All This And Only One

so real of you aubrey

gwaine and will would’ve been best friends. no, think about it. they had one-sided beef with nobles that stems from how their father died and they initially only helped arthur for merlin’s sake. i feel like they would’ve either gotten along great or become each other’s worst enemy

Remember when Merlin collapsed in front of everyone and all that Arthur did was roll his eyes and his close friend Gwaine just stared at him and the only one who rushed to check on him was Lancelot? What the hell was that about huh

so, its widely headcannoned that when arthur finds out about merlin's magic he's upset that merlin didnt trust him and lied to him

i think when leon finds out its the opposite.

first of all, leon is smart and observant so he suspected the whole time. and i think when merlin finally tells him (because he definitely sits him down and tells him the truth) leon just smiles

he smiles and he tells merlin how happy he is that merlin trusts him and he would never tell anyone else his secret and he loves him so much

leon would hold merlin when he decides he's ready to tell arthur and he's so scared about how he's going to react and leon promises that if arthur is anything less than supportive they'll run away together

because as much as leon loves camelot and respects arthur, merlin means the world to him

leon would be in awe every time merlin does even the smallest bit of magic. he'd get butterflies seeing merlin make their bed with just a flick of his hand

idk man leon is just too in love with him to even consider that merlin had any ill intent with not telling him sooner

Let it be known that I also love Morgana x Gwen but they usually flirt pretty normally aside from the whole evil Morgana manipulation plot point but I couldn’t find a good screenshot to encapsulate that

Gwaine - charm and eternal flirt. Gwaine was too good at this - ease, smiles, endless confidence. he didn’t just flirt, he did it so naturally that even merlin sometimes got lost.

Gwaine:. have you ever wondered why i'm always around you?.

Merlin:. because you drink in the tavern, and then someone has to drag you out?.

Gwaine:. oh, so you care about me. and here i thought i was the one courting you.

and while Merlin was protesting, Gwaine was already throwing him his most charming smile.

I really wished they had let everyone have a chance to pick something out for the exercises & not just Angel. It could’ve been a fun way to not only show trust to the gang to let them pick out things to try but also help show each other different ways to get to know them better aswell as us the audience.

Charlie’s choice could’ve been the Trust Falls! Or something else traditional such as icebreakers, blindfolds or egg drops(perhaps the egg bois could’ve helped)! Of everyone having the most conventional ideas. I can absolutely see her want to do a karaoke night too if not for this but some point with them🎤 I could also see her or Vaggie suggest an escape room!

Vaggie could’ve still wanted to do something like the Doomsday District fight. Many pointed out the two side arguments(it did work in the show, they can’t normally die but on the other hand it’s still pretty dangerous, probably something that’d get you in legal trouble🤣). Maybe it could’ve cut To Vaggie initially wanting to do it before Charlie suggests something a tad less hectic. Cue them fighting via paint ball or Laster-Tag! Remeber that family guy paintball scene🤣

Angel Dust’s choice could’ve still been the BDSM club, or perhaps something like hitting up a LGBTQ/Drag Bar or even do makeovers with each other 💄💇🏽‍♀️👗👔 maybe Angel could’ve suggested a BDSM theme escape room. If Al was part of it I think he’d just break the wall to escape🤣

Niffty could’ve suggested something involving arts n crafts or perhaps have the gang help her with something involving pest control in the hotel🪳🪳🪳

Husk could’ve suggested going to a casino horse racing. Trusting the gang to pick out the best horse to put money on because his all choices were crap🤣🐎🏇💰

Sir Pentious-Perhaps would suggest a sorta workshop thing lie, trying to make a new weapon-new furniture together 🛠️🪚🪑 maybe like how they tried to put together that shelf in Sonic Boom🤣

If Al had stuck around, maybe he’d suggest deer hunting or perhaps even cooking(Al-We don’t need to get rid of the egg bois entirely, just keep the numbers small enough, I’d love to help) 🍳🦌.

Alastor-This is my mother’s recipe for eggs sardou(Louisiana Creole egg dish)! With just one change to the type of eggs.

On an unrelated note, I think instead of initially trying to get rid of the egg bois(Charlie & Angel have are allowed to have pets), they just want to limit the number of egg bois around so they can’t cause as much trouble. Imagine a montage of the various ways they die throughout the exercises🤣🍳 kill two birds with one stone.

In general, I think it would’ve been better if Charlie & Vaggie actually had a proper sit down & plan out with each other and/or with them on what to actually do for the trust thing rather than rush right into it with just the trust falls & putting it soon on Vaggie to lead(I kinda came up with a deeper reason of why Charlie decided to do that). That whole ep was def a trust exercise more for Chaggie, about them needing to communicate to each other better & learn to understand each other, think of what the others actually feeling/thinking & being honest/there for each other. I wished we had gotten to see more of the trust between the gang build up too, along with Chaggie. Or perhaps have it focused on the gang first & have the Chaggie stuff focused for another moment.

I def would’ve wanted something like this for 🌈 My Hazbins 🌈 that or they each split into pairs of the people that distrust/dislike each other the most or have the whole thing be an escape room thing. My Baxter would probably suggest something like a pairing dissection thing(def would’ve something very not legal like real life surgery game🤣🤣🤣)

What do u think? Anything u think they could’ve done for the trust exercises? I’d love to know💖

I'm rewatching BBC Merlin for the hundredth time and just need to talk about The Witchfinder episode from season 2 and how this impacted Merlin's decision to keep his magic a secret.

By now, Merlin has been in Camelot long enough to see how Gaius is a trusted advisor to Uther. They've been friends for decades. Uther trusts Gaius as much as he is capable of trusting anyone.

And yet. And yet Uther STILL orders the execution of his most trusted advisor on the word of the Witchfinder.

To Uther, the years of service and trust mean nothing in the face of sorcery. Uther tried to apologize (ish) later, and rightfully so, Gaius refused to just brush the near execution aside.

Now think about Merlin. He has come to care about Arthur as a person at this point, not just part of his destiny, but they aren't as close as we know they will be later.

Merlin has been traumatized by seeing his father figure almost die because the king was blinded by his hatred of sorcery. Merlin knows it was almost his own execution here.

It's no wonder he didn't want to tell Arthur at this point. If Uther was ready to kill Gaius, we know canonically he was fine with Merlin dying.

Once Arthur became king, I believe Merlin still remembered this. We know what Merlin said: he didn't want to put Arthur in this position, to have to make the choice of life or death. But I believe there was still this deep seated fear that his years of service and council would never be enough to out weigh the death sentence of being a sorcerer in Camelot.

Merlin and Leon being immortal doesn't stop any wounds from scarring, they play as a reminder of what kills them every single time, and they can very much still feel pain from them.

So they took to treating the others wounds whenever they’re bothering them after they found out about each others immortality.

I'd imagine they both always have backup bandages and salve with them just in case the others scars start to bother them.

They sneak into each other's chambers (mainly Leon's) whenever they want to check over the other's scars, which most of the time ends up with them falling asleep in each other's rooms (which has caused many rumors..)

They also have matching scars, Merlin's burn scar from Nimueh and Leon's burn scars from Kilgharrah (headcanon) so they know exactly what the other went through.
