THIS

I think a surprising amount of writers don’t realize that tragedies are supposed to be cathartic. They’re intended to result in a purging of emotion, a luxurious cry; the sorrow caused by a great tragedy is akin to fear caused by a good horror movie – it’s a “safe” sorrow, one that is actually satisfying to the audience. It can still be beautiful! It’s isn’t supposed to just be salting the earth so nothing can grow.

But that’s how you get grimdark: writers who don’t realize that they’re supposed to be doing something with the audience instead of to the audience.

I know I’ve posted about this before but I will literally never get over the fact that Merlin deadass screams a spell full blast at Lancelot and fucking lights the weapon in Lancelot’s hand on fire in huge ass flames and then when Lancelot is like “FYI bro I know you have magic” this himbo legit has the audacity to be like “wow man, Lancelot is one tricky sluether, can’t believe he uncovered my immaculately guarded secret” like omfg bro I am forever HOWLING

okay, okay. I think I've figured out why I love BBC Merlin so much.

it's an official fanfic.

No look, it has:

enemies to friends to lovers

soulmate au (of Arthurian legend)

slow burn. like slow, slow burn

(very) forbidden love

angst with fluff and crack

hurt/comfort

sometimes, hurt with no comfort

pining. lots and lots of mutual pining

jealousy

Knights and Mages

powerful women (who could have been treated better, but I'll take it)

gwaine

it also happens to contain all the tropes I adore:

The grumpy one is soft for the sunshine one

The asshole changes drastically because they want to impress the nice one

(this can be seen as arwen or merthur) prince falling for a servant, I'll never get tired of that

fORBIDDEN LOVE

everyone thinks they're in love except for themselves

The grumpy one not having real friends until the nice one came along

"I'm not a monster, am I" says the character who's the absolute opposite of a monster

grumpy one not showing how much they care about their love until their love's life is endangered

The nice sunshine one showing that they can be baTSHIT CRAZY POWERFUL all along

must I go on?

I shall.

evil one smirking evil-ly in the background and looking gODDAMN good doing it

wOMEN IN ARMOR

The lady Knight completely handing over the male Knight's arse to him

sTRONG AND compassionate Queens

prOPHESIES

"The chosen one(s)"

I can't think of anymore, but I'm sure there's more.

in conclusion, BBC Merlin is a fucking fanfic.

“Just hold me”

“But baby, we have always held each other”

This is the best thing ever,, the feels,, MY THROAT CLOSED

gwen is just

[picking flowers from her garden & twisting one behind her ear] [calloused, strong hands weaving, welding, making] [dust settling around her] [elyan’s weak & bloody grin] [her own shy smiles for the kind servant, the foolish prince, & the nightmare-plagued ward] [running her hands through morgana’s hair] [staring through the window at odd hours of the night, arthur asleep beside her] [her father’s voice echoing through the marketplace] [uther, bedridden & dying & yet still so fucking cruel] [long live the queen] [seeing flashes of life while floating in nothingness: tyr’s body, morgana laughing, the lake burning her alive] [leon training & telling her his father’s stories] [hurrying through the hidden halls of the castle & teasing arthur when she beats him to their throne room] [percival returning alone] [merlin returning alone] [staring through the window in the early morning, her bed cold & empty] [walking the thin line between gasping, desperate sobs & a corrosive numbness] [LONG LIVE THE QUEEN] [her mother’s funeral, her father’s, lancelot’s, elyan’s, gwaine’s, mordred’s, morgana’s, arthur’s] [(everyone returns alone)] [sitting elegant on her throne, the knights steady pillars beside her] [weeping by the lakeside] [kneeling before a little girl that tugged on her sleeve & twisting a flower into her hair] [pleased & smiling to merlin at the chaos of the council as she changes law after law] [magic like a blanket wrapping around her shoulders, a message to the world screaming this one will live] [a pendragon in the purest sense, albion in her eyeline & her crown on her head] [the once & future queen, strolling through the marketplace with the remains of her family grinning beside her] [whispering to the lake, i will not be a tragedy as she lights candles in the castle & tells her stories to her people, bringing warmth back to the world at last]

"It's true then?" Elyan frowned as he peered out the door into the hallway Lancelot had just exited through. Gwen bit her lip before nodding. "Damn. What would Lancelot and Merlin even argue about?"

"Please," Gwaine rolled his eyes before flicking his hair out of his face "This has got to be some new battle strategy. Maybe Morgana is trying to throw us off with this so we won't notice when she tries to invade again." He shrugged. The others seemed to consider this.

"That somehow makes more sense." Percival muttered. Gwen wrinkled her nose before putting down the basket with a sigh.

"I'm telling you," She said "George heard them both yelling. It sounded very intense."

"Maybe they were having sex. Sometimes people yell during sex." Gwaine suggested. Everyone turned to him.

"Is that more likely than having an argument?" Leon asked dryly. Gwaine pointed his glove at him.

"Between Lancelot and Merlin? Yes. Absolutely, you ignorant fool."

Or

Lancelot and Merlin get into an argument. All of Camelot loses its goddamn mind trying to figure out what's going on.

i think mercelot/ merlance deserved a lot more than they got. they were the healthiest relationship in the whole series. nothing to hide, nothing that cant be shared, nothing to be afraid of, mutal chaos, understanding and compassion - Merlin and Lancelot were communicating on a different level. I can imagine them just looking at each other and just knowing what the other was thinking. Imagine them just looking at each other, caring and just having soft and romantic intimate moments of just waking or riding together, appreciating everything around them, and holding each other - commucnicating with the beat of their hearts not only by looks. i dont know why we didnt have more moemnts of them together, just them being fully open and baring their sould to each other because they know that they have nothing to be judged for by the other. only acceptance and love.

[sirleonscurls]

OH MY GOD YES JJSSGHJHFSSWW

merlin: uses magic

lancelot: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
