My King

Merlin has been in love in his life, those young and innocent loves, those sincere and pure loves, those loves of youth that make your heart beat faster and feel butterflies in your stomach. Merlin also had his first sexual experiences, and if he has to be honest, it's not something he cares to repeat. But apparently, sex is something inseparable when you are in love, when you want to show someone that you love them with all your being, sex (or lovemaking, as many call it) is something you do. Merlin doesn't like that so much. He likes to kiss, he likes to hold hands, he likes to snuggle up on cold winter nights when the snow prevents the front door from opening as high as it is, and he likes to spend time with the person he loves. Unfortunately, the people who love him do not understand this repulsion towards sex, and Merlin has begun to feel strange, inadequate, and heartbroken far more often than he cares to admit. Merlin has decided to give up on love because apparently he cannot be loved except in a way he does not like. But then Arthur arrived. Or rather, Merlin went to Arthur when he moved to Camelot, but these are trifles. Merlin loves Arthur as he has never loved anyone in his entire life. He loves him with his whole being, he loves him with a ferocity and possessiveness that is not clear even to him, he loves him to such an extent that he would give his own life for his without batting an eyelid, he loves and desires him. But, as with all the others before Arthur, he does not desire him carnally. Merlin does not understand and wants to stay away from that thought as much as possible but Arthur, being Arthur, does what Merlin does not expect and declares his love for him. And how could Merlin ever say no to him? How could he ever say no to what his heart desires more than anything else in the world? And Merlin makes love to Arthur and can feel all the feelings his king has for him, can feel how much Arthur wants him, and how much Arthur loves him. This makes him feel even more guilty because, although he is much better with Arthur, Merlin still has no sexual desire whatsoever. And Arthur may be a bit dumb, he may not understand problems immediately, but he understands immediately when something is wrong with the people he loves. Merlin knows that Arthur will leave him. And not because Arthur does not love him, but because there is something deeply wrong with Merlin and everyone leaves him behind at some point. But Merlin should have known that his king was different. "I love you, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with you." Then they cuddle, hold hands, and kiss before falling asleep in each other's arms. But Merlin is frightened because Arthur is giving up a part of himself for him, because it is obvious that Arthur likes making love and Merlin does not want Arthur to give up anything for him. Arthur laughs. "I'm happier now with you than I've ever been in my whole life, Merlin, and maybe there's something wrong with you after all if you haven't realized that." So they cuddle, hold hands, and kiss before falling asleep in each other's arms.

Queerbaiting sucks... but

I find it so affirming as a person who struggles with their romantic orientatation. I just live for that state of not quite friends/not quite lovers.

Like yes, they are partners, yes, they live and die for eachother, yes, every other relationship they have loses all meaning compared to them. But also no, they haven't kissed, and they don't want to kiss, and yet, somehow, every single word, every single glance, every single touch carries so much meaning and conveys so much love because this amount of platonic love is usually unheard of and they don't want the other to misunderstand. And I just- aaah, it gives me so much hope and reminds me that romantic love isn’t the only type of love worth experiencing and showing on screen/paper.

I do wish it was done intentionally and wasn’t just a product of homophobia and capitalism. Like I really, really hate the reason I get this representation. Like, it also leaves a somewhat sour taste in my mouth, because I can see that if the world was more accepting, it would probably be a romantic relationship.

(I sometimes see people calling queercoding queerbaiting, and just to make it clear, that isn't what i'm talking about)

I’m going to start QPRing/non-shipping ships, and not just any ships, but the ships everyone “agrees” on.

Merlin and Arthur - QPR hardcore, kissing is okay, sex not so much, committed

Sirius and Remus - not romantically together, both aro coded HARD sex is 100% on the table, they’re committed but also just vibin no romo yes homo

Buck and Eddie - QPR. No notes

Enid and Wednesday - honestly Wednesday was always repulsed aroace coded to me, so maybe QPR but more friends who have a closer relationship

I have more I’m just tired but everyone add their own!!

Drinking game: sexual mode

This concept is brought to you by birthday parties and real events.

Gwaine: okay, next question. Do you like deepthroating or not? Thumbs up is you do, thumbs down you don't.

Arthur: *flushing furiously*

Merlin: *thinking hard* doing or being done to?

Lancelot: what is deepthroating

Leon: you don't know?

Gwen: I don't know either, can someone explain?

Arthur and Merlin pointedly look somewhere else. Gwaine is just laughing.

Leon: omg. *Dreads his own existence* why do I know this and you don't? *Explains*

Gwen: *flushing furiously* why DO you know this, Leon?

Leon: *crying* I don't know! Why do I Gwen? *Shakes her violently* WHY?! Why am I the one explaining it to you?!?!

[whispers-into-the-void]

see the thing is when you say arthur and merlin are kinda gay, you're right, they kinda are. and i do partially ship merthur

but when you say "there is no other explanation for this" you're wrong. there are so many explanations for this. maybe it's platonic or alterous or queerplatonic or some other unnamed unlabelled dynamic. but merlin's character can quite as easily be arospec and ace. heck even arthur with his bi vibes doesn't seem to be much of a romance or sex guy. there are other explanations for who they are, and it's important to actively give space to that

[aletterinthenameofsanity]

looking back on the fic I've written in the last few years and my own sexuality journey has made me realize that there is an argument that poly folk and ace/aro folk process love in a lot of the same ways, like the idea that you can have significant, life-defining relationships with different people and you get something important and sometimes even a similar flavor from each relationship but each one is still fundamentally different and significant in its own way and sometimes you don't want sex but you do want hugs and your partner may be having sex with their other partner but that does not make your relationship any less important because they come back to hug you and having more hearts bound up in your own is never a bad thing, because being loved no matter the form is never a bad thing, you are lovable and you can love so many people and having a heart overflowing with love for other people and things and the universe just means that you're healing and finding the people who fit you in whatever way that comes and there will always be someone cooking in the kitchen filling your heart and stomach no matter what and in this essay i will-

Gwaine + ace colors for @merlinbingo

[critrolecannibal]

What I wanted: A connection with someone on such a deep level that you both feel as if you can understand the intertwining of each other's mind and soul.

What I got: Asexuality and an obsession with fictional romances that are toxic and unrealistic to the point that most of them aren't even canon.
