Arthur, trying not to lose his mind: Guinevere, my love, light of my life, have you seen-
Gwen, too used to this: our husbands are on a date.
Arthur, accepting that Merlin and Lancelot are probably dealing with something magical in nature: Okay, at least he’s not at the tavern.
Arthur, realising what Gwen just said: I’m sorry, our what? And which one is my husband?
Gwen: *raises an eyebrow*
all the photos of him are like this, I love that this guy understood he had been born with the face of a wizard or axe murderer and just leaned fully into it
he knew EXACTLY what he was doing
he got what he wanted

“I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.”
Gwaine: if you were in Love with Merlin, how would you try to win his heart
Arthur: i would die
Gwaine: interesting choice. I would personally kill for him
Arthur: ...
Lancelot: hah, I would and have done both and I'd also keep his secrets for him
Merlin: I'm not sure whether to be flattered or concerned.
just... look at merlin's reaction to arthur's acceptance. it is a mixture of not only relief and devotion, but also fear of losing his beloved and realization of the end being near.
You know, I actually never saw anyone talking about why Merlin chose to reveal his magic at that exact instance. As audience, we know he will, because it's the last fucking episode and there is nothing left, but really, have we ever thought about just why then? The battle was won, he got Arthur out and was going to save him, he saw Mordred dead. Why reveal it now?
Because it wasn't enough.
Merlin did everything in his hands and still couldn’t prevent fate— couldn’t stop the vision that haunted him from happening. I thought I’d defied the prophecy, but he didn’t. I thought I was in time, but he wasn’t. So if he took all measures to prevent that misery and yet it still happened, might as well discard everything he’d been taught and finally, finally tell Arthur.
Because let’s be real; Merlin did not reveal his magic just from the desperation of seeking Arthur's acceptance.. it was also a detachment from the overbearing fear that consumed him. That did not allow him to breathe. He saw a lifetime of hiding from the one man he did it all for and said enough. No more listening to Kilgharrah and Gaius; no more running away from the one thing that he truly needed; no more hiding from his own self and from Arthur.
He gave up pleasing destiny, and for once, he chose them.
I saw a post a while ago that joked about how fanfic writers love to give characters non-specific paperwork when they need the characters to be bored or tired from a long day. They speculated it’s because a lot of fanfic writers are either very young, or typically not very familiar with the jobs they’re writing about. And now that I’m back into reading merlin fanfiction I’m obsessed with how the equivalence of this for Arthur is shit to do with wheat and grain. Merlin wants to know where Arthur is? Oh he’s probably in a boring council meeting about wheat yields. Why has Arthur had a long day? Well he was spending all day surveying the grain storage for the upcoming winter. Arthur’s been arguing with other nobles? Probably because they all want more of the grain grown on their own land. This man is micro managing every single stalk grown in the kingdom of camelot no wonder he never noticed merlin’s magic

incorrect merlin quotes #13
Gwen: Would you slap your best friend for a thousand bucks?
Merlin: I would slap Arthur for free
Arthur, tearing up: I'm your best friend??
Arthur: to discuss the legalisation of magic I have invited every powerful sorcerer that I know of to a meeting
Arthur: Merlin, send invitations to Dragoon, the Dolma, Emrys and, if you can track him down, the last dragonlord
Edit: for everyone asking for a fic, the lovely @myfairkatiecat wrote one, just look in the replies or reblogs or go to their blog
average merlin episode
Regular writers: The two main characters can't be both idiots one of them has to be smart
Merlin:
Arthur: Okay, so you're my servant now. It's not really that important of a position, just like, idk, make sure you bring me my breakfast on time
Merlin: I would die for you, I would kill for you, I'd give up my humanity and become a living weapon for you, I would sit by your grave for over a millennium, awaiting your return-
Arthur: but would you bring me breakfast on time?
Merlin: Well that's asking a bit much, don't you think?
