May I just say... Colin Morgan's background stage business is impeccable. There are so many actors who just stand there watching or aimlessly shuffle around, but I've noticed that when Colin Morgan is in-character, he is in-character.
I haven't watched him in anything other than Merlin, but when he's not the focus of the camera, he's still doing things just as Merlin does. Like, trying not to laugh during the feast when Elena was visiting and displaying poor table manners, actually looking deep in-thought and mouthing the name 'Alice' when Gaius was talking to him about her, glaring at Gwen from the bedpost when she was enchanted and was monologuing about who could have possibly poisoned Arthur, polishing or doing a chore or keeping his head down when Uther's talking to Arthur but still watching them with a keen eye-
and so many more instances! His background stage business is just amazing.

Gaius, to Merlin: Wonderful! Camelot's fate is in the hands of an idiot!
Merlin, motioning to him and Arthur: No no no no no, TWO idiots!

Post-reveal (or not) where Merlin get cursed and de-aged to a baby for 2 weeks.
The knights, Gaius and Arthur are like ‘this is fine! It won’t last!’ Until baby!Merlin starts to make the knives float and plays with them.
They call for Hunith but she is just desensitized to the whole thing. Her baby is playing with knives ? It’s very good ! At least he isn’t blowing up the ro— Oh, well at least he didn’t blow up the WHOLE roof.
In a not post reveal situation, Arthur’s sanity is hanging on by a single tread and when Merlin comes back to normal he will basically say ‘Shut up, I’m going to sleep for 3 days’

Arthur: Why what did he say?
Merlin: I don’t know I didn’t listen

What would have happened of hunith did talk about balinor to merlin growing up?
I don't know if someone has made this a fic, if so please comment or something. It doesn't even have to be merthur.
Would merlin grow to be hateful and want to seek revenge on the pendragons? And how will that go when he finds out he is destined to protect the son of the man who caused his father to leave them? Would it take longer to become friends with arthur? Would he get made Arthur's manservant, and not go?
Arthur is already curious of merlin, the man who sassed him even after he found out who he was, and basically tries to become merlin's friend. Like he doesn't know why he wants to become merlin's friend but he tries everything. Merlin is a stubborn person so he will put a mask of hating arthur but secretly wants to see how far arthur is willing to go to be his friend. All while he is saving Arthur's life... but like on accident. Like he stubbles on the bad guys plans and is like, well I'm already here.
I also would find it funny, even if it was out of character If uther sees his son trying to become merlin's friend and merlin is not having it. He's curious now and watches, "why doesn't gaius' nephew not want my son's friend?" "Gaius is my friend, gaius says his nephew is nice and has already become friends with morgana and her maid. Why not my son? Why does he look at me like that? He kinda looks at me like how morgana looks at me when she's mad at me... they look alike. Did I sleep with gaius' sister? No, I'm 100% sure of it. Why does he look familiar?"
So now uther asked arthur about his mission on becoming merlin's friend, and uses "he is gaius' nephew and his apprentice, he's going to be your physician if something where to happen to giaus. You must be friendly to the person who is handing your health.", as an excuse to know more about merlin.
At somepoint I feel like merlin learns that arthur is not his father and learns to tolerate him. But like if arthur brings up his father in any conversation, he just turns slightly treasonous. And when he has to be in the same room as uther he just ignores him and exclusively speaks to arthur. Uther gets slightly angry at this, and it has landed him a night in the dungeons a couple of times.
(Oh and like lancelot learns why merlin hates uther and also doesn't speak to uther. Idk what broken timeline im thinking of but i love this idea. The most friendly knight hating on one person.)
I don't where else this can go but if someone where to do something with this or something similar that would be cool. Tag me or something my ao3 is in my bio.

Y'all ever think about Gaius? like he snuck in this very magical boy into a place where he KNEW magic was punishable by death and he had to be thinking "this is dangerous for both of us, especially with Merlin living in the castle right under the king's nose. but if we're incredibly careful, we can make it work."
and then fast forward not even a week and said magical boy is now attached at the hip with the CROWN PRINCE and is blatantly using magic. Which tbh really explains why Gaius has this exhausted look 90% of the time:

Someone on the internet proposed a fanfic prompt about BBC Merlin, where one day, the tavern will burn, and so next time Merlin pretend he was at the tavern, Arthur is like: “no but seriously, where were you?” (He’s worried) 
But I can’t find that person anymore and it annoy me very much. 
Btw, because of Gaius, Merlin looks like an alcoholic.

Some incorrect quotes taken from tumblr posts/tv shows. Except for the ‘something’s wrong with him’ one and ‘two words don’t argue’ one, that’s just from me lol

Love how Gauis' chambers are in a tower. Could not think of a worse place to put him. Like oh you're sick? Suffered a horrific injury? Carrying someone unconscious? HOPE YOU'RE READY FOR A CLIMB BITCH

Arthur: Yeah, Gaius hasn't talked to Alice since the Great Purge.
Gaius: All right.
Merlin: Wait, you haven't talked to her in 60 years?
Gaius: It's been… I'm not that old, Merlin.
Merlin: Aren't you, though?
