Something i love about Merlin is that, he doesn't try the typical good guy "No! You can be saved!" around Morgana, Uther or Mordred. He's just like fuck you for hurting my boyfriend, I will break your neck and kill you in the most painful way possible.

[thefirstwormonyourcorpse]

"his life is worth a thousand of mine" sounds like a line from a tragic romance, classic novel that puts others like it to shame.

and yet, it is literally from bbc merlin, a show about a magic servant that tries to sacrifice himself for the life of his prince everyday.

but tbh, king arthur and merlin are a tale of tragic romance and a classic novel.

i cannot believe he is the once and future king-he is so dumbass :''')

What if...Ygraine Returns as a Ghost to Care for Her Son

Servant: Sir, I came to inform you that the knights you sent to battle are all dead.

Uther (sitting on the throne, distracted): Well, send their belongings to their families and tell them they were heroes. And bring more cookies, I'm hungry.

Arthur (six years old, watching the scene with distracted eyes next to a very angry ten-year-old Morgana): Good people die young, so when I grow up, I want to be bad like mom. 😌

Morgana: What are you talking about, Arthur! Your mother was a kind and good woman! Where did you get the idea that she was bad!?

Arthur: Yesterday I heard mom say that her dream was for a manure cart to run over dad so he would die once and for all. 🙂

Morgana (eyes wide in complete shock): Your mother would never say such a thing, Arthur… 🫢

Ygraine (next to Uther, trying to strangle him but unable to because she is a ghost): Don't listen to her, baby, mom hates dad and doesn't support anything he's doing! I still can't believe I married this man, listen to what mom says, Arthur, don't follow in his footsteps!

Arthur (turns to Morgana): Mom just said she hates dad, she's also trying to strangle him, but her hands keep going through his body, I think she's a ghost. 🫠 *slowly losing sanity*

Morgana (realizing that the young prince might be crazy): Arthur, maybe she's just joking…

Ygraine (trying to make Uther trip by stepping on his own cape): I'M NOT JOKING! If I could, I would kill him myself! I just can't because I can't touch him!

Arthur: I don't know if the gods would like so much violence…

Ygraine: The gods don't like your father!

Arthur: Okay… 🙂 *takes a cookie from the tray the servant brought*

hc: merlin can outrun all the knights because he’s always running around the kingdom saving arthur and completing errands for gaius and his tasks as arthur’s servant.

when arthur finds out he is so shocked he just stands there until merlin waves him to follow

pendragon siblings u deserved SO much better.

[thefabledpheasant]

Thinking of both of Uther’s children falling in love with their servants and not some noble is such an unintentional massive fuck you to Uther by them and I love it.

Can you imagine being him? You spend your life spouting all this crap about marrying for advantage/power and that you need to do what’s best for the kingdom and have heirs.

And then you look over and both your children are LGBT and head over heels for their servants. Going so far as to risk their own lives to save them.

[morganadeservedbetter]

Arthur: I just had a thought…

Merlin, and Morgana, simultaneously: Congratulations.

[phd-in-bears]

Arthur: Tonight, one of you will betray me

Merlin: Is it me, Arthur?

Arthur: No, it’s not you.

Gwen: Is it me, Arthur?

Arthur: No, it's not you.

Morgana: Is it me, Arthur?

Arthur: ...

Arthur, mockingly: Is IT mE aRtHUr?

a long rambling/idea/rant of how i want bbc merlin plot to go

Season 1

General: stays the same (light-hearted season) but merlin starts to question gaius and kilgharrah, empathizes with morgana. Elyan is introduced somewhere between episodes. Gwen father didn’t die. Mordred ISN’T introduced yet. Morgana is gaslighted by merlin + gaius (not forever i swear guys)

Finale: merlin vs nimueh (epic battle this time), merlin is almost close to loosing but gaius helps him, however nimueh survives

Season 2

General: introduction of mordred on the second ep (merlin hates him), ep 1 is abt balinor (mentor figure for merlin + should meet with hunnith), arthur finds out abt ygraine (and yes merlin lied abt it) + starts questioning uther, we got more arthur’s pov when merlin is at the ‘tavern’ (episodes where merlin is not there and focuses on arthur instead), morgana finds out abt her magic. Freya + gwen romance plotline happened. Percival + Gwaine introduction, merthur kiss but they never acknowledge it (yep they’re in denial)

