from ask me about my wips
YESSS THANK YOU FOR ASKING ABOUT IT AKDJSJD THE ONLY REASON THIS IS STILL A WIP IS BECAUSE I DON’T KNOW IF I CAN DO DRUNK MERLIN JUSTICE
basic look at the story: chaos.
longer look: he and Arthur have made a trip to the tavern(tm) together with a few knights, doing more gambling and such as These Boys do. but Merlin has had FAR too many drinks (they’re honestly surprised he didn’t get drunk sooner?? little secret: his magic heals him and such, so it takes a lot more for him to get plastered, which is exactly what he does)
he is both amusing and getting on the nerves of a mostly-sober Arthur who just wanted to go out and have a good time w some friends. (though said friends, the knights, think the pair of them — mess that they are — are fucking hilarious)
at first Arthur’s like “Merlin, pull yourself together for gods’ sake. Youre embarrassing me. I am not taking you home early if you vomit.”
but arthur secretly likes drunk merlin and thinks he’s quite fun but will be damned if he says so and instead plans what he’ll say to torment a hungover merlin tomorrow morning (“shall I tell him he said something embarassing or just talk very loudly?”) he secretly likes drunk merlin bc he is uhh,,,, an interesting character :)
all those fronts he’s usually got up just go 📉. ABSOLUTELY DIP. so he is vERY SASSY AND CHAOTIC. maybe gets in a bar fight? not sure yet. maybe some secrets get spilled ;) maybe merlin just fully embraces his “I do not give a SINGLE fuck” energy, but with some drunken laughing instead of his usual brooding
maybe merlin protests going back to his own chambers as Arthur drags his sorry ass home. “but ArThUr, Gaius’ chambers are,,, all the way across the castle,,, oh look! ur chambers are right there ahah, isn’t that interesting👀... NO im not lazy, you ass. i am simply stating a convenient fact. i only want to get to bed — to sleep — as soon as possible! it’s all about time management and... and efficiency, arthur. to get to bed.” maybe kisses a certain blond who knows ahaha..
ANYWAY i want to portray this desperately. I have The Vision but lack The Words. it will happen eventually though promise akdjskfj (this has sort of reignited my desire for this story I might even work on it right now-)
