immortal merlin headcannons because im bored
Merlin keeps “accidentally” enrolling in the same universities every few centuries because he forgets he already has five degrees in the same subject. Every time he just goes, “this looks familiar…” and assumes it’s déjà vu.
He gets really invested in modern online arguments and then logs off for 200 years out of embarrassment like, “I said WHAT on the internet in 2013??” and refuses to check history.
Every time someone discovers a “new” scientific breakthrough, Merlin has to physically stop himself from saying, “oh we called that witchcraft, anyway—”
He refers to London as “the new capital” and refuses to elaborate when people ask “new compared to what?”
Merlin has a recurring problem where he forgets he can’t just casually heal paper cuts in public anymore.
He owns at least 47 coats because every era convinces him “this is the style now” and he refuses to accept he can just reuse clothes.
He has to constantly delete and remake his email because he forgets passwords every 30–50 years and just starts over like it’s a brand new life.
He is the reason for at least 75% of urban myths.
