#gwaine's chaos

[bitsandbobsofwriting]

I really loved the Yule Headcannon! Especially Gwaine’s gift for Leon the idea of him giving a gift stitched with “To Mother, happy Yule (or Birthday/Christmas/whatever), love from the problem child” is hilarious

(Referencing These Headcanons)

Ah thank you!!! I did like that idea, thought it was very in character and cute when Brain Gremlin supplied it to me :D It was probably a blanket or a shitty little misshapen pillow. Leon treasures it.

*Merlin and Gwaine sat in the dungeons together*

Gwaine: Who should we call?

Merlin: I’d call Arthur, but I feel safer here.

[hoarder-of-dragons]

New princess: Well this is nice, you, me, your husband, your sister, your sister's wife, your sister's wife's husband, your sister's brother in law, your sister's brother in law's husband and his boyfriend

Everyone (except Arthur): Grinning with a peace sign

Arthur, rubbing his nose: I-I really don't know how I can explain this

[onceandfuturelesbian]

i just think this accurately represents both arthur and merlin, actually most characters on merlin

[mountainmagpie]

Me anytime I think about The Green Knight

[spitefulcheddarcheese]

gwaine: what time do you finnish work tomorrow?

merlin *very sleep deprived*: …what????

gwaine: you??? finish??? tomorrow????

merlin: god i hope so

…

merlin: if we’re being honest i’ve been too stressed to finnish in a good long while

I can just imagine Merlin losing a bet and being forced to wear Morganas dresses...

Featuring a very happy Morgana having way to much fun with this whole scenario

[cryptid-wizard]

You know what would be a top tier Merlin fic:

-Morgana is not evil

-Morgana knows about Merlin’s magic

-They use this for shenanigans

-Lancelot is alive

-Lancelot and Gwaine best bros of Merlin

-Lancelot and Gwaine join Merlin shenanigans (magic or not optional)

-Arthur is oblivious

[vi-visected]

Leon in a shirt that says “I don’t make the rules I just enforce them”

Arthur in a shirt that says “I do make the rules”

Merlin and Gwaine both in shirts that say “We are the reason we have rules”

[gwaine-lover]

Lancelot: You know, we don't always make great decisions under pressure

Leon: What's that?

Merlin: An alpaca.

Gwaine: We got the last one.

What’s everyone favourite season or weather?

(Headcanon Masterlist) (Full Masterlist)

Aww this is cute!! Most of this is coming out of my arse, some of it is thought through, you guys try to figure out which is which😜

Arthur is quite fond of Autumn! Not too hot, not too cold, so training outside can still happen. It's also one of the best seasons for hunting, so he can get out on horseback more often, and spend hours, if not a couple days at a time, away from Castle Stress™. There are sunny days, but nothing too sweltering that it disturbs the running of the City, and it's the same with rain; there are even the odd Autumn storm, but nothing so ridiculous that it causes damage or lasts more than a few days. His favourite weather is definitely like... warm (not hot), with a slight breeze, and thin cloud cover. No glaring sun, but still warm, breeze will keep him cool but can also help with hunting and stuff.

Merlin is definitely a Spring baby. It's all about growth and animals and plants and beauty!! Plus he loves both bright sunshine, AND storms (a headcanon that comes up in my fics repeatedly lol) which is basically all you get in Spring. If Arthur was slightly smarter, he'd notice that Merlin definitely pulls his disappearing act more often during Spring, because he's off running around in the forest like some kind of feral child. In terms of specific weather, his favourite is definitely a storm. But like a proper storm: loud thunder, bright lightening, rain as if you're stood directly under a waterfall. It’s just... huge, and loud, and bold. Storms are bigger than he is, and out of his control, and that’s kind of comforting for our Warlock. I actually have like... A Whole Fic based around this.

Leon is similar to Arthur, and for all the same reasons. He likes whatever season/weather makes his job as a knight easier, and makes hunting more successful/fun. Does not like storms, like, at all.

I feel like Elyan is probably one of the only ones among them to genuinely enjoy winter more than other seasons. But like... stereotypical winter; snow storms and lit hearths and loads of blankets. He’s not a fan of sleet or hale or rain storms, but he loves when it’s bitterly cold and bright out, or snowing. It just makes existing in his home, or working in the forge, seem so much more special. Plus he has lots of fond memories of sneaking away from his parents and messing about with Gwen, and sometimes even Leon, in the snow.

Percival is similar to Merlin I think, a fan of Spring and sun, though not so much rain and storms. It’s just bright and fresh and like a breath of clean air after the oppressiveness of winter.

