#how long have you been training to be a prat?
Text
kinda wild that a 2012 TV show introduced their main male characters to us by basically having their dynamic be -"shut up!" and "make me!"
#glorious#'do you know how to walk on your knees?'#'do you want me to show you?'#'you can't talk to me like that'#'oh im sorry. how long have you been training to be a prat *my lord*'#'oh no what are you gonna do? get your daddys men to protect you?'#KSJFJDJSKSKSKS#FUCKING WILD#iconic iconic iconic#everyone say thank you BBC#bbc shows#merthur#bbc merlin

Not me sitting here thinking about writing a fic where we start with Arthur dying in Merlin's arms after Camlaan and it's all tragedy and then the magic rises and they both end up back at that first day, in the marketplace, Merlin with "How long have you been training to be a prat, my lord?" dying on his lips as they stare at each other, fascinated, horrified, so fucking relieved because they both remember ALL of it and none of it's happened yet and this time they can maybe make it to a different, better ending.
And they can do it together.

Merlin is the FATHER of savagery:
“Look, I’ve told you you’re an ass. I just didn’t realize you were a royal one.”
"How long have you been training to be a prat, my lord"
Arthur: “We’re supposed to be hunting. It requires speed, strength, and an agile mind!” Merlin: "So you're able to get by on two of the three then?"
Uther: “If this were a time of war, I’d have you flogged.” Merlin: “But since it’s not we’ll let it go just this once?”
"One day you'll transform into a beautiful prince. But magic's outlawed in Camelot so that'll probably never happen."
Merlin: "She likes you?" Gaius: nods head Merlin:"Oh, that is disgusting." "Imagine...imagine if she kissed you! UGH"
Arthur: "Take some advice from someone who knows about women-” Merlin: “If such a person existed maybe I would”
Arthur: "You have the mind of a child" Merlin: "Yet I'm still more intelligent than you"
"I take it you haven't come all this way JUST TO SMASH MY FAVORITE POT"
Leon: "Whats the job, exactly?" Merlin: "To kill Arthur" Leon: "Driving you mad isn't he?" Merlin: "Not for much longer!"
Gaius: “Sometimes two heads are better than one.” Merlin: “Yes but not when one of them is yours.”
"PERCIVAL, that is a sword, it DOES hurt"
"Will it be hot? Will it be cold? Will it be wet? Will it be dry?"
Merlin: "I wouldn't do that if I were you because if you do that....you'll never learn of my plan." Arthur: "... What plan?" Merlin: "EXACTLY! That's why you can't run me through!"
"Don't think too hard, I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself"
"Are you threatening me with a SPOON?"
Morgana: "You’re just my imagination" Merlin: "That’s right. I’m not really here. Just pretend i’m not really here!"
"The belt is one hole shy of perfection!"
"Do you want us to help you?.... Or do you want to do this alOoOone"
......
...
No other character will be as iconic as Merlin :)

Arthur: No one is perfect.
Merlin: how long have you been training to be a prat, my lord?
Arthur, flustered: one person is perfect.

I'm curious, (and I want to use the fancy poll thing). To the Merlin fandom: what sold you on this show? Not necessarily what made you start watching, but what made you keep watching and join the fandom?

Today I was standing in line at the food store, Dissociating About Merlin, you know, as one does, and thought to myself:
Me: “Colin Morgan had so many different Acting Choices regarding how he delivered ‘How long have you been training to be a prat, my lord?’, and instead of choosing ‘angrily belligerent’ or ‘simmeringly threatening’ or ‘insultingly snappish’ he chose to go with ‘sassily flirtatious’. That was his acting choice. Sassily flirtateous.”

Ominis, after finally being convinced to have a friendly duel with MC: I warn you, I've been trained to kill since birth.
MC, blindfolded to help level the playing field and absolutely elated at the situation: wow, and how long have you been training to be a prat?
Ominis: you can't address me like that!
MC, remembering Ominis is from a pureblood family and looks in Sebastian's direction with a shit eating grin: oh, sorry.
Sebastian, watching from the sidelines: 😂😂😂
MC, bowing/curtseying low with a sultry smirk on their face: how long have you been training to be a prat, my lord?
Sebastian, having not expected that reaction: 😳
Ominis, being absolutely flustered by the purring tone of their voice: 😳😳😳

why is nobody talking about how depressing the first episode of merlin is. Like he goes "if i didnt have magic i could just as well die" and asks Gaius if hes a monster in like, the first twenty minutes and every discourse i see about the first episode is like "haha silly gays, how long have you been training to be a prat, MY LORD, whoa this is the first episode and theyre flirting" like yeah ok but can somebody give merlin a hug please
