I keep watching Merlin bc unfortunately, I like the show.
THE MASSES THOUGHT I WAS FUNNY. SO HERE WE GO AGAIN! Only two episodes this time tho because I yapped way too much and my notes app started glitching-
Technically I watched the Lancelot EP last night but Imma be so real with you chat I was so tired I didn’t comprehend any of it.
Hey chat I’m so fucking tired today (again) but I already know Im gonna like Lancelot so HERE WE GO
God the CGI in this show is everything to me. The Griffen got beanie baby eyes.
SERIOUSLY IT’S GIVING GREAT WOLF LODGE MAGI QUEST I CAN’T UNSEE IT NOW
Let it be known I’m in love with lancelets hair
I FORGOT HE ALMOST DIES IN THE BEGINNING
The cgi is horrible but you know what isn’t THE SET DRESSING BABYYYYYY LONG LIVE PRACTICAL SETS
I watched a bunch of behind the scenes videos of the show bc I can and it’s so funny now watching the scenes with Arthurs horse knowing how much it just didn’t listen lmaooo
“You know Arthur?” “Oh yes~” 1. Why’d you say it like that 2. Why’d you say it like that. 3. YES GET LANCE A JOB!!!
“Fail and you’re no one.” “Up against a killing machine. Me” bro we gotta get you in some therapy like now.
“He saved my life.” “Well he’s already blown it.” I love them
Why is Arthur so jealous lol
AND FUCK THE FIRST CODE OF CAMELOT
AND FUCK UTHER!!!!!!!! UTHER HATER TILL I DIE!!!!!! RICH PEOPLE SUCK ASS!!!!!
Seriously I do love the use of practical candles but I do fear for a burned down set
Lancelot you have too good of hair to be this sad with it
Merlin you have GOT to be less obvious about this shit. You are EMBARRASSING.
It is a genuine wonder how he never got caught Jesus CHRIST.
“Hm I wonder what this suspicious boy is whispering about in the land of outlawed magic in a room where things can echo very loudly.”
Is Lancelot peeling an orange or an apple I literally cannot tell
LANCELOT HATES LIARS NOTE TO SELF (for fanfic reasons)
Merlin is very chaotic and I feel like we don’t bring that up enough
Gwen just one chance I beg of you.
WHAT IS WITH EVERYONES SLUTTY ASS SHIRTS.
Seriously tho Gwen, please. Just one chance. I beg. I beg of you. PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
“Are you two?” “Lmao Nah.”
I think merlin looked at the camera while he laughed and that made me laugh
I could make at least half of these knights in the sims
WHY DOES ARTHUR HAVE THE SLUTTIEST LOWCUT SHIRT KNOWN TO MAN KIND.
WHY DOES LANCE HAVE THE SAME ONE.
“First I’d like you to kill me.” Bro you sound so annoying I hope you know that.
I’m going to start using the “you’re not beating a carpet” saying. Idk when or how. But I’m going to use it.
“Have faith father, we’ll be ready.” See but you aren’t.
Shout out to the first time I watched this episode and realized that Gaius had flipped past the G second and which for some reason made me second guess myself on if it was actually a Griffen or not and I had to ask my roommate if she knew anything about it and we came to the same conclusion lmao-
LANCE WON LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO
Morgana looks so good in that dress but all I can think about is how cold it probably was
AW ARTHUR IS MAKING A TOAST! FRIENDSHIP!
Lmao merlin and lance are me after a Friday night out #frats
Has someone written a modern au where the knights are frat bros I think I need it
Ah hangover cures. Never tasting good but useful nonetheless.
I like how merlin and gaius wear the same color jacket
Arthur that is a horrible defense strategy what the fuck is that
Anyways back to the clothes topic I like how merlin wears the same color overcoat with the red + blue mixed in since from what I’ve seen a lot of the magic users wear a type of blueish, more cool colors while the non magic users (though mostly the Camelot crew since their colors are red) wear more of a warm color palette. Literal visual representation of how he’s pulled in 3 different directions between Gaius, the Magical World and Arthur.
Also Arthur fire will not fend off the beanie baby I feel like we should have known this
Uther: wdym it’s a magic creature we don’t allow magic creatures here it can be killed by human hands
Arthur: bro I literally did not harm it at all
“Uther must see reason” and *WHEN* do you think he’s EVER going to do that. I know you’ve only been here a few months merlin but let’s be so for real right now.
Merlin is having a very reasonable crash out tho we are just telling him to go kill random things.
“You are the most important thing in this world to me” FATHER AND SON RELATIONSHIPS!!!!!!!!
