whenever I try to think Uther as a cruel Father, my mind would go to that scene where he carries him, crying. Fuck! The root of the whole problem is that he had a heart! Imagine him as a cruel man, vindictive but he wasn't heartless, if that had been, purge wouldn't have happened. He'd have moved and taken another wife, come to think of it, he didn't take another wife, nobody would have begrudge him, he was the king afterall, and one prince isn't enough to secure the bloodline and the throne. So yeah, Uther did love Arthur and Morgana, Morgana's betrayal was so deep he went mad man! Truly astounding. That a man who committed genocide was a human and had a heart and he loved his children. Truly, too much complexity

AAAAHHHH I WAS MEAN TO POST THIS LATER BUT I ACCIDENTALLY POSTED IT NOW

TW: Flashing lights and colors

[regulusrules]

I was minding my own goddamn business only to suddenly remember this scene exists

I don't know how to explain it, but it's addressing something so visceral in me.

Like. Did anyone ever expand on how Arthur literally didn't even blink before getting up to save Merlin from the onslaught he would have faced for his outrage? He just got up immediately and took Merlin away, held and handled his anger, and even gave him the respite (visiting Gaius) that he needed.

Wtf. Like boy no you're not supposed to be this fucking in sync with your manservant's reactions. But it's as if he predicted it even, because he saw in Merlin the exact same reaction he wanted to do, but had the tact not to because he grew up with boundaries. So he goes on to save his boy instead.

Sick of how much these two loved each other

as sad and disappointing as this is, look me in the eyes and tell me that this isnt the absolute funniest shit youve ever seen. like, they changed their bio to ONE vaguely implicative sentence and posted some promo statement about where you can find it on streaming services, and this little shitty cockroach fandom (affectionate) absolutely BLOWS THE FUCK UP. like, within the span of 2-3 days, we completely took over tumblr so that this 15-year-old fandom was trending, their twitter account gained roughly 6k followers, and everyone is theorizing about a season six a reboot a spin-off a red white and royal blue crossover every thing under the SUN and it literally gets so bad that the poor intern (thats probably gotten two hours of sleep this week and is running solely on celsius and coffee) and the two-person marketing team that managed this whole thing had to scramble to clarify that WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY DOING ANYTHING WE'RE JUST ADVERTISING THE SHOW AGAIN

like. thats the funniest shit EVER.

I love Merlin fanfics that are like:

"To pass through this cave you must say your full name and titles!"

So the knights and Arthur all go through while merlin is internally panicking about having to say allllll those titles. And the whole revealing magic thing as well, yeah.

i imagine it goign something like

"I am Merlin."

"Your title please?"

"Servant of Camelot?"

"And?"

"Merlin of Ealdor..?

"AND?"

"Son of Hunnith?"

"Are you even trying?"

"...Yes?"

"That's not even both your parents!"

"I don't know my dad."

"Yes you do."

"Nope."

"Yes."

"Nuh uh."

"I can tell when your'e lying!"

"FINE! Son of Balinor!"

"Now we're getting somewhere! And what would that make you?"

"The Last Dragon Lord."

"Now the rest of them!"

heavy sigh

"Emrys, Most Powerful Warlock, Protecter Of Arthur Pendragon, Guardian of the Once and Future King, King of the druids, magic incarnate- ect ect

Could not rest until I made this

"lancelot's only irresponsible when with merlin" my boy did NOT become a cage fighter all on his own for this kind of slander. smh

You're a loyal friend, Merlin

*merlin walking out of the council chambers while the knights are having a meeting*

mordred aka #1 merthur shipper telepathically: arthur is looking at your ass

[inamagicalhallucination]

merlin and arthur should have planned on getting married for a really dumb and random reason and then realized that they were in love with each other on their wedding day

lemme explain

arthur is sick and tired of people throwing themselves at him while he’s trying to do his kingly duties

and also he’s sick and tired of his advisers talking about how he should marry

and he wishes he could get rid of all of this

and then he’s like “oh my fucking god im a genius”

and he goes to merlin and is like “will you marry me to get all these suitors off my back”

and merlins like ????

but then he’s like “wait itll be so much easier to do all the illegal shit i do if i don’t have to say ‘actually i have a permit to do whatever the fuck i want curtesy of king arthur’ and have them doubt me and try and get me jailed anyway and can just be like “um the king MY HUSBAND said i could”

and he’s like “yeah sure lets get married”

so they announce it to everyone and literally no one’s surprised surprised

most of them are like omg finally 

leon thinks that he’ll finally get a moment of peace now that these two arent pining

he’s wrong

no but everyones like omg called it

because merthurs so obvious

to everyone but merthur ofc

and merlin adn arthur plan their wedding and to make it “authentic” looking they both try their best 

and they go through the whole thing; they stay married

and then like 3 months in theyre like “wait our marriage as besties is turning really romantic” and confess

like it takes them a wedding, and spending months as a married couple to like realize

anyway i think its funny

[merlinjoyer]

They say that Merthur is "golden retriever and black cat" coded but we have to understand that it's Arthur who is a black cat. He needs attention all the time, he needs his food to be prepared for him, he hunts for fun just like cats do. He has good stealth and fighting skills

While Merlin is being this always happy golden retriever dog, ready to interrupt anything with his biggest smile, loud and clumsy but also very dangerous and protective. He can be the sweetest boy but he can also bite off your hand yk

[springs-hurts]

I think Lancelot would be the only knight to immediately protect Merlin when his magic was revealed if he was around in s5. Gwaine and Merlin friendship seems strained he seems to hate magic and all the other knights also hunt magic users with no problem

Yepp, I wholeheartedly agree, Lancelot would either go all out, or he'd try to make them see reason...depends on which way it'd go(or which way it'd have gone, only if writers were brave enough, but damn! I can just imagine Arthur, his wife loves this man, his best friend told him his biggest secret, uh uhh, Lancelot bro, I'd run!)

But others, in Disir episode, Percival was making fun of all the hangings, and people write him as sympathetic, same goes for elyan...

So two people who'd support Merlin are Lancelot (if he didn't die) and Mordred, both would hesitate to draw their weapon, of that I have no doubt. But they'd support Merlin.

merlin: arthur is such an idiot! i can’t believe im going to marry him someday.

lancelot: you don’t have to (?!)

merlin: no, i’m gonna.

[closetsof-backlogged-dreams]

ok yea, yea, the official merlin twitter account posting for the first time in ten years and changing their bio is a big deal, yes, BUT

it's been ten years???? who is doing this???? who's job is it, STILL, to manage the official merlin account???? were they just lying dormant for TEN YEARS and awoke to drop these two little pop-it fireworks just to go back to their coma???? did eoin macken himself scrounge up some passwords and break into the account???? we need ANSWERS
