another THOUGHT

Cause istg i am on a role rn. If anyone has the time and writing ability to write these ideas GO DO IT. I enable you. 

OK THOUGHT: The Dark Tower - The Hollow Queen and With All My Heart storylines but change it up a bit. The Dark Tower, The Hollow Queen The Hollow Warlock and With All My Heart

Like what if instead of Gwen, Merlin got kidnapped?

Note: I do realize after my last post that I am making some eps more Merlin-centric and that’s bc i feel like if this happened we would get more character development. just a thought. 

Note again: you can interpret this as platonic or romantic i dont really care but bc im a big rom merthur shipper, im taking this in the romantic interpretation

Note again again: can people comment like if they like ideas like this cause im down to have more thoughts. like this is fun. i feel great. 

Ok as always background:

1. Gwen is Queen, Camelot needs a queen so she is queen, but she is not married to Arthur, she is married to Lance (they did him so dirty in the show)

2. Arthur has feelings but he doesn’t really know that he has feelings. like he gets a fluttery feeling whenever Merlin smiles but just chalks it up to heart burn. 

3. Morgana knows who Emrys is. Cause if she is the High Priestess, im gonna assume she knows about the crystal cave and asked it “crytal crystal in the ground, who the hell is emrys?” and it just showed a pic of merlin and she was like “aww hell nah”

ok on to thought-->

So Morgana finds out about Merlin and his magic and is pissed. She plots to torture him for the pain he has caused her. she also remembered what Agravaine (ew) told her when he was helping her, that Arthur had the knights comb the forests in search of Merlin, ultimately going himself to save Merlin. also if she can get Emrys to her side, then maybe all of the magic population would side with her and help takeover Camelot. So she plans to kidnap him and take him to the dark tower.

so cue that scene with all the knights and Gwen but this time with Merlin too bc Gwen misses him and wants to chat like old times. 

BAM MORGANA 

now some of the knights get bitten and gwen gets knocked unconcious but Merlin tries to stand up to her, but she subdues him quick bc we need that for plot. 

the remaining knights go back to Arthur, commence angst bc oh no Merlin. 

Arthur remembers the fear he felt the last time Merlin was kidnapped by the men but doesn’t know that Merlin was kidnapped by Morgana then too. Either way, he needs to get his bff/love back.

Merlin faces the same hallucinations but its everyone reacting badly when they find out about his magic

Leon - “YOU BETRAYED YOUR FRIENDS AND ARTHUR, HOW COULD YOU”

Gwaine - “YOU LIED TO ME WHEN I TOLD YOU ABOUT MYSELF, I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS” (not super strong ik, if someone has a better one...)

Elyan and Gwen - “MAGIC KILLED OUR FATHER AND NOW WE WILL GET OUR REVENGE”

Percival - “MAGIC (CENRED) KILLED MY FAMILY NOW I WILL KILL YOU”

Lancelot - “YOU LIED AND GOT ME BANISHED, YOU SAID YOU WOULD HELP ME MERLIN” 

and then Arthur’s would hurt the most “YOU LIED TO ME ALL THESE YEARS I TRUSTED YOU YOU KILLED MY FATHER YOU COULD HAVE SAVED MORGANA YOU ALMOST GOT GAIUS KILLED YOU MONSTER...”

the “monster” part would kill him inside and is thus the breaking point for him where he falls into Morgana’s curse.

Now commence the rest of the episode Dark Tower, the same way except that the weird fairy actually helps the rescue party bc she believes that Merlin is good and that they all need him and Elyan doesn’t die bc my boi deserves better than that too. 

They get him back and he seems fine. But he really isnt

I dont have any real ideas for the Hollow Warlock its just a cool title I thought. The main pivotal part should be Merlin meeting with Morgana and monologuing about living in Camelot scared and saving Arthur and not being seen which makes the viewers see a side of Merlin that is not seen often. almost like a Dark!Merlin AU. 

Ok, now to With All My Heart. All the knights, Arthur and Gwen notice Merlin acting odd. So they follow him and notice him consorting with Morgana. Arthur is crushed bc the one person, his other half, who he knew would never betray him has now gone and done this. When they speak with Gaius and he tells them that Merlin has fallen to Morgana’s will, then they all are relieved bc that means that Merlin doesn’t actually want to betray Arthur. Arthur is now more determined than ever to get him back. So cue funny scene with a dinner with knights, arthur, gwen and gaius. even mordred.

BAM merlin unconscious and ready to be saved!

Now adventure! Quest! Drama! Angst! 

On a night where they have to stop to rest and merlin is still conked out, they swap stories of M’s heroic deeds and funny moments. they plan to tell him all of this when he wakes up cause that boy doesn’t get enough praise.

Now they are at the fancy lake (im a little lazy to figure out the name) the only downside to my idea is that there can’t be a Dolma. or maybe there is a Dolma! that isnt merlin in disguise. 

Merlin wakes up and like how Gwen went on a mad tirade for a sec, he goes on for a whole 10 mins and inadvertently reveals his magic. He vents it all out in an anger infused rant and talks about how he wants to be loved and seen and is crying as well as shouting. Everyone is horrified and Arthur feels guilty and betrayed. Percival knocks him out so that they can talk about this. They spend the night there and decide to wait til the morning to decide to help M or not (basically they all would save M they jus dont know if A would save him or not [even though they all know he would]).

