#i am a dumb merthur fan

[bellamyblakru]

HEYYYYYYY i’m so excited to respond to ur ask it made me so happy to see u in my notifs and i’m so excited for u for ur milestone! anyways i kinda want all of them but i decided to cut down to 🥺 :)))) 👀 pls rant i will read it all and ☕️ for morgwen andddd manon from the tog books. <3 <3 :*

HEY AMY!!! i hope you had a lovely day today🥺thank you for the ask💞

🥺- for my mutuals, ill talk about why i follow you and why everyone should be as well

omg im pretty sure i met and started following you like the day of that bellamy scene™️ because i remember thinking how fucking horrendous that episode ended, and, at the same time, how amazing that night on tumblr was aksnakaaj. so that night, tumblr was a fucking disaster and chaotic and funny asf. i remember texting @tkstrrand the entire ep (bc she couldn’t watch it for some reason) like how boring it was/how she wasn’t missing much blahblah and then when the death scene happened at the last fucking second, i sent her about a thousand separate incoherent texts in the span of like two minutes LOL tumblr was in shambles and i made a few posts about how fucking dumb the show was—one post i made i told my few new followers to fuck the 100 and just watch merlin and you texted me about it!! we have literally so much in common (with merlin, atla, the 100, tog!!!) that when you texted me about how you felt about that scene compared to merlin’s ending, my thought was like “this blog is so kind and we feel the same way and i need to follow asap.”

you are literally so sweet and lovely to talk to🥺that night™️ may had been disastrous, but i can look on it with a lighter heart because we met because of it!! every time we talk i always smile so much (and dw, i know i still have to get clone wars for our boy anakin👀👀)

dude, everyone should be following you because your blog is incredible, your tags are superb, and you are literally one of the sweetest people i’ve met on here😭💞 i adore you.

👀 - and ill tell you a parallel from merlin or the 100 that still fucks me up

this post for merthur still FUCKS ME UP by @camelotsheart

THE EYES. THE GIFSET’S BEAUTIFUL COLORING. THE EYES. EYES. I CANT. THIS GIFSET HAUNTS ME. parallels, man, i fucking love them.

☕️ + send me a ship/character/movie/book and ill give you my opinions on it

my opinions on morgwen:

I LOVE IT SO MUCH. I SHIP IT WITH MY WHOLE ASS SOUL. dude, their potential as a ship is incredible😭i fucking love them together. i wrote them as a side pairing in my first multi-chapter merthur fic and i adored writing their interactions and dynamic sm. if morgana was going to be with anyone, my first choice will always be gwen. i also read them as a pairing in fics all the time because the pure power-couple potential is insane.

hot ☕️ here™️: i think if someone was to bring morgana back from the brink of hatred, it should have been gwen (not merlin). so, like, i could definitely see merlin telling her about his magic and whatnot and maybe that would have stopped her from going dark side...but...i didn’t think merlin should have (ekk probably an unpopular opinion).

see, i love merlin with my entire heart..and tbh telling uther fucking pendragon’s ward that he had magic was just too much of a gamble—especially with arthur’s life on the line, which literally became merlin’s sole purpose in life (another matter for a different essay™️). i understand his need to keep it a secret from her even more when the large reptile repeatedly got into merlin’s head that she was bad news from the jump (also another matter for a different essay™️).

SO. that leaves two options for our miserable magical gal: arthur or gwen. now, i honestly believe arthur wouldn’t have hurt her if he was told. and i even think he may have became more sympathetic to the magical community because of it—especially when he saved mordred wayyyy early on that cemented the fact that arthur was not uther. but i can also understand why morgana wouldn’t tell arthur, and it’s pretty much the same reason merlin didn’t tell her about his magic: the risk was too big and she didn’t want to gamble her life with an unknown reaction.

now we get to the main point: gwen would have been the best option for her. whether it is platonic or not, gwen was always there for morgana. gwen is such a kind, loving soul, and she deeply respected and adored morgana—you can tell by the way she smiled around her in the beginning seasons, how she would get her flowers, how she would worry about morgana’s wellbeing. even though gwen was morgana’s servant, she cared for her in more ways than were required and it showed. they were best friends. the entire incident with gwen’s father, which was horrendous, might be the reason gwen would be rightfully upset about the subject of magic; however. she knew her father wasn’t magical, she knew uther was a tyrant, and she knew morgana’s heart. someone is gonna tell me that if morgana had explained to gwen what happened, how her magic was innate, how morgana would never fucking choose to have magic anywhere near her shithead guardian (who probably would have killed her imo if he knew bc you know the whole “fire will purify” bullshit), that gwen would hate her??? I MEAN LITERALLY WATCH THE LAST EPISODES AGAIN. when QUEEN GWEN realizes that the whole time it was merlin saving everyone’s asses, and she connected all the dots, her face showed nothing but pure understanding and acceptance.

gwen was such an underused character. her fucking potential arcs could have been phenomenal (again, LOL, another matter for a different essay™️), and the way canon made morgana use gwen was fucking gross and im not a fan🙃 but fuck canon. i ship them and i love them to pieces ✌🏻thank you for coming to my talk✌🏻

my opinions on manon mf blackbeak:

oh boy, where do i start? i would die for her...is that too extreme for the starting place? i fucking LOVE manon blackbeak dude. oh my god, so, remember when her and aelin fought for the first time in QoS? i remember jumping up from my lounging position with my hand over my smiling mouth because i love both of these badass hardcore women with everything i am. i mean, aelin owns my ass (she is probably my favorite character of all time rn) but manon hits differently. her storyline at the beginning was so bleh, but, man, did it escalate fast to “holy shit” to “i fucking love her” to “oh fuck im sobbing.”

