Lancelot Didn't Die For This

Do you think I sit around doing nothing?! I haven't had a chance to sit around and do nothing since the day I arrived in Camelot! I'm too busy running around after Arthur! Do this, Merlin! Do that, Merlin! And when I'm not running around after Arthur, I'm doing chores for you! And if I'm not doing that, I'm fulfilling my destiny! Do you know how many times I've saved Arthur's life? I've lost count. Do I get any thanks? No. I have fought: Griffins, witches, bandits, I have been punched, poisoned, pelted with fruit, and all the while I have to hide who I really am, because if anyone finds out, Uther will have me executed! Sometimes I feel like I'm being pulled in so many directions, I don't know which way to turn!

We did it, folks! We finally managed to release the first episode of The Rising Sun!

For the uninitiated, TRSC is a D&D campaign themed around and taking place within the universe of BBC Merlin, featuring several recognizable characters and locations - as well as a few new ones!

The series is still in production, currently slated at 25 episodes long, but here's the first episode! Most of them will be around 20-30 minutes in length, but since it's our first episode the series debut is a one-hour special!

if one of the knights (other than lancelot) had to find out about merlin’s magic I’d obviously pick gwaine HOWEVER a hilarious choice would be percival or elyan. because, and i say this with love, they’re not usually involved in any drama or Situation(tm) so you would just see them Stressed the Fuck Out in the background

like elyan sees merlin use magic in a bandit attack and the rest of the episode keeps cutting to him fighting back a panic attack, breathing into the medieval equivalent of a paper bag

[sneakyboymerlin]

merthur is the rationalization that one day the love and respect Merlin gives Arthur will be reciprocated and Merlin just needs to hold out through all the mistreatment long enough to receive his reward for his acts of devotion.

merwaine is the realization that there was someone there all along who valued Merlin the way he needed it, and Merlin was simply unable to see that clearly because of how he learned to devalue himself over the years.

10: Immortal!Merlin once turned himself into a worm just to see if he would come back as two Merlins after being cut in half.

[sneakyboymerlin]

Merlin: Would you still love me if I was a worm?

Gwaine: I- I guess so?

Merlin: What about two worms

Gwaine:

Merlin:

Gwaine: What are you planning

nothing funnier than merthurs trying to fabricate some sort of hostility between merlin and gwen bc of their “jealousy” over arthur… and then the scenes they pick as evidence are scenes from the episode where merlin was possessed by morgana’s fomorroh and the episodes where gwen was enchanted by morgana. where their free will was literally taken from them. girl just admit you cannot pit them against each other

hands down the bbc merlin version of the sword in the stone legend is the funniest possible version of it. this big dramatic scene of arthur realising his true potential and finally believing in himself as a king as his remaining subjects watch in awe, witnessing a sign that their king is destined to carry camelot to greatness, because this legendary prophecy about removing the sword from the stone has finally come to pass,

and then merlin’s in the background whispering to gaius just ‘yeah i stuck that in there like last week and made the story up on the spot. gonna use magic to make it look like arthur’s actually doing something’ SIR PLEASE

I just think its not out of the question that Elyan petted a baby unicorn on his travels at least once (I changed the unicorn design you're welcome)
