#i love these parallels so much

In the episode “The Moment of Truth” Arthur’s sword (it could also be Merlin’s one. Arthur tells him to put it down because he looks ridiculous) is standing between them in the ground (where it seems to be stuck on a pile of stones.)

Like it stands between them in season four, in the episode, "The Sword in the Stone" (a sword that, probably like the one in season one, Merlin puts there.)

Excalibur represents Arthur’s ascension to the throne of Camelot in season four.

In the ��Moment of Truth”, Arthur, by helping Merlin and the Elador people take their village back from Kanen, shows the true quality of being a prince, fighting for what’s right and for freedom, and by protecting everyone from greed and injustice.

It’s in this very episode that Merlin wants to tell Arthur the truth about himself; Merlin defends Arthur from Will’s remarks about him.

In season one, Merlin comforts Arthur because Arthur believes is not worth it, that he’s wrong of him to help the villagers fight for their freedom, and that Will might be right about him.

But Merlin tries to make Arthur believe that what he’s doing is right and fair, and that they’re going to win back the village from Kanen.

In season four, Merlin does the same thing:

he tries to tell Arthur that Tristan, who thinks Arthur is selfish and not worth of trust, is wrong, when they need to take back Camelot from Morgana (like they needed to take back Ealdor from Kanen), and sits there with Arthur to comfort him.

In both episodes, Arthur stands in a circle with his people. Regardless of who they are, Arthur protects them, and he doesn’t make a difference of who will fight and who won’t.

Because they're all the same, no matter their rank and status.

And because we know that all Arthur wants is to create a kingdom that is fair and just, and that he doesn't want to rule like his father does/did (given that in season one he goes against his father to take back Ealdor), Arthur shows that he has the making of a great prince/king.

The people, and Merlin, love him for who he is and what he represents, for his courage and kindness, and not only for his title.

We're also shown that with the reason as to why Arthur decides to take the journey to Elador:

to help his citizens; to help innocent people from a greedy and selfish man; to help the man he cares about.

This shows his true colours. Arthur's there for Merlin.

And in both instances, where Merlin believes in Arthur, in his friend, in what he stands for, in his love for not only his people, but for him, Merlin is there for Arthur too.

And Merlin can't help but have hope, respect and love pouring out of him and for Arthur only, and for the prince/king he is/will be.

“I simply cannot believe that a woman with such bravery loves me. How lucky I am to stand by your side and soak up even a little bit of your light. If my only purpose in life is to love a woman as great as you, then I will be a very fulfilled man indeed.”

thinking a lot right now how kabru’s fascination/obsession with humans makes him such a ruthless fighter against them in the same way that laios is so effective against monsters because he studies up on them endlessly

the idea of gay dads post-nimona movie ending is so funny to me because imagine you're ambrosius and you and your husband adopted this little shapeshifter that just found your husband one day and your child looks at you and tells you that she had a baby gay relationship with your great-great-great-great-great-etc-grandmother about a thousand years ago like id be so distraught /hj
