Have we talked about the sleeping arrangements here?

I remember cackling about Merlin and Arthur’s angsty back to back sitting but there’s so much more going on

Percival’s so freaking tall Arthur has to sit all scrunched up

Leon and Lancelot seem to just be doing their own thing and good for them

Why does Gwaine need to sleep right there? Elyan’s practically resting his feet on him. You could ask why is Gwaine not moving but you could also ask why Elyan has not made him move. Why are they like this

Also if Gwaine’s not careful his hair is going to set on fire

Are any of them actually functional human beings or

Never mind we all know the answer

all gwaine does is flirt with merlin and drink and flirt with merlin and protect the underprivileged against the overpowered and flirt with merlin

Merlin: Fun fact! Blueberries are the only fruit named after a color!

Gwaine: Star fruit.

Merlin: So close! That is a shape.

Percival: Okay, you also forgot blackberries.

Lancelot: Black isn't a color.

Gwen: What about raspberries?

Arthur: Green bean?

Elyan: Lemons!!

Gaius: FUCKING ORANGE

Say what you want about BBC Merlin, but none of the actors had to go as hard as they did with their performances. It was a show for kids, the CGI was shite, and on Robin Hood (which was the series before Merlin) no one except Richard Armitage bothered to act as seriously. 

But the fact that they did is what makes it so popular, what makes it endure, what pushes it and its characters and ships up the list in the fandom metrics each year. The actors took it seriously, they left an amazing legacy, particularly Colin Morgan and Bradley James. Even the devastation of the ending couldn’t break the fandom apart because it was sad, but it was so well done you almost didn’t mind. And that’s why a show which ended eight years ago is still so strong in the hearts of so many people.

Arthur: everything that comes out of your mouth is stupid!

Merlin: Arthur

Gwaine: so you have magic

Merlin: that is correct

Gwaine: and you can do just about anything

Merlin: I’m not sure where this is going but sure

Percival: Merlin don’t-

Gwaine: apple pie. cheese.

Merlin: sorry?!

Gwaine: apple pie

Gwaine: cheese

Gwaine: can you do it

Merlin:

Percival, holding the bridge of his nose:

Arthur: Mordred, Merlin and I have to attend a meeting in Nemeth, and it's your turn to watch the baby.

Mordred: *looks at Aithusa, eating a plate of raw liver with blood all over*

Mordred: ......The "baby."

Arthur: Yup. We'll be back in a week.

Arthur: *leaves*

Mordred: *looks at Aithusa*

Aithusa: *hisses*

Mordred: Goddess have mercy on me.
