#i do not blame arthur for falling madly in love with this fool

[whataboutthreateninganass]

merlin absolutely baffles me every day. cos he’s a small lad (minus s5 merlin 🥰 but that’s a topic for another day) and quite unassuming, but he has absolutely zero social anxiety, and simply does not get embarrassed ever.

bro rocks up to Camelot on his first day and just picks a fight with this random bulked up dude WHO TURNS OUT TO BE THE PRINCE. and the next day, after having been briefly thrown in jail for his antics, just starts calling this dude names, firing off OUTRAGEOUS insults to the point the guy is left completely speechless, cos why is this peasant boy sassing me and why am I allowing it? and then bro gets in a physical fight with this guy. mind you, this guy is twice the size of merlin and also happens to be a KNIGHT, who has trained in combat his whole life. AND MERLIN JUST SENDS IT, using magic left right and centre, in front of a massive crowd of people, to ABSOLUTELY DESTROY THIS DUDE.

and then no explanation or apology, merlin casually saves this guy from a dagger to the heart, and proceeds to flirt with him for the next ten years. like???!!!

and there are so many examples of this absolutely shameless behaviour across the series. it is absolutely hilarious, terrifying and strangely commendable. 

one thing about merlin is that he will not give a single fuck ever.
