scenes that make clinically insane

some iconic quotes from the podcast 'bait' about merthur

"if we're taking queerbaiting as representation, which we are, morgana is a much better queer figure than merlin is"

"merlin's whole thing is 'if I stay closeted long enough and keep on supporting my oppressor, then maybe maaaybe one day his son will love me'"

"the show ends with merlin living in the present day still waiting for arthur to rise again and maybe fuck him this time"

"because he's immortal, merlin could have called the cops on stonewall"

"merlin in the present day is probably some arthurian scholar and is absolutely insufferable" "writing really erotic– have you ever read an academic essay by someone who wants to fuck the historical figure they're talking about, that's what merlin is doing"

"my favourite merthur fanfic trope is uther will consistently be like 'arthur it's ok that you're having sex with a man because at least you're not going to get any bastards but you can't have sex with a sorcerer'. like no it's the same thing! you don't understand the show you're watching"

"arthur is like 'if you're a sorcerer merlin, I guess that's okay, I just don't believe your kind should have rights'. he's one of those people that's like 'it's fine if you're a homosexual but I still think it's a sin'"

i finished painting them! i'm actually quite proud of how Bilbo turned out ^^

Bilbo and thorin sketches!

Might paint them later today me thinks (´ᵕ `ก)

I think the DinLuke ship is so sweet Ive only read a couple of fanfics with them but the tropes they have are fantasitc.

~ Two sides of the same coin ~

“He never had any real hope in the affair from the beginning; but being a cheerful hobbit he had not needed hope, as long as despair could be postponed.”

The comic is based on a scene from the chapter “The passage of the marshes”

My new favorite Merlin AU is that Merlin finally confesses to Arthur about his magic, but Merlin is too flustered to think straight and there’s some miscommunication.

What Merlin says: I have magic 😔

What Merlin thinks he said: I am a powerful sorcerer and I use my magic every day to protect you and all of Camelot. We are two sides of the same coin, our destinies forever intertwined. Spare me and I will help you become the once and future king.

What Arthur hears: I know a few cantrips. Please don’t kill me.

So Arthur eventually comes to terms with Merlin knowing some magic and things kinda go back to normal except Merlin starts using minor spells in front of Arthur to speed up chores.

But then while Arthur is working to legalize magic (because of course he would) and make reparations to magic users, he asks Merlin to accompany him to a meeting with the Druids. Arthur asks the Druids to nominate a court sorcerer and they just look at him confused like

Druids: why not ask the great sorcerer Emrys?

Arthur: ok where do I find him?

Druids: points to Merlin sitting 1 foot away

Arthur: why did you hide this vital information from me!?

Merlin: … I did tell you, didn’t I? Whoops

Bonus

Arthur: Gwen! Knights! Merlin is the most powerful sorcerer to ever live! Can you believe it?

Everyone … yeah. We saw him shooting Lightning while riding a dragon just last week.

Arthur:🫨…😐

Arthur: Okay, so you're my servant now. It's not really that important of a position, just like, idk, make sure you bring me my breakfast on time

Merlin: I would die for you, I would kill for you, I'd give up my humanity and become a living weapon for you, I would sit by your grave for over a millennium, awaiting your return-

Arthur: but would you bring me breakfast on time?

Merlin: Well that's asking a bit much, don't you think?

As soon as I can revive him from the dead the wedding is BACK ON !!!!

move over cahara it’s my turn >:(
