wtf
Arthur: God Merlin you are the most useless servant alive, your jokes are terrible, you shove food in my mouth while I’m sleeping and call it breakfast, you never listen to me- George: *does all his chores obediently, lays out a decadent breakfast in Arthur’s chambers, is super efficient and reliable* Arthur:
Date the girl who is super shy but really loud when she’s drunk Date the girl who likes smithsonian dates more than dinner or movie dates Date the girl who gives you the chance you’ve been waiting for Date the girl that recites random facts to you and stops half way because she thinks she’s being “too nerdy” because i guarentee that she will tell you loud and proud what she thinks of you and hold your hand better than she holds her beer, she’ll look at you like you’re better than anything she’s seen pinned inside a museum, and she’ll write about you in her english papers that are due the next morning.

You remember the scene were knights "pranked" Merlin by giving him endless chores so he didn't have time to it and pretending they didn't leave him some stew? Can we just have Lance rise from the dead for the sole reason to yell at them bc it's fucking not funny, the guy grew up in a village that didn't always have enough food. I just really needed someone to kick their arses in that moment. Especially in moments like that I wished that Lance was still there. I can't believe GWAINE went with it
ya know... that actually did not occur to me. I took it as more of an older siblings/little brother dynamic type prank, but you bring up some good points.
My guess is that 1) really only Arthur knew about Merlin’s upbringing. The others hadn’t been to Ealdor (I think... Gwen and Arthur were recently there at the end of s4 but i don’t... think... the knights were. That could be wrong tho) nor did Merlin ever talk about that stuff with anyone outside of Arthur that I remember and 2) the others probably thought since they (par Leon and a bit of Gwaine) had all been commoners at some point that they would have all shared that sort of thing in common. Since they might not have struggled with that as commoners they wouldn’t have realized Merlin did. Lastly, 3) since it has been some years since Merlin lived in Ealdor he certainly didn’t look scrawny and starving like he did in earlier seasons. Without the visual prompting it might not be something they considered.
All of that being said, I can still see how that might be an asshole move. I also can’t picture Lancelot going along with it. Honestly, my guess is the SECOND he saw what was happening he would have gotten up and given Merlin his bowl before taking over in chores lol. Then if anyone complained he would have brought up Ealdor and everyone would have shut tf up immediately.
Canonically he was probably in Avalon with Balinor...
Lancelot: no. I - damnit. Merlin, just... take some... damnit.
Balinor: do they always treat him like this?
Lancelot: um. well. they won’t ACTUALLY let him starve.
Balinor: they’ll just let him think he’ll starve?
Lancelot: ....i swear I raised them all better than that
Balinor: These assholes are on a quest to kill a dragon egg and now they’re trying to kill my son?!!?
Lancelot: this must be a stressful week for you, huh?
Balinor: i fucking hate Arthur Pendragon. He does not deserve the dragon in his name. Now he is just Arthur Pen. Actually. You know what? He makes my son write all his speeches so he doesn’t deserve the Pen either. He’s just Arthur. And nobody likes him.
Lancelot: huh... I suddenly see how you and Merlin are related so much more clearly 😧😧😧
I think some people are just inexplicably bonded. Drawn by forces beyond their own comprehension, they have no choice but to gravitate toward one another. Destined by fate to keep crossing paths until they finally get it right.

So we all know Merlin says his spells loud af. He’s usually saying them in dangerous situations. So what if Arthur just assumes Merlin is cussing in a different language💀
Cue Arthur asking one day, “Merlin, what’s that other language you’re always speaking?”
Cue Merlin’s confusion, “What are you talking about?”
“You know, whenever we’re in danger like getting attacked by bandits you always mutter under your breath.”
Then Merlin freaks out like oh shit oh shit that’s me using magic dusnankzjs “Uhhh French?”
Do Bakugo and Shinsou get along? of course

Building off of my last post, do we think Hunith knew about Merlin's new job making arthur pendragon question his sexuality serving the prince? do you think Gaius was sending her daily letters like 'Guess what your bitchy warlock child did this time' or did he just arrive back with arthur and she was like ??? why has my son turned the crown prince gay???? is this illegal???
I'm new, friendly, and a big fangirl! I don't bite, so don't be afraid to talk to me!
