Finished Watching Merlin For The First Time And Oh Boy Is It Really Depressing

found this perfect picture and had to ✨merlin✨-ify it

It dawned onto me that merlin and otis from SE on netflix look kinda similar and are similar in personalities, as well as arthur and maeve (both stuck up at first but kind underneath🤷) and so my merlinxsexeducation au was born

It was a actually super fun drawing this 🧐

I think an insanely overlooked byler proof is

"Listen, the truth is, the last year has been weird, you know? And I mean, you know, Max and Lucas and Dustin, they're... they're great. They're great. It's just... It's Hawkins. It's not the same without you."

this feels straight out of a fanfic. it's so simple but it still manages to single out Mike and Wills relationship completely, that what they have is different and special. if the writers wanted us to view Mike as a completely unreciprocating straight best friend, they wouldn't throw this line in. that Mike is the one who views their relationship as something beyond his other friendships.

Both kinds of Bioware girls got a lot of rep at the 2024 VMAs

what kind of love it was.

bbc merlin but everytime arthur insinuates merlin can't keep a secret merlin looks into the camera like he's on the office

Kilgarrah: When was the last time you cried?

Merlin: Uh 15 minutes ago, why??

Kilgarrah: Really? That recent?

Merlin: Yeah, [Voice cracks] is that a issue? [Starts crying again]

them 😚

(merlin + arthur)

Hot take: but Merlin did fail.

At the end of the last episode Kilgarrah tells Merlin that he hasn't failed and magic will come back to Camelot (on a side note that seems not true at all, as it all seems so rushed and we never see any reason that would happen. It is acknowledged that Gwen knows it was Merlin as the wizard, but he doesn't save Arthur which wouldn't give magic any points and it's unlikely Camelot would just welcome magic like that.)

But Merlin could have at multiple times chosen better options and saved other lives - speaking specially about Morgana and his lack of helping her with her magic.

I know for the story, she had to be the main villain and not like Merlin, but it all seems untrue to his character and wasn't very wise.

But by having Merlin "fail" ( or not as apparently he didn't), to me it makes the story more real and grounded. It isn't as if all these bad things happened for a fairy tale ending, but bad things happened and he still failed.
