did……. did it ever cross Arthur’s mind that they’d never get to see each other grow old?
#cause that’s a terrifying thought#like not even in the finale#a random Tuesday while everything was ok#he looked at Merlin while he was sitting on the floor cleaning his armor#noticed how young he looked with the afternoon light reflected in his face#and then began to wonder if someday he would grow a bear#or get wrinkles or whatever#and then wonder if they would get to see each other grow old!!!!#answer no lol you won’t#what began as a random thought became a certainty the moment Mordred did his thing#bbc merlin#merthur#like we’ve seen Colin grow beautifully since Merlin#get butch grow a beard change his hair#but Arthur ??? never got to witness any of that and it’s breaking me#same with Merlin#I know he would go crazy for Arthur if he’d look like Bradley today#my post

does anyone realize how crazy it is to have the actor of a mostly headcanoned queer ship say the fans were never crazy and they were right all along after 10+ years of everyone just absolutely going nuts over the said queerbaited ship
#supernatural#dean winchester#spn#destiel#castiel#deancas#misha collins#im 20 i have been Experiencing supernatural and johnlock since i was 12 and merthur since wayy before that i have fought Wars#this is crazy#i love u hannibal i love u 911 (if u make eddie gay)#for the love of god by 'mostly headcanoned' i dont mean that it was never intentional#i am aware that they put the subtext in on purpose#they knew what they were doing#but my focus here is on the actor actually saying it because like#if its not mostly headcanoned then y was the entire cast denying it for years AND YEARS#like do yall not remember what jared and jenesn used to say#there have been many many many instances where the cast has made us feel crazy/stupid for saying anything abt destiel#im just saying TO ME its crazy that actors and creators talk so openly about these things now !!! again i was raised on merlin and sherlock#ok also im confused on the queerbaiting part#everyones saying its queer coding and not queer baiting but cant they be true at the same time ?#im not being dumb on purpose i swear im just confused#like yes dean is very much bi coded and their relationship is queer coded but if the creators deny everything#and we only get a last minute confession after 11 years#that doesnt count as queer baiting ?#someone smart explain this to me 🙏

my favourite type of fan fictions are like. Slightly canon divergent. Like everything is the same but we fix this one annoying detail you can’t stand and let it butterfly effect the whole story.
#bbc merlin#is this about bbc merlin? absolutley#but this also applies to other fics too#or even an adjustment to the intensity like give me a PJO fic that’s the same but everything is as dark as it should be

Biggest hindrance of Doctor Who being a family show is that it ends up preventing authenticity. By which I specifically mean there's no damn way that Donna's response to some of the things The Doctor says wouldn't have been "Fuck off."
#doctor who#donna noble#tennant doctor#i can HEAR her saying it#what she said: come off it you're the most anomalous bloke i've met#what she meant: the same thing but come off it is replaced with fuck off#donna in legends of camelot the book would've also had the doctor claim to be merlin and immediately have replied fuck off#this is also the main change from canon i make in writing dw fanfiction. donna gets to say fuck

Quick! While Merlin is randomly trending: I went to the Renaissance Faire this weekend and made a Merthur coin necklace!
Dragon for Arthur and triskelion for Merlin!
Two sides of the same coin and all. I was proud. I had to in depth explain this to my friend that I went with.

90% of the problems in bbc merlin are caused bc that fuckass dragon was a committed merthur shipper but only in the sense that he had a crippling addiction to tragic yaoi
#kilgharrah was such a bitch like just bc u desperately need ur ship to be miserable doesnt mean u have to make evryone else miserable 2😭#'youre two sides of the same coin🥰 anyway u should definitely drive away this friend of yours and kill this kid' like STOPPPPPP#merthur#bbc merlin#bangers

Not just lovers.
But each other’s half. Each other’s person.
Each other’s destiny. And each other’s bane.

does the bbc even understand how much money they’d make if the made a Disney Enchanted 2007 style Merlin sequel where Merlin has been alive, moving from place to place, magicking himself young and aging then moving and magicking himself younger and aging then moving and suddenly Arthur pops out of a lake, completely unaware of current events and is walking around demanding his manservant, claiming to be King Arthur Pendragon and he either
a. Gets on the news somehow and Merlin, doing whatever he’s doing now, sees and drops everything because WHAT IS ARTHUR DOING HERE AND ALIVE
b. Meets Merlin who has been working as a detective somewhere -because that’s basically what he did anyway-solving things and helping people, the family business, and Arthur is dragged in, handcuffed, and plopped in an interrogation room or the drunk tank with the cop who found him saying like This wacko thinks he’s some medieval king, go deal with him, and Merlin scoffs and walks in, promptly dropping his files and spilling his coffee when he sees a disheveled and petulant Arthur, who goes Merlin, finally, get me out of here already, will you and Merlin starts crying lmaooo
or c. Meets Merlin who has been working at an ER because, again, he was physician adjacent, and someone drags a wet Arthur in, like Found this, it looks like he might hypothermiate deal with him, and Merlin sees him, drops his files, spills his coffee, and starts crying hahaha
because I’m thinking that’d be fun and probably everyone on tumblr and everyone who knows someone on tumblr would go bonkers over it

I was watching the episode where Merlin disguised himself as the “dolma” and I was feeling frustrated at Arthur’s lack of concern to Merlin’s whereabouts. It goes against everything we’ve ever seen of him. He never forgets Merlin and he’s never calm when Merlin is in potential danger.
So I was thinking to myself, why? Why would Arthur forget Merlin? And I remembered that, despite being an old woman sorceress, he immediately felt like he knew her somehow. She is everything that Merlin is not (to his knowledge), and yet he somehow knows her. Just like he did with “Dragoon”.
“You seem familiar, sorceress” - Arthur
And as the “dolma” points out he’s forgetting something, he jokes with her the exact way he does with Merlin. “Ah, I thought things had gone unusually smoothly” + other lines. Why would he do that?
Because a part of Arthur knows Merlin is standing right in front of him. He’s unable to recognize that he’s forgetting Merlin, because he can feel that he’s standing right there. He bickers with her because that’s Merlin. She has to explicitly point out that it’s Merlin he’s forgetting, in order for his brain to override his feelings.
Arthur always knew the true Merlin. Even if neither of them knew it.
“I would recognize you in total darkness, were you mute and I deaf. I would recognize you in another lifetime entirely, in different bodies, different times. And I would love you in all of this, until the very last star in the sky burnt out into oblivion.” - Recognition

There's this intensity in the way that Merlin and Arthur look at each other, like they're discovering the other half of themselves within every glance.

why can’t gay people just be normal and say I love you, why’s there always gotta be some great dragon in the middle saying shit like “a half cannot truly hate that which makes it whole” and “you’re like two sides of the same coin”
#smh… gay people#if I had a dollar for every time THIS happened#bbc merlin#merlin#arthur pendragon#merthur#bug live blogs#edit: since people are rbing this as an aside by gay i mean queer not just exclusively mlm. just so we’re on the same page.
