Merlin has infact scammed the knights out of their money more than once over the years to the point where he was banned from gambling with them by Arthur due to the amount of complaints he got from the knights
well of course this makes perfect sense, its just a bit naive that you'd think money was the only think merlin was scamming the knights for

What does "has every memory from his owl mechanism" mean?? Does Merlin remember that time when Bard shot a laser on him??? He dropped a bomb on Bard???
⋆ Ooooh yes, he remembers it like it was yesterday. Not a fun memory at all, but he has forgiven Bard up to this point. The memory still comes up though, every once in a while. ⋆

back on the Merlin train- S5 Mordred for a moment like oh lord S5 Mordred I wish i could get in your head and see what’s there in your brains, rn I think I’d rather do that to you than main blorbo (if only cos im scared of his head)
like Mordred jfc
just, does arthur know does he think arthur knows has arthur forgotten
Merlin- not even touching their last S2 encounter when Merlin flat out attempts to murder child Mordred, when child mordred has this mythical figure who is supposed to be his salvation try to kill him for no reason he will ever discover
(and like Mordred is on the outs with druids by s5 right? my personal hc is this is why...)
and also, Emrys, just this rando guy, pretending to be weak,. Arthur and the knights bully him and Merlin goes along with it and Merlin is the most powerful person Mordred has ever met
Idk takes bullying the dragon to a new level, and obvs merlin wouldn’t turn on them but S5 Mordred is hated by who he considers not only to be the most powerful man, but a mythic figure and
jeez louise S5 mordred, what is your life

Unpopular opinion time!! Arthur’s characterization is consistent. There’s this weird widespread opinion that it was constantly reset or retconned, and it never was.

something i think about too often is when Merlin in episode one asked Gaius if he were a monster.
another thing i think about too often is how Merlin was never good at healing magic.
so now i present you: Merlin thinking of himself as someone that can only destroy and hurt, and not heal. he knows he uses his magic for a good cause, to protect Arthur, but it is always about hurting people, about killing. whenever he needs his magic for healing, he fails. whoever learns about his magic, dies and gets hurt. freya. will. lancelot. gaius almost died multiple times.
i think that, at the end of the day, a part of Merlin is scared of people knowing he has magic not because of what those people will do to him, but because of what what will happen to those people.
i think that a part of Merlin is scared that he is a monster. Merlin knows magic can be good. he isn't sure if he is good.

merlin is such a pure kid like he's childish and righteous and sulky and rebellious ALL IN ALL HE'S ADORABLE OKAY... he's often miffed at arthur and thinks arthur is an ass but he also genuinely supports arthur, cheers for arthur during fights, and wants to make arthur's life easier. he's sweet and cheery with gwen. faces her with innocent excitement and support. he's a little bitch to gaius, but he looks at gaius with admiration and affection. he’s willing to risk his life for those he cares about and EVEN THOSE NOT CLOSE TO HIM??? just because his conscience tells him so?? he is SO PURE
and it's just so cute how people who care about merlin will stop at nothing to save his ass ...... make up any excuse, fight any danger,,, even willing to use their dying moments to save merlin... like he’s so loved, just as he deserves to be...
