you know how in 5.13 arthurs like “i tried to take your head off with a mace” and merlins like “and i stopped you, using magic” and arthurs immediate reply to that is “you cheated” … and i guess i was just thinking about the breathy little laugh merlin lets out in response to that. bc like i just noticed how maybe it was a little bit of relief and awe. because like. he just talked to arthur. about magic. about using magic From The Beginning. against him in a fight. and arthurs immediate response, his most natural reaction to that, was to comment on merlins poor sportsmanship. out of anything he couldve said something about. the first thing that came to mind was merlin not playing fair. which. idk. IDK!!!

#like he barely even cared about the magic at that point TBH!!!!#what the hell was the crime of magic compared to not knowing his best friend bc he didnt trust him!!!!#whatd arthur care about magic then other than to keep up appearances!!!!#LIKE I JUST WATCHED THAT SCENE AND MERLINS LITTLE LAUGH MADE ME CRY #its entirely possible im going insane from too many blorbos in my head #bbc merlin #merthur #5.13
