I think the reason I like Percival so much despite him having very little canon back story and not a lot of lines is him being this giant intimidating muscely man that can and will snap a bitch in half like a twig, but he's also incredibly soft and gentle and caring to those he wishes to protect. The second I saw him carrying three small children at once to safety so they wouldn't be scared or in further danger from the Dorocha, I was sold. I just really love physically intimidating characters that are actually cuddly teddy bears, and that's what Percival is.

#his smile too is the most precious thing #sir percival #bbc percival #percival #i am going to sob over his scenes with gwaine in diamond of the day when i get that far #bbc merlin #merlin #as much as i dislike lamia as a whole #it has the wonderful percival moments of him stapping a mans back with his shoulders #and him being a gentle and calming presence to lamia soothing her panic when she wakes up #im also reminded of him talking down Elyan very calmly when he was possessed by the ghost boy #though he then knocked Elyan out with a very startling and brutal punch to the head #so hes a teddy bear with claws
