Mordred: Is it defenestration if you're throwing someone out of a portal?
Merlin: That depends on if you define a portal as a window, a door, or something in between.
Arthur: What the fuck?

AU where Arthur comes back after 1,500 years and Merlin thinks Excalibur sword is very outdated at this point. It is 21st Century and unsurprisingly sword is not the best choice of weapons, magic or not.
So, Merlin creates him lots of new weapons, and soon discovers that Arthur masters everything fast and is ridiculously good at adapting everything to fight. Because if Merlin is the greatest Warlock to ever walk on earth, then Arthur is the greatest Warrior ever to exist.
So, at one point Merlin is just having SO MUCH FUN discovering Arthur’s very OP warrior skill because this man can make everything he holds a legendary weapon.
Modern Magic People being rescused: THE King Arthur is here to save us from the evil beast! look at his shining Exca..li..bur…?
Arthur, holding a ~magical and forged by Dragon’s flame~ airfryer: DO NOT DISRESPECT EXCALIBUR #2461

merlin is so funny, he's like "arthur can't find out I have magic", then he goes and says shit like "every leaf and every bug is full of life here. can't you feel the world's vibrating"

the hitch in van helsing's words when he says "i beseech you" im going to cry for real this time. it's not even simply that he knows how important it is that he gets arthur to trust him, that he's conscious of their duty to all living souls and lucy herself to do this to her and how difficult this will be physically and emotionally. it's that arthur now distrusts him, cries at him in anger - arthur, the man who looks like his lost son and whom he loves because of it. the man whose love and respect he may now never get back after suggesting mutilating lucy's corpse. he isn't just desperate for all the men in that room to trust him so they can give lucy peace and keep the living safe. that's the sacrifice of his father's heart splitting in two right there. wtf alan burgon.

I do love the mental image episode 8 conjures of the vampire hunters treating arthur like an animal they're trying to push back into a pen (the pen in this scenario is death). Like boxing him into the cemetery/tomb, warding him away from the gate, the flares to deter running past them... augh, good shit.

So we know Merlin is immortal, and we know he has the ability to both age and de-age himself, so my question is, as an immortal, when does he stop aging? Does he reach a certain point and his magic just stops him there? Or does he keep aging and then chooses to reset every century or so? And best question, does he ever forget to do that?
Please, give me physically-30-year-old Merlin who has a very nice job at the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum and has had his very nice job since 1903 and absolutely nobody mentions the fact he’s supposed to be 134.
