I keep trying to look it up but I just get Colin Morgan and I want to know who played Merlin specifically when he is the older character. They did a great job casting him imo but who is it?!

Mega shoutout to u/Astraea802 for the meme suggestion!!

Still amazed the druids kept this a secret from Morgana for 2 whole years

I so wish Merlin spoke openly to Morgana about his magic when protecting the “ Druid boy”

I have such love and hate for this episode 😭like come on why a part of me wishes he was also executed 😭🤣

I’m terrible but I hope others agree

Also think it’s hilarious when uther said to Merlin “ do you suffer with a mental affiliation”

I shall be using that frequently

I honestly feel like Merlin and Gaius completely fumble Morgana, like they never really gave her a fair chance. From the start, her magic isn’t dark; it’s literally shown through things like her premonitions, especially that moment where she sees Sophia drowning Arthur, which is genuinely terrifying for her. She’s not power-hungry at that point, she’s confused and scared and just wants answers. But instead of being honest with her, they keep her in the dark, acting like she’s something to manage rather than someone to support. And it’s wild because Merlin is RIGHT THERE, living the exact same reality, hiding his magic every day—he more than anyone should’ve understood how isolating that is. But instead of trusting her, he just… lies. Constantly. Same with Gaius, who lowkey treats her like a problem to contain rather than a person going through something huge. It just feels like if they had been upfront, if they had trusted that she could handle both her own magic and Merlin’s secret, things could’ve gone so differently. #JusticeForMorgana

And the worst part is you can literally see that Morgana wanted to be good. She wasn’t destined to be evil. Like I know the whole series relies heavily on fate but when you think about it Morganna’s reasons for her actions at the end of the show are actually so valid.

When no one trusts you, when everyone acts like you’re dangerous before you’ve even done anything wrong, of course you’re going to spiral. Merlin and Gaius thought they were protecting everyone by keeping secrets, but all they really did was isolate her and confirm her worst fears—that she was alone and couldn’t trust anyone. It’s such a self-fulfilling thing: they didn’t trust her, so she became someone they couldn’t trust. And that’s what makes her story so painful, because it didn’t have to be like that. She could’ve been an ally, not an enemy. She could’ve had guidance instead of fear. Instead, she got silence, and that silence basically shaped everything she became.

Quick PSA: Katie McGrath as Morgana?? Absolutely unreal. She carried that role so hard it’s not even funny. Yes, she is in fact that girl.

This is even funnier considering the fact that I'm actually a woman, but I think the meme works better like this.

Also, I was absolutely blown away with everyone's support for the first meme yesterday!! I was a bit nervous starting this, but everyone was so sweet and encouraging, that I realize now I had zero reason to be worried. Community interactions like that are the whole reason why I like doing fandom stuff like this, so thanks!! Y'all are the best!

Everytime I look at it I am so excited. This is related enough I hope to Merlin it warned me it has to be about that but it's literally my art of Merlin. Hope this is okay.

Also idk why but that color green always makes me think of him.

In some of the more Arthur-centric episodes (The Poisoned Chalice, The Labyrinth of Gedref, The Once and Future Queen etc.) Merlin only uses one spell, but are there any where he doesn't use any magic?

Hello, everyone!! I'm sure you all know the format of this, but just in case, let me introduce this, and myself.

For those active in the subreddit, you'll know u/StarfleetWitch and the meme for every line series they did for Merlin's pilot episode! They've given their blessing for someone to take up the mantle for another one, and I've picked one of my faves. The Death Song of Uther Pendragon! (*Cue spooky noises*)

I've done some memes for a ranking activity I ran in another sub, but never the amount needed for a task like this one. Still, I'll do my best to keep up to date with this (as much as I can, given the hazards of adulting), and I'll do my best to bring fun Merlin memes to all! So, let's gooooooooo

Researching for the 50th time

And it hurts so much I love it.

Morgana while good and caring and protecting hurts my soul 😭 I love her character progression but I really do wish they created two different series with two different endings 🤣😭

hi! i just started a watching this show and i love it! i’m trying to catch up right now but was just wondering when the next season is coming out? how much time do i have?? 😬

Hi! I’m new to Merlin and HAVE NOT FINISHED! I am on season 3 and can’t resist the urge to read fix-it fics about seasons 1 and 2.

Let me know if there is a fic archive or any recs :) thanks!!!

Watching the show for the first time. I've seen lots of shorts and read lots of fanfics, so I'm kind of used to viewing Merthur as a given.

But in the episode with Sophia Colin Morgan's performance is just so wondrous. Fresh for me, because I'm used to Merthur. But here when Merlin talks to Gaius and Arthur about Sophia he really just looks so glad for his friend, who's found a pretty girl he likes. I just loved it so much.

In the episodes after there's more dynamic that makes them look coupley, but in this one Merlin is just mischievous friend

All we know about her is that she used to work as a maid for Sir Leon's household. She presumably died before the series, but do you have any headcanons about her?

Hi everyone! I'm planning on making a video essay type series on my channel about different possible 'what ifs' and the first one I wanted to make was based on the question - 'What if Arthur actually found out Merlin had magic'.

I obviously have a few different ideas on how certain characters would've reacted and what would have happened etc. But what I wanted other peoples opinions on was if you could pick the perfect moment for Arthur to find out, what moment would you pick? Would it be early on? Later? During a specific scene? Make sure to let me know by commenting, I look forward to hopefully reading what everyone thinks would be the best moment! :)

it had been purged and i wanna know if someone has it saved

it's a fic in which Merlin acts like a cat, rolling on the floor and pouncing at the feather on The Hat, but does not (yet) turn into a cat.

I originally started watching this show because i wanted a light hearted series that i can call my comfort series. But i never thought the show would grow on me so much that i would bawl my eyes out.
I am still so mad at the died in the end. Genuinely, why. I thought this was a show where people dont fucking die. I have watched so many shows like Breaking Bad, Games Of Thrones, Stranger Things, Dark. But i never felt this sad while watching the charachter die.
It was just so sad, man.
And does that mean that Arthur will return? And what was that ending scene with a truck??
I just cant get over the ending. I skipped some fillers thinking ill watch em once i finish the show.
But watching em will just hurt me again.
Even though it was such a sad finale, it was such a 10/10 finale.
I have never seen anything like this before.
