this was one of arthur’s better attempts. The day before he tried throwing the bouquet from the second floor

Also, if anyone has suggestions for what I could draw, I’m all ears! (Not saying I’ll draw everything for sure, but it might be fun)

Trying to forbid Merlin from casting certain spells turned out to be absolutely useless. The man would be perfectly happy to throw hands, be it with bandits or arrogant nobles (his self restraint was proven nonexistent the moment he tried to punch the actual prince of Camelot upon meeting him)

the great thing about medieval literature is that it returns us to a time when men were men and women were women, *insert gritty realism gif here*, featuring such important and eternal gendered characteristics such as

(M) Why Would I Learn To Think Critically When I Could Find a Random Damsel In The Woods To Tell Me What To Do

(F) Demands To Be Brought The Heads Of Her Enemies

(M, to F) Be Mean To Me, No, Meaner Than That

(F) Meticulous Maintenance Of Social Connections And Alliances Via Writing Letters

(M) Crying

(M) More Crying

(M) Even More Crying, While Being Held Tenderly By Brother In Arms

(F) Necromancy

every day gwaine goes and invites merlin to come watch him train like a quarterback asking his main cheerleader girlfriend in an early 2000s romcom to come see his game (merlin literally has to be there) (it's his job) (gwaine knows this) (he does it anyway)

[akelafang]

Arthur sends Merlin on some job and wants him to take a knightly escort to keep him out of trouble. Merlin: I'll take Gwaine with me Arthur: I said "keep you out of trouble" not "guarantee you'll get into it". Take Lancelot with you, he's the least likely to commit treason with you Merlin: You say that like he's never committed treason with me

arthur doesn’t notice merlin’s magic bc of the gay thing. arthur realizes he’s having Thoughts about merlin and decides the best course of action is to Repress and Ignore. the color of merlin’s eyes? why would arthur stare at merlin’s eyes? he’s not getting lost in them. arthur hasn’t ever looked at merlin, actually.

I love the headcanon that Merlin is scrawny and gawky when he first arrives in Camelot because he was underfed and used magic to cheat at his chores. However, I would love an au where Merlin shows up to Camelot wiry and farm-boy strong, and Arthur’s nose immediately starts bleeding.
