For the greater good🐍

I love Merlin, but what would I think of him if all those atrocieties happened in real life?

If you aren't fighting injustice, you are complicit.

"I asked chatgpt" oh ok, well i asked will graham and he suddenly closed his eyes and stood infront of me for half an hour then said it's his design

[thedeathofthelamb]

actually, Will is just as (if not more) obsessed and possessive about Hannibal but you guys portray him as the 'weewee pls save me from hannibal's insane love' but honestly Hannibal should be saved from Will cause damn my man be psycho

[patchouii]

It’s strongly implied that Will infostalked Hannibal and the people he heard about from him, he snapped at Hannibal so jealously when he asked if he was drinking with a patient. Hannibal told him it was his own psychiatrist and nothing more, but he somehow recognized Bedelia’s name, face and the fact she was that psychiatrist when they first met. He openly admitted that he figured out who Margot was too by looking through Hannibal’s private notes. Margot and Bedelia were both beautiful, intelligent high-class women who had weaknesses Hannibal could’ve exploited and Will could’ve seen them as potential rivals, which is honestly pretty chilling, not to mention how intimidating he was towards Alana when he hinted at knowing she avoided being alone with him and in deleted scenes where he told her he could plausibly kill her and nobody would stop him in time. His intentional visualizations featuring Hannibal always involved him brutally defeating or restraining him and physically harming or even killing him while they both visibly enjoyed it.

The first thing he did after getting out of jail was break into Hannibal’s house—implying he somehow knows how to break and enter well, and it was only Hannibal’s enhanced sense of smell that betrayed him— and hold him at gunpoint again while mocking him and grinning when he mimed cowering, even though Hannibal could’ve definitely used that to fully crush his career after all or land him right back there by telling Jack. He snaps at Zeller during the organ harvester case about the corpse in the bathtub being too crude to be the Chesapeake Ripper’s work, calling the Ripper an “artist” and often complimenting him before quickly pairing that with more negative sentiments. He worked the Ripper case pre-canon and the way he describes his mind when asked isn’t even just the Ripper— it’s a description of Hannibal’s, down to those rooms in the basement of his mind palace he keeps boarded up. The staggering depth of that insight makes me think that his excuse of “having a date with the Chesapeake Ripper” may have had more than awkward humor behind it after all, he’s clearly put a ton of dedication and effort into diving into the Ripper’s case and mindset before. He tells Bedelia her fate is sealed because he’ll free Hannibal and knows that he’ll do whatever he tells him to, kill whoever he tells him to even if it’s someone he previously saw mental and physical appeal in who was his second choice for an escape partner.

Bedelia doubts this, calling him reckless and egotistical and saying he’ll get killed alongside the rest, but there’s clearly a niggling worry that he’s right despite her knowledge of Hannibal and his fixation on supreme control that only Will supersedes. Will enjoys hurting Hannibal and is aroused by ideas of it, possessing him, being important to him, being the only one he will show mercy to, the only one he’s challenged by, the only one who throws the intense control he has over his life into disarray, bucks it and steps in to replace it. In the end it really only comes down to the question of which person is the one anyone would say seems crazier: a murderous cannibal, or someone who knew everything about the murder and cannibalism and threw their life away to own theirs not despite that, but because of it? The answer seems clear to me, at least.

Will Graham is the man who gets off on the fact that he has the Devil wound around his little finger and can crush him under his thumb whenever he so pleases.

Rip Arthur pendragon you would have loved asking Merlin why he turned his location off

“you cannot ship these two fictional characters because—” actually I can because they are not real people. they are just toys I play with. you cannot apply real-world morality to fiction or how strangers play with their imaginary toys in their imaginary sandboxes.

you can, however, curate your own internet experience by minding your own business, muting/blocking/scrolling past what upsets you but does not hurt anyone in real life in any way, shape or form.

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

“ship whatever you want except xyz. there is a limit” so you miss the entire point of what I just said 👌🏻

there is, in fact, no limit. I may be uncomfortable with it, I may even find it unpleasant/disturbing, but my personal feelings are not rules that can be applied to other people, and they absolutely do not justify shaming or harassing other people.

I'm rewatching BBC Merlin after 84 years and god, I actually forgot how much they just loved eachother. Like, it was not fun and games it was real. They Loved eachother. For real. From the very beginning. It was visceral and deep and violent and as easy as breathing for them. There's something about you Merlin, I can't quite put my finger on it. He may be an idiot but he's a brave one. Is it my imagination or are you beginning to enjoy yourself? The half cannot truly hate what makes it whole. I want you to swear to me that what you're telling me is true - I believe you. You can trust me. If I don't get the antidote, what happens to him? I can save him. Please Father. He saved my life. I can't stand by and watch him die. You can't stop me. Leave them Arthur, go, save yourself. Follow the light. Just make sure the antidote gets to him, I'm begging you. Someone knew I was in trouble and sent a light to guide the way. Arthur, thank you. I'm going to be sick actually what the fuck.

AU where, before Arthur, Morgana had Guinevere first. That is, until Uther got in the way.

Merlin saying "I'm happy to be your servant, until the day I die" kills me because what do you mean he's immortal??

What do you mean Merlin will never die but the object of his devotion did??

What do you mean Merlin is still waiting for the moment he can stand next to his King??

Someone play "Would you fall in love with me Again" and leave me to weep

They make me sick

Why make fanart about a 14-year-old series (since its sad and bitter conclusion)?

Because I felt like it.

No, seriously, BBC's Merlin was one of my favorite shows as a teenager and one of the first where I heavily shipped the main characters (maybe even one of my first gay ships… I was 13, understand me! Merthur always in my heart… and I think I had a mini-crush on Morgana… although I realized it sooooo much later…)

Anyway, as a professional shipper and a fan fiction lover, I'll offer you a couple of advice for some of the Merlin fan fiction on AO3 that I enjoyed the most!

A Merlin and an Arthur collage for the square - Art form: Black and White @merlinbingo

Fun fact, Arthur's collage has daisies, which symbolizes innocence, loyal love, and "I'll never tell". Merlin's has snapdragons, symbolizing deceit, but also graciousness. I found these meanings on this site right here, and I just thought it's so very Merlin and Arthur, not just as individuals, but also to each other.
