arthur please for how hot is that character!
First of all, big sorry to the two anons whose asks were*eaten* because apparently, my drafts can’t handle the hotness of ArthurPendragon 🔥🔥🔥
So, here goes my third attempt at this impossible taskbecause, seriously, how do you even quantify pure sunshine on the hotnessscale? IT IS IMPOSSIBLE!! 😭😭😭
| Not My Type | Alright | Cute | Adorable | Pretty | Gorgeous | LORD MERCY |
|☀️🔥☀️ HE IS THE SUN☀️🔥☀️|
The funny thing about Arthur Pendragon is that I’ve been aware ofthis show since the beginning, it was always somewhere in the background of myother fandom activity, people were going into meltdowns over him, and Iremember seeing stills and promo pics and going… “Eh.” All I saw was some genericpretty boy with blond hair and blue eyes that didn’t even look that great fromsome angles, so I was not particularly inspired to pick up the show with anygreat haste.
*Yes, my stupidity was infinite and I will be atoning for it for along time to come, now that I too am finally in the Merlin hell!*
The point is, even though I was vaguely aware of this show foryears before I actually sat down to watch it, nothing, and I mean *nothing*prepared me for Bradley James in character. He had me in the first scene, the manliterally shines, like, he has an actual halo and everything! Plus, hisvoice, and the way he moves and emotes, I was gone for him the minute I first saw himin motion!
I couldn’t find any good images of him from that first scene,everything is such low resolution and they do not do him justice, but here aresome others where his sunshine personified:
But like I said before, he is the most beautiful for me in motion,preferably when riding horses:
Of course, Bradley James is, beyond a doubt a spectacularlybeautiful man, but I think that the appeal of Arthur Pendragon is not so muchhow he looks, but that he’s so damn lovable,even when he’s at his worst, and that takes some serious skill and charisma topull off. He is such a pretty little evil, some of my favourite Arthur scenesare when he is positively glowing with this cheerful malice, like in that firstscene, because his face takes on this almost angelic quality. These are myfavourites, but of course, the show is full of them:
He is, in his own words, the“full package”, probably not in the same way that he meant, but thecharacter of Arthur is so layered and so multifaceted! I mean, this man:
He’s so ridiculous and regal at the same time! I feel that Bradleydoes not get enough credit for how versatile he is, we all focus on Colin (anddon’t get me wrong, Colin is out-of-this-world-perfect), but this is the sameman, in the very same scene:
There are times he’s so vulnerable, it hurts:
And others where we see him come through as a veritable killing machineand remember why he is remembered as the greatest warrior in Britain (Merlinhelped out a lot, but still):
Then there are scenes where he’s all contemplative and almostwise:
Of course, he is also cute:
I mean, even in his final hours, he looked like this:
HE HAD NO BUSINESS LOOKING THIS PRETTY MINUTES AWAY FROM DYING, I MEAN BRADLEY, W.T.F 😭😭😭
But let’s not forget LORD MERCY, beause lbr, that is his natural state! Seriously, thank you Bradley and whoever greenlit all thefanservice in this chaste and wholesome ~family show~, because your audience very much appreciated all your slutty, sluttyshirts:
Thank you, sir, for not shaving your chest and giving us the many shirtless moments, they were truly appreciated for the masterpieces they were:
Anyway, I’m going to stop my out-of-control fangirling now because it’s just not possible to express this man’s hotness in stills and promo pics! Nothing but putting all his scenes from the entire damn show on some kind of loop could possibly do him justice, and Tumblr already thinks I’m ridiculous and has eaten two whole attempts at making this post. Arthur Pendragon is simply too hot to handle!!
