This is actually my first time watching the Morgwen-kidnapping episode since I first watched the entire show

#I've rewatched the episodes before it and the end of s5 #But the middle of season 5 is just accidently avoided #See my merlin rewatching is whatever is on the tv at the weekend or whatever I can fimd on demand (which is currently just s4&5) #I did proper rewatch s1 and ½ of 2 but now I just pick and choose a bit #merlin #floating-on-avalon rewatches merlin #Morgwen

oh the morgwen is insane in this. their concern for each other..... the love only seen through terror...

Merlin - 1x01 - The Dragon's Call

#merlin shipping moments

Merlin/Arthur: [this is going to be a pretty useless list 'cause i have a feeling i'm gonna end up listing all of their scenes.. :|]

their first encounter. Do you know how to walk on your knees?

second encounter. How long have you been training to be a prat, My Lord?

Khilgharrah's pointed destiny remarks. Without you, Arthur will never succeed. Without you, there will be no Albion.

Merlin notices Lady Helen staring at Arthur. He magically drops the chandelier on her, knowing it could/would kill her. His loyalty already somehow got tethered to Arthur, even against magical beings (this point—how fast in the show Merlin became loyal to Arthur—this, why am i realizing this properly only now?! :/).

Gaius calling them each others' destiny. Your destiny's calling. You'd better find out what he wants.

.

Morgana/Gwen:

Morgana enters the feast. Gwen is talking to Merlin but never takes her eyes off of Morgana. She looks great, doesn't she?

Merlin Shipping Moments (Part 1/?)

@occasionaloranges @groundbreakingdot

i'm not sure if this is the type of list you were looking for but i hope this helps..let me know if you had something else in mind.. :3

i wrote a much much detailed post first btw..but it became so long for just one episode, i'm thinking i wouldn't do that :D..and instead made this average-one-sentence-per-scene one..this is still gonnna take sooo long 'cause as i said, laziness..i estimate 65 days, give or take..bear with me if you can.. :D

i might post the long detailed one with my pointless thoughts too though, sometime later.. :3

I remember reading meta on how gwen is better for arthur than merlin because she and arthur share love for camelot while merlin only cares about Arthur's wellbeing and it got me thinking about morgwen. gwen is the most selfless person in the series. she's forgiving, very rarely gets mad, she says that she wouldn't wish uther dead because what would it change and then cares about him for arthur. she cares strongly about the kingdom. thorough the series arthur merlin and morgana all have desires to leave camelot and the burdens behind. arthur wants a farm, merlin to run away with freya, morgana with druids. has gwen ever expressed that? even as queen?? it's funny that in the end she's the one sitting on the throne lol

and it's true she's better for king arthur than merlin because merlin coddles him too much, loves him too much to let arthur reach his potential. (also isn't that what morgana would want.. for a man to love her so much... lol)

and this brings me to morgwen because morgana IS 'selfish'. she wants to be angry, to punish, to have someone stand by her no matter what and share her anger and assure her she's not alone and will be safe. she will stand by those close to her no matter what but she expects the same in return and I'm not sure gwen would give it to her, because gwen is Good and morgana needs someone to stand by her even if she's the farthest thing from good. gwen loves arthur and lancelot for their nobility, loves arthur for the king he will be - brave, strong, courageous, selfless, upholder of laws, protector, carer of the people. and morgana doesn't feel like those things. she's scared, secretive, manipulative, orchestrated uthers murder in s1 already, and while kind her love for herself becomes stronger than for the people of the kingdom (understandable as she believes they would want her dead).

their relationship would be very volatile because they would disagree with each other's values and methods too much. merlin says he could never be like morgana, but they're very similar (if only merlin wasn't brainwashed by gaius and killi and decided morgana - sorcerer defender - is the pendragon worth fighting for..) . gwen is truly on the opposite side of the spectrum from them both.

morganas turn on gwen suddenly makes so much sense because the one person who's been with her through so much and who you could always count on before was destined to marry your perfect golden boy brother and with morgana not part of the vision it's not difficult to imagine they both would turn away from her now that she wasn't the perfect kind selfless king's ward but a sorceress with an agenda and desires for herself.

