#merlin s2

[merlinemrys]

the narrative is SO mean to merlin in s2 especially. arthur took a possessed cedric as a servant, druids died when merlin sent morgana to them, gaius gets imprisoned and interrogated by aredian bc merlin wanted to do a little fun bit of magic, he falls in love with freya and she dies, he has to lie to arthur so he won't kill his tyrant dad, he has to poison morgana so that camelot won't die, and then merlin has to set kilgarrah free and then he wrecks havoc on camelot... it is unbearable how much the narrative MAKES merlin hide his magic even further

“Well I think Kilgarrah’s a dick,” Wenna puts in, dangling her legs from where she’s sitting in the windowsill in Gaius’ chambers. Gaius looks up at her, tiredly, though her brother looks significantly more conflicted. “I mean, he’s got a justifiable grudge against Uther, and I see no reason why he wouldn’t manipulate your trust in him to further that grudge.”

“But Morgana-“

“Morgana deserves to know the truth.”

HOW DID ARTHUR NOT NOTICE MERLIN DID MAGIC

[lesbicosmos]

first watch: ew, pompous egotist

second watch, after you know his mother died in childbirth and he thinks it was his fault:

Merlin & Arthur | Happier

I'm trying this out again, starting with uploading this old Merlin and Arthur project set to the beautiful song. This video captures the ups and downs of their incredible friendship and all those heartfelt moments that made us fall in love with their story. 💖✨

Oh, ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you

But ain't nobody need you like I do

I know that there's others that deserve you

But my darlin', I am still in love with you

@swans-chirping-in-the-distance @gay-for-zoya, here's an update for you, if you're curious.

I'm a few episodes into season 2 of Merlin and I need to rant about the ships.

I have a very loose knowledge about the mythology surrounding Arthur and Camelot, but one thing I do know was that Guinevere left Arthur for Lancelot. This kind of seems to be happening now (I just watched the episode where Gwen gets kidnapped). Honestly, I think I ship Gwen with Lancelot a bit more. But I did ship her with Merlin in the first season because of their similar personalities but I think a friendship between them is totally fine. I thought Arthur might have liked Morgana in the first season, which felt a little odd to me because Uther, Arthur's father, is her adopted father, so I saw their relationship as siblings, especially since they tease and bicker like siblings all the time. Then Arthur has feelings for Gwen this season, which honestly felt very sudden to me but I was okay with it. Then Lancelot returned when Gwen was kidnapped and I'm a bit torn.

What this all boils down to is that ships have been teased in all different directions, it's slightly confusing me, and I think I just need to sit back and see what happens. Hopefully I don't get too into a ship and get my heart broken down the road.

people annoyed that merlin would promise to run away with freya and leave everyone behind missing the context of that episode being set right after ‘the sins of the father’, where arthur literally thanked merlin for reminding him that magic was pure evil

i finished merlin season 2 and man seriously

you had to kill merlin's dad like 20 minutes after he met him? messed up (i was crying) even though it was needed for plot development.

i also agreed with his dad uther should die like as soon as possible because i can't deal with this old raisin anymore.

also like this thing between merlin and arthur can't be denied. like they're saving each other abd helping each other with their wounds (i was dying when arthur ripped off a piece of his shirt when merlin got scratched) and it is undeniably true (although they keep trying to get arthur with gwen which i don't know how to feel about)

anyway bye dragon (can't remember how to spell his name) thanks for being the most vague magical creature to ever live
