I THOUGHT THEY WERE TOGETHER?!!??? because I thought, “oh, servant x boss/employer trope COUNT ME IN!!!” and then I found out halfway thru the show that they’re just “friends” AND I SAID “well that can’t be true, I thought they would be together that’s the reason I watched the show?!??” I mean, eventually they would be together right? THEY SHOULD BE TOGETHER!!

There is just something about Arthur’s voice…the “emergency-ness” at Arthur’s voice, like he needs Merlin at by his side AT ALL TIMES. like he cannot breathe when Merlin’s not by his side?? and the lingering eyes?!? the heart eyes they give to each other??!! and also the fact that THEY ARE DESTINED WITH EACHOTHER, to eachother?! TELL ME THAT’S ALL PLATONIC?!??

Merlin & Text Posts (1/?)

I would so watch a series that's just merlin and gaius going about their lives. arthur is there, but it ain't about him. he makes an appeareance now and then as the comic relief guy. the series is part procedural/part sit-com. merlin and gaius investigate to solve the magical mystery of the week. gwen is merlin's best buddy and occasional helper, but he still has to keep his magic a secret around her (she finds out at some point, of course). gaius's errands in the lower town set up the episode's subplot. he has a friend who keeps getting her chickens stolen or something. she thinks there's sorcery involved. she's right. it's the fearsome chicken-stealing Cockatrice, a creature of legend impossible to defeat. unless

resurrected arthur hates sweets. the only “sweets” he tolerates are *maybe* sugared fruits and sweet breads, and that’s really pushing it. he’s also allergic to synthetic fibers, and his shirts all have to be cotton or he itches like fucking crazy. he runs into SO MANY glass doors. he struggles with reading and cannot read small text without glasses. modern mattresses are too soft for him. he hates the smell of baked meat and prefers it grilled or smoked. his first dose of caffeine gives him so much anxiety merlin almost takes him to the hospital. he tries to drink out of the toilet. he also drinks from the tap like a fucking gerbil with a water bottle. he hates padded furniture after too long and will sit on the floor in front of the sofa. he cannot be trusted in supermarkets.

I firmly believe at least one druid, at some point, looked at Merlin and thought "are we sure we have the right guy"

bbc merlin is a show that has the power of queerbait and straightbait at the same time, and is not afraid to use it. I started watching for merthur and ended up shipping hard mergwen and mergana as well, only for none of these to happen.

Merlin had such a ridiculous amount of chemistry with everyone he met, the writers panicked and just killed everyone instead.

Merlin would absolutely get Arthur's name tattooed after Arthur dies (probably while he's drunk). He starts regretting it when Arthur comes back.

Merlin just refuses to undress in front of Arthur for three years before Merlin is drunk enough to show him. Arthur, because he's drunk too, laughs. They fight about it for a week, before Arthur decides to get a Merlin (bird) tattooed on his shoulder.

Merlin: that's not fair

Arthur: why?

Merlin: yours looks COOL!!!

you know merlin being insane and also all powerful And Also completely ignorant abt physics is actually really concerning bc what if arthur was like i hate that the days get shorter during winter and he was like oh is the night bothering you king? and then just fucking messed up earth’s rotation around the sun

i remembered a fic i read where he like did Not let it rain for two weeks bc he noticed that sunny days make arthur happier and like. i dunno we dodged bullets we didnt even know abt is all im saying

Twitter users will not survive the winter

heartening saga honestly

AU where merlin is just Gaius' assistant and (OOC) Arthur has such a huge crush on the assistant that he can barely speak around him.

Merlin: "Gauis, does the prince have a problem with me? He barely speaks whenever I am assisting him..."

Gauis: "In truth, I have never seen him like this around another..."

I wish I was a fanfic writer, I would totally write this.... （＞人＜；）

“Omg merlin is trending” “lmao why is merlin trending” BECAUSE YOU GUYS KEEP ASKING WHY MERLIN IS TRENDING

ITS BECAUSE OF THAT

Merlin and Arthur are one of the only boss/employee romances I’ll take and it’s honestly because Arthur thinks he’s the boss when in reality Merlin runs the show and I think that’s funny

never getting over the fact that merlin is THE MOST POWERFUL SORCERER OF ALL TIME, and simply does not give a single fuck.

bro just uses his magic to clean his room, prank his boyfriend, and occasionally (begrudgingly) save camelot from its own stupidity.

the fact he could do ANYTHING with his level of power. and yet he chooses arthur, every time, over every other possibility.

bbc never admitted it, but that’s pure love right there folks.

are you still listening by abbie bosworth

Arthur is used to the court, he is used to standing at a certain distance from his interlocutor, he is used to etiquette and protocols, to speaking in a certain tone of voice, to never lowering his eyes showing weakness and, as a result, he is used to servile people, to people who never respond to him in kind and to making do when something goes wrong and he would only need a hand on his shoulder because he would not dare ask for anything more.

Merlin is none of these things.

Merlin invades his personal space, responds to him in kind, hugs him when something goes wrong and reassures him with kind but firm words.

Arthur does not know why he expected Hunith to be something different, after all, Merlin must have taken after someone in the family.

Hunith, when Merlin decides to visit her and take Arthur with him because "you have to get to know my mother better!", bows on the first day and calls him sire.

On the second day, she already has him help in the kitchens and teaches him how to prepare a meal from scratch, not commenting on the fact that he doesn't even know how to mix a bit of flour and water and, indeed, resting a hand on his shoulder congratulating him when -Arthur knows- he has done the bare minimum.

On the third day, she hugs him.

Arthur holds her so tightly that he is sure he will hurt her, but he has never been hugged like this, not even by Merlin, and Arthur absolutely will not cry.

That night, lying on the bed on the floor with Merlin, Arthur hugs him and thanks him.

Merlin laughs and tells him he now expects a meal prepared from scratch from him.

Y'all be making these yet none of y'all got the BALLZ to write the FIC and GIVE IT TO ME