Ok Arthur with your “You don’t sound like a knight! you don’t even look like a knight!” tell me what tf a knight sounds like? A PRAT?
Ew I sounded like Merlin there someone stop me.
“Take it and never return to this place” NOT MY GOAT! LET HIM SERVE YOU GUYS WHERE TF ARE YOU GONNA FIND SOMEONE ELSE LIKE THIS BRO
In my captions for some reason kill is capitalized randomly, it does not matter really to anyone reading this but I thought it was funny to mention
That is one FUCKED UP dagger. Mini sword? What actually counts as a dagger bc to me they’re much smaller, similar to knives but it seems like they’re more like small swords so I gotta do more research
Lance and Gwen are having a moment and I am talking about swords-
Still don’t know what language merlin and all the others are chanting in I really gotta look that up
LMAO ARTHUR AND GAIUS SAY MERLINS NAME SIMILARLY THATS REALLY FUNNY
I love this show so much but the background screams are unfortunately fucking hilarious
YOU CAN’T FOOL ME BBC I KNOW WHEN ARTHUR DIES AND IT IS *NOT* THIS EPISODE.
Merlin my guy you are quite literally yelling and Lancelots weapon is now covered in blue fire you do not get to act as surprised as you do in about 3 minutes when lance confronts you about killing the Griffen you are NOT SLICK AT ALL BRO.
“It wasn’t me it was Lancelot” “What is he doing here” is it in the pendragon nature to be as dumb as possible
Dude Arthurs pretty af I really can’t stop looking at him
“I saw you” YEAH MERLIN. HE DID. IT WAS KINDA OBVIOUS BRO.
LANCE NO YOUR HAIR IS TOO GORGEOUS YOU CAN’T LEAVE NOW
Ok I just noticed that Arthur really speaks with one side of his face like I’m not angry at it but he really is just talking in a smirk for all of time
MORGANA MY GOAT YOU LOOK GORGEOUS IN THAT DRESS
Slow-mo lance is funny I’m so sorry
That went a lot quicker than I thought it did, anyways:
Also I finally got an ad blocker so this is actually much easier and I can just normally click now- I was kinda dumb about that before
EW I HATE COCKROACHES GET THAT SHIT AWAY FROM ME
Those lilies are too pretty to be evil
GET THAT BUG AWAY FROM MY WIFE EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EW EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
WE’VE JUST LET HER SIT FOR TWO DAYS????
Ok that’s mean to Gaius he is doing his best but STILL.
Also once again looping all the back to normal comments about costumes: Gwen and Morgana wear a lot of opposite colors that are also complimentary (purple + yellow) and I love them
Also I’m gonna start taking note of what Merlins wearing in the beginning of the episode because I’ve watched like half this episode already and Merlin wears I think? Mostly red shirt with blue scarf thing? Which again, red = no magic blue = magic and I’m pretty sure Merlin is very practical in this episode (like not really that happy with magic? I guess?)
LMAO MERLIN PACING HE JUST LIKE ME FR
“You’re making me ANXIOUS.” “But I’m not worried.” LMAO HE’S ME AF
OMG IS THE REASON MORGANA WEARS A LOT OF PURPLE IN THE EARLY SEASONS BECAUSE SHE IS LITERALLY A MIX BETWEEN MAGIC AND CAMELOT RIGHT NOW AND SHE CAN’T TELL THEM APART????? I’m a genius.
Also I did not write it down but I do fuck with Edwins face, it’s cool.
AW RATS MERLIN IS WEARING A BLUE SHIRT AGAIN I’M PROBABLY WRONG ABOUT THE BLUE RED THING :(
I’m not even paying attention to the episode anymore and we are literally only like 8 minutes in this is gonna be a long one folks.
I love Edwins whole deal (minus the bugs) his aesthetic is just very strong
“It can’t explain love.” “So you are in love?” “No!” (¬_¬) whatever you say dude. I think we should make polyamory legal in Camelot before magic. Can’t be executed when you’re married to like all the knights and also the king and queen
GET THAT FUCK ASS BUG AWAY FROM HER
Ok merlin practical team you guys are wonderful and you guys work so hard but also Jesus Christ that blood is literally bright fucking red like I have a missing email color blood
Edwin just bc I said I liked your aesthetic doesn’t mean you can diss my boy Gaius
GET HIS ASS GAIUS! CALL HIM OUT GAIUS! GET HIS ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
“We’ve never met” I highly doubt that
OMG THE POOR RECORDS MAN IS GEOFFREY I WAS WONDERING WHO TF THAT WAS IN THE CREDITS
Geoffreys actor would make an amazing Santa Claus lwk
Merlin lets not touch everything in the weird magic mans room it will very much look like you’ve been in there
EUGH I HATE THE BUG NOISES SO FUCKING MUCH
EUGHHHHHHHHH KILL THEM WITH FIREEEEEEEE
Ok so I was still lwk right most of Merlins magic scenes happen when he’s wearing the blue shirt bc he’s wearing the blue shirt again
“You have magic” “it wasn’t me. I didn’t do anything.” DUDE YOU ARE SO FUCKING BAD AT THIS.
