…well its better than the alternative

[justaz]

morgana and arthur have a sleepover when they’re teenagers and morgana brings out this summoning spell and arthur is all “magic?!?!?! :o thats wrong we cant do that” and morgana just says “pussy.” and then arthur is helping her set everything up. they light the candles and chant in the old tongue and then BOOM a figure appears but it’s not the mighty god emrys the text talked of, it’s just a boy a couple of years younger than arthur, scared and confused, who answers to the name merlin rather than emrys. while they’re arguing, merlin goes stiff and is like “do you hear that?” and then trails out of morgana’s chambers in a trance and obviously morgana and arthur follow him and they end up way beneath the castle where theres a fucking dragon???? now emrys, the once and future king, and the witch are chillin w a dragon and talking about destiny. none of them are happy about this btw

fellas is it gay to tell another man to his face (and the voice in his head) that you think god sent him to you as your purpose in life and that you will do everything within your physical, mental, and spiritual power to help him

i know for a fact i have made this post before but for me it's very important that bbc merlin is a pointless tragedy. it wouldn't be good (it's frequently not good anyway but it would be a lot further away from good) if it wasn't a pointless tragedy! it's simply not arthuriana if it doesn't go past the high point of the heroic/legendary/high medieval romance stuff and end with detailed rundowns of exactly how everybody got betrayed and died like that is what makes it real arthuriana to me and not just a silly show about a wizard

Some illustrations I made for a module as interpretations of some passages from the Welsh poem 'Preiddeu Annwn'

oooohhhhhh setence prompts my favorite~~

"I'm not jealous, Nat, I just think you hang around Web a lot-- I just don't get it, is all."

Not jealous, my hind end, Nat thought, looking at how Arthur was stood, arms crossed and posture shifted away like a petulant child. He reminded her briefly of Margie's baby brother, and the conflicting swell of feelings that brought up in her choked her more than she wanted to admit.

"What is there to get?" She asked him. "He's part of my platoon, you want me to avoid the man because you think he's weird?"

"I don't think he's weird," Arthur argued, throwing his arms out in frustration. Immediately, the wind went from his sails, and he went back to pouting, though this time it seemed more embarrassed. Almost guilty. "Just don't get why you like him so much."

I'm very normal about this man

[atlantic-riona]

"it's not realistic—" do you think I am reading the genre named "fantasy" for how accurate it is to real life

[ormymarius]

these always have me sobbing on the floor

[normalbrothers]

both alfie and arthur are pretty exuberant/big personality characters who like to Loom and Intimidate but are also kind of emotionally weak when it comes down to it, definite contrast to tommy's quieter, reticent but grave and ultimately rather uncompromising person

episode 25 where arthur and john go to a museum under the larson abode

[lewis-winters]

"Remember once how I told you about/ How before I heard it from your mouth/ My name would always hit my ears as such an awful sound" in First Time is also very Natalie-and-Arthur coded tbh - Nathan

AND THE CHORUS + THE SECOND VERSE

Natalie's name being a variation of her own mother's name but also Sylvie's name!!

Arthur's second name being a variation of Nat's father's name and a Samsa family name!!

both of them giving new life to not just each other's dead names, but to these intimate family ties and history!! through knowing each other!! new life that they couldn't possibly have given them on their own!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
