#Kilgharrah hate club
I hate that Merlin got no good mentor figure in the show.
Like Gaius was fine, ish, because Merlin liked him and he did very genuinely try to keep Merlin safe. But he was also traumatised as fuck and literally agreed with a genocidal maniac who decided killing everyone was better than actually grieving his dead wife.
And Kilgharrah was a spiteful basement lizard and an absolute bastard. He did nothing other than be a convenient plot device who gave Merlin more trauma than he knew what to do with.
And it wasn’t like he had many other options either, like
Alator of the Catha, dead.
Balinor, dead
Hunnith, amazing but no idea about magic.
Uther, read it in a fic one time. I’ve had trips that were less trippy.
Gaius, traumatised to the pyre and back. A few times.
So I can’t really blame him, same as Morgana he just latched onto the first person (or nightmare cave beast basement lizard in his case) who told him he wasn’t cursed or a monster.
But the show would’ve been better if he actually had someone to turn to consistently instead of an immortal who wants to die, a cryptic shut in, a druid he sees twice a year or whoever else showed up for less than 15 minutes of screen time.

imagine how much merlin could have achieved if it hadn't been for gaius's fear of magic and kilgharrah's fear of the future

Fires of Idirsholas Sleeping Spell
To me that was an interesting plan for takeover: kill everyone and just take the throne. It's convenient and accomplishes all the things morgause's needs: a reset of the world, and punishment for everyone
dunno how they'll survive with an empty citadel ofc. like they may have had immortal soldiers who could function as defense but who'd do the baking? castle maintenance? trade? morgause probably had the magic to do that but who knows?
now that i think about it, economically wise, killing everyone would make camelot ripe for pickings from neighboring realms. that's not exactly how one would want to start a kingdom. plus if word got out of what happened, traders would be too scared to do business in camelot. camelot will be written off maps and bypassed by travellers and traders out of fear.
unless morgause planned to have the city inhabited by other magic users at some point? the druids probably weren't amenable to being governed by a kingdom defended by unkillable soldiers. but like im sure she can convince people to live there with promises that they would forever be safe?
the possibilities are endless
see this is why new world order type of takeovers are shtty.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,
funny though that kilgharrah wasnt affected by the sleeping spell.
let's say when everyone dies, morgana is overcome by grief and confusion. She faints. When morgana wakes up to find all their friends and family dead, when she sees merlin dead, she'll rage at morgause for deceiving her. Morgause will do the manipulating thing but morgana will hate her forever and just take over and run the kingdom herself at some point.
...merlin's plot armor will probably work for him and then he'll wake up suddenly (and maybe join morgana, mayhaps?)
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
ok damn. the dragon didnt even know merlin was immortal and was made of magic. OR MAYBE HE DID? That spell shouldnt have been able to kill Merlin wth, since merlin is supposedly magic himself. . i hate this plot armor so much DId he feed Merlin false info again? maybe the dragon just wanted morgana to die. Or and most likely he wanted to further indebt merlin to him so that he could go free and terrorize the kingdom himself.

How did Merlin not realise here that the Great Dragon is using them all as pawns in order to get revenge for what the Pendragons did to him, like this fucking lizard manipulated him into bartering his own mother's life for Arthur's, I would literally destroy him and make him into a scaly stew

After years and years of moving around from place to place, Merlin and his mother finally settle down.
But the world isn't quite done with him, is it?
Starting a new high school, Merlin meets Arthur Pendragon. Bratty, snobbish, rich Arthur Pendragon. Immediately, he hates him. It's even worse when Arthur has most of his classes with him, so he has a lot more interaction with him.
But it is at its worst when his own feelings get thrown into the picture.

