Hello Anon, you made me cry at 1 am. I hope you’re happy.
The thing that breaks me is that all of the tragedy that happens in this show happens primarily because of love, especially considering the fact that the genocide that serves as one of the central themes is initiated because of Uther’s grief for Ygraine’s death. It’s as if destiny was trying to fix a problem caused by love by bringing people who would love each other together. Lancelot died and saved the world because he loved Merlin, Gwen and Arthur. Will died protecting the once and future king because he loved his best friend. Freya’s love for Merlin made her the Lady of the Lake. Arthur dies right after his greatest victory in Camlann – where he fights for the love of Camelot, Albion, and the future he believed where kingdoms could be united — so his story could reach the four corners of Albion and unite a divided land under admiration of his rule. Gwen and Arthur’s love gave Albion a Queen that could lead it into the golden age that Arthur started. Love (for his king and his people) was the reason the greatest sorcerer to ever walk the earth kept on fighting for a destiny that both gave and took everything from him (and made him stay and protect the world in the absence of his king while waiting for his return). I’m not going to go into Elyan and Gwaine’s death because I stand by my view that they were absolutely unnecessary.
Destiny could only be fulfilled because of the love that the characters had for each other. Whether that love ended up as a tragedy was of no consequence, because there is no right or wrong in destiny. Only what is, and what isn’t.

merlin is a bratty bottom. no i will not elaborate
Since it’s my fourth time in a row watching Merlin I’ve noticed that like… Nobody fucking knocks on this show. The best example of this is how Merlin just enters Gwen’s whole ass house without knocking, on several occasions.
Merlin is the only one who gets in trouble for it despite not being the only one who does it. Like in The Changeling when Uther just barges into Arthur’s room, or in Eye of the Pheonix when Gwen does the same to Morgana. No privacy allowed in Camelot, apparently.
I’ve got 3 wips in the works 😈
2 hannigram (1 multi-chaptered, 1 oneshot)
1 merthur oneshot
I’m so so excited to write these and start sharing them 😍
IF YOU LOVE MERTHUR HEAR ME OUT!’
Heather by Conan Gray
Suits Merthur SO much!
THINK ABOUT IT
Merlin is in love with Arthur but he knows Arthur is in love with Gwen (And Gwen is Queen) . So Merlin wishes he were Gwen.
“Only if you knew how much I liked you
But I watch your eyes as she
Walks by
What a sight for sore eyes
Brighter than the blue sky
She’s got you mesmerised while I die”
And THEN
“Why would you ever kiss me?
I’m not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater, it’s just polyester
But you like her better
Wish I were Heather”
…….
“Watch as she stands with her, holding your hand
Put your arm ‘round her shoulder, now I’m getting colder
But how could I hate her, she’s such an angel
But then again, kinda wish she were dead as she
Walks by”
ITS LITERALLY PERFECT!😭❤
BONUS:
This is another thing I imagine whenever I listen to the song :
Merlin is in love with Arthur but he knows that Gwen is the Queen and Arthur loves Gwen. So he writes a song about it but because someone might find it he puts 'HEATHER’ instead of Gwen So no one finds out.
(If you don’t understand hes singing “Heather” by conan Gray EXCEPT IN THIS IT’S FROM HIM)
He sings it everytime he’s alone and cries, Thinking about how he wants to be Gwen. He wants to be the one who gets to kiss Arthur, sleep next to him, cuddle with him, and even get carried by him (like Arthur carried Gwen in season 5 iykyk)
He wants to be “Heather”
I’m crying now😭😭💔

Here are the lyrics to the song Heather by Conan Gray btw :) :
I still remember the third of December, me in your sweater
You said it looked better on me than it did you
Only if you knew how much I liked you
But I watch your eyes as she
Walks by
What a sight for sore eyes
Brighter than the blue sky
She’s got you mesmerised while I die
Why would you ever kiss me?
I’m not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater, it’s just polyester
But you like her better
Wish I were Heather
Watch as she stands with her, holding your hand
Put your arm 'round her shoulder, now I’m getting colder
But how could I hate her, she’s such an angel
But then again, kinda wish she were dead as she
Walks by
What a sight for sore eyes
Brighter than the blue sky
She’s got you mesmerised while I die
Why would you ever kiss me?
I’m not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater, it’s just polyester
But you like her better
I wish I were Heather
Oh, I wish I were Heather
Oh, oh, wish I were Heather
Why would you ever kiss me?
I’m not even half as pretty
You gave her your sweater, it’s just polyester
But you like her better
Wish I were
the inherent homoeroticism of watching BBC Merlin with your best friend………
SOMEBODY (me) has had the “merlin but it’s a [redacted] au” thought and, well, here we are:
Sort of a redraw, um, Merlin’s just trying to do his job, bUT ARTHUR’S IN LOVE AND HE’S GOTTA DANCE WITH MERLIN(i made Merlin way shorter than I originally planned, also wtf are backgrounds)
how to get rid of a wart:
guaranteed to keep away for up to 1500 years!
i cant believe gwaine literally called uther a shit king right to arthurs face and all arthur did was roll his eyes. i cant believe arthur “im-the-only-person-whos-allowed-to-insult-my-family-and-i-usually-dont-anyway” pendragon didnt give a single shit abt that. what
