 3 hours reading and i swear to god if terence makes one more fucking yvain reference#i'm going to incent time travel to kick his ass i've already Read yvain for a Different Class. also yvain notably Is Not Lancelot. and he's#gawaine's literal best friend but lancelot is doing all the 'rescuing gawaine's family' bits and gawaine doesn't even like him bc he's#jealous and also there's family beef from all the orkney faction that i don't remember how it concerns lance but i think it does. anyway#i just want lancelot to have friends but he kind of only has arthur the man he's been lovingly devoted to since childhood and also the man#whose wife he's in love with </3#i guess there's his brother but he's showed up like twice? and elaine but she keeps fantasy roofieing him#a post

it's going to be so cute when they're an official couple i think
#he truly devotes his life to arthur#he believes in the good of his best friend but knows that he makes choices sometimes that look really bad#he's in love but it doesn't blind him to the facets of arthur's personality that make him a person and not a pedestal#it's wonderful and it's so cute#ooc tbt.

NO IDEA ☆ l.dh
pairing: loser!donghyuck x fem!reader
no idea synopsis: a story where both you and lee donghyuck seem to get what you want. he's the perfect pawn in making your ex-boyfriend jealous and the smarty pants tutor helping you pass your math class. donghyuck has it easy too, he's finally able to seek out and experience the world of dating through you, his long-devoted crush and surprisingly enthusiastic tutoring student. but then again, when meaningless tutoring sessions soon evolve into reciprocated feelings, is it really that easy?
genre: college au, nonidol au, fake dating au, social media au (includes written chapters), classmates to friends to lovers, he's a nerd & she's a popular cheerleader (you see where this is going), he fell first but she fell harder trope, kinda based off to all the boys i've loved before, fluff, crack/humor, angst, one-sided pining that turns into mutual pining
warnings: explicit language, unrealistic college partying, talks about family issues (this does NOT reflect any of the idol's families!), yuqi has an ex gf, some alcohol consumption, kys and sexual humor, bullying, hyuck and his buds are mistreated ☹️, hyunjin is a bad bf!!!, cheesy af, unrequited love, bad insults that sound like they're from the 2000s, HELLA miscommunication
no idea playlist: btr's no idea, taylor swift's you belong with me, the vamps + demi lovato's somebody to you, james arthur's can i be him, ariana grande's daydreamin, fitz & the tantrums' out of my league, shawn mendes' treat you better, bruno mars' just the way you are, lonely god's marlboro nights, the 1975's i'm in love with you, sam smith's like i can, arctic monkeys' wanna be yours
author's note: FIRST HYUCK SMAUU! how we feeling 😏 i needed to get this idea out of my system! plus, i love this type of trope, and haechan just fits the nerdy role 😭 I HAD TO! but happy reading :D <3