All that apply for Edix!!
oh boy this is gonna be a LOT under a cut bc tbh I’m just gonna do all of them >.>
Tumblr media
01: Do you have a good relationship with your parents?
“It’s better now with my dad. We hit a rough patch during the Red War after he ran away to Titan and left me practically in charge of everyone, since they recognised me as the Commander’s son and all. It wasn’t a good time for a while between us, but we got better and now we have a better understanding of one another too. My Pa? He’s long since dead, before I was resurrected too, so I don’t have a relationship with him.”
02: Who did you last say “I love you” to?
“..... I’m not sure. I feel awkward saying it sometimes, like it’s reserved for romantic relationships only. Though I say it to dad sometimes, and to Artie too.”
03: Do you regret anything?
“A lot. Not being able to save my Fireteam in the Hellmouth being one, not being able to save Cayde being another. Lots of things.”
04: Are you insecure?
“.... Yes. Though it’s not so bad anymore, not like it used to be at least.”
05: What is your relationship status?
“Complicated. I like Asher, but sometimes I think he just sees right through me. Though I’ve taken to actually going out into the City more at night with some friends. That’s led to a loooot of kissing various Guardians.”
06: How do you want to die?
“I’d prefer not to, to be honest. Though I’d like to avoid death by Hive at least. I’m not sure, I’ve never particularly thought about a final death kind of scenario.”
07: What did you last eat?
“I don’t remember.”
“You had cookies Zavala made you, because you forget to eat.”
“Oh yeah. Dad makes great cookies.”
08: Played any sports?
“Does running around Io for Asher, collecting samples and fighting Vex count?”
09: Do you bite your nails?
“Only when I’m nervous, but even then I’m more likely to just fiddle with loose threads or bounce my leg.”
10: When was your last physical fight?
“Two days ago when I needed to gather samples of Radiolaria and Phaseglass for Asher. I’m still finding bruises from that.”
11: Do you like someone?
“Asher. But he doesn’t see me, not really. At least, not outside of being his assistant, I don’t think.”
12: Have you ever stayed up 48 hours?
“Yes, and I don’t remember any of it. I try not to do it too much, Spiro is forever telling me off and so is Dad.”
13: Do you hate anyone at the moment?
“Since I don’t count, no I suppose not.”
14: Do you miss someone?
“Yes. I worry for Artemis when she’s out on Hive murder-sprees and I... often miss her greatly. Cayde too.”
15: Have any pets?
“Too many! I have three cockatiels, two cats and an Ahamkara!”
16: How exactly are you feeling at the moment?
“Weary and very tired.”
“Well that all-nighter you pulled in your greenhouse didn’t exactly help.”
17: Ever made out in the bathroom?
“Probably? I know that I made out with a Titan on my first night out when I was very much wasted, but whether it was in a bathroom or not I couldn’t tell you.”
18: Are you scared of spiders?
“.......”
“He stands there like he’s rooted and cries if it’s a big one. He’s that scared of them.”
19: Would you go back in time if you were given the chance?
“Yes. I know it’s never a good idea, but... I know I could save Cayde, if I could go back in time. I know I could get to him on time.”
20: Where was the last place you snogged someone?
“In the corner of some club in the City, I think.”
21: What are your plans for this weekend?
“Studying my plants and tending to my garden.”
22: Do you want to have kids? How many?
“God no, never. It’s hard enough just taking care of Kilgharrah and myself, let alone anyone else.”
23: Do you have piercings? How many?
“I’m tempted to get some, at least some in my ear.”
24: What is/are/were your best subject(s)?
“I don’t really know. I’m good at botany and horticulture, and I’m learning more about the Light in-depth but other than that I don’t know.”
25: Do you miss anyone from your past?
“My Pa. I didn’t know him, I was killed as a toddler and at the same time as him, so I don’t have any memories. Dad showed me pictures of him, though, and he looks nice. I wish I did know him better.”
26: What are you craving right now?
“Peace and quiet. A partner. I dunno.”
27: Have you ever broken someone’s heart?
“I don’t know. I’m more likely to break my own half the time with how attached to things or people I get.”
28: Have you ever been cheated on?
“Hah, no.”
29: Have you made a boyfriend/girlfriend cry?
“At time of answering, I don’t have one, so no.”
30: What’s irritating you right now?
“Being so god damn cold. I have a sweater on and the heating on and my own Solar Light and I’m STILL COLD!”
31: Does somebody love you?
“My dad does. I don’t like speaking for anyone else I know, though.”
32: What is your favourite color?
“Largely any of the Io shaders. Blue’s good too, and green.”
33: Do you have trust issues?
“Depends who’s asking me to trust them. I trust my dad, Artemis and Dad with my life. Plus Othion and his husband Izel. Oh, and Vigil, since he guards the Speaker. Ikora, too. But the likes of the Drifter? It’s getting harder to say.”
“Long story short, sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn’t.”
34: Who/what was your last dream about?
“I dreamt of a throne world that belonged to Crota, and it was filled with warped versions of the plants in my garden. Everything was a sickly Hive green and there was a broken throne with vines snaking all around it. I was sat in it, and there were hordes of Hive knelt around me like I was royalty.... I think it’s just a scrambled memory, after getting that shard of Crota’s soul crystal in my eye.”
“Yeah, that’s all it was. Don’t think on it too much, Edix.”
35: Who was the last person you cried in front of?
“My Ghost. It feels weird to be crying around anyone else sometimes.”
36: Do you give out second chances too easily?
“Yes. Sometimes I’m too kind for my own good.”
37: Is it easier to forgive or forget?
“I think it’s easier to forgive. That way you can move past it and carry on, rather than forgetting about it and then it coming back to haunt you at inopportune times.”
38: Is this year the best year of your life?
“I doubt it. Cayde died, Dad and Ikora have been arguing, the Drifter moved into the Tower Annex, the Black Armory opened its shady doors, the Spider is very interested in even more shady things, the Nine have rocked up with their Emissary and even with Mara gone, she’s up to no good as usual and I don’t like it.”
39: How old were you when you had your first kiss?
“In mortal terms, around 24 or 25? As a Guardian, no idea. I don’t count the years so much.”
40: Have you ever walked outside completely naked?
“Oh my god no. I’d rather die than do that.”
51: Favourite food?
“Not sure I have one, to be honest with you.”
52: Do you believe everything happens for a reason?
“Sometimes. Not everything can be attributed to that logic, given the nature of this bastard existence some things are just at random and have no or little reason to them.”
53: What is the last thing you did before you went to bed last night?
“Worked on some more jellyfish to give to families in the City. They lost more than we did during the Red War, so I try to give something nice back to them when I can.”
54: Is cheating ever okay?
“No. If you can’t do it on your own merit, then you don’t deserve to reap the rewards through cheating.”
55: Are you mean?
“I can be, but I don’t like to.”
56: How many people have you fist fought?
“Not that many. I’m not all that strong, physically.”
57: Do you believe in true love?
“I’d like to, but sometimes it just doesn’t seem possible.”
58: Favourite weather?
“When it’s raining on an autumn day, because at least I’m not too cold. But also I can just sit by the window, wrapped up in blankets and listen to the rain while I crochet or read.”
59: Do you like the snow?
“Yes! It’s so much fun to roll around in it and throw snowballs at other Guardians!”
60: Do you wanna get married?
“I don’t think so. It’s bold to assume a relationship would last that long.”
61: Is it cute when a boy/girl calls you baby?
“Depends who’s calling me that and the circumstance of the name. If they’re taking the piss, and I don’t know them, then I’m not happy about it.”
62: What makes you happy?
“Little things. Looking after my plants, helping Asher, my crochet projects, being able to spend time with my friends.”
63: Would you change your name?
“No. I like it how it is.”
64: Would it be hard to kiss the last person you kissed?
“Probably, since I don’t know who they were, their name or what they looked like. I was... very drunk.”
65: Your best friend of the opposite sex likes you, what do you do?
“Well that’s literally never gonna happen, so I’m not even engaging in this hypothetical.”
66: Do you have a friend of the opposite sex who you can act your complete self around?
“Yes. Artemis is very dear to me and we have an understanding of one another. Even with our differences, I still feel comfortable around her.”
67: Who was the last person of the opposite sex you talked to?
“Artemis, duh. Well, maybe Ikora.”
68: Who’s the last person you had a deep conversation with?
“Probably Artie again. We talk about the Hive a lot, given our dispositions.”
69: Do you believe in soulmates?
“I’d like to, just not in my own case.”
70: Is there anyone you would die for?
“My dad, Artemis. I’d die for Asher and, in fact, have. Many times. Curse you, Pyramidion.”

