“yes, i’m afraid to fall in love, okay?

you make me feel like i’m on top of the world,

and that’s a very long way to fall.”

@ quitethefallacy (if i start loving you now, i’ll never stop)

Okay, guys, this is the REAL DEAL. This is BTS and not part of a scene. Who else considers these two stinking cute? Brolin at its best.

little do the people in my life know that no matter what is going on around me i am constantly thinking about that one reddit post about merlin

“it’s all inevitable and all his fault”

forever haunted bc how could you say something so true and yet so heart wrenching and expect me to not think about that for the rest of my life

[harisal0s3r-amr0cks]

I am genuinely scared to go on Tumblr on the 24 of December.

Why?

Marks 10 years from when the merlin season finale was aired.

I’m still not over that okay!

Happy pride month to these two specifically I can’t believe that Merthur is real

May I present you… Sylvanian Merthur

I cannot believe Merlin spent 10 years at Arthur's side with no plan on how not to be discovered other than "gotta make him question his sexuality so he doesn't notice The Magic"

And I mostly cannot believe that it worked

We deserved more of just Merlin

The little head tilt, the sweet voice and the tiny smile, the moment he asked Arthur:

“Don’t you?”

To Merlin, magic had always been there for everyone to see, to feel.

He is magic, after all.

For all those years, Merlin had believed what he felt was obvious, and that everyone else felt the same way. It was strange to Merlin that Arthur couldn’t understand that the forest, the animals, even the smallest, living in it, were sacred. Because life is sacred. He couldn’t grasp the reason why the knights couldn’t feel that the old Druids’ camp was haunted, and therefore didn’t believe him. He had literally heard death, and cried because of it.

“As if everything is much more than itself.”

The phrase could refer to him too. Merlin is much more than… Him.

That’s what brought his doom. He had never had the chance to truly know himself. He was either a servant, or the sorcerer of a prophecy, or a Dragonlord.

Never just him.

And in this moment we see he had missed being one with nature, breathing in the animals’ lives. He was himself again.

He was vibrating, much like anything else there living with him.

They never went deep into Merlin’s powers, they were just there for Arthur. Merlin had lost sight of what he wanted to do with them, he even forgot he was so powerful he could have overthrown Arthur himself, if he really wished to.

Merlin was the only man alive able to see Avalon.

During the knights and the king’s quest to save Gwen, Merlin met the Queen of a Queendom no one had ever even seen.

He could have killed Morgana (and did try) multiple times, although she was an High Priestess, and simply decided not to, but he had more than just the power to do so.

The Catha, the Druids bowed to him, met him in the woods, called to him.

Merlin created a telepathic connection with Arthur the first days he was in Camelot.

He survived death multiple times.

His immortality forbid him to die.

Merlin hated hunting because he could feel the animals being scared, followed; he had recognised Gwen when Morgana transformed her into a deer; he could hear the magic around him, inside objects and inside people, like a whisper, as if it was nothing; he could call lightning from the sky.

He could stop the time, or at least slow it down.

Every magical being knew him by name only. But he was not a leader, he was just different.

“Is she like me?” “No one is like you, Merlin.”

After everything he had witnessed, even Gaius knew Merlin was special and did nothing to help him understand why he was.

Merlin was the reason Aithusa was born, why Kilgharrah was free, and we were robbed of him getting to really know his powers, both as a Dragonlord and as the most powerful sorcerer to ever walk the earth.

He literally deleted himself just to be at Arthur’ side, and it hurt him. We saw it constantly. He was sad not only because everyone and everything was against him, or because he couldn’t use magic for simple tricks, but because he couldn’t really know what he could do, both as a magical being and as just Merlin.

To study his powers meant treason and death, and Merlin forbid himself to go beyond what he already knew.

His incapacity to understand, his lack of will to know, and his indecision about who he was, literally helped the fall of the great destiny he was a part of.

Merlin’s decisions, whatever he wanted them to happen or not, helped Arthur die.

Merlin’s real enemy was himself.

Merthur accidental baby aquisition trope meets time shenanigans au

they find a seemingly abandoned (but healthy) baby. this is appalling and they start arguing over what to do. this baby then does magic right where Arthur can see him. His eyes glow gold. Merlin's heart stops as he recognizes that mop of hair on the baby's head.

Arthur is freaking out because 1. a baby having magic challenges everything he was taught about magic and 2. Uther will kill this baby.

Merlin is freaking out because somehow his 2yo self is here and in Arthur's chambers right under Uther's nose.

everything is better with you.

everything has been better since you.

king merlin after meeting lady guinevere and sir lancelot’s baby and falling in love: arthur. i want a baby.

king arthur, not looking up from his paperwork: …what?

merlin: give me a baby.

arthur, sighing: merlin, you studied to be a physician. i don’t think i have to be the one to tell you how impractical that is.

merlin, rolling his eyes: this is why i’m the brighter side of the coin

arthur, finally looking up: wha-

queen merlin using magic to transform her body: i. want. a. baby.

arthur:

arthur:

arthur: *stands up from his desk so fast his chair topples over, multiple parchments flutter to the ground, his tunic is already off*

Hi Tumblr,I’m back and it’s the 24. I have seen so much angst on tik tok and lots more on Tumblr but I honestly just want happy thoughts.I cried like 8 times yesterday with everybody making angst BUT ITS BEEN TEN YEARS SINCE MERLIN ENDED!! I’m so happy and also so sad but it’s great to know ten years after the show ended we still have daily new content in the fandom and that just makes me so happy! Rip Arthur but his love for merlin with never die and neither will Merlin’s!

[abisalli]

some silly lil guys <3

[ineffablejaymee]

its hillarious how protective arthur and the knights are of merlin

whicheverone you ask, they would say that merlin is a precious angel, anyone who would dare lay a finger on him would taste their swords, merlin is the best of them all the only one worthy of love

meanwhile merlin is leaning against a nearby wall, sighing dramaticaly with hands litetally covered in blood

and as far as the knights are concerned this aint blood, what are you talking about. this is merlin. the red on his hands is the paint he uses to customise clothes for orphans because hes such a good person, they dont deserve him hes so precious look at him
