bbc merlin writers trying so hard fighting for their life not to say the word soulmate because if they did the romantic subtext between merlin and arthur would stop being a subtext will always be soooo funny to me. they were constantly making the characters say shit like “he is my destiny” “i was born to be at arthur’s side” “merlin needs to be with arthur forever or camelot will burn down” “if you two are ever apart from each other arthur is going to explode into a million little pieces” like okay bro