I have my own little version of this if anyone is willing to hear me out.
I feel like Merlin would hide the pain and try to figure out how to undo it himself but also stubbornly stay closer to Arthur then ever before believing this spell to be a plot to get him away from Arthur so they can finally have a chance to kill him without him around as protection.
Meanwhile the bad guys watching from the sidelines are freaking out thinking the spell failed. Merlin by this point has monster levels of pain tolerance and although he feels the pain he has become quite good at hiding his reaction to it with his secret and life on the line it's a skill he's worked hard at developing.
Arthur probably only feels a less severe version of the spell as Merlin subconsciously protected him from the worst of it. Que him asking Gaius why his heart hurts whenever Merlin is around, meanwhile Morgana who had original been worried and followed him into his check up snickers at her poor oblivious brother. Gwen is gonna love it when she tells her later.
Gaius having not been updated on the magic attack on the prince du jour makes a wrong assumption and refuses to answer the prince's delima and instead gets him to consult everyone he's known to have a crush on Merlin in the past and leaves it at that.
He's to old for the drama that will unfold from this, he just hopes Merlin comes out of it okay. (Meanwhile Arthur learns that basically all of Camelot is in love with his servant and hears that they all gave up because it was obvious Merlin either wasn't interested in love or was already devoted to another)
You both get the angstiest episode whenever Merlin's pov is on screen, then when it's Arthur's you get the sweetest purest episodes about realizing his feelings for Merlin and coming to the realization that Merlin is his world.
Maybe this could go on for a couple episode where other things happen and Arthur slowly realizes that he's been treating the love of his life like crap and tries to learn as much about Merlin as he can to make up for it. He slowly realizes how little he knows about hims and eventually he learns all of Merlin's favourite things, his mannerisms, but he also realizes that whenever Arthur is around Merlin tends to perform. Not quite lie but overreact or make himself seem dimwitted on purpose.
Whenever Arthur throws something at Merlin he reacts to pain strongly which had in the past lead him to believe Merlin to be a bit of a wimp. He know better now since the day he saw him burn his whole hand on a pot when he thought he was alone and barely reacts. Later on he asks him about the bandages and Merlin makes a story about his clumsiness leading him to get a small scratch. Arthur knows that Merlin definitely should no be able to do his chores let alone hold anything right now especially while being this calm about it.
This leads Arthur to more closely observe him when Merlin thinks he is alone or how he acts when around others. Thankfully Merlin seams to perform in front of other's too except Lancelot.
Btw this would not be rushed and be a weird fusion of angst, humour, fluff, romance and character development galore that goes on for a long time as other stories happen the curse would still be there.
Eventually would maybe overhear a version of his rant to Gaius about how much stress he's under + the spell.
The main reason Merlin hasn't fixed the curse is because he's been toi afraid to leave Arthur's side so Arthur decides to tell him he knows and that they can go look for answers together!
Except he messes up and confesses instead. He also lets Merlin know he knows about the spell but in the moment he forgets to also reveal that he knows about Merlin's magic.
So now Arthur has a secret of his own and struggles to reveal that he knows as him and Merlin get closer and closer then ever before.
In the end the reveal goes a little like this.
Arthur: "Merlin I have something to tell you. I'm sorry I've kept to myself for so long."
Merlin: Merlin having been so happy lately has totally forgotten about his own secret and assumes that Arthur is finally ready to say the words I Love You.
Merlin: "Arthur you know that whatever it is you have to say that I'll accept it and still be here, I'm not going anywhere 😌💙"
Arthur: "I really should have told you this long ago, I know that me not telling you has hurt you and I am so sorry"
Arthur: "I just want you to know that you are safe with me I will always protect you."
Merlin: 🥰
Arthur: Arthur trying to get this over with rushes his words "Merlin-you-are-a-sorcerer-and-I-still-love-you"
Merlin: "I love you t... Wait WHAT!? 😱"
Merlin: I'm a what now!?
The end.
Anyways if someone want to use this a prompt to make a story I beg you to do it just link this post, mention my name and let me know about it so I can read it too and you will make me the happiest girl on earth.
Imagine this
Arthur and Merlin get cursed by a sorcerer/sorceress to feel pain when they get too close to each other. The opposite of the forced proximity trope.
When they finally figure out how the curse works, they don’t seem that worried about it. Arthur jokes about how Merlin was annoying him recently and Merlin mentions getting some time off for once.
However, it’s so hard for them to stay away from each other. They keep accidentally getting too close to one another. It gets so bad that they have to be dragged to Gauis by some knights that found them passed out in the hallway.
Arthur and Merlin are more bothered by the curse than they would care to admit. They make a silent promise that they won’t leave the other alone for at least a week when it’s done.
as always, send me any fics that are like this
#Merlin#BBC Merlin#Merlin BBC#Merlin Prompt#AO3#I didn't mean to write so much...#I wish I had the skills to write this myself (cry)#The angster the better#Meanwhile the knight have their own misunderstanding going on#Leon's guesses turn out to be surprising accurate#Gwaine knows never told Merlin since he trusts Merlin's intuition#Just focuses on covering for him#Although Gwaine is as clueless as the others as too what's going on with Merlin and Arthur right now#He loves Gaius's tavern excuse and has all the patrons in on it#He tells them that Merlin is overworked and that if the prince comes around looking for his servant to make up an excuse for him#They have weekly meetings to make sure they keep their stories straight#Gaius is sometimes invited whenever he can afford to go#Merlin knows none of this#Gwen and Morgana have been shipping Merthur so hard since Gwen admitted to her past feelings for Merlin to Morgana when they started dating#She gave up when she noticed Merlin's devotion to the prince

every time i want to be absolutely ruined, i just think about the fact that, despite being only five seasons, in-universe bbc's merlin spanned over a period of ten years.
ten years during which merlin dressed and undressed arthur every day. took care of his armour. stood and fastened the clasps when arthur was going out to battle. what imaginably could be more quietly intimate than that?
ten years during which merlin withstood being underestimated, withstood all that he had done for arthur being unacknowledged, just so he could stay by his side.
ten years during which the most powerful magical being in albion chose to stay by arthur's side as his manservant, and his friend. destiny be damned.
that utter devotion, loyalty to each other? arthur's reciprocated loyalty to and love for merlin despite the fact that, in his mind, he was just a human servant who hadn't saved his life nearly half as much as in reality?
I'M DEAD. BOWLED OVER. IN RUINS.
#like how come this silly little british comedy#with all its cardboard props and terrible cgi#is some of the most poetically tragic romance that's literally ever existed#AND THAT'S JUST IN CANON#THIS IS ALL CANON#arthur risks his life to save merlin's in the FOURTH EPISODE.#AGAINST HIS FATHER'S ORDERS#and merlin GUIDES HIM#DESPITE BEING IN A COMA#LIKE WHAT KIND OF#HOMOSEXUAL#yeah in conclusion i may grow and mature#but i will NEVER be over merlin#(i'm rereading and like the cycle of the year and it's reawakening feelings)#merlin#bbc merlin#merthur

