That Merthur Bitch

Robin • 23 • they/them New blog because @purefangirl was supposed to be multifandom and not just Merlin 😅

Did Arthur ever stop to wonder how incompetent their guards must be to get knocked out by Merlin?

Found this gem in the comments of a short.

Watching BBC Merlin genuinely feels like you’re constantly out of gems

vigilante morgana finding freya and saving her and bonding under her alias as a vigilante and slowly falling in love but morgana can’t bring herself to reveal her identity because what would freya think of her if she knew she was uther’s ward? the same man hunting for freya right now? she’d never look at morgana the same…

how often do you remember that arthur canonically gave merlin his mother's sigil

because i often

like every day

there's no season 5, it was proposal, they got married at the end of s4 and lived happily ever after. i don't care

[egotisticalreadergay]

uther pendragon sucks ass obviously but he’s such a hysterical fucking character. he hates magic so obviously his daughter is a seer and his son’s weird little guy he’s obsessed with is the literal walking manifastation of magic itself. he gets tricked into marrying and fucking a literal troll. his son and aforementioned weird little guy keep trying to sacrifice themselves for each other and being so fucking gay right in front of him no matter how much he tries to stop them and at some point he’s just like yeah fine what fucking ever just dont fucking die i guess. his daughter hates his guts and keeps telling him to die and she’s somehow still his favorite. he fucked a troll. his son gets enchanted into falling in love with a new girl every other week and it never works because he’s so damn gay. his daughter is definitely in love with the daughter of a guy he killed but whatever. a weird little thing posesses his doctor and he makes him bald. he dies and comes back as a ghost to haunt his son and he only finally sends him back after he tries to attack the same fucking weird little guy who really is the bane of his existence. he fucked a troll.

imagine being gaius and watching the future ruler of the kingdom strut into your chambers and pull his servant’s pigtails until he gives him attention. camelot is in the hands of a twelve-year-old boy with a crush and he has to bear witness to it every hour on the hour

pause tma brainrot for 20 minutes unpause merlin brainrot pause merlin brainrot unpause tma brainrot

[koffeinkaos]

After one of Merlin's casual off-hand declarations of devotion Arthur heads to Morgana's chambers, let's himself fall dramatically on the bed, sighing like a teenage girl in a 2000s movie before telling her all about it. What Merlin said, how stunning he looked while he said it, that Arthur wanted to kiss him right there and why he couldn't (his duty to Camelot but mainly the fear of forcing Merlin into something)

And while he gushes about his manservant, ignoring the stupid gestures of his sister that look like she wants him to shut up, said manservant was hiding behind the screen in Morgana's room, because Arthur just interrupted their magic lesson.

Merlin aesthetic: a study in contrast

[hellisapoolprty]

Love fics where Gwen and Arthur think lance and Merlin are courting, and Merlin and lance think Gwen and Arthur are courting. Also Gwen may be ooc but I think she deserves a little crash out ❤️

[theroundbartable]

No... She would do that, if BBC hadn't been cowards :D

[g1ngerbeer]

nice pair of characters who trust each other more than anyone else in the whole entire world it would sure be a shame if one of them betrayed that trust for the sake of trying to keep the other alive. it would sure be a shame to love someone so much you destroy them

[g1ngerbeer]

“i need you to live even if it means you never forgive me for this” is an emotion

Day 1

Dear Hunith,

your son has safely reached Camelot, which I think is most unfortunate. I am plagued with questions over your reasoning for sending him here. He's betrayed his secret with me five seconds through the door of my apartments; had there been a patient there, I would be writing you for arrangements for his remains. He also seems, from bits of our conversation, unaware of his father's identity but that seems too odd to be true to me, considering you of all people should know very well what sleeps underneath the castle.

I shall try to keep his as safe as possible, but please, call him back home. My heart could hardly take much more of this,

Gaius

Day 2

Dear Hunith,

Your menace of a son is in jail.

[agapantoblu]

Day 3

Dear Hunith,

I just managed to get your idiot son out of jail and he went and got himself arrested again. It is not my intention to cast aspersions over your sense of responsibility and your competence as a mother, but did you perchance drop him on his head as a child?

Day 4

Dear Hunith,

Perhaps even utter fools can offer the occasional bout of competence. Your son has saved the Prince's life, which is certainly all well and good. Unfortunately, the king has thus decided to admit him into the Royal Household. Your son, the son of your paramour, now belongs to the Pendragon house. The irony of fate isn't lost on me, though it certainly has terrible effects on my poor heart and sleep.

Would it be terribly presumptuous of me to ask you to fake illness to recall him home for good?

[dollopole]

Love how Arthur’s interactions with women happen either because:

1) he is enchanted;

2) he can’t help but have them because of outer forces (Morgana and consequently Gwen);

3) he needs it to unite two kingdoms, and because it’s what expected of him.

Meaning:

Arthur Pendragon is gay—

maybe I'm dumb that it took me this long to realize but when Arthur tells Gwen he has a dream to run away and be a farmer his only frame of reference for how farmers actually live is that one time that he was in Ealdor with Merlin sleeping on his cold floor and eating porridge and he hated it, my god, did he hate it but he was also with Merlin and it's the only time he didn't have to be Prince Arthur he could just be Arthur and he remembered that feeling of being just Arthur and Merlin and he coveted it so deeply that it became his dream?????

My other Merlin art

[purplepri]

I actually have such a thing for Merlin calling Arthur "his king" even before he's crowned

At first Arthur thinks it's ironic, then he warns Merlin that's treason, then he ignores it for the longest time, and finally he starts to accept it

Uther was never Merlin's king, and Merlin lies and stabs backs and kills in the name of Arthur, but that small piece of truth, shared mainly in the royal prince's private quarters, is too big to not be out in the open
