#the great emrys???

[teefscrubz]

Sitting across from one another with the fire crackling between them, the knights are just occupying themselves with idle chatter as they always do, Arthur nattering on about whatever parry or thrust or whatnot they must work on in training when they get home.

Except they all one by one send glances in Merlin's direction, noticing more specifically how the manservant doesn't seem to stop shooting glares towards young Sir Mordred. Sir Mordred, however, isn't as subtle with his glances, instead staring slack-jawed at Merlin outright, for an increasingly long time. Elyan is the first to bring it up with a chuckle, nudging the young knight's side.

"Hey, I reckon Mordred has a little crush."

Merlin scoffs, turning to continue his previously abandoned chore of polishing Excalibur, while Arthur snickers at the thought. "Well, of course he does," The King hums idly, "He's only young. I wonder, Sir Mordred, which lady of Camelot have you taken fancy to?"

"I think our fair lady is with us right now." Percival grins, catching on fast to what Elyan was suggesting. With wiggling eyebrows, he jerks his head towards Merlin, who is actively ignoring all of them by now. Poor Mordred is sinking into his seat on an overturned log, face flushing furiously with embarrassment.

"Emrys.. Emys, it isn't true, please tell them to stop.."

Merlin darent flinch at the voice echoing in his head, instead shooting Mordred a warning glare in response. "Well, perhaps you should stop staring at me, then."

"Ohhh, they're staring so intensely. Kiss already!" Gwaine croons, "The tension is too much!"

It is now that Arthur looks up, dumbfounded as he glances between Mordred and Merlin in horror. His lip curls in disgust. "Mer-lin? Your crush is on this bloody idiot?"

Mordred can't help but simply stare out of fascination. How can Emrys, Magic Incarnate, polish swords and stoke fires?! It's blasphemous to him, if not insane! He shrinks back with a groan, pouting at his feet as the knights continue to poke fun.

[themundanemudperson]

the reason that arthur looked at dragoon and went "your eyes, we've met somewhere before" is because of the sheer amount of eyefucking the two of them do. man spends half his time staring into merlin's eyes he better have recognized them

I have, once again, liked a piece I was working on a little to much, proceeded to feel like I can't do it justice with my skills and turned to silly doodles as a means of distraction.

Soooo how is your day going?

[pendragonsclotpole]

rewatching an episode of season one of merlin right now, i have a lot of thoughts (arthur legit looks so young it’s messing with my mind realizing how much the characters grow over the seasons and oh my lordy merlin used to be so pure, so trusting, so naive *ugh*) but one thing that just popped into my head: how small Camelot looks.

this is probably due to budget reasons, but the fact that random people can show up and demand an audience with uther or appear mysteriously and meet with a prince, it just makes me wonder what that must have been like for merlin both during his time in camelot and after

we’re talking a kingdom’s whose golden age was in an era of petty states and kings, a few centuries after the fall of the roman empire. merlin fics sometimes bring up how popular merlin is among the people of camelot. it highlights the unspoken notion that camelot and its nobles and royals aree within degrees of separation.

the world, after arthur’s death, must have gotten so frightfully big for merlin. i just think, what if merlin had served arthur or another such king in a later era when the size of the kingdom was so much larger? remove the feudalistic background, if that is what they were going for in the series, and who is merlin? its for that reason that i love the joke that merlin would lowkey be a monarchist because yeah, merlin lived an early era of kings where royals could be in such close proximity and held to the standards of their people.

#merlin #bbc merlin #arthur pendragon #merlin bbc #merthur #king arthur #merlin emrys #bbc merthur #incoming headcanon: camelot was a small but mighty kingdom that succeeded in centralizing power within the region #after centuries of destabilization in the aftermath of the fall of the roman empire #the pendragon’s united the region #brought great wealth and respect over the lands #like imagine if this is why the purge succeeded #or maybe this is me trying to make history out of a fictional work

Merlin: if I can’t use magic… I might as well die! :’(

Arthur: You know, sometimes a coincidence is just a coincidence.

Gaius: Not where Dragoon a.k.a the Dolma a.k.a Emrys a.k.a Merlin is involved.

Arthur: Oh, wait, hold on, excuse me.

[turns to Merlin]

Arthur: The Dolma? Seriously?

Merlin: Hmmm? What?

Arthur: How come I don't know that? I know all of the aliases.

Merlin: Darling, nobody knows all of them… not even me.

The contrast between old Merlin's interactions with his friends and Uther are great (Kudos to Colin Morgan, great acting, as usual).

With Arthur and the Knights he was just trolling. He was... "affectionately" insulting them lol

But with Uther? Oh it was personal

Merlin and Uther's interactions are underrated.

This is the man who made him live in fear. This is the man who made him believe he was a monster. This is the man who oppressed him and others like him.

I really enjoyed Merlin's reveal to Uther in season 5. It was so nice to see him finally get to express his feelings to him after all that time spent biting his tongue while Uther ruled. Merlin finally gets some catharsis in telling Uther to suck it.

Hey guys

Theoretically, if Merlin finds out that Kilgharrah lost Aithusa, how would he punish him?
