"He is half of my soul as the poets say"

Merlin, 3.01- The Tears of Uther Pendragon (Part 1).

also sometimes i remember that “just hold me, please” is an actual canon line said by the most emotionally stunted man on the planet. like i forget it’s not from a fanfic or something. he actually said that. that was arthur pendragon’s dying wish. get fucked, bbc merlin writers. and thank you.

It's never not funny to me that Leon, the most by the books Knight in all of Camelot, hears Merlin say "I need a crossbow to kill the king right now." And his first thought is "Damn Merlin is being funny as hell today" and hands him the best crossbow in the armory.

Kinda feels like sadness is the open space in a snowy field, and those cobalt blue eyes come from a silent Avalon. Bards are everywhere singing about blue eyes and golden hair, the rivers are wide, and the stars never fade.

Gwen is the most kind, loyal person you would ever meet and she has been more than a friend to all of us.

If you think about it, Morgana holding Gwen prisoner in the dark tower is insane for more than just yuri reasons because a large portion of her scheme depended on the idea that Gwen's husband would be the one dying to save her, but it was actually her brother who charged in first. This moment was about Gwen and Elyan, but it can also be about Morgana and Arthur, since it shows very clearly that Morgana simply doesn't recognize the power of a brother's love. To Morgana, Arthur's identity as Uther's son is far more important than his role as her brother. She cannot accept that his affection for her was ever genuine, and yet it's proved time and time again that Arthur wants to be the one catching her when she falls.

Morgana's efforts to destroy him all come down to a fundamental misunderstanding of how he feels about her. In this case, she fails to kill Arthur because she forgets that a brother will be the first to die for his sister. Even though Arthur's love for Morgana was never enough to redeem her, Elyan's love for Gwen was still able to foil her schemes.
