Half of being in the merlin fandom is getting to enjoy the silly little characters do funny things and the other half is just breaking your heart

Current, nay eternal mood: Arthurs soft look at Merlin when he tells him I was born to serve you and I'm proud of that and the fact Arthurs face softens even more when Merlin looks away I-

LOOK I MIGHT NOT BE A MERLIN BLOG ANYMORE BUT BY GOD I FUCKING LOVE THEM
YOU CAN NEVER LEAVE THEM BEHIND.
Even my sister who seems to have very much gotten over the show, gets all emotional over it when she sees me rewatching. It's like they have us all in a fucking chokehold

I've seen the 'Poet, King and Solider' test been going around on tiktok lately and I have so much to say about it.
If Arthur were to take the test he would outwardly say that he'd obviously be king, or if not, then Solider. But deep down, he wants to get poet, he wants the freedom and the creativity. It's bloody canonical that he wants to run away from his duties sometimes.
I have so many headcannons that Arthur, if given the chance, would have so many little and fun hobbies to indulge in, he would paint and draw, learn how to play the lute or lyre, have a passion of bird keeping, or write ridiculously soppy poetry.
Deep down he just wants to be free from the burdens of responsibility that he's been forced to have since a child. He wants to read the fairy tales he was never allowed to read as a kid. He wants to play hide and seek. Get caught doing silly things. Make mistakes.
But he couldn't, not as heir to the throne, not as Uther's son. Arthur was dealt with one of the worst hands in the entire series. If there wasn't the war against magic, if his father had never been a selfish prick, Arthur would have truly flourished and been a better person all around. But no, he was forced to grow up too young, see and understand death from the beginning, bear the responsibility of a kingdom he never asked for.
Arthur would get king and dream of being a poet.

"Little Talks" by Of Monsters and Men keeps popping up in my lists and it's not like I don't like the song, but it's the ONLY Of Monsters and Men song it will pull up on its own and it won't even pull up their other stuff when I look under where it shows me stuff related to that song. I like Of Monsters and Men, and I like that song, but c'mon.
It's probably just trying to protect my Merthur-shipping heart from "King and Lionheart" though, because that song does kind of fuck me up and that is a song I will listen to on repeat. So, I guess I can't blame it too much.

is there a bbc merlin fic that involves Merlin feeling bad for how he treated Mordred & realizing he maybe shouldn’t have listened to Kilgharrah so much?
& maybe that makes him question all the prophecy stuff. like-- is Arthur even coming back??
but Arthur does come back & then it’s a super fluffy Merthur story cuz I need that in my life :P
but amidst the fluff Arthur & Merlin unpack all the ways they hurt others & each other. & all the heroic stuff too of course! (but I feel like fics always get into all the good stuff Merlin did for Arthur, & maybe don’t delve into the darker stuff as much.)
give me some fluffy darkness!

Do you ever read a fic & then some random side characters that pop up again & again throughout the whole story do something together in the background while the main character is occupied with their own thoughts & just brushes over them like a fleeting, unimportant observation? And you’re like these two, I wanna ship these two. And then you keep your eyes open for more background interaction like those as a secondary goal besides reading & enjoying the fic (that’s when a fanfic really starts to live at least to me).
Though I’m all insecure & paranoid now bc the author surely didn’t mean to paint these two in a romantic light & just needed that side interaction as a description filler & im reading too much into this, but like…I ship it. Oops. How did that happen
Link is here: https://archiveofourown.org/series/1830772 (it’s actually Part 2 of a longer 5-Parter-Series & Part 1 was already awesome but it keeps. getting. better.)
