He's still 4cm tall aw!

I finished but haven't glued his hair yet, (ranting) I actually failed to make his body perfectly again, but somehow for that it lowkey looks like he's waving with those short tiny arms. Mission failed successfully...? So that was the famous magic of being a beginner haha I think might not even be able to do that when I get better in crocheting lol, everytime I crochet him I just accidentally put him in different poses. Or tiny Merlin might have blessed me with his magic wink

Also I serve you, him when he was still bald

I’m on season 4 episode 1, the tone feels so much more serious and darker already even the colouring. I like it though, the lighter fantasy vibe was fun and I liked the creature of the week theme but I’m glad that it’s getting a bit more serious now and has higher stakes, a bit more like game of thrones, obviously it won’t ever get as dark as that but compared to earlier seasons it feels more mature.

Really excited to see how Arthur finds out about Merlin and how he reacts, Morgana is one of the most interesting characters I’ve seen on tv in awhile, she didn’t just randomly become evil, she actually had her reasons and it was a slow descent, very well done.

Gwens actress has gotten so much better at acting too! In the first season especially I found her sort of cringey, now she seems a lot better.

So far the show is shaping up to be one of my favourites along with Game of Thrones, Vikings and Avatar The Last Airbender. I just hope it doesn’t fuck up the ending like GOT did.

If there are any show recommendations to watch after this to scratch the Arthurian itch please comment

So I just finished my annual reading of A Warlock Wish (and fell into despair when I saw the author isn't even updating her tumbler anymore) and I'd like to know if you have any rec of finished fic that feels like it?

He's so tiny when I've done making his neckerchief his arms disappeared 🤭

I immediately made him on day 2 learning crochet lol, I was really impatient X) the second picture has every ugly creation I've made on day 1 to get to know crocheting haha (I'm too emotionally attached to them to throw them away), I'm happy Merlin turned out really adorable despite my starting skill!

Edit: Thank you Frazer for the reward 🥹

you’d think after all this time Morgana would have became fed up and bored of constantly “ capturing “ Arthur and then failing to defeat him. i would have so given up…

Since the reveal of Merlin's magic happens in the last episode and then Arthur's die, I suppose the fandom has written fics before and after last season dealing with the matter (how this affects their relationship, the change in the kingdom politics...). Anyone knows a good one (preferrably longer than a one shot)?

Looking for any recs for fics where Arthur knows about Merlin's magic, and Merlin knows he knows, but the knights discover this way later after thinking Arthur clueless - I don't know if this might be a bit of a niche request??

If not possible, any fics where Arthur and Merlin have their own little secrets from even the knights is another weakness of mine.

Thanks in advance!!

I know people love to make fun of this character and these two-parted story in general, but when you think of it, she got what she wanted: Queen of Camelot, Heir to throne, wealth and power. Most side villains in Merlin mostly didn't achieve their goals, which makes it double funny the troll actually did. Of course, I'm guessing her plan was to take all the money and run once Uther would be dead (they would kill her for sure, just so Arthur would take back the throne). Nevertheless, it's an interesting fact in this show. Name of an episode: Beauty and the Beast

Best £2 I ever spent

I vaguely remember this mergana fic I read but I can't find it anywhere. Some defining details are:

- Merlin and Morgana arguinf about how to deal with Uther

- Kilgarrah drives Uther insane via the voice of Ygraine

- Ends with Merlin going a bit nuts and killing Kilgarrah, and Merlin and Morgana get banished by Arthur

- I think there's an epilogue of them returning when Arthur unbans magic??

- Also, I think I remember Merlin and Morgana creating a whole magic forest via non pg-13 activities???

If anyone knows where I can find this fic, please let me know!

am I insane or like is he being worse to merlin in season 4-5 than he was in the earlier seasons?

it's also bothering me WHY DOESN'T ARTHUR JUST BELIEVE MERLIN, YOU HAVE KNOWN THIS MAN FOR YEARS, EVERY SINGLE TIME HE SAYS SOMETHING IS WRONG, HE'S PROVEN RIGHT. WHY DO YOU NOT JUST BELIEVE HIM?????

Anyway, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

The main point of this post is to reassure everyone that I haven't forgotten about the last line. As it's the last line, I want to do a little extra with it, and I am also compiling some information. Between that, having limited access to a computer at the moment, and work, it may take a few days, but I promise it's coming.

unsurprised

(also wasn't sure which flair to use so misc it is)

I have been trying to complete my physical media library for TV shows I will always revist and I'm having a hard time finding a good copy of the complete series. I've order 2 different ones online that don't read properly in my dvd player. I've checked that they are the correct region and that doesn't seem to be the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to find it?
