Oh. My. God. You can freely give Colin Morgan a 20 seconds scene with a full zoom on his face and you’ll be guaranteed he’ll tell a whole story with just that.
The “good night, son” - “sleep well, father” scene from the Last Dragonlord. The joy in Merlin’s eyes. The fact that he realizes he can say these words for the first time in his life. The rare moment when he feels whole, loved, like the hole in his heart has finally been filled. The hope that is sparkling in the corners of his eyes - for the future, for a life he could never have. My heart aches for him. I want to give him a blanket and take all his worries away.
pls this is my absolute favorite scene w colin morgan because you can see him MOUTH THE WORDS and then smile n cry a little because HE! HAS! NEVER! SAID! THOSE! WORDS! BEFORE!!! just the way an entire story and thought process plays out on his face without him having to say even a sentence. this man.
