#not for himself but for Arthur

[illhaveyouforbreakfast]

Morgana confronts Arthur's army, saying they have no hope of defeating her.

"I am a high priestess of the old religion!" She snarls, casting a spell that sends a wave of destruction at the knights. It's stopped in its tracks against a shimmering wall of energy. Merlin steps forward, eyes glowing gold, hands raised.

"And I am your god."

#Emrys #listen I love Morgana she deserved so much better #but she makes a great villain bc evil woman sexy #also I just love god!merlin #esp reluctant god merlin #he tells the druids that's dumb he protests the title every time #but in the darkest hour he claims it #not for himself but for Arthur #he defeats her army #sends them scattering #turns and kneels in front of Arthur #head bowed #ready to accept whatever judgement comes his way #Arthur is currently bluescreened bc Merlin with gold eyes taking charge and being mega powerful was apparently exactly what he was into #who knew? #(the entire kingdom) #Merlin #bbc Merlin

No one minds their business more than the taxi drivers in Malevolent

#malevolent #malevolent podcast #they hear Arthur talking to himself and decide it’s not their problem

Do you guys ever imagine what the night after Arthur met Merlin was like for Arthur?

Like, I imagine him going through the normal motions of his night, but constantly thinking about this random guy that dared to insult the prince. And yeah, now that guys in the stocks because he should be… right?

But ever since that encounter Arthur can’t stop thinking about it and it’s not because he hated it. He feels different. It felt different being around him. Why? Why does he feel a small ember of excitement at the idea of seeing him again?

He’s frustrated by all of this. What happened shouldn’t be affecting him this much. It doesn’t matter. And yet it feels like he just met someone he didn’t know he was waiting for.

“There’s something about you, Merlin… I can’t quite put my finger on it”

"Do the Evolution" - Pearl Jam

#ranna word dumping #this specific lyric of the song reminded me soooo much of dutch/john and hosea/arthur #obviously john is very different from dutch but i think there is a reason why he was considered to be dutch's favourite son #john seems closer to dutch in a similar way arthur is with hosea but in a different manner i think. there is obviously a tension present #dutch is observant but only when he wants to be (otherwise i think he would have kicked micah out of the gang a long time ago) #john is just observant. he saw first-hand what happened in blackwater and is sus of dutch throughout the rest of the game #he isnt as dumb or slow as he calls himself #i read a meta about it and it explains it 1000x better than i can #as for hosea/arthur the parallels are already obvious enough #also i am quite a fan of pearl jam so teehee i had to make the selfish parallel #might make more like this idk #rdr #rdr2 #red dead redemption #red dead redemption 2 #arthur morgan #rdr2 arthur morgan #dutch van der linde #rdr2 dutch van der linde #john marston #rdr2 john marston #hosea matthews #rdr2 hosea matthews #outlaws for life #pearl jam

"Modern Arthur would be a mechanic",

"No, he'd be a gas station attendant!"

"He'd be a trucker!"

Dawg, he'd be an artist 😭😭🙏 you don't know this man like I do

#red dead redemption 2 #rdr2 #arthur morgan #the artist Arthur is literally canon #we must spread this agenda further #and if he lived in our days #where the world gave him a normal choice to realize himself in life #he would have realized himself in art.

ok but what if i edited all of john's lines and the music out of the entirety of malevolent so it just sounds like what a bystander would hear

#aka arthur talking to himself for four seasons straight #just imagine some dude whispering to himself in the back of a taxi about how he hid a body in his office #the long awkward pauses in conversations where john would be talking but its just *crickets* #all the divorces but its just arthur punching himself in the face for no clear reason like dude the comedy is palpable #its like those music videos without the music and instead they edit in “realistic” noises like their shoes squeaking and stuff #malevolent #malevolent season 4

#“you two are just lesser versions of the man himself’ #HE’S LITERALLY ARTHUR??? #Also I have to wonder if this John and Arthur even knew each other before Kayne plucked them out of their timeline #imagine waking up with a voice in your head and immediately being forced by an eldritch theatre kid into a Christmas comedy special #malevolent #malevolent podcast #benevolent #arthur lester #john doe #john doe malevolent #masked #malevolent spoilers

I wonder what Merlin would’ve done if he’d ever been in a situation where Uther threatened Arthur with a hand on the throat like he’d done to Morgana. Throughout the show Arthur was shown to be stronger physically than Uther but what if there was a situation where Uther was being his abusive self and actually hurt Arthur... I think Merlin would’ve made Uther spontaneously combust

#I know we had ghost Uther do that but I wanna see alive Uther get pulverized #bbc Merlin #uther pendragon #Merlin #merlin x arthur #Merlin emrys #merthur #the only reason merlin didn’t kill uther himself was cause of Arthur #if uther was the threat to Arthur it would’ve been carnage Merlin would not have held back

#the way arthur doesn't resist the hug #he just lets himself fall into it #and holds charles too for a moment #and they both cried #dont mind me sobbing screaming like a dying animal #I'm going to throw up #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2 #mick squeaks #arthur morgan #charles smith #red dead redemption community #red dead redemption 2 spoilers #oh arthur

I was rewatching sword in the stone pt 1 for shits and giggles (cause I remembered simpleton Arthur and thought the ep would be hilarious. spoiler alert: I WAS WRONG 😭)

and my God, my heart hurts at the look on Arthur's face when they're taking him brainwashed and away from Camelot.

No will, no memories, no sense of "himself" and still he yearns for Camelot 😭 at his core he is king. you can take everything away from him but his love for his kingdom and people is etched in his blood and bone

#arthur pendragon #merlin #bbc merlin #meta #merthur #there are these moments throughout the show where arthur is just ... HE ISS king #he would burn himself alive if someone told him it'll be good for his people #hmm that's a fic idea ig