I need a fic where Merlin doesn’t know he’s Emrys and doesn’t know about his destiny, he’s just a good person who sees someone constantly almost dying and saves him because he can’t just sit and do nothing.
Kilgharrah doesn’t exist. Plot holes aside, the bitchy basement gecko can go to hell.
Anyway.
This all takes place during The Beginning of The End episode.
Mordred doesn’t call Merlin Emrys, he just cries out for help (and for his dad). Merlin steps in, the rest of the episode is the same but Merlin is determined to help the druid boy he found. Without crusty dinosaur harping on, he gets to choose the right thing for his own morals and critical thinking. Gaius is unsurprisingly resistant, so Merlin is being extremely careful, then Arthur finds him in Morgana’s chambers while he’s healing Mordred.
Let’s go with Morgana already knows about Merlin’s magic and he’s been helping her too against Gaius’ advice.
Arthur feels betrayed and is upset because Merlin can’t seem to give him a straight answer about anything. It’s all still new to him, but he’s learning that Merlin is good even if he doesn’t answer any of Arthur’s questions about magic or why he doesn’t use spells or anything like that. He’s angry but he can’t punish Merlin and free Mordred without being hypocritical, so he mostly sulks.
In all the perceived lies, Arthur snaps and instead of punishing him, he doesn’t let Merlin leave his side until he tells the truth.
So when Arthur takes Mordred back to the Druids, Merlin goes with him. Iseldir greets them as “Emrys and The Once and Future King” They’re both confused, but obviously Arthur is the future king so Arthur asks who Iseldir thought Merlin was.
Iseldir reveals their destiny that Merlin is the god of magic. Merlin is silent and Arthur is so confused and hurt about why Merlin didn’t trust him.
Iseldir answers all of Arthur’s questions about destiny and the prophecy while Merlin doesn’t say a word. He takes it to mean Merlin is ashamed or something similar about the truth coming out, meanwhile Merlin is grappling with the fact that he supposedly isn’t human. After days of Arthur picking on him for “lying” and all the unintentionally cruel jibes, when Iseldir tries to say Merlin was blessed with his power and that it was something he should be grateful for.
Merlin breaks down in a Percy Jackson style “I’m not a god! There’s something wrong with me! I get that whatever I am isn’t supposed to happen, I know I’m a monster, believe me. I never even learned magic and every time I’ve tried to get rid of it, it’s almost killed me! So don’t tell me that this is a blessing, that this curse is something I should be happy about because it’s the reason I’ve spent every single day of my entire life terrified!” Then he stops for a second and the tears roll down his cheeks, “I’m sorry, but I’m not what you think I am. You need to find someone else to believe in.”
(Skip to the end for a happy ending, this is angsty. Warning for dark!Arthur and major character death)
Arthur thinks Merlin is lying and banishes him on the spot. Iseldir warns against it, but Merlin is just so tired so he doesn’t fight it. He’s left broken and believing he’s a monster, so be leaves to protect his friends.
Until a month or so later Arthur is on a hunt when he gets separated and lost, then injured by bandits. Merlin finds him, (he’s been sent off by the druids for failing this destiny he knew nothing about, in search of a solution but they’re not very forthcoming with information) and Merlin heals him. Then they get all the diamond of the day moments while Merlin is nursing Arthur back to health until he succumbs to infection.
Merlin gives his life for Arthur, knowing that he’ll be a good king. This leads Arthur to become really dark, he kills his father and takes over Camelot, welcoming magic but killing anyone with a different opinion. No one is safe, war breaks out and Camelot falls. When Arthur dies, young and during an uprising, he meets Merlin again in Avalon. Merlin doesn’t recognise Arthur with all he’s become, and Arthur is punished to watch all his people suffer with his old mind while watching Merlin continuously pushing him away because “he’s waiting for Arthur, he shouldn’t be alone when he gets here. He would’ve been a good king, he needs someone to take care of him now.” And it breaks Arthur’s heart to hear it every time.
That’s all I got so far, it could be that they’re both driven mad waiting, Arthur by watching his people and Merlin by waiting for a man he’s doomed to never recognise again. I’m not sure, I haven’t gotten that far.
Or for less angst, hurt/comfort where Arthur has to realise that Merlin is just as in the dark as he is, he really doesn’t know any of the questions Arthur had and he’s probably been looking for answers a lot longer. They work together to fix everything and while it’s difficult, Merlin still has issues with lying to protect his friends (intent/outcome issues) Arthur is too trusting still and they have to deal with Morgause and all the other threats but they overcome it together. Albion is united and they live happily ever after.

