✨ MERLIN CHALLENGE ✨ : Day 8 (8th): Favourite parallel (Morgana Pendragon vs Arthur Pendragon)
merlin’s tender touches 🥹🫶

Morgana Pendragon | 3x12
besties snooping
I just noticed that Arthur’s belt has a dragon on it 🐉 👀
I know that obviously it’s the creature associated with their family crest and it’s on other peices of royal clothing (like cloaks), but I hadn’t realized there was one on his belt in this episode.
It is a very detailed dragon design.
Gorgeous.
Technically speaking, if he isn’t… thirsty, hungry, in danger, or pain, then…broadly speaking, I suppose he is happy. What about you?

MERLIN | 3.07 The Castle of Fyrien
Because Merlin is still trending and because I love to be as annoying as possible, here is a list of horsecrazy fics to read and why you should read them
- The show rewrite that will clear your skin and add 20+ years to your life
- Will literally alter your brain chemistry; if you need references I can provide many
- Excellent characterisation, lots of Arthurian mythology, very epic and cinematic, and will have you laughing out loud and crying your eyes out pretty much every chapter
- Gay pining and cute animals
- What other reason do you need
- Totally Platonic and Heterosexual Roadtrip
- Jealous Arthur my beloved
- Friends with benefits (the “benefits” do not include functional braincells)
- The best texting/social media fic of all time
- Morgana’s texts to Arthur in this fic are reason enough to read it
- More pining idiots. Chef’s kiss
Alright, now that you’ve completed the introductory course, time to level up for the rest of the horsecrazy experience:
- “Porn without plot” or at least the closest Jenn is ever going to get to that lofty goal. Lmao
- This fic is so good. I have reread it so many times. I reread it yesterday again. I will reread it within a week.
- They’re mates. They go to a sex club. They do things mates don’t typically do. They don’t talk about it. They go back to the club. They do things mates don’t—
- Arthur comes out to his dad – “As what, a socialist?” “No Merlin, as gay, you idiot” – and Merlin is blindsided by this revelation
- 10/10 for pining
- It’s a battle of wills for how long it’ll take one of them to break and admit that the reason they’re shagging is actually because they’re in love
- Fairytale and mythology elements, 10/10
- Angst with a happy ending. Seriously this fic made me bawl my eyes out
- Canon era with a water spirit twist
- Do you love Arthur returns fics? You’ll love this
- They’re sheep farmers 🐑
- God bless
- We don’t talk about this one
- Lmaoooo it makes me cry a lot
- Another Arthur returns fic. Will punch you directly in the chest
Periodic obligatory reblog!!!!! I would put horsecrazy fics in the capsules we send to space for aliens to see human achievement
I think we don't talk enough about the fact that angel coulby was a black woman cast in a period piece in the late 2000s for a love interest of (one of) the WHITE leading men... that she was cast as the iconic guinevere. Like. One of the most famous literature historical figures. Like almost everyone has heard of guinevere and lancelot. Guinevere and king arthur. Like that was and is SUCH a big deal. That's why it irks me so much that people try to erase Arwen. Like, am I a merthur shipper? Yes. Do I think Arthur loved Merlin? Yes. but. Do I think Arthur loved Guinevere? YES. Do I ship arwen? YES.
this is so important, and i don't think people truly realise just how important it is.
angel's casting as gwen not only sparked general discussions about her (positive and negative and discussions which are still had today), but it also has been discussed academically too!
im sure many of us can relate when i say gwen was one of the first Black female representations in a medieval/period drama.
her casting was one of most important when it comes to discussions around casting, race, and medieval shows.
a lot of new fans don't seem to understand the importance, which mostly is no fault of their own, just that they weren't around when merlin was airing.
angel as gwen pissed off (and still does) a LOT of people, but it also provided a way for Black women to see themselves on tv and through a period drama.
we are so lucky to now have more ethnically diverse casting when it comes to period dramas but back when angel was casted this didn't happen often!!
