I am forever grateful that they gave Gaius a lil BAMF moment in the last two episodes of Merlin. He showed up in Merlin's room with a damn shovel (why did he have a shovel???) And just punted that lil slimy punk across the room and beat it till it stopped moving. That thing ate Merlin's magic but Gaius just pummels it with not even a little bit of a spell what an icon

Arthur: Yeah, Gaius hasn't talked to Alice since the Great Purge.
Gaius: All right.
Merlin: Wait, you haven't talked to her in 60 years?
Gaius: It's been… I'm not that old, Merlin.
Merlin: Aren't you, though?

The whole line, “You never cease to amaze me,” that Gaius throws out in episode one, The Dragon’s Call, had me thinking. From what I gather, Gaius is Hunith’s older brother, so she’s probably mentioned his nephew’s antics before in prior letters, like the one we first see her writing and him reading in the pilot episode. Given all of that, it’s possible by the time the events of The Dragon’s Call happens, Gaius is well aware of Merlin’s penchant for trouble. With all of that in mind, the dialogue makes a lot more sense to me, now.

Me who's been enjoying my own quiet little corner of Tumblr reblogging Merlin content, fanart, and posting RP stuff for years, welcoming the new Twitter users:

If Uther Pendragon hates magic, he’s a racist against unicorns so I offer you this
Kirin Merlin disguised because there’s no other Kirin’s aside from Balinor
Tumblr media
In his disguised form, Merlin gets big ol floppy ears and a “fur” patch on his nose from his scales
Uther only ever saw one dragon lord so he didn’t know much about the prominent features
Tumblr media
Camelot would probably consist of
-Mules
-Donkey
-Bovine like
-earth ponies and huge work horses are the majority
Druids would probably be
-Deer/Elk
-Unicorns of course
-and any pony that have managed to learn any other form of magic without horns/antlers

Remember that one time Merlin called Arthur a toad then said magic was outlawed so he’d never turn into a handsome prince?
What if he kept doing that casually, as his way of showing Arthur magic can be useful.
For example:
Arthur: do you ever wish there was a way to start fires without needing to gather firewood?
Merlin: there is. Your father outlawed it.
Arthur: there must’ve been a reason. Fire can be dangerous if it gets out of control.
And he tries to defend it, but it doesn’t hold up and over time Arthur starts just making sarcastic comments instead of actual defenses
Arthur: torches are so inconvenient. We need a better way to make light that can keep hands free for swords or other weapons.
Merlin: Magic, but it’s illegal so you’re stuck with carrying a torch.
Arthur: last time I needed light because you were dying it wasn’t evil.
Merlin: well, it’s unfortunate that you don’t know how to use magic then, sire.
Until he just can’t defend it
Arthur: six weeks?! I can’t miss six weeks of training for a broken foot! Is there some way to speed it up? Or just… fix it now?
Gaius: I don’t think-
Merlin: yes.
Gaius, who knows Merlin’s plan: *sigh*
Arthur: Thank god. Do it then.
Merlin: No. It’ll land us all on the pyre and I’m quite fond of, y’know, breathing, so suck it up.
Arthur: why is that kind of magic illegal? Surely healing isn’t evil.
Gaius: what you ask is treason, sire. Please be cautious.
Arthur: …
Merlin: who knows? Maybe all the bandits will decide to magically take a day off so you can go hunting without being hunted.
A few hours later, being chased through the woods by bandits:
Arthur: non magic sucks!
Merlin: yep. You can always repeal the ban once you’re king!
Arthur: huh… you know, I think I will.
Merlin: great, pardon my treason then. *magically knocks out the bandits and summons their horses and Arthur’s weapons back*
Arthur: THIS WHOLE TIME?!
Merlin: yep.
Arthur: …
Arthur: I can’t believe that worked.
Merlin: me neither, to be honest, sire.
Then they both laugh about it and Arthur repeals the ban, magic is free, Morgana is never evil, Agravaine doesn’t exist, and Mordred comes back to Camelot and gets therapy.
