#(or leaves it to Gwen & Merlin)

[morganas-simp]

I will never get over the fact that Uther just knew that Arthur was gay.

Whenever he had a relationship with a woman he would instantly question it or think that it was sorcery.

But Merlin who would commit literal crimes constantly and once confessed that he was a sorcerer when Arthur defended him Uther didn’t care.

But yeah Arthur totally wasn’t gay.

I’m thinking about Gwen and Elyan tonight folks….. they were siblings, finally reunited after years, reconciled, and obviously cared for one another very much and there were hardly any on-screen interactions between them save for episodes where either one of them was in danger of some kind. Sigh.

I also know for a fact their exchanges would’ve been hilarious because it seemed that Elyan was the one person that knew how to annoy Gwen at light-speed LOL

sometimes u just have to think about how gwen is thee it girl in camelot 😌 favoured heavily by morgana, courted by arthur and then became queen (not to mention that arthur was willing to forsake his entire kingdom just to be with her), lancelot loved her at first sight and he carried that flame of his affection until he died, gwaine stopped in the middle of the street to flirt with her, leon basically goes and shoots his shot while arthur’s dying, merlin’s willing to disguise himself AND die for her at any turn… nobody does it like thee babygirl ever <3

#shows #bbc merlin #guinevere pendragon #gwen #text #tais toi lys #i NEED to make more everybody loves gwen fics #ONE ISNT ENOUGH #merlin needs to head like a Gwen Love Club (open to the public) and u get the usual suspects (arthur/lancelot/gwaine/leon/morgana) but then #u just get a SLEW of random citizens of camelot who barge in and they all speak very earnestly abt gwen #and one day gwen pops in and sees this odd group and when arthur comes to kiss her hello (they all STARE AT HIM WITH ENVY) and she’s just #like ‘am i missing a meeting? open audience?’ and everyone murmurs ‘no my lady’ and merlin winks at her and says ‘we all gather here every #week to discuss our love for you of course.’ and bc it’s MERLIN and he looks like he’s JOKING gwen just rolls her eyes and takes her leave #arthur then turns to merlin as is like ‘HOW DID YOU DO THAT?’ and merlin shrugs ‘she doesn’t take compliments like that very well it’s easy #for her to think we’re kidding than actually contemplating the idea that i may be telling the truth!’ #*

POV you’re a medieval townsperson in a poor village that’s being frequently raided and the only plan anyone has is for this one mom to go fetch her son from another town, but when she comes back, not only is it with her son- who you remember as this weird awkward kid- and two other women, but with the fucking PRINCE of an enemy kingdom. and after you recover from the shock of that, you realize that the prince and the weird kid are like……… really close. they’re always having private conversations and staring into each other’s eyes and you heard tell that the prince is sleeping on the floor of the kid’s hut? you remember hearing that this kid was the servant to the prince, but clearly you missed something along the way, because this literal actual prince who is here in your town won’t stop smiling fondly and making the world’s most obvious heart eyes at this random lanky teenager from your small village.

#i was rewatching this episode because it makes me feel things and like. they were genuinely insane for this. #the way merlin’s mom and childhood best friend (and morgana & gwen) ALL call him out on how obviously in love he and arthur are?!!?!!??? #because that IS what’s happening there and you can not convince me otherwise #anyways gonna go think about arthur following after merlin in the dark of night just because he can’t bear to see him leave for good #and the way merlin exclaims “arthur :D!” with more fondness and excitement than i have ever heard when they find each other in the woods #merlin #bbc merlin #merthur #also: i don’t actually know how old merlin is.. this is me interpreting him as ~19 and arthur as ~21. if i’m wrong please don’t come at me 😔 #eli.posts

Morgana Pendragon

Fire and Ice by Robert Frost

#I know this will probably flop because no one else is as insane about morgana as I am #but guysss. fire as magic but also as desire #with merlin it manifests as moon/sun icarus/apollo you know the drill. reflecting light and love back on arthur. afraid to get too close #but with morgana its a moth to a flame. she gets burned. she tells gwen to leave and take the candle with her. #in 5x12 she asks the sorcerer to EXTINGUISH FIRE to prove his magic. she sees that as the ultimate show of power #whereas merlin CREATES FIRE to prove his magic to arthur #morgana is always fighting to repress her love whereas merlin is fighting to keep his alive #aaaahhhhhh #morgana pendragon #morgwen #bbc merlin #merlin #bbc merlin edit #merlin edit #morgwen edit

#I Never noticed the soft soft way she says his name right after he leaves #weariness heavy on his face and barely a goodbye.. #im not Not gonna think abt how much that reminds me of a very similar scene in DotD… #with Arthur leaving very much the same way and Gwen leaving his name trailing after him in the air #like a dozen unopened love letters… #goodbye. #mergwen #merlin emrys #guinevere pendragon

