DAMN ANNE DONT GAG HIM LIKE THAT

[dollopheadedmerlin]

One of my favorite moments with Percival is when they're patrolling the town during the Dorocha attacks and he spots a child alone in one of the homes, so he goes to investigate. But then he gets closer and realizes that it is not, in fact, one child. It's three. But when he looks to the rest of the knights, they're already around the corner. And then you get this lovely, but also kinda goofy shot of him realizing he doesn't have enough hands for the torch and the children.

And then he just busts out of their hiding spot carrying three children and sprinting through the dark, dodging ghouls

Percival will definitely get the gold!

MERLIN | 5.03 The Death Song of Uther Pendragon

[justaz]

that one deleted scene where merlin compliments percival and arthur takes him down, then merlin compliments gwaine and arthur takes him down, the merlin insinuates they’re letting him win so arthur challenges elyan and wins. merlin laughs after arthur stomps away and then lancelot comes over to chide him and complain and merlin laughs and says that arthur is just so predictable. out of the corner of his eye he can see the king returning so he flutters his eyelashes and places his hands on lancelot’s arms to squeeze his muscles and goes “and you’re all big, strong men. i’m sure you can take it” lancelot stares, confused, but can’t say anything before arthur plows right through them and grabs a weapon before dragging lancelot onto the field with him. lancelot turns to look over his shoulder with a betrayed look and merlin just waves back with a grin. arthur wins. leon sighs tiredly from beside merlin, scaring him bc he didn’t see the knight make his way over to him. leon doesn’t say anything but just gives merlin his Disappointed Mom stare and merlin mutters an apology

So do we just all agree that the knights absolute love Merlin the way cat owners love their cats?

Knights, holding up Merlin from under his arms: so this is Merlin and he’s so nice and we love him.

Merlin: *is actively breaking the law by existing* *has literally killed people* *drops branches on peoples heads* *and even tried to kill the king*

Knights: he’s just a funky little guy :)

I would even bet money he knocks glasses off tables when he wants to annoy someone (Arthur-)

[queer-ragnelle]

consistently overestimating the general public’s level of arthurian understanding.

shes so cool guys

On a random Tuesday in Camelot:

Merlin to the knights, trying to stop an argument from happening: Once again, I will remind all of you that I love you all equally.

Lancelot: That is bullshit if I've ever heard it.

Gwaine: What did I eat for breakfast, Merls?! Tell me what I had for breakfast, hmm?

Arthur: Huh? Didn't Merlin make sweetbreads and tarts for everyone?

Leon: No, sire. That was just for you.

Percival: It's true. I was there in the kitchens, I saw him making them himself.

Elyan: Me too. Audrey saw us stealing breakfast and came at us with a rolling pin. It was terrifying.

Merlin: I’ve made you all food before now. That’s not a good thing to judge by.

Gwaine: There’s plenty more examples if you want them. We have a list.

Merlin: Fine, I don’t have a favourite knight.

Lancelot: Yeah, okay.

Leon: That’s more accurate.

Elyan and Percival: *nod in agreement*

Gwaine: Princess is just a whole other level to you, huh?

Arthur: I’m your favourite? I thought it was Lancelot. *accidentally starts a fight*

No mercy, Percy! With the comic Percival because i love his design more

[bloopy-writes]

I just think it’s hilarious to think about everyone looking at Merlin and the knights of the round table and thinking that they’re the ones protecting him and treating him like the little brother of the group when in reality if you watch them for more than 5 minutes you’ll see that Merlin is the tired old soul surrounded by these hooligans that actively try to make his life harder

(He’s one more prank away from putting a spell on each of them that will give them dry itchy skin for an entire month)

— Merlin 5.10 (The Kindness of Strangers)

[justaz]

battle of camlann but merlin wasn’t ancient as shit. he blasts the warriors around arthur away and arthur turns to see a glowering, golden-eyed merlin. he tightens his grip on his sword but isn’t able to raise it. the inconceivable notion that merlin has betrayed him runs through his mind but he cant quite grasp it. his father is screaming in his head to kill the wretched sorcerer but all arthur can see is his friend wearing a face that looks too much like morgana’s. merlin glances up at arthur and the expression of rage fizzles into one tinged with fear and concern - all too confusing for him to unpack in the midst of battle. merlin is slow to approach his side and even then he keeps his distance. before either of them can say anything, mordred appears, sword in hand, glaring at arthur.

merlin tries to draw the former knights attention away from arthur, tries to goad him into fighting merlin instead, but mordred is deadset on fighting arthur. he calls morgana over instead and says emrys’s fight is with her while his is with arthur. with the extra seconds of back and forth, arthur isn’t as shocked when he raises his sword against mordred’s. morgana and merlin blast each other great distances until they’re far away from modred vs arthur and land on the front line between the two armies. both armies back off and watch the light show as morgana and emrys battle until morgana’s army uses the distraction to close in on camelot’s army.

three battles occurring at once until morgana gets a lucky hit in and merlin goes flying. he lands next to a gwaine who is currently bleeding out. he smiles when he sees who’s next to him “merlin!” which sounds so much like his greeting every time they ran into each other before gwaine became a knight. he reaches out and heals gwaine’s wound and leon just looks up at him for a moment before going “you’re always full of surprises, aren’t you merlin?” merlin grins and goes “i got one more” he stands up on surprisingly steady legs and calls on kilgharrah. in for a penny, out for a pound. arthur is already fuming at him, might as well rip the bandaid off right?

kilgharrah attacks morgana’s army while merlin orders aithusa to stand down. camelot’s army is able to march through the charred army and bring down those who remain, mordred is loosing but persevering through rage and spite alone, morgana is screaming (like she always is nowadays). merlin and morgana battle once more until mordred and morgana’s armies have fallen. merlin makes a tactical retreat to arthur who is still staring at him wearily (and definitely irate). he requests permission to kill morgana which is baffling but she is his sister and he’s always cared for her even after her betrayal so he supposes it makes sense. once he gives it, their fight doesn’t last longer than a minute. emrys was always stronger than her, he was just buying time.

camelot emerges victorious though they don’t seem all that excited about it. the other warriors cheer and clap each other on the back, but arthur is just watching merlin. the knights watch them uneasily. merlin returns arthur’s gaze. “is that the fucking dragon i killed?” merlin looks up at kilgharrah who is needlessly burning the remains of morgana’s army. merlin turns back to him “yes.”