Finale: kilgharrah lost hope of merlin so he turns to nimueh (in a hidden scene nimueh told arthur the truth abt his birth), nimueh + uther battle (but nimueh lost NOO), balinor DIES, merlin stops kilgharrah, glimpse of morgause (at the ep end). Morgana made a decision to kill uther

Season 3

General: aithusa is born (morgana + kilgharrah + merlin really likes her), morgana villain arc (she finds out that merlin is gatekeeping magic from her + merlin trying to kill mordred lmao), either morgwen romance or gwencelot (i can’t choose), gwen’s father died, this season = gwen’s arc

Finale: magic reveal, uther’s death, morgouse + morgana attacked the castle, morgana and morgouse fighting + breaking of to their own path (morgana realizes morgause is kind of twisted evil)

Season 4

General: arthur banning merlin from camelot (merlin runaway arc), arthur + gwen + the knights running the kingdom, morgana redemption arc, morgouse + aggravaine becomes main villain, political shit in camelot (like other kingdom who also despises sorcery/power manipulation, an in-depth look of other kingdoms), GAIUS DIES, hunnith + aithusa + kilgharrah scenes, mordred + merlin + morgana bonding, ygraine scenes, arthur trying to forget merlin but CANT, oh and aggravaine is also a villain here but he actually has personality and pure evil, arthur getting excalibur, arthur is really struggling to find himself here (to be like his father or follows his heart). Btw merlin is there and it shows every time magic related enemies attacks camelot/everytime arthur is about to die really but he’s literally in the shadows now and arthur pretends not to notice

Finale: morgause + aggravaine attacking the kingdom, arthur accepts + forgiving merlin + morgana back and assign them as court sorceress + court physician, hunnith scenes, arthur tolerating magic, adopting mordred (apology for killing his father lol), probably adopting aithusa

Season 5

General: arthur lifts the ban against magic, marrying merlin, cendred is a villain here (however he is introduced in s4), merlin GETTING A STAFF (also introduced in previous seasons but he’s worthy of it here, arthur made it btw and it’s a power up for melrin)

Finale: morgause + cendred finale attack, a few deaths (they won thoe cuz this is the good ending)

End:

Camelot brings a new era (symbolizing change)

Arthur: King

Merlin: consort/court dragonlord with titles like “king arthur’s shadow”

Gwen: Court Advisor/head of the house

Morgana: Court Sorceress

Aithusa: Court Dragon

Why i think merthur should be canon:

1) they’re gay

2) real reason: so i think its good for the plot too since magic is a euphemism for gay, relates to the theme of arthur bringing change to camelot but other than marrying a servant, he marries a MALE servant who has magic ☺️🫶😘🙏

Series ends with everyone at the roundtable, gathering for a meeting

Okay that’s it let me know what you want to change 🥰

merlin and arthur meeting gwaine at the bottom of a prisioners pit is the most gwaine thing ever.

[exyzedd]

lives were changed. trauma was HAD.

[mandoriana]

Uther: Morgana, you need to stop challenging me publicly, we've talked about this!

Morgana: Why do you only argue with me? Arthur does his crazy things and I don't see you arguing with him.

Arthur chokes on his drink.

Uther: 🤨

Uther: What's going on, is there something I don't know yet?

Morgana: Yes, there's some news.

Arthur *mumbling to Morgana, trying to make her shut up*: Shut up, Morgana, please.

Morgana: 😌

Uther: 🤨

Morgana: Arthur switched teams, he crossed over, now he's straight.

Arthur facepalms. Uther chokes.

Uther: What do you mean straight, Arthur! This is that idiot servant of yours' doing!

Arthur *frustrated*: Merlin has nothing to do with this!

Uther: Since when are you straight, my son *desperate*

Arthur: I'm not straight!!

Uther: See, Morgana! He's not straight, why did you say that...

Arthur: I'm bi.

Uther: Enough! Everyone get out of my sight! Enough of this talk!

Arthur and Morgana run away from the table.

Uther: 😤

Uther turns to the servant behind him.

Uther: What does straight mean, anyway?

Servant: Well 😥
