what about threatening an ass

arthur. 🫶 who was the son of a tyrant. who was arrogant and conceited. who was born of immense love, and immense sacrifice, and yet had never been looked at like he mattered, until said servant came along and gave him the chance to realise how deeply he wanted to CARE. who became the head of a kingdom built on violence and pain. who became merciful and gentle and HUMBLE to a fault. who fell in love with a man who should have been his sworn enemy, and by his side, tried to build a better, kinder world.

bbcs merlin is a show for the misunderstood. which happens to be all of us. we all have parts of ourselves we hide away, because we can’t or won’t let anyone see, or because we haven’t yet realised their presence within ourselves. we are human. ever-changing. constantly misunderstood, by ourselves and others. and yet we are always redeemable if we choose to be. the characters of bbcs merlin are excellent because they are too.

a concept: me scrolling tumblr, just minding my business, giggling and kicking my feet over a cute merthur fan art then BAM ! joke about Arthur dying ! BAMMM ! greyscale gif of Merlin holding Arthur’s dead body in his arms ! BAM ! LITERAL TEARS IN MY EYES ! LITERAL TEARS PEOPLE !

please! I’m beginning to feel like I’m being Rick rolled every time i open this app (reminded of the futile efforts of arthur and merlin to unite Albion and the ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY of their love story)

my heart can only take so much. (so could Arthur’s apparently)

PLEASEEEE 😭😭

arthur: no man is worth your tears

merlin: there can be no place for magic in camelot
