Merlin And Leon Being Immortal Doesn't Stop Any Wounds From Scarring, They Play As A Reminder Of What

So just netflix then

I know this sounds like a horrible thing to say but...I kinda hate Gauis.

Like seriously... it boggles my mind that the fics I've read with Morgana views this man in such a warm light when he not only gaslights her about her magic but blames her for the choices she tries to gain her own autonomy whilst he steals it from her by keeping her in the dark of her own magic.

Like he has the audacity to compare Morgana to Merlin? He's accepting of Merlin's magic and gives him the tools to learn and control his own magic meanwhile Morgana is not only kept in the dark but given no guidance...

And it's her own fault for choosing Morgause.

Honestly out of all the "good" characters I wished died, I wish it was Gaius. I hate that he survives the series.

They should have made him a Roman with loyalties to Lucius Tiberius and then he betrays Camelot reluctantly and then we can see that scene of Gwaine loosing his temper and lopping Gaius' head off. That would've been a joy to see.

Telling Merlin that he did the right thing by murdering his friend because she chose to use her magic wrong, never mind that nobody was helping her in the first place and she was on her own. Never mind that everyone decided to initially gaslight her.

No fucking accountability.

I found this video about Hazbin Hotel's problems, mainly Charlie as a character. Very good critical video.

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.

Arthur & co getting transported to the time before magic was outlawed and preparing for a dark and scary world of bloodshed and horror only to find a world that shines and gleams with happy, smiling faces and magic flying free. Sorcerers are a natural part of daily life and are no different than the average citizen. Arthur is a bit stumped and Merlin is overjoyed, practically bursting with joy as he takes in the world around him. He keeps running off to perform magic openly but Arthur worries about him getting hurt bc he doesn’t trust this world so Merlin has to keep sneaking away but Arthur just keeps chasing after him and Merlin keeps running away and Arthur…eventually buys a child safety harness (cough a leash cough) to keep Merlin with him. Lancelot helps him break out. Arthur puts them both on a leash- I mean, child safety harness. Gwaine busts them out bc hes a slut for casual treason and pissing off Arthur

Does anyone remember that velvette supposed to be a witch/potion maker?

I sure didn't!

I was checking her wiki because I wanted to include something about her during a conversation with my friend.

And I read about how she made love potions with the help of Valentino. And then I remember the whole she is a witch/influencer/fashion designer.

I don't know whether making her have a talent in potion making is a good idea when everyone forgets. Or it mashed in with her other stuff.

Short: Never Leave us Merlin!

Merlin: Ok, so I assigned Edward to be your servant for the week. And I had-

Arthur: Really Merlin, Camelot won't fall apart if you're gone for a few days.

Merlin: 🤨 *Sceptical but finishing cleaning up Arthur's bed*

Merlin: *Rolls eyes* Well, if that is all. Take care of yourself and I'll be back in the week.

Arthur: *Nods* Be sure to tell Hunith my regards.

Merlin: *Smiles*

Arthur: *Blushes*

Merlin: Lancelot, I'm heading to Ealdor. Finally got the Prat to let me have my days off. But I hate to ask this, can you please keep an eye on Arthur for me?

Lancelot: Of course my friend. You can count on me.

Merlin: No seriously Lance, this is Arthur we're talking about. With him you'll need to keep constant vigilance.

Lancelot: It'll be OK Merlin. I promise, nothing will happen to Arthur while you're away.

Merlin: *Deeply sceptical but seriously needs a vacation*

Merlin: OK.

Lancelot: 😊 Have faith. How much trouble can Arthur get into within a week?

[ONE WEEK LATER]

Merlin: *Back from Ealdor*

Camelot: MERLIN'S BACK! *Cue cries of relief*

Leon: Thank the gods! *Grabs Merlin before he could protest and informs him of the others*

[KING'S CHAMBERS]

Merlin: 😑 Arthur...

Arthur: *Looks away*

Merlin: 💢 Arthur James Pendragon, tell me why Gwaine and half of your council are in the dungeons, and why Lance is in the corner crying and- IS THAT AN ARROW IN YOUR ARM?!!! ‼️😠🗯️

Arthur: *Sweats* 💦

Lancelot: *Mumbling* It all happened so fast... The first day was fine it was normal.. Then.. Then.. 😭😭

Leon the only Sane One left: Then Arthur didn't like the servant serving him, firing them on the spot. Next came Gwaine commenting on Arthur looks without Merlin around. Then they started arguing and Gwaine went into the dungeons to prove some point about something.

Arthur: *Mutters* He said I wouldn't last a day. Told him he can't last sober.

Merlin: 🤨

Leon: *Sighs long suffering* Then a sorcerer, no more then a young boy came trying to kill Arthur and failed. He fell over Arthur's messy room and knocked himself unconscious.

Merlin: 😦

Leon: Next the council wanted to burn the boy but Arthur wouldn't have it and tossed half of them in the dungeons.

Merlin: 😑

Arthur: 😅

Leon: And today, when training, An assassin tried to kill Arthur and would have succeeded if not for the sorcerer boy who was again attempting to kill Arthur but moved him out of the way slightly instead.

Merlin: 😓 And where is Gaius?

Leon: There is a birth happening in the lower town.

Merlin: ... Get my Medical Bag and I'll take care of the wound. *Sighs* I was only gone for a week...

Lancelot: And Never again.

Arthur and Leon: *Nods*

Camelot: Never Leave us Merlin!

i just know that gwaine was FURIOUS when he found out that merlin helped lancelot commit identity theft but refuses to do so much as help gwaine pick the lock to the castle's wine cellars >:(
