i heard Colin Morgan say “how long have you been training to be a prat, my lord?” when I was 12 and my brain chemistry was permanently altered
The sword in the stone episode is practically the essence of the whole show. It is Arthur and Merlin, both, that stand before all the people, but everyone's eyes are on Arthur, as usual. Merlin used his magic under their very noses and not a soul noticed his eyes glow gold. The scene where Arthur pulls out the sword? If that isn't a symbol of Arthur and Merlin's entire time together, then I don't know what is. Arthur is fully aware of his strengths as a warrior, but doubts his kingly qualities, and even though his love interest Gwen is there, he needs Merlin to reassure him. Merlin tells him of the legend of the sword and takes him to the sword. Mind you, he is fully aware it is by magic that the sword is stuck in the stone, and that it is stuck fast, but also that using magic he could easily get Arthur to pull it out with his thumb alone. Nonetheless, Merlin stands back and first lets Arthur try. He lets him try anyway. Despite. Because he knows it is impossible for someone to pull it out without magic, and yet he is so sure Arthur is the greatest king to ever exist that he momentarily forgets that a major part of the legend is his own brainchild. But Arthur cannot, and yet he does not fail. Because he's got a Merlin. When Arthur is struck with panic and dread when he realizes for a moment how impossible the idea is, Merlin is there, as always, telling him what he needs to hear, a part of his heart and brain in a whole different person. Merlin tells him, "Have faith." This may or may not be the first time he's said it out loud, but the idea was always there. Merlin has no great warrior-like skills that Arthur knows of, and yet he is dragged along on every great and perilous journey and quest, because he has faith in himself when Merlin is around. And they always somehow get back home with two hands, two feet, and their own teeth. He has faith in Merlin. And the most important part, Arthur does manage to pull the sword out. He knew it was impossible, and he knew he did it. He knew it was magic, but he doesn't complain, because it would be foolish to refuse magic, because one, it was then that they needed it the most, and two, because magic has always been at the heart of Camelot.
Sebastian De Souza Spanking Bradley and not wanting to let him go ,plus his little dance is sooo cute LOL
Next time any of them does a Q&A ,someone needs to get details! Was misha there? Did Bradley watch spn? was he possibly going to guest star?
I'm feeling the biggest clown ever because I'm excited about the things Eion and Bradley have been saying about Merlin but I think they'll just do a zoom meeting
this will be Colin the entire meeting trying to figure it out how to turn on the mic because the poor man don't have technology in his cave

So funny story, i follow this page @is-arthur-back-yet , i didn't even watch the bbc merlin show, i just like arthurian legends. I have this screenshot in my gallery from when i wanted to show this page to a non tumblr friend of mine. So anyway, i was gonna work on one of my animations today, but the next step was doing lineart, and i really didn't feel like it, so i went to my gallery to find something to doodle. I saw this photo and went like: "yeah, i could do some realism + color theory"
