#jealous Merlin

[mandoriana]

Nothing is funnier to me than Arthur thinking he's lost his charm over time when in reality it's just that Merlin is menacingly glaring over his shoulder all the time.

Like, Arthur is so used to having Merlin a step behind him "watching over" him that he doesn't even register the presence of the powerful Emrys who growls whenever someone approaches his king. So he's like, what am I doing wrong??? Why am I flirting and this lady/lord isn't flirting back?? Could it be that I'm not as attractive as I used to be? Have the years made me less desirable??

Arthur: *staring at his reflection in the mirror, frowning*

Merlin: *deeply worried* Is something wrong, my king?

Arthur: I think I’m not as handsome as I used to be...

Merlin: *ready to slay someone* Who said this blasphemy!

Royal woman approaching Arthur for a dance

Arthur: did it hurt when you fell from heaven?

Merlin: actually yes. That hurt a lot.

Arthur: wha- I wasn't talking to you!!!!

... Later ...

Gwen: why is Arthur so nervous around you?

Merlin: Arthur was trying to rizz someone up, which annoyed me, so I put an end to it.

Gwen: what did you do?

Merlin: nothing.

Gwen: ...

Merlin: at an unrelated note, what kind of angels does Arthur believe in? The ones with the wings, or the formless ones with the giant eye balls? Or do you think it would be enough for my eyes to glow a little in the dark when he's not suspecting anything?

whats so funny to me is how merthur deal with jealousy and the knights’ knowledge of it. like arthur? he is so obvious. SO obvious to literally everyone but merlin. he’s pouty and then aggressive. the knights know this. as touched as they are by merlin’s compliments, they desperately want him to stfu bc every word of praise he gives them, is one more level of how enthusiastic arthur will be when he demands they spar with him.

merlin is literally the same but the knights never really see him get jealous. arthur is obsessed with merlin so there nothing really for merlin to get jealous of. until theres a repeat of cedric where arthur is annoyed by how often merlin has been shirking his duties and takes a new servant just to mess with him. and then merlin is glaring at the new serving boy when neither he nor arthur is looking at him, he is “super clumsy” around the new servant and “trips” on his way out of the stables after mucking them out and “accidentally” covers the servant in horse dung, and sets up scenes for the new servant to fail and thin arthur’s patience until he fires them. then he turns to merlin and is like “i need this done” and the knights expect merlin to act like arthur and jump at the chance to attach himself to arthur’s side, but merlin just smiles politely and says “oh im sure george/gwen/any other servant in camelot would be honored to do that for you, sire” and walks away

anyway i would love to see the knights who have to constantly suffer a jealous arthur sit back and watch a jealous merlin fight his foe in his own way. then watch the slight difference between jealous!merthur as where arthur would drag merlin with him everywhere, merlin can’t seem to get away from arthur fast enough. now arthur is chasing merlin around like a love sick puppy. the knights are in awe. the newer knights who weren’t aware before, now have to confront the fact that this insolent servant has the king of camelot wrapped around his little finger.

Dear Diary Series

(don't mind me, I'm just archiving shit on my Tumblr. Sorry for the fanart dump)

[theroundbartable]

Firstly, OP is right and should say it and someone has to write it who isn't me.

Now: my random and unasked for meta analyses.

I think, Arthur WANTED to make Merlin jealous. Because yes, he liked the attention. But he kept telling Merlin 'why aren't you doing this'?' (not an actual quote).

Arthur: see Merlin? Cedric thinks it's an honor to serve me.

Arthur: look at that, Merlin! Cedric saved my life/killed our prey!

Arthur: look, Merlin! Cedric already did all your chores.

And then? Then Merlin insulted Arthur to his face, while botching his job and Cedric suggests Merlin is just tired, probably expecting Merlin to be sacked.

At this point, it's no longer funny for Arthur. Because, remember, as Merlin's master, Merlins behavior reflects on HIM. Besides, he can't go and clean up after Merlin when he keeps letting the horses loose. At first, Arthur agrees to just give Merlin some time off, which Merlin stubbornly rejects and insults him.

And after all that, Arthur still reacts like this: "Cedric's right. He can look after me tonight. You can go home and think about whether you want to be my servant or not."

That is not sacking. Arthur is literally insisting Merlin take the night off. He's still keeping him.

And I personally think that he considered Cedric's words and is now trying to force Merlin to rest.

Remember, at this point, Sigan is not yet possessed.

Then comes the night that Sigan steals the key and gets possessed. The reason why Merlin knows it was Cedric and that he is possessed, is because Merlin and Cedric were the only people who had access to Arthur's keys that night.

So, Merlin confronts Arthur. And these are the things Arthur actually says. (You can look up the script of the episode in the Merlin Wiki)

"this nonsense isn't helping you keep your job."

Merlin is on probation, still not entirely sacked.

"You're still going to shout anyway? Cedric! Will you escort Merlin from the palace?"

There is still no: you're relieved from your duties, Merlin.

