“morgana was failed by the writers.” NO. at least our girl GOT a character arc. (albeit one that was ultimately unsatisfactory and not even NEARLY fulfilling its potential)

meanwhile, arthur and merlin had an approximate total of two (2) episodes of character arc.

episode 1 merlin: me no likey the arrogant prince.

episode 1 arthur: me no likey the arrogant peasant.

episode 4 merthur onwards: i will die for you. you are mine. i am yours. you have my solemn promise i will cherish you until my final breath. my every waking hour is devoted to you. there are no lines i will not cross to ensure your protection.

and then they just proved that for 5 seasons.

#this is a joke #I love the characters of bbc merlin but they were all done so dirty #except my guy leon #leon just vibing in the corner and we love him for it #unproblematic king #also I was about to tear into the writers for using morgana as a plot device #but I think I just used morgana as a plot device for this post #I’m so sorry #what have I done #I would also like to clarify the first statement was for shock value ONLY #IT IS NOT A REFLECTION OF MY FEELINGS TOWARD MORGANA #I LOVE THAT WOMAN WITH MY ENTIRE HEART #AND WE WILL BE DISCUSSING THAT AT A LATER DATE #bbc merlin #merlin #arthur pendragon #merlin bbc #merthur #merlin and arthur #morgana pendragon

merlin. 🫶 who to most of camelot was just a servant. but who was the most devoted and loyal of any person in the royal household. who had immense power, power to destroy, power to seek revenge. who instead used it to conjure butterflies, save the innocent, and work alongside a man who should have been his sworn enemy to build a better, more hopeful world.

arthur. 🫶 who was the son of a tyrant. who was arrogant and conceited. who was born of immense love, and immense sacrifice, and yet had never been looked at like he mattered, until said servant came along and gave him the chance to realise how deeply he wanted to CARE. who became the head of a kingdom built on violence and pain. who became merciful and gentle and HUMBLE to a fault. who fell in love with a man who should have been his sworn enemy, and by his side, tried to build a better, kinder world.

bbcs merlin is a show for the misunderstood. which happens to be all of us. we all have parts of ourselves we hide away, because we can’t or won’t let anyone see, or because we haven’t yet realised their presence within ourselves. we are human. ever-changing. constantly misunderstood, by ourselves and others. and yet we are always redeemable if we choose to be. the characters of bbcs merlin are excellent because they are too.

merlin. arthur. gwen. morgana. gwaine. lancelot. <3

Arthur Pendragon in modern au fics:

#modern au Arthur is the type of dude who gets annoyed when people say slay too often #but then he says it once #and can't stop from that point on #slay king #this is peak comedy imo #arthur pendragon #bbc merlin #modern au #merlin and arthur

Merlin and Arthur's prophecy:

“The Golden Age is promised. The Great King will come, born in love and death. He will be a miracle, Blessed by the Religion itself. The Great Purge of his Kingdom will follow. Dragon will slay dragon. Flame will die in flame. The kin of the Isle will burn. And from the ash, The Great Sorcerer will come, born in death and love. He will be Divine, Blessed of the Religion itself. They will mend the chasm. They will unite Albion. Two Dragons will rule the age of prosperity. They will come. It is promised.”

#screaming because they're LITERALLY PARALLELS IN EVERY WAY #TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN #AND THEY WERENT FUCKNG JOKING #Merlin is because Arthur is #like #anyways #from a fic I'll never finish #lol #prophecy #merlin emrys #bbc merlin #merlin #arthur pendragon #merlin bbc #merthur #merlin and arthur #emrys

Thinking about BBC Merlin on this golden morning in the new year, because it really said, hey, what if, at the end of it all, the most important part of a life isn’t destiny or legacy or glory, what if it’s love, and what if it always has been.

#what if that’s the only thing that ever really mattered anyway #yeah I hated them for that ending for a long time #still would’ve rathered arthur not die but alas #bbc merlin #merlin #arthur pendragon #merlin bbc #merthur #merlin and arthur

that awkward moment when you realise you have based your entire personality on a tv series that ended over a decade ago and a non-canonical romantic relationship between the main characters (two clueless men ruling a kingdom side by side as they fall deeper and deeper in love with each other)

#that beautiful moment #i should say #i have zero regrets #this is my life now #merlin is a lifestyle #merlin #bbc merlin #arthur pendragon #merthur #merlin bbc

gwaine: none of them are worth dying for, huh?

arthur: no man is worth your tears

merlin: there can be no place for magic in camelot

above: the local gays of BBC’s Merlin lying their asses off for 5 seasons straight instead of just ADMITTING THE TRUE DEPTH AND DEVOTION OF THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER (romantic styles)

#why are they like this #personally attacked by all of these quotes #the local gays #of camelot #bbc merlin #merlin #arthur pendragon #merthur #merlin bbc #merwaine

arthur: “my father didn’t strut.”

babes your father was not only PLAYED BY ANTHONY HEAD, but was also seen, on multiple occasions, gaming on his hot pink nintendo ds in the middle of tournament fights, ANDDD dramatically swishing his cloak every time he exited a conversation

this man STRUTTED through the castle corridors like he owned the place 🤨

#strutting and sashaying otw to an execution 🥰 #he strutted so arthur could stumble #emotional and physical stumbling #i should clarify that while is was a powerful pussy pop strut #it was also a tyrannical strut #bbc merlin #merlin #arthur pendragon #merthur #merlin bbc #fuck uther #uther pendragon #my father didn’t strut #james potter
