#i miss merlin

[ladyofthelake]

I really miss my BBC Saturday night fantasy escapism bromance magical mythical adventure shows like wtf are they spending their budget on anymore

#I miss Merlin #and Robin Hood #and Atlantis #yes atlantis was good in s2 when it found its feet #and had a beautiful romance with pythagoras and icarus #then bbc cancelled #like wtf I need my escapism show #I miss how Saturdays used to be epic #mostly because of Merlin that'll always be my fave #and we'd come on here and scream and yell and cry and laugh #and reblog all the gifs and meta and analysing every frame #sighs #good times

Remember when the Bradley posted a pic and some of the cast were commenting and the fandom decided a Merlin come back was happening. Did anything come out of that?

just remembered a fic on AO3 (or more likely LJ because it had that distinct late 00's experimental vibe) that appeared double-spaced oddly, in that some paragraphs would be spaced normally and others would have double or even triple spaces in between. it was about one half of the otp getting over the other's death (or coma, can't remember which), so all the comments were about how poignant the use of visual spacing was as a means to convey all the emotional holes in the character's life.

and then the author replied like... *giggle* guys it's NOT double spaced. try selecting the whole text

and we were all like "no WAY"

but we selected the text, and yes!!!

the "holes" in the story? they were actually lines and actions from the dead/coma character's ghost, rendered invisible to the eye by the simple trick of coloring the text the exact same as the background, revealed by nothing more than a click and a drag of the mouse

a story about the profound loneliness of losing your the partner of your life and having to make do without them, without anything to fill the holes they'd left behind, suddenly became a story about the profound helplessness of seeing someone you love suffer from your absence while you are right there, unable to do anything about it, unable to communicate that you love them enough to suffer unseen and unheard with them, just to keep them company they'll never know about

it was then that I truly realized how *superior* the digital medium is to plain printed paper, how the medium and the format can add to a story.

I think about that fic about once a year. I wish I could find it again

EDIT: FOUND IT!!!! UPDATE HERE

#probable fandoms for it (that I was in at that time): naruto Hikaru no go deathnote maybe? #definitely not Harry Potter or BBC merlin. I can't recall what else I was into back in 2008-2009 #God I miss those Fandom days. everyone was doing such NEAT things both coding and writing wise #fanfic #pretty sure it was LJ #UPDATE: IT WAS LJ AND THE FIC IS BBC SHERLOCK 🤮 #but still worth reading

we were robbed of arthur getting to know merlin once again but for real this time

I’m apparently a year late to this concept, however …

#obviously they’re both British so it’s not quite #but with a few tweaks it’s strikingly similar #like there’s that story that Henry makes up about the Prince and the peasant boy #that’s just the plot of Merlin actually #ugh firstprince I miss you #my art #bbc merlin #merlin #merlin emrys #arthur pendragon #merthur #firstprince #rwrb #red white and royal blue

[nextstopparis]

obsessed with the scene in 5.02 where they’re crawling up that sewer or whatever thing. merlin is fighting for his life gagging every 3 seconds and arthurs just laughing at him

LIKE??????

#mostly because i think youd expect arthur to be the one thatd be overly concerned with cleanliness and stuff #IDK how to explain ok. its a subtle kind of role reversal to me i am obsessed with it leave me alone #bbc merlin #merthur #i miss them bad guys

happy pride to everyone! <3 <3

merlin who grew up in a small village and only having one (1) friend growing up (will) and them two being thick as thieves and not making friends with anyone else so they have like no boundaries and they eventually begin to court without really knowing what they’re doing but just knowing that they’re super close and care for each other deeply but not being able to put a name to what they are. which in turn leads to merlin growing up thinking that like spending 24/7 together, holding hands everywhere you go, staring into each others eyes and at each others lips, cuddling at night even when it’s boiling hot, and kissing is normal in platonic friendships which leads to a LOT of misunderstandings and miscommunication when he gets to camelot.

#merlin x will #what’s their ship name #whatever #merlin completely missing gwen’s flirting in the early seasons #thinking him and lancelot are just really good friends despite the fact that they’ve kissed multiple times #thinking him and gwaine are BEST friends after spending the night in his room #(gwaine never correcting that bc he’s used to the whole one night stand move on kinda thing. he’s a fling queen.) #never questioning what the fuck is going on with him and arthur #merlin: i love all my very good friends :] #literally all of camelot: i’m in love with you #merlin emrys #bbc merlin #mergwen #merthur #mercelot #mergwaine #multishipper #merlin’s harem #oblivious merlin 🔛🔝 #arthur pendragon #sir gwaine #sir lancelot #guinevere #this is just adding on to my previous bbc merlin post LMAO #i just decided to post it separate

*appears out of the ether to give you this*

I redrew that one drawing I made like, I think 2 years ago, Originally Arthur wasn't supposed to be shirtless but I got so proud of that arm that I decided not to cover it up

here's a close up

I ALSO DID A TIMELAPSE(half-way through cuz its when I remembered)

and if for some reason you want to know I was listening to Kids Again by Artist vs Poet (its in my merthur playlist)
