"Since our job's done here, let's go set something on fire, Merlin." "Uh, maybe not set something on fire?" Gwen quickly interrupted with a frown. "I'm on Gwen with this one," Merlin said apologetically. "But Merlin! We haven't set anything on fire this past two weeks!" Merlin winced. "Actually… Lancelot and I already set something on fire." Gwaine pouted with resentment. "Oh, sorry. I should have known that you preferred Lancelot over me." "I don't! I like you both equally!" Gwaine turned away from him, crossing his arms. Merlin shared an exasperated look with Gwen. "Look," Merlin said. "We didn't actually mean to set anything on fire. So you really can't base your statement over that." Gwaine turned back to him with glee. "So does that mean you still haven't intentionally set anything else on fire after we burned that old lord's whole underwear drawer two weeks ago?" "I suppose so." Gwaine snapped his fingers. "That's it. We're going to set something on fire."

Just an entire day where Gwaine and Merlin do pranks and shit for the fun of it while everyone around them either a) runs for their life or b) sighs deeply and disapppointedly

Honestly the more you know about the family trees in Arthurian legend the funnier the family tree in the show becomes.

Merlin's Titles!

(How accidentally revealing your status as a king and god may help you marry your boyfriend)

Perchance I read too many fanfics but, consider, if Arthur and the knights have found out about Merlin's magic but unaware of the extend. Let's say... they know he's a warlock and dragon lord. You know what? For the fun of it, let's make it Merthur too.

Imagine a scene, Arthur's at a banquet, already king, not married to Gwen, Lancelot is alive. The knights are joking around, drinking, Lance goes up to Gwen and Merlin who lean against a wall, chatting. Lance asks Gwen for a dance. She blushes and lets herself get dragged away. Gwain takes her place, flirting with Merlin who snickers. The song ends, Lance and Gwen return, grinning and in love. Gwain pushes himself off the wall.

Gwaine: Well, now that Gwen is back she can take care of your tasks for a moment, right?

Merlin: *nods*

Gwaine: *bows* allow me this dance, Lord Merlin?

Merlin: *blushes* That's not my title...

Arthur (who came up to them because he got jealous and also wants to ask Merlin to dance): Oh? What is your title then?

Merlin: *blushes harder* really?

Gwaine (who orchestrated the entire situation): of course, Merls, you gotta tell us the full title. How else would we know how to address you?

The room: *slowly getting quieter as more and more people listen in on the king's conversation*

Merlin: *groans* i hate you

Arthru: spit it out. Don't pretend to be interesting.

Merlin: Fiiiiineeee... Well, we got Merlin Ambrosius, Lord of Dragons... I think after Nimueh I also got Master of Life and Death... according to prophecy also Emrys, King of Druids, God of Magic... *he smiles at Arthur* and completion to the once and future king

The room: *blue screening, buffering, very silent*

Arthur: *kisses Merlin*

Gwain: Lance... did you know Merlin's a god?

Lancelot (very glad he made friends with the kid who almost got eaten by a griffon): I didn't even know about the Life and Death part... though it makes sense... his mortality was always unsure

Geoffrey Monmouth: *frantically searching for laws that make hurting Merlin illegal and make a marriage between Arthur and Merlin legal.*

According to the law loopholes define Merlin as a genderless entity, therefore marrying a god is actually legal. Attacking a noble, especially a Lord and King, is super illegal, making Merthur legally supported and haters imprisoned or dead.

I just really like the thought of Merlin revealing his titles like a collection of scout badges... especially because I hc Arthur to have a competency kink, so finding out his boyfriend technically outranks him is a turn on. Don't tell me i'm wrong, you all saw the show. Arthur definitely has a thing for powerful people

few questions for bbc merlin fans:

what are some changes that you wish you could make to the show? are there any interesting hypotheticals or concepts that you wish were explored more? are there any popular fan ideas that you wish might have been canon? what aspects of arthuriana do you wish they had included or taken inspiration from (other than gawain and the green knight)? i want to hear it all!

THE HOT MEDIEVAL & FANTASY MEN MELEE

QUALIFYING ROUND: 71st Tilt

Gawain, The Green Knight (2021) VS. Sir Elyan, BBC’s Merlin, (2008-2012)

Propaganda

Gawain, The Green Knight (2021) Portrayed by: Dev Patel

“So, first off the movie is based on the anonymous poem from the 14th century so not only is the setting medieval, so is the story. The Green Knight is a vivid dreamscape of a film with all sorts of delightful weirdness to stretch 101 stanzas into a modern movie. And Dev Patel looks incredible whether he's flopping about the forest floor like a dying fish or enthroned in all the finery of the sun itself.”

Sir Elyan, BBC’s Merlin, (2008-2012) Portrayed by: Adetomiwa Edun

“Do I need to provide propaganda? For such an excellent looking guy?”

Additional Propaganda Under the Cut

Additional Propaganda

For Gawain:

“You look at Dev Patel's big, beautiful, brown eyes and tell me he's not perfect. To quote the director "He's incredibly appealing in every sense of the word and yes, he's incredibly sexy. I see no shame in wanting to capture that. I was like, 'I want to see Dev looking as beautiful as he is onscreen and I don't want to shy away from that.' He has such a nobility to him that hasn't been utilized in films because he's such an affable actor who's so quick to break into this boyish smile. It's what made everyone fall in love with him, but in addition to that, there's severity to him that's really captivating." A movie made to say this man is sexy and they did it.”

For Sir Elyan:

Gawain

from Arthurian Legend

[myths0f01d]

Gwaine/Gawain idc how you spell it but anyways he is SO Flynn Rider.

I mean COME ON people. They're identical

[bigfootboyband]

In marrying some of my favorite Arthurian poetry and bbc’s Merlin, here is a small sketch of Gwaine clad in queerness of sexuality and gender.

If you'd like to support me, you can do so here <3

[mazywrites]

Eoin Macken, how I wish you were ever so slightly younger so you could be my Flynn Rider in the Tangled live action 😔

This idea wont leave my head so I'm throwing it out here.

Modern day au: On a night out, and kinda drunk, Arthur and Merlin realise they have all the same exes😮 Also they both dated or hooked up with like 90% of their friend group.

Gawain (who hasn't been with Gawain atleast once?) Lancelot, Percy, even Elyan and YES Gwen!

Gwen and Merlin were like five when they "dated" but they both insist it still counts. They even talked about marriage, which is very serious when you're five. And Morgana 100% backs them up on this!

Their friends, and esp Morgana, thinks the only "solution" to this (as if it were a problem) is that they should fuck, at least once, to close the circuit, so to speak 😁

The boys protest loudly to this, so of course they end up in bed by the end of the night. Somehow this relationship last longer than any other they've had.. the end ❤️❤️😁
