I love merthur. They are the type of soulmate troupe I die for.
But after reading a lot of merthur fanfiction, Iâm on the verge of hating Arthurâs character. Merlin just has to work so hard, even in the good ones, and most authors donât even seem to realize that their manservant and prince relationship doesnât work when it turns romantic. Arthur needs to change, he canât treat his lover as a servant. And he freaking needs to grow up and learn how to deal with emotions and be there for Merlin. Else it wonât work!
Honestly, I like merthur, probably will always ship it, but at this point I just want to grab Merlin and shove him at Mordred so he can feel what it is to be loved, emotionally supported, and to hear words of appreciation... I certainly donât think they are soulmates, in fact, I think Merlin is far from what Mordred needs, but I canât take it anymore. Iâm going Merdred.
What I have learned from this is that soulmates doesnât automatically equal happy ending, even when soulmates, the actual people in the relationship still need to grow, and evolve, in order to become the true soulmate they were intended to be.
