#merlin in a dress

[cinnabon-sweetroll-tiramisu]

Merlin: *wearing a dress and eating*

Arthur: Merlin, why in heavens name—

Merlin: Morgana said if I wear this she'll buy me some sweet breads, so here I am. You want some?

Arthur: *annoyed* Are you so easily swayed with food that you'll wear anything Morgana gives you?

Merlin: Yes. Also it's not just Morgana. Gwen too, and Mith when she visits. Same with Aunty Ann. They say I look pretty.

Arthur: *disbelief* Guinevere is in on it too–wait, who is Mith and Aunty Ann?

Merlin: *mouth full of sweet bread* Princess Mithian and Queen Annis.

Arthur: *shock* What!?

*Merlin and Heath discussing looking rather serious from distance"

Merlin: I can ask Morgana for some jewelry.

Heath: good. I got some fabric in so I'll get started on the dresses.

Merlin: are you making them yourself?

Heath: do we want the tailors to find out and spoil the surprise before the feast?

Merlin: ....no. you know, I know it's just a dare from Arthur but now I'm serious.

Heath: I don't know why you had to drag me into this but sure. Let's do this.

Merlin now truly regrets this decision as everyone loved the show too much and he constantly gets the request to dress up in a dress but at the same time, he enjoys it because he can see everyone's laugh and smile. (no, he does not notice Arthur and Gwaine 'enjoying it' with heart eyes)

Side note: Wilfred had another queer awakening.

Wilfred: *tipsy* you are so pretty. Can I have your name?

Heath: it's me, Heath. Your coworker.

Wilfred: *blink* ......what?

a reminder of you (and me)

Your Merthur fanart is amazing! I LOVE the way you capture their expressions!!! If you've got the spoons might I request Arthur seeing Merlin in a wedding dress and being absolutely poleaxed because since when was Merlin hot- (they're idiots in love your honor). You capture their entire like. Fundamental dynamic SO WELL; your art is expressive and beautiful and I love it.

Merlin likes t help where he can

The good old days

firmly believe Arthur knew Merlin had a life or death secret that he Could Not tell Arthur. He just thought that secret was he was a sodomite and Uther would execute him for perversion.

(whether cuz he was gay or a cross dresser is secondary. they wouldnt even recognize a difference tbh. not officially at least. what im saying is Arthur believed he was protecting what the 21st century would recognize as a queer or GNC man from legal action and a permanent public shame)

I promised Arthur art then proceed to do his wife and first knight instead — I'd say sorry but... I mean, look at them

Anyways: it's Rupert Young's birthday, if that explains how this happened now of all times

Merlin witnessed how women acted his entire life, and realised they’re just as humans and they’re just as different.

If we really need to find a definition, he was definitely always opened minded. He knew everyone was different, because he was different to begin with, and accepted any sort on new person coming in his life, all types of women, from magical ones to farmers to warriors to nobles, from his friends soon knighted, to more common citizens and ladies of the court, to Morgana, Gwen and even Morgause, who Merlin didn’t find strange at all that she wanted to fight in armour and against Arthur, of all people, because Merlin’s just a silly, little guy from a small village with one of the most rebellious person ever as a friend, and a single woman as a mother.

Which means:

the way Merlin decided to act once he aged himself into The Dolma, was all his doing, and he decided to do it in that way, and it is unbelievably amazing😭.

Merlin decided The Dolma should have worn a dress; he decided she should have had an high pitched voice.

IT WAS MERLIN who decided The Dolma should have flirted with Arthur, and gesture with her hands like that, because to Merlin, if he had to be a woman, then he would have been still himself, still sassy, but also elegant, and outright flirty with everyone, just with a different appearance.

He did not care in the slightest? Like, that’s what gets me. He was more tired of having to hide, than having to pretend to be a woman. I know he was enjoying himself, I just do.

Which means Merlin wanted to flirt with Arthur, but realised he could have done it only by being a woman. I love how he was able to keep his character and just… Didn’t change anything of himself.

It’s like, each time he pretends to be Dragoon or The Dolma, he can let out those things about him that he can’t show otherwise.

For him, there were no rules to follow, and the way he tells Arthur and Mordred that he wanted a man by his side for protection, because she’s an old woman, oh my god, that is hilarious, and it makes me laugh each time.

“Oh, the gangly boy.”

Merlin described himself as a gangly boy😭I can’t do this. I love The Dolma. I love Dragoon The Great.

I love Merlin. He has so much imagination, it’s unbelievable.

Arthur: Not this again.

Merlin with a mouth full of freshly baked bread and once again wearing a dress. Arthur will not admit out loud but his manservant does look rather lovely, still he sighs, massaging his temple

Arthur: Who bribed you.

Merlin: *points to a smiling Gwen and smirking Morgana*

Arthur: *annoyed* I cannot leave you alone for an hour and you get yourself into this!

Merlin: *smiling with cheeks full of bread*
