Listen, I love going “the people of Camelot must’ve been so oblivious” just as much as the next person

But think about it

You’re living in a time of constant crisis. People are getting accused of magic, most of those people barely even know what magic looks like. People are killed, every day, just because they were accused of something they couldn’t disprove.

And in comes this young lad. This awfully cheery little man who takes his punishments with a smile and is slowly turning the future king into an actual person instead of some little spoiled twat. And everyone loves him. It’s the most joyous Camelot has been since the queen died.

And yes, maybe his eyes glow a little sometimes, and maybe things move on their own when he’s around, but he’s a good person and hes not hurting anyone, quite the opposite in fact.

So at a time where Merlin could’ve been killed if you said the wrong thing to the wrong person, nobody was gonna say a damn word because they did not want to see this boy, practically the one who kept the place running, the light of Camelot, burned at the stake.

They weren’t oblivious. They knew. They just refused to believe it, because if they did, then the great purge would most likely restart and Camelot could fall.

Merlin in the modern day Moodboards Part 1;

⚔️👑⚔️👑⚔️👑⚔️👑⚔️👑⚔️👑⚔️👑⚔️👑⚔️👑

Character: George the servant.

Modern name: George Brass.

Age: 37 years old.

Modern job: Butler who doubles as a body guard.

Short rundown of their modern life: George lives with his wife, Sefa, in a cheap apartment along with his brother, Tyr.

Character: Sir Gwaine.

Modern name: Gwaine Jones.

Age: 39 years old.

Modern job: Fleamarkert sales person and boxer/wrestler.

Short rundown of their modern life: He is a vagabond who boxs and wrestles people for money while living out of his Rv, he's in a relatively new relationship with Percival, and has a couple of kids. Just for the chaos of it.

Character: Sir Leon.

Modern name: Leonard 'Leon' Grant.

Age: 43 years old.

Modern job: Detective.

Short rundown of their modern life: He is a detective who shares an apartment with his coworker, Lancelot, and his wife, Vivian. He volunteers at the community youth center with the others. He's not reincarnated. He's just immortal and has helped Merlin find the others.

Character: Sir Elyan.

Modern name: Elyan Smith.

Age: 40 years old.

Modern job: Photographer and travel blogger.

Short rundown of their modern life: He is a traveling photographer and blogger who promotes not only his sister's business but his childhood friend's business as well. He also makes swords and knifes for fun and has adopted a child named 'Salem Shrine' who eventually took on his last name. He volunteers at the community youth center with the others, which is actually how he found Salem to begin with. He is also married to Mithian.

Character: Shrine/druid boy.

Modern name: Salem Smith.

Age: 11 years old.

Modern job: None. He's a student.

Short rundown of their modern life: Born Salem Shrine, he grew up an orphan and met Elyan Smith (his future Adoptive father) at the community youth center when he saved him from drowning. He was adopted not long later and changed his last name to Smith.

Character: Merlin.

Modern name: Merlin Everstone.

Age: 36 years old (physically at least).

Modern job: Physician/doctor.

Short rundown of their modern life: Merlin has slowly been finding the reincarnations of people he knew and had become a doctor. He is married to Freya and owns a strawberry farm near some mountains and a lake with a couple of farm animals. He is trying to take care and make peace with the reincarnations of his friends and one off allies. Including some that had become his enemies in his old life.

And he's still trying to keep them alive while hoping that Arthur rises before more of their enemies do and before the world gets worse. And he really hopes that there is a way for his friends to remember the old days and for his old enemies who have good in them to forgive him.

He is tried of all the fighting and really hopes that he doesn't outlive all of them again because waiting for one of them to pop up sucked. You know, since being immortal and trying not to grow attached to other people is not easy.

Character: Kara.

Modern name: Kara Galdur.

Age: 28 years old.

Short rundown of their modern life: Mordred lives with his fiancée, Kara Galdu, in a flat above Morgana's restaurant & gay bar/club. He is Morgana's adoptive brother and changed his last name, Barrow, to his middle name so he could change his last name to Le Fay.

