Arthur: *taking a bath*
Merlin: *walks in and climbs into the tub*
Arthur, unfazed: You know, you're getting weirder.

“You look like a startled stoat.” - Arthur Pendragon to Merlin, 3x05: The Crystal Cave
Tumblr media
He says it as an insult, and Merlin reacts like it’s an insult. I have to say, it’s a pretty shit insult considering what a stoat is.
This is was a stoat looks like to those who don’t know:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yes Arthur, you roasted him so good! He’s clearly so ugly and stupid looking for you to compare him to this disgusting creature! Just look at how hideous it is!
Tumblr media
ADDITION FROM LOOKING AT REBLOGS/COMMENTS: I have been blessed with the perfect pictures to compare Merlin and the stoat. Behold!

Arthur: Seriously, Merlin? The tavern again?!
Merlin, covered in blood and exhausted from running for both his and Arthur’s lives through the woods: yeah… sure…

Merlin: *slowly removing his neckerchief*
Arthur: *sending Merlin a scandalous look* What are you doing?
Merlin: *confused* Uh, removing my neckerchief?
Arthur: Why?
Merlin: Because I can?
Arthur: In public? In front of all these people!?
Merlin: ...yes?
Arthur: *grabs Merlin's arm* Not on my watch idiot. Let's go.
Arthur drags a confused Merlin towards the castle, muttering to himself like, "must protect smol idiot" and "indecent manservant behaviour, unbelievable."

Merlin healed Arthur’s childhood trauma at his own expense. And I have no doubts that he thinks it’s totally worth it.
And if Arthur hadn’t died, he’d have spent the rest of his life healing all of Merlin’s magic related trauma.
Arthur repealing the magic ban. Arthur complimenting Merlin’s magic. “Show me more, Merlin.” “That’s beautiful Merlin.” Arthur being so damn protective. “Don’t risk your life.” “You are worth so much to me! More than your magic.”

Arthur: Merlin, I specifically told you to stay put!
Merlin: *nuzzling Arthur's face, wrapping his arms around the King's shoulders*
Merlin: But I wanted to come along, you said I could if I did all my chores. I did ALL of my chores.
Gwaine, popping up out of nowhere: He's not wrong, you did say that. Right Leon?
Leon, don't know how he got there: He's right sire, I heard you mentioning that.
Arthur: *fuming whilst holding Merlin*
Arthur: You two! Go and, and do something—
Gwaine salutes and pulls Leon towards the tavern
Arthur: *looks down at Merlin* —you're going straight to bed!
Merlin: Your bed?
Arthur: *sighing fondly* Yes, my bed

Please tell me I’m not the only one who gets obsessed over Fanfic authors.
Like I’ll read a fic that’s just amazing, and I need more so I go to the author’s profile. I always start with the same Fandom/Ship/Trope of the first fic (it depends on how many works they have). Eventually, when I’ve read all of those, I’ll move on to other fandoms that I’m in and they write for. Sometimes I’ll even go into their bookmarks, because they clearly have fantastic taste. I even keep the profile open in it’s own tab just so I can check for new content every few days.
Just, you know, fangirling over fanfic authors.

No, Josh, you don’t understand. Merthur is indeed only subtext. It’s just that the subtext is written is such a large font that it might as well be the normal text now & you don’t even have to read between the lines for evidence anymore.

Arthur, bitten by the Questing Beast: If I die, how much will you miss me?
Merlin, rolling up his sleeves to fight Nimueh: It's cute you think death can get you out of this relationship.

Arthur’s Love Confession
The word choice for Arthur’s confession is really… interesting. As many people have pointed out, if you remove the pronouns from the conversation, everything Arthur says can be true for Merlin as much as Gwen.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here’s the thing: I’m a writer. I’ve said this before, and I’ll keep saying it when it comes to posts like this.
If I was writing a love confession from one of my characters, I wouldn’t have what they say be so vague that it would be unclear who they were referring to when taken out of context.
If you showed this conversation to someone who had no idea who these characters were other than a knight and a servant, it would be completely believable that the knight is talking about the servant he’s with.
Hell, Merlin’s reaction to Arthur being unable to say he’s in love and how certain he is that nothing could happen seems a bit strong considering the conversation is about Gwen, not him. He’s her friend and would understandably try to convince Arthur that they could be together, but the dialogue does it in such a round about, vague way before they get to the point. There’s no reason for them to be vague. They both know full well who they’re talking about.
I suppose I have to say this is an opinion of the writing because I can’t claim that the writers did anything with underlying intentions. It’s just seems strange to me how perfectly the description aligns. Even the lines not here could easily have the pronouns swapped and still make sense.
“How can I admit that I think about her (him/you) all the time? Or that I care about her (him/you) more than anyone? How can I admit that I don’t know what I’ll do if any harm comes to her (him/you)?”
It still works. We can’t prove that Arthur thinks about Merlin all the time, but there’s a damn huge amount of evidence that he cares for him deeply and can’t handle him being hurt. Anyone wanting to argue with me on this, go watch The Poisoned Chalice again, which is the FOURTH EPISODE by the way.
Other than that iconic episode, there’s plenty of other things. He doesn’t let Merlin drink the “poison” during the test at the labyrinth. He denies any accusations of him having magic whenever they come up, which is because he genuinely doesn’t believe he has any, but it also has to do with the fact that he would be executed. He always protects him in dangerous situations and tells him to run when things get too dicey. We all know how he acted when Merlin was believed to be dead.
Like I said, it’s weird how well the lines match up. And Arthur looks at him like this before the conversation:
Tumblr media
And like this after this conversation:
Tumblr media
Maybe I’ve just never had a “true bestie” because I have never looked at someone or had someone look at me like that. Arthur looks so flirtatious in that second gif man.
But anyway! That’s just some thoughts I was having about the love confession!

Merlin never calls Arthur sweetheart, darling or dear unless he wants to make a point. Arthur is clotpole, cabbagehead and prat. So the first time Merlin says, “Yes, dear,” in his sarcastic, thinly veiled threatening tone, everyone around them swoons at how adorable they are and Arthur knows he’s going to be sleeping on the floor.
