thinking of pre canon arthur who was lonely and unloved and abused; of a teenage boy spending his nights in the cold believing that he killed his mother and is nothing but a disappointment to his father.
merlin walking into camelot was the warmest spring of his life skfgskjaf

Merlin: I told Arthur his ears flush when he lies.
Gwen: Why?
Morgana: Hey Arthur! Are you in love with Merlin?
Arthur, covering his ears: No.
Gwen: Well… I just lost a bet.
Morgana: Yes! Twenty minutes of head scratches!
Merlin, belatedly realising what Arthur just said: Wait, what?

Uther will never change his attitude towards magic, I know that. But if Arthur allows it to be used to heal his father, his attitude would be changed forever. He'll see that magic can be a force for good.

5x09 With all my heart
i feel like we didn't talk about this scene enough??? (i can't believe this scene also walked out my mind ajjajsfjh) it's CRAZY how arthur is willing to cut off his own limb to save merlin and gwen in this situation. that arm is gone if mordred didn't come 😭
AND HE DIDN’T EVEN HESITATE AFTER STRUGGLING FOR WHAT? 15 MINUTE MAX 😭
arthur: yeah i think all hope is lost, time to go arm
mordred: oh god please no

Has the sigil been beaten to death? Yes. Am I going to write a small essay about it anyway? Also yes.
The sigil is such a monumental piece of the story, guys. No matter who you ship, Arthur giving Merlin his mother’s sigil is outrageously important to the validation of their relationship and to Arthur’s character growth, AND a view into his evolving perception of his traitorous family, which is probably why they were cut bc why would we want THAT. I will explain.
Arthur resists verbalizing his friendship with Merlin so much, but he says a lot more with his actions - sacrificing himself for Merlin time and again, confiding in him, keeping him close even though he’s not really supposed to. The sigil is a tangible piece of himself that he gives to Merlin, inviting him into his family and reminding him, even if he can’t quite do it with words, how close they really are.
But his FAMILY. I think that Arthur’s perception of his family is really starting to shift here. He doesn’t give Merlin something that makes him a Pendragon. He doesn’t give him his father’s ring or a dagger encrusted with the symbol of the dragon. He gives him his MOTHER’S sigil, the symbol of the bird, which is of course very symbolic of the relationship between Uther and Ygraine vs. Arthur and Merlin, but it also means that Arthur doesn’t want to associate Merlin with the side of the family that connects via his father - Uther and Morgana, ruthless and hard and traitorous. Arthur didn’t know that Agravaine had betrayed him yet. He wants Merlin to be family, but I think he wants to try everything he can to associate Merlin with the soft bits of his family history - the memory of a kind, gentle mother and a loyal uncle. This, to me, suggests that Arthur is really feeling his own departure from his father’s ways and trying to find a part of himself that was maybe like his mother instead. That would have been important if Merlin had told him about his magic earlier, because Arthur maybe wouldn’t have wanted to react as his father would have.
I just think keeping the scene in would have changed everything about the show from that point on. WHICH IS WHY IT IS CANON IN MY HEAD.
