I NEED a merlin fic where Merlin gets exposed as a warlock while Uther is still king and has to flee (maybe with Arthur’s help) but he doesn’t want to go far (so he can protect Arthur) so he just lives in the woods outside of the castle and becomes a robin hood type character.
If this happened soon enough i think the knights that Merlin gets to serve Camelot would just be apart of his forest gang instead. they could fight bandits but also steal from obnoxious nobles that treat people badly. they could also break innocent magic users and druids out of the dungeons.
Arthur would become a kind of Maid Marian character where his dad tells him to track Merlin down but whenever he goes Merlin just stops him with his magic and flirts with him before letting him go when they are far enough away. (Arthur gets trapped often because he misses and wants to see Merlin but he will never admit it)
Morgana, Gwen and Gauis would also probably sneak information to Merlin often or just let him into the castle whenever something comes up. Merlin always visits Arthur when he sneaks in the castle so it goes something like this:
Merlin: *siting with his feet on Arthur’s desk, reading highly confidential court documents while eating Arthur’s dinner*
Arthur: *comes into his chambers to relax after a council meeting and sees Merlin* 😧 You can’t be in here! What are you doing? Stop reading those!
Merlin: I thought you’d be happy to see me ☹️
Arthur: Maybe I would be if the entire castle wasn’t looking for you and you weren’t eating my dinner, you clotpole
Merlin: You did miss me! 😊 Also thats my word.
Arthur: I still have to arrest you…
Merlin: Can I finish the bread first?
and then Merlin proceed to get away by dramatically jumping out the window and disappearing with magic and Arthur pretends to be mad but is smiling to himself
You know tumblr did it right when you search for bbc robin hood and 98% of the results is guy of gisborne.
However, I want to notice that now that I’m rewatching the show my face was totally astounded when I heard Sheriff saying ”A clue: no” for the first time in 10 years. I had totally forgotten it yet I had some memories unlocked! i definitely used it as a phrase back then! (And perhaps should start again)
Plus Keith Allen is marvelous! And I love the character. These two are my reasons to watch the show (even though the vibes, angles and everything is so close to Merlin that I’d love to just change it to Camelot.)
Do you know anything about Nottingham? I was told once that it was made up for Robin Hood, which I was confused about, since I live there, but was that person actually telling the truth?
I was gonna make up a joke about it being originally called Snottingham and looked up its history and what the fuck, history. It was originally called Snottingham, named for a man called Snot.
Robin Hood (1973) 100% real no fake
In all seriousness y'all are right maid marian should've been a lion and i will now die on this hill. So here. a little edit/redesign/whatever this is.
I was trying to put together something cool with this Aragorn and Geralt you know some kind of crossover universal tavern and found this last gif and it fits too perfectly someone help me.
🎶 Robin Hood and Little John walking through the forest / Laughin' back and forth at what the other has to say / Reminiscin', this-n-thattin', havin' such a good time / Oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day 🎶
So we've all heard of the "I Want Song" genre in musicals.
But what about the "Let's talk about the bitch behind their back like they're not in the room" song, or "singing s*** behing a bitche's back". There's a surprising amount of them.
"Belle" from Beauty and the Beast
"Scrooge" from Muppet Christmas Carol
"Maria" from The Sound of Music
"Look at Me I'm Sandra Dee" from Grease
"You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" from How The Grinch Stole Christmas
"Jackass In a Can" from Galavant
"Phony King of England" from Robin Hood
"Stepsister's Lament" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella
"Non-Stop" from Hamilton
And, of course, the man, the myth, the legend...
"We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Encanto
You can learn a lot about a character and story from what they sing versus what other people sing about them.