Merlin and Cedric fight.

Arthur watches with THAT face. *Eyeroll*

"You've gone too far this time, Merlin! You can spend a few days cooling off in the cells. Guards!"

I feel like cooling off implies that Arthur will talk to him after Merlin's time in the cell. And THEN decide whether or not to keep him.

The scene ends here and Merlin and Arthur don't meet until after the end fight.

Yadda yadda yadda...

They meet again in Gaius chambers.

"I've not forgotten about your insolent ways (...) i admit that there was some truth in your accusations against Cedric"

Merlin: "does this mean you're admitting(...) I was actually right?"

"Not exactly, no. (...) Ihave (...) No one to clean my armour."

I don't know how you feel, but I keep remembering this episode as the one where Merlin got sacked. Truth is, he wasn't. (That was the Valiant episode, right?)

Now, why am I saying all this then?

I believe that the entire time in this Episode, Arthur really just wanted to make Merlin jealous, then realized he took it too far for Merlin to handle (didn't actually want the servants to fight), and then continued to insist that Merlin take a day off.

In the end, Arthur dismisses his chance to take the excuse that Merlin was trying to protect Camelot as reason to let him keep his job.

Nahah. That man wants Merlin as his servant, no matter how much he sucks at his job. And this episode shows how much Arthur means it. Because he didn't need an excuse to keep Merlin. He just needs Merlin to be happy and only mildly aggravated with Arthur so they can keep arguing.

...

I know, this episode contains the Sigan's quote: "he tossed you aside without a second thought!"

And I know Merlin believes it. But I don't think ARTHUR does.

Making this post because i went back to watch the episode and it’s hilarious.

Arthur was wayyy to obsessed with Cedric.

like Merlin was rightfully jealous.

Because why is arthur touching and grabbing this man every 30 seconds and is set on “rewarding him”. Cedric said I only desire one thing and arthur immediately said anything. 🤨 I know what you are arthur pendragon.

“I want a position in the Royal household”

“Perfect”🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

talking about some “Cedric can take care of me tonight.” Like enough with the bedroom talk Merlin has horse shart on his face.😒

Cedric and Merlin 10/10 interactions. I need a fic where it’s the exact same thing but Cedric isn’t evil and Merlin actually loses it and just fights him.

Leon: My king, I didn't think you would participate in today's tournament.

Arthur: I changed my mind

Leon: Didn't you say that you was to remain in the balcony to accompany the visiting Lords?

Arthur: It's a matter of honor!

Gwaine:...

Gwaine: Merlin said Lance would win

Leon: Aaaahhhhh...

[boggywitchin]

Merthur prompt (inspired by another prompt I saw a while back)

Merlin accidently drinks a love potion meant for Arthur and now he's in love with some court lady. Everyone else thinks Merlin is just being a silly little guy(tm) with a silly little crush, but Arthur immediate drags his besotted manservant to Gaius demanding to know what's wrong with him. They figure out what's happening and bring the court lady to Gaius's chambers for more information, but she doesn't know anything beyond the potion was to make who ever drank it madly in love with her. Trying the age-old cure, the court lady and Merlin kiss (because Merlin insists that *she's* his true love), but of course it doesn't work.

Cue everyone in the castle/lower town lining up to kiss Merlin (Gwaine is first to volunteer) while Arthur just silently seethes in the corner trying to justify his feelings of jealousy as somehow platonic. Whether out of exasperation or some soft sitting-by-the-fireplace scene while Merlin waxes poetically about love and heart break, Arthur realizes things. They kiss and the spell is broken. He then has to splutter out a bunch of excuses to explain to a very confused Merlin why their faces are inches apart and why he can't remember anything after sneaking some wine earlier.

Everyone accepts that the potion must of worn off and that's why Merlin is back to normal. Now if only they could figure out why Arthur blushes every time he looks at his manservant...

[yellowpamonha]

so I read someone talking about a merlin deleted scene where merlin compliments the knights and arthur gets pissy and goes fight them to prove that he is better, and I thought it was an exaggeration but it ISNT AT ALL

scene includes:

Arthur says that Percival is strong but not agile, he isn’t the whole package. Merlin agrees and says that GWAINE is the whole package

Arthur goes off to fight Gwaine, who takes his shirt and gives it to Percival??? akjdjda

(we were robbed of shirtless gwaine with a sword)

Arthur then goes fight Elyan, wins, and goes brag to merlin saying, and I quote, “Elyan has got concentration, strength, the whole package, and still I win! What do you have to say about that?” while being dangerously close to him

They had to take it out because it’s the gayest scene I’ve ever watched in my whole fucking life they wouldn’t be able to beat the merthur allegations after it

EDIT: the video is in this post

MERLIN | 5.04 Another’s Sorrow

[mandoriana]

Arthur: Merlin...

Merlin: Here we go again.

Arthur: If you walked into a room and the 5 most beautiful people in the world were there...

Merlin: Who...

