fandom ask game: 9 - Funniest character

okay, no one asked but I've been dying to say this:

Arthur is funny. ARTHUR IS FUNNY. Not just in a comic relief kind of way (although Bradley delivers in spades when it comes to making silly faces), I mean he has a delightfully wry sense of humour, and I don't think it's appreciated enough.

I think Gaius is also hilarious, but in a different way (trolling people).

hi, i'm new to this fandom and i just love to suffer because of merthur. could you recommend me some blogs who are very good at causing that?

Hmm, that’s a tough one... I feel like almost every Merlin blog hands out its fair share of suffering, because nearly every blog dashboard looks like this:

Post 1:  Animated gif of Arthur Braying With Donkey Ears

Post 2: Super-closeup photo of Merlin tearfully cradling Arthur’s head as he dies

Post 3: Photo of Merlin standing with a bucket on his head

Post 4: Thirst post about Bradley in his Simpleton!Arthur clothes with his butt sticking out clearly not wearing any underpants

Post 5: Video clip of Arthur getting stabbed by Mordred

Post 6: Gifset of Merlin wrestling Arthur to the ground in the Council Chambers while pulling down Arthur’s pants and Merlin shouting “your majesty!” with his face pressed to Arthur’s groin.

Post 7: That Damned Tower On Its Island In The Middle Of Lake Avalon

and so on.

I think there may be blogs that specialize in the whump and the pain and the angst... but I try to avoid those things.  

You can always go to AO3 and seek out stories with those tags... Sometimes AO3 writers put their Tumblr links in their profiles.  Maybe you can follow the suffering from AO3 to here!

merlin s3 ep3: goblin’s gold

ya girl is BACK

- omg the geoffrey the librarian is back. love that bitch and he’s super unhelpful. merlin’s like “i need this books” and he’s like “it’s in the east wing. no idea where lol” and makes no attempt to get up and help him look

- merlin has triggered a secret entryway into a spooky back room of the library and has accidently released a hideous cgi goblin voiced by arthur weasley

- the goblin is causing a tremendous amount of chaos and he’s running around and smashing things and ransacking arthur’s room looking for something? i presume gold just based on the title of the episode

- bradley james is FINE! how i could i have left him for so long?

- damn uther is still alive? what a disappointment. though its a bit of a consolation to know that the goblin caused him to lose his hair and he looks like a hard boiled egg

- we get SHIRTLESS BRADLEY JAMES IN THIS EPISODE?? YESSS

- merlins trying to sneak into arthurs room to steal gold to tempt the goblin and arthur wakes up so he enchants his bed hanging to fall on top of him and there’s like a full thirty seconds of arthur wandering around unable to see and flinging a sword everywhere and its hilarious 

- lol okay the goblin has possessed gaius and gauis is licking gold and throwing shit everwhere and merlin’s like “wow gaius is sure acting weird lol i wonder whats up??” what an idiot

- lmao this episode is fucking crazy. not as crazy as the episode where uther fucked a troll though so i will give it a pass

- lmao there’s a montage of goblin gaius ineffectively treating patients. he makes one man with a broken rib yell a series of nonsense words and then pauses for a long time and finally announces “he’s certain to die” and i laughed out loud lmao

- LMAO now goblin gaius is “curing” uther’s baldness by slapping him repeatedly over the head and i laughed out loud again. what an iconic episode. fuck uther.

- UTHER IS WEARING THE UGLIEST HAT IVE EVER SEEN TO COVER HIS BALDNESS IN FRONT OF THE COURT AND IM CRYING 

- goblin gaius told geoffrey the librarian to, quote, “lose some weight fatty”. what is this episode

- oh man merlin is being accused of causing all of the afflictions in the palace through magic. damn this boy gets accused of magic and gets away with it so often for someone who is actually a wizard. he tries to expose gaius as a goblin but obviously no one believes him. 

- LEON IS HERE HOLY SHIT. HE HAD SO MANY LINES OF DIALOGUE IM SO PROUD 

- damn merlin is really using magic to escape after being put in jail for using magic. bold move.

- katie mgrath is beautiful btw. i haven’t mentioned it yet and i needed to throw that in there.

- aw gwen still has feelings for arthur. cute. 

- ARTHUR DID BELIEVE MERLIN and he finds out the truth about gaius. what a supportive bf.

- GOBLIN GAIUS GAVE ARTHUR DONKEY EARS AND HE CAN ONLY BRAY INSTEAD OF TALKING WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON 

- merlin of course thinks this is the funniest thing in the world. i do too.

- damn okay so merlin has to kill gaius briefly in order to get the goblin out of him. im sure this is gonna go great

- leon had MORE LINES YES BBY

- wow okay so the goblin has been trapped but all of the potion bottles fell on the floor  and gwen and merlin have to frantially search to find the antitode to revive gaius. he’s not waking up and merlin yells “COME ON YOU STUBBORN OLD GOAT” which, personally, is not something i would say if one of my loved ones was actively dying in front of me. 

- gaius clears merlins name in the court and all is well and good

- gwen and arthur had the most awkward conversation in the hallway wow guys get a room 

- ohmygod arthur is still braying occasionally. imagine if he did that for the rest of the show

next episode: gwaine
