Merlin Fandom - Tumblr Posts

Here's my contribution to Merlin

Dear Merlin fandom:

This fandom has not enough ear related jokes!

I wholeheartedly believe that Morgana never wanted the throne!!!

She wanted to be seen, she wanted to be loved, and at that point (after suffering so much and gaining so little) a throne was the only way she felt she could attain it.

sad song: exists

me: *stomps angrily to my phone to Shazam it because goddamn it fits the merlin BBC angst so well*

Taking all this Merlin content and wringing it out like a damp rag I need all that happiness please I no longer wish to be reminded of reality

shut up merlin*

*gay gay gay homosexual in love gay

when Gwen was all mind controlled and shit it was like a more advanced level (more than Merlin's, able to make decisions but still conducting the caster's wishes) right?

does anyone ever think about that, while she was under Morgana's influence, she treated Morgana with the same care and concern that she did in the early seasons???? because I do, I think about that a lot

This reminds me of when I was rewatching Merlin with a friend

(for some context she had only watched it cuz I convinced her and just finished watching it when we decided to re-watch some episodes together)

I saw the title card and was like wait... That's wrong it's supposed to be the adventures of merlin

My friend was confused cuz she had only seen the one with just Merlin as the title card

So ofc I had to go into mini rant mode about the title being different and slightly wondering if I had just dreamed it but was proven right by googling it

Sometimes I remember that BBC Merlin's legal name is actually The Adventures of Merlin and I laugh

Even the marketing knew it was so basic that it would automatically lower its chances, that's why you can't find the full name anywhere

Merry Christmas!! Haha Merlin Emrys is still alive, too, isn't he :))))

merry christmas!! haha arthur pendragon’s still dead :))))

morgana: i don’t usually tell people this, but—

gwen: you’re telling me

morgana: you’re not people… you’re different :)))

(meanwhile)

arthur: i don’t usually tell people this, but—

merlin: you’re telling me

arthur: youre not a person

do Not make me think of it the first time i read the heartstopper comics i had just finished merlin for the first time and was like "are those my children? they have returned to me?" And thought i was crazy. this being said nick could never be the same level of dick to charlie as arthur is to merlin, and vice versa. but they do have the vibe, the feels, the energy of souls reconnecting once again

i have so many Thoughts… nick and charlie are merthur in another life where they got to be happy :(

(if anyone has any fic recommendation of something like this or heartstopper!merthur pls link i NEED this)

i havent abandoned this blog i swear

i'd sell a kidney to have these video diaries back

I may not be a dedicated member of the merlin fandom, but they have some of the best fan fictions and aus and it’s hell a lot of fun anyways. A lot of fics which have sustained me in this lockdown period have come from this lovely fandom right here. So a shoutout.

I finally finished the first digital art I started months ago, or decided finally that yup, it’s finished.

In a Land of Myth, in a Time of Magic...

Look I love merthur angst as much as the next emotionally repressed queer teen. But little shit!merlin and little shit!arthur crack hits different every time yk?

Random Noble: yOu cAn'T mArRy A mAn!?

*his chair disappears from under him*

Noble: What the fuck!? Sorcery!

Merlin: *looks directly at him gold eyes* What sorcery?

Noble: *gesturing bewilderedly at arthur* Your... majesty? ..sorcery?

Arthur: *completely dead serious* what sorcery?

*table also disappears. noble's jewelry disappears.*

*knights, arthur and merlin continue to gaslight this guy for the next 20 minutes until he has an aneurysm.*

*They then calmly go about continuing wedding preparations.*

*Merlin has a nice time with his new bracelets later*

I know the fandom generally agrees merlin and arthur would sort out the magic ban before getting married. But i got to say it would be objectively hilarious to watch King/Prince Consort of fucking Camelot, the OG magic hater, just prance around, lax as fuck because who the hell is brave enough to accuse the literal 2nd most important person in Albion of breaking the law? 🤣

Like just imagine all the dialogues that could come out of it:

Magic-Hating Noble: I watched the chair levitate!