no point confronting them about it and risking her plan when she already knows them enough to be sure about this

Morgana/Gwen

OH! kicking off with a good one.

send me merlin ships

many, many thoughts i have about them. they're definitely a ship that i, personally, love, but that also has its....moments. i adore the energy of s1 and i think the overall potential is amazing as the story progresses. HOWEVER. the actual writing of them doesn't exactly do anyone any favours most of the time. there are certainly other pairings that have more moments to go off of, but even with what they do give us with morgwen, what can be created from it is incredible. as much as i don't like comparing ships, they are very much like an opposite of merthur and that dynamic on it's own is very interesting to me. beyond that, i think both morgana and gwen have a lot of kindness in them, it's the main characteristic presented to us at the start of the show. as morgana's turns and twists, gwen's remains largely the same. there's that divide within them that makes many of the ships on the show so compelling. again, they didn't explore this as much in the show itself, but navigating the trust and love they have for each other is an incredible storyline to have. i'm also a sucker for villain/hero pairings.

overall, i think the writing in the show failed them, even as a platonic ship, which i don't wanna go too much into detail with, as it is not the main point (and we'd be here for days), but the foundation of their relationship, as well as the creators in the fanbase do wonders. they are a definite favourite.

kinda gay of morgana to have prophetic dreams about gwen and subsequently become obsessed with her

#when morgause is like 'some dreams are too powerful' like uhhhh yeah #that post thats like 'obsessive rivalry is so romantic' reminded me of s3 morgwen sooo much #and when gwens like 'why do you hate me so much' ...................ummmmmmm #like i love sweet and gentle s1/2 morgwen but enemies to lovers morgwen (s3 and onwards) is also very powerful #morgwen #bbc merlin #talking tag

bbc merlin liveblog - s1 ep2: valiant

i forgot abt how many dramatic slowmo shots of knights riding horses this show has

i say id love a sword but if i actually had to use one id probably be like merlin, just flailing around and tripping over my own feet (when i say probably i mean definitely, im like that without a sword)

any scenes of merlin without his neckerchief feel wrong, like merlin why are you naked put that scarf back on pls

morganas so pretty what the actual fuck

*dramatic sword fighting music begins*

morgwen being adorable in the stands while the men brutally attack each other <3

merlin: *makes a joke* arthur: *chuckles* merlin: :D

once again, the costume department for this show is insane i love every outfit (particularly morganas!! all her dresses are absolutely gorgeous)

the random sped up parts of some montage shots is hilarious to me and i cant explain why

"he's using magic" "are you sure?" - summary of the entire show

morgana holding onto and stroking gwen's cloak is so cute i love them so much

gotta love the creativity of the episodes so far, there's been magic death singing and magic death snake shield

"i wouldn't like to you" "i want you to swear to me that what you're telling me is true" WHY ARE THEY STOOD SO CLOSE TOGETHER THEYRE SO GAY

arthur talking to uther in the council room and merlin just stood a few paces behind him like🧍🏻‍♂️

this whole thing makes no sense, could they not have just...shown uther ewan's body which has a snake bite???

im loving the random cuts to morgana just looking ethereal as usual. director rly said give the lesbians what they want

merlin having not even been arthurs servant for an episode and being fired already- if only it was that easy for arthur to get rid of him 😭😭

god the set's so beautiful, i wanna go to pierrefonds so bad

"just give me a straight answer!" HA 'straight' sorry merlin ur destiny is anything but that

the compilation of merlin trying to get the spell right to bring the statue to life is FUCKING HILARIOUS that one shot where he's stood on something pointing down at the statue dramatically and yelling the incantation 😭

*morgana enters the room* *music changes to something actually ethereal and godly* as it should she's perfect

"i did it! :D" merlins so adorable

AND MORGANA SAVES THE DAY LIKE THE BADASS BITCH SHE IS I LOVE HER

"you're too proud to admit you were saved by a girl" "because i wasn't!" "you know what? i wish valiant was escorting me." "fine." "fine!" why did they think anyone would believe the almost-romance plotline theyre so incredibly siblings
