Merlin 3x08 “The Eye of the Phoenix” Highlights:
You know that when the episode starts with shirtless Arthur, you’re in for a good time
Oh look, his boyfriend and girlfriend are spying on him
Merlin: “He has to decide upon a quest.” – Gwen: “Crouching on his knees all night is going to help?” (Oh, Gwen, you have no idea how much thinking he does on his knees if the fanfiction is to be believed)
Uther low-key being like “Are you suuuuure you don’t want to pick something easier, kid?” and Arthur being like “No. This fits my ‘I have no regard for my own safety’ aesthetic.”
Merlin is a nervous eater and Gaius seems to take great joy in pointing it out every time it happens
Merlin with hiccups is adorable. Arthur being super annoyed at the hiccups is even more adorable
Morgause, the master of disguise and all kinds of shady shit, looking somehow like both the before and after pictures from an anti-wrinkle cream advert
I feel like I say this most episodes, but Katie McGrath and Angel Coulbey are honestly some of the most beautiful women in the world and we are blessed to have so much of them in this show
Arthur’s bracelet setting off Merlin’s magical heebie-jeebies and his misgivings doubling when he hears that it was Morgana that gave it to him
The further breakdown of Gwen and Morgana’s relationship is so tragic. Gwen looks so hurt when Morgana yells at her to get out
Merlin’s first instinct when he hears that he needs to have help on his quest is to find Gwaine and honestly? Valid
Gwaine’s smile when he sees Merlin and the way he tries to play it off casually like he isn’t thrilled that Merlin came looking for him specially
(Y’all, Gwaine is in love with Merlin and you can’t convince me otherwise)
The whole sequence where the two of them run away from the guys chasing Gwaine is just delightful
Gwaine’s hair, man. Just Gwaine’s hair
Ughghgh Gwaine is just so bouncy and joyful every time he gets to hang out with Merlin and I love it
WARWICK DAVIS
The whole courage/strength/magic is a great way to classify your OT3s. I hope it catches on
LISTEN, not to be Merwaine on main, but holy shit is there a lot of flirty banter between the two of them this episode
Morgana being the absolute worst kind of Manipulative bitch playing with Gwen’s emotions like that
GWEN SEEING MORGANA DOING MAGIC FOR THE FIRST TIME
This eye of the phoenix thing is properly terrifying
Gwaine gesturing that he’ll go scout ahead, and that Merlin should stay put. Merlin immediately walking off
Merlin: “Why do you want to do this?” – Gwaine: “Same reason as you. Help a friend.” – Merlin: “Oh. Arthur’s lucky to have us.” – Gwaine: (with a small smile) “Not Arthur.” (THEN A NICE LONG BIT OF SILENT EYE CONTACT) – Merlin: “I’d do the same for you.” – Gwaine: “Yeah, I hope so. You’re the only friend I’ve got.” – Merlin: (teasing) “I’m not surprised.”
Listen y’all, their relationship is so sweet and pure. I love them so much.
Arthur all floppy and weakened by the phoenix eye bracelet is literally just me trying to get up in the morning
Was Eoin Macken contractually obligated to have the top of his shirt undone and his hair blowing in the breeze most scenes? Because if so that was a good decision by the show runners
Gwaine being all like “they’re creatures of magic so be careful” to Merlin about the wyverns even though Merlin’s kind of their dad now
The wyverns reacting to Merlin’s scolding the exact way my dog does when I tell him off
Arthur rolling his eyes when he realises Merlin brought Gwaine and Gwaine grimacing like he’s wondering why they’re even bothering to help Arthur in the first place
Both of Merlin’s boyfriends being very concerned when they get separated from him
The “princess” that launched a thousand fanfic interactions between Gwaine and Arthur
I will never stop being salty about how the Avalon lake water was used later in the series, but I’ll rant about that when I get there
This whole scene between Merlin and the Fisher King is really wonderful and the acting is amazing
Arthur’s unceremonious roly-poly into the room
AAAAH GWAINE’S LITTLE HUG BECAUSE HE’S RELIEVED TO SEE THAT MERLIN IS ALRIGHT AFTER BEING SEPARATED FROM THEM
HE PROBABLY SEES THAT MERLIN IS KIND OF EMOTIONAL AFTER HIS ENCOUNTER WITH THE FISHER KING AND MISTAKES IT FOR HIM BEING EMOTIONAL ABOUT BEING ON HIS OWN
Gwaine just… loves Merlin so much, y’all
Gwaine watching Merlin ride into Camelot with Arthur and just looking so sad
Merlin’s excitable non-stop discussing of the quest because he’s in such a good mood because Gwaine
The fear and murder in Morgana’s eyes when she sees Arthur return safe and sound
