I love how if you select any pair from merwainethur, the third will be the long-suffering of that pair.

the trio is just one big ball of long-suffering chaos and honestly good for them

Dru took a deep breath. “Okay,” she said. “Just us now. Just Blackthorns.” Everyone went still.

You must know… surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I’d scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you. You have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.

Honestly one of my biggest upsets in BBC Merlin is that we didn’t get a third situation where Gaius had to make up another weird ass sorcerer for Merlin to be. Like he already struggled hardcore to come up with the woman concept, I can just imagine Gaius - the OG ratchet - being like “not to worry Sire, I know another sorcerer known for their...great height. They’re...10 feet tall, Sire.” And Merlin is just standing there like ‘well here we fucking go.’

Gaius fully intends for Merlin to use a spell to reach that height but Merlin and his ratchet little heart is like ‘I only need to get myself a few feet higher, tbh how hard could stilts be.’ Merlin then proceeds to teeter fucking EVERYWHERE in his endearingly shitty disguise and knock over EVERYTHING the entire episode like:

He comes up with increasingly more ludicrous reasons why he must always lean against a surface. One of those surfaces is Arthur, who tells him surely he’d remember if they’d met in the past but his eyes are just so familiar.

Merlin has regrets.

Leaning against Arthur isn’t one of them.

THE INFERNAL DEVICES - SORTING CEREMONY

“I think when we make choices—for each choice is individual of the choices we have made before—we must examine not only our reasons for making them but what result they will have, and whether good people will be hurt by our decisions.”

“Do not let any of them tell you who you are. You are the flame that cannot be put out. You are the star that cannot be lost. You are who you have always been, and that is enough and more than enough. Anyone who looks at you and sees darkness is blind.”

“You know—you know it isn’t just tinkering for me. You know I want to create something that will make the world better, that will make things better for the Nephilim. Just as you do, in directing the Institute.”

“I promise to charm the dickens out of him. I shall charm him with such force that when I am done, he will be left lying limply on the ground, trying to remember his own name.’

“It is only that I fear— I fear that if I applied for it, Mrs. Branwell would think I am ungrateful for all that she has done for me. She saved my life and raised me up. She gave me safety and a home. I would not repay her for all that by abandoning her service.”

“But the way you hated yourself … I understood that. Jem always wanted to give me a chance, as Charlotte did. But I do not want the gifts of generous hearts. I want to be seen as I am.”

“I will give my ridiculous sister my salary for the rest of my life if she desires it, but I will not admit to wrongdoing—not for myself, not for any of us. Yes, I put an arrow through his eye. Its eye. And I would do it again.”

“One must always be careful of books and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us.” 

“We are not going to tell Charlotte of our conversation with the Consul. But neither are we going to spy on her. Gabriel, you are my brother, and I love you. I would do anything to protect you. But I will not sell out your soul and mine.”

“Never before have I sent away anyone who told me they had nowhere else to go, and I will not start now. I will ask of you only one thing. To allow someone to live in the Institute, in the very heart of the Enclave, is to place my trust in their good intentions. Do not make me regret that I have trusted you.”