Gwen loves her some summer!! The heat makes it difficult and uncomfortable to work sometimes, but it’s also just lovely!! Flowers and bees and butterflies and warmth and sunshine!! Sneaking off to swim in a river, messing around with buckets of water (specifically, sneaking up on Elyan/Merlin/Gwaine/anyone really and dumping said bucket of water over their head). Picnics!! Clear skies to view sunsets and sunrises!! It’s just great and she loves it :D

I want to say that Morgana is edgy and likes Winter, and she may very well claim that, but her favourite season is actually Spring. Usually not too cold, definitely not too hot (and with her pale af skin? Girl gets heat rash really easily and she suffers), but it just feels like a breath of fresh air, like a clean slate. I also like the idea that nature and magic are like... intrinsically intertwined so... she just feels more at ease, even if she doesn’t understand. She likes a bit of a chill but not so cold she’s shivering under a cloak, a nice breeze, and skies clear enough that she has to squint only slightly in the sun.

My man Mordred likes Autumn! Sort of similar reasons to why Merlin and Morgana like Spring, but he’s more a fan of cold weather than hot, so Autumn takes the cake over Spring for him. He’s a fan of the colours, and the weird heatwave that always seems to happen in October, and the growing excitement for Yule, and the harvest, but also just... the idea of the world resetting. He resonates a lot with the idea of peacefully shedding a skin, an idea, a life, and allowing yourself to gently start anew. Spring couldn’t happen without the Autumn.

Lancelot likes Winter me thinks!! For similar-ish reasons to Elyan. When he was travelling he HATED it because it was dangerous to be in the wilderness mid-winter, but now he gets the blessing of a roof over his head and a reliable income and a warm hearth. Winter is like... SO comforting now, it’s blankets and fires and huddling with friends. It’s something he’s never really had before, and it’s always a bit of a novelty that he doesn’t have to be afraid of getting too cold anymore. Merlin thinks this is adorable.

Gwaine is a summer baby through and through. He pushes people in rivers and dumps water on them (do I have a headcanon—that I hope to one day expand on—that Gwaine and Gwen are secretly a chaos duo?? Yes. Absolutely). He’s like a cat, or a lizard, he’ll just find a big rock and fall asleep in the sun; he drinks less in the summer as well, because ale is warming and he’s already warm and in high spirits, which the others appreciate. Man just likes being out in the sun.

Gaius could not care less. He’s got a preference for Spring and Autumn I suppose, because there’s less sickness (like hypothermia/heatstroke) for him to deal with, and just... existing as an old man is far easier when you don’t have to live in some sort of extreme temperature, whichever end of the spectrum it may be.

Hope that’s what you’re after anon!! Lemme know if y’all agree or not!! :D

[justaz]

*merlins magic gets exposed in front of the knights*

merlin, magic user: oh fuck

arthur, finally taking this opportunity to pretend as if he just found out merlin has magic after agonizing for the past month on how to bring it up: you have magic?

lancelot, merlin defender, already knew of merlin’s magic: no! i have magic

gwaine, merlin defender, already knew of merlin’s magic, lover of chaos, ride or die: no, i have magic!

mordred, desperate for his hero’s approval bc no matter what he’s done emrys just stares at him with distrust and the poor boy is tired and so close to tears: no…i have magic.

percival, raised by druids and bonded strongly with mordred over that and does Not agree with the persecution of magic in camelot, had an inkling that merlin had magic but no proof: no. i have magic.

*leon and elyan exchange a look, elyan, amused and leon, exhausted, elyan shrugs*

elyan, knows how much gwen adores merlin and completely understands her stance bc merlin…is merlin, down to clown and put on a show, really playing up the dramatics: no! i have magic.

leon, exhausted, has known of merlin’s magic since he stepped foot in camelot, knows of his feelings for arthur and arthur’s feelings for him, knows arthur knows of merlin’s magic and wouldn’t harm him, thinks everyone is being absolutely ridiculous:

*the knights stare hard at leon and even merlin looks slightly offended at leon not jumping to his defense with the rest of the knights, arthur hasn’t said anything and is staring at leon expectantly*

leon, sighing: …no. i have magic.

[that-nerd-who-writes-fanfiction]

I love how Gwaine’s whole thing with Merlin is: I’ll follow you into any chaos you want but do you really need to bring your boyfriend along?

Then just casually being in love with him the entire time.

“Arthur’s lucky to have us.”

“Not Arthur.”

They’re madly in love and no one can convince me otherwise.
