the frustrating thing abt bbc merlin is that the cinematography is great the acting is earnest and the writing is terrible, with just enough good bits and interesting concepts that ppl are willing to put up w it. did no one hire a script editor. please sir my crops are wilting
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 🥴
bbc merlin but everytime arthur insinuates merlin can't keep a secret merlin looks into the camera like he's on the office
Merlin every episode
oh my god even their fucking dnd characters line up, i knew they reminded me of someone. THEY BETTER NOT END UP LIKE THEM.
Kilgarrah: When was the last time you cried?
Merlin: Uh 15 minutes ago, why??
Kilgarrah:Â Really? That recent?
Merlin: Yeah, [Voice cracks]Â is that a issue? [Starts crying again]
You're the heart, Will 💔
found this perfect picture and had to ✨merlin✨-ify it
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.
