It was at that moment when Morgana said "Sometimes you got to do what you think is right and damn the consequences" that I really wished she became the next ruler instead of our dear dollophead. Morgana always deserved better than what happened to her😭💕

Guys is it gay to tenderly hold your buddies head when hes injured and dying while staring lovingly but also completely devastatingly at him? Asking for a friend?

something about Arthur with the colors of a sunrise......🥺

[caffeind-coffin]

merlin trips over Arthur's foot trying to stand him up and out of bed to get him ready and arthur immediately stops pretending to be tired (because he was already up before sunrise and wanted to see what Merlin does in the morning before he wakes him) and rushes to grab merlin by the back of his coat and yanks him into his arms in a tight enough grip to keep them both steady and then it's just intense prolonged eye contact because both of them are too dumb and the first word that either of them will say is definitely some type of made-up synonym of the phrase "you idiot"

Merlin, To Gaius: Nothing could make me that angry

Arthur, barging through the door: MERLIN! Get off of your lazy backside and come here

Merlin, to Gauis: On second thought

@jely-bely so cool!!

[munamania]

‘is your little bottom sore’ i just know the knights were Sick and tired of these two

[wordsinhaled]

remember in the SECOND EPISODE of merlin when gaius was all, "merlin, i’m sorry but your word counts for nothing because you’re a servant and no one will care what you have to say"

and then merlin came to arthur and arthur was all SWEAR TO ME THAT WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE and THEN I BELIEVE YOU and then he went to his father and assembled the whole court so that merlin's concerns would be heard, because he shared them

remember when even after not being able to substantiate the claim and firing merlin he still believed that what merlin said was the truth. remember when even after being sacked and sent away merlin came back to warn arthur

remember when arthur was all “my father will never apologize to me for being wrong” and then turned right around and APOLOGIZED TO MERLIN (his manservant!) and ADMITTED HE WAS WRONG. remember when uther was all, you care about some manservant's opinion??? and arthur was all, well yes, obviously, because merlin's a fucking person. remember when arthur saw merlin as a person when all his life merlin has felt different and other and confused about who he is and what he is

and also, again, all of this was in the SECOND EPISODE

remember when in the second episode arthur already showed he'd be a better ruler for albion than uther ever was, even back then when arthur was still so young at heart and had so much learning and growing still to do

remember when this all foreshadowed how he would take (and even ask for) merlin's perspective and advice later, during crucial moments for the kingdom

okay. and also since i'm here

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU, MERLIN in the first episode (the first episode!!!)

and

the way merlin is all "you have the wrong person" this and "arthur's an idiot" that but as soon as he hears confirmation that arthur is his destiny he's THROWING himself in harm's way (literally) for arthur, he's cheering for arthur in tournaments, he's worrying about him

arthur is the one who started a second confrontation at the marketplace - not merlin. because he was curious about him. because he wanted him in his life and didn't even understand why yet

because he can feel it; they can both feel it

THEY'RE TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN!!!! soulmates!!!!!!

okay, and listen. listen

thinking about arthur's journey from anger to acceptance to gratitude once he learns about merlin's magic, and how on some level you'd think that would change their dynamic forever because arthur would feel he could never make it up to merlin for all the ways he'd saved and supported arthur and the kingdom. and maybe arthur might feel that way for a while. but the fact of the matter is that arthur has always treated merlin as more than his manservant. from day one. FROM DAY ONE

merlin would have served arthur for the rest of his life!!! he would have been his court sorcerer!!! okay! he was ready for that! he was ready to see arthur white-haired and wise in his old age and he would have been at his side then still helping him dress even though he doesn't need to anymore, arthur's got other servants for that, and merlin's got other duties now, and arthur would say, shouldn't you be in your tower, dollophead? even while shrugging into the jacket merlin holds out for him, and merlin would respond i should, my lord even while fastening the clasps of arthur's cloak and it would be everything and nothing like old times

god, do you ever just think about THEM and have a whole Situation because... THEY

“Alright, fine, stop pestering me, you absolute dollophead, I’ll show you what a ‘selfie’ is.”

I imagine Merlin’s been making a valiant effort to deflect and dodge informing Arthur of this particular piece of modern culture lest his phone storage collapse under the weight of 806 selfies and blurred photos of thumbprints. Maybe a few screenshots of the calculator app. He wasn’t gonna risk it.

I also imagine this takes place somewhere, nebulously, within my Sun Room AU (which needs a proper name, I’m workshopping it)

Merlin: I'm serious, Arthur. If you put yourself through stupid shit again, we are getting a divorce!

Arthur: We're not even married, you dollophead!

Merlin: Not with that attitude, we're not.