[smolbeanmerlin]

honestly can't believe that episode in season five where they go and save Gwen actually happened because we literally have Merlin somehow falling off a cliff and Arthur just abandoning an unconscious Gwen to go and rescue him but then falling down the cliff himself like ??? I have never witnessed such idiotic thinking in my life

#also taking into account that Arthur is literally married to Gwen #but he still prioritises Merlin whenever theres danger #like what are you doing you literally drugged your wife you cant just leave her there #i was pissing myself through the whole episode #merthur #merlin #merlin and arthur

[matixsstuff]

you guys ever think about characters that would be cute or good together and then it turns out that the ship almost doesn't exist or is the most underrated thing ever and has like a 2% of fandom's attention?

yeah

Merlin 1x05 basically

Uther: who’s your dad and is he important to me

Lancelot: I don’t have an important dad :(

Gaius: tough luck kid. better luck next dad

Merlin: don’t worry new best friend, I will invent you an important dad, fuck the system

Gwen: my dad’s a blacksmith :)

Arthur: I don’t care who your dad is. What’s important is if you can react at the speed of light to a surprise bitch slap

Geoffrey: I have on record how many times this man has knocked up a lady and the Dad Math doesn’t add up

Morgana: I’m not here, just like my dad

Merlin AU | Dream

Maybe once Arthur come back. Maybe Morgana decide to begin the war. Again. But in this world. The witch still hates the King who built the kingdom without magic. She wants to destroy this world and build a new one. She wants to kill Arthur and those who love him. Morgana will bring war to this world.

there's something that bothers me so much whenever i read or see magic reveal concepts that involve "i'm more mad you lied to me than i am about the magic how could you keep such a big secret from me" and i finally realized its because it feels so. dismissive of merlin's struggle? him having to watch people with magic be arrested or executed or burned day after day after day, to listen to the people closest to him so casually refer to it as evil, as though that were an unquestionable fact, having to live every single day less and less sure he could ever be accepted after hiding so long and seeing so much.

like in general but esp as a queer person, seeing these takes that make a magic reveal just about "why didn't you tell me don't you trust me" when actually the characters did not really give merlin much reason to trust they would be accepting (and in fact often in their very reactions demonstrate exactly why he was hesitant), and even if they had he lives!!! in a place where it is literally illegal!!!! like it is so frustrating to constantly see these perspectives where arthur or the knights angrily question why merlin couldn't tell them and merlin just being silent in response, when its so beyond clear how difficult a position merlin was in.

merlin is almost never the main character in his own magic reveal scenarios beyond just worrying about the other person liking him again, and while i get why that is, since its the other person's perspective shifting usually, its still frustrating because its meant to be a culmination of his life's struggle and finally a full realization and acceptance of himself, and i wish we could see more of that: more of merlin's own messy emotions towards having to hide for so long, over fearing his own friends, over suppressing who he is, over getting used to being open about it for the first time in his entire life.

#bbc merlin #merlin #arthur pendragon #knights #this post is not aimed at anyone or anything in particular #and i hope i'm not coming off aggressively or anything #but its just a very common trend i've noticed and have been kind of frustrated over #also i mentioned arthur and the knights in the post cause they're usually the ones i see this with #weirdly gwen often just unquestioningly accepts merlins magic despite the fact that her father literally being executed for it combined wit #-morgana's betrayal would probably leave her with some complicated feelings about magic as a whole #gee i wonder why it is that her reaction is just skimmed over as easy 🤔 #anyway that's a Whole Other post the point here is #i want more of everyone realizing how hard it was for merlin #and more of merlin realizing how hard it was on himself #instead of reveal fics that almost always involve merlin comforting arthur/the other person #like there's a place for those but it just rubs me the wrong way given the whole setup #and how analogous magic is to queerness #res rambles

[lesbicosmos]

okay how does merlin s2 ep4 (lancelot and guinevere), an episode where the primary plotline is literally focused on the arthur-gwen-lancelot love triangle, still manage to be one of the most merthur and morgwen episodes ever

#like we got 'she is more than just my maid' and then morgana storming into arthurs chambers yelling at him to bring her back #not even noticing he's packing to leave #we got the reunion scene #we got merlin and arthur bickering for like 15 minutes #and the whole scene by the river where if you take out every line directly mentioning gwen it sounds like theyre talking about each other #and merlin distracting the guards like 'its him you need to worry about' and cut to arthur attacking #honestly one of my favourite episodes #great ep to be a multishipper #everyone is in love with everyone in this show its great #bbc merlin #merlin 2x04 #arthur pendragon #merlin emrys #morgana pendragon #guinevere pendragon #bbc merlin lancelot
