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 🧐
*kinda* more accurate merlin era fashion

How I look explaining gay subtext to straight people
Physically cannot stop thinking about Merlin and Arthur peacefully slow dancing in Arthur's chambers late at night after a feast/ celebration.
It's quiet in Camelot and the only other movement in the castle are the guards occasionally patrolling the corridors.
Finally alone, finally safe, they slowly sway there holding eachother close listening to the fire.

The "evil" people who only wanted Uther dead did nothing wrong change my mind
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.