lately I've come across a couple people both here and on tiktok that are now getting into supernatural and basically going "woah you destiel shippers were not kidding, I always thought you were probably exaggerating". And it's like we definetely were not, but I also wonder where this reaction comes from and I think I've got it.
We all know what fandom is, especially if we're talking about non-canon ships. We take the subtext and make it textual, we live in the crevices of stolen glances and romantic paralels. But most of the time there's another (straight) canon ship that the writers can use to queerbait us, being like "see? this is who he really wants". Take BBC Merlin, for example: the devotion and closeness between Merlin and Arthur is obvious, but it's easy to point at Arthur's feelings for Gwen and say "see? this is what's real. you're reading too much into it".
Destiel doesn't have one. The very (mysoginistic) nature of the show means neither Dean nor Cas have any significant relationships the writers could point to and show us the "truth" so there is nothing to distract from what's obviously happening on our screens. There is no great romantic storyline to tell us "this is who he really wants" so they are all that it's left and what's between them becomes undeniable. What's even worse, the other main relationship in the show is as platonic as you can get because Sam and Dean are related (let's ignore the existence of wincest please and thank you), so the difference between Dean's relationship with Sam and his relationship with Cas is so stark, so obvious, that is hard to even begin to compare them and try to paint them both with the same brush.
I know I'm just rambling but would love to hear your thoughts on it.

The envy Arthur and Lancelot would have had for each other must have been insane.
Because Merlin is secretive with Lancelot. He tells him things he would never tell Arthur, he opens up to him and Arthur knows he can never have that trust. Never have that closeness not while he’s king and Merlin a servant.
But to Lancelot he’s been secretive about protecting Arthur. It all resolves around Arthur, opening up about protecting Arthur, giggling over using magic to please Arthur. Lancelot knows it will never be him on the other side of the devotion not like this.
just like he will never be Gwen’s because she loved him once yes but at the end of the day it’s Arthur she chooses.
and in Arthur’s eyes Lancelot is Gwen’s first love will always be known as such and will always be looked at as such even if she loves him she loved Lancelot first and Arthur can’t help but think if she could have him she would.
Anyway I’m so sane about them and at the end of the day how they still understand why it’s like this because they would choose the other as well.
#bbc merlin#arthur pendragon#lancelot du lac#can y’all tell I’m insane#they drive me crazy#Anyway they’re all one big happy polycule rn roaming the modern world and everything is going well amen#Might delete this later when I decide I’m not making sense like I want to hope y’all get the message#guinevere#merlin#mercelot#gwencelot#merthur#arwen#Arlance kinda

I wanna hear your opinion on how Arthur and John differ in bed because I love em both
arthur is a tender, gentle lover; with him, everything is about you and your pleasure— sex is an expression of his love and devotion for you, through kisses and touches and whispered words of affection. he worships you the whole time, mapping out your entire body with his fingers, then his lips— he’s thorough in his adoration of you and will make you come multiple times before even beginning to pull himself out of his pants. kissing you during sex is very important for arthur; it’s an act that’s so intimate, so sacred in his eyes, especially given his track record with women and the abandonment issues that stem from them— being able to kiss you freely reminds him that your feelings for him are sincere and that you’re not going anywhere. despite his inherent tenderness during sex, arthur is far from boring or repetitive; he’s more than willing to try anything you might be interested in trying (as long as there is zero chance of him hurting you. anything that could hurt you is a hard no for him) as he’s very versatile. he’s also quite vocal; he’ll moan, groan and gasp your name and will murmur praises against your skin. all in all, making love with arthur is a refreshing and intimate experience that he used to connect with you on a physical and spiritual level.
john is a lot less gentle. he’s fast and efficient most of the time, not hesitating to manhandle you into whatever position he likes (although your consent always matters and he will stop immediately if you ask him to because while he’s a little rough, he’s not a fucking monster). one thing that characterizes john in bed is that he likes his sex hot and messy. there will be spit, there will be tears of pleasure, there will be lots of cum— john marston loves to see you dripping with him, it’s really what gets him going. he’ll spit in your mouth and make you swallow it; he will drag his spit-slick fingers down your body and around your nipples; he will eat you out until his face is shining with your slick and then leave wet, open-mouthed kisses down your neck— he likes it wet and sloppy and downright nasty. he’s also quite vocal in bed, although it’s mostly curses, and won’t hesitate to tell you “fuck, that’s so fuckin’ hot” if you do something that makes his dick twitch. his thrusts are, more often than not, hard and fast and a little on the primal side; his focus is to bring you both to your climax as fast as possible— unless there has been a near-death experience, where he takes his sweet time with you and it feels a lot more raw, intimate and emotional because it’s mostly in these moments that he allows himself to verbalize how much you mean to him and how he can’t live without you, which he doesn’t usually do because being vulnerable is something that terrifies him. all in all, sex with john is passionate, primal and efficient; it’s messy and horny and a little animalistic.
