Quick! While Merlin is randomly trending: I went to the Renaissance Faire this weekend and made a Merthur coin necklace!

Dragon for Arthur and triskelion for Merlin!

Two sides of the same coin and all. I was proud. I had to in depth explain this to my friend that I went with.

Arthur: since when can you juggle?

Merlin: I've been juggling three jobs since I came to Camelot, what are you talking about?

Merlin: This is bad

Arthur: You can go home, Merlin. You don’t have to stay

Merlin: But then how will I be able to say I told you so when this goes bad?

Arthur: *sigh*

Maybe the reason why I'm so feral for them is because of "you'll be coming back" and "I came to respect him for what he stands for, what he does" and "I trust Arthur with my life" and "he likes you" and "if he doesn't accept me for who I really am, then he's not the friend I hoped he was" and "you belong at Arthur's side, I've seen how much he needs you, how much you need him, you're like two sides of the same coin" all in the same episode back in season fucking one

I think one of the main reasons I struggled to really love gwen and Arthurs relationship at first was because of how we saw their relationship with others. Specifically, how clumsy and giddy gwen was while she had a crush on merlin. She was practically tripping over her own feet anytime she saw him, always stumbling on her words and she always looked at him like he was the sun, and though overtime we see parts of this in her and arthurs relationship we dont see it as sudden as we do with her and merlin at the start.

Like they began the series saying “hey! This is gwen. She crystal clearly has a crush on merlin and is so bad at hiding it and is struggling to rein these kind of emotions in!” To then move onto a much more lowkey love for arthur.

Which, I do love as arguably this is because she felt she had no chance with arthur and almost didnt let herself fully feel these emotions fully, but we still didnt see the same clumsy love (?) that she showed in s1 for merlin at any point really, not for arthur or and only a bit with lancelot, who she had much more of a chance with.

Also this isnt me saying she didnt like them, she absolutely loved them, and I get she grows as a character especially after her fathers death etc and becomes more emotionally mature and locks away some of her feelings, I just find it interesting we never really got to see that side of gwen again. Like they really said “hey! This is what she looks like when she really really likes a guy!!!” And then proceeds to never show that side of her again with any of her possible love interests.

Plus we see arthur literally say to gwens face I think about running away to a farm and taking only merlin and then we watch them dreamily gaze into each others eyes for 5 seasons.

Conclusion: they made merlin too lovable and now everyones emotions for each other aside from him seem a lot more dulled down

#conclusion is that everyones too in love with merlin #bbc merlin #arthur pendragon #merlin #merthur #merlin emrys #merlin bbc #mergwen #mergwenthur #gwen #gwenevere #princess morgana #gwen and morgana #sir gwaine #argwen

Something something if Merlin is the bravest man Arthur (bravery himself) ever met, then Arthur is Merlin's most magical person.

Merthur Idea (so feel free to ignore if you don’t wanna read all of this)

Can you imagine if like, in one of the MANY magical shenanigans Merlin gets into and thinks he has to go off and die for Arthur, Lancelot tells Arthur what Merlin plans to do?

Like say it’s some canon-divergent AU and Merlin is going to go off and fight some big bad or try and trade his life for Arthur. He says his goodbyes to everyone in the castle: Gaius, Gwen, Morgana, Gwaine, Arthur. He hopes Gaius gets the letter he wrote to his mother

And when Merlin says bye to Lancelot, Lance knows something is wrong. Knows Merlin’s keeping something from him and is worried immediately. It isn’t until Lancelot speaks to Arthur that he puts it together.

Arthur tells Lancelot about Merlin seeming weird to him too. Seeming too sincere, too nice before leaving to Ealdor for his ailing mother. Lancelot knows Hunith isn’t sick and realizes: Merlin’s gone on a stupid, idiotic journey to lay down his life.

Lancelot doesn’t tell Arthur of Merlin’s magic but does tell him that Merlin doesn’t intend on returning and is in fact planning to die so ofc our favorite Pendragon gathers all his knights and goes after Merlin.

As they’re traveling, Arthur is so upset by the last conversation he had with Merlin bc that moron actually planned to die and didn’t bother to tell him? Didn’t bother to let Arthur say goodbye and talk him out of this fool’s quest?

While on the journey, Arthur learns that this isn’t the first time Merlin’s done something stupid like this and wonders what else Lancelot knows that Merlin is keeping from him.

An arc that should’ve been added in Merlin was just how downright terrified Merlin was of him.

Especially with the whole magic thing. He was scared of Arthur. Scared of him as a warrior. Scared that everytime he wielded a sword Merlin thought it was meant for him. Scared that every glare just a little too harsh, every comeback just a little too snippy and suddenly he’d be staring at Arthur from the guillotine.

Arthur was his executioner. Arthur was his grim reaper, waiting for an opening so he could swoop in. But most of all, Merlin was scared of him as a friend. As someone he trusted. Because if he let magic slip around him, even just one flicker that’s the last time he would see Arthur smile at him.

And Arthur notices. He doesn’t know why Merlin flinches a bit too hard when Arthur mock draws his sword in a show of anger, he can’t place his finger on how if he added even a little heat behind those words his friend would stiffen.

Until one day Merlin has to accompany him to face a magic kight who he’s clearly nervous about. And it’s only when Merlin flinches do the pieces slide together for him. That it clicks why Merlin’s face looked so familiar whenever Arthur accidentally overstepped a boundary he never knew existed.

I want to see the look on his face as he stared at his best friend, and realised that he was afraid of him.

And obviously the Angsty arc following Arthur trying to redeem himself and be better towards Merlin without changing their dynamic too much and Merlin is getting more and more tense because with how soft Arthur’s acting it’s like he’s winning Merlin’s trust, and maybe Merlin wants to tell him if the man keeps this up.

modern arthur loves stealing merlin's clothes <3

(hc: merlin owns an obscene amount of wizard/magic merchandise because leon finds it hilarious and gifts merlin everything he can find)

This came to me in a fever dream

Uther and Kilgharrah are in the “language” one because they would 100% say that as a warning/before setting you on fire

Gwaine: this is the crush-o-metre

Merlin: what does it do? Crush people?

Gwaine: no no, don't worry. You put it between two people who then have to look at each other and it will estimate your crush level on the person

Arthur: so... Like emotions?

Gwaine: yes, princess, emotions. Come on, I'll show you with Gwen and Arthur. The crush-o-metre estimates Arthur's crush level

Gwen: *flushing* um...

Crush-o-metre: *beeps* crush level: appropriate

Arthur: oh come on, what does that even mean? try again with Merlin! (Exchanges place with Merlin)

Crush-o-metre: *beep* (Merlin's) crush level: appropriate

Merlin: I think Lance should try

Lance: oh please don't -

Crush-o-metre: *beep* (Lance's) crush level: exceeds maximum. This man's in love

Lance and Gwen: *flushed

Arthur: what was that about the appropriate

Gwaine: everyone has a slight crush on Gwen. It would be inappropriate not to. Also: puts the crush-o-metre between Merlin and Arthur

Arthur: hold up, wait!

Crush-o-metre: *beep* (Arthur's) crush level: embarrassing

Arthur: *blush*

Merlin: huh? What the hell?

Gwaine: *turns the thing around, while laughing*

Crush-o-metre: *beep* (Merlin's) crush level: self destructive

Merlin: ...

Arthur: ...

Merlin: let's ignore that, shall we?

Arthur: agreed

Lancelot: Wow, you're so brave! You didn't even hesitate to throw yourself in danger.

Merlin: That's because I have no regard for my own personal safety. You can ask Arthur.

Arthur: I have never been more stressed in my entire life.
