where arthurian movies go wrong is they think it should all be about lancelot-guinevere-arthur love triangle shenanigans and the fall of camelot etc etc when actually what the people want is a romcom featuring agravaine in the lead role
#i mean technically you could still have your love triangle shenanigans#but just from the perspective of the bitterest man in camelot besides sir kay#also consider opening the film with a montage set to when will i be loved by linda rondstadt

semi-dark king merlin au, someone from ealdor tells king cenred about merlin and he is captured and held as a slave in essetir. since merlin despises captivity and servitude, he’d rather be dead and free than alive and in chains so he acts out and pisses people (especially the king) off so they’ll think him too much trouble and kill him. at first they stick to beatings until merlin manages to get his chains around a few necks and now has a body count so they kill him…..only he wakes back up a few hours later and king cenred is Intrigued and keeps him close. merlin keeps acting out but no matter how many times they kill him, he won’t stay dead. merlin has this moment after waking up perfectly fine after his twenty seventh death where he is hopeless and believes there to be no escape, not even thru death. a few other sorcerers in chains come and help him clean up and give him a lil peptalk, realizing him to be emrys, and then they revolt and take over the kingdom and crown merlin as king and now uther is like “wtf” bc his neighboring kingdom who was kinda sorta on his wavelength about sorcery, though uther did not approve of keeping them alive, is now a kingdom ruled by magic. he goes to war with them but with magic running free and fucking emrys on the throne, they don’t make a lot of headway. anyways merthur meet on the battlefield, enemies to lovers, you get it

Merlin | s1e6 - 'A Remedy to Cure All Ills'
I feel bad for Edwin. Imagine being a little boy but still willingly running into fire to try and save your parents.
And I love Gaius, but Edwin's parents were his friends. He stood and watched them burn, while that brave little boy ran in after them. Gaius might not have been able to help them, but he could have helped Edwin.
Edwin grew up alone and he deserved his revenge.

How did I do this when I hung out with him and gave him a friendship bracelet?!
#the bastard of camelot#Is this because I had Mordred say Gally was a stupid nickname? I was just setting up Galahad and Mordred#I still wanted Gawain as his friend#These games confuse me

scooby doo the sword and the scoob is a piece of art for many reasons but most of all arthur’s ridiculous english accent. why does he sound like that
#he also misgenders velma which is some crazy work#also kay and bedivere are in this !!!! (very briefly)#i guess that shouldn’t be that surprising but 99% of arthurian movies that aren’t adaptations are more just set in camelot#and random knights are made up or just not named#so it’s cool to see they actually did some research for this beyond just like arthur merlin and excalibur#park watches arthurian movies

teehee au where merlin is beloved by like all of camelot and just has everyone wrapped around his finger (not that different from canon honestly) and one day arthur is on his way out on a mission from his father that merlin insisted he be on bc uther found out about his magic and merlin just wanted arthur far away from it so he didn’t have to witness it. uther knows that merlin cares deeply for arthur and was genuine in the compromise so he allowed it. after arthur is gone, uther orders the pyre to be built and merlin is burned before sundown.
since arthur’s mission was top secret (again insisted by merlin) no one knew where he was or how to send a message to him to let him know what was happening. the citadel is ROCKED bro like a lot of them are in shock and weighed down by grief (especially the guards and knights that were forced to follow their king’s orders). this was like the first time that almost the whole citadel knew who the sorcerer was and they all adored him. organizing happens rather quickly especially with the knights and guards turning a blind eye to the conspiring of high treason that’s literally happening right in front of them.
arthur meanwhile runs into either morgause or nimueh somehow idk and they tell him about the deal his father made and shows him the contract he signed and points out the line that states the deal calls for a life to be taken in exchange for a life made which makes it clear that his father knew somebody was to die for it. he pulls a quick 180° and dashes back to camelot, arriving in the middle of the night to see fires burning high as the rioting citizens scream and shout calling for justice and listing names that seem vaguely familiar but he cant place.
arthur, already hellbent on patricide, hears the fate that befell merlin and his rage is multiplied tenfold. he marches through the streets with tunnel vision until he finds his father who seems relieved to have his son back until he draws his sword against uther. arthur doesn’t argue or insist he draw his sword. arthur just lists his two people, his mother and his merlin, much like the rioting people outside are.
uther stops him: you look down on me for building a kingdom on blood, but that is what you’ll be doing if you kill me
arthur barely blinks: then i guess i really am your son
uther’s head is paraded around the city until morning
#is merlin alive out there?#i like to say yes since hes immortal and arthur needs someone to wrangle him in#plus hes just too stuborn to die#and merthur obviously#the people are calling out the names of their friends and family that they had to watch die btw#so like gwen is calling out for her father#i hc that cook/audrey was a sorceress and just swore to uther she’d stop using magic like gaius did#so i imagine her calling out the names of all her friends that uther killed etc etc#the way this ended made it seem like i was setting up arthur to be uther 2.0#but arthur had more to say it just sounded colder leaving it like that#his next line was something along the lines of#‘but ill be better than you’ or ‘the sins of the father are not mine to inherit’#idk u get my point tho#lmao wait dude merlin wakes up like miles away somehow and has to claw his way back to camelot#he shows up in the dead of night and manages to get to arthurs chambers without being detected and finds him in the throes of a nightmare#he wakes him up and arthur thinks his nightmare has switched to a dream and hes in that like half awake half asleep phase#and says things about how he missed him and just real emotional shit he wouldnt normally let slip before pulling merlin in to bed to cuddle#merlin takes the comfort and falls asleep and in the morning arthur has to deal with the fact that it was real and merlin is alive#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#fanfic#fanfiction#fic#au#hc#headcanon#head canon#fic idea#prompt

