Quick Sketch Of Merlin And Arthur As Cats (...not Furrys)

Jonathan has had enough of their gay shit 😤

Merlin every episode

Watching Merlin is confusing because I ship Merlin and Arthur, but I also ship Arthur with Gwen, but I ship Gwen with Morgana, but I then ship Morgana with Merlin who I still ship with Arthur, but also ship with Gwaine who I ship Percival and it just goes on and on

no bc all these people saying to give will a break or to leave him alone… literally the only way he is going to get any screen time is if he is in mortal danger. i am THROWING that boy into the upside down at this point

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.

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

Barbie and ken meme but with DAO companions

I'm an idiot and deleted my original post of this so..

I love the metaphor of merlin and arthur being 2 sides of 1 coin so I had to include it in this drawing of them 🥴
