It’s kinda hilarious to me how down with murder Merlin is. Like I feel like most shows, especially family shows, have the character at least be morally conflicted about killing. If not out right refusing to kill.
Merlin does not give two shits. He murks someone in the first episode, zero conflict. His body count must be at least in the thousands by the end of the show (considering he took out a whole army). But let’s not forget all the up close and personal murders he commits.
I recently rewatched the changeling, and in that episode in quick succession he kills Grunhilda, the Sidhe and then gives Gaius a look like “do I need to do everything myself?” And gives Elena the potion. ZERO fucks given, he is so unfazed. Merlin is always down for murder. It’s so funny.
And I support him lol.
#Merlin killing grunhilde was so funny bc he literally blows her up with his sidhe staff#she EXPLODES in fucking confetti#and he dgaf#and the show never brings it up narratively#Merlin never has to grapple w killing people#it’s so cognitively dissonant for us#bc the show does engage in contemporary politics and ideologies#(I.e. criticizing Arthur for his presumption and denoting villains by their classism)#it’s dismissal of Merlin being so trigger happy is incongruent#(it’s Merlin being an overprotective psycho.#the writers told me that)#Merlin#Merlin meta

Prompt 4: envy
#Merlin beefing w Cedric BEFORE he knew Cedric was possessed by an evil spirit is hysterical#personally I love when someone does my job for me#and would hate dressing a grown man#but I’m not Merlin I guess#merlin is the jealous one by far#arthur does not think Merlin has a life outside of arthur so there’s nothing to be jealous of (and he’s right lmfao)#Merlin meanwhile sees someone help fix Arthur’s coat and he thinks they’re trying to steal Arthur for marriage#Merlin is a booktok bf#merlin#arthur pendragon#merthur

this scene will haunt me till my dying day... ok, let me explain this:
we get absolutely gutwrenching lines from merlin and nothing but complete confusion from arthur....
and then of course this iconic interaction:
The whole scene is equal parts funny and heart-shattering, because Merlin is saying goodbye to the love of his life Arthur, preparing to sacrifice himself, while Arthur just has no clue whatsoever about what is going on and is very confused by Merlin's sincerity.
truly one of the scenes of all time...
#Arthur: literally just came off his deathbed and confused#merlin about to make his day even more confusing with his cryptic and almost romantic speech : ☺️#merlin#arthur pendragon#merthur

so tired of all these fics where merlin is captured and is like "p-please n-n-n-n-no" like this hoe didn't show up to camelot, immeadiately commit aggravated assault, get arrested, get out of prison, continue to try both commit aggravated assault and regicide, and then within the next 30 minutes of the episode commit like 3 counts of murder 😭😭
#damsel in distress Merlin get in front of me#first of all making him saved by ARTHUR is crazy#when Arthur is literally his damsel in distress#second of all he’s a rogue at heart#and will roast tf out of you if you kidnap him#that’s if#third of all#there’s a suitable reason for him it to just magic himself out of the situation#bc Merlin literally is an actual menace#not bc he loves or enjoys killing but bc he dngaf about killing people#we need to gatekeep who can perceive merlin#merlin#(also this does not mean merlin can be saved by any of the knights either ew)

Merlin: I won't say "I told you so." Merlin, 0.2 seconds later: I told you so.

just... look at merlin's reaction to arthur's acceptance. it is a mixture of not only relief and devotion, but also fear of losing his beloved and realization of the end being near.
#colin Morgan making insane choices#bc not only is Merlin feeling all those things#but the way his eyes are fixated on Arthur’s face#and the way his face moves with Arthur’s#he’s literally enraptured#crazy guy#arthur pendragon#merthur#merlin

BBC MERLIN 4.12 ✽ The Sword in the Stone, Part 1
#there are a lot of things I can talk about#(Merlin’s immediately look away when he calls Arthur the greatest king ever#Arthur’s little smitten look#Merlin’s inability to hear Arthur speak badly about himself and interrupting his self critical tirade#Arthur’s almost desperate for reassurance look when merlin interrupts him)#but I always go crazy about merlin telling Arthur that all his enemies don’t hate him#it’s such an innocent question#and Merlin’s answer is so gentle#it’s not that morgana and agravaine hated Arthur’s father and therefore hate him too bc he reminds them of his father#it completely divorced any personal sentiment from the situation#it’s almost ‘of course they don’t hate you how could anyone hate you’#it’s so SWEET#he is right (morgana was so jealous tho agravaine wasn’t really consolidating power for himself)#but it’s just that Merlin is almost indulgent with him#(but also how you could be anything but when Arthur just asked you the most innocent question of all time#while giving you absolutely lethal puppy dog eyes poor darling)#arthur pendragon#Merlin#merthur

Arthur saying that he 'tells all his knights' that 'no man is worth your tears' makes it sound like knights frequently show up to training distraught that their boyfriends dumped them the night before and Arthur is getting tired of this getting in the way of their swordplay practice
#this is the funniest interpretation of that line#sounds like something I would say to my friends#a la ‘men are trash’#na na na diva is a female version of a hustler#arthur pendragon