Merlin: I was the only other person in the room at the time... :/

Arthur: Are you accusing your King Consort of sorcery? *royal angry face*

Magic-Hating Noble: No! No... sire.

Arthur: Are you... accusing yourself of sorcery?

Magic-Hating Noble: ...

*merlin in the background making no effort to hide the fact that he's literally reading a spell book*

Merlin: *Teleporting into a busy council meeting because he's late*

Everyone: *Stares*

Merlin:

Arthur:

Everyone:

Arthur: *clapping his hands* Anyway, lets get this meeting started!

Merlin: *coming back from very publicly creating a massive storm to defeat some magical attack* Weird weather we're having right guys?

One of Uther's Loyalists: *literal steam coming out of his ears but too traditional to contradict a royal*

Merlin: *swans off, spell book in hand*

Let me know if you want more!

PART 2:

Reading heart stopping, tear jerking, soul eating merthur fanfics and then going to crack fics is my favourite form of self care

We've all talked about merlin's purple shirt before. Only royalty can afford it etc. Gift from arthur.

But can we talk about the camelot 'ceremonial robes'? Like firstly, obviously they're fake as shit. Arthur did it as a prank. But from people's reactions, nobodies even heard of this shit.

Which prompts me to think Arthur made up the entire thing for a prank. Which means he'd have to get the robes from somewhere right? He'd have to have them made somehow.

Which further prompts me to think, that Arthur, spent a fucking lot of money, and the guy he'd just met, just because he wanted to see him wear something showy.

Like look at that thing! Does it look cheap? Imagine having that made in literal medieval times. That costs as much as a fucking tapestry. And Arthur bought it just to have an excuse to look at merlin, under the cover of making fun of him.

Do I have any evidence for this? No. Fuck off. Its true because i said so.

PART 2

Full disclosure I was not expecting people to like my ramblings as much as they did, and i'm running low on ideas 😭 . (Part 1: https://www.tumblr.com/amirmeavid/762962965752332288/i-know-the-fandom-generally-agrees-merlin-and?source=share)

Visiting Diplomat: I have heard stories of Camelot's noble pursuit for the eradication of the vile performance that is sorc-

Merlin: *head on arthur's shoulder as he levitates a cup to drink from*

Arthur: *raising eyebrow* Why did you stop? You were talking about Camelot's magic ban.

Diplomat: *blinks multiple times* sorcery... v-vile?

Merlin: *hmmms in mock approval* Its wonderful to know how much you trust Camelot's decisions.

Serving girl: *gets very nervous, accidentally makes a mini explosion at the centre of the table*

Nobles: *have been stewing over the past week of merlin being 'public' with his magic* Sorcery! She's a witc-

Merlin: Don't be ridiculous. Its my new trick. I picked it up from a jester.

Particularly brave Noble: Forgive me your highness, but i highly doubt that was a mere trick...

Merlin: *Makes the table explode again, eyes very obviously gold* See? Its a sleight of hand!

Noble:

Noble:

Arthur: *visibly trying not to die of laughter*

Merlin: *is going about his daily business, levitating Arthur's sword to him when he is interrupted by a fucking scream*

New Knight: *pointing at the levitating sword, looking around wildly because why is no one else saying anything?!*

Magic-(hating?) Noble: Oh shut your mouth boy. Thats our king-consort. Of course its not sorcery. He just practices sleight of hand.

New Knight: ... *is having a mental breakdown, because what?*

Merlin: Sleight of hand. Its becoming increasingly common you know. I can teach it to you if you want

Arthur: *with all his regal prattiness* As a knight of the realm, you should be educated about all facets of life. Imagine. If it weren't for good sir 'Magic-(hating?) Noble', you may have accused your King Consort of sorcery!

Merlin: *dramatically* Imagine.

Poor Knight: ...yes sire.
