i love how merlin bbc is :

75 % pendragon 25 % everyone else

[merlinemrys]

i wholeheartedly believe familial dynamics have the potential to overshadow any romantic or platonic relationships fr like yes merlin and arthur have this great destiny together and gwen and arthur have a love for the ages for sure but imagine the sting of betrayal arthur felt when morgana turned evil. she's a sorceress. she was a comforting presence when uther's hand grew too heavy. she's a traitor. she knows his favorite places to hide in the castle. she hates him. she was one of the few people who's ever seen him cry. she's his sister. she's his sister.

Arthur & Morgana || Daylight's dying

Here goes a little backstory on the Pendragons! If you'd like to read more about it check out the description in the yt vid.

[camelotsheart]

arthur and morgana telling each other that they're not as different from uther as they'd like to think is such a raw 'i can stab you where it hurts' moment because they're calling each other out on the affection they had for someone who had mostly caused them harm throughout their childhood and adult life. they're calling out their inability to let go of a twisted love that had shaped them into the person they are, no matter how much they tried to stop uther from carving them in his image

hypothetical scenario for you all: the real king arthur returns. you meet him and you welcome him into your home. what is the first thing you do with him? keep in mind, this is a man from the 500s (he died in 542), and you are from the 21st century (2024).

Gwen isn't even mad because she knows how it is when you give Merlin a lil' smooch on reflex.

AU where Arthur finds out about the prophecy and pieces together that "his closest ally Emrys" must be Merlin because who else would it be, but incorrectly assumes that Merlin doesn't know and therefore has never practiced magic before.

Even better if he finds out early season 1 so He's just so devastated the entire time and he's just like "I can't believe this, this prophecy is going to turn my best friend into a sorcerer, and it's all my fault for being the once and future king" and Merlin's in the back just murdering a sidhe

a traitor in camelot? who could it be? 🤨🤨🤨

[merlinemrys]

obsessed with uther saying that arthur's "just a boy" despite arthur almost being of age. but like the weight behind those words is incredible. for how much uther is a horrible king and a horrible father, he will always be arthur's father and arthur will always be uther's son. uther constantly tells arthur that he will take the throne one day and he raised arthur like a soldier first, to put his body on the line for his kingdom, but despite it all uther still shelters him because he will not lose arthur to anything or anyone else

[tiredcowboyy]

merlin has more strength than me bc if I heard uther pendragon bitch and moan about how magic only brings harm after I just saved his sons life for the ten billionth time that year with my magic and almost died yet again, I fear id accidentally turn him into a log

It’s always either or
