the reason that arthur looked at dragoon and went "your eyes, we've met somewhere before" is because of the sheer amount of eyefucking the two of them do. man spends half his time staring into merlin's eyes he better have recognized them

Arthur: I am your king. Dragoon the Great: Well, I didn't vote for you. Arthur: You don't vote for kings. Dragoon: Well, how'd you become king, then? Arthur: The Lady of the Lake, her arm clad in the purest shimmering samite held aloft Excalibur from the bosom of the water, signifying by divine providence that I, Arthur, was to carry Excalibur. THAT is why I am your king. Dragoon: Listen, strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Dragoon is Merlin's grampa

so I'm looking for another post that was basically Arthur realizes that Merlin looks like Dragoon because he made a specific face or something while that he smashed his favorite pot and Arthur comes to the conclusion the he's his grandfather and i think that Dolma is his grandmother and is panicking

arthur: still a sorcerer then?

merlin, as dragoon: what kind of a stupid question is that? 'still a sorcerer?' what else am I going to be, an aardvark?

Arthur: You know, sometimes a coincidence is just a coincidence.

Gaius: Not where Dragoon a.k.a the Dolma a.k.a Emrys a.k.a Merlin is involved.

Arthur: Oh, wait, hold on, excuse me.

[turns to Merlin]

Arthur: The Dolma? Seriously?

Merlin: Hmmm? What?

Arthur: How come I don't know that? I know all of the aliases.

Merlin: Darling, nobody knows all of them… not even me.

The contrast between old Merlin's interactions with his friends and Uther are great (Kudos to Colin Morgan, great acting, as usual).

With Arthur and the Knights he was just trolling. He was... "affectionately" insulting them lol

But with Uther? Oh it was personal

Merlin and Uther's interactions are underrated.

This is the man who made him live in fear. This is the man who made him believe he was a monster. This is the man who oppressed him and others like him.

I really enjoyed Merlin's reveal to Uther in season 5. It was so nice to see him finally get to express his feelings to him after all that time spent biting his tongue while Uther ruled. Merlin finally gets some catharsis in telling Uther to suck it.

I mean I get it's hilarious that Merlin had to turn himself into Dragoon and the Dolma, I get the joke is that it's him in desguise BUT

I can't help thinking of an AU where Dragoon and Dolma are actually separate characters (still played by Colin Morgan because why not) and they are actually Merlin's great aunt and uncle from his father's side. And every time they need an outside sorcerer so Merlin doesn't blow his cover Guias is just like "well now you mention it I'm pretty sure your father has a mad old aunt who survived the purge we could try find" and as the series goes on it's just Merlin learning more about his paternal family who are a bunch of weirdos living in the middle of no where who don't give a hoot about fate or destiny or anything like that but I guess they'll help with King Arthur out if their long lost twink nephew asks nicely.

Snow and Dirty Rain (Merlin)

Richard Silken, "Snow and Dirty Rain" // BBC Merlin

Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4

-

it's finally here! the fourth and final part!!!

this one was hard, I had the most trouble with the last three pictures. I really wanted to include Elena and Mithian as well as Geoffrey, but they just... didn't really fit. it was objectively awful. sorry for that. so I reached out to @shana-rosee , and they threw me a few ideas! it was their call to have Geoffrey last - and they might not have realized it, but it turned out great for the symbolism, as I'll point out below. so thank you for that! (/gen) but yeah, today it was just bugging me and I NEEDED to get it done, and I think it turned out pretty good!

so the first image is alluding to part 3, where the line "if this isn't a kingdom, i don't know what is" is assigned to Arthur. for "the hunter's heart" I had the unicorn horn, because it showed that Arthur was pure of heart. for "the hunter's mouth" I had Leon, (yay! Leon!) because he's Arthur's advisor, and speaks for him.

I was DETERMINED to get Leon, Hunith, and Gaius in this one, and I'm so glad I did.

Tristan and Isolde have their line to represent, honestly, what they did in the show - a reflection of Merlin and Arthur, and how their great love (filled with magic, secrets, and war), ends in tragedy.

Hunith and Gaius are there to represent "the space between the trees", as they are Merlin's sanctuary, his parental figures, the ones who know about his magic and love him - not in spite of, but for it. and of course I had to have Gaius casting a spell for the gold line!

for the last three, it got a little complicated, but I figured it out.

for "the words frozen," I did the moment that Arthur and Merlin became officially forever connected - when Uther assigned Merlin as Arthur's servant after he saved his life. the knife in the throne, the speechless moment that followed.

for "the creatures frozen.", I had the most difficult time with. Shana suggested the Lamia, which was a great idea, but I didn't think that it quite fit with the rest. so instead, I did Dragoon at Camlann. that lightning is the moment that even a fraction of Merlin's true power is shown. Dragoon is representative of Merlin being allowed to be his true self, and the consequences that come with it. Merlin can literally freeze creatures using his words - a la spells, or, more fitting, dragonspeak. people also freeze in terror or awe at the very mention of the name Emrys. so yeah, I think it worked out quite well!

and lastly, for "Explaining will get us nowhere." as i said, Shana suggested Geoffrey here, likely because of his love of the library. that reason was actually why I considered putting him under "the words frozen," but I realized putting him last was much better. why?

well, because Geoffrey of Monmouth was a real person. who, you ask, exactly is he? well, just "one of the major figures in the development of British historiography and the popularity of tales of King Arthur." yeah, in case you didn't know, Geoffrey the record keeper in BBC Merlin was an allusion to the man who helped carry Arthur's tale throughout the years.

so, why "explaining will get us nowhere?" well, because, if you accept BBC's Merlin as the true canon, then Geoffrey recorded it wrong! lol.

(in line with this, if you haven't read it already, go read @katherynefromphilly 's We Begin Again series. it's absolutely incredible, well worth the long read, and will leave you wanting more! in a good way, I promise. in it, Merlin in the present day goes out of his way to fix everything history got wrong, and it's incredible. also I distinctly remember there being fish in little pond things indoors, which was a super cute detail.)

-

so, that's the last of my Snow and Dirty Rain/Merlin series. I went a little overboard explaining things, but it was just so fun finding and linking the symbolism!! I hope you all enjoyed!

(p.s. I'm planning to make more of Snow and Dirty Rain, but with twelveclara/whouffaldi from Doctor Who. if you're interested in that or other things I make, check out my richard siken or original post tags in my blog.)
