Arthur: You’re an enigma, Merlin
Merlin: no, actually. Im a warlorck, and a dragon lord. I’m an enigma wrapped in a serial killer, wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a destiny, wrapped in depression, wrapped in adhd, and lastly, wrapped in fake smiles and a cuddly persona. Enigma doesn’t even begin to describe me.
Gwain: he’s like a Russian nesting doll, except every time you reveal a layer it gets more depressing.
polyamory and bisexuality could have saved camelot
this was about king arthur & queen guinevere & lancelot in, like, le mort d'arthur I guess but people saying bbc arthur & gwen & merlin: yeah sure. them too.
Interview of the Co-creator of Merlin: "Yeah, we used Smallville and Shrek as inspiration for writing Merlin".
Me: *leaves everyting and makes this:*
this is television history a little
arthur: merlin, do you love me
merlin: [has sacrificed his life for arthur 9373937482 times] nope
bbc merlin funniest show of all time they make magic a metaphor for being gay and come down firmly on the side of homophobia and staying in the closet
bbc merlin’s political agenda of “i’ll wait for the king to die and fuck his son so good, he’ll have to adopt my politics” was actually so ahead of its time
there was not a single braincell amongst the characters in this silly little show
god, I love the dynamics between Merlin and all the other characters because he does such WEIRD shit and they all just DEAL WITH IT
it’s like. imagine you’re a prince and you’re used to getting everything you want and then suddenly your servant is this teen that regularly gets into fights with raccoons. this supposed alcoholic is just following you around and trying to fight everyone every second. every day you wake up to this kid like. attempting to put out a fire in your room and you just?? accept it??
or imagine you’re a knight and your one job is to protect the prince and this punk ass kid is just. throwing stuff at him. and the prince keeps threatening to stop him but he hasn’t?? and like this kid is scrawny but he’s about to throw a full table at your boss and instead of being responsible your knight friend Leon is just completely losing it. he’s not even breathing he’s in hysterics watching someone threaten the future king. he’s been laughing for a solid minute and you can’t even tell if he’s breathing. like??
Gwen probably went home every day and just immediately passed out because her bestie is some freak that drinks goblets of poison and refuses to explain himself. how do you even emotionally deal with that? with this weirdo placing himself into your life and like. stealing the princess’ clothes? absolute legends, all of them
Merlin is Camelot’s cryptid
#also that scene in 1x02 where merlin’s just sitting on the steps with gwen #and out of the blue is like ‘help me steal this dog statue’ #and she just does?? #no questions asked? #it’s hilarious
Merlin three seconds after meeting Lancelot: You seem nice, let’s commit identity fraud
Merlin rewatch | 1x03 “The Mark of Nimueh”
Continuation of that fandomstuck thing (http://theinkgirl.tumblr.com/image/42722106736) I posted last night. The first one was made up of mostly of fandoms that people were familiar with--even if they didn't like them (like Friendship is Magic). My sister suggested a lot of these (mostly fandoms she's in). Some of them, like Merlin and Disney and PKMN are familiar to everybody. Then there's Clue Crew, which is secluded and speaks only to itself (although I have it on authority that they have a stalker crush on Doctor Who and think well of Merlin). Then there's three book fandoms at the bottom--Artemis Fowl and PJatO, less popular classmates of Harry Potter I think. And 39 Clues, PJatO's baby sister, who is mostly obsessed with adolescent shipping issues. Also, the WIR design belongs to http://harushururu.tumblr.com/ (I just thought it was way cute). ((I'm going to giggle if all those people who liked the one with SuperWhoLock just look at this like wtf is Clue Crew omg)).
