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

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

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.

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.

Why do you hide? You still afraid of me?

I fear no one. Least of all you.

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.

"Everything I do is for him and he just thinks I'm an idiot."

Do you think Colin Morgan knows how he fundamentally altered my life when he delivered that line?
