These are the tiny moments I love. It’s the way Arthur’s eyes don’t leave Merlin after he looks away. Not only do they not leave him, but you can literally see his eyes flick around Merlin’s face.

It’s a moment just for Arthur. To observe and appreciate his friend up close. He even does a little gulp as he’s taking in his side profile, his cheekbones, his chin. His Merlin.

Arthur loves Merlin. He was destined to.

The show is so focused on what Merlin has to teach Arthur, but the cruel irony is that Merlin failed to learn from Arthur and that was their undoing.

The entire show, it's always about what Merlin knows about the prophecy, when he'll reveal his magic, and helping Arthur become less of a prat. These are important and central to the show, but Arthur and Merlin are two sides of the same coin, so surely Merlin has plenty to learn from Arthur as well.

He DOES learn a lot and grow from his friendship with Arthur, but he failed the most important lesson. Merlin's knowledge of the prophecy is misconstrued as wisdom, and Arthur's wisdom is taken for granted. No one ever stressed how important it would be for Merlin to learn from Arthur (because almost all his magical counsel comes from Kilgarrah, who is majorly biased and focuses on the wrong parts of the prophecy).

It comes down to this: "No matter what adversity we face, we stand for what is right. To betray our beliefs - that is what will destroy everything we strive for." (Arthur in 5x01)

Cut to 5x05 The Disir and Merlin goes directly against Arthur's wisdom by betraying his belief that magic should be legalized, as well as betraying his fellow magic users. Instead he goes along with his reply to Arthur's statement in 5x01: "I will protect you or die trying."

And naturally the cruelty of this show is that Merlin is never wagering his own life when he protects Arthur, but in fact dooming him.

#this was sitting in my drafts #idk if there was supposed to be more to this but here it is anyways #the disir is the worst man #idk that i necessarily have a problem with the writing like it works i guess for the end goal of the show (to break everyone's hearts) #but it's so painful #bbc merlin #btw that quote of arthur's is one of my favorites of the whole show #bbc merlin meta #5x01 #5x05

I think the one spell Merlin used that breaks my brain the most is the one he did in 5.01 when Arthur tells him to be a Fool and he... he flashes his eyes and instantly becomes an incredibly skilled juggler? Like, it's highly implied that he couldn't juggle before the spell. Can he just... use magic to instantly become good at any skill? Alakazam! Now he can sew! Like. what??? esplain. Is it limited to physical skills? If he tried to instantly know the entire Egyptian language would he just get a migraine? Could he flash his eyes and instantly become a better swordsman than Arthur? Also, if he could, why hasn't he? Seems like a useful skill to have on hand. Or was the spell just an illusion to create the image of eggs being juggled and was he just miming the whole time? Or was the spell just to SUMMON the eggs and he really DID know how to juggle? I want answerrrs

#juggling Warlock baffles viewer – more at 7 #bbc merlin #merlin emrys #merlin #merlin season 5 #5x01 #arthur pendragon #LIKE #there's SO much ambiguity in Merlin flashing his eyes and then juggling eggs after claiming to have no entertainment skills #What was the spell meant to be??? Ik Colin specifically learned juggling for that one scene but like #in universe how did the juggling happen? did Merlin instantly learn juggling through magic and just never question that he had that power? #also the image of merlin cheating his way into being a better swordsman than Arthur is sending me #Arthur would be SO mad
