*playing twister*

morgana: okay, arthur, right hand red

arthur: *ends up on top of merlin*

merlin: wait— morgana, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?

morgana: i stopped spinning about 10 turns ago i'm surprised you didn't notice sooner

You ever just sit and think about how the same shows that deny anything romantic between two male characters are the same ones that also write other characters in the show pointing out how weirdly close and romantic the two are?

I do.

Uther: I'll make this little guy my himbo son's husband.

Gaius: you made him his manservant

Uther: same thing.

Look i love this fandom, but the fact that so many people still believe Merthur was queerbaiting makes me so mad. And the fact that these posts gets trending in the main tag is even worse.

People just don't seem to understand what "queerbait" means.

#merlin #merthur #bbc merlin #arthur pendragon #merthur was not queerbait #the writers and the actors knew #they never mocked the ship #they never mocked the fans #they welcomed it #at no point were we promised a queer love that wasn't fulfilled #they never said it was going to become canon #no jokes about it #no fanservice #the canon ship was Gwen x Arthur #Merthur was a whole seperate beautiful relationship #and shippers were happy because they saw an unforced and wonderful relationship between two men #merlin remained true to itself and its fanbase #btw the director's commentary literally goes over this #this is my second post about merthur queerbait nonsense sigh

Going over Merlin’s ‘resume’

Arthur: so it says right here that you’re creative Merlin: yes Arthur: okay… may I know what you create Merlin: problems

#this would’ve happened if uther didnt just push merlin into the job #lets be honest #no but in all seriousness #uther was the og merthur shipper #its magic that he hates #Not the gays #though he might have a tiny problem #with merlin being a servant and all that #and maybe also because hes a magical twink #just a thought #bbc merlin #poor merlin #merthur #merlin bbc #merlin memes #merlin #merlin emrys #arthur pendragon #merlin incorrect quotes #merlin x arthur

[merlinemrys]

honestly merlin is arthur's biggest wingman ever he literally let himself get thrown in the stocks for arthur just so he can go on a date 😭

#shows #bbc merlin #merlin s1 #1x07 #merthur #arthur #merlin #text #tais toi lys #lys lb: merlin #not to mention merlin being the BIGGEST fucking arwen shipper known to man. the way he treated mithian was so funny #<- this can also just be bc merlin’s a Number One Gwen Stan tho #*

Morgana would absolutely enjoy teasing Merlin and Arthur about their feelings 😎 Especially Arthur!

I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE

morgana and arthur are literally siblings so the teasing never ceases so like we KNOW she's going to be insufferable about it as soon as she finds out he likes merlin. i can see her calling out arthur's favoritism and the fact that he takes merlin literally everywhere and tells him everything. imagine merlin casually talking about something arthur told him (about himself? about his mom maybe?) thinking that it's common knowledge or that at least morgana, as his sister, knows this, then morgana just narrows her eyes like wtf arthur never told me that he never talks about this 🤨 so she never lets it go and keeps bugging arthur about it forever

AS FOR MERLIN the degree of teasing would vary depending on what kind of friendship they have like if they'd remained friends and he'd never poisoned her then i genuinely think she would've been helping him the whole time (ie; making sure he gets alone time with arthur and/or hinting to arthur that he likes him etc.)

buuuuut i feel like if we're talking later on in the show (maybe morgana gets a redemption arc and eventually goes back to living in the castle) there'd be a lot (and i mean a LOT) of tension and bad blood between her and merlin so she wouldn't talk to him about it directly but maybe in an argument or something she'd off-handedly mention to arthur that his stupid manservant is head over heels in love with him and she's sick of having to see it every day cause she hates him (and he's literally emrys, but like that's a minor thing)

SO YEAH SHE RELISHES TEASING THEM ABOUT THEIR FEELINGS AND LOVES SEEING THEIR FACES GO RED EVERY TIME SHE POINTS OUT THE OBVIOUS (maybe she and merlin have a little bad blood but that doesn't stop her from poking fun at him and arthur's ridiculous pining)

ps: keep the questions/discussions coming :))

#ONCE AGAIN: #morgana is merthur's biggest shipper #the sibling dynamic between arthur and morgana is such a fun one to explore #like yeah they've tried to kill each other but they're still of the same flesh and blood #i'll eat it up every time when they banter like actual siblings in fics #it's always so wholesome #bbc merlin #MORE MERLIN HCS #headcanon #morgana pendragon #morgana #merthur #merlin #arthur pendragon

[sneakyboymerlin]

The headcanon that Merlin hated Mordred is such a disservice to both of their characters

#m*rdr*d shippers DNI with this. please #merlin emrys #sir mordred #merlin and mordred #bbc merlin

the first TV show I ever watched on the computer was House. I was 14, and warily circling the notion that human males were interesting. I thought Chase was pretty cute. also Wilson. not anyone else though

fast forward 15 years. I just saw a post that happened to contain face shots of many of the major characters of House, and my brain said, "Taub."

me: "no, I remember him being uggo..."

brain: "well, he has the most attractive face in the slate, so that must be an unusually good picture of him. google him though"

me, blinking at all the photos of him: "oh wow, this guy is clearly extremely cute? what happened"

#the less mysterious answer is 'dating within the rationalist community' and the more mysterious answer is #'whatever happens in the straight female brain between the ages of 14 and 30' #the neurological chasm between a merlin slash shipper and a the terror slash shipper... #rambl

I finished my Merlin rewatch... I hadn't realised how they actually do make it clear that he had fulfilled his destiny, just Merlin's destiny wasn't to keep Arthur alive to see peace throughout Albion through, Merlin just forgot in his villain arc, as Gilli says in Season 3 he pretended for too long he forgot who he was, and that's so true, but he also no longer cared about fulfilling his destiny so long as Arthur was still alive, and it's heartbreaking. All he wanted was his friend to know him, and be with him, and be alive.

#bbc merlin #merlin #arthur #merthur #destiny #and for those who dont believe this was his villian story the evil music they played for morganas evil smirks for most of s3 is alos played #more than once for merlin most notably with mithian #but also before he does evil things to Mordred #and gaius has to raise his 'evil sensing' eyebrow half the time at merlins actions #he is the villain of season 5 thats for sure but only if you view it from an objective point of view #i spend most of my rewatches being a giant merthur shipper but i actually stepped out of the shipping context to understand how #insane merlin is being #anyways i have a lot of feelings right now
