Merlin 🙌

they should invent a high ponytail that doesn’t give me a headache and they should invent a low ponytail that doesn’t make me look like a miller’s apprentice going off to enlist in the continental army

when it was revealed that agravaine was a traitor, arthur asked merlin if he, merlin, knew that. in response, merlin, who had tried so hard to tell arthur (only to be treated absolutely horribly in return), didn’t say “i told you so,” or “yes, obviously i knew,” or anything that would make arthur feel worse. he just said that he suspected it. because arthur was already so hurt and merlin just wanted him to be okay. could you ever love anybody that much? insane.

new to the merlin fandom and i’m catching up on all the wonderful behind the scenes content and like… they all treat colin like a princess it’s the cutest thing. in the audio commentaries and video diaries they’re all fawning over how sweet and funny and talented he is, then whenever colin is actually on camera he’s just this quiet and polite little guy lol it’s so adorable

bbc merlin has its issues but I don’t think any other media has really done “it was all inevitable and all his fault” in such a powerful way

thank you Merlin BBC for teaching us that neither power nor love saves