Things I dislike the most in the show:
Vague and unfulfilled prophecies.
Kilgharrah's smug grin in DoftD that says "The mess of S4 and S5 was actually The Albion. Take care and move on."
Endless milking of magic reveal.
Endless searching for Emrys subplot.
Uther living too long. Too much of Uther. Merlin saving Uther again and again
Painting Morgana's humanity and struggle in completely black tones.
Villanization of those who fought against Camelot. The general lack of the resistance side.
How they reversed Mordred's character.
Always good and right Merlin.
Execution of "Morgana brings Arthur to Avalon" ending.
Making a fool of Arthur. Making him less a king than Uther.
Merlin forever a servant
Execution of Gwencelot.
Armor never adressed.
"New religion" never addressed. Christianity? Roman paganism? The King cult + superstitious 'atheism'?

Do you ever think about the difference between fate and destiny in Merlin?
For anyone who isn’t aware, fate is predetermined and unchangeable. Destiny is a predetermined outcome or series of events that can impact a person but cannot affect their actions to lead towards that outcome, but it’s never guaranteed.
Basically destiny can be changed based on a person’s actions.
Now I just keep thinking about Merlin learning that from Kilgharrah after Arthur has died when the dragon lets slip “it’s such a shame that you couldn’t stop Mordred going down that path.”
I’ve got disir brainrot now.