Arthur sleeps and ,through Kilgarrah’s (is that how you spell it?) creepy ass voodoo magic, sees a life without Merlin in it. He wakes up with a shout and realizes. That. was. a Nightmare. a life without Merlin was literally a nightmare. He thinks back to the rant and knows that even though Merlin was scared and did things selflessly, he meant no harm to camelot and did it all out of Love. Bc he loved Arthur. Arthur then has an epiphany and realizes his “heart burn” is emotions. yike. And with that Arthur decides to help M. 

They get him to the lake and its basically a repeat of the day before with the screaming and shouting. But this time, Morgana’s men have arrived. With Morgana. cause drama.

Now the knights and gwen grab their swords and make a wall while M and A stay behind. Arthur tries to get through to Merlin and says “I am sorry with all my heart” and Merlin hesitates. 

Then a few of the evil dudes get through the wall and advance towards Arthur and Merlin. Arthur steps forward to fight and Merlin watches and realizes that Arthur would fight for him, would die for him just as Merlin had vowed to do. this man was worth it and that he knew that with all his heart. 

Merlin walks into the lake, glows a little and walks out normal. he like slow walks past the wall and uses his magic in a super badass way and just scares Morgana bc of how powerful she is. she yeets herself out of there and everyone hugs merlin and they tell him how much they all love him. Arthur in particular just kisses him right there and then, all adrenaline and happiness.  

On the way home, he tells the stories of all the times he used magic. they realize that even though he was under Morgana’s will, this is still what he felt, the fear, the anxiety, the pain. Arthur goes back and repeals the ban and makes Merlin his consort. prob some nice angst with requited love. 

the end.

someone write this pls. i have these thoughts at 11:23 pm and dont have the motivation to actually write something like this. 

[mageghost]

this is my official reaction post to bbc’s merlin

so i stop clogging the dash with my blubbering

22:07: ive seen this show before. i know what happens. does this somehow make rewatching it better or worse? idk. but im stupid in love with this show. i could be doing something productive. yknow, like writing the new story idea i have, or studying for math (egfnffgjk hhere’s the anxiety coming!!!!!) but ujhhh, no, i decided that rewatching merlin was best for me

22:08: IT’S HIS DAD HIS  DAD IS HERE HIS DAD!!!!! THE DRAGONLORD B4 MERLIN!!!! HIS DAD HAS COME TO HIM!!!!!!!!

22:09: hey i wish there was a second modern-era merlin. also hey noah fence but w/out magic merlin is literally suicidal so uh. whats up with that

22:13: yknow at first when gwen was kidnapped and tortured into submission by morgana i was really angry at the writers for just turning all the girls ~~evil~~ but then she came back. i still dk why  it was necessary to temporarily turn gwen evil or why it was even necessary for her to have kissed lancelot before her and arthur’s marriage?? but ok i guess u need something to write about besides like, some one tryna kill arthur for the 22455th time

22:16: so i guess merlin just got his magic back from his father? what if his father’s soul was a price it took for him to get his magic back? i mean all his shit was like... miraculously healed when he woke up?

22:17: uhhhhhhh arthur just said “for the future of the united kingdoms” like OK!!! I LIKE THE DUMB FORESHADOWING

22:18: kinda lazy writing in that all merlin needs to do to achieve his 1′’’TRUE POWER””” is move towards the light in the center of the crystal cave. but whatever

22:19: also i guess balinor’s spirit is still here so that shit with balinor giving his spirit in order for merlin to get his magic back is false. its just the Crystal Caves’ magic helping merlin??? ok

22:20: i rly enjoy the differing choreography of this fight scene. top notch, good stuff.  but also. uh. why is merlin old now

22:21: i also forget how they fit all this shit into the final episode. like. how does all this wrap up in 48 minutes. i remember so much more storytelling?

22:22: ok im gonn a stop spewing thoughts so much and focus on the actual episode, despite the fact - WAIT WHERE DID MERLIN GET A FUCKIN HORSE? and again, WHY IS HE OLD

22:24: but ok before i forget can i ask what the FUCK was up with that fucking blue thing a few episodes ago. like legitimately. what the fuCK. what THAT.

22:25: oh ok merlin’s old so he can help arthur without revealing his identity and be a fucking badass holy shit. lightning from the staff on top of a stormy cliff? a=mazing

22:29: so i guess arthur’s cool? oh no wait, he just fell lmao. get rekt

22:32: fuckin merlin looks like that one dude from the newest harry potter movie, like he looks like a fuckin asshole with a bowl cut

22:33: ya merlin why the FUCK ddidnt you take arthur back to the encampment??? ya just gonna leave gwen all alone ? bitch ass is still gay for arthur

22:36: ya ok how did one tiny piece of the sword that was forged in the dragon’s breath just fucking BREAK OFF and embed itself into arthur’s chest

22:37: morgana can fuck off aight

22:41: GWAINE STOP

22:45: oh good eira got fuckin caught get fukt bitch.

22:48: oh thank GD gwen is reacting better to knowing merlin’s a sorcerer than arthur was. i fucking love gwen

22:49: oh god i was right, arthur’s more hurt by the betrayal than the fact that merlin’s got magic

22:50: GOD MERLIN IS SO GAY

22:51: i really dont remeber what happens to gwaine and percival but i m afraid bc i know only merlin can defeat morgana......... right ??? at least thats as far as i can remember

22:52: i fucking love how percival just stabbed morgana and then patted her on the shoulder