Character: Lady Morgana Pendragon.

Modern name: Morgana 'Morgan' Le Fay.

Age: 41 years old.

Modern job: Owner of Morgana's restaurant and gay club/bar.

Short rundown of their modern life: Morgan Le Fay is the daughter of a stay at home mom socialite—who had an affair with a now deceased business man (who is her real father)—and a soldier. Her mom went missing and her father died, leaving her and her older (by two years) sister, Morgause, orphans.

Eventually she found a young orphan named Mordred not long after his father died and took him in, treating him like a brother.

She is estranged from her older sister and is helping put Mordred through school and her restaurant/club is located right next to her childhood friend, Gwen Smith's, Boutique.

She is also a former lawyer.

(What would you guys call Gwen's Boutique/flower shop).

Big thanks to @hufflepuffpirate20 , @gwaine-lover , @genderfunky-lesbian , @everything-but-the-not-natural , @witchmd13 , @sautedonions , and @purpleblobfrompluto for the help.

(I don't care much for Kara but thought I'd include her anyway because I care about Mordred. Plus she could maybe change in the future after realizing she done fucked up).

never getting over the fact that merlin is THE MOST POWERFUL SORCERER OF ALL TIME, and simply does not give a single fuck.

bro just uses his magic to clean his room, prank his boyfriend, and occasionally (begrudgingly) save camelot from its own stupidity.

the fact he could do ANYTHING with his level of power. and yet he chooses arthur, every time, over every other possibility.

bbc never admitted it, but that’s pure love right there folks.

something about how arthur pendragon is represented by two colors: red and gold. his hair is golden his skin is tan his crown made of gold. how merlin says his magic is all for arthur and his eyes turn golden too. how arthur's flag and heart are red, how his love is fervent. how merlin is always either wearing a pendragon red neckerchief or tunic, being enveloped by it, him, both literally and figuratively.

Arthur and Merlin can be something that is so personal.

Every time I see it referenced I get so giddy and excited like “those are my boys!!! You know my boys?? They’re the gay ones!!” And if it’s a proper tumblr merlin fan they’ll be like “yes the gay ones!!!! And the gay ones’ knights!!!” And I’ll be like “yes the gay knights!!!!” And it’s just so so sweet and I love the merlin fandom.

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 :)

There's just something very specific about homoerotic character-enveloping friendships from around 2010 where they're semi-aware that gay people exist but queerbaiting isn't quite a thing yet sp their relationship consumes the narrative and changes them both irrevocably forever and they end in tragedy but the ending is JUST open enough for the fic writers to wriggle into that just makes me go fucking FERAL

#yes this is about trobed and merthur #trobed #merthur #merlin emrys #merlin x arthur #troy x abed #abed nadir #troy barnes #arthur pendragon #geothermal escapism #the diamond of the day #these two ships fundamentally altered my brain chemistry #I'll just be doing something else and randomly think about them #i honest to god don't think they'd be as poweful without the tragedy #i want to read every fix it fic specifically because of the unfinished tragic nature of their endings #because of the ways these characters fundamentally alter each other's lives so they can't exist without each other #platonic romantic who cares it's queer baby #two sides of the same coin

gwaine as a character was like..... the funniest thing the writers ever did. because the thing about gwaine was that he wanted arthur genuinely dead at least 50% of the time. secondly it KILLS me that the writers realized they'd created an anti-monarchy void by killing merlin's first rebel best friend so they gave him a second (gwaine). also for an entire two seasons gwaine came back for an adventure and then invoked his own banishment because he could just tell the vibes from camelot were wack. and of course the most important, most hysterical thing about gwaine is that he is, and i mean this with sincerity, merlin's soulmate but both merlin and the writers refuse to acknowledge it

#everything about gwaine is funny on another level. like the vibes are so deeply hysterical #gwaine nolastname they could never make me hate you!!!#bbc merlin character who Fucks Canonically. you are everything to Me.#bbc merlin #my posts
