Consort Merlin: [glaring]

Merthur au/fic idea! So when gewn is crowned queen regnant. Merlin realized he wasn't exactly needed anymore. So he decided to just travel for a bit and then settle down. But in doing this, merlin lost some contact with his surviving friends. The only one he truly stayed in contact with was gewn.

In this au, gewn died without an heir, so on her deathbed, she declared that merlin would take the throne if he chooses to do so.

Merlin, despite not wanting the throne, decides to take it as a way to honor his last friend wishes.

Now, more time has passed, the kingdom is thriving, people are united, and they are happy. While Merlin is just colder.....each day, he becomes more cold, distant, and discomfort as he face with wearing the crown.

Merlin hates being king, but he knows that he is technically the only one left. And he hates that, he hates the reminders. He just wants to move on with life. But being king is tied to the place full of memories, and merlin doesn't want to be a reminded of those memories.

Soon, merlin came up with a plan. He will find a successor to teach. Then, after the successor is older and ready, he gives up his crown and finally can move on with his life.

The problem is that the choices of successors to take in and teach are either childish or immature, or they are only doing it for selfish reasons.

But then a magical twins orpans get his attention by doing some powerful magic while being so young. But the consequence of that's is they have magical outbreaks. When their powers start to break out, they can't stop themselves

The only person who can help them, though, is merlin. He is able to calm them down, but lately, it has become too much to keep up. So merlin has been trying everything to help them out with her powers, but it seems like nothing has work. Merlin has been losing more sleep and becoming more cold trying to find the answer.

Then, Merlin held a party to all kingdom and magical beings on the anniversary of the kingdom. But then, merlin is stabbed by someone. As he is slowly dying, the twins can't watch the man they thinks of as a father slowly died. Especially knowing they can do something.

So they decided to do something to help merlin. They found a spell to try to send them back in the past to a couple of days before the accident to try and stop it.

But the start of the spell gets out of control. Causing them and Merlin back to the start of season 1.

*after a pendragon family dinner*

Merlin: Ugh, this family makes me want to murder people.

Arthur: You are not part of it??

Merlin: Still.

(And he does)

Arthur can’t look Merlin in the eyes, whenever he tells him to leave:

He just can’t.

One admires Perfection the Other Embraces Imperfection

How do you feel about the new episode

Honestly, I didn't plan to watch the new episode today since I'm both sick and busy.

But tiktok spoiled Millie pregnancy for me, and right now, I'm debating actually watching the episode to see what else is going to happen

hi. gwaine overthinker here. i love this scene because the way eoin performed it does not sound like he's joking at all. to me. in fact he sounds like he's in a miserable mood.

mind you this is what the past few days (an optimistic estimate) have looked like for gwaine so far:

and lest we forget:

yeah.

so my interpretation of this scene is that gwaine really is being short with merlin, but it's merlin. and gwaine catches himself making him feel worse. so fuck it! ptsd and moral apprehension can wait. merlin needs firewood.

and to be fair, it's probably a relief to have someone drag you out of your doom spiral and pout at you until you run an errand for them.

in conclusion,

Passed down like folk songs, our love last so long.

Because it’s still Arthur and Merlin, after all these years. Together. Intertwined in countless tales interwoven with the history of these lands. Arthur and Merlin still fall together from people’s lips as they teach the next generation of the once and future great king and his sorcerer. Their names are still written in ink alongside the other on the page of yet another Arthuriana. Inextricable and integral. Together.

Plans for my posts for the next couple of weeks:

●I'm planning to post the rest of my episodes review of Hazbin Hotel

●Then, do a full season altogether review

●Finally, I do a how I would rewrite the characters and the show.

After all that, I will probably move on to Helluva Boss. And I'm planning to do the same thing as well.

Day 2: Knights in Shining Armour

Merwaine! Mer-what? MerWAINE! Mer-who? 

OR: The moment Merlin / Sir Gwaine became Canon

So  just in case you didn’t know, and no I won’t ask any questions… out loud  BBC Merlin takes place in the Middle Ages. Which is all fun until you end up participating in a jousting tournament or a melee by accident and there’s people running around who have magically sharpened swords! 

I know. Wrong place, wrong time kind of situation. Kind of sort of maybe just a little awkward. Unless you end up going on purpose! 

Like Gwaine did in the fourth episode of Season 3, when he returned to Camelot, after having been banished by Uther Douchedragon because he supposedly attacked a knight. Oops.

Technically he did attack a knight, since only the audience knew the man was actually a bandit under a magical disguise at the time, but that’s not really the point here…

Right, so back to the melee.

Or wait. Before that we might want to go back to the beginning of the episode for a minute, just to remind ourselves that Gwaine woke up naked in Merlin’s bed got taken to Camelot to get his wounds treated. You know, the wound on his leg which required Merlin to… take the man’s shirt off…?!

Okay now definitely back to the melee!  Gwaine returns to go fight and stand by Arthur’s side when he unknowingly faces the Extra Pointy Magic Blades™.   The episode was called Gwaine, our boy really didn’t have a choice but go back and save the day, did he?

For those of you who know me… I’ve got a thing for Knightly Favours (aka the ribbons Knights tie around their arms to show the world who they’re fighting for, which is also a promise to come back home to their beloved and return the favour to them as soon as the battle is over)

So imagine my surprise when Gwaine came back to fight in the melee. AND was wearing a Knightly favour… And not just any Knightly Favour. He wore a strip of white bandage cloth around his left arm! The bandage Merlin used to care for his wounds. And he wore it for the whole world to see, right then and there on the melee field. 

To show who he was fighting for. 

And to promise Merlin he’d come back one day. 

In conclusion. Merwaine was canon. Change. My. Mind.
