me explaining how everything would’ve been different after bbc merlin episode 2.08 the sins of the father if morgause had juST USED THAT DAMNED CRYSTAL SOONER and seen arthur actually fighting uther and being lied to and manipulated back into thinking uther was right because tHEN SHE COULDVE SOUGHT HIM OUT BUT ALONE THIS TIME AND DEFENDED HERSELF AND GOTTEN ARTHUR ON HER SIDE and then when she reached out to morgana the three of them would’ve teamed up and brought uther to his knees

#idk where merlin fits into this but TBH i am feeling decidedly uncharitable towards him rn so i dONT CARE #arthur decides to include him in their scheming after morgana tells gwen bc he feels lonely #and morgause is like youre an IDIOT why would you want him included in this when he so OBVIOUSLY is against magic #but then morganas like no wait but he knows abt my magic and hes been cool abt it #(which is a shock in and of itself but ANYWAY) (ohhh sort of like the mordred situation tbh) #and anyways so merlin gets included but he and morgause are like Really Terrible with each other and hes like UHHHHH MAYBE WE SHOULDNT #but then arthurs like shut up merlin #anyway etc etc uther dies or is forced to abdicate and arthur takes the throne #oh idk when merlin would confess his magic though. OH NO I KNOW #HES ARGUING WITH ARTHUR ABOUT THE PLAN TO TAKE UTHER DOWN AND ARTHURS LIKE morgause was right i shouldnt have told you #youre on his side arent you? and is just like fully convinced that merlin hates magic and stuff until merlin gets annoyed n hysterical #and yells I FUCKING AM MAGIC YOU CLOTPOLE #etc etc. #ok bye #ignore me #bbc merlin #2.08

[antvnger]

I feel that you would like Merlin's post. @merlin-emrys-clotpole the one where they ask if he wears a pointy hat.

You know what, Anon? You’re right. I do like his post.

Dragons >>> pointy hat

If I had to pick between dragons and a pointy hat, I’d take the dragons.

Wow everyone is on tumblr!! Even fricking Merlin!!

Merlin rewatch -- S2E1: The Curse of Cornelius Sigan

Things I like

Clotpole! The reaction from all three was iconic. Merlin didn’t even know what he said. And I’m sure Cedric and Arthur had zero clue what a clotpole was either.

Merlin learned to read Arthur’s gestures!

Merlin was so petty and instantly took it out on Cedric lol

Bradley's incredulous face was used so much in this ep lol so many ridiculous things happened around Arthur.

Arthur looked genuinely happy when he asked who threw the spear. I liked that he never felt jealous or outshone when his knights (or servants I guess) did better than him.

The face Merlin had after he received the magic was beautiful. The wide eyes. The epiphany. The breathy voice.

I Love Sigan’s speech. The way the lines were delivered. Mackenzie Crook was brilliant.

Merlin BBC UK TV Show - Opinion Piece Part 3 - Deciphering The Ages Of Merlin, Arthur and Morgana and It’s Possible Implication To Their Character Arc

I have used a quite modern interpretation of their ages, but it’s not like this show was ever particularly historically correct.

Arthur’s Age:

The Great Purge started directly after Arthur’s birth as confirmed by Uther in the very first episode of Season 1 when they celebrated the capture of the Great Dragon “20 years ago”.

In Season 1 Episode 9 Arthur is named as the crown prince in the coming of age ceremony.. So we can assume he turned 21.

Therefore Arthur’s age could be:

Season 1 - Age 21

A Year Passes

Season 2 - Age 22

Another year, We know it’s been a year because Uther says, “it’s been a year since Morgana’s been missing”.

Season 3 - Age 23

About 2 more years pass. Arthur says something about 2 years of peace before Morgana shows up again.

Season 4 - Age 25

Two more years pass. Morgana states that she was trapped in a hole for 2 years.

Season 5 - Age 27

Merlin’s Age:

GIF by aclanswoman

Merlin is described as a “young boy” in Series 1-3 and as a “young man” in Series 4-5 by Kilgharrah.

So it is safe to assume that Merlin is less than 18 in Series 1-3 and at least 18 in Series 4-5.

Therefore Merlin’s age could be:

Season 1 - Age 15

Season 2 - Age 16

Season 3 - Age 17

Season 4 - Age 19

Season 5 - Age 21

Morgana’s Age:

GIF by emryslastbraincell

Here is a leaked image from the script from the first episode that describes Morgana thus:

Therefore Morgana’s age should be the same as Merlin:

Season 1 - Age 15

Season 2 - Age 16

Season 3 - Age 17

Season 4 - Age 19

Season 5 - Age 21

So if my deduction is correct then, it clarifies certain plot points in the series:

1) Uther did not cheat on Igraine. Igraine died birthing Arthur. Morgana being younger than Arthur means Uther’s affair with Morgana’s mother Vivenne happened after Igraine’s death.

2) The young ages of Merlin and Morgana help us understand the huge number of mistakes they both made. Nobody that young can cope with the huge responsibilities and turmoil these two faced.

3) Arthur being condescending to Merlin to a certain extent now makes more sense as he is that much older than him, instead of Arthur just being a CLOTPOLE.

[pendragonsclotpole]

Okay, I know people have played around with this idea but imagine if this scene was Arthur confessing that he knew Merlin had magic all along and never said? Originally, Arthur did it because of his slight fondness for the little shit that stood up to him and then to protect him from the threat of Uther, but then it all felt too late to just tell Merlin that he knew. Also, Merlin NEVER SAID ANYTHING EITHER. Even after years of service, even after all they’ve been through, BUT LIKE NEITHER HAD ARTHUR, so they both suck and make each other suffer for nothing but a misguided lack of trust and now it comes out when Arthur is dying and nothing can change this.

Imagine the inherent tragedy of getting the reveal and having it mean nothing, and change nothing. Arthur has that wound, and no amount of magic can get him to Avalon but now Merlin knows he could have done something sooner to change this fate, but fuck it, if he had known that Arthur knew, then he’d have told Arthur straight up why they had to split up. So fuck Arthur Pendragon for hurting him like this and fuck fate for all of it. Merlin still waits thousands of years to get closure from the one man he also owes some closure to, and Arthur dies knowing he could have also changed his own fate. I just would like to give the clotpole some more braincells, because the evidence was right there, in front of him, and imagine if they’d made it known at any point? But no, and all that’s left is this tragedy and mutual disappointment.

Broken Crown - Snippet #5

"Merlin." He was shaken out of his musings. "You are staring. Why are you staring?"

"You can't know that, clotpole, your eyes are closed."

"I can feel it."

"Ah," he hummed. "Is it a good feeling?"

"It's distracting."

"What does it distract you from?"

"Right now? Sleep."

"I can cure you, somewhat of your curse." Merlin says, tilting his head. "I have seen it many times over my long life, Steven. Please allow me to do this." -@merlin-emrys-clotpole

"I don't trust a cure."

[antvnger]

Merlin is pretty nice, yeah! I enjoyed talking with him.

He doesn’t look old, but he’s definitely an old soul. You can tell by the way he talk and acts that he’s been around a long time and has seen a bunch of stuff.

Sorry about the look of the ask, Anon. I found it in my email, but I couldn’t find it in my ask box.
