☕️ (Mercelot), ✍️ (Merlin) and 👀 -- if i'm allowed to do 3. If not you can just give me the Tea™ 🤩
thank you so much for sending me these🥺 i accidentally typed way more than i expected lmfao
☕️ + send me a ship/character/movie/book and ill give you my opinions on it
not me looking up who mercelot entailed 😂 but, okay, real tea™️ here: i love their friendship—like, i love it with my entire being. i write them as bffls in probably every one of my fics because their dynamic (in the small amount we saw them together) was honestly one of my favorite things that we witnessed in this show.
there was something so beautiful about lance knowing about the magic. lancelot saw merlin entirely, and merlin needed that with someone. he deserved to have someone look at him with such awe and devotion and pride—to be told that he was the bravest of them all. and lance did that...and he did it so fucking brilliantly.
i think that’s why i constantly have lance alive in my fics because when he died, i was so fucking devastated. not just because he did die, even though that was horrendous, but because he “willingly” left merlin. i know lance did it because he is so incredibly noble and becuase of that entire conversation: “I look at you and I wonder about myself. Could I knowingly give up my life for something?” “You have to have a reason. Something you care about. Something that's more important than anything.” AND THEN THE MF SACRIFICES HIMSELF IMPLYING THAT MERLIN IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYTHING. god, im sad all over agin...but, back on topic, at the end of the day, lance left merlin alone to shoulder his burdens (merlin was set to die, but then lance leaves and i can’t imagine how fucking alone merlin must have felt when lance was gone).
lance was someone truly unique for merlin, someone who helped him feel less like a monster and more like the tragic hero he was...but he still left him. and with the way that seasons 4/5 just continued to get worse for merlin, lance dying was like a bad omen (it was like their version of saying macbeth during a play). SO thats why i keep him alive! because lancelot, i believe, at least, was one of the best people to come into merlin’s life and our boy deserved that.
so oops i may have taken this question a little too seriously? i feel deeply about them😔 but, if you were asking if i ship them? the answer will be a nah from me lmfao
