I am a firm believer that the BBC Merlin fandom will never die, therefore neither will the institution of BBC Merlin. There are still accounts on tumblr talking about it, making content for it. And now there are tiktok accounts talking about and making content for it.
There will come a time, when the world is finally ready, when someone will pick it up again. It won't be a sixth season, though. It will be a new series, of Merlin in the modern world, looking for Arthur, or whatever version of Arthur this world could give him. And, if the stars are aligned, if the gods are content, if the moon allows, it will be gay. Hopefully.

One of the reasons Arthur adores Merlin is bc Merlin genuinely doesn’t give a shit that he’s the prince, Merlin treats him like a normal person. Especially when they first met, when he realized he was sassing off to the literal prince he doubled down and was even sassier. He didn’t tip-toe around Arthur because of his Royal status. Even as his servant Merlin was just doing his job but he was never a fucking suck up to royalty. In “The Once and Future Queen” Arthur is tired of his knifes tip-toeing so he enters the tournament with an undercover so he can be treated normally, and fairly. But Merlin has been treating him this way since the beginning, and Arthur adore Merlin for that bc Merlin was really the first person to see Arthur as just another human.
Their dynamic is amazing and I will forever adore this stupid show

I'm rewatching Merlin
Arthur was so open to magic on season 1.
He protected Moldred, and he tried to defend any sorcerer that hadn't done anything, or that wasn't clear that it was actually a sorcerer.
He knew that his father was wrong, but it was more of "I can't disobey, I would be worse for everyone" rather than "We can't trust in Magic, it's bad".
And Merlin was so reckless, everytime.
He was begging to be seen. And he didn't stop to THINK even a second.
And also, they have trust each other since day one. It hurts so much.

It sometimes shocks me how absolutely gay the show Merlin is. Normally for pintrest boards for shows or other things like that, I make subcategories for the ships and for fanart.
I can't even do that because the board itself is just Murther. The entire show, from episode one, is them being in love and pretty much everyone except them knowing it.

Does anyone have a screenshot of Merlin using magic while Arthur is in frame? I need it for meme purposes.

Fuck it I’ve got serious brainrot so
Merlin characters as dnd players
Merlin: elven sorcerer (named Emrys ofc).
- Draconic bloodline with gold dragon (Kilgarrah) ancenstry
Arthur: human fighter (look I’m not saying he’s basic I’m just saying it fits).
- Definitely had an elaborate plan to romance Merlin from the beginning, but got lost in the roleplay and ended up in a relationship with Gwen’s character
- his PC is 100% a self-insert. He used his real first name and tacked on Pendragon as a fantasy surname
Morgana: tiefling warlock
- she and Arthur definitely planned out the sibling drama backstory together and were so excited to reveal it to the party
- her character’s name is Morgana Faye (my modern!au hc is that her name is actually Morgan and they call her Morgana as a joke/ nickname of sorts. She used it for her PC)
- her patron is her fiendish half-sister Morgause, who repeatedly tries to get her to betray the party
Gwaine: dwarf
- he’s either a bard or a rogue idk
- probably has a high CHA stat
- flirts with all the NPCs
Lancelot: human Paladin
- didn’t want to play at first
- Merlin made him
- his patron is Emrys (who is revealed to be a lesser god about halfway through the campaign)
Percival: Goliath barbarian
- gwaine picked it for him
Mordred: elven Druid
- Not sure about the race for him…
- Druid only seemed appropriate lol
Leon: forever DM (rip)
- has a DMPC called Leon the Long-Suffering who he created purely to deal with the party’s bs (he’s a Paladin)
I cannot for the life of me think of anything for Gwen and Elyan so feel free to add your ideas and let me know if I missed anyone

I need the BBC to remake Merlin with the same exact cast and cheesy special effects but tumblr gets to contribute 10% to every script

I just rewatch Merlin season 1 of Merlin.
Here are some thoughts and notes, for anyone and writers.
• Merlin was reckless with his magic and his actions. He never sits to think how stuff is going to affect everything in the future.
He made the document for Lancelot without stopping to think that if only one person from that house visit, sent a letter of was in the city his plan would be doom, and Lancelot will pay for it. Same with Gwen's dad a LEAVING A GLOWING BAG IN HER HOME. It's ok if you want to cure him, but take away the evidence!!!
• Arthur did trust Merlin, he just wanted enough evidence to bring stuff to his father (because he wouldn't listen)
• Uther was a bad king, he killed everyone that was related to magic, but at the same time he didn't. He cared more about being King (power), rather than being a good ruler.
Also, maybe Uther was a normal king, and It seems bad just because If a politician tries to be like that it would be seen as a terrible person and would damage his public image today. Kings can be bothered by that, but it's not like people can do much if they don't like Uther.
He killed the person that offered inn to a sorcerer (that didn't even know, it was a service they provided to anyone), but not the daughter of the men that was saw doing sorcery (Gwen's dad and the alchemist).... They live in the same home. Also, if you say something that he didn't like he wouldn't listen to it, he prefers to throw everyone in the dungeon rather that acknowledge that everyone else has a valid opinion) That's why Arthur did hide stuff from him. Also, It took one incident so Uther completely trusts a new medic with everything. It was so weird because even if someone is a better healer than Gaius, the old man has a lot of knowledge about the kingdom that you can't replace. wtf is wrong with Uther.
• Arthur defended magic multiple times, saying that they deserve a fair investigation/court process. Even if he thought Magic was evil, he was rational about it. He just knew what he was told, but was open when magic proved to be good
He was grateful with Will, with the orb in the cave. He was open to proceed with the test in the unicorn fiasco.
• Merlin didn't care about murder when it was the enemy, he killed multiple people in season 1 without remorse. He killed bandits like flys.
• Since the first "lucky tree" that helped Arthur in battle, he never saw that as something weird.... He always thought it was luck. My price, you're so blind and oblivious.
• Merlin was able to move stuff without words, just his intentions. I would like to believe that using spells to do the same things would need to be more efficient.
Like, less draining, or more effective, or more controlled, or more specific. It has to be a reason why he uses spells for something that he did without much effort. The only thing that I can think of as an example is when Merlin moved his boots when he was hiding in Morgana's room, he didn't drag those, he made them quietly walk towards him.
• Arthur did tell Merlin that he saw him as a friend.
• Arthur and Merlin ate rat meat, and It seems that Morgana and Gwen did too. Do with that info what your creativity wants to do.
• Uther was supposed to die on season 1. It seems that Arthur was supposed to be king not long enough after Merlin arrived at Camelot. Merlin saved his ass so many times, even when Kilgharrah told him multiple times to let it be.
• Merlin knows a spell to bring to life statues and pictures. I'm still on season 1 but I don't remember him using that spell even again....
• Morgana was just as sick as Arthur about the bullshit of Uther. Arthus train though was "I need to be better than him", and Morgana was "We need to hurry his last breath". Arthur has hope, Morgans has desperation.
• In season 1 It looked like everyone was kind of flirting with the opposite gender. Merlin was looking with idiotic eyes for every woman, everyone was pairing Morgana and Arthur to the point of jealousy. It's weird, I need to reach the point where Arthur has eyes only for Gwen and Merlin always remembers Freya.
• ALMOS EVERY CHAPTER HAS SOME SORCERER/MAGIC TRYING TO HURT UTHER/ARTHUR/MORGANA, it's not weird that Arthur bought Uther ideas, even just a little. I'm surprised he's that cool about certain situations in season 1.
I have more thoughts but it's 2 am and I'm tired.
Sorry for any errors, it's late, I'm tired, and English is my second language.
