painted my beautiful wife Gwen BBC Merlin :)

[ID: a realistic digital painting of Gwen from BBC Merlin over an olive green background. Gwen is in 3/4 view, shown from the waist up. She has a soft, neutral expression on her face. She is wearing a purple linen dress with a natural linen apron and a natural linen corset embroidered with flowers and animals, and her hair is down.]

Saw this tik-tok and decided I have to do it

When you and ur bestie like all the same things(and people)

The knights + Gwen have figured out that when Merlin and Arthur argue, you can give them something to hold and they will accept it and just keep holding until their argument is over.

Que both King and Court Warlock holding a bunch of random shit in the middle of the hallway and being very confused about it because their friends think they’re hilarious.

Gwen <3

this was supposed to be a non-colour study omfg

Gwen: Why Lamia is so scared of you? She wouldn't even come close to you

Merlin, trying to hide the fact that it's his magic that is scaring Lamia away: ugh, uhhh, I'm gay

Gwen *gasps angrily*: THIS BITCH IS HOMOPHOBIC

obsessed with how in season one gwen is just absolutely down for ANYTHING. like. oh, merlin needs to steal a dog statue and put it in a wheelbarrow? sure, why the fuck not?? we're going on an illegal ride to scare a bunch of bandits out of a village up the arse end of nowhere because merlin's mum asks? yeah i'll get my coat. merlin needs my dad's best and fanciest sword? what's the worst that can happen!! absolute queen behaviour 11/10

This is my hot take on this

May I just say... Colin Morgan's background stage business is impeccable. There are so many actors who just stand there watching or aimlessly shuffle around, but I've noticed that when Colin Morgan is in-character, he is in-character.

I haven't watched him in anything other than Merlin, but when he's not the focus of the camera, he's still doing things just as Merlin does. Like, trying not to laugh during the feast when Elena was visiting and displaying poor table manners, actually looking deep in-thought and mouthing the name 'Alice' when Gaius was talking to him about her, glaring at Gwen from the bedpost when she was enchanted and was monologuing about who could have possibly poisoned Arthur, polishing or doing a chore or keeping his head down when Uther's talking to Arthur but still watching them with a keen eye-

and so many more instances! His background stage business is just amazing.

was gonna wait to post this til i finished the gwaine one as well but thats boring! gwen in the spiderverse art style 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

their dynamic is iconic

We need men like you. You do?
