Arthur’s Love Confession

The word choice for Arthur’s confession is really… interesting. As many people have pointed out, if you remove the pronouns from the conversation, everything Arthur says can be true for Merlin as much as Gwen.

Here’s the thing: I’m a writer. I’ve said this before, and I’ll keep saying it when it comes to posts like this.

If I was writing a love confession from one of my characters, I wouldn’t have what they say be so vague that it would be unclear who they were referring to when taken out of context.

If you showed this conversation to someone who had no idea who these characters were other than a knight and a servant, it would be completely believable that the knight is talking about the servant he’s with.

Hell, Merlin’s reaction to Arthur being unable to say he’s in love and how certain he is that nothing could happen seems a bit strong considering the conversation is about Gwen, not him. He’s her friend and would understandably try to convince Arthur that they could be together, but the dialogue does it in such a round about, vague way before they get to the point. There’s no reason for them to be vague. They both know full well who they’re talking about.

I suppose I have to say this is an opinion of the writing because I can’t claim that the writers did anything with underlying intentions. It’s just seems strange to me how perfectly the description aligns. Even the lines not here could easily have the pronouns swapped and still make sense.

“How can I admit that I think about her (him/you) all the time? Or that I care about her (him/you) more than anyone? How can I admit that I don’t know what I’ll do if any harm comes to her (him/you)?”

It still works. We can’t prove that Arthur thinks about Merlin all the time, but there’s a damn huge amount of evidence that he cares for him deeply and can’t handle him being hurt. Anyone wanting to argue with me on this, go watch The Poisoned Chalice again, which is the FOURTH EPISODE by the way.

Other than that iconic episode, there’s plenty of other things. He doesn’t let Merlin drink the “poison” during the test at the labyrinth. He denies any accusations of him having magic whenever they come up, which is because he genuinely doesn’t believe he has any, but it also has to do with the fact that he would be executed. He always protects him in dangerous situations and tells him to run when things get too dicey. We all know how he acted when Merlin was believed to be dead.

Like I said, it’s weird how well the lines match up. And Arthur looks at him like this before the conversation:

And like this after this conversation:

Maybe I’ve just never had a “true bestie” because I have never looked at someone or had someone look at me like that. Arthur looks so flirtatious in that second gif man.

But anyway! That’s just some thoughts I was having about the love confession!

[Fool]'s Favour

Also known as: Our star-crossed lovers, Lancelot and Guinevere

The deal is, I really don't think Lancelot is a fool. But when I read the prompt, Lord Huron's lyrics ran through my head:

"I'm dangerous cause I'm a fool for love"

And I think of them

For @mortiscausa‘s March to Camelot

I remembered when Lancelot asked the widowed Guinevere to marry him and she said no and they both spent the rest of their lives doing penance and never saw each other alive again and now I'm crying

Favorite Merthur Things

The way Arthur uses Merlin’s name at every chance he gets.

Bonus: here’s my favorite time he says it

Arthur says Merlin’s name a lot, but this has to be my favorite moment because of just how he yells it & how the “-lin” part of his name is held longer than usual 😂

Mythology: Sir Lancelot du Lac

Sir Lancelot increased in fame and worship above all men, for he overthrew all comers, and never was unhorsed or worsted, save by treason and enchantment.

She’s Guinevere, they’re just Ken.

Guinevere redo! Her hair was so difficult, so that’s why it looks a little funky. I may not like her, but I will at least give her the dignity of being the star of her own portrait. The hands belong to Arthur and Lancelot (obviously).

I had a thought, dear, however scary, about that night, the bugs and the dirt

why were you digging, what did you bury, before those hands pulled me from the earth?

i will not ask you where you came from, i will not ask you and neither should you

honey just put your sweet lips on my lips, we should just kiss like real people do

i knew that look dear, eyes always seeking, was there in someone that dug long ago, so i will not ask you why you were creeping

in some sad way i already know

Lancelot - Like Real People Do