Hermitcraft x Arthurian legend fic? Maybe?? My knowledge of the Arthur stories is limited so I'll have to either use my imagination or do a lottt of research, all I know about Arthur is from watching BBC Merlin and that Disney movie
- Sailor
[rabid and frothing at the mouth] i like arthurian legend haha anyways um yeah those movies and shows are great haha yeah
#sailor anon post#hey anon you should listen to “high noon over camelot” for one of THE BEST arthuriana adaptations known to mankind#(it’s mot super faithful but it’s genuinely so good and fun)#it’s a folk-rock album (mini-musical) that retells arthur and his son modred’s story except it’s set on a deteriorating space station#orbiting the sun avalon! it’s got merlin as a prophetic robot and the pendragons in a polycule and it’s just so so so much fun#highly recommend#and that’s “high noon over camelot” by the mechanisms

Merlin but Merlin loses it when Arthur dies and instinctively starts a time loop and every time Arthur dies it automatically resets...for angst purposes it could stay tragic..no matter what he does to change the past kilgharra was right. no one can change their destiny nor can they escape it. or by starting this time loop at all he's doing is preventing the rise of the once and future king so by staving off Arthur's death he's actually preventing anyone from ever really living again. a never ending story with one character aware of the narrative but powerless to change it. a puppet with a brain but no autonomy to put it to use. A tragedy of his own making instead the one prophesized
#so that it doesn't work on the first try maybe morgana remembers and interferes or#maybe future Merlin is a sort of apparition that can only act if his old body lets him. he talks to past him like a ghost or demon even#so what he's saying directly contradicts kilgharra or gaius so present merlin probably distrusts him like crazy#merlin becomes another old annoying person in his own ear#who he doesn't even know if he can trust#OR he ends up sending arthur back by accident and arthur is in the past trying to fix shit#and this CHANGES something because now there's warnings of a great ending of all things coming for Camelot and by extension albion#and arthur knowing about Merlin's powers after keeping his knowledge to himself (cos he died RIGHT after learning about the magic)#finally understands the burden merlin had without having to try and understand based on Merlin's summary of an explanation alone#he understands morgana and mordred even nimueh like he GETS it gets it#anyway time goes on canon events are rewritten and the 'great evil' rips a giant hole in space and time and it turns out#future merlin was the cause. because he was smashing alternate realities to pieces looking for arthur is desperation#not knowing where the hell he even sent him breaking any known laws of time and space and reality consequences be damned#arthur cannot kill merlin. he cannot do it. not even for Camelot#so this can be angsty too like merlin loses himself completely in the search for arthur (paralleling the og timeline where Merlin ends up#singularly focused on Arthur's safety instead of his true mission)#and it literally swallows him and their entire known world up#or they get through to him. arthur AND past merlin. seeing that past him was able to diverge from the set path. live more for himself#than just arthur or for the sake of camelot be a PERSON outside of that. and have knowledge that he DID change arthur's mind.#not just as a useless deathbed confession but as something that actively changed and SAVED albion redeemed him of the mistakes he made and#proved that arthur is the man the KING he told every antagonist he was#future merlin sacrifices himself to destroy the black hole he made and it's like that future never even was.#just a bad nightmare you can't really remember.#just thinking about Merlin god bless#bbc merlin#fic ideas
