If you have already talked about this, I apologize, but what do you think about this scene ?
I don't remember the context, but it's quite heartbreaking that Merlin makes it into a joke, knowing fully well there's the possibility of Arthur dying.
Oh yay! A Merthur question! I've referred to it in the past but I haven't spoken it about it specifically. From a previous post:
but this moment:
I love this moment so much because Arthur is doing his best to be stoic, to show as little concern as possible because as he said in season 2:
but for one second when he clenches his jaw and sort of inhales, he’s about to break, his emotion is about to overwhelm him and he’s trying to hold it together but Merlin keeps asking to stay by his side, to just be with him and it’s making it hard for him to concentrate on being emotionless so he just ends up bickering with Merlin because he’s worried and upset and scared and can’t Merlin just do what he’s told and get better??
Um, the context is actually pretty loaded because this is the episode Merlin finds Balinor, and obviously Arthur doesn't know that Balinor is Merlin's father just that he's the [apparent] last dragonlord that will help them but Balinor dies so Merlin's going through the emotional rollercoaster of having met his dad for the first time and then losing him pretty immediately afterwards
with Arthur being there for the whole thing but without knowing what's actually happening. He's focused on the fate of Camelot and so he thinks his only chance of saving his kingdom is gone
so when we get to the scene, Arthur thinks he's going on kind of a fool's errand riding out to meet Kilgharrah
and he's actually trying to prepare Merlin for the event of his death
like you see him think about how Merlin would react to him dying
and he's asking him not to be sad, don't grieve for me, don't cry for me because he doesn't like the thought of Merlin in pain especially in pain over him and it's this very patient, protective, he's-a-gentle-soul kind of conclusion and reasoning
and it's not that he wants him to be hardened, he wants him to understand that these things happen and he just wants him to be OK and he communicates that by saying that he tells young knights to move on
and when Merlin makes that crack, it's sweet because it really just speaks to the intimacy of the moment
that he tries to deflect by cracking a joke like 'haha, you don't even mean that much to me, bro!'
"Anyway, let's go fight a dragon together because I'm never leaving your side!"
which actually begets another vulnerable moment
that Arthur kind of backs away from because WHOA that's some direct intimacy there, bro
[after quietly reveling in awe of how brave he finds Merlin just seconds before]
so, another joke because HAHA WE'RE JUST TWO BROS WHO ARE INTENSELY DEVOTED TO EACH OTHER
PLAYFUL-THANKS-BRO PUNCH
These fucking dorks.

You're pretty special.
Sounds familiar?
He is pretty special..
"With Colin I started off..I really didn’t get his sense of humor. And then when he said a joke, I- I was left nonplussed. But as time has gone on..I’ve, um, I’ve suddenly learned about all these endearing qualities that he has. And everybody’s always talking about, ‘Oh, we love Collin! Colin’s great!’, And I’m like ‘Ah, yeah yeah, whatever’..um, but it turns out he is..he is pretty special."

Should I write this Merlin fic
yo I’m back after MONTHS lmao. School has been busy, but I haven’t gotten off my Merlin hours—so I had a fic idea that would basically include this in no particular order:
Jealous Arthur Pendragon
Hurt (emotionally) Merlin
Mean Arthur Pendragon (at one point but he gets better)
Flirt OOC
Groveling Arthur
Arthur forgets Merlin somewhere (like in that one episode with Dolma)
it would be like Merlin and Arthur and Arthur kind of leads Merlin on and then Merlin is hurt bc of something Arthur says or does and he gets with this other guy and then Arthur is jealous and hurt and goes and grovelssssssss and then they get together.
what do we think
Lmkkkk

Came across this gif while scrolling, and now I really want to know what the hell made Colin react that way, I might have to look up the interview to go find out lmfao
Cause it’s fun to be like, “oh Bradley’s looking at his lips” but the interviewer could’ve been saying something as well, and Colin’s reaction is so damn cute that I NEED to know what caused it lol
