The Table Was Round For A Reason

Merlin on his most respectful day.

Merlin: Hey, mom, can I throw away these old things that no one is eating?

Hunith *distracted*: You can, dear.

Merlin: okay, you heard it, Gaius, let's go.

Gaius: 😮

Hunith: No, no, Merlin, wait, son, not that old man🤣

Merlin: Oh, okay then, and can I throw away that old man over there? *points to Uther*

Uther: 😡

Arthur and Morgana: You can throw him away!

hi. gwaine overthinker here. i love this scene because the way eoin performed it does not sound like he's joking at all. to me. in fact he sounds like he's in a miserable mood.

mind you this is what the past few days (an optimistic estimate) have looked like for gwaine so far:

and lest we forget:

yeah.

so my interpretation of this scene is that gwaine really is being short with merlin, but it's merlin. and gwaine catches himself making him feel worse. so fuck it! ptsd and moral apprehension can wait. merlin needs firewood.

and to be fair, it's probably a relief to have someone drag you out of your doom spiral and pout at you until you run an errand for them.

in conclusion,

For everyone who bought this! You better get comfortable. This gonna take a long time.

But seriously, how is anyone not getting angry? I can not stress this enough to everyone who bought this. You all have the patience of a saint.

Like, what do they mean? "The design is still being worked." Like brother, the design should've been finished 11 months ago!

I swear they pull excuses out of the trash because what?

quotes from when my brother walked in on me watching merlin

camera: pans to merlin

bro: "who is this twink"

knights of the round table + gwen: chilling

bro: "so does merlin take them all at once or individually?"

me: explains merlin and lancelot in Lancelot du Lac

bro: so his fuckbuddy was resurected but turned straight

NEED I SAY MORE???

Ok so i love Merlin magic reveals but theres just something special about Merlin Dragonlord reveals

The ones where Arthur finds out and suddenly realises "HolyshititoldMerlinthathisownfatherwasntworthatearwhyishestillatmysideimahorribleperson-"

And i've seen several versions of this reveal and what the responses would be

But i haven't seen one i had in my mind

Just imagine this: Merlin grows his hair out ("no, gwaine, im not copying your hairstyle stfu-") and grows a beard

And Arthur thinks it's hot that he looks oddly familiar but can't place it

He tells tells Merlin this and Merlin sits there in cold sweat thinking Arthur is connecting him to Dragoon or something

It takes Arthur a week (A whole week!) to figure out who bearded Merlin reminds him of

They’re sitting around the fire on their way to a quest or whatever

And Arthur looks at Merlin who's attempting to carve what looks like a misformed dog from a piece of wood when Arthur suddenly gets flashbacks to that time The Great Dragon escaped and they went in search for the last Dragonlord.

Balinor. Merlin looks like Balinor.

And now that he sees it he can't unsee it. It's uncanny how much they look alike. Almost like father and son...

And that is how Arthur realises that he never defeated The Great Dragon and that Merlin is in fact the last dragonlord and "shitshitshitmyfatherruinedhisfatherslifeanditoldhimnottocryaboutit-"

Ignoring the fact that Uther believed that Dragonlords were too close to magic Arthur confronts Merlin about it, and promises him it's alright, it will all be alright. And Merlin can barely get out a word before Arthur hugs him, both of them pretending that Merlin totally isnt crying.

Arthur takes any books on dragons and dragonlords he can find and gives them to Merlin.

(Bonus points if Merlin lets Arthur come along the next time he summons Kilgarrah for help and Arthur promptly kisses Merlin after hearing him use that voice because 'holyshithessohotwhattheactualfuck')

((Even more bonus points if they adopt Aithusa together))

What???

Look, I'm so up for headcannons. Since headcannons are really fun and can be a great way for fans to think of ways their favorite characters would be like in different situations.

But usually, headcannons are fan interpretation, not canon. So, if it canon inside your head, that blitz has coporlalia, ADHD, and borderline personality disorder. Great! Just remember it canon inside your head.

It has never been canonically started, nor implied by the showrunners nor Viv herself. That blitz has these disorders. If you enjoy these headcannons, again great! But don't go around saying it like it has been shown to be canon.

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

Merlin and the knights playing never have I ever

At first, it's innocent stuff and Gwaine complains that it's all dull trivia and they need to start getting into the more interesting questions. Leon looks him dead in the eyes and says "Fine. Never have I ever been arrested" Literally everyone but Leon drinks.

From that point it becomes a challenge to see who's done the most outrageously criminal shit "Never have I ever been in a bar fight" "Never have I ever committed identity fraud" "Never have I ever broken someone out of the dungeons" "Never have I ever stolen from the royal vaults" "Never have I ever committed treason with the King still in the room" And Merlin. Just. Keeps. Drinking. Now it's about trying to find something Merlin hasn't done but one of the others has. The answer turns out to be "Never have I ever been banished from a kingdom"

Merlin passes out before he runs out of criminal things he's done. Magic is the only reason he's still alive the next morning after how high his blood alcohol level was.

After Merlin passes out the knight just look at each other wondering how Merlin hasn't been executed yet with all the shit he's done. Gwaine chuckles and shakes his head "Perks of being the king's mistress"

Gravity falls au I came up with for funnies!

So this au started because I had an idea! What if Mabel and Dipper were the opposite, of summer them.

So basically, in California, Dipper was still awkward but got by just having fun. While Mabel was the smart twin!

Mabel didn't like being label the smart twin since that cause her to live under pressure that she never be known as anything else.

Dipper hated being known for nothing. He was always known as Mabel twin and nothing else. He would love to be labeled with something that isn't just nothing but Mabel twin.

When their parents sent them off to gravity falls. On the bus there. Mabel and Dipper come up with the plan to switch personality for the summer.

Just to know how it feels to be in each other shoes, even if it is just for one summer.

______________________________________

This au is for fun only, and I'm still working on it. But I thought it would make a fun parallel au (I explained how it parallel au later in another post, probably or if someone sends me asks about it)

Anyway, have a good rest of your day!

Merlin: *lets out a sad little sigh* I wish my life was less difficult.

Gwaine, already sprinting halfway across Camelot: SOMETHING TELLS ME MERLIN NEEDS A HUG-
