much as i love merlin and arthur they were NOT the blueprint. they were very nearly the blueprint, but the actual og's were from a book written in 1862 by Victor Hugo. that's right. it's enjolras and grantaire. the timeline goes exr-merthur-firstprince
#i'm right#viccy h was doing it before it was a thing#k so enj arthur and henry are all blonde and in a position of power#with a destiny and skill and crushing expectations and incredible loyalty#and socially awkward/clueless (do not tell me arthur is not socially awkward all his friends are just merlin's friends or gwen's brother)#all have a bit of a rivalry with annoying defiant brunette and don't realise how much they love them (exr truther till i die)#the brunettes themselves are annoyed by the blondes and love to antagonise them but end up loving them and dying looking at them (e and a)#R merlin and alex are all snarky bitches with (yet again) a complicated family relationship#a bitchy female best friend (using eponine and morgana for this bc i am an ep and R besties truther)#who know the destiny and how it will end (alex is the only one it turns out for) (r knows they will fail) (merlin knows arthur will die)#but who do everything they can to stay with blonde and prevent the ending (r goes as far as dying with e)#and end up devoting their life to blonde with unfathomable loyalty while also teasing them at every turn#their devotion gets to the point that blonde's life is worth more than their own#merlin#merthur#bbc merlin#red white and royal blue#firstprince#exr#enjoltaire#les miserables#but arthur and merlin are SO exr coded#none of this heartstopper-merlin-firstprince bullshit#heartstopper is the same time pretty much as firstprince and dont even act like the rest of them#they can't JUST be blonde and brunette they need the vibes to go along with it#victorian era- 2000's medieval- modern
