so I watched the last episode and I cried (obv) and let me tell you: as much as I love Arthur slowly realizing that he was and is in love with Merlin once he is back (cause slow burn is actually what I live for), the realization of being in love™️ hitted him STRONG during the "I am born to serve you Arthur" speech. Like. After being all heart eyes and "I want you to always be you" or "JUST HOLD ME", bitch, he can't come back and play it off like "ya know it was the fact that I was in crazy pain and delirious, no homo, definitely no homo". He fully realized he was in love with Merlin so he has to ease Merlin's long suffering, come back and fucking kiss him
third time trying posting this, tumblr you can't be homophobic
what BBC Merlin needed
- less prophecy
- more people learning his secret and interacting with him regularly instead of immediately dying
#secret#listen i dont go here anymore butt#WHAT could POSSIBLY be funnier than Absolutely Everyone learning merlin is a sorcerer one by one#only every single one of them believing they are the only ones who know and need to cover for him/hide it from everyone else?#season finale isnt some dramatic battle it’s everyone figuring out they didnt need to spend so much time hiding his#and being very annoyed about it#season 5 some villain pulls a Grand Reveal#that this Servant Boy is indeed a Wizard! a traitor to his king!#and everyone including arthur just kind of awkwardly avoids each other’s gaze#then morgana pulls an anakin and stabs the villain in the back while they’re monologing @the-tao-of-fandom WHY would you HIDE this in the TAGS - I LOVE IT
people who argue over whos the better (gay) fictional wizard, gandalf or dumbledore, are BOTH wrong. its merlin from the sword in the stone (1963).
this guy set the bar for wizard characters nearly 60 years ago and he's been killing the game ever since
He has better fashion sense than Dumbledore to be sure
Merlin’s waiting
