I’m here to challenge you to write something about Gwaine with that half-ponytail thing going on. Literally, anything lol
omg ofc I'm late but YES this turned out quite sweet (not good but like, the setting is sweet)
"Gwaine?", you called as you stuck your head through the door to your shared chambers. You'd been searching the whole castle for him. "Gwaine? Love?"
So he wasn't here either. Wonderful. You sighed and closed the door again, walking back down the hallway. You barely had any more places to go.
"Looking for someone?"
Lancelot was grinning as you gazed up at him.
"Yeah", you laughed, running a hand through your hair. "You don't just happen to have stumbled upon Gwaine?"
"Actually I have. He's at the stables. Don't ask me why though."
You raised your eyebrows but smiled and patted his shoulder, already walking by him again - at least now you had somewhere to search where you had an actual chance at finding Gwaine. "Thank you, Lance!"
Five minutes and a ton of stairs later, your heart was pounding and your breath came ragged but you'd reached the stables and there was indeed someone whistling inside. Carefully, you opened the door.
"Gwaine?", you called softly. You readied yourself to repeat it, but his head had already popped up behind one of the horses.
"Princess!", he greeted, and had it not been for the absurd image of the situation, you would've hit him for that nickname.
But like this.... he looked hilarious. And absolutely adorable. And if it weren't for the dirt on his cheek and the hay in his hair, he probably would have looked very, very attractive. Not that he didn't. But it kind of ruined what could have been a very sexy look.
You crossed your arms and laughed at him.
"I have never once seen you put your hair up", you told him as his grin widened further and further. "Honestly, nor have I seen you here.... caring for the horses?"
Gwaine reached up to touch the bun his hair was trapped in as though he had just remembered that it was there. Which you could tell by his expression was certainly not the case. He looked way too smug.
"Oh? You like it?"
His grin turned cheeky and you shook your head in response, not quite believing that Gwaine was totally glossing over half of your questions (namely whatever he was doing in the stables the whole day), but then again you didn't care enough to get your answers just now to call him out.
"If I say yes, does that mean you'll wear it like that more often?", you asked instead.
Gwaine put down something he'd been holding and stepped away from the horse, grabbing onto your waist to pull you into a hug once he got close enough - something you usually would've protested against considering how muddy he was, but you hadn't seen him all day and clothing could easily be washed again after all.
"Maybe", he teased.
You grinned and reached up with one hand to rub some dirt off of his cheek. "Well then, yes, I certainly do like it."

I am not a medievalist. I have no plans to become a medievalist. But I will say, so far every portrayal of Gawain that I’ve seen in media is completely valid and they all pass my own personal vibe check. Merlin’s version is just pure ADHD and eat the rich vibes. There’s an absolutely bonkers novel called By Force Alone (basically Arthuriana by way of Tarantino & Scorsese) which depicts Gawain as a traveler in an eldritch land (Faerie), sorta like the scientists from Annihilation. Dev Patel’s version leaps before he looks and chops off the Green Knight’s head in a show of performative masculinity. They’re all just like me fr

Gwaine DOES care about Merlin in a better ways than Arthur and you’re right to say it! The first time I watched Merlin I thought all the teasing was fun and cute, but then I watched it again and the way that Arthur treats Merlin is ACTUALLY mean sometimes. But Gwaine is a saint, love of my life
yEAH! I honestly wish that Arthur had more character development when it comes to how he treats Merlin. even just a subtle amount more than Arthur being nice only when he is vulnerable or Merlin is about to DIE.
Gwaine has a massively different background than Arthur, but he is still a legitimate noble that treats Merlin with respect, even after he is knighted. After Lancelot died Gwaine became the last remaining knight to have had a personal relationship with Merlin before being knighted AND IT SHOWS!!!

Arthur and Merlin yelling at each other just off the training field. Lancelot: What's going on? Gwaine: Mum and Dad are fighting again. Lancelot: Who's winning? Gwaine: Who do you think? Lancelot: My money's on Merlin Leon: Back to training you two Gwaine: Oh come on Leon! Don't tell me you're not the least bit curious?! Leon: Whatever disagreements that arise between our king and his consort are none of our business. Gwaine: *pouting* You're no fun. Leon: Besides, everyone knows mu- I mean Merlin always wins

merlin’s secret being a visual thing. when he is around arthur or gwen or leon or morgana or [insert whatever character here] merlin seems pale and thin, almost like a ghost or an apparition. when the sun lands on him he reflects it like a corpse, he eyes seem dark and dull. he has this ethereal beauty to him, this otherworldly visage that leads many to believe he is of fae blood. he just doesn’t seem to be 100% human. but when he is ONLY with lancelot or gaius (cough or gwaine bc gwaine DEFINITELY knew) merlin is heartachingly human. merlin shines in the sunlight, colors are brighter and more vibrant around him, and his smiles are wide and his laughs are boisterous. he takes on color and leaves everyone wanting to know him. but when other join in or interact with the two, merlin shifts before their eyes so quickly and suddenly that they aren’t sure whether or not what they saw was a trick of the light. the idea still leaves them wanting more and wanting to see the merlin who is just so full of life but that merlin only appears for a small select group of people. merlin who has a guard so high that it has an effect of other’s perception of him.
#arthur is absolutely steaming about this btw#he so desparately wants to be in the golden bubble around merlin in those moments#but his mere presence seems to pop it#hes fuming#its not until after the magic ban is repealed that everyone gets to see the glowing golden merlin#and they finally realize what the trick of the light was#merlin who is magic incarnate who (no matter how hard he tries) cannot fully repress what makes him him#arthur who finally gets to be in the golden bubble and its so much better than he ever couldve imagined#merlins magic is finally able to roam free the way it only could with a few people#merlins magic who absolutely adores arthur and is constantly reaching out for him even if him and merlin arent in the same vicinity#lmao arthur bringing up how merlins magic likes to card thru his hair and ease any sore muscles he may have#and lancelot and gwaine going ‘wtf? what about my muscles and hair?? merlin hates me?? merlin is playing favorites???? jail.’#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#merthur#subtle magic my beloved#visibly Strange merlin my dear#idk i was thinking about pre-magic reveal!arthur watching merlin and lancelot talking and then pouting and going#‘why doesnt he smile and look at me like that? :(‘#and then post-magic reveal!arthur having a moment of realization and going#like ‘oh hes hiding a huge part of what makes him him. i only know half of my best friend.’#and then setting out to know ALL of him bc arthur and merlin are soulmates and in love and two sides of the same coin and best friends and-#im going thru my drafts and finding so many banger posts#idk why i never posted them LMAOO

Y’all the Gawain x Lancelot goes hard in the literature
“You must never doubt me when I assure you that Gawain would not have wanted to be chosen king, there and then, if it meant losing Lancelot.”
WHAT!!?

Okay so we all know Merlin is queer-coded but how gay is it really.
So i made a polycule diagram
Tumblr media
The solid lines are primary partners
The long dashes are dating but not primaries
The short dashes are exes
And the short and long one is "Theres feelings but we're friends"
