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))
Honestly, I don't see the point of Barbie's character for multiple reasons:
● she hasn't seen or mentioned since this episode
● We didn't even seen her reaction to the trial
● had no proper setup for her introduction
● We barely know anything about her, like how close she was with blitz
● Her relationship with her mom, dad, or fizz
Like, don't get me wrong, Barbie can be an interesting character if done right
But half the time, despite being the main character siblings and important enough that blitz track down where she was
She serves little to nothing to the plot or blitz character as a whole
Like we don't even canonically know how blitz ruined her life
a lot of people theorized that blitz burning down the circus that cause the destruction of their home/place of work
But we have no idea if these theories are true for all we know she could have care less of circus. Instead, she mad at blitz for causing the death of their mother.
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
What if everyone in the digital circus is ai expect pomni?
Just imagine the biggest plot twist is everyone from Ragatha to Kinger turns out to be ai. And Pomni is the only real human, maybe a test experiment to see how the ai interacts with a real human.
Arthur wakes up in a Camelot where Merlin has never come to Camelot.
At first, Arthur is so distracted by Merlin's absence, that he doesn't realize how everyone is staring at him strangely.
Arthur: Is something the matter?
Knight: Are you - Excuse me, Sire - You are so calm today. Is everything alright?
Arthur: Calm? How on earth am I calm? Merlin is gone!"
Knight: Yes but ... Aside from this mysterious Merlin... You haven't chosen a servant today.
Arthur: If they aren't Merlin, then it doesn't matter.
Knight: *Wide eyes* You beat up this Merlin person?
Arthur: If I WHAT?!
DREW LEON FROM MY FIC BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I NEEDED A VISUAL FOR MYSELF
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.
I just got the chance to see the valentine merch and I have to say I'm not really impressed.
If I have time this week, I might make some posts discussing what I did and didn't like about the merch.

The blond bloke in the suit swallowed heavily. “I’m looking for a Mr. Gaius White.”
Merlin’s mouth twisted. “That was my great-uncle, but he passed away. I’m the shop proprietor now.” He straightened to his full height and held out his hand. “Mer—”
Blond Bloke cut him off. “I’ll need some proof of that.”
Face scrunching up in distaste, Merlin snapped, “Why? Who the hell are you, anyway?”
Reaching into his breast pocket, Blond Bloke pulled out a business card. “My firm—er, my father’s firm—handled all the business legalities for Dragon Egg Books. My father has sent me to this ridiculous backwater to ensure our association continues.”
“It’s basically a suburb, not the bloody hinterlands, you posh tosser,” Merlin muttered, looking at the card.
The bookstore Merthur AU has begun!
