#Merlin art prompt

[i-swear-to-merlin]

I thought of an art for u! Merlin lovingly brushing Arthur's hair out of his face while arthur blushes/smiles! It would be so cute I might make it my phone background

"Art of Merlin brushing Arthur's hair out of his eyes while arthur smiles and blushes would be super cute 🥰🥰"

@sunnylittlebisexual (hot guess you are the anon as well 😏, thanks for the prompt! Its not exactly what it was supposed to be but oh well! ;D)

As always, best to click and zoom cuz my camera is an ass (shamelessly making up excuses for my shitty art lol)

@maryluis (tagging you because i just want to tell you your flustered arthur are the best thing ever, you know, when he is drowing in hearts? Anyone looking for a blushing flustered in love arthur should definetly see that)

Arthur is bad at gift giving. Like, no, he isn't, not normally. He's just bad at giving gifts to MERLIN.

Because everyone else appreciates the thought or the worth of the gift. But usually, Merlin is the one send out to buy them or even come up with the idea or reminding Arthur of the birthdays.

So, it's just Merlin that Arthur can't find gifts for.

Every time he gives him something expensive, Merlin just sells it and gives the money away. Buys herbs with it or anything else.

The clothes Arthur gives him, Merlin never wears unless he forces him to wear them in formal settings.

A day off is accepted with suspicion and a full day of Merlin trying to figure out what's wrong with Arthur.

One Christmas, Arthur decides to try something new. He draws Merlin a picture. It's not a good drawing, it's just put on old parchment he can't use for speeches anyway, it's not a painted one from the royal painter as Merlin wouldn't know where to put a huge framed picture.

It's just a sketch really about Merlin and Gwen talking animately in Arthur's chambers because Arthur loved the sight and hasn't actually been able to work that day, when the people he wanted to be with were right there.

Arthur doesn't sign the picture, too scared of Merlin's response. He gifts him a new scarf alongside it because he's insecure.

Merlin cries when he finds it.

Like, he walks around and shows everyone and praises how much effort and skill had gone into it. He keeps it in a drawer and looks at it every day and never shuts up about it.

Arthur feels so encouraged, he starts drawing something for Merlin every day. And the next christmas, he looks Merlin straight in the eyes and gives him the whole folder.

Merlin, who hadn't known it was a gift from Arthur, nearly melts. And then he looks through the paintings and finds one of himself using magic. He doesn't say anything. He's too speechless to talk. He grabs Arthur and hugs him.

Arthur becomes really good at art after that.

Finally finished a prompt for @themerlinlibrary ‘s 10 year anniversary event! This prompt included “Haunt” and “Ghosts” and was for the death song of uther pendragon, so I imagined a scenario where Merlin uses the horn to call Arthur from beyond the gates. 👻 spoOooOky (also I had my sad playlist on lol so, brownie points if u know the songs)

[skltart]

I hope you feel better soon!!! As a prompt how about some angsty merthur or the tight hug we never got to see on screen that both of them would've remembered?🥹

[ID: Sketch of Merlin and Gwen in dark red on pale red background, both wearing modern clothes. Merlin has long hair and a beard, and Gwen is poking his beard with one finger, her other hand on his shoulder, while Merlin retaliates by poking her nose. End ID]

Someone (thank you!!!) mentioned Merlin's lock-down beard in tags from a previous sketch, so here is Gwen and Merlin meeting after lock-down for the first time and Gwen's reaction to his beard.

Hi I heard you take fanart requests? Could I maybe request a sketch of that scene from season 2, after the troll was defeated, where Melin thinks Arthur's going in for a hug but Arthur's not so they both just kind of stand there with their arms raised?

You obviously don't have to if you don't want to, I just think your art is really good and cool!

thank you you're so nice 😭💛

I wrote this as a prompt in the merlin library discord but I loved it so much I wanted to post it here too!

----

After Arthur returns from the lake, he and merlin settle down into an easy, quieter life. They travel occasionally, and try out new things in the modern day like museums, amusement parks, and the like.

After a while, maybe a few years of this, they decide to start a family. Maybe they use magic to make a kid, maybe they adopt a kid. Of course, it starts with one, but little by little their family grows.

They vowed to each other, the moment they even considered having kids, that they'd never be like their fathers. They'd be involved as much as they could be, they'd show unconditional love, they'd support their kids in all of their interests. They'd be the best dads there ever were, because their kids should never deal with the trauma they dealt with.

Their kids grow up in a happy home that doesn't know the pain that Arthur and Merlin knew growing up. They never feel unsafe, or unaccepted, and especially not unloved. They grow up with bright futures, and eventually start families of their own.

By the time they're old and wrinkly together they've had a few kids, no more than 4 (because really, arthur, you could barely manage 5 knights, you will not be able to manage 5 KIDS), and a handful of grandchildren that they tell stories of their adventures to. The grandkids think the stories are just that, but the kids know better. Their dads always said the stories werent true, but they knew them well enough to see the glimpses of truth and genuine feeling in each one.

Maybe some of the family has magic, maybe not. Maybe merlin gets to share his knowledge of magic without the fear of persecution. Maybe they band together in pranks against Arthur.

Maybe some of the kids take up leadership or combat. Maybe one goes into swordsman ship and theater, performing at the Ren fairs their dads pretend to hate but secretly adore. Maybe another one starts a community project, leading people to help out wherever they can.

Their kids and grandkids grow up to be good people, with 2 good dads/granddads. They're happy.

Arthur and Merlin have their happy ending, now.

This is mostly just family fluff because I want these two to be dads SO badly

[namelessayakashi]

send me ask art prompts/requests pls. Requests Closed atm

I can't promise I'll get to them or be able to draw them but I desperately need ideas and to expand my horizons art wise aka I need to practice more things and my tiny little batblob infested brain can only think of two. So, pls send me some prompts* if you're ok w the fact I may not get to them & if I do it may take a bit of time bc I have uni stess and fic writing.

Fandoms I draw:

- primarily DCU (any prompts welcome but like pls pls make my batblob obsessed brain a happy little rat and give me batblob ideas)

- less but still Merlin (I'm heavily hyperfixated on and invested in DCU rn, reliving my childhood love and obsession to the fullest, but may on occasion still take a merlin prompt if the brain deems it ok)

*note, if you want to request a fully rendered drawing pls specify this or else I may just reply with a doodle, sketch, flat coloured drawing, etc, and understand fully rendered pieces take a lot more time and energy so I may not accept a lot of them unless I have a lot of time and energy.