the only thing i will complain about with her character in canon was the fact that my girl was straight???? excuse me?? she has been alive for fucking forever and she is straight? no. i cant accept that. tbh i ship manon and elide🥺 (i also ship dorain and chaol oops). but her character development was everything and i cant think too long on what happens because i will start crying tbh sksjsmakks

okay wow im so sorry for, uh, spilling every thought i had into this. it legit took me like a day to respond 😔

i appreciate you so much. thank you🥺💞

17 and 25 from fanfic writer asks please

17. favorite AU to write: I am a fan of most flavors of modern/mundane AUs. Coffeeshop AUs, sports AUs (I have an idea for a Golf Pro AU that I have too many dumb and/or funny ideas for, and also a sport climbing AU for the olympics), just give me all the modern AUs with my dumb boys!

25. favorite line you’ve ever written: ‘He tried several poses while waiting for Merlin, but too many of them felt either too “Paint me like one of your French girls” or “I’m not a model I swear my camera just turned itself on.”’ from the Merthur cat cafe monstrosity lol. I just love Arthur fretting about how he’s arranging himself on the bed while having too much time to overthink things even though Merlin will appreciate whatever naked Arthur he can get.

1, 21, and 25 for the OTP ask game! I'm gonna say merthur for the ship but if that's not your cup of tea then just your favorite OTP in Merlin then!

okay I'm doing merthur bc they are my OTP

1) Who is the most affectionate?

Okay so at the start of their relationship it's definitely Merlin, but as time goes on i think Arthur becomes more affectionate, especially with like PDA. The longer they're together the more comfortable Arthur gets with his sexuality and being open about their relationship.

21) Who is more likely to start dancing with the other?

Merlin. No explanation needed he will dance with Arthur anytime. At first he does it to annoy and embarrass Arthur but then it just becomes what they do together to have fun. But Arthur wants to do it more - he's always thinking about it and trying to figure out how to ask Merlin to dance in a serious way rather than as a jokey way.

25) Who needs more reassurance?

Arthur. The boy's got trauma he needs his hand held all the time

tag game !!!!!! :3

we were tagged by @dykearthurpendragon !!!

Rules: tag 9 ppl you want to know better and answer the questions

Relationship status: han: single right now to focus on myself... !!!(aka more time to read merlin fan fiction, no one can tell me not to cut the sleeves off all of my shirts, and spending lots of time w/ my friends 😊 )

emma: never been with anyone but am really content with just being myself surrounded by friends at the moment ✨🏳️‍🌈

(but anything can happen ya know? 😏)

Fav colours: han: I haven’t had a “fav color” in years cause they are all good, but we love a plantesque green, a warm yellow or orange, or a deep blue or purple ☀️🌿🌌🔮 and pastels!!

emma: Something about a deep red 🔺🔻 has always caught my eye and is therefore probably my fav but my love for colors definitely stretches past the primaries 🎇🌅🌌🎆

Top three ships: han: zoo wee mama...impossible to only pick three, but if I had to pick obviously merthur is a favorite of mine. Merlin was a love story 💖 I also love pearlrose from Steven universe (just saying, it’s similar to merthur!!), and an OG ship of mine has been link with sheik/zelda !!!(either way it’s gay imo) :3

emma: wow I have so many that I really had a hard time picking but I’d probably have to go with 1) merthur — something I discovered in high school and has continued to be my otp 2) Kirk/Spock — cause I ship their lil awkward space love and 3) Kara Danvers/Lena Luthor — bc honestly Katie McGrath brings that good gay energy to every role she plays

Lipstick or chapsticks: han: I am literally addicted to chapstick lmao !!! I’m one with the video of the person singing “where’s the chapstick??” I’m a Chapstick Gay

emma: neither and my lips are indeed very consistently chapped 😔

Last song: han: lottery by kali uchis!! It’s been stuck in my head a lot.

emma: soppressata by Doctor Offbrand. Just this really great band in which the guitar player just happens to be my sweet friend hannie!!

(EMMA UR SWEET OMG)

Last movie: han: I saw a really dumb movie in theatres a couple weeks ago lmao but before that I think we watched shrek 2 and Pokémon the first movie recently 😎

emma: hmm the last movie I saw was midsommer and it was a lot not gonna lie. I still kinda don’t know how to feel about it 🤷‍♀️

Currently reading: han: it’s been a few weeks since I’ve been doing much non fan qfiction reading, usually I like to get a bunch of non fiction from the library, but I’ve been halfway through my first read through of prisoner of azkaban for a bit!! I know I’m late to the party lol

emma: fanfiction. It’s accessible and I like it so I will forever be an avid fanfic reader. Other than that I like a lot of shorts and poems. I’m also really into fantasy and period pieces

we’re tagging: @sneakyboymerlin @thewalruswasruby @centurieslove @guessimaclotpole and idk anyone else that wants to do this!! We love making fellow merlin friends !! 😊
