POV you’ve informed the Queen and the Court’s Sorcerer of something and they very clearly know something that they’re not letting on

Merlin 1x13 Le Morte D'Arthur

[starchaser45]

Merlin's s mom hunith: I was hoping you'd stay just friends

Arthur*chokes*

Merlin*smirking*: why is that mom

Hunith: if I recall correctly he didn't want women to fight

Arthur*chokes*

Hunith: looked down on my house

Arthur*chokes*

Hunith: would have killed will if he stayed alive or at least banish him

Arthur: hold o_

Hunith: and he hated my food

Arthur*chokes again*: I'm really sorry *walks away slowly sulking*

Merlin: you like him don't you

Hunith:of course but I'm still petty

Merlin: god I missed you mom

[rosemarytales]

I don't think we as a fandom talk enough about how arthur actually desperately didn't want to be a prince

Hunith and Merlin, 1x10, The Moment of Truth

I can't just stick to one style can I? This shot was begging to be painted like this though. 12 hours.

merlin told arthur his favorite color was the color of the sky during sunset when it shifted into a deep violet. arthur gets a tunic made in that exact shade. its the best thing merlin owns. arthur was hoping that would mean he’d wear it almost everyday but merlin almost never wears it. the only time he does wear it is when royals come to visit (which isn’t all that often). arthur “subtly” asks about it and merlin is like “it’s the best thing i own. i’m not gonna dirty it mucking out the stables or serving rowdy knights wine while they splatter food on it” and arthur is like “why not wear it when nobles come to visit? look at least a little presentable for them” (cough nice save). merlin doesn’t see the point in it bc nobles don’t care about him at best, view him as less than human at worst.

arthur really just wants to see his boyfriend servant in the tunic he had made for him (bonus points for sending a message that merlin is his. not that merlin seems to notice. man is too much of an idiot). merlin wants to preserve his favorite tunic and gift from his boyfriend king.

canon merthur is so special because they’re ACTUALLY the only one who gets to accompany the other meeting each-other’s deadTM parents.

we saw arthur meeting ygraine only through merlin lens (+ the whole sigil thing????) and the only one who get to see merlin and balinor spend time with each-other is arthur

[regulusrules]

sometimes it's a bit embarrassing really to be a merlin fan irl. was in a museum yesterday in luxembourg displaying the history of europe, and before anyone could notice, there was a very undignified shriek erupting from me in the middle of the place as I saw this

Merlin trying to be nice to Mordred after Arthur asked, part 7

Arthur *dragging Merlin by the ear*: Could you at least try to be a little nicer to Mordred!?

Merlin: I was being nice!

Arthur: You were threatening him with a dagger, Merlin!

Merlin: Well, yes, but I only *threatened* him, I didn't actually kill him or anything!

Arthur: Wow, Merlin, how amazing, you didn't commit a crime, congratulations to you 🙄.

Merlin: I... *crosses his arms* I didn't like your tone, sir.

Arthur: 😒

Merlin: Don't make that face at me! I'm trying to be nice to Mordred, but sometimes he makes things difficult!

Arthur: You know, you really should learn to be nicer and less...you.

Merlin: You know what, sir, if being sarcastic burned calories—you would be a lot skinnier right now, what a shame it doesn't work that way for you.

Arthur: Are you calling me fat!?

They start arguing.

Mordred: 🥺 *watching mom and dad fight for the sixth time in just one hour*

hunith really did love that gay son of hers didn’t she

[aspentreeonahill]

So i showed my mom one of my merthur edits and looked up at me and said “does he die? :(“ AND POINTED TO ONE OF MY ARTHUR POSTERS

[1asbrightasthestars3]

Sometimes I forget that fanon shit isn't canon. Like in the Merlin fandom, what do you mean Arthur wasn't in love with Merlin and KNEW IT when he was about to die?? Or in the teen wolf fandom what do you mean Liam didn't get his IED from his biological father and the name of his parents isn't Jenna and David geyer?? Like these things are full on Canon to me.

That's why I add subtext when I tell my friends about the shows I like. And the funny thing is, it doesn't change the perspective of things. I can tell my friends "this is where this guy felt this and this girl did that beforehand" and it doesn't change the scene, it just gives it more depth.

So fanon is canon. Thanks for listening to my little rant.

7 Deadly Sins: Gluttony

[turtlefordestiel]

Mordred has a mom, two dads, and five uncles (two of whom are most likely dating Merlin) [it's Gwaine and Lance], along with two High Prietess aunts (Morgana and Morgause are good and Merlin blessed Morgans with the title and knowledge) and two siblings (Daegal and Aithusa). Gaius is great uncle/grandfather and Uther is Merlin-dedicated kind to Morderd before he knows he's a druid because Mordred often trails one of his parents throughout the day being exceptionally helpful and has been known to help Merlin nag after Arthur plus it doesn't hurt that Mordred is good with a sword (Uther visited training in secret and saw him off to the side as if hiding to practice by his pre-teen self)