“Magic can be used for good.” “I know.” See I know he’s evil but I really would have liked to see a not evil magic user for once in this show but I highly doubt that would ever happen
GEOFFREY MY GOAT COMING IN CLUTCH
Edwin stop poisoning Uther against my goat Gaius he did nothing wrong besides be a bystander in a genocide but uh. We ignore that part for now.
Now we reach the point of the episode where I fell asleep last time. I am oddly nervous.
DO NOT THREATEN MY BOY MERLIN
“You would betray another sorcerer?” “You did.” Ok so we are not ignoring the fact that Gaius participated in the genocide honestly this is good.
MERLIN ISN’T WEARING HIS MAGIC COLORS WHAT COULD THIS MEAN (I am thinking too much about this.) he’s literally only wearing his Camelot and physician jacket #nomagicformerlin
SERIOUSLY I CANNOT LOOK AWAY FROM THE FACT MORGANA ONLY REALLY EVER WEARS PURPLE I STARTED SAYING IT AS A BIT BUT I DON’T THINK IT’S A BIT ANYMORE
DON’T KICK OUT MY GOAT GAIUS WHAT HAS HE EVER DONE TO YOU????????
Omg Gaius is talking to the fuck ass magi quest dragon
“You have not changed either” well yes Gaius he’s a dragon I fear he will literally not change until he dies
“You know about Merlin?” WHY IS EVERYONE ALWAYS SO SURPRISED ABOUT THIS
“Must Uther be sacrificed for the boy?” Why yes! Fuck Uther! All my homies hate Uther!
“Then turn a blind eye. That is after all, your talent.” OH SO WE *REALLY* AREN’T IGNORING THE FACT GAIUS STOOD BY DURING THE SLAUGHTER OF MAGIC PEOPLES.
(Merlins wearing his magic scarf with his Camelot shirt again, if case anyone cared.)
“You’re like a son to me. I never expected a blessing so late in life.” “You are more of a father to me.” “Then as a father, I must tell you, you must remain here. Camelot is where you belong.” “But you belong here too.” CAN YOU HEAR ME CRYING. ｡°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°｡
I know Gaius doesn’t ACTUALLY leave but it truly making me upset I fear.
“Edwin said his work was riddled with errors” I HATE HIMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM FORGET EVERYTHING I SAID ABOUT HIS VIBES BEING COOL.
Oh my god. GAIUS IS WEARING BLUE. AM I FUCKING RIGHT ABOUT THE MAGIC THING???? WHAT THE FUCK
Also Gwen welcome back I love you queen I will figure out what your yellow outfit means soon enough trust.
YES GWEN TELL HIM ABOUT EDWIN BEING A FREAK
“In life you always have a choice, sometimes it’s easier to think that you don’t.” DROPPING BANGERS GWEN AND ALSO I WISH LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE LISTENED TO YOU ABOUT THIS EXACT TOPIC BRO.
SURPRISE SURPRISE EVIL MAN TURNED OUT TO BE EVIL. UTHER I HATE YOU BUT I KINDA DON’T WANNA SEE YOU DIE RN BECAUSE I WANT GAIUS BACK AND EDWIN OUT.
I hate Edwin but his clock is so swishy I love it.
OMG HE’S ON A PILLAR. LIKE A FUCKING FUNERAL PYRE. LIKE A WITCH BURNING. OH MY GOD.
DAMN THAT WAS VIOLENT AS FUCK MAN.
Merlin murder count uhhhh 5 ish idk I didn’t actually count
MERLIN ADVOCATING AGAINST MAGIC IN HIS RED OUTFIT GUESS I WAS FUCKING RIGHT (I’m not)
I really do hate the bugs. I am not a fan of their noises like at all.
“Has anyone told you you’re a genius?” “You certainly haven’t.”
“Do you remember his parents?” “I remember them all sire.”
Can I said old man yaoi yet or is that not allowed. Because they’re kinda giving toxic old man yaoi
Merlin wearing blue shirt + red scarf again what could it mean? (More accepting of magic!)
Ending notes: Jesus Christ I yap a lot. I love this show. I miss Lancelot. I hate Uther. I hate bugs. See you all next time because this is fun for me.
