I find the way that BBC Merlin set up Merlin's powers in the first episode to be quite funny. I mean, we see this sort of lanky guy and it is established that he is Merlin and (according to our own common knowledge) therefore he is the most powerful warlock ever. Okay, cool. One might assume that he has come to Gaius to develop his powers, that maybe he's only in the beginning of his magical journey. But instead the exposition shows Merlin, in the pilot episode of this 5 series show, stop time and employ levitation to save someone's life with magic, and then it is announced that prince Arthur is essentially his soulmate, and their joint power will create the most glorious age Camelot has ever seen. Quite an exciting set-up. And then for the rest of the entire show this man who we know possesses TIME-ALTERING POWERS mostly uses them on-screen to do common chores and annoy and prank THAT SAME Arthur. Like that one post said, "All of it's destiny and all of it's his fault." :p
#i also think something tragic comes out of this#he thought things would go as destiny said they would so he did not really try to contradict arthur at all#also poor morgana - but that's a whole other topic#perpetuating repressed queerphobia metaphor? never#he is set up as an almost-god almighty and loving and kind#and both merlin and us imagine this beautiful kingdom#but then even when arthur is king nothing really changes#and it's for many factors one of which is that nothing changes without a fight (queer metaphor? never)#and another is just the heartbreaking fact that merlin is too compassionate for radical action#merlin loves arthur in one way or another#but still his love doesn't compete with his kindness#so at least firstly he can't bring himself to sacrifice someone in the present for an abstract future arthur#a god cannot afford to be too kind#especially not when it comes to time#and even in the pilot his godly powers are attached to a kindness#an obvious one like saving a life#but still a kindness that perhaps not everyone would have employed#bbc merlin#merthur#i'm sorry merlin - you deserved more

this is so funny i knew eoin said he thought gwaine got up and went on his merry way with a concussion and zero recollection of the entire series but i didn't know he got super excited about making a short film about it. it's kind of a huge-brained idea actually since gwaine's character arc starts out with a concussion. mr macken please this could be your magnum opus there is still time
#i can convince him. i can even write the spec script mr macken whats your email address lets make it happen#also whats a pilot episode if not a short film with a cliffhanger. if you think about it. im just saying#eoin macken#gwaine#bbc merlin#bbcm#im falling in love with this idea my fav thing about gwaine is that hes untethered from the orknеys#like i love gаwain but i feel like i cant properly steal him without dragging an entire fucked up family tree along with him#orphaned amnesiac gwaine on the other hand. hi. for the love of god. hello

Merlin and Arthur are just. two cats that are trapped in a house together that have decided they are nemeses. and they’re in love.
#rewatched the pilot again#its so silly#theyre so silly#i saw someone who was like “I’m into merthur but I vowed to never watch merlin”#why tho lol#everything about it is silly#bbc merlin#merthur#arthur pendragon#merlin#merlin emrys

see the thing about the bbc having 10 actors they just rotate around is that I’m listening to a radio show where Uther from bbc Merlin (aka Anthony Head) is playing a pilot.
so in my mind this well dress modern pilot has, for some inexplicable reason, a gold circlet on his head.
the thing is it somehow works.
#bbc merlin#cabin pressure#funnily enough cabin pressure also has benedict cumberbatch in#playing an unconfident barely capable pilot#Sherlock and Uther unexpected besties#Merlin

hi i’m rose, very new to tumblr and honestly a bit confused by it all. i love taylor swift, twenty one pilots, chappell roan, the spiderverse movies, merlin, 911, f1, and a lot of other stuff, ask me about it if you want. i have a sideblog, @nightorchidenjoyer, where i continually profess my adoration of shadowheart from baldur’s gate 3.
#twenty one pilots#taylor swift#into the spider verse#across the spiderverse#bbc merlin#intro post#is it cringe to add too many hashtags?#queer

i’m reading guinevere but i literally just think of bbc merlin every time i open the story
#i’m so sorry guinevere but nothing can compare#that show was so impactful for me#like i have a horrible memory#but i have a vivid memory of watching the merlin pilot at my friend’s sleepover in middle school#and as soon as i saw guinevere and morgana interact i was like are they gay

And we know that canonically Arthur is 20 turning 21 in season one soooo..
#i knew he was supposed to be young!#but i didn't think he was a teenager#i only thought about his age re watching the pilot and seeing merlin actually be a bit childish#bbc merlin#merlin#arthur and merlin#arthur pendragon#merlin season 1

thinkin’ about my Loonatics OCs and missing them
and i want to “distinct uniform” redesign them
#storm says#i miss drawing a few of them actually#tho i want to talk about Cosma the most: if I was more active in the LU fandom Cosma would be the trademark OC of that series#she’s basically the niece of Melvin and originally part of the Martian Army before becoming the first Loonatics without powers from the#asteroid; she works with Tech and Rev the most and has a unspecified dynamic with Duck#also Cosma is the team pilot (having to be a flying ace of the Martian Army)#i also have plans to make a Merlin the Magic Mouse descendant that is a Loonatic with illusion powers
