MERLIN
What I love about the disaster trio - Merlin, Arthur and Gwaine - is that they are ready to die for each other in like a split second.
Marlin would die for Arthur. Arthur for Merlin. Gwaine for both of them. Like I can understand that everybody wants to protect the future king but the fact that they are ready to die for a servant (from their perspective he’s not a magician) amazes me.
MERLIN
So I’ve been wondering how during literally every episode Arthur or Uther are almost killed and the only thing keeping them from dying is Merlin.
So before Merlin came to Camelot did it look the same? Like they were harmed/poisoned every other day? Like were they thinking that they are just very unlucky?
And when Merlin appeared in their lives and started saving them did they just assume that they got better at protecting themselves?
They would be like “ah yes the luck has came back to us we are so great” while Merlin is like “b i t c h”

The thing that makes me chuckle every time is I think there is a hierarchy among the knights like when they are riding Arthur should come first, then the best knights then less great and at the end additional people like servants. But no.
There is Arthur, Merlin and t h e n the knights. And Merlin doesn’t even go after the price, he rides along with him. Like their positions are equal.
And I wonder if the other knights ever asked Arthur about it. Like sir Leon maybe or other “hey I’m your greatest knight, shouldn’t I be at the front?”. I bet if they did they would ride at the end for the rest of their life.
I started watching season 2 of Merlin and what bugs me most is the nonexistent character development on behalf of Arthur. It’s like he forgets all he learnt from the previous episode or, even worse, from half an hour ago.
It’s like Gwen told him he shouldn’t treat servants like shit and he’s all like yea sure you’re right. And the second Merlin comes in Arthur treats him like shit. Like ???
Does he have a memory span of a goldfish or does he learn to treat Gwen with respect only cause he’s attracted to her (and so if he’s not attracted to Merlin he will continue to treat him badly) which is not an improvement of his character.
I started watching Merlin and I gotta tell you I love the dynamic between Merthur: it’s like ah yes the strong idiot and the magic idiot.
The energy between them is also exquisite and it reminds me of the energy between Patrochilles and *chef’s kiss*.
Yes. Yes you are.

Arthur: I would die for you
Merlin: I would die for you first
Gaius: (from across the room) NO ONE HERE IS DYING!
Gwaine: Having sex doesn’t mean you’re dating!
Merlin: Right! If it did, Arthur and I would be dating.
Everyone:
Merlin:What?
