#merlin!!

and why would you give it that grade?

Laughs and looks at all the fics and non fics thinks I read

A++, look I'm a sucker for this I just want people to be happy and with people they love, that try their damnest to understand and help and it being so so mutual

Even in my most gory angsty moments it hurts me to make the found family break apart (even if it's via death) in my mind they should be together till the end of time

Though don't misunderstand if it's a dysfunctional found family then they gotta talk and maybe break apart for a bit or forever only happy gushy family feels here (< says the person who loves conflict)

Sadly it's a trope thats common and overused, people forget that it's not all happy sunshine and often times erase characters traits or conflicts to make it work, or just outright ignore things without ever touching them

Also it gets often written in the style of nuclear families with clear parents and children without taking in the messy aspects of feelings that make those things much more fluid or not even able to narrow down at all with words

- i finished season one and may have watched a few episodes of s2? i don’t remember

- they’re. they’re in a polycule. they don’t even know that they’re in a polycule but when you’re all flirting with each other and no one’s upset about it…….. that’s a television polycule to me

- what is my thing with always liking the characters with daddy issues. so pissed when uther didn’t die the 26 times he was supposed to die

- GWEN. GWENNN. GWEN!! GWEN 🥰🥰🥰

YES GWEN WE LOVE GWEN (*glares at the misogynoir of the merthur fandom*)

also YEAH the poly in me cannot accept sm ships without putting them into ta polycule theyre ALL SO CUTE!!!!!! (i am partial to merlin x arthur and arthur x lancelot and merlin x gwen and gwen x lancelot and merlin x gwaine but you havent met gwaine yet. yeah merlin is the fandom bicycle and I have too many ships ive been consuming fandom content about this show since the seventh grade)

REAL arthur is so dean-coded in that he like. fundamentally has different ideology and values than uther but keeps differing to his father out of some sense of duty even tho uther doesnt treat him that well as a son!

Dragon: In a land of Myth

And time of magic

The destiny of a great kingdom

Rests on the shoulder

Of a young boy

His name....

Then Arthur shouts: MERLIN!

And there’s a picture of Merlin’s body shooting up from his bed, or Merlin coming to Arthur’s room, or the first scene of the episode. Like, a distant shouting of Merlin’s name on the first scene. Or like in the links below (the videos are not mine. They’re two different videos)
