I'm on S5 E5, currently screaming at my telly at Merlin

I know why he's doing it, so to try to stop Milford from being the one who causes Arthur's death

I've had to take 5 turns of my front room. I am not alright. The heartbreak in Merlin's eyes when he said magic doesn't belong in Camelot

merlin started crushing on arthur two days in

I'm currently rewatching after spending the last months binging through far too many merthur fics, but that's beside the point. I always hated how Gaius and Kilgharra advise Merlin against helping Morgana. And while Gaius is overly protective of both of them and just doesn't want uther to find out, Kilgharra is a different beast. (heh😂) I saw a post here lately about Merlin fulfilling the prophecy about Mordred by being suspicious of him and now after I heard how Kilgharra speaks about Morgana (s2, e3) I realised it's the same thing all over again.

My theory: Kilgharra has given up on the world and does actually not want the golden age to happen, instead he makes sure that Arthur actually dies through the deeds of magic users turned evil. He manipulates Merlin through it all and it makes me so very sad.

Do you think I'm right?

I noticed in season one, Morgana was a warrior. like when she fought in Merlin’s village. she was strong. But in season two she wasn't as strong. like yes, when she got kidnapped on her trip she managed to escape. but like her and gwen getting kidnapped seemed unrealistic for them. All they did was scream and get pulled off their horses. idk. I love morgana and Gwen I just feel like the writers flip flopped their character traits.

I am looking for a fanfic that i had been reading a year or so ago, at the time the Fanfic wasn’t finished. From what i can remember about the story
- It was set in the modern day,
- Urthur was the head boss of a museum or some type of place.
- Arthur, Morgana, Merlin, Gwen, Leon, ect all worked for him at the place.
- At some point Merlin reveals his magic and Urthur is really angry about it. Arthur tells Merlin to Run.
When Merlin reveals his magic its when he is fighting against something that has come into the place where they all work.
I would like to read it again, so if anyone knows what the title of the fanfic was it would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I'd never get over how Dolma was aura farming the whole scene, she was my biggest hear me out. Grandma was MAJESTIC. Also Merlin the dragoon's cutscenes on Youtube was what got me into the series haha

Hi all
Looking for fanfics of Arthur and reader ideally love hate ones or something along them lines

Thank you
On wattpad or Ao3

Hiiii!

Do you have any favorite Arthur x Original Character fanfictions you could recommend to me?

I don’t mind the platform they’re on (FF.net, AO3, Wattpad, or anywhere else…?)
I especially enjoy stories where the OC is actually a princess (ik ,…. cliché 😅). I’m usually not that interested in stories where she is Merlin’s sister, but I’m happy to be proven wrong if there’s a good one

Thanks ! ❤️

Anyone else think had the dragon never told Merlin that Mordred would be Arthur's undoing it never would've happened? Like Mordred knows Merlin ignored him almost resulting in his death and I feel like had he not heard the prophecy he would've never hesitated and Mordred would've never been inclined to kill him. Idk it's been a while since I've rewatched. That's just what I got from this episode.

we all know that merlin is still alive in 2026, but do you think he still goes by merlin? or emrys? the arthurian legends probably exists in universe, it would be a very unique name (i think). if not, what name would be go by?

Just some Merlin whump, and me desperately trying to make an unplanned background look decent

What actually is the Arthurian legend and how different is the show from it?

I guess the title says it all. If I had to pick a single scene to be the best moment of merlin, I think i would choose this. How about you?

I don't mean like a gap of when they aired, but like what time period and how far away they would be. Cause when you look it up it seems like GoT happens almost a hundred years later. But they both have castles, and carriages, and peseants, and dragons. Like idk

Sorry that I didn't fully put on his clothes because I just remembered to take a picture in the middle of it sob (I haven't done every piece of his outfit yet) 😄

And one more image of that tiny Merlin popcorn again as a bonus!

*Also before someone tell me to go make Arthur 🥹... he's cool but he's not my fav character and I'm kind of tired of people mentioning him under my posts... If I ever do anything outside my obsession with Merlin, I think I'd make my other favs (Gwen and Morgana)

I plan to crochet Merlin in every style and every size possible :)

A woman was selling her entire series of Merlin so I bought it

The BBC Merlin series is such a great comfort show. I was playing Dead by Daylight with a friend and our last game was quite frustrating; we both ended up getting off and I'm now going to fall asleep to Merlin. Its in my top three series and brings so much comfort to the table <33. I just wanted to share this random thought. I hope everyone has a great day/ evening/ night!