Arthur: It doesn't matter who, they are just the 5 most beautiful people in the world, and they are all completely naked...

Merlin: Hmmm

Arthur: What would you do in that situation?

Merlin: Easy, I would grab the most beautiful one of the room and give that person a big kiss...

Arthur *jealous*: 😒

Merlin: They are the 5 most beautiful people in the world, aren't they?

Arthur: Yes.

Merlin: And they are all naked?

Arthur: Yes, Merlin 🙄

Merlin: Then I would give a kiss to the most beautiful one of all, because clearly, the most beautiful person would be you...

Arthur: 😳

Merlin: But now I'm the one asking you, what were you doing in a room with the other 4 most beautiful people in the world? 🤨

Arthur: Don't talk nonsense now, Merlin.

Merlin: No, no, don't change the subject, sire, what would you be doing in a room with the other 4 most beautiful and naked people? 😡

Arthur: 🙄

[quinnoliver]

Merlin: *takes off his neckerchief to treat Gwaine 's wounds*

Gwaine: Merlin

Merlin: what

Gwaine: yes

Merlin: yes what?

Gwaine: I will marry you -

Arthur: GWAINE

[justaz]

that one deleted scene where merlin compliments percival and arthur takes him down, then merlin compliments gwaine and arthur takes him down, the merlin insinuates they’re letting him win so arthur challenges elyan and wins. merlin laughs after arthur stomps away and then lancelot comes over to chide him and complain and merlin laughs and says that arthur is just so predictable. out of the corner of his eye he can see the king returning so he flutters his eyelashes and places his hands on lancelot’s arms to squeeze his muscles and goes “and you’re all big, strong men. i’m sure you can take it” lancelot stares, confused, but can’t say anything before arthur plows right through them and grabs a weapon before dragging lancelot onto the field with him. lancelot turns to look over his shoulder with a betrayed look and merlin just waves back with a grin. arthur wins. leon sighs tiredly from beside merlin, scaring him bc he didn’t see the knight make his way over to him. leon doesn’t say anything but just gives merlin his Disappointed Mom stare and merlin mutters an apology

[saladscream]

Merlin’s penis is unimportant.

Arthur wants to be very clear about that.

Unimportant and as good as invisible. Inexistant.

Well, that is probably not a very fair or flattering way to put it, but Arthur only has Merlin’s best interest at heart. He doesn’t want Merlin’s penis to be thrown around the conversation with such callousness. Some things in life should remain sacred and a man’s member is absolutely no one’s business but his own.

Alas, it appears some scoundrels out there simply have no respect for the tacit etiquette that governs honest men’s lives. But then, this is Gwaine – what did Arthur expect?

And so Arthur doesn’t listen to the bawdy armoury chatter. He doesn’t want to listen.

What if Merlin’s dick is the prettiest dick Gwaine has ever seen?

Forsooth, has the man no shame?! Oh but Arthur knows what the prattler is doing, and he is fairly certain that the man has actually never seen Merlin’s manhood. Gwaine is merely baiting his fellow knights, luring them in with some savoury piece of gossip. And the tragedy is that the others are lapping it up.

It doesn’t take much to convince the evil little rumourmonger to deliver the lurid, improbable tale of how he came to be acquainted with a part of their friend that decency commands should stay firmly out of sight (and out of reach) from the likes of Gwaine.

Which is when the eager audience learns that not only is said dick pretty, but it is also, in fact, large.

‘Hung like a mule’ is the despicable turn of phrase that the wretch uses. And as though the statement required any enlargement, he adds that the cock at hand is rosy and firm and has a majestic upward curve that tilts slightly to the right when keen.

Arthur is of course outraged. To the point where his mouth feels dry and his heart dizzy.

And to his dismay, the other knights won’t shut up now. They clamour for more details and suitable points of reference. Elyan enquires about length, Percival about girth, while Lancelot remains suspiciously quiet and still – and a tad flushed.

In speechless desperation, Arthur seeks Leon’s bewildered eyes for support.

Gentle reader, there are no words to describe the abyss of betrayal that engulfs him when his longtime friend and right-hand man panics and squawks a ‘well, Arthur’s got a big prick too!’

A dubious and rather offensive hush comes over the men, and the only good thing to come out of Leon’s brainfart is that Merlin’s endowment seems to have been momentarily forgotten.

Utterly defeated and terminally mortified, Arthur gets up on stiff legs and glides out of the armoury, his dignity in tatters.

Just you wait until he gets his hands on Merlin. The prat will rue the day he showed Gwaine his privates.

Just you wait.

Merlin’s arse is his.

I LOVE jealous Arthur

Actually… no scratch that

I love jealous AND oblivious Arthur

Like he’s so confused why he doesn’t like other people looking at Merlin (or touching him or even TALKING to him) and he just thinks it’s because Merlin is HIS manservant

He starts following Merlin around and interrupting conversations he has with others

And disciplining people who flirt with him

And Merlin is completely oblivious to all this
