HOW DID I NEVER SEE THIS DELETED SCEEEENNNNEEEE

[emrys-merlin]

Damn there are so many interesting unreleased scenes in the series

In this scene Morgana, who is lying on the brink of death following her encounter with Merlin/Emrys, sees Morgause in the Spirit world and is given a magical coin to revive her. Morgana also will use this coin in the episode Lancelot du Lac to summon Lancelot's spirit.

It certainly raises some questions as to what those people are and what Morgause’s life after death is like and how different it is to the concept of Avalon. Is Uther also now in that dark place? Also it gives a neat link to how Morgana got the coin and how Emrys literally bested her so bad she went to purgatory and get a physical object from her sister to bring back. Merlin wasn't playing around anymore!

This is one of the deleted scenes I always wanted to see so badly, it’s so clear they filmed it without all the special effects at least.

merlin season 5 episode 2 deleted scenes………. arthur trying to send merlin back home so he doesn’t die in ismere, and merlin literally shouting not without you……. MY HEART 🥹 and again this is the gayest show in the world. if there is ever a future season episode anything i need it to be so incredibly gay please

[gd-dollopole]

Let’s take into consideration:

Arthur would rather waste precious time before an important council meeting to run around the entire castle and search for Merlin, who, in his very honest opinion, is the worst servant of the entire kingdom or that he had ever known, than to call literally anyone else to help him dress (as if there wouldn’t be anyone ready to assist Arthur, their king, with clothes);

Arthur, and therefore Agravaine (which makes it all the more hilarious) knows every single place where Merlin could be, at that precise moment, or during that day in general; (EDIT: As someone pointed out in the comments, everyone and Agravaine included, knows who is the “dollophead”)

The guards nod to Agravaine without asking anything, which only means that it is canon that everyone in Camelot knows Merlin by name; EDIT: It also means that the guards deal with this on a daily basis. They must be tired.

The aforementioned point implies that everyone knows how Merlin looks like, that also means Merlin is known to never leave Arthur’s side, even during council meetings;

Arthur is running around the castle in what today we would call a pyjama, just because Merlin didn’t wake him up with, “Rise and Shine”. And he’s barefoot. That’s right. The king of Camelot, everyone, has just walked barefoot in Merlin’s chambers, in the armoury, where other knights probably are, and in the bloody stables (yes, the ones where the horses and their dungs both are), without boots on, just to look for Merlin;

Arthur is more distressed in this scene than in the one where Morgana declares war in season five. He’s fretting like a mother hen. Not only he is without breath, which means he was just coming back from his checking around, but he is red in the face and almost yelling in desperation. “Does he expect me to dress myself?!” Because apparently, Arthur literally cannot do anything without Merlin by his side. The way he says, “No sign of him” to Agravaine is so endearing, and he shouldn’t be this adorable. Unfair, Arthur. Really unfair.

Arthur just yells, (and distressingly looks around) in hope that Merlin will come back to him, because he always does. *sounds of my heart breaking into millions of pieces*

And last but not least, Arthur shouts, “Last night!”, which means the actual reason he’s going around searching for Merlin, it’s because he’s worried his world will end without his quirky and clumsy servant by his side (and the love of his life). Merlin is currently out on a quest with Gwaine to look for Gaius, since he has been kidnapped, but the problem is that Arthur doesn’t know this. What he knows is that he has fought with Merlin the day before about Gaius in the council chambers, and believes Merlin is gone for good, this time, and solely for the fight they had. Arthur feels more than guilty that he can’t make it up to his best friend, the love of his life (Agravaine helped Morgana kidnap Gaius, and it explains the ending of the scene, where he understands where Merlin is.) Now Arthur is worried that his last words to Merlin were harsh. He had last seen him when he was done with his duties the night before, and then Merlin disappeared.

No wonder they deleted this scene.

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

[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

[worthyprnce]

something about merwaine in campfire night scenes sharing intimate conversations and opening their hearts to eachother

"not arthur" "I'd do the same for you" "you're the only friend I've got" "I wont forget this" "one day I'll repay the favour" "I wish I had someone like him" 😔

[pippin-katz]

It does indeed baffle my mind that scenes like these get cut while others stay in that add nothing and contradict other things. As a writer myself, I can’t wrap my head around how they come to that decision.

Why do the writers always delete the scenes with character development and great dynamics?

Merlin and Gwaine discussing about Gaius and Gwaine’s father? Not important! Gwaine is only a comic relief now.

Merlin and Arthur discussing about Morgana? Who cares! Arthur and Morgana are not brother and sister after all. They didn’t grow up together. Arthur doesn’t care about that evil witch. He never cared.

Mordred expressing hesitation to Morgana about joining her too soon before giving Arthur a second chance? Nah. Mordred is super evil now. End of story.

Arthur gave Merlin Ygraine’s sigil AND shows how much Arthur still thinks about his mother and cares for Merlin? How Arthur accepting him in his family? Fuck this scene. Arthur is a prince and Merlin just a stupid servant! We can’t elevate this stupid servant.

Merlin doesn’t intend to join everyone seated at the round table, but Arthur calls him over to sit at his side? Delete this shit! Arthur and Merlin are not equal. They are not two sides of the same coin.

….this is clearly not important.

Thank you, writers!

[thefabledpheasant]

okay!!!! you can revive one singular deleted scene from merlin, JUST ONE! which one is it

Ooooooooo good one, good one!

So, I think most people would be inclined to say the scene where Arthur gives Merlin his mother’s sigil and that is VERY tempting.

However, there’s a scene that’s stuck out to me ever since I saw it. In 04x07, when Gaius has been kidnapped after Aggravaine has made it look like he ran and betrayed Arthur, there’s a deleted scene of Arthur searching frantically for Merlin. The placement of this scene comes after Merlin and Arthur had some verbal sparring because Merlin was incredibly hurt that Arthur didn’t believe Gaius. Merlin leaves to go find Gaius.

And in this scene you have Arthur fucking panicking. Like, full-blown panicking. He’s screaming Merlin’s name. He’s trying to play it off to others as anger that he simply can’t find his servant, but it’s extremely evident that he’s terrified Merlin has left him because of what happened. It’s the kind of shit I read in fics.

I EAT IT UP. Frankly, I needed more of the show showing Arthur going crazy with worry and desperation over not being able to find Merlin. It feeds my soul.

Ask game

[sneakyboymerlin]

do you ever think about how gwaine is canonically given the fandom favorite romance tropes that people typically write for merlin and arthur in fics? gwaine being the only person who goes out of his way to consistently check up on merlin emotionally? protecting merlin from bullying nobles? recognizing and verbally acknowledging merlin's selflessness? worrying openly about his well-being and visibly showing joy when he's okay? the physical touches, the sleeping in merlin's bed! like. for fuck's sake

It’s as Merlin said, “Gwaine’s the full package!”

[morganafayes]

god im just thinking abt how. merlin is always saying that before he came to camelot he thought he was cursed and he hated his magic because he thought it made him a monster but it was also all he had. and then him telling lancelot in s4 that since he found the purpose of his magic (protecting arthur) he doesn't feel that way anymore. sigh. the way out is just another cage!!!
