MORGANA PENDRAGON in Merlin | 4.11 “The Hunter's Heart”

5x03 | The Death Song of Uther Pendragon

for @merlinbingo : “EXECUTION”

I know we're all trying to get Merlin to be the next thing that gets rebooted, but uh. Are yall really sure? Im like 90% sure it would be a "be careful what you wish for" situation. Like, a 'Kilgharrah gets recasted as James Cordon' type situation. A 'Gwaine unironically fortnight dances at least twice' situation. Are you sure you guys want that? Are you sure you can cope with that? Could you really live with yourselves knowing that reboot!Percival is being played by John Cena?

There was magic at the heart of Camelot

Okay, so RTD is coming back to Doctor Who, Teen Wolf gets a sequel movie, Supernatural's prequel series is in the making, Benedict Cumberbatch is somehow still a popular dark-haired-brit-tumblr-crush as is Tom Hiddleston (I understand that one a little to be fair, he's nice), Loki is for sure gonna show up on at least three lists when we do the whole 2021 in review thing, Twilight is having a bit of a comeback and Percy Jackson is getting a Disney+ show. I swear I'm not gonna complain about any of this, I'm even looking forward to the oncoming chaos, BUT where is Merlin?

MERLIN (2008 - 2012) Morgana Pendragon ▶ Season 3, Episode 10: "Queen Of Hearts"

Merlin: Houston, we have a problem.

Gaius, sighing: Where are you?

Merlin: Houston. That's the problem. I don't know how I got here.

I would very much like to see the moment where, probably due to some verbal slip on Lancelot’s part or some off-hand comment from Arthur, Gwaine finds out that Lancelot:

a) has already previously been a Knight of Camelot

b) with the big official knighting ceremony and after party and everything

c) had his knighthood immediately redacted the very next morning

d) because he had committed identity fraud

And Lancelot would still probably not admit that Merlin was anything to do with it (at least not at first, but from here we can veer into Gwaine knowing about Merlin’s magic territory). Meaning there would be an amount of time where Gwaine thinks Lancelot committed this crime all by himself. Which would then cement Lancelot as Gwaine’s new best mate whether he likes it or not.

personally I do not want a Merlin reboot but I would die for a Merlin cartoon with the characters voiced by the original cast

Angel Coulby as Queen Guinevere | @merlin-cast-appreciation

Uther: Merlin, you have been accused of using sorcery

Merlin: ...

Uther: you know what this means

Merlin: but my name is Marvin

Uther:....

Uther: not it's not

Merlin: I'm pretty sure I know my own name, your majesty

Uther: I have it on good knowledge that-

Merlin: what's your source, Sire?

Uther: *sighs* Gaius, would you please help me out here?

Gaius: I have studied birds all my life, Sire. Marvin has helped me out finding new informations on Merlin's too, If that helps

Uther: what the - LEON!

Leon: Sire, Marvin here may be a bit incompetent, but now you're beeing unfair. He DOES know his own name.

Uther: okay, ARTHUR!

Arthur: *out of earshot* YES, FATHER?

Uther: GET IN HERE RIGHT NOW!!!

*awkward silence*

Arthur: *walks in*

Merlin *whispers to Leon*: shit, have you told Arthur?

Leon: *pale* no, you?

Merlin: *shakes head very slowly*

Arthur: father, i was training the knights, what do you - oh hey Marvin

..........

Uther: you can't be serious

#gorgeous even on the ground

It makes me sad to think about the knights because we never actually got to know them. Not truly. What does Elyan, Lancelot, and Leon like to do in their free time? We don't know. Does Leon have any siblings? We don't know. How did Elyan and Percival learn to fight? We don't know. What foods do Elyan, Lancelot, Leon, and Percival prefer? We don't know. Who was Elyan, Leon, Gwaine, and Percival's first loves? We don't know. How old are they? When are their birthdays? What are their favorite colors? Are they morning people or night owls? What are their favorite seasons? Their favorite books? Their proudest moments? Their biggest pet peeves? We don't know.

give him a break, gaius!!!

Leon: What are your names?

Gwaine: Don't tell him, Percival!

Leon: [writing it down] Percival.

Percival: Oh, nice going, Gwaine!

Leon: Percival and Gwaine. Got it.

In 3x13 Merlin says “you’re a Knight at last” Lancelot’s *immediate* response is “but for how long?” like he’s absolutely convinced he’s going to lose it all again.

THUS that’s why Merlin wakes up each morning with Lancelot holding him as close as he can for them to still comfortably sleep.
